(Death's Pov)
"I think I hear someone coming down the stairs" I whispered to Gamer "You think he's leaving?" "Not sure..." I answered, standing up yet Gamer grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down behind the island "Hey-" "He'll see you..." Gamer harshly whispered, peaking his head around the island in attempts to see the person. "I'll go see" the fallen said "Wait, Gamer-" "I'm a shadow walker, I can blend into the shadows better than you" he whispered before slowly getting up and moving around the island quietly as black smoke covered his body. Gamer disappeared into the darkness of the room for about a minute before returning "He's gone, walked out the front gates" Gamer told me, I stood up, following him over to the stairs "You think we should go back to your room?" "I don't know, Shyama and Rochelle might still be in there" Gamer answered. We walked upstairs to the third floor, seeing no sign of the two mentioned councilors in sight "Your room is closer" Gamer whispered "Alright... my room it is" we both quickly and quietly rushed over to my bedroom door and slipped inside, closing the door behind us. I leaned against the door, signing in relief "Thank bloody hell-" "Uh Death... who is that?" Gamer asked, I turned around, meeting eyes with a demon sitting on the bed who had broken in through the window. She had straight dark brown hair fading to light brown which ended at her hips, dark brown doll eyes with smoky black eyeshadow, warm ivory skin, red lips that matched her nails as she wore skin-tight black leather pants, black boots and a dark pink very revealing top along with some gold jewelry. "What the fuck are you doing here?!" I snapped as the girl held up her hands "Woah there, no need to get pissed at an old friend" she smirked "You're suppose to be in the lust ring-" "Yeah, got sick of that ring a couple decades ago, been travelling around performing instead" she interrupted me while standing up.
"Okay, seriously... who are you?" I signed at Gamer's words "Gamer, this... is Camila Scar" I introduced the girl to him "Oh, okay-" "Holy shit! Gamer Shadow? You're the fallen angel Death's obsessed with?!" Camila asked in disbelief "Wait, how did-" "I've heard a lot of rumors" Camila answered, smirking at me. "I have to be honest, those rumors nearly live up to the expectations of you" Camila told Gamer as she circled him "At one point, I've heard one thing from what Jorah told people in the lust ring- that is one hungry place someone such as you shouldn't visit" Camila warned Gamer. "Alright Camila, why are you here?" I asked, glaring at her with my arms folded as she 'innocently' smiled at me while she walked over "What? Can't I visit my favorite person in all of Hell?~" Camila summoned her scissors, lightly running the blade along my jaw as I continued to glare at her, feeling a droplet of blood run down my neck yet... a second later, the cut glowed gold before healing. Camila's eyes immediately snapped up at my own "How did you just heal yourself?" Camila questioned me as I took a step back from her "I didn't heal myself" "No- torture demons, especially Ripper demons can't heal themselves, they're supposed to be representations of destruction and Hell's torture itself... not creation or 'healing'..." Camila looked at me as if I was hiding something. My face grew cold "You're right, Camila... I don't have healing abilities-" "But... I do" Gamer interrupted me "Game-" the fallen walked over to me and Camila. "What is he- hey!" midsentence, Gamer grabbed Camila's wrist, ripped her scissors out of her hands and made a small cut on her arm "What are you-" before Camila could finish her sentence, Gamer licked his thumb and placed it on the cut. The cut itself immediately glowed before closing up, no trace of the cut ever existing whatsoever "How did..." I was lost for words as Camila stared in amazement "Who cares, the angel's cooler than I thought!" Camila laughed.
She then paused, smirking at me... and unfortunately I knew exactly what she was thinking and where she was about to take this conversation "So you two-" "You had your fun with your 'visit', Camila... but you now need to go" I told her "We've got a lot of things to do tomorrow along with the worries of heading back to school next year" I lied, heading towards the door. "Well actually, that's what I'm here about... I've got some... 'news', personally good news" I looked back at Camila as she smiled "I got into Rieannie Ego University, I start next year"... both me and Gamer looked at her in disbelief. A few minutes of confused silence passed before I could even speak "There is no way you got accepted into the ego program" "No, I didn't" Camila... agreed? Her answer left both me and the fallen very confused "I'm in the business studies course" Camila announced, reminding me of something. EU has several main classes to choose from; the ego program where you become human egos, norm classes which are just normal classes for any of the local midrealm students of Rieannie, the transferic program for any Hell or Heaven people transferring to the midrealm permanently, the business studies course, and the 'Colored Army' course which only has twenty students in total training and learning before joining one of the many armies. By looking at the numbers, EU roughly has about two thousand and seven hundred students, and about seventy teachers... just knowing that alone, EU is just lucky that the school itself and the dorm block is huge, big enough for such a number. "Death, Gamer" I turned my head to the door to see Rochelle yet she was wearing a hateful glare "Who the hell is this?" Rochelle questioned, looking at Camila "An old... friend-" "Well it's getting late, so all 'old friends' must leave now" Rochelle interrupted me while continuing to glare at Camila.
I turned to Camila "Sorry-" "It's fine, you guys probably have important crap to do tomorrow anyway so I'll get out of your hair" Camila smiled "But if at anytime you want to hangout, I'll be at the Ivory Brook Hotel" she whispered as she walked past me towards the door "It was nice to finally meet you Gamer" Camila smiled before walking out of the room. "Well she seems... nice" Gamer said, a little confused about what had happened "Gamer, trust me- Camila's half emrone half ripper demon driven by lust and greed-" "She seems perfectly fine to me" the fallen said as he folded his arms. "Enough of that" Rochelle harshly dismissed our conversation as Shyama and Angel appeared by the door "Tomorrow, you'll all be undertaking lessons about your new roles as Young Councilors so I expect that you three go to your separate rooms and get some rest" Rochelle told us, mostly the 'separate' part aimed at me and Gamer.

After listening to Rochelle lecture Death about the random demon she found in his room, she immediately sent us to our rooms like a parent punishing their children. I walked into my room, closing the door behind me just as my phone started to ring on my nightstand. I walked over and picked up the phone... it's Aristomache calling me. I declined the call before putting my phone on silent and completely turning it off... I don't want to talk to her or any of the royals... not after that conversation with Aristomache and Lytrse. Why? Why only tell me now of all times about me being a... I sat down on the bed, head in hands... please don't let this be true.

I walked into my room, closing the door behind myself as I looked at the empty room. I angrily hit the side of my fist the wall beside me... why did Michael have to do that? He took advantage over the fact that I wanted to know the truth, he used it as a way to try and get me to agree into going back to Heaven... but those words he said, they sounded like the truth. Created to be something that Heaven would cherish with its heart... was he serious? Is that the actual reason why I was created in the first place? I slowly walked over to my bed, only to step on something. I looked down, raising a brow before bending down and picking the object up "Death's tie...?" I mumbled under my breath yet could my face start to burn at the realization of what had just happened a few moments ago. I got up and placed the tie on the nightstand before laying down on the bed "Why does crap like this always happen to me?".
