(Death's Pov)
"No revealing clothes-" "Covered" "No carrying weapons on campus unless-" "It's completely registered and approved by the school" Camila interrupted, turning around, looking back at me "I know and had been 'well informed'... twice now" she laughed a bit. I placed my hands on her shoulders, smiling a bit "I'm just worried- you know Rieannie's-" "Become a hotspot for killen attacks? yeah, I know... hard to not hear that type of rumor in the entirety of Hell" Camila told me as she rolled her eyes. Right now, I'm at the Ivory Brook Hotel in Sreeburn where Camila's recently been staying... I wanted to see her off before she got on the bus to EU since I'm actually going back with Erik and my friends on a separate yet faster route to EU. "I'm proud of you" I told her as she smiled a bit "Just sort of following my brother's footsteps" she laughed a bit before I gave her a hug "A cross-patch family..." "Like brother... like sister" Camila finished, pulling away and giving me a warm smile "I'll be absolutely fine" she assured me "I know...". Camila grabbed her bags yet looked back at me "Death, our 'family' is really proud of you" "Then I'm doing much better than my human life" I laughed a bit "Death" I looked back at Camila "Trust me... they would be very proud of you" "I wish..." I looked at the time "You need to get to the Courthouse" I told her. "And you need to get back to Enrith Castle before Erik and your friends decide to leave without you" Camila joked.
Thirty Minutes Later
As if reverse deja vu... me, Angel, Gamer, Akire, Skyler, Anti and Dark were on the school mini bus, heading back to the school. We passed through Hell's Gate and out the other side in the Mid realm, a small wave of the realm's magic washing through my veins, eating at the old dark magic that lived within them the last nine weeks. I sat in the near back of the bus, alone as I slowly closed my eyes, the conversation from last wednesday night between me and Gamer rushing through my mind, eating at my thoughts ...as soon as I closed the door to my room, Gamer spoke "I've been thinking about everything... including the problems I have and... you" I started to worry a bit "And I've just got a question..." he looked up at me, his eyes glowing their toxic bright green "What do you want?" the fallen asked, immediately drawing the truth right out of my mouth. "You" I answered before Gamer's hypnotic powers wore off... I slowly breathed out of my mouth. I tried replacing the memory with something else, desperately searching for anything else in my head to think off yet the memory stuck like permanent superglue ..."You still want me? even after what I did to you?" Gamer asked "...yeah, I do" I answered almost quietly, looking at the ground as I heard him sign "If you want me to be yours..." he started as I looked up at him "You're gonna have to earn me... just like everyone else" he told me as I struggled to hold back a smirk. Yet I sort of froze up as he raised a hand and caressed the left side of my face... Gamer looked at me in the eyes "You wanna know a secret? well I've got one for you..." he moved his hand under my chin, tracing my lips with his thumb "I'm cheering for the pretty fool" the next thing I knew, he shadow-walked out of the room... I slowly opened my eyes, looking out the window next to me at the passing towns.
I was worried that night, right before that conversation- I thought I had fucked everything up. I was still a little mad with Gamer but extremely pissed off with myself by over-reacting and telling him that crap... but now I'm just completely confused.

(No One's Pov)
Erik parked the mini bus outside class 1A's dorm house, the seven teens got off the bus and grabbed their things as their classmates ran out to greet them. Seraphina walked over to Angel "Hey, I heard you went into 'God Mode' again" "Yeah well... I wasn't the only one" Angel said, looping an arm around Skyler's shoulders as Seraphina looked at the emrone demon in surprise "Sky..." Seraphina held of the Skyler's hands in her own "You... you unlocked your powers" Seraphina smiled in disbelief as Skyler shyly smiled back in return. "Wait- Sky's got her powers?!" Bonnie exclaimed as she excitedly rushed over to the three girls "That's great news!" Mangle smiled as she gave Skyler a hug, the small demon hugged the angel back. Isra and Leo walked over to Gamer "Great to see you back" "Glad to be back" Gamer said as him and Leo exchanged smiles "Virus is also happy to see you" Isra said, holding out the small shadow-like creature in her hands, Gamer almost immediately scooped up the shade into his hands, smiling uncontrollably as Virus made happy squeaky noises while climbing up Gamer's arm and shoulder, snuggling into the hood of the fallen's hoodie, up against his neck. "Hey mate, you alright?" Noah asked Death "Yeah, completely fine" "You sure? cuz you look a little... out of it" Death tiredly rubbed at his left eye as he listened to Noah's words, just glimpsing at the fallen angel "Yeah, I'm just tired" Death assured him with a deceitful smile.
Akire joined the small group of girls "Hey Akire, how was it?" Seraphina asked "Well it was interesting... but wait until you hear what news Angel's got for everyone" Akire smirked as the group looked at her "I-I'll tell you all inside" Angel told them yet it didn't stop one of the girls from mentioning- "You cut your hair?!" Bonnie said in disbelief... her reaction catching almost everyone's attention. "It actually looks nice" Mangle smiled, helping Angel calm herself down a bit "Wait until you all hear the new I've got...".
Literally Twenty Minutes Later
"You're a princess?!" almost everyone but Akire, Anti, Gamer, Dark, Skyler and Death exclaimed as Angel stood in front of them, rubbing the back of her neck. The seven got all their classmates and gathered in the boy's living room, firstly catching them all up on what happened in Hell such as the Councilor ceremony, the Blacknight Ball, the fact Gamer punched an archangel, the killen attack, etc before Angel finally told them all about her actually being part of the royal family of Hell. "So wait, does that mean that you and Jackal are siblings now?" Chase asked "God no- I haven't exactly talked to any of the royals except for Erik since the Blacknight Ball" Angel told him as Li walked into the room, the shadling turning from shadow to almost flesh. "Hey, you guys are back-" Gamer rushed over to Li and hugged them mid-sentence "Okay...? why are you-" "Just shut up and let me hug you" Gamer interrupted, making everyone laugh a bit "No way you actually missed me" Li laughed as Gamer pulled away and flicked them in the head "Hey-" "Hurts, doesn't it?" Gamer smirked as Li glared at him "You've become a bigger smartass" Li commented. "Well people change after a few weeks away from home" Gamer joked, eyes flickering to Death for a second before going back to Li as Death immediately looked in the other direction, Leo noticing the action "Hey Death, I've got something I have to show you" Leo said "Can it wait-" "No, it can't" Leo told him through teeth, grabbing Death's arm and dragging him out of the room, down the hallway into Leo's room. Leo closed the door behind them before turning to Death "The hell was that about?" Leo questioned the demon "What-" "Don't play dumb- what happened between you and Gamer the past nine weeks?" Leo asked as Death held his head "Death, you can trust me- I'm your friend" Leo told the demon, placing a hand on Death's shoulder. "Please Death" Death looked at Leo, worry in his own eyes "Tell me the truth...".
