12am
(No One's Pov)
Skyler and Gamer rushed back down to the ground floor, running down a corridor before turning to a wall. Skyler pulled a small piece of paper out of her pocket and slipped it under the gap beneath the wall before it opened up with a staircase leading down. Gamer rushed down stairs whilst Skyler closed the wall behind them, running down the stairs after him before reaching the bottom to see that the den isn't exactly empty like the two of them hoped. Students, those who are from Hell... the total number would've laid around forty of them. The two demons stood off to the side "You sure he won't find you here?" Skyler questioned Gamer "I've seen the program, no one will be told about the Den unless they are a demonic student" Gamer assured her as her phone vibrated. Skyler took her phone out, quickly reading the text that had been sent to her "Shit" she muttered under her breath "What is it?" "Alex... he needs my help with something" Skyler answered before looking up at Gamer "I-" "It's okay" Gamer assured her "You've helped me enough... go help Alex" he told her. Skyler smiled a bit before rushing back upstairs as Gamer let out a shaky breath ..."Gamer!" a man yelled as he walked the empty streets "Gamer! Come out, now!" he yelled as the young teenager moved deeper into the hidden corner "Michael has brought you to Crelston many times- you can't use these ruins against me" the man yelled, reminding the frightened boy of why he feared this place. The very spot he was hiding in was small, cramped, dark... it scared him more. "May the heavenly Light protect me from the dark" the boy quietly prayed under tears "May their spirit guide me to light-" "Found you" a harsh voice interrupted as the man grabbed the boy by the neck and pulled him out of the hiding spot... that man was a guard angel, the oldest of the troop Gamer was then put in.... that man was a reason for one of Gamer's scars.

Gamer closed his eyes "May the heavenly Light protect me from the dark, may their spirit guide me to light" he quietly muttered under his breath "May it hide me from the shadows, may it guide me to truth and hope" he continued as his right hand held his soulstone tightly to his chest "May the Light guide me out of the dark... may its spirit keep me as far from its shadow". Gamer opened his eyes, letting out an annoyed sign "I fucking hate myself" he muttered before turning around and rushing back up the stairs.

I walked down the stairs, back to where I started with the group still following behind me until one person appeared by my side "Hello Elizabeth" I immediately turned my head to see Ares "Ares- were you here the whole-" "A part of the group you were so greatly showing around" Ares said. I gave him a small hug "It's great to see you Bloodworth" "You too, Angel" Ares smiled, ending the hug "But please reframe from using my last name, I'd hate surprise people that a demon overlord's son was currently in front of them" "Of course" I assured him... overlord heirs have strict rules to follow before becoming overlords themselves, one of those rules is that no one but other overlord families, Black Councilors and royal blood is allowed to see their actual face. Of course right now, I actually need no permission nor punishment if I look at Ares since I am now 'Young Black Councilor' of the Reaper Wing... and apparently 'princess' as well. I quickly turned to the rest of the group "And we are back where we started, concluding our tour of the school" I stated "We hope the rest of your day is well as you further explore the school again, the school courtyard has small stalls offering snacks and drinks along with our senior-year ego students giving demonstrations of their now well-trained magic and abilities, please enjoy the rest of your day" I smiled. The group slowly divided and walked in opposite directions as I signed "Now tell me what's it gonna look like once 'Princess Elizabeth Reaper' becomes a thing" my head snapped to Ares "How did you-" "My father is close to the royal family you know" Ares reminded me. "I'm not 'princess'-" "Then why the hair cut and 'official person' look?" Ares joked as I rolled my eyes "What are you doing here, Ares?" I asked "I'm here to see a friend" he answered "Who?" "A certain small blonde shadow walker" he said- oh... that's why the fallen's not helping me and why Skyler dragged Gamer off... he's hiding from Ares. Yeah, I full well know about the whole situation of Gamer lying to Ares, but I thought the fallen would told the truth by now.

"Yet I haven't found them at all" Ares stated as I tried to hold back a laugh "Yeah, some shadow walkers are known for their 'shyness'" "Well I really wanted to tell them something" Ares looked at the ground with his brows frowned a bit... I couldn't help but feel a little sad for him "Well I'm here and got nothing else to do" I told Ares as he lifted his head a bit to look at me "What about we walk around and 'catch up'?" I suggested. Ares smiled a bit "I'd like that". We walked back into the Block A building known as Vinson Building "I'd actually like to hear what you have to say to my classmate" "If you want, I'll tell you" Ares smirked as we continued to walk.

I walked down the corridor, leaving the entrance of the Den with a horrid sick feeling in the pit of my stomach... maybe this was a bad idea. Maybe now isn't the right time for truth... besides, I'm not exactly a beacon of truth whatsoever. I lie... a lot, with jealousy and hate running through my veins. I lie about things I know, see or hear- I don't tell my friends about the warnings and horrid things I dream... I use people, even the one person who trusts and likes me the most... I'm a horrible person. I don't deserve to have these people as my friends or be a Black Councilor- I don't even deserve to be loved... I don't deserve his love.

"Excuse me" I turned around to see a hooded woman, I couldn't see her face yet she was taller than me with sunkissed skin and long dark brown hair "Can I help you- hey!" she grabbed my right wrist, her grip harsh and dead cold as she glared at me with bright yellow eyes, black face mask covering the lower half of her face. "The fallen and rejected must have their shadow, help him!" the woman snapped "Let go of me-" "Help the man who haunts the land of dreams, kill the one who controls your magic- I swear your wishes and desires will be fulfilled!" she begged "I said... let go!" I hissed at her before forcefully ripping my wrist out of her grasp. I stumbled into the next corridor, holding my wrist before freezing... a familiar scent, one I only came across once... one sending a cold chill down my spine as I slowly turned my head... to see Angel and Ares looking at me. "Game, wait-" Angel reached out as I ran back down the corridor as fast as I could.

"Game, wait-" he ran off, back down the corridor. Angel quickly turned the corner just in time to see him shadow-walk out of the building. She signed as Ares joined her side "Gone... isn't he?" "Yeah" Angel answered "...any chance you know where he went?" Ares asked "Sort of yet... only one person can ever find him" the reaper warned him "It doesn't hurt to try" Ares said, waiting for Angel to tell him possible places the fallen would've went.
Ten Minutes Later...
Gamer had his head buried within his arms as he hugged his legs, knees against his chest. He felt ashamed of himself, embarrassed about the lie he had told, the lie which outed itself in front of someone who could've been his friend- a person willing to be his friend... a person who might've understood why he had lied to them. "I really messed up" Gamer muttered to himself before freezing up as he heard the door open... at the moment, he was hiding in one of the many storage rooms, behind one of the shelves of boxes. Ares walked into the room, closing the door behind himself before carefully walking over and around the shelves Gamer was behind "Hey..." Ares said quietly as Gamer buried his head further into his arms. Ares walked over and bent down, now sitting in front of Gamer "If it helps... I already knew" Ares told Gamer, the fallen slowly lifted his head "...what?" "I knew you were a guy from the very start... and exactly who you were as well" Ares added "How?" Gamer quietly questioned "Just because I don't seem like a beacon of truth, doesn't mean I don't have the ability to know when someone's lying" Ares said yet Gamer buried his head in his arms again. "I'm sorry-" "It's alright Gamer, I don't care that you lied to me" Ares assured him "To be honest, I found the whole thing funny" Ares laughed a bit "I'm glad I could humour you" Gamer mumbled "Oh don't be like that" Gamer lifted his head back up as Ares smiled at him "Still adorable" Ares laughed a bit. Gamer's eyes burned bright green as he glared at Ares "Don't call me adorable-" "Nice try" Ares interrupted the fallen, his own eyes flickering between their silver and a red glow "I can do that trick too~" Ares smirked, leaning close to Gamer's face as his right hand tilted the fallen's head up a bit. Gamer's heart beated a little faster as he felt Ares' warm breath on his lips "I don't care if you're a guy or a girl, or whatever gender..." Ares said before leaning into Gamer's ear "I'm still really interested in you" Ares whispered before moving away and standing up.

Ares helped Gamer up to his feet "But we can be friends first before reaching that" Ares smiled and Gamer shyly smiled back "So you really don't mind the person's gender-" "Nope, pansexual and proud" Ares smiled before leading the two of them out of the storage room.
