Brianna was fine with Trevor staying with her, but she did tell him that they would stay together until the new devil king was chosen.Trevor was happy that he was going to start staying with Brianna; he had a huge smile across his lips.***************************The following morning, at Burnaman’s apartment.Burnaman was sitting down on a huge couch. He was wearing his robotic suit and helmet. He removed the helmet and threw it on the floor.Burnaman was a young man who looked like he was in his early 20s. He has bright blonde hair and grey eyes.He leaned forward on the couch. "Those criminals and crimes are all distractions. They are not the ones I want. I really just need to kill the other 18 devil candidates, right?" He said it with his eyes closed. Burnaman has been busy playing hero and saving the city from multiple criminals when truly all he wants is to kill the other 18 devil candidates and become the new devil king."Yes, that is the most comprehensive solution," a deep

Brianna or Mordecai."Alright, thanks," he said with a smile as he turned around and sat properly.************************Later in the afternoon,I was done with all my classes for the day and was heading out to go meet with Brianna when I remembered that I had made plans to show Chris around the school. I quickly took out my cell phone and called Brianna. I told her to go home without me and that I would meet her there. After that, I dialed Chris’s number and told him to meet me outside the school; after that, I ended the call. Chris and I had exchanged numbers earlier in economics class. The guy seems interesting, and I wanted to get to know him. It was weird, but there is something about him.I waited for a few minutes outside the school entrance before seeing Chris walk in my direction. He arrived at the spot where I was standing and shook my hand."I am glad you took time out of your busy schedule to show me around the school," he said with a smirk."Nah, it’s not a big deal; y

"Yes, I became a devil's candidate about two months ago," he answered. He started narrating to me about how he wanted to commit suicide because his parents passed away. He was the only child and didn’t have anywhere else to go after his parents died. His distant uncle took him in and began to torment his life; that is when he decided to end his life because he knew he would never be happy again. Jonathan is just 13 years old. His demon Athos saved him from killing himself and made him a Devil King candidate."That’s sad; I am sorry you had to go through so much pain," I said after listening to his story. Jonathan and I were in similar situations before we became devil candidates; does this mean that all the devil candidates were once suicidal before they were chosen? If so, what would make someone like Brianna want to commit suicide? I couldn’t help but wonder."Thanks, but my life is somewhat fine now. I now control my uncle with a red arrow; he doesn’t beat me anymore, and he does m

"So, tell us, where is your demon at the moment?" Brianna asked, raising a curious eyebrow as she gazed at Jonathan."He is on his way here; I told him to let me get here first; I can’t let anyone see him next to me outside," Jonathan answered."Okay, I understand," Brianna muttered. A few moments later, Jonathan’s demon flew into the room from above. I knew demons could pass through objects, but Mordecai and Revel rarely do it."Good, I am in the right apartment," the demon said in a deep tone. He flew over to where Jonathan was sitting and hovered behind him."Welcome, Athos; it’s nice to see you," Revel said as he folded both his hands together."I can’t say the same for you; besides, I came here because of Jonathan," Athos replied with a rude tone."Oh, come on, don’t be like that," Revel complained."Calm down, Revel; let’s not argue; we all came together for our candidates' sake; let’s all get to know each other and our plans," Mordecai said in a rumbling tone, and the whole roo

"It is hard on us both, but we have to do it if we want to stay alive," I said.**********************AUTHOR’S POVThe following day,At Chris Tanner’s house,It was nighttime and completely dark outside.Chris was sitting down on a huge couch that was in the middle of a dark room; there were about three large monitors in front of him."You are on the right track," a demon said in a rumbling tone as he flew closer to where Chris was sitting."Yeah, there are now only 17 devil candidates left for me to kill before I can become the devil king," Chris replied with an evil grin across his lips."I am sick of being Burnaman; I want to get over all this soon," Chris added.Chris Tanner is Burnaman; he is 23 years old, and he is from a rich family. Chris has always been into robotics and technology. He has been disguising himself as Burnaman to help people while hunting for the other devil candidates. His plan has always been to kill all the other devil candidates so that he can become the
