*************************The following day,It was about 9 a.m., the sky was bright, and the weather was a bit cold. I was walking through the hallway of the science department; I was heading over to my first class for the day, which was economics.I arrived inside the lecture hall. I went over to my seat and sat down. Normally the class starts at 9:20 am, but I like coming early to the class. A couple of people were already seated in their various seats. I noticed that Chris Tanner has not yet arrived; I guess he might not have this class today. Besides, rich dudes like that usually don’t come to class on time.A few minutes later, I saw Chris enter the hall. He walked over to his seat, which was next to mine, and sat down. We both exchanged pleasantries.Suddenly a demon flew into the hall. My eyes opened wide. I was shocked and confused at the same time. What could a demon be doing in this lecture hall? Is there also a devil candidate in this class? As I was trying to get my thoug
"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
"I knew you liked that kid, but some Devil candidates can do whatever it takes to become the devil king, take Burnaman as an example. So, Trevor, don’t think about it too much; you and Brianna need to stand by each other and protect one another; I believe everything is going to be fine," he added."Yeah, I hope so too. I will make sure to protect Brianna; I can’t let anything happen to her," I replied as I stood up from the couch.My cell phone started ringing loudly. I picked it up from the center table and looked at the caller, it was Chris that was calling me. Oh my, I almost forgot I gave him my number. What does he want to talk about? I didn’t want to answer the phone, but if I ignored him, it would be suspicious; I don’t want him to realize that I am avoiding him. I answered the call."Hey, Trevor, what’s up?" Chris said with a cheerful tone."I’m good," I replied."I haven’t seen you in economics class for a few days now, ever since you rushed out of the class the day I last sa
"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
Mordecai and Revel were both standing in front of the television. They were watching the live broadcast of the LA Memorial Coliseum on Fox TV."The crowd is eagerly awaiting the arrival of Burnaman. Will there be a confrontation between him and the other 18 challengers, whom he once referred to as his enemies?" the female commentator on television stated."I hope nothing happens to Brianna," Revel thought.Meanwhile, back at the coliseum"Everyone here is on high alert, and as an indication of how high it is, it’s the police rather than security guards who are monitoring the event," the female commentator announced, her voice echoing throughout the entire coliseum."OK, it’s nearly 3 p.m., the meeting time set by Burnaman," the commentator added.All the people that came to watch the event unfold were starting to become impatient. They all started doing a countdown."10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!" The crowd all counted together.Suddenly, a loud crashing sound came from the middle of
person standing on the field might not be the real Burnaman.I was going to shoot Burnaman with a red arrow if I saw the opportunity, but that is off the table, Trevor thought with his gaze fixed on the field.Meanwhile, the two other devil candidates were hovering above the coliseum."Yellow, I didn’t want to bring this up before, but if we die here, do you have any regrets?" The guy wearing the blue suit asked."None at all; I wouldn’t want to live in a world where Burnaman would be the new devil king. I guess I won’t have too though if he becomes the new devil king if I’m dead. He will bring terror to the world if he becomes the devil king," the yellow guy answered.They were both afraid they would die, but they couldn’t turn back now; they wanted to do what they came to do or they would die trying. The guy wearing the blue suit raised the microphone to his mouth and said. "Get out here, Burnaman! We walked right into your trap just like you planned, but nothing is going to happen
Back at where the girl was,"Please wait, let me join with the two of you; I’m scared of Burnaman; I think he is going to shoot me with a purple arrow," the little girl said in a shaky voice.Blue was still struggling to hold the fake Burnaman in one position as they listened to the girl."I have wings instead of arrows, so I don’t know how useful I will be if Burnaman decides to attack you guys, but please let me join you guys!" The girl begged.The yellow guy moved closer to the blue one’s ear from behind,"What do you think we should do? It’s possible that the little girl is being mind controlled by Burnaman as well; it could be part of Burnaman’s plan," he whispered into his ear."Huhhhh, I don’t know what we should do yet, but let’s listen to the girl," the blue guy replied as he turned to look at the girl in the sky."I wanted to die because kids bully me every day, but now that I have my wings, I’m just starting to have some fun, so I don’t want Burnaman to kill me," the girl s
Which signifies that other devil candidates were inside the coliseum but no one was coming forward to join them.The coliseum went quiet for a few moments."Aren’t any of you brave enough?!" Blue asked."This is our chance to take Burnaman down!" Yellow screamed. With the robotic suit mask that was covering their faces, no one could see their facial expressions. But everyone could tell that they were both desperate for backup.Trevor and Brianna were also quiet as they stared at them."I know there is strength in numbers, but what if they fail to take Burnaman down?" Brianna asked in a soft tone."Yeah, we can’t reveal ourselves under these circumstances, especially if it means we would have to let them shoot us with red arrows," Trever responded in a low tone.Two people came out of an entrance of the coliseum that leads to the field; they were both wearing robotic suits that covered their entire bodies, including their faces. One was wearing a pink suit, and the other was wearing a
"Yeah, you do need answers," Lucifer said softly.**********The following morning,Trevor arrived in front of Ezekiel’s apartment door. This is it, he gulped as he pushed the doorbell at the side of the door. He had called Ezekiel and told him that he wanted to come over and visit him, which Ezekiel agreed to.Suddenly, Ezekiel opened the front door with a bright smile. "Trevor! It’s you; welcome to my apartment," Ezekiel shook his hand."Come on in," Ezekiel said as he turned around and attempted to walk inside.Seeing that he had turned around, Trevor saw it as the perfect opportunity to grab Ezekiel. He swiftly walked closer to him as he wrapped his arm around Ezekiel’s neck as he held him tightly, and they both fell to the ground with Trevor still holding him tightly."What is wrong with you?! Why are you holding me?" Ezekiel asked under his breath; he couldn’t speak properly."I know who you are, Ezekiel, you are an angel of a special ranking, and you have been the one behind al
"What happened, babe? Why is your face like that?" She asked, raising an eyebrow."It’s nothing," he responded softly."Did something happen during your walk?" She inquired."Nothing happened; I need some alone time for now, babe," he responded as he stood and walked towards the balcony.With his reaction, Brianna could tell that something was bothering him, but she didn’t want to add to his worries, so she stood up and went into the bedroom.Trevor arrived at the balcony; he placed his hand on the iron bar as he gazed in front of him as the cold breeze blew through his hair.So all this while Ezekiel got close to me, he was an angel, and judging from the amount of haloes on his head, he is a special-rank angel. How was he able to hide his wings and halo from me? I mean I saw Jordan’s halos all the time and also saw Uriel’s halo, but why didn’t I see his own or get a clue that he was an angel? Trevor wondered."He probably has a special power that can make him hide his powers from oth
“Oh my, after everything that happened to you, you let the restaurant get away with what happened, you would have gotten damage control for what they have done to you,” Ezekiel said in a surprised tone.“I know that, but I don’t want to get any money from them or try to make things difficult for them. What has happened has happened and it is now in the past,” he replied.Wow, it seems Duke is now out of prison and Trevor doesn’t want to pursue any legal actions against him or the restaurant. It’s either he has a kind heart or he is just stupid. But either way, everything worked together for my good, he thought.“I feel you on that. You know something, you are a very kind-hearted person, if another person were to be in your position, they wouldn’t have let this all go that easily,” Ezekiel said.“Yeah, but I am me and I will handle the situation however I want,” he replied.Why is Ezekiel saying all this? What’s his concern if I don’t want to pursue any legal actions on the incident? I
I can’t tell her the main reason I don’t want to press charges, if I do that, she is going to be worried, if she finds out that the waiter that poured me the water was actually under the influence of a red arrow, she’s not going to be able to rest, he thought.“Babe, I don’t want to do that because I don’t want to complicate the waiter of the restaurant’s life. The waiter might be going through a lot, and my face has already been scarred, suing them will just be unnecessary because it won’t take my face back to normal,” he explained softly.Brianna lowered her gaze as she sighed. “I get where you are coming from,” she muttered.**********Three days later,Trevor just got back home from the hospital after being discharged, he was sitting behind a desk that had a large mirror in front of it. He looked at his face in the mirror, as he touched the bandage on his face. Brianna was standing behind him.“The doctor said you can remove the bandage,” Brianna said in a soft tone.“I know, I’m
**********About three hours later in the hospital ward,Brianna was sitting on a chair at the side of Trevor’s hospital bed. She was holding his left hand while staring at him.“How did all this happen to you, babe?” She asked raising an eyebrow.“I don’t know but the police have arrested the waiter that poured the water on me, and they are currently investigating the accident to know whether it was intentional or not,” he answered.“OK, but I hate seeing you like this, how could something like this happen to you? It’s not fair,” she said in a shaky tone.“Don’t worry babe you don’t have to feel sad; I will be fine with time, everything is going to be fine,” he replied as he rubbed her hand.“You know Trevor, somehow this is your fault, if you hadn’t gone out on that lunch or had been cautious like I told you, this would not have happened to you,” Lucifer said calmly in Trevor’s mind.“Don’t blame me for this, I was cautious, and I never imagined that something like this would happen
"Alright then, I trust you. You will have to wait for me to text you; it might not be tomorrow or next week, but once I text you, just know that you will have to be ready," he said calmly."Of course, I will make sure that I am ready," Duke replied.This is good; I believe that Duke will get the job done, Ezekiel thought.***After Duke had left Ezekiel’s apartment, he went into his bedroom and sat down at the edge of his bed as he took out his cellphone and dialed Trevor’s number. Trevor answered the call."Hey, it’s been a while since I heard from you; how have you been?" Ezekiel asked softly."I have been great; things are good, and how about you? Have you properly understood the city yet?" Trevor inquired with a lot of excitement in his voice."Yes, I have; I have taken the time to explore a few places in the city, and I must say Los Angeles is great.""That’s good to hear," Trevor muttered."I would like to know if you would have the chance to grab lunch with me tomorrow." Ezekie
"It has not been easy, but the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that he had a child with Brianna before dying," Gabriel answered calmly, staring into Dalton’s eyes."Tell me, where is Brianna? She is one of the reasons I even came here today," Gabriel said.Dalton swiftly broke eye contact with him as he lowered his gaze. He didn’t know how he was supposed to tell him that Brianna had moved in with Trevor, the former person she almost married before leaving him for Jordan. Dalton didn't know how he was going to break the news to him, but he knew that even if he tried to avoid the question today, Gabriel would still find out the truth in the future, so he gathered the courage as he raised his head to look at Gabriel."Dalton, tell me, where is she?" Gabriel added."Brianna is currently staying with Trevor, her new boyfriend, and the person she plans on getting married to," Dalton answered."What! How could that be!" Gabriel yelled as he stood up from the couch with a huge frow
**********Meanwhile, in Ezekiel’s apartment, he was sitting behind his desktop computer at the side of his bed with headphones on his head. He was listening to Trevor and Brianna’s conversation. After finding out that Josh had been captured, he stood up and dropped the headphones.I can’t believe Josh was so stupid as to get caught; why can’t he just abandon the truck after selling the stuff inside? He must be a real fool for getting caught. One thing I know for sure is that he is not going to tell the police about me; the red arrow will make sure of that, he thought.He ambled over to his bed and laid down. At least Josh was able to carry out the task I gave him; he was able to sell the properties. It’s going to take a while before Brianna would be able to buy back all the things she has lost, thus she is currently very unhappy, and Trevor would also be sad seeing her unhappy. I will have to give them a few days to regroup before I come up with another plan, he thought.***********
Raymond was sitting behind a table in front of Josh in a dark room that had a white bulb above the table. Josh's hands were in handcuffs on the table, while Raymond’s hands were clasped together on the table. A police officer was standing at Raymond’s right side."First of all, I would like to know why you ran away with the truck in the first place? Didn’t you think of the consequences and that we were going to catch you?" Raymond asked calmly, staring into Josh’s eyes. Raymond has been an investigator for years, so he has seen all types of criminals and has even interrogated them. What he has learned over the years is that all criminals have an origin story.I thought I did everything that the angel told me right; I didn’t think that I was going to get caught this easily, and now this detective wants to know why I did everything, I can’t tell him the truth about why I did what I did; I won’t say anything about the angel; I will just have to come up with a lie, Josh thought."I ran aw
