"That demon, what’s his rank?" Trevor asked softly with his gaze still fixed on the television."He’s first ranked," Revel answered swiftly. Revel remembered Crimson from the demon meeting.******"I must ask Stanley, based on what you said, does that mean you also wanted to kill yourself?" The reporter asked."No, I wasn’t into that idea at all; I was just an ordinary grade school student. I always got along fine with the students in class, at lunch, and even at recess. One thing though, I was part of the second-class group of students who didn’t have phones," Stanley narrated with a furrowed brow.He went on to explain that he got along with people at the school, but he didn’t have close friends and that everyone was busy doing their own thing. His parents both worked all day, and he would be at home alone until about 8 p.m. in the night, and after a while of watching TV and playing video games, he didn’t enjoy all those things anymore. He started to feel lonely, and one night when
Meanwhile in Brianna’s living room"This is insane," Trevor said softly."It’s a child's solution, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea," Mordecai replied from behind Trevor."It’s usually a trap when someone says to come forward," Revel argued.Back at Stanley's vantage point, he flew forward, towards the camera."We should get as many people as possible to go out there and look for those devil candidates and identify them; we need to choose the next devil candidate soon, otherwise who knows what could happen?" Stanley spoke softly.Trevor and Brianna gasped. "So the hunt for devil candidates has begun," Trevor murmured."This is unexpected; it sounds like this boy wants you to become the devil king," Brianna said softly."If all the remaining devil candidates get together and nominate Trevor, is the process over?" She inquired as she turned to look at Revel."It’s necessary to have everyone’s support; it’s essential for the candidate to want to become the devil king, and of course, you
I don’t want to fight anymore; I want to live a simple life with you, just the two of us together forever; nothing would make me happier than that," she stated as she hugged Trevor tightly and looked into his eyes.Trevor grabbed her hands and said, "I’m sorry, we can’t run away. Mr. Kevin has been on my mind a lot. I’ve been thinking about what he would have done in this situation; he wouldn’t run, so I won’t run either. I will stand up and live my life. I’m not certain about it yet, but I have a feeling happiness lies down that path."Since we have never appeared out of costume, nobody would be able to tell who we are from those images that are circulating the internet. We can attend classes just like we always did; no one will ever suspect a thing," Trevor explained, staring into her eyes.Brianna nodded in agreement with everything he said. "Sounds good; we will do whatever you say,"********************Two weeks later,Trevor was walking down the street, heading home; he was car
"Why should we help you? I mean, think about it; we have no way of knowing if you really intend to protect these people," Trevor said calmly."I will say it again: investigators and spies from every country in the world are coming for you, especially you, and do you want to know why?" Henry inquired.Trevor’s eyes opened wide; he was staring at Henry with a side-eye."Because so far, red is the only one confirmed to have a purple arrow, and with that kind of power, all manner of scenarios become possible. You are a lethal weapon, the world’s greatest assassin," Henry explained."You are a much more attractive option than nuclear weapons, and that’s why everyone wants to find you. The power to kill people with the flick of your wrist could cause a global crisis; I want to prevent that; if you are captured, it’s over; some countries would think of brainwashing you and then turning you into a robotic killing machine, and this country would too, believe it or not," Henry explained while s
"Even so, I wouldn’t be too worried, sir," Henry said."Huh?" John raised an eyebrow with his mouth wide open."None of these people are targeting government officials," Henry answered. After meeting red and yellow, Henry knew that they were genuine people and that they were not a threat to society, so he wanted to assure John that he shouldn’t be too worried about red and yellow.*******Henry and Racheal were working down the hallway, heading out of the FBI building, and Racheal was walking behind him."That was a very plausible-sounding excuse you came up with," Henry said calmly."I cannot allow Mrs. Brianna to be placed in harm's way," Racheal answered. Hearing this, Henry turned and looked at her with a side-eye as they kept walking.I've never seen such a look in Rachael's eyes before; this is the power of the devil candidates; no wonder they're such targets; such ability shouldn't exist unchecked. Nobody should be allowed to acquire it, Henry thought as he focused his gaze in
"This is the lady that was captured recently. She was the first candidate to surface after Stanley’s statement was broadcast; her name is Lily Greene, and she’s an unemployed 23-year-old woman," Henry explained."There are a few more devil candidates that haven’t been located yet; I wonder who they are," Trevor replied."We will begin searching for them tomorrow morning," Henry said boldly.Brianna then pointed at a man’s picture on the computer screen. "What do you know about this person Mr. Henry?" She inquired softly."Mitch Ross, there was a tweet tagged with the hashtag "devil candidate" that said he suddenly acquired a cute girlfriend; that’s not unusual, but it is interesting that he was Chris Tanner’s course mate and took the same classes with him." Henry answered calmly."Right," Brianna mumbled.Everyone was just listening to what Henry was explaining without saying anything. They were all paying attention to the computer screen.Then Henry brought out another document that
Trevor and Brianna removed their hoodies from their heads."I’m glad you guys are here; you can eliminate us whenever you are ready; use your purple arrow on me and my brother, or you can even use your red arrow," the boy said softly. Trevor and Brianna were quiet as they listened to what the boy was saying.The boy brought out a red arrow from his right hand and raised it up. "These red arrows are interesting, aren’t they? If you use one of them to shoot somebody who is reluctant to kill themselves and you tell them to go ahead and do it, they will instantly kill themselves. They are wish-granting arrows of hope; it simply depends on how much that person wants to die," the boy explained softly with a sad look in his eyes.He started explaining how he used his red arrow to make his grandfather, father, and mother all commit suicide because they had already lost hope to live; they all killed themselves."Ever since I saw that if people genuinely want to die but can’t do it, I shoot the
"You are under FBI protection; you have to try and be patient," Lucifer III said calmly. He was hovering behind Lily; he was her demon.Lily swiftly turns around to look at Lucifer. "You are the one who told me to get taken into custody!" She yelled at Lucifer."The search for all the devil candidates is picking up speed; it’s better than being hunted down and killed," Lucifer replied calmly. Lucifer III was the one who suggested Lily turn herself in to the FBI so that she could get protection, because if she didn't, the other nations looking for devil candidates might kill her while looking for her. She agreed and turned herself in, but now she regrets her decision.***********************Meanwhile, back at Henry and Racheal’s hideoutThere were all still sitting down in the living room,"There are just five candidates we haven’t identified yet, and three of them have special ranking demons?" Henry asked as he raised his head and looked at Trevor."That's right," Trevor said, noddin
"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
