Heey :D puh, I am so ready to start a new El Tigre story. Pumped! Let's do this thing! Oh, and viewpoints may change suddenly throughout the chapter. Just a warning.

As I ran out of the school as fast as was possible, daring myself not to look back at the destruction I'd caused. Don't look back, don't look back…I breathed heavily until I reached my front door and thrust it open. I slammed it behind me as I leaned against the door for a moment in an effort to catch my breath. I looked out the window by the door to see that no one was following me anymore. I stood, catching my breath, panic starting to take over me more than it was when I was running.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault…" I muttered, rocking back and forth as I took a seat on the couch. I ignored my mother who walked in the living room where I was sitting to inspect what the loud, door-slamming noise was all about, but saw me in panic mode and immediately sat by my side to calm me down. I don't care what she said to me, I'd stick by my self-blame. She rubbed her hand over my back to try and relax me, but so far it wasn't working. She said things that she thought would calm me down, but nothing would calm me down after what I'd seen on this dark day.

"Honey, its okay, just calm down and tell me what's wrong. Just shhhh, Soppahhatael, " She soothed. I stopped rocking back and forth, which followed the stopping muttering self-blame. She hugged me tight as I calmed down and let the tears flow onto her sweater. They flowed down my cheeks fast, and in numbers. What I'd seen was something I'd never un-see, something I'd never forget. It would be on my soul forever; and trust me, in my life, that means exactly what it meant. Forever wasn't always the most endearing term I've ever had to experience. I cried softly until slowly, the tears stopped and I hushed my gasps and my crying sounds.

"This is just like 1865; it's a disaster, mom I've made the largest, most massive mistake ever." I gasped.

"Shh, just tell me what happened. It'll be okay." I took deep breaths and started my explanation.

"Do we really have to go to school today? I don't like school." Frida complained as she and Manny went on their way to school. In his mind, Manny laughed at the comment. Out loud, he said,

"I don't want to either, Frida, but my dad said that if he finds out I skipped one more day of school I'd be grounded for a month. And now that there are no super villains to stop, he said he'd even take away my belt for a week. Do you know how terrible that is?" Frida sighed in disappointment.

"No, not really." They walked into the school to find the usual goings-on; bullies bullying, nerds nerding, regular people…regular-ing…before Frida could continue walking down the hall, she bumped into the now apparently still Manny. She sighed with irritation as she backed up to see him gazing curiously at a girl walking down the hall, looking lonely and like she didn't know anything about where she was and didn't know anyone. Frida rolled her eyes. Manny elbowed Frida before walking over to the new girl.

"Hey, let's see if she's new. I think she's new." Manny approached the brunette girl with a friendly smile.

"Hi! I was just talking to Frida here when I noticed that I haven't seen you around here. Are you new?" Manny asked, trying to sound as friendly as was humanly possible for him. She smiled.

"Yeah, it's my first day. My name's Soppahhatael." She giggled when Manny stumbled to pronounce her name,

"Soph…Sopha…uhh, what?"

"Manny, don't strain yourself." Frida teased. The girl giggled.

"Just call me Sophie." Manny shook her hand and they walked down the hall.

"So, you've decided to come to Leone Middle School, huh?" Manny asked.

"Yeah. My mom and I moved here over the weekend. Let's just say that my old town was too…dangerous for me." Sophie explained.

"I have a pretty good idea what that's like…" Manny remembered the danger he'd encountered living in his town.

"Trust me, you'd have no idea."

As Sophie finished her first successful school day, saying goodbye to her new friends as she turned the corner to her street and inside her house, she set her books down beside her and went to her kitchen to get a snack. Her mother having been home an hour noticed her daughter come in and greeted her with a smile.

"Hey, Soppahhatael, how was your first day of school?" the young mother asked. The girl shrugged.

"It went pretty good, considering how the last one went. I actually made a few friends today," she explained. Her mother smiled proudly. That was both good news and bad news at the same time; more good than bad, of course, but it could still go bad given their true nature.

"Yeah, it feels good to have a friend. I just hope they don't find out anything." Sophie remembered her old school.

"Soppahhatael Atumhenee Rapziel Bordenkircher, if you tell them too much you know what kind of trouble you'll be in." Sophie's mother's eyes were filled with a warning look. Sophie looked to her feet,

"Yes ma'am." Sophie got the carton of juice from the fridge and poured herself a glass of grape juice.

"Why don't you take your coat off, dear? It's kind of humid in here. No one's around." Sophie's mother insisted. Sophie looked around the windows of the kitchen and saw that indeed no one was outside to see. She looked at the thermostat and saw that indeed, the temperature was pretty warm. She shrugged and continued pouring her juice.

"Naw, I'm fine. I don't like showing off my wings a lot." I grabbed an apple and went to do homework in my room. Before I could dig into some good…what did those mortals call it…'math homework', my mother called me downstairs for a phone call. I sighed, set my math binder aside and went to grab the phone from my dresser.

"I've got it, mom," I yelled downstairs as I put the phone to my cheek to answer the mysterious caller.

"Hello?" I asked. I was surprised to find out who was on the other end.

"….Hello Soppahhatael." the voice said. I was suddenly nervous.

"How did you get past my mother on the phone?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, you mean, how did Manuel Rivera get past your mother? Asking of course." The voice sounded like Manny, but by the time he spoke again sounded like his normal, menacing voice.

"You know I do not welcome you anymore, Nezznus." I warned. He laughed.

"I'm not worried about a warm welcome anymore, dear Soppahhatael. I have no worries. If you recall, I have nothing anymore thanks to you."

"What do you want from me, Nezznus?" I demanded. He laughed once more.

"You know what I want, girl. I want the princess to return to her kingdom. We need our ruler." I frowned upon his statement.

"You know I'm not coming back. I've changed since then. I'm a different person than the one you knew."

"But you know your father would want you to take his place on the throne, Soppahhatael. You know you want to." As right as he was, I would not subject myself to being the person I was anymore. That had ended badly and I'd promised not to come back.

"I moved to this town to get away from that, Nezznus. I'm not coming back. Royal blood or not."

"Suit yourself, Atumhenee. But I'll be watching you. If you think no one knows where you are, you're wrong because I know just where you're hiding. And you'll be sitting on that throne before you know it." He hung up before I could. If I hadn't the common courtesy to let someone finish their sentence, I would have hung up a long time ago. If I were still in the old ways…

But that was a different time and a different story. I had math homework to do.

chapter one, done! I understand if there's any confusion in any areas so far, so if there is, just message me and I'd be glad to clarify it for you. I'm sorry if I got some angel stuff wrong, like confused angel names with demon names, because the generator I used just said angel/demon name generator. Review?
