AN: Hi there!

I have to admit. I thought this was a good idea at first. So please forgive me if this doesn't reach your expectation.

This was inspired by my internships last year which of course didn't go like this. They weren't so enjoyable but now I have great stories that I'll laugh about when I tell my friends.

I hope you enjoy a bit of fantasy through this one. Thank you!

The first day was always the hardest. Everything was new, everyone was new and she was new. Even not knowing what to do made breathing seem illegal. Emily had been following Aria from offices to offices, streets to streets to meet tons of people. Half of them wouldn't remember who she was and the other half wouldn't be so pleased if they knew Emily's mind had no place for their faces, not to mention their names.

Despite what was going on in Emily's head, Aria kept walking and talking. She had an important meeting today, Emily had learned that from a really, really loud conversation between Aria and someone named Hanna on the other side of the phone. From that moment, Emily silently turned, looked and nodded at everywhere Aria's finger pointed at. That was a bit stressful but the reason Emily hadn't exploded yet was the sight of Aria's pure perfection wings on her back she showed her fifteen minutes ago.

"We don't always show wings. It kind of gets in the way most of the time so we hide it. We use this badge. It's symbolized our wings to distinguish us with other kinds. When you pass the exam, you'll get your wings and the badge. And that makes you officially an Angel. Any questions?"

She was full of hope for her graduation day. She could get through all of this, finish this internship then put on her wings. Imagined she could finally replace the golden badge on her white coat with the one that doesn't have a graduation cap. It looked so, so shiny.

"Emily?"

Waken up from her day dream, Emily startled. "Yes, Ms. Montgomery?"

"Did you listen to what I just said?" Aria frowned slightly, the heat from the argument with Hanna still burning in her.

"Ah yes, we're supposed to assist humans in this city. Each Angel will have different assignment based on their personality and local. Some Advanced Angels will get specific orders which contain confidential information but that's none of my business." Emily carefully repeated Aria's words, didn't forget to add the Angel Manager's exact tone at the end.

The manager was kind of amused. She raised her brown, the corners of her lips curved up a little. Seemingly let the heated phone call slip to the back of her head, Aria waved.

"Not wrong but actually, none of those things are your business. Your job is to do what I say and now, you're guarding this corner of the street."

Aria pointed down to the street under them, explained. "When I said corner, I meant this hotel's front. I picked this for you, not too crowded but enough to keep you from being bored. Just apply what they taught you in class when similar scenarios happen and you'll be fine." She squeezed her arm, attempted to ease the nervous newbie. "I'll come and check time to time. Hit the button on your watch if you need me."

With that, Aria turned and flew away. What a dramatic exit but Emily wanted those wings so bad. At least with them, she didn't have to use the sky public train anymore. There was nothing wrong with it but wouldn't it be cool if she could fly anywhere she wanted? It was like having her own car except she wouldn't waste money on gas.

Said a temporary goodbye to her dream, Emily dragged a small amount of clouds to where she was standing and sat on it, let her legs dangle above the street. She took a deep breath, waited for her first human to appear. Her blood was rushing.

What will this human look like?

What do I need to assist them with?

Will they be happy after that?

All kind of questions fought their ways to pop up in her head.

Questions after questions.

Too many questions.

And then just enough questions.

And then there were rarely questions.

Even when she ran out of questions, her first human hadn't appeared. People came and went from the hotel smoothly. No one had any problems for Emily's sake. She didn't wish for them to get in trouble but she felt the need to be useful. There had been three other angels flew pass her and though they said nothing, Emily believed she was someone so lazy, so useless in their eyes. If this had been the human world, she would have asked someone if they needed something or how could she help them. But this wasn't. She couldn't just run to their face and ask like a psycho. Well, they wouldn't see her anyway.

Nothing happened until lunch time. Emily saw a worried looking girl almost tripped over when rushing out of the hotel. Her hands were full of documents and a tray of six cups of coffee. Things got harder when she had to pick up the phone in her purse.

"Yes, yes I'll send these files to that company immediately, I'm on my way."

And then another phone call.

"Yes, I'm bringing coffee to you right now. Oh, you want to change your order? No, no it's fine. I'll do that. Yes, yes I'll be there soon."

And another.

"Your suit? Okay, I'll pick it up for you. Yes, I'll be there quickly."

She breathed through her mouth, tried hard to catch a cab. No one noticed her, even the doormen. Didn't wait for the girl to struggle more, Emily smiled, shot a magical light to the street. Three cabs stopped in front of that girl instantly, one even stepped out of his car to help her with all the things in her hands.

As they drove away, Emily grinned widely, looked around, hoping someone might see what she did. No one was there but the smile couldn't drop. Feeling useful was one of the best things an intern could wish for. Next to getting paid, of course.

With a first start like that, Emily's afternoon went lighter. People needed help here and there, not so far from what they taught her in class. They were all simple tasks which Emily was happy to do. A man was late for a meeting, she helped him get in the almost left elevator. An old lady crossed the street a bit slow, she fixed the traffic light to stay red for a little longer. A little boy ran too far from his parents, Emily put a coin on the pavement for him to pick it up. The boy ran right back to his mom so show it.

Nothing too complex. Emily didn't know how to deal with something she hadn't learned. She figured if that happened, she should call Aria. That thought just crossed her mind for a second though. The manager probably was stuck in that convention, she hadn't passed by to check like she said for once. Or maybe her shift was over and someone might take her position from then?

Probably.

Emily didn't know many managers. She worked directly from Aria's words and from what she knew, Hanna could also be a manager. Emily didn't recall anyone she met this morning was an AM. She hoped she was wrong because she liked working with Aria. She seemed easy to talk to and kind of understanding. Plus, getting to know a new one might be tricky since Emily herself was a little shy in this area.

"Ehem."

The sound cut Emily's train of thoughts. Jumped, she turned and looked up to see another woman was glaring at her. Emily stood up right away and faced the woman, one hand clenched the other's fingers tightly. The woman noticed that, clasped her hands behind her back then raised her head high. A smirk briefly appeared on her lips before she changed to a serious looking face.

"Since when an angel is allowed to sit like this while working? You come here to work or to play?"

Her powerful voice hit Emily's ears, made her perplexed in an instant. The intern stuttered. "I'm – I'm sorry Miss. I didn't know. I – I didn't see it in the rules book."

"Are you sure? Have you even read the book?" She frowned, her voice got higher.

"Ye – Yes Miss. I have, several times. I'm sor –"

"Such a liar." The woman cut in. "It was written right there in chapter 319, section 22, rule 212." She looked right in her eyes, judging.

Emily paused for a moment, eyes flicked to the ground, searching her memory. She then looked up, tilted her head. "Um… the book ends at chapter 315."

The woman froze, looked down and up quickly then swallowed. "Well, you must have read the wrong book."

"No I didn't. That's the same book they used in class." Emily replied, stepped closer to the woman. She frowned as her eyes narrowed. "Wait a minute! You're not an AM."

The stranger smiled scornfully, put her hand to her chest and acted hurt. "Ouch, that's the first time someone mistakes me for an Angel Manager. I feel insulted."

Emily stepped back, her hand slowly got to the watch on her wrist. "Then what are you?"

"Oh sweetie!" She walked over, erased the distance Emily created. "I'm wearing all black because it matches my soul. Can't you figure?"

The woman got closer as Emily breathed out: "Demon." She felt a bit stupid for not being aware of the fact that the girl was wearing a long black coat this whole time. Even her shirt was black. "What do you want?" She asked, almost stuttered.

They didn't mention anything about demon in class. She had no idea what would happen to her. Why didn't they warn her about something so dangerous like this? Dying on the first day of the internship was the last thing Emily could think of. The smirk of the demon flashed in front of Emily's eyes.

"I want you."

Oh dear, she wanted her. She was going to steal her soul. There was no way she could escape this. Before she mentally started her will even though she had nothing to leave nor someone to give, a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

"Spencer! What are you doing?" Aria stepped in front of her, asked loudly, was annoyed.

The demon smiled playfully. "Why are you so angry? I'm just getting to know your new friend."

"Then the meet and greet is over. Leave, let her work!"

"But –"

"No but!" Aria said, turned Spencer around and pushed her away.

Spencer turned to look over her shoulder, tried to get one last glimpse of Emily who then looked clueless. She whispered while Aria kept pushing her back.

"She's new here?"

"Yes. Leave!"

"She works for you?"

"Yes. Leave!"

"She's cute."

"Yes. Le –"

"Ooooh! Ms. Montgomery, you're not supposed to think your intern is cute."

"Damn it! Leave!"

Spencer ran away from Aria, laughing. Before spread her wings and disappeared in the clouds, she turned back and waved at Emily. Her sly smile made the intern so confused. The girl had no clue if she should wave back or was that a bad decision.

Aria walked back to Emily, whose arms folded in front of her chest, after she was sure Spencer was long gone.

"I'm sorry for that. I don't know why she did that. She usually doesn't care about our job." Aria apologized. It was kind of her fault cause she should have passed by to check earlier.

"You know her?"

"Yeah, her name's Spencer."

"But she's a demon. We're friends with demons?" Emily asked, felt relieve to finally voice the question in her head.

"Well, not really friends but absolutely not enemies."

"Why? Aren't they like… bad?" This just got more confused.

"Yes, they do bad things. But just like us, they work as a system. We're given good tasks while they're given bad tasks. They're just doing their job. It takes both side of good and bad to balance the world." Aria spoke gently. She loved teaching like this. In class they didn't deliver these kind of knowledge.

"So she's like you and me? Nothing's different?" Emily nodded, added one more question.

"Not like that. We do have differences, mostly about our souls. While we're capable of acknowledge goodness and feel bad for unfortunate, they're not. A bad thing is just… a bad thing for them. They don't feel bad for seeing or doing it. That's why only demons can handle those tasks and we have to stay in our lane. We can't help each other but we also don't mess with the other. It's better if we don't hang out with them too much. They can influence us and vice versa."

Aria tilted her head while looking at a quiet Emily and smiled. "Any questions?" As Emily slightly shook her head, the manager prompted. "C'mon, it's a little late. Let's get back and you can tell me what you did today."

When they finally got on the public train, Emily carefully told Aria her work. The intern answered some questions as they went on, the picture of that demon became more and more blurry in her head.

AN: Tell me what you think?
