I know it might not be a very good story, so be kind to me. :x And in this story, Mammon is a girl, since I believe she's a girl. :)

Threat Chapter One - Varia

Nellie's POV

I lay on my bed, with earphones on, listening to songs from my phone while reading a book. It had only been a week after joining Varia, and I was already tired of living. Last week, my older sister, Haley, was dragged here by Varia and she dragged me along. Haley's element was cloud, and she became the cloud guardian of Varia. I wasn't all that good at fighting, but Haley refused to leave unless they let me come along. She even told them about my ability to predict the future, similar to the Vongola tenth and the sky arcobaleno. Then they decided to bring me along anyway. My element was storm, but there was already a storm guardian, so I was just a Varia officer, but not a guardian.

We had been given a spacious room with two beds, so Haley and I shared the same room. It was awesome, really. But that stupid storm guardian of Varia had lots of complains, and said I was being a threat to him or something. He said he would always be the storm guardian, and I would always be just a peasant. What a nasty person. He even called himself a prince. His name was Belphegor, if I'm not wrong.

The other members are all quite weird, yeah. There was this commander called Squalo, and Haley said she loved him. I was like freaking out when she told me "OH MY GOD SQUALO IS SO HANDAOME~". And freaked out even more when she hugged Squalo, squealing. Of course Squalo was shouting and complaining, almost making our eardrums burst.

Every now and then Haley would go crazy about Squalo and talk non-stop about him, and every now and then Bel would criticize me or throw a random knife at me. Life was sure tiring. Squalo was avoiding Haley all the time, but he had no choice but to train with her, since she used a sword and it takes a swordsman to train a swordsman, so…

And I didn't really know how to fight, I had really bad stamina and strength, but that stupid Xanxus wanted to make me more useful so he said that I was to train with Bel, since we both have storm flames. This was worse than ever.

Now, lunch had just ended and I just went back to Haley and my room with nothing much to do. Haley had followed Squalo, chasing him all over the place. So I sat on my bed, listening songs and reading books. At least it's peaceful…oh well. Peaceful, huh. I just heard a light thud on the door. Just one sound. So what was that? Might be nothing but I'm too bored not to check it out. I walked to the door and opened it. On the other side was no one, but a silver knife was stuck to the door. Bel's knife.

"AHH! THAT STUPID FAKE PRINCE!" I shouted in frustration.

There was a note on the knife. What now? Some prank made by Bel? Anyway, I opened it. The handwriting was really ugly and stupid, as expected of the fake prince. On it was:

To the stupid peasant,

I have something important to you and you might want it back. Find the prince in his room. You better polish the knife before returning it.

What the hell? Now what did he take? I couldn't be bothered to check my room…might as well just go.

Normal POV

Nellie took the paper and the knife in her hand and walked off to the prince's room, feeling nervous. She had a feeling something bad would happen. After all, she could predict the future. Walking down the empty hallway was creepy, even if Bel's room was only a few doors away.

Nellie stopped in front of Bel's door, took a deep breath, and pushed it open. Immediately, a silver knife flew past her right cheek and stuck on the door behind her. Nellie touched the slight cut on her cheek with her hand. It must be that fake prince.

"What the heck are you doing, you idiotic fake prince!" Nellie half shouted as she glared at the tiara wearing blonde in the room.

"What did you say, peasant?" Bel said, taking out three knifes.

Nellie swallowed, but maintained an irritated look on her face. This only pleased Bel, since he enjoyed annoying her and seeing her irritated face. The rookies – Nellie, Haley, and even Flan were just his toys. He didn't care much about them, he just wanted to 'play' with them.

Bel laughed and took out a little glass swan in one hand, and a letter in the other. Nellie's eyes widened and she bit her lip.

"Th-that's… give it back, Belphegor!" Nellie cried out.

"shishishi~ What have I found, peasant? I feel tempted to read this letter."

"Don't you dare!"

"Ushishishi! What will you do? Useless peasant?"

"Bel! I'm goddamn serious. Don't. Open. It." Nellie almost screamed.

When Bel was about to open the letter, Nellie grabbed his hand and tried to pull the letter away. But Bel kicked her in the stomach and she collapsed on the floor. Nellie looked up at him with hate, almost in tears.

Bel grinned and opened the letter, making Nellie frown even more.

"Shishishi…" Bel said and started to read the letter. "Dear Nellie…"

Meanwhile, on the training grounds, Squalo was telling(or shouting) Haley to go away because he needed to train by himself. But Haley kept bugging him, saying that she wanted to train with him. Fran was at one side, staring at them with a blank face like usual. It was the young Fran, who still wore his apple hat. He chose to join Varia, and after hitting his head on the edge of a table, he regained his memory, and the Varia were no longer tooth decay fungi.

"Squalo-san! I know you're so awesome so lemme join!" Haley said.

"VOOIII! Shaddap, stupid woman! I need some time to practice my own sword skills too! Your skills are so bad that you keep irritating me!"

"Am I really that bad?" Haley said dramatically, pretending to be near tears.

Squalo sweatdropped. 'This woman could be really exaggerating.' He thought.

"VOOII! Yes you are. So leave me alone!"

"Aww Squalo how could you?" Haley said, making a cute sad face.

Squalo growled, not knowing what to say.

"I'll kill you, you trash! Leave me alone!" He said.

"But, captain," Fran said. "You can't, we would have to search for another cloud guardian. And boss would abuse you again."

"VOOII! Just leave me alone, all of you trashes!"

"Then, Squalo, at least gimme a hug." Haley said and stretched out her arms.

"Don't be crazy, stupid woman!"

Haley hugged Squalo anyway, burying her head in his chest.

"Love you, Squ-chan." She said.

"VOOOIIII! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!"

"I said I love you, Squ-chan!" Haley said, this time louder, smiling wider.

"VOOOOIIIIII! SHADDUP!"

Haley giggled and went to the side and sat down beside Flan.

"Ne, Haley-san, what's so nice about that long-haired captain?" Fran asked, feeling bored.

Haley was totally staring at Squalo while he trained.

"What do you mean, Flan? Everything about him is awesome! He so handsome, so cool, and AHHH *squeals* I love him so damn much!" Haley said.

"Ahh, just like Bel-senpai and Mammon? Ever since Mammon got his curse removed, we found out that she was a girl, and Bel have been dating her ever since." Flan said.

"Hmm…maybe? *squeals* I want to date sharky! *squeals* he's so cool and stuff…"

Fran resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and walked away, saying that he was going to eat some cookies.

Haley nodded and continued watching Squalo and daydreaming at the same time.

While these things were happening, Mammon was in her room, counting her money.

"Mu. The money has been coming well." Mammon said and carefully placed her money in her safe. Then her eyes traveled to the crimson red rose on her bedside table. That was what Bel had given her. Her mind only had money as top priority since she was born, and now she had forgotten this thing called love. She knew it was just a feeling. Feelings are nothing. Money is everything.

She felt disgusted when she saw others break down because of love. She only collected money, because it was the most important, and did not care about anything else. Bel said that he loved her, but who knows what the prince was thinking. It could be true, it could be just a joke.

She remembered the times before her curse was removed. Bel often hugged her and said she was cute. Maybe he really liked her? Mammon felt a little confused, but she refused to think about it. She probably liked Bel deep in her heart, but who knows? She knew the only thing she loved was money, nothing else.

That's right, money always came first. Love can wait. Its turn might never come, though. Mammon smirked and picked up the rose. She crushed it in her hand and threw it down the window. "It doesn't deserve to get my attention. Love doesn't." She mumbled to herself.

I know it isn't much but I'll make the next chapter nicer...I hope. :p review and tell me how was it. If you have the time. Thankyou~ :3
