Next chappie. Enjoy!


" So let me get this straight. "

Dash began, placing his tentacle like hand on his hips.

" You brought a lousy stinking fleshie to scare school? "

Jack placed a hand on his face, swiping it down in obvious irritation. He had been trying to explain this for 3 HOURS now. What about this was so hard for this stupid monster to grasp?!

The group of two had no other choice than to bring Merek to scare school. It was the only place in the entire world they could go to keep the fallen angel safe. They didn't have to worry about the angel making a fool of himself in front of any other humans, and this way they could keep an eye on him. So he didn't get hurt while he was being strange.

Jack went to explain it again, for the BILLIONTH time, when he suddenly heard one of the little monsters yelp. Turning, he found that Merek was actually hugging that werewolf child… Wolfie, he believed. Momentarily panicking, Jack rushed over and pulled the child out of the man's arms, quickly putting him down.

" No Merek. "

Jack scolded softly.

" We do not hug the horrifying students.

" Aw, but he's so cute and FLUFFY! "

Merek whined, roughly petting the werewolf's head. Wolfie whined a bit, to terrified to walk away. Jack sighed, deciding to not argue against the child's apparent cuteness.

" Yes he is. But if you want to stay here, you must behave yourself, and NOT pet the students. "

The man in the trench coat made a face before finally letting the werewolf go, crossing his arms like a child.

" You're NO fun! "

Jack sighed, beginning to grow tiresome of the angels childish behavior. Seriously, even MOSSHEAD was more mature than this! And that was SAYING something!

Redirecting his attention to the headmasters, the demon tried to make himself appear serious. He needed them to say yes to letting Merek stay here. The fallen angel had no where else to go. If he were to stay in Deedstown he'd be homeless. And he doubted Jimmy's dad Mr. Bradley would help a demon. Even IF it was for a fallen angel. Besides, Merek would probably be too much for them to handle. ' Maybe even too much for ME to handle... '

" Sirs, please, he's a dear-eh-companion. "

He reasoned, avoiding using the word "friend". The headmasters would frown on this severely, and he needed them on his side.

" Hell, in someways he's a blood brother. I promise I'll try my best to keep him out of trouble. "

Just then there was the sound of something clinking onto the ground, and everybody had to turn around to find the source of the sound. Turns out, Merek had pulled down a set of curtains. He had his hand near his mouth, his index finger pressed gently to his lower lip. He kinda looked like an innocent little kid who just realized he was going to get in trouble.

Sighing, Jack summoned a shadow hand to pick up the metal pole and set it back into place. ' At least it was an easy fix... '

" Jack, while I respect your loyalty to your BROTHER, "

Dash began, raising his head to appear superior to the demon.

" I am afraid he's just to... to... "

" Chaotic? "

" Eh, thank you. "

Jack was beginning to feel defeated. It seemed as if the headmaster's were DEAD set on keeping Merek out of scare school. Taking a deep breath, the demon tried again.

" But sirs, he's going to get in trouble if he stays anywhere else. "

" And he wouldn't get in trouble here? "

A deep, LOUD groan of obvious impatience could be heard coming from the left side of the room, and the twin headed creature turned to find that it had come from Fatch, who looked like he wanted to punch someone.

" If you let him stay here, "

He started in a monotone, starting to dig into his pocket.

" I will pay you... $10,000 for everyday he's here. "

Low murmurs could be heard amongst the students, and the headmasters looked absolutely surprised at the offer the prince had made them.

" Do we have a deal or not? "

Alder and Dash looked at each other briefly before bowing slightly in front oft he prince.

" Oh yes of course your highness! "

Alder praised.

" That is so generous! We appreciate it immensely! "

Dash added, the dual headed creature backing away slowly. Fatch smirked slightly, crossing his arms and turned towards Jack, whose jaw was slack and obviously shocked.

" You just gotta learn how to speak their language man. Then they're just suckers. "

" Yeah, well, not everybody's rich dude. "

Jack retorted, smiling brightly. Turning towards Casper, Mantha, Ra and Thatch, he smiled weakly at what he was about to ask them. This was not supposed to be their headache he knew, but he also knew he couldn't take care of Merek alone. Especially since the angel was now clinging to his wife Vivianna. The shadow woman's face was transfixed into a scowl, trying to remove the legs that clung around her waist.

Jack tried to refocus on the children, and cleared his throat.

" I'm sorry, but could you all help me watch Merek? "

Mantha's dropped, clearly not happy with the idea.

" But I thought you were going to do that! "

" I am. But I am going to need a bit of help. I will make it worth your while! "

" How? "

" No homework for the rest of the school year, and you'll all pass no mater what. "

Low whispers could be heard spreading throughout the tiny group, and Jack knew he got them. Once he had their attention, he continued.

" Good. Now, we'll take turn by days. In this order, it will go: Casper, Mantha, Ra, Thatch, me. As for Fatch, "

He said, turning to the prince, who was tugging his cape away from the ditzy angel.

" I'd like you to try to find a spell that might turn Merek back to an angel. "

Fatch groaned, obviously not happy with the idea.

" Yay, books. "

Jack laughed a bit.

" Yeah, I know it sucks, but you read faster than everybody. That, and you'll probably be the only one who can cast it. "

" Mmm, true. "

" Then it's settled. "

Jack concluded with a soft clap of his hands.

" For now, let's all head to bed. We're gonna have our hands full taking care of our fallen friend. "

Turning to Merek, he pat his shoulder.

" Come on Merek. It's bed time. "

" NO! "

Merek squealed, running away from the demon.

" I DON'T WANNA! "

Sighing for the umpteenth time that day, Jack took off in pursuit of the fallen ditz.


For the next few chapters, the title will be the caretakers name, and they will all happen in one day. Example: day 1, Casper's day with Merek. Day 2, Mantha's day with Merek. Hope this makes sense.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed! Bonsoir!
