I entered the pit and looked to see Mr. Riggle standing there. "Look Ethan there can only be one guardian to pass this year. You see no two guardians can come at the same time so you have to either die or kill that boy." With that he told us to fight. Before I saw what was happening the guy before me hit me and I fell to the dusty ground. I tasted copper and iron and dirt. It was my blood and he dirt in my mouth.

I spit it out and stood up. He hit me in the face and this time I fell on my ass. I stood up and got hit again. I saw Flee and Shawn in the stage looking worried. I saw Angel who just wouldn't look at the scene. I stood up and before he could hit me I ducked and I tripped him. He fell to the ground. He stood up and I hit him and he fell to the ground again. He stood up and hit me in the stomach I fell to the ground. He got on top of me and started to beat me in the face. I started to bleed and I couldn't see as good as with blood. When his beating let up I whipped the blood from my face and hit him off me. We both stood up and I hit him once more and he fell for good this time. I was exasted and I whipped blood from my face and looked at the guy breathing heavily on the ground. Mr. Riggle handed me a blade to finish it but I didn't take it.

"Ethan!" He said warningly and I turned to see the archangels watching us. I saw Azriel looking at me with anger.

"I'm not killing him." I said loudly so everyone heard me. The room that was once loud and crazy was now speachless and quiet.

"Ethan finish him." I didn't take the blade.

"I said no. I'm not a killer. You guys may make up these stupid rules, but I'm telling you that I will not kill anyone. I am not a killer and you can kick me out of the academy for not killing someone who doesn't diserve to die again. So there. I won't kill him." I walked out of the areana and headed to the exit. I was stopped by Azriel, but I pushed past him.

"Ethan!" He said warningly and I turned around.

"People say were a lot alike Azriel, but we aren't. You may be quiet and antisocial like me, but unlike you I will never kill anyone unless I had no other choice."

"You had no other choice."

"Really then why am I walking away. Look you can hate me, you can be mad at me, hell you can even drop me as your student, but you can never make me kill. Not for you, not for them, not for anyone. So just shut up and leave me alone Azriel. As my teacher you should have told me about this, but you didn't. If you told me about it I would probly not show up. Your the worst teacher ever."

I knew what I said was harsh but I was done. People lied to me all my life and now the one person I trusted most lied to me. "You know Azriel you said you looked into my past right? Well did you know my father died. My mom told me he left us. She killed him on my 6th birthday. I was 6 Azriel. My mom said she was normal she was insane. My dad said he cared but all he would do was beat me. When I said I was use to getting hurt I wasn't laying. You lied to me Azriel. My whole life everyone lied to me. Then the one person I trust lied to me. I thought I could trust you Azriel, but I can see that I was wrong."

I stepped away and headed out to my safe place... Earth. I flew done to Earth leaving Flee with Shawn. I was sitting in a cemetrary. My cemetary. I was sitting by my grave and tracing over my name.

"Look Ethan I'm sorry." I looked up to see no other than Azriel. He had his dark cloak on with his scythe and pale skin. I looked away and went back to trace my name. "Look I did lie I didn't tell you about the torument because I thought you couldn't handel it."

"Fuck you Azriel. You don't think I can handel shit. You talk about what you think of me to everyone, but me. Ya like you know me at all." I just went back to my tracing.

"Look Ethan you can hate me all you want, but I did it to protect you. I am proud of you Ethan. You past my test. I wanted you to stand up for what you believe in no matter what everyone says and you did. I'm not taking you off as my student you now have level one of being a guardian. If you want to countue my teaching with you I would be honored, but if you don't want to be my student any more I could understand. I know you more than you think Ethan" He walked off and left me alone.

I pulled my legs to me and held them to me. I let the tears run down my face. Azriel words repeated in my head. I know you more than you think Ethan. He was wrong he didn't know me at all. I walked to my old house and looked at my mom drinking again. I sighed and flew up to heaven. I found Shawn waiting for me.

"Hey bro. Azriel was worried about you. Look you should talk to him I can tell he feels bad. Azriel isn't one to feel bad, but for him to feel bad must mean a big bunch." I nodded. I took Flee and went up stairs to my room ignoring Azriel. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.
