Chapter One
She was born with a fire in her blazing green eyes, her lips were a light shade of pink, her nose small and dainty and her hair was the purest shade of white that you would ever see.
She was born the night of true rebellion; Lucifer had been banished for many a moon and now in his arms lies his daughter. Born the day he was banished. Born from a fallen angel and a human.
Her name Katrina Elizabeth Mikaela Morningstar or as her father and mother call her Angel.
"Hey! Mai-chan!" The young white-haired girl called out, her emerald green eyes shining brightly at the young brunette that stood not too far waiting for her at the school gates. Her first friend she had ever made smiled even brighter seeing her standing just down the street.
"Angel-chan!" Mai cried, running over to her friend with joy. The pair collided in a massive hug. The pair had always been inseparable, neither letting the other leave. The pair had even gotten to the point of staying at each other's places and had a key to the others home.
Lucifer himself cared deeply about Mai as she was the only human who had been kind to his daughter. He had even taken it upon himself to look after her, if Mai needed food, he would get a weeks' worth of grocery's delivered to her home, if she needed a phone, he would buy her one and if she needed to have a doctor's visit himself or his wife would go with her. Angel was a beautiful girl, and some would say too beautiful almost supernaturally beautiful. But Mai saw through all Angel's beauty and saw the kind sweet girl. That is why Lucifer cared for her, she helped him to see why humans were good.
Mai even knew what Angel was. A Nephilim. A half human and half angel, but Mai gave little thought to that. She just saw Angel as her friend. "Are you excited for the spooky stories this afternoon?" Mai questioned her friend as they begun to walk towards their school.
"I can't wait!" Angel cried, excitement in her voice and her eyes lighting up even more. Angel always loved talking about ghosts and demons, considering who her father is. Angel had always had a calling when it came to ghosts, she was able to help them cross over, sense ghosts, protect others from attacks and she was able to move objects or even the ghosts themselves.
"You always have the best stories Angel, I bet it is because of pops!" Mai giggled causing her friend to laugh as well. "Eh! But isn't it a bad idea to talk about his stories?" Mai questioned.
"No, as long as we don't do any of the summoning spells," Angel stated thoughtfully. "But don't worry this is one mama told me."
"Hers are even more scary!" Mai cried thinking about the last story she was told by the woman herself. Utau-san has very scary stories to tell.
"Eh! But I thought you liked her stories!" Angel cried.
"Well yeah!" Mai called out. "Just not in the dark or when we are doing the lights and counting to see if someone is with us." Mai whispered. Angel placed her hand over her mouth and giggled at her friends despair.
"Well, don't worry I asked mama for a calmer less horrifying story," Angel said as she and Mai made it to their classroom. And just as the pair had walked into their classroom and sat down in their assigned seats and the heavens started to pour down.
April
Thursday
*Angel's POV*
Sitting in the darkened classroom, I had just finished telling the scary story my mother had told me last Friday. All three of my friends, stared at me with horror, now I don't believe it was that terrifying, but they did. Now my friends. Michiru and Keiko were listening to Mai tell us her spooky story.
"And then, the woman led the policeman through the hallway to the restroom in the back, once there the policemen told her to go back inside to see if she could hear the voices again," Mai said, my friends looked scared as I leaned in smirking excited. "You want me to cover you with a red coat?" Mai said in a deep voice. "She answered 'Yes' and then." Mai whispered before screaming scaring the others. "The policemen burst through the door to find the woman covered in blood as if she had a red coat draped over her."
Michiru was the first to speak staring at Mai, while Keiko held her tightly. "Mai you know we don't like when you use that creepy voice."
"Oh come on it wasn't that scary." I said giggling. "I still think you all hate me for my story," after I said that the pair looked to me and nodded agreeing mine was worse.
'That day was like any other. Staying late after school, my friends and I were telling ghost stories. Every time we finish a ghost story, we turn off a light and we're done, there's always one light left which means there's another person in the room.'
"You're up next Michiru," Mai said.
'And the other person is supposedly a ghost. Complete lie, I personally believe, it's just a silly game that does nothing, but telling scary stories, that's the fun.'
"Okay this one is about the old schoolhouse," Michiru said, in a soft tone, this catches my utmost attention, I was always curious of what everyone believed of the old schoolhouse. They all believed it was haunted. I cared little for the place since it wasn't haunted. But I like to hear the stories.
"You mean that creepy old building down the street that's collapsing?" Keiko questioned. Michiru nods.
"It's not collapsing. It was being demolished when all the workers suddenly quit because of the curse." She started before continue keeping her eyes locked ahead. "Lots of people have died in the schoolhouse, famously a teacher committed suicide there. So when they decided to build the new school, they had to tear down the old one, sadly some of the workers were hurt. Demolition ended that day." She whispered. "Last year they started demolition again to make way for a new gymnasium, but a truck driving by lost control and crashed into a group of kids outside, killing some of the students."
Keiko and Mai gasp in shock. I myself was frowning, thinking these rumours have severely become out of control. I rolled my eyes. "There's more. I heard about this from an upperclassmen." She started. "One night a student was walking past the old school and she looked up seeing in the window she saw a ghostly figure of a man, and he had suddenly vanished into thin air." She finished before turning her light off. "Here goes. One." Michiru starts.
"Two," Keiko whispers, scared.
"Three," Mai whispers.
"Four," I say louder than the three that sit with me.
"Five," A deep voice says startling everyone but myself, as I had seen the boy before he spoke. The three girls scream in fear clinging on to me as I sigh in annoyance. Then the light flicks on starling everyone.
"The ghost! He's here to murder us!" Michiru screams clinging onto me tighter. Before she gets up ready to run, only to see the young man there. "Oh, please tell me that was you just now?" She asks fear evident in her voice.
"Am I interrupting?" The young man asks.
"I thought for sure it was the ghost," Keiko says sighing the other two joining her as well, while I simply straighten my uniform after they had crinkled it badly.
"Sorry, I didn't expect anyone to be here. But then I heard your voice and I couldn't help myself," He said with a soft smile on his face.
Keiko and Michiru are instantly surrounding the poor young man with bright smile. "No it's totally fine." Keiko said as the pair get up and go over to him.
"What year are you?" Michiru asked as the girls smiled to the young man.
"I'm seventeen this year." He answered.
'Hey, normally someone would say their a senior yeah?' I thought to Mai who looked to me nodding.
"We were just telling ghost stories." Michiru said as both the girls had blushes on their faces.
"I see well maybe I could join you guys sometime?" He questioned keeping his smile on his face.
"Really?" Keiko questioned, looking extremely delighted. "You mean that you like telling ghost stories too?" She stated smiling.
"Yeah," He answered, causing our friends to giggle uncontrollably.
"You seem like a really cool guy, what's your name?" Michiru questioned, her smile still plastered on her face as both Mai and I walked over to them.
"My name is Kazuya," He said with a soft smile. 'His eyes, they're not smiling.'
"Okay Kazuya, I have one question why are you here?" Mai asked the obvious question between the pair of us.
"There are some things I need to take care of." He answered.
"What are you waiting for?" Mai questioned barely interested in continuing to talk to him.
'Mai be nice.' I thought to her as I watched our two friends run after Kazuya.
"Do you need our help for anything?" Michiru asked as they giggled. 'I'm confused on why they are so transfixed with this boy,' I thought to Mai as she sweat dropped watching the girls.
'Neither do I,' she thought back giving me a look.
"No, but I would love to be invited to join you the next time you tell ghost stories," Kazuya stated smiling at the girls in front of him.
'He seems like the type that doesn't want to be fawned over, what are you hiding?' I thought to myself, my green eyes watching him.
"Of course!" Keiko exclaimed, excitement in her voice.
"You're welcome anytime!" Michiru agreed.
"How about tomorrow after school?" Keiko asked.
"Okay but where?" Kazuya asked.
"Right here," Keiko giggled.
'Something's fishy about him. I better get to the bottom of this.' I heard Mai think.
I looked to her seeing the determination on her face before turning my eyes back to Kazuya, who looked to be looking at myself. I smiled softly to him before turning to Mai. "We should get going, papa said he would be outside waiting at this time." I said smiling to my dear friend.
"Ah yeah," Mai said before grabbing our bags. "See you two tomorrow!" Mai called as we left the classroom and headed outside.
