No one's POV:
It was a sunny morning and a young, on first look normal girl was preparing for her absolutely first day in a human school, more accurately the Shikō Academy a very prestigious school. She was quite excited. She was already in her school uniform and eating breakfast. After she ate, she prepared herself lunch to take with her. Before she went to school she grabbed her rosary, holy water, and necklace filled with a special mix of herbs to mask her angelic scent. She hid her rosary under her uniform, put on her necklace, and placed the bottle of holy water in her backpack, then she headed outside of her home and to the school.
The closer she was to the school the more full the streets were of students. After she stepped into the school's great hall she immediately felt a thick atmosphere surrounding her, together with an unpleasant scent. Demons? What would they want here? After she realized that she stopped dead in her track she began to walk into the hall. She could easily hear the whispers of other students as she walked right past them.
„Hey isn't that the new transfer student?"
„Yeah, she is."
„ She's pretty."
„ Who do think she is?"
„She better not go near the student council."
„ Yeah, she does not deserve the attention of great Ram and others."
There were only two things I wanted to escape from, attention and demons. The girl sighed and walked past the students to an information board on the wall.
She started to look at it for some information.
„You look quite lost do you need any help?" asked a female voice.
„Yes, I would appreciate that,"
She turned to see a brown-haired girl smiling at her. Behind the girl was standing a young red-haired boy and a blond girl. She felt strange energy coming from them.
„My name is Ritsuka and that's my friend Azuna and my brother Lindo," she introduced them.
„Nice to meet you all, my name is Angelica," the white-haired girl smiled.
„I am sorry for the other girls, when there is a new girl they become jealous of her, thinking that she could fall in favor of the student council," Ritsuka explained.
„ I keep on hearing about the student council, who are they?" the white-haired girl asked.
„Well they are popular boys, they have a major word in the school budget and workflow of the whole school. So they are quite powerful too. You will actually see them. In a short time, all students must go to the auditorium and hear what they need to say. Let's go we will lead you there, " answered Azuna.
The white-haired girl nodded in agreement and let others guide her to the auditorium.
After they got into the auditorium they sat down with other students. The whole room was filled with chatter and buzz. The four new friends started a discussion about the whole school.
„Oh, I forgot to tell you since you are a transfer student, you will go to the podium. It's a kind of tradition in this school to introduce new students," Azuna remembered.
„Thank you for telling me that I can prepare myself for that," she joked.
„ Silence, please!"
A voice came from the podium, and in a second the room was in complete silence and all the attention was on four males standing on the podium.
First, there was a blonde male with icy blue eyes and a cold stare, his personality was visibly cold, calm, and calculative. The second had honey-colored hair and golden eyes, he seemed seductive and sweet. The third was another blonde male with golden eyes, he seemed athletic and brute. After she saw the last member of the student council, a dark purple-haired male with blood orange eyes her heart dropped. T-That's Apollyon. So they are demons.
„Are you ok? You look pale," Ritsuka whispered.
„I am fine, just a bit nervous," the white-haired girl answered silently.
„Thank you all for coming. Today we will introduce a new transfer student from England. May Miss Ross please come to the podium?" announced the blue-eyed blonde.
The white-haired female slowly stood up and went to the podium. Just keep calm and everything will be just fine.
„Please introduce yourself," commanded the blue-eyed male.
"My name is Angelica Ross and I am from London, England. I hope we will get along. And I am grateful for this opportunity to study in this school," she said calmly with a gentle smile on her lips.
„Thank you for your introduction, after the announcement please come with us to the third library, we have some materials to give you,"
The boy spoke again and she nodded. She began to return to her seat. As she was walking past everyone, she could feel everyone's stare at her, it was unpleasant to say at least. Finally, she sat alongside her friends. She was nervous.
After the announcement, which was mainly about the school clubs, the white-haired girl went to the group of four males. They started to walk and she followed them. She was staring in front of her, to look confident and calm.
In reality, she tried to ignore the dark presence all around her that felt like it wanted to swallow her whole, any minute. After a while they ended up in a big room full of books, well obviously it was a library.
„Let us introduce ourself's. My name is Rem Kaginuki. And I am the president of the student council," said the blue-eyed boy.
All of a sudden rose appeared before the girl and with it a golden-eyed boy.
„ Urie Sogami, vice president of the student council, pleasure to meet you," he said with a smile.
Suddenly her head was yanked to face the second blonde.
„ I am Mage Nanashiro, the secretary if you ever need something just call me, babe," he said with an arrogant smirk.
„Yeah, thanks but no, I can take care of myself," she replied calmly and freed herself from his grip.
„Call an ambulance, Mage just got burnt!" laughed Urie.
„Leave her be Mage. Ignore him. I am Shiki Natsumezaka, treasurer of the student council," said the last boy.
„ I-It's a pleasure to meet you," she replied softly, a bit unnerved.
„Oh, no need to be so startled, butterfly," Urie said.
„Okay, everyone calm down. Do you mind a short chat with us?" Rem calmed things down.
„What about my lessons?" she asked quickly with the intention to leave as soon as possible.
„All the teachers know that you are here, so that isn't a problem," Rem told her.
Well, so much for that. „Well, in that case, I guess it's okay," she said calmly and sat at the table that was in the center of the whole room. The others did the same.
„Which school were you attending in England?" asked Rem.
„Art school, mainly theatre, and drawing," she answered.
„Drawing huh? In that case, you should be interested in the art club, I am a member myself!" Shiki's eyes lit up after hearing that.
„Also there will be a singing competition, singing it's part of the theatre isn't it?" asked Urie.
„It is," she answered simply.
„So will you attend?" asked Urie again.
„I think I will," she replied softly.
„Winner will be singing at the school festival. School festival is an old tradition, some students will prepare stands and sell food and other things and at the end of the day, there will be a great ball," explained Shiki.
Angelica's POV:
„That sounds like fun. But where are the materials you summoned me for?"
I stood up and asked with the intent to get finally out of there. I saw the hunger for souls in their eyes. I felt like they could burn me with their hungry stares. After that question atmosphere thickened even further, which was suffocating. I absolutely knew what was coming, so I froze in place and relaxed. Just play along. They can't know your identity. I felt a cold touch on my shoulders.
„You are quite an interesting young woman, most girls would have already felled for us, yet you are quite resistant,"
I recognized Urie's voice right next to my ear, from what I tried not to shiver. He came in front of me and leaned forward, so close that I could feel his hot breath on my cheek. He was getting closer and closer and my heart started pounding so fast. I was staring into his glowing golden eyes as everything around us darkened. Right before I received a sinful kiss from him, everything was cut down by holy light which came from the necklace and rosary. There was a moment of silence.
„So what about the materials then?" I acted as if nothing happened, they looked a bit surprised.
„Ah, yes. Here," Urie smiled and handed me a pile of books and papers.
I carefully put them in my backpack.
„Thank you, very much," I thanked them and made my way to the door.
„You are welcomed here any time you want," said Urie, I turned to them and kindly smiled, and then left the room.
A wave of relief just rushed throughout my whole body as I closed the door behind me. As if I ever going there again. I hurried to my class. When I got there I quickly and silently sat next to Lindo, and from my backpack took the book I needed and started paying attention to the lesson.
The lessons weren't bad nor hard but quite enjoyable. It was lunchtime and we were sitting together, talking and eating. It was just a simple meal but I felt special and happy.
„You were in that library for some time. What happened?" asked Azuna suddenly.
„Well, they wanted to chat with me. So that took the time," I answered.
„Are you falling for them?" Ritsuka curiously asked.
„Havens, no. I would never!" I played that in a joking tone.
„I wouldn't blame you, everyone falls for them," said Azuna.
„Even you two?" I asked with a smirk.
„No we are on the same boat as you, we have no interest," Azuna quickly answered with a smile.
„How about we change the subject, I want to participate in the conversation too," Lindo smiled.
„Ok, we can do that, how about- wait where is my book? I must have left it somewhere. Be right back," Ritsuka ran off.
„Hey Angelica, this might sound out of nowhere, but are you an exorcist? " asked Lindo suddenly.
I looked at both of them and I finally noticed they have rosaries around their necks under their uniforms like me. How could I just overlook that? Guess I just ignore that because I am so used to it.
„Yes, something like that. But how did you know?" I asked.
„I saw a bottle of holy water in your backpack when you were taking out your book," Lindo explained.
„So you know the truth about the student council?" I asked carefully.
„We only had some suspicions," answered Azuna.
„I see. Sadly, I must say your suspicions were true, they are demons. Powerful ones for that matter." I said quietly.
„How do you know?" Lindo asked.
„This isn't a place to explain something like this," I answered quietly.
„Guys, I am back, what are you talking about?" Ritsuka came to us. I gave them a look that was asking if she knows.
„We were talking about the last lesson that we have today," Lindo answered.
„Speaking about it, it starts in five minutes, we should hurry to class," Azuna said and stood up, we did the same and went together to class.
After school, we went to Ritsuka's and Lindo's place. I met their mother, she was quite a generous woman.
„So what school were you studying in England?" she asked.
„I studied at art school, " I answered.
„Lindo actually studied in England for some time, but he studied folklore," Ritsuka said cheerfully.
„I am quite fond of folklore," I said.
„What do you like to draw?" their mother asked.
„Well, mostly everything, animals, people, landscape, and other things," I answered swiftly.
„That is amazing, you must be talented, " Ritsuka wondered.
„Does anyone want some tea?" Lindo asked with a smile.
„I would like some. "
„Yeah, me too. "
„Tea would be perfect. "
„So that settles it, I will make tea for four, " Lindo left for the kitchen.
„So will you join the art club?" Ritsuka asked me.
„I might," I answered simply.
„That would be perfect, " she smiled.
„Enjoy the tea." Lindo came into the room and laid the tray with four teacups on the table.
I picked up my cup and sipped some of the tea.
„Earl Gray?" I asked.
„Of course. You really must know your tea, " he said with a little smile.
„Of course I do, " I smiled. „It's delicious."
„Yeah, she's right. "
„English people really know how to choose their tea, " I smiled at their notes.
I felt a bit weird, maybe it's because I don't belong here. Suddenly something sends shivers down my spine. Something was outside, something unholy. I looked outside and caught a glimpse of red eyes. Vampires?
„Hey, are you ok?" Ritsuka asked.
„Yes, I am sorry I just dozed off, " I turned to her with a smile.
„Ok then, I was asking you if you are here alone or did your family came too, " Ritsuka asked.
„I came alone, " I answered.
„Wow, that must be difficult, living on your own. If you ever need anything just call us we can help, " Ritsuka said.
„Thank you, but I think there won't be such a situation. But that reminds me that I have some chores to do. Thank you for your hospitality but I must get going, " I stood up.
„Feel free to come here often, " their mother said.
„Will do," I said and left.
It was getting dark and the shivering just intensified. I walked in empty streets, most people were thankfully in the safety of their homes. I felt the presence behind me, ready to strike any time. I took a turn into a sunken street, there shouldn't be any casualties and bystanders. I stopped, listening for any sound. I heard a slight breeze, that was enough to make a move.
„By the sacred name, you will obey me, o ye who lurk in darkness begone from here forevermore!" few of them turned to dust.
„So you are an exorcist, guess this will be a bit difficult."
„What do vampires want here?"
„Not your interest miss. "
„Oh I think it is, " as I said it beam of bright light from sky shot into my hand and it transformed into a sword.
„Is she an angel?"
„Specifically archangel and even more specifically archangel Michel, but that doesn't matter. In the name of God, I banish you to the darkness you once came from and never return!" I swung my sword and the rest of them turned to dust.
„Now I have to cleanse it, again, " I sighed and went to my house.
After I got inside I immediately covered every window. I made a circle of holy water in the middle of my living room and laid my blood-stained sword in the center of it. I stepped out of the circle and put my hands together.
„Telum ex Deo fluens abluere sanguis impius censetur, "
I recited with closed eyes when I opened them my sword was clean again. „Good as new, " I smiled and picked it up and let it disappear. Then I prepared dinner for myself and went to sleep.
So this is the end of the first chapter. I really hope you enjoyed it. If you find any mistakes feel free to correct me. I am just a student who writes for fun and to gain better english experience.
