Emily's first week passed smoothly. When she got a hang on what she was supposed to do, she could be more flexible with handling her tasks. So far, all humans were happy with her help. Not that they could send her a Thank you note or something but Emily was really pleased. She loved the smile on their faces or even just a sigh of relief.

Aria had made her job a little more excited by giving a five stars for that first week. If she could manage to get enough that, this internship could end sooner and a pair of wings would be hers in no time. She didn't really want this to end early though. Being there eight hours a day for the past week got her some friends. Well, not friend – friend but she felt kind of attached to some people. They showed up on this street regularly and Emily had learned who was who and maybe a bit of their personal life.

Like this man right there who stood next to his yellow cab. His name was Wayne and he was a taxi driver. He used to serve in the military but he had retired early to spend time with his wife, Pam, if she heard correctly. He showed up exactly eight every morning with her who worked at the building next door. At lunch, he would return to this spot and wait for her to enjoy their meals together. They looked so lovely.

Oh, that woman in a business suit who just stepped out of her car, Emily knew her too. Mrs. Hastings was the owner of this hotel. She didn't know her first name. Everyone addressed her with that tittle. It was a surprise for Emily when she found out this boss used to work in political field. She wondered what made the woman changed her job. Either ways, she was admirable. She usually spotted her with her daughter and never heard a mention of Mr. Hastings. Emily really liked Melissa, the daughter. Despite having her own car, she asked Wayne for a drive anytime she could, giving the old man some extra money every time.

Ah, and Emily's favorite just walked out. The girl who was Emily's first human turned out was also an intern as well. This amused Emily a lot more than she thought. What a coincidence when the first "customer" of an intern was also an intern. She was still busy with her own tasks and just like her, she was getting better.

Emily smiled, got a glimpse of a sad goodbye with all this. Anyways, that was far away, she should focus on her job. As she decided to snap back to reality, her favorite human needed help. This time, like the first, she needed a cab. The difference was that she had only a suitcase in her hand and getting a car wouldn't be so hard. Of course, it would be easier with a little magic. Emily pointed her finger and two cars showed up almost immediately. Grinned, she blew the invisible smoke on the tip of it and put it in like a gun.

To her surprise, a man and family jumped right in those two cabs. They drove away quickly. After a moment of shock, that girl tried to get another cab. Emily raised her brow then used her finger again to get a new car. The driver slowly drove closer but also was taken by a guy nearby in a blink. At that point, the girl's phone rang.

"Don't worry, I'll bring it there as soon as possible for you to fix it. Yes, yes, I understand the meeting can start any minute. I'm on my way."

Emily furrowed, shot the magic again. Three cars showed up then backed off for no reason.

She stood up, used her magic for the fourth time. Two cars appeared but one suddenly turned and hit the other. The men stepped out and argued, completely forgot the girl.

Emily sweated. That was strange, she didn't know what happened. This girl needed a car now, she had answered her phone for the third time with seemingly a same person. Worried, Emily looked around to find near help before getting Aria. Just as she was about to do so, she saw the familiar demon sat not so far from her, acting like she didn't see anything.

Emily glared at her.

Then at the street.

Then turned back at her again, eyes squinting.

She pointed her finger for a new car. Spencer jerked up her chin and the car drove away.

Emily tried to bring five new cars in. Spencer winked, all five cars crashed after each one, making the street stuck in traffic.

"Stop that!" She shouted.

Spencer stood up, strolling slowly to Emily's spot, folded her hands on her chest when she got there. A smirk and a challenging smile appeared on her face. "Stop what?"

"You're messing with my task."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are." Emily clenched her jaws. "She's supposed to leave twenty minutes ago. Her boss keeps yelling every time they call and while I'm trying to help her, you push away all of her cabs."

Spencer just shrugged. "Maybe she's just unlucky."

"You –"

As Emily was about to protest, the sound of someone was yelling on the street got both their attentions. A man in his forties was scouting the intern. He said something along the line that they lost the deal for a competitor and that things would have changed if she had been there on time. That was ridiculous. How did they let an intern deliver the important suitcase at the last minutes and expect her to make no mistakes? Just as Emily thought this couldn't be worse, the man snatched the suitcase from her.

"You're fired."

Emily's jaw dropped. "No."

The intern sobbed, put one hand on her mouth and used the other to wipe tears. Emily's heart sank at the scene. When the girl finally walked back to the hotel to collect her stuff, Emily turned to Spencer, a glimpse of tears appeared in her eyes. "You see what you've done?"

To her surprise, the demon was smiling, nodding satisfied at it. "Take that, human!"

Emily forgot the last time she clenched her fisted this hard. The inside of her was burning. One simple task, just one simple task but she messed it up. The intern was fired because of something she couldn't control. She lost her job, because of Emily. Emily tried hard to hold her anger in but it only build up the fire in her chest.

When Spencer turned and said, "You should thank me, little angel. I just got rid of one human for you. Less works tomorrow." Emily lost it.

She shoved the demon away, tears streamed down as she yelled.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME."

Spencer was taken aback immediately, her eyes widened. She was surprise. But strangely not by what Emily had just done to her. Being in a community where individuals were as heartless as each other made Spencer immune with this kind of treatment. Emily was expected to react that way but not in a thousand years Spencer would find herself felt… bad. Her heart twisted the moment she caught the sight of Emily's tears and when the voice hit her ears, Spencer couldn't help but feel like she should disgust with herself.

The demon stood still, was petrified. She stared at Emily then blinked and looked down, too ashamed to make eye contact. Gathered her gestures, Spencer stepped back, turned, quietly flew away.

Emily sat back on her cloud, used the sleeve to wipe her tears. Her heart was heavy. The girl felt like she was the one who was fired. She curled both her legs close to her body, put her chin on her knees and looked down at the street. When the poor human left the hotel with all her stuffs, Emily let out a small "Sorry." The picture of the demon was no longer blurry in her head.

AN: Tell me what you think?
