Lucy's P.O.V.:

My dad thinks I don't pay attention to him when I get home from school. I do though. Right Estelle or Anne-Marie and I out numbered Nina in the Aziraphale and Crowley being our dads thing. She wasn't happy about it but Anne just told her where to stick it reminding her that her mom went hands off once her dad passed when she was 6. At least Aziraphale is still helping us out. Right now he and Muriel were outside talking.

I was going to play an online game on my laptop when I found a sticky note on top of it "Enjoy the new game." The note had no name just a picture of a snake. It was a hidden object game. I was still nervous about telling dad about the school talent show so I just grabbed one of my notes and wrote the date and time saying that he had to pick me up from school. I attached the note to his bookmark.

That's when I heard him and Muriel talking about two friends who just vinished. I don't think I should have heard any of it but they were guessing that the two could have been Carmen and Peter Whitlock. "Them two really?" Nina thought in our shared head I believe that she is annoyed with having to save them yet again. Estelle just told her to shush and that this could be important. So we went out to look after the plants. I did promise my Daddy after all that the plants would be well looked after. Nina knew how to handle the plants. A spray bottle for the indoor ones or ice cubes and a watering can for the ones outside. I would do my homework by the plants after Nina told me that talking to the plants helps them grow better. I had a tendency to think out loud while doing homework or just read out loud.

Muriel left and my dad went to start dinner. That's when Mrs. Smith came over.She went to talk to my dad. "Look Aziraphale, She needs more self defence classes I don't know why you pulled her out. But if her siblings come after her she'll need them." Mrs. Smith insited. I remember she could be bossy but her heart was in the right place. Yeah dad pulled me out of my self defence classes shortly after daddy died.

That Monday at school I was rehearsal for the talent show when the teacher who was running it suddenly was replaced by one who didn't like me. "You, Howell change your song you are out." The teacher demanded. I was out of songs when Nina and Anne seemed to agree to let Nina take over since her song library was large and sometimes not in English. Some of the other students must have seen the smirk on my face as I walked to a guitar.

"Got a time limit in mind? Or year for that matter ?" I asked. The teacher ignored me so I let Nina do her thing. She made sure the guitar was tuned and started playing. "This is Dream On by Aerosmith." I added. I kept playing as other kids watched then after after about 30 seconds it was time to start singing.

"Every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines on my face getting clearer. The past is gone. It went by like dusk to dawn. Isn't that the way? Everybody's got their dues in life to pay, yeah.

I know nobody knows, where it comes and where it goes. I know it's everybody's sin. You got to lose to know how to win" I sang and the teacher looked like they want to stop me but I kept playing other students seemed happy. Why this teacher hated classic rock I had no idea. I went back to singing thought before the teacher could take the guitar from me.

"Half my life's in books' written pages. Lived and learned from fools and from sages. You know it's true, all the things come back to you.

Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter and sing for tear. Sing with me, if it's just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away." I sung and went back to guitar playing thankful that this was an acoustic guitar that was plugged in since the teacher turned the amp off. But my song wasn't done yet. After some impressive playing I went back to the lyrics

"Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter and sing for the tear. Sing with me, if it's just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away." I continued the song with a bit of fancy finger work before getting to the fun part of the song.

"Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream until your dreams come true..." I sang then more fancy finger work "Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream until your dreams come true." yet again more quick fingers the other kids seemed to be watching my fingers fly across the guitar strings.

"Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on. " I got higher that time before letting out a high shout and the kids loved it the teacher how ever hated it. The song was almost over anyway. I held that high shout for a few seconds before going back to the song to finish it.

"Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter and sing for the tear. Sing with me, if it's just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away. Sing with me, sing for the year, sing for the laughter and sing for the tear. Sing with me, if it's just for today. Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away." I finished the song with some more guitar playing and the teacher looked ferious at me while the other kids looked impressed.

"You can go home miss Howell and don't show up to anymore rehearsals. A school isn't the place for that type of music. Does your Father know you listen to that." The teacher started off at me.

"Which one? And what did you want me to do sing something that you would think a girl would. I pass. One dad loves classical and the other classic rock and I think I'll stay and watch the others." I protested before taking a seat. The teacher made everyone miserable. I ended up being dragged to the office. Then suspended for a month.

When I came back I was surprised to find the kids from the talent show waiting for me. "The show got cancelled. The first teacher who had the idea got fired something about having drugs in his car and the second teacher made everyone miserable." one of them explained. I needed the change in pace that's when the new girl's gym teacher and the history teacher showed up. It was Mrs. Smith and Muriel.

"I can help with that if any of you kids are still interested." Muriel suggested. I mouthed a thank you to her. But none of the kids were interested anymore saying it was too late in the school year. It wasn't, my birthday hasn't passed yet. It was a few weeks away yet.

The teacher who got me suspended nothing happened to them. But I was now not allowed in any extra curriculars for the rest of the year. Actually I wasn't allowed to leave Special Ed. Room unless the whole class was leaving for the rest of that year. I wasn't in trouble for too long at home. Since my dad agreed that this was dumb. But I decided that I wouldn't be doing anything music related until high school. The teacher who hated me was an old man he reminded me of the man who tried to take my dad from me a few years ago.

But my special education ed did a show and tell day once and I asked if I could give them the music performance that I was going to do at the talent show that would have been. The teachers agreed since this got me out of my comfort zone. Normally for show and tell I would show what I was drawing or the buttons on my backpack. My teachers met both of my dads when I was touring the school but now they only see the one we just say that Crowley had a family emergency during teacher meetings.

Jasper's P.O.V.:

I had two students that if anything happed to me out of the blue would suspect foul play. Their names were Pepper and Brian. They have been friends for years. But now I'm attached to some sort of drug iv in both arms one is taking out my venom to go who knows where and the other one is giving me blood that is clearly tainted with something since my memories of Nina are getting twisted. It was like seeing her then a shadow of a demon next to her. She couldn't be that fuckin' stupid to befriend the devil again? But the shadow over took her and then she looks completely different.

There was also a snake at her feet before it made it's way to her shoulder. That couldn't be Nina she was scared shitless of snakes. But it was because the shirt she was wearing showed two crescent moons on her skin that made me think it was her. Then there was the burns and other scars right where she had them.

I heard a scream from nearby and I got myself free. I explored to find two others trapped here they were slightly older than I was. A guy who could pass as my older brother and a girl with a tan and auburn hair with the same waved curls as me. "Jasper? Boy are we glad to see ya. But are ya here to help us or make us wanna kill each other?" The boy asked and I tried my gift.

"It seems my gift isn't workin' so I guess I'm here to help ya." I told them and got them out. The girl first who gave me a hug then the boy. None of us wanted to bring up Nina so we didn't. I then realized we were in Italy. Over a days flight from where I was. "We were looking for you. " The guy added and I held my hand up for him to be quiet. Since there was a conversation going on that I wanted to hear. Thankfully the guy understood.

"Good Aziraphale and the demon are separated. The demon won't be a problem for years since he is in his own hell loop and Lucifer doesn't know. We also got three of the Whitlock siblings to turn on the fourth. Who knew those files and a little magic would do wonders for our cause." A voice explained and I hoped that Nina's friends would keep her safe from us. That was my last positive thought about her before I could only see her as a monster. The next thing to leave me was my free will. Once the door opened the three of us were called in. I didn't want to go in but my body obeyed. I then got on my knees to pledge my service to their cause even though I didn't know what it was and I probably didn't agree with it.

I was right I didn't agree with it. It was homophobic, racist, abelist and a list of other things all in all servivel of the fittest. Doomsday and apparently this Aziraphale and his demon friend, stopped the last doomsday. You know what good for them. I would have done the same. I want to now but my body won't listen. And if I had to guess the other two are thinking the same thing.

"And by the time she goes into college she will have no confidence." A old man told everyone in the room. I felt like shit. Since I was to make sure that she did not gain enough confidence to go against the plan ever. Until she died. Maybe I should just kill her it would be a mercy.

The three of us were dismissed and were led to rooms. There was nothing comfortable about them. The furniture was all hard and white like a hospital. I hated it the music had no verity nothing but classical. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the odd classical piece but I need verity. I challenged my students to discover more types of music and it was interesting because the kids who listened to only pop were listening classic rock, the classic rock kids were getting into pop punk and they all just started sharing their music with each other.

"So why were ya looking for me?" I asked the two in the room with me. They just face palmed telling me to look closer at them. When I did I was glad to see Carmen and Peter. We did not bring up Nina thankfully but I had an idea of where she was. We had no choice but to do as we're told for now.

"Peter what do you see any chance of us being saved in the near future ?" Carmen asked and he sighed sadly. I would take that as a no. "How long do we have to wait?" she asked again.

"Nine years at least. Aziraphale would insist on her finishing school. It won't be easy we are going to make it hard for her till college. We have to make sure she doesn't fail or give up though no matter how much we want to see that. Or she won't meet the four people she can talk to in college. They will help her with her confidence." Peter whispered so only Carmen and I could hear him. I knew when he said her he meant Nina. We are going to have to fight this control to see her graduate.

"When do we start?" I asked just as the door opened and in walked Edward. I wanted to punch him but my body again wouldn't listen. He told us where Nina was found and that we were to teach at her school next year. Carmen was going to be a gym teacher, I was going to do music, and Peter was going to be the librarian. We could do a lot of damage like this.

We spent the next few months getting ready for the job that we were being forced to do. Carmen changed all our looks several times to hide who we are. Neither of us were ready for that September. I had to pretend I hate every thing she plays even if it was correct I would have to say something mean. Peter would have to say she was too dumb for some books and Carmen will have to body shame. I know that it was 3 years since I last saw the girl we are going to make miserable but she was on the thinner side of the body scale. She looked like she would break if I held her too tight.

"Claire must be worried about us Pete since we haven't sent her an email in weeks." Carmen pointed out but he didn't care. But I wonder what would be in a hell loop for a demon. Anyway we stalled to give Nina as much time as possible.
