ANGELS AND DEVILS (JenLisa)

Prologue

"You're unbelievable," she proclaimed. "You have been roaming around the Earth for centuries, Lisa, and it's time to go back. You have to understand that!"

"You have to understand that!" I copied her tone while imitating her face. "I have been roaming hell since birth, Chaeyoung, SINCE BIRTH. You know what SINCE BIRTH means to me? That's EVER SINCE. Since the beginning of life, Chaeng. I was the same age as the first tree on this planet. I was older than Adam, Chaeyoung, and you're like what? You were born just 2000 years ago, Chaeng, you were Jesus' playmate right? That's why YOU have to understand."

Is taking a short vacation something so bad? For her, it's been so long, but for me, it's just two weeks. I've been running around the world, and I've witnessed all the fun throughout all the wars. I watched Burma turn into Thailand, and I have been living here for 63 years now, and she found me again. I guess Chaeyoung's nagging is the payment for all the fun I'm having in this place.

"But Lalisa, that place is where you are supposed to be. That's where he wants you to be..." Her voice is calm now. Maybe she got my point already. Too bad, I don't care.

"I don't care, Chaeng. I don't. Please leave me alone." It's been so long since I felt like this. I'm hiding from Chaeng because her nature is to hunt me. He wants her to send me back to hell.

How cruel is that? My best friend hunts me and she has no choice.

"I want you to have fun, Lis, out of all people you know I want that to happen for you. But it's too much. You have to do what you have to do."

"Come on, Chaeng, you still don't understand." I turned to her. "Your nature is to hunt humanes who create chaos. My nature is to create chaos. We're the nemesis of each other and the least you can do for yourself is leave me the fuck alone. Sorry, Chae, I love you but fuck it, I am so done. There's no worse place than hell so what am I afraid of? Please, just stop hunting me and hunt someone else deserving your time."

I almost regretted every word that came out of my mouth but it's too late. One of the million lessons I learned from living for 3 billion years and still counting is that regret is a stupid thing to feel. What's done is done.

Chaeyoung slowly rested her back on the car hood, looking away from me. The silence is not good, it's awkward actually. The only sound I can hear is the chirping of birds, and not to mention, the moon is making it awkward too. He's laughing at me for being a sucker for words.

What can I do? Chaeng and I, we used to have fun together until that dick of a God realized he needed to turn her back at me.

"Fine," she said. "I'll leave you, but not alone. You're still my number one mission, Lis, and I hope the next time we meet, you'll make it easy for your friend."

"As if," I smirked. "I am not a devil if I don't make it hard for people, especially a hunter angel? We're nemesisters, remember?"

"Enjoy your remaining time on Earth, bitch. See you around."

"You'll see me. I won't."

She smiled defeatedly before vanishing. Guess who won the fight again? God wouldn't be Godding, especially if he's dealing with a devil like me.

Being a high rank devil is not easy. Well, it is, but it's boring. It's more fun on Earth, more evil people. It's a 20/80 ratio, actually, the good/bad ratio. There are more bad people here than in hell. It's so fun. Though I sometimes imagine punching Hitler in the face in hell, but that's a story for another time.

I am going back, okay? I'll go back to hell to punch Hitler and eat dinner with my cats. I miss it there too, but other than punishing evil spirits, there's nothing else to do there so I'll stay here for another 2 weeks. That means another 700 years.

Chaeng is gone. It's time to go home now. I entered my car and turned on the engine. This cliff will be missed, my favorite fucking place. But I have to run away again or Chaeng will hunt me in my sleep.

Looking at the passenger seat, a smile was drawn to my lips. I'll surely miss this girl.

"Goodbye, darling, you may forget about me and continue your life."
