Enigma

Abnormal Time

Shinsou looked at his phone to see if any of their classmates had realized they had disappeared for well over two hours now and looked down to realize it had only been "It's only been 20 minutes!?"

Celeste looked at the confused boy and burst out laughing.

"I knew I forgot to tell you something! This is the Bermuda Triangle, so things here work a lot weirder than they seem, example, time moves slower here. So we'll hopefully be present for school tomorrow still." She said with a smile.

"Greeeeat." He groaned.

Celeste laughed and pulled back the curtain of her room.

"Come here, this is my home." She said motioning for him to follow her onto the balcony.

They stepped out and peered over the large province that surrounded them.

"What's that?" Shinsou asked, pointing to a large empty territory with no buildings that stretched for miles.

"That's battle territory, I had that built after my parents passed, so no innocent people would be caught up in the fighting. They may be the opposition, but they don't want innocent people to be hurt either. That's why the fact the outside help they're getting is concerning, they destroyed a province. Battles are only permitted on said battle grounds by a pact made by both sides."

Celeste looked over the houses and buildings solemnly and Shinsou put a hand on her shoulder.

"We should get changed." He said.

"Y-yea. Come on, I'll show you to your room."

"No! I mean- Aizawa told me to stay with you at all times so... we should probably stay in the same room."

Celeste looked at him and blushed. "Y-yea, ok."

The two teens blushed and turned away from each other as they changed into their gear. As soon as Celeste had finished adjusting the lace of her combat boots, the door opened to reveal a woman.

"Auntie!" Celeste cried hugging the kind looking lady.

"Celeste! I missed you so much! Oh my! And who is this?" She beckoned towards Shinsou.

"This is Shinsou, a classmate from U.A." she explained with a small tint on her cheeks.

"Ooohhh I see, I am Queen Layla but you may just call me auntie." She turned back to her niece and spoke. "My dear, you should know that there was an opposition fighter spotted in the village just now. I feel as if it's time you go." Her aunt said, her face falling from it's previously cheerful smile.

Celeste's face fell and became serious. "I'm on it. Come on Toshi." She said walking out. Shinsou gave the woman a small bow before chasing behind the girl.

"Here." She held out a cloak to him and raised his hood. "Be careful and try not to take this off. They won't take kindly to outsiders. Which is why...hidden angel"

Celeste's halo and wings melted away as her eyes turned red again. Her hair changed to a pitch black, with her red horns sticking out. Her white wings were replaced with withered black ones and her long succubus tail curled slightly at the end.

"Why did you do that?" Shinsou asked her, slightly concerned.

"They know what I look like, I'm a princess. But, this is how I stay normal here, even if it's... " she reached where her white wings were originally "-kinda painful. Come on." Celeste said, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards a secluded room. She shut the door and adjusted her outfit which was a black jumpsuit with a slit at the chest and combat boots. The girl tied up her hair and pulled back her bangs with two bobby pins.

"You ready?" She asked him, snapping her fingers and opening a crack.

"Yea." Shinsou replied, jumping in after her.
