The air feels a little thick, like one wrong move could send the whole world into chaos and yet, as a young girl no older than 5, I don't have a single care in the world.

"Bubble! Look what Y/n got!" I smile happily while holding up a fluffy snow-white bunny.

"Mhm."

"It hop, hop!" I giggle childishly before kissing the adorable bunny.

"That's great..." Sariel turns his head away from me, not that he was looking at me in the first place.

"Something wrong bubble?" I tilt my head and put the bunny down.

"You and the demons. Your friends with them, aren't you?" He asks, catching me off guard.

"Huh? Why bubble think that?"

"Don't play stupid with me." He says as I turn my head to see Galand.

"Lying's a sin you know!" Galand laughs. "Do you know what happens to liars?"

"They turn stone..."

"Exactly! Ha-ha!" Galand laughs as my hand starts turning into stone.

"How could you do this?" Sariel aggressively asks.

"You filthy traitor. You're no better than the impure demon clan." Mael sighs from behind me.

"Wha? No!" I whine as my arm is enveloped in stone and the faces of everyone I care about overwhelmingly crowd me.

"I can't believe you would do this, I had so much faith in you." Elizabeth turns her head away from me as I reach out to her.

"When I said do the right thing, I never meant befriend a commandment, that's just. What is wrong with you?" Gloxinia looks at me indifferently. "They're the worst of the worst, they do kill just for fun."

"I knew I was right about you." Ludociel crosses his arms before aggressively getting in my face with a scary menacing grin. "You're a worthless, pathetic, no good, sorry excuse for-" 


I quickly sit up panting, covered in a cold sweat. I look around, tears streaming down my face. I look down at my arm, it still feels weird, almost numb, but it looks normal. Must've been laying on it.

"Was... Was that just a nightmare?" I mumble before "Ah!" A knock at my door makes me shout, I quickly cover my mouth.

"...Is everything okay?" Sariel opens the door; his expression is unbothered. 

"Y-yeah, just... Just a bad dream."

"..." He sighs. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No!" I shake my head. "No, I'm good, I've already forgotten it." I smile unconvincingly, he shrugs.

"Okay... Well breakfast is ready, I suggest you get ready and eat fast, you're supposed to be training today."

"Right. Got it." I smile and nod, he shuts the door and leaves.

I'm not a traitor, I'm just... we aren't friends, I could never be friends with a demon. Right? And... And even if I was that wouldn't make me just as bad as them, right? I nod. Right.

I gather my thoughts and try to clear my head, taking a deep breath as I get dressed before heading downstairs. 

...

"Sorry about that, haha." I rub the back of my head when I find Sariel at the table. "Had a weird dream that Lulu kissed Lizzy and Mael killed everyone. Caught me off guard. But now, haha, it's kind of funny." I laugh.
