you had me at hell..

The loud man banged on the cell, "Hey, play nice Jaxon." This guy, who's name is apparently Jaxon, snickered to himself and nodded his head. "Come one old man, what's fun in playing nice when we could easily be bad." another guy said with a slight smirk on his face. "Stop it Ace and instead tell those youngsters how the life of a fallen is." The loud guy boomed between the walls of this small room. The guy raised his eyebrows but pushed himself off of the wall he leaning on and started with the story, "The life of a fallen eh? It's pretty nice until you get caught that is." I could faintly see his ear piercings, there was two in one ear and three in the other. I  subconsciously my earlobes, i was never allowed ear piercings but i do think they look pretty on some people. "But the best fucking part is hell, i personally haven't been there but a few of my buddies who have turned full demon have told me stories." He was shut up with a slap to the back of his head delivered by a girl with short black hair. "Shut up you dweeb. You know nothing of hell and it's ruler." The guy gave the girl a hard look, "And you know better?" The girl raised a brow and nodded. I couldn't help but think why is everyone so good at raising their eyebrows? Is it a fallen thing? Scraping of a chair across the room caught my attention, "Hell eh?" a girl's low voice asked and a few people at the front dared to nod. "Hell is his kingdom, devil's. I've heard that before devil was born life in hell was much different, calmer and happier even. Devil has no emotions, none. He cares for no one expect himself. So remember that for when your poor souls will be in enough trouble to meet him. No matter how much you beg, once you've met devil you either die or become his slave. No third option." The girl's voice went harsher on last three words making the students step back from fear. Even the loud man looked afraid. But he recovered fast since his booming voice was announcing that it was lunch time no later than 5 seconds. And like that the mass of students escaped to the lunch room just as being here, in the room with the fallen, would suffocate them faster than drowning ever could. I followed Ab's lead as she bounced towards the lunch hall only to come face to face with her back. I rubbed my poor nose and demanded "Ab? I need food in my stomach, what are you doing?" She only turned around and smiled like a crazy genius, "We are gonna hang out with the fallen." I froze, my eyes went bigger than the plates at the lunch room yet she only gripped my wrist and dragged me back to the cells. Her face was beaming with happiness and she made it known to other by shouting "Hello!" Please god if you're there, kill me, i thought to myself. A low wolf whistle echoed through the walls as the guy with ear piercings stepped forward, "Hey guys, we have snacks." Abigail smiled brighter and kept up her positive attitude while I was writing my will in my mind. He said we're gonna be snacks, save me god please. "Omg, you guys are so cool." Abigail squealed like a little school girl. "I can make you scream louder if you want." A voice said from the back of the cell and it made Abigail's cheeks turn red. Cue the laughter, "Awh guys, she's so cute, look at her, ca we keep her?" Another guy announced while comping to pinch Abigail's cheeks through the cells. I eyed my ballerina flats, wishing to be invisible but as always, we don't get what we wish for. "Hey, babe, you want to bang?" My head came up, eyes big and heart beating rapidly. "Excuse me." I said to the guy in barely a whisper. "Sorry good girl, can't hear you." The guy answered back. I was taken back. I am not a good girl, just an average angel. I chose not to say anything else to him which turned out to be a mistake. "I bet you're a total freak in bed." The guy announced again and i heard her feet coming closer to the cell. "Just a total animal, a moaning mess." His words made me feel sick. How could he think of me like that? "Well i'm sorry I was thought to act polite and kind towards people. Didn't your parents teach you any manners?" I hoped my voice sounded confident even as it shook a bit. The guy just snickered "My parents were eaten by demons, sweetheart." Taken back by the answer I was looking for words to apologize when he reported "So in revenge, I killed the demon." No words. I was utterly disgusted with these beasts. To take someone's life? How could they, I understand that it was a demon and it was revenge. But my heart felt heavy for the lives lost. Abigail, sensing my uncomfort, took ahold of my wrist and led me to the lunch room. "They're evil." I whispered, mostly to myself but i felt Abigail nod next to me. "Why else would they be fallen." She mentioned the obvious thing. She moved us to the back of the line, rubbing circles on my hand which were not helping me to calm. "Let's talk about something else shall we?" she asked my stone figure and without waiting for my answer she mentioned, "Ready to go down tomorrow?" Right, I had forgotten about that. I gave her a half confused nod knowing she won't let me skip this one. Down is what we call the humans world. We can take trips there when ever we wish unless you have some troubles with the elders. But once you have troubles with the elders you can count yourself to the fallen list and the rules clearly state that once you're a fallen you can't enter heaven. And rules must be followed, I mean they were made for a reason after all.
