I looked at the calendar and read every event on the days. Time is very fast. Whenever you go to school on a Monday, you think, This is going to be a long week. And then all of a sudden, Friday is already there, waiting for you once you wake up.
It was just like that for my friends and me now. A good few years ago, a sequence of events happened in the final years of our grade school. Apparently we were the Virtues. I'm pretty sure a few other people just know them as the opposites of the Seven Deadly Sins, the two groups that we have to keep memorizing for the tests.
And then all of a sudden we were those guys. So, it was awkward whenever the teacher discusses the topic, with our classmates' stares and all. So basically we got into such battles with the demons (and Gabrielle and I could not understand why the two Sins we are the opposite of is one demon), got embarassment by the dear news, and then life seemed normal. Kassy and Julienne don't style their hairs in pigtails anymore, so the change of being highschoolers could already be seen.
It was in the middle of our 3rd year in high school that we were all gathered around a table during lunch. Sarah told us all about the wild turkey that was seen roaming American streets during their Thanksgiving. Kuya Neil and I were planning to visit our relatives there (Long story how they got there, don't ask), and this really was adding to my plan to stay inside wherever we were sleeping in.
We all laughed and Hermione cracked a joke about it, which almost made me spit out the water I was drinking. Friends. Then Gabrielle told us, " Remember that old violin I had during sixth grade? Do you guys think we should go look for it? Well, I already have a new one, but the one I lost just always resurfaces tp my mind."
"Sixth grade, huh." Julienne said as she continued to draw on her sketchpad. Now she was part of the "Amazing Artists even the Teacher Can't Best" squad, along with Hermione and Gabrielle. "That was the time we literally went to hell to face off some idiots who used the strangest of items to be their vessel things,"
Oh, right. As she was saying that, I began to get my memory jogging. Where would she forget her violin? Where would she forget her violin? The scenes were vivid in my mind. Then the worst place where it could ever be showed up.
"Gabrielle..." I slowly said, " I'm afraid you left your violin in... hell."
The whole group went silent, though the noisy chatter of our fellow students still filled the atmosphere. Even Julienne and Hermione stopped whatever they were drawing. "Wait, in hell?" Kassy repeated, I hesitantly nodded in confirmation.
"So, you know what we gotta do..." Delilah trailed off.
Julienne smiled and pulled out her phone, "Calling the duo in,"

"Going to hell-" I wanted to laugh but held it back in as Chera explained, "-is easy. But going back up is the challenge. You should have an absolute reason to go back, and some really powerful way to keep the door back open."
After an explanation and a walk around the school, Esmeralda and Chera agreed for us to do this insane mission. They had to speak some Latin before a grey door appeared.
"So... why do all angels have the ability to summon doors to Hell?" Delilah asked out of curiosity.
" Just in case some strange people go really chaotic," Esmeralda replied as she opened the door, " for example, that one kid wrecking havoc in Egypt."
"That's why I made sure I had a sledgehammer with me everyday," said Chera.
"And now we go to hell." Kassy announced jokingly. We all said nothing as we passed through the door. I forgot the details after our fight years ago in this place. It wasn't really that hot. Hell was very vast and the dark was so dark that you feel blind. Luckily we got things handled and we could see things clearly.
