    My demon follows me around. Nothing stop them; not a church, scripture, or holy relic. I've tried all of those and nothing works. I even seen the pope in person and he was powerless against it. You see demon is no ordinary demon... it's Satan himself.
     He insist I am some sort of ally to him, and that I can help him. I know I am not; I am just a collage student who happens to be studying demonology. He pesters me daily. Telling me I'm going to die soon and have an amazing
opportunity with him. I guess will see.
        "Today is the day child. You will be murdered, and join me. " I sigh, I didn't need to hear that. "Whatever you say. " I feel him get angry. "You shouldn't be smart to the one who will fulfill your desires. " Don't talk to him stupid.
       "Samuel?" I snap my head up to see my professor. "Yeah? What is it?" The professor looked at me happily. " You aced the test. Are you sure you shouldn't be the one teaching?" He laughs and walks away. If  only knew who would shout at me if I circled the wrong thing. "I hope you are ready boy, you're death will be on a second and it will be painful. " As if on cue a guy came around the corner and shot me in the abdomen. I felt the pain spread across my entire body and watched my life slowly fade away.
       When I woke, Satan was standing beside me. " I told you Samuel. Murdered all because a junkie wanted a few bucks for a fix. Your own angel didn't even help you." Ok so now I know two things. One I am in hell, two I was killed because I had $53 on me and someone needed a fix. "Ok, I am in hell. Why am I not burning or being tormented?" He looked at me in disgust. "We are in hell yes, but that does not mean we burn or torture people. Here we are one family, all with one goal. To take back what was stripped from us. To take what is ours." I hear every demon around him scream in agreement. "Ok, so what does that make me?" He smiles as if he had been waiting for years to answer that question. "I have been following you for years. You are one of m many are angels. Only you were born a human. So I had to follow you and make sure your power would not be taken from you. The Angels on God's side didn't know you were mine, so they assigned a guardian angel to watch you; as they do wit all humans. To my luck he was lazy and not so bright. He never caught on to you or I so, you are here to be an advisor to my army and help me make plans." That was a lot to take in all of a sudden. Me an angel? Before I ask he spoke again. "Malphas will be your personal trainer. He will show you how to bring forth your wings, draw out your power, and become what I know you can be." Malphas steps forward, giving a quick bow before speaking. "As your tutor you should know we only require rest when injured. I will work you hard and you will take a lot of damage before you get the hang of things. Although once you awaken your power will be stronger than I." I looked at Satan as he looked me over. "You can have today to rest. Tomorrow will be hell." He smirked at that. I was lead to the room of my dreams. Best bed, silk sheets, cabin like interior, all of it. I laid down to rest, for tomorrow will be tough.
