Sage woke up,as usual she wished she hadn't. She was always depressed even as a young child but she was 18 now and her depression worsened. "It isn't worth it." She always had a small voice in her head telling her these things,she never really payed attention to it though, because if she did she was afraid she would listen to what the voice said. "No one loves you" when Sage heard the voice she noticed something she hadn't before, it was a manly voice like deep and raspy. "Hehe you didn't get to me yesterday,what make you think you'll get me today?" She said to the voice joking with herself the voice wouldn't respond....right? "Oh Sage,you underestimate me,I'll never give up." Sage was slightly scared but shook it off that the voice responded because it was her head she controlled this voice. "I want to see your pretty face Sage." Sage began to feel scared was this just a voice? "Who are you?" The voice laughed "oh deary, I go by many names,depression,anxiety,suicide but you can call me Axel" Sage was officially creeped out,not only did the voice respond to her,but also had a name and called her pretty." She decided That she wanted to see who this voice belonged to,big mistake. "Show yourself" she tried to act brave but her voice squeaked. "If you say so." She then felt a weird feeling in her head like something was being pulled out of her head. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and jumped forward. When she turned around she saw a tall man with black hair wearing a black dress shirt,blue jeans,and black dress shoes,she couldn't see his face because he was looking away. he then crouched on the floor and looked into the oven to see his own reflection. Axel studied his own face,pulling on his eye lids and pulling the sides of his mouth,sage giggled at his child like behavior. "What are you laughing at,I was in your head I know thousands of your weird moments." Sage then realized something "how long were you in my head?" Axel was still looking away so sage still didn't clearly see his face just his faded reflection. "how old are you again doll?" She tensed at the question. "I'm 18 years old." He stopped and was about to turn around when sage flinched. "Was I really in there for 13 years?" He seemed shocked and so was Sage. "YOU WERE W-WATCHING ME S-SINCE I W-WAS 5!?" He finally turned around and what sage saw shocked her even more. Axel was a fairly normal looking guy and kinda attractive, but his left eye was a piercing blue and his right had a scar and his eyeball was a milky white color. he saw sage's reaction to his face and laughed "calm down kid if you are gonna freak out over every little thing I say or do we are never gonna become friends. Sage began to yell "F-FRIENDS? W-WHY WOULD I B-BE FRIENDS W-WITH YOU!?" Again he laughed and shrugged "well we might as well be,you're stuck with me until they reassign me and that won't be for a long time." Sage became confused "reassign you? What does that mean?" He sighed and stood up fully he was much taller than sage first thought,in fact he towered over the girl. "Ok so basically my boss assigns us demons to random people,some when they are 30s-40s others when they are small children and I was assigned to you." Sage nodded to show she understood but still had questions. ("Who was his boss? What does he mean demons? Is he gonna kill me?") "He looked away seeming bored. "You got anything to eat kid?" She nodded and pointed towards the cabinets on the walls. He immediately walked over and pulled out a box of cheese its. "What is this? do humans really eat this?" She nodded and Axel began to open the box he took a handful of the crackers and put then in his mouth. "you like them? I don't really eat them." He swallowed the food and put the box away wiping his hands off on his shirt. "You humans eat some weird shit." Sage nodded in agreement and went over to another cabinet and pulled out a zebra cake. "try this,these are my favorite." Axel took the cake from her and took a small bite then looked down at the food and put the whole cake in his mouth. Sage laughed "is it good?" He nodded and swallowed the whole cake. Sage laughed even more when after she saw he had crumbs all over his face and on his shirt. "Joking aside its nice to meet you kid." He held out a hand and she shook it. "I don't want to be rude,but why do you keep calling me kid? You don't look that much older than me." He smiled a big toothy smile and sage noticed his teeth were sharp like knives. "That's the thing,I am WAY older than you." Sage tilted her head to the side and he...blushed? She didn't know because his face didn't turn red like a normal person's his face turned dark purple. He then looked away and sighed "I'm 18,000,000 years old." Sage's eyes were wide. She only said "o-oh c-cool." But in her head she said ("HOLY S&$T,HE IS 18,000,000 F#!%ING YEARS OLD!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!") He noticed her reaction and frowned "you ok Sage?" She looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah I'm alright,thank you Axel." Again he blushed. "So since I'm gonna be here a while where should I sleep?" Sage nodded and grabbed his hand pulling him into the hallway and into a small room with a bed and closet. He smirked to himself and walked over to the closet and sat down. he then yelled at the top of his lungs "IM HOME!!!" Sage laughed and almost fell over. "Get outta there you weirdo" he then walked over to the bed and sat down. "Well kid looks like we are gonna have a good time."
