"Ah, sinners, the people that make the world go round. They pine for pleasure, just to block out the bad things in their lives. They drink, smoke and inject, not giving a fuck for the people who surround them. They take but don't give, fuelled by the hunger of power. They are lazy, wasteful creatures who would rather lounge all day than do something great. They are such angry beings, filled to the brim with hatred for someone or something. And if they aren't angry, they're sure as hell jealous at something or another, wishing they could have this or that."

"Lastly, they are egotistical, little shits who think they're the best thing this world has ever received. I for one, know this feeling all too well. That's why I am what I am today. You see, not everyone believes in God, the Devil, Angels and Demons...But they should. It ain't a straight path to heaven. It's twisty and hard. It's filled with angels who'll guide you and motivate you. It's also filled with people like me, who'll drag you down to the depths of hell. After all, that's what I'm made to do."

Two years ago.

"Ben, y/n, get out of bed this instant or you'll be late for your last day of school ever!". That's how you woke up, your mum screaming at you and your maternal twin . You yawned, stretching your arms above your head. Smiling slyly you approached the bed at the other side of the room, noticing Ben still fast asleep. Shaking his body, you whispered, "Good morning Ben, wake up, it's our final day of going to that rotting fest hole we call school". Ben groaned rolling over. "Benny, you gotta get uuupppppp~". Still no response. You stood up and placed your hands on your hips, thinking. Ben was lying on his back, spread like a starfish. You giggled softly as you thought of an idea. Moving closer to his body you lined your hand up with his face. Pulling back, you flung your hand down towards his cheek only for it to be caught right before it reached its final destination. Ben opened his eyes and stared at your hand and then at you. "You've got to be kidding me, how many times are you going to try to achieve this", he mentioned nodding to your hand. You didn't believe in all that 'twins are in tune with each other' bullshit so you liked to test it out whenever you could. " I'll never give up Benny, one day this hand is gonna land smack dab in the middle of that cheek," you said poking his soft face. As both of you made your way down to breakfast you began talking about your plans for tonight. After all, it's graduation day and there ain't no way your missing graduation afterparty. "Mum, Ben and I are thinking of going to that afterparty I told you about a while back, what do you think?". Your mum sighed while flipping the pancake in the pan. "I think I'll let you go, but only because Ben is going to be with you. I don't like some of those boys at your school, they give me bad vibes". You nodded in agreement. "Completely understand, but just so you know, I can handle myself, I don't need Benny here following my every move". You glanced at your brother and he smiled at you with a mouthful of pancake. "Besides, Benny has a girlfriend and I think he'd want to hang with her a bit too, don't you?". My mother nodded, considering my deal. She placed a fresh pancake down on Ben's plate, knowing he'd eat it. "Ok yeah, I agree with that, Ben needs his time too. Just remember, no alcohol, drugs and...", she pointed to Ben with stern eyes, "safe sex." Ben gave our mother his charming smile while cutting the pancake in half. "Oh mum, you didn't raise me to be 18 and pregnant." You shook your head laughing. This boy came out of the womb with you yet he got all the comedic DNA. Ben lent over the table and placed the other half of the pancake on your plate. He knew you could only ever eat one and a half, but you hated to waste food. You smiled at him thankfully and doused the pancake in maple syrup, bananas and strawberries. "Hey Mum, do you believe in Heaven and hell?" you asked. You had been reading this book lately and it was really interesting. "I don't really know sweetie, I feel like there are good and bad, but to that extent seems a bit far-fetched.". You nodded accepting her opinion. "I think that there isn't such a place as heaven and hell but more a metaphor. Good deeds and a good life surround you with people who have lived the same lifestyle and vice versa for the other end of the spectrum.". Your brother pointed at you with a gleam in his eyes, "That, is some grade A shit right there, I fully believe every word you just said." You rolled your eyes, "Stop being sarcastic Ben. Maybe if you read the book you'd change your mind."
