*Ruby's POV*

I'm sitting in my room with my roommates. Yeah, Hell has rooms for demons, shockers. The demons are separated in different categories tho. There are tortures, hunters, guards and a few more I can't be bothered to name.

I was sitting at my desk, doodling some random stuff. I am a hunter demon. It's the rarest when we have a mission to go get someone so we're mostly bored and have nothing to do. When one demon goes to earth to hunt someone then it's allowed for its friends to come with it. Sometimes it's so empty we even have to torture some souls in hell cause they're short on torture demons.

A paper ball hit my head. I groaned and turned to Amethyst who was the only one in the room with me at the moment. "What?"

"Aww, one of the best demons is mad~" she stuck her tongue out and I rolled my eyes, turning back and continued to doodle. I have no idea what it was but there were flames and a human soul burning. But I was flattered by that 'one of the best demons'. I mean, I surely am one of Devil's favourites.

There was a knock on the heavy iron door and it swung open. There was standing The Devil's assistant. She is like the second Devil.

"Ruby, the office." Was all she said and left. Ooh, that's gonna be fun.

"Mm, someone's in trouble." Amethyst grinned. I stuck my tongue out at her. "Yeah, or finally getting out of the hellhole and not taking you with me," I smirked, getting up.

She gasped. "No, no, no, no! I'm not sorry but you'll forgive me anyway, right?"

I laughed. "I'll think about it." I walked out and ran to the office. That's what we call Devil's room. He's just sitting there on his throne and watched over everything. I was there in two seconds. I knocked on the huge door and pushed it open, going in and closing it.

"Greetings, Lord, what's the reason for my summoning?" I spoke, looking up. I've met him many times before. Some would be scared and anxious. I have no problem. He likes it. I'm not a scaredy-cat.

"Ruby, I'm not sure if you know. But 17 years and five months ago God decided that he needs a half-human angel on the Earth. So he sends some angel to bless this mother and blah blah blah, there's this girl you need to get. I have no idea what is his plan with her but as soon as she turns 18, she gets her powers. Wings, everything. And we don't need that kind of protector on that little planet. " He said, getting up.
"So, I need you to go there, find her, do whatever you do when you go hunting people or escaped souls, whatever, I just want her here. It doesn't matter what way. I need her here before September 7th. Remember, she has a guardian angel watching over her, too. The angel has masked by shapeshifting into one of them and is probably her best friend or something. Anyway, deal? "

I nodded. "Deal."

"Oh, before you go-" he threw a folder with papers that were on the girl at me and I caught it. "Thank you," I say and walk out. I sprint back to my room. I was there in a second. "Amethyst."

She sat up, looking at me. "You're in trouble?"

"No! Come on, we're visiting Earth." I say, taking a bag with some human supplies so I'd blend in.

"Ooo, another stuck life we need to suck the life out or a soul escaped?" She got out of her bed.

"Nope. This one's good. Do you remember those few rumours about that blessed baby on Earth? Welp, time to get her." I say, opening my wings. They're pitch black feathers. Amethyst gasped. "That's gonna be fun."

"Mhm. We have seven months. You know my methods. So, we gonna hang in there. " I smile. She hates hell. I just do my job and I'm fine with it. Amethyst opened her wings. They were real demon wings unlike mine and we flew out of hell to Earth.
