Fallen From Heaven And Hell

Ch. 3 No Longer Normal

After I was stabbed by Douglas, who I now knew was a fallen angel, I could feel myself dying, but before I did, I felt a surge of energy flow through my body. The next thing I knew, I woke up in a room that I was unfamiliar with. At first I thought I was in a hospital, but I then realized that no hospital rooms had purple wallpaper. I sat up and looked around more.

"Where am I?" I asked myself.

I got out of bed and looked out the window and didn't recognize where I was at all. The grass was a different shades of green then I had ever seen, and the sky was red with dark grey clouds.

"What is this place?" I say as I back away from the window.

I then hear the door to the room open, and I turn around to see a person I didn't recognize either. She appeared to be wearing a maid outfit.

"Ah, you are awake," she said as she looked at me.

"Pardon me for asking, but where am I and who are you?" I ask her.

"All will be explained in a moment," she said as she left the room and closed the door behind her.

I tried to remember what happened before I was here, but the last thing I remember was going to sleep after my first day of school at Crimson Academy. I remembered Rachel coming over to my house and telling me why she became a devil, but nothing else.

A few minutes later, the door to the room opened again, and I saw the six devils come into the room.

"Guys," I said in surprise.

"You're awake!" Rachel says as she runs over and hugs me.

"Yes, I am," I say as I hug her back.

"It's good to see you up and around, Hector," Carolyn says.

"Now, can someone tell me what's going on?" I say.

"What do you mean?" Adam asked confused.

"I mean, why am I here?" I asked, answering his question.

"You mean, you don't remember?" Mira says.

"Remember what?" I asked.

"You were stabbed in the stomach," Rachel says.

"What?!" I shout.

I then clutch my stomach and start to remember what happened.

"Oh, yeah," I say, starting to remember. "You guys aren't hurt, are you?"

"No," Carolyn says. "And that is all thanks to you."

"But how can you ask that, when you were the one the got stabbed?" Rachel asks, sounding worried.

"I just wanted to make sure Douglas didn't hurt you guys," I say. "You guys are my friends. I couldn't just stand around and do nothing."

Rachel hugs me again, pressing her face into my chest, and I could feel her tears on my shirt.

"I can't believe you killed yourself to protect us," Rachel says as she pulls away from me.

"Oh, yeah. That's right," I say as I remember the pain. "I died, so how am I alive."

Carolyn has a smile on her face, as well as all the other devils.

"Welcome to the Reaper household of devils," Carolyn says as Rachel walks over to her.

"Wait, I'm a devil now too?" I ask.

All the other devils make their wings appear on their backs and show them to me. I then feel something come out from my back. I look behind me to see two big black wings have emerged.
