I sat in my bed with Blair sitting behind me  doing my hair. The Halloween party was tonight so my roommates were helping me get ready. I was going to the party as a devil, you know because I'm an Angel. Victoria thought it would be hilarious.

     Zoey sat in front of me doing my makeup. Lilia laid out the little red dress I was going to wear on my bed along with my black heels and devil horns.

      "Hey, you alright?" Lilia asked me.

      "Yeah, why?"

      "Because you seem kinda quiet."

      "I guess I'm just a little nervous about tonight."

     "It'll be fine. I'm sure your party planning skills are spectacular," Zoey said putting a little bit of blush on my cheeks.

     "No, that's not it," I said. "I just have a bad feeling, like I'm really anxious about something, but I don't know what. It's hard to explain."

     "Well, try to forget about it. You're going to a fuckin party and you're going to have fun," Blair commanded.

    I like how Blair threatened me to have fun. Like that would work.

     "You're all ready babe," Zoey said standing up.

     "Your hair is ready too," Blair said. She patted my back indicating I could get up and I flinched.

    "What's wrong?" Lilia asked concerned. "Did Blair hit you too hard?"

      "What?! I barely touched her!" Blair said defensively.

    "No, it's nothing," I said. "My back has just been sore recently. I don't know why."

     I got up off of my bed and changed into my dress. It came to my mid thigh. I put on the devil horns and the heels.

     "Damn you look good," Zoey said.

    "I look like a hooker."

    "Nah," Blair said waving me off. "I wear outfits like that all of the time."

      "That does not give me confidence."

     "What are you saying?"

     "She just called you a hooker, dumbass," Zoey said.

      And while they were bickering I slipped out of the door.

                             👑👑👑

       Victoria and I stood by the drinks table while people started to flood in. Victoria was dressed as an Egyptian goddess. She wore a long black dress with gold accents. She also had her hair colored black and wore gold beads around her head.

     The ballroom we were using for our party turned out well. I let Victoria do all of the decorating because she was good at that sort of thing. There were cobwebs everywhere and Victoria couldn't help but set up fog machines. I contributed the Skeletons hanging up because I loved skeletons. I named all of them too because I'm just that weird. There were also little plastic frogs and spiders on the table.

     "Damn you ladies look fine tonight," Humphrey said walking up to us. He was dressed as an Egyptian Pharaoh. And in case you were wondering, yes, it was Victoria's idea. See, now they really looked like a couple. Who were they trying to fool?

     "I always look good," I said.

     "Sure you do."

     "Hello," Krail said coming up to us. "So far so good. You guys will probably pass this project."

     "Thanks," We all said.

     "I'm actually surprised by how many people showed up," I said after Krail walked away.

     "Don't be. We are fabulous so of course people showed up!" Victoria said.

    "Or it's because he's here," Humphrey said pointing at someone standing a little ways away from us. I turned to see Dario, dressed as a pirate, standing with Magius and the Demon twins.

     "That's true. Wherever Dario is everyone else follows," I said.

      "You should go talk to him," Victoria said.

     "And you should date him," I said nodding at Humphrey who wasn't paying attention because he was talking to Leo.

     "And you should fuck off."

    I laughed and headed over to where Dario was. "Hey guys," I said.

    "Hey, Elizabeth," Magius said. He had a cape on so I'll assume he was a superhero.

    "Hey," The twins said. They were wearing shirts that said Thing 1 and Thing 2.

     Dario smiled at me. "You're a devil?"

    "Yeah ironic right? You're not offended are you?" I asked the twins.

     The twins shook their heads. "No, we're demons not devils," They both said.

     "The devil is one being," Alessandro said.

      "Demons, according to humans, are the devil's servants," Argento said.

     "When in reality we are just supernatural beings, Alessandro said.

    "There you are, Dario!" Adrijana had showed up. Gack. She saw that I was with him and glared at me.

    "I'm gonna go find Victoria," I said. I no longer wanted to be around Dario now that his fiancé had shown up.

     I started back to where I had left Victoria but saw that she was talking to Humphrey. Well I didn't want to interrupt that so I veered into another direction. I looked up towards the ceiling where most of the pixies and fairies were flying. I tried to spot Faye but was unsuccessful. Damn it. I wished Lazarus or my roommates were here.

      "You look lost," A voice said from behind me.

      I turned around to see Elridge. "I am lost. I have no friends."

     Elridge chuckled at me. "That's a shame.  And you seriously came here as a devil?"

     "Yes. It's supposed to be funny."

     "Well, I'm not laughing."

      "That's because you have no sense of humor. How's chaperoning?" I asked.

     "Oh it's a blast. I love watching horny teenagers," Elridge said taking a drink from the cup he was holding. I caught a whif of alcohol. We didn't get alcohol for the party, since we're all minors, so Elridge had to have brought his own.

     "I can pretend I don't smell that," I said.

    "I forgot you have a sense of smell. How are you anyway?"

     I shrugged. "I'm alright. My back has been kinda sore though."

     "Really? That means your wings are starting to form."

     "Seriously? Yay! So when should they come in then?"

    "Well, under normal circumstances probably not for another few months. But who the hell knows with you."

    "That's true. I'm not very normal am I?"

    "No. But that's not always a bad thing."

    "Oh, and I've also been feeling nervous all night for no particular reason."

    Elridge took another drink then narrowed his eyes at me. "You know you have excellent intuition as an Angel. How long have you had this bad feeling?"

     "Since I woke up."

     "Me too."

     "Really? Wizards have intuition too?"

      "Headmaster!!" Felicity said flying over to us. "You have to come see this!"

    "What's wrong?" Elridge asked now concerned.

     "You just have to come see!" Felicity looked down at me. It looked like there was sympathy in her eyes. "She may want to see to."

     "What?" I asked confused.

     "Just show us," Elridge said.

     Felicity flew ahead of us and Elridge and I elbowed our way through the crowd. We got out of the ballroom and turned right. A few ways down the hallway I spotted a group of people gathered around staring at something on the wall. Dario and the Demon twins were over there as well.

    "Move!" Elridge yelled approaching.
Everyone scattered out of the way. Dario saw me and his eyes went wide. And when I looked at the wall I saw why.

    "Oh fuck," Elridge said.

     My jaw dropped. What was this? What did it mean?

     There, written on the wall in spray paint, were the words.
