Kylo

Xander always told me the floor doesn't need hugs. But my feet never seem to agree. Specially when I decide to say something flirty but see stark red eyes instead of Aaron's dark brown ones.

A short chuckle comes from above me as I pick myself up. Her voice echoes through the halls, but it sounds more sweet than sinister. Lillith looks as dangerous as she did the first time I saw her.

She has the same sloppy smile as Aaron and their amazing raven hair match too. But she has a sense of power with her, which Lucifer never has. It gives me a strange urge to bow, but that would make it more awkward than it already is.

So I do what anyone would do, I stand absolutely still and pretend to be a completely innocent wall who was definitely not breaking any rules. Queen Lillith looks at me for a minute and starts laughing. Her eyes seem to sparkle between red and brown while her height somehow increases by a few inches.

Moment after moment, my confusion dies down and 'Lillith' looks like who it really is. Guess the legendary Aaron isn't as good at shape-shifting as he is at about everything else. Yet another power only the Elites are permitted to learn. Xander is too lazy to learn it, else I would have been pranked way more than I already am.

I punch his arm before I decide to hug the floor again. This time it's not out of fear or confusion, but out of giddiness and relief. Aaron winks at me from above, the grin never leaving his face. "Consider this revenge for keeping me waiting."

I chuckle as I get up and follow him to the old prison cells. "In my defense, you never said you would be waiting."

"In my defense, you never attend Paranoia classes."

"In my defense, Professor Half-bald-yet-brain-dead killed half my soul in an hour. I barely survived."

"In his defense, hair problems increase by being around annoying people."

Before I come up with another defense, my phone starts to beep. I groan looking at yet another notification from 72 Hours. Seven new players joined a couple hours ago but five of them haven't even made it past the first warning. This is hopeless at this point. Maybe 'Make me your villian' was not the best way to start.

"Is something wrong?" Aaron asks. I notice actual concern on his face before he covers it up with his signature I don't really give a shit but tell me anyway attitude.

"Just the assignment, I guess. It is still going terribly." I sigh. Aaron is probably the worst person I can talk to about this. On second thought that title goes to Xander. Taking to Roofus makes more sense than talking to him.

"Did you remove the warnings yet?" He asks so casually that he might as well be stating Lucifer's kill count. I suppose it is the obvious thing to do, but I feel bad for them. Their life could have meant something before I took it away. There has to be a reason Aria doesn't talk about her life to Xander or me. Anyone from hell would think I'm crazy for caring. I don't belong in heaven, but hell isn't for me either. But life isn't something I want to go back to.

"Not yet." I hesitate.

I expect him to have the look I've seen on Lucifer a couple times when he does not get what he wants. But all I see is amusement on his face. He tilts his head slightly to the side as if he is trying to figure me out. But thankfully he doesn't ask anything about it, I would have absolutely no idea how to even answer that.

I actually like humans when they are not as stupid as Roofus' owner? I push the thought away as soon as it comes. Even though it's true, it would definitely not make sense. Life killed us, we are supposed to be jealous of people who have it or something, I never really understood how hell functions.

Hell is weird. The fear humans have of coming here are for the wrong reasons but they are right to be afraid. Hell is a second chance with which you can do nothing. You restart a life with no end and no one to care about. I used to wonder how Heaven is, but soon I gave up. Now looking at the dark haired boy in front of me, for a moment I think hell might not be so bad.

"Honestly, it will improve your chances of getting a better rank by a lot." He states. "It actually works, I removed them from my plan too."

"What is your plan anyway?" I ask, trying to change the topic. I know he is right, and I am almost convinced to actually do it.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" He chuckles. "Here's a deal, remove the warnings and I'll tell you about it."

"Done." I reply before I think it over. My game isn't that famous, I would get only two or three more souls even if I remove the warnings. On the other hand, literally everyone wants to know Aarons idea. There are rumours that even Lucifer doesn't know.

He smirks, clearly knowing he was going to win that round. I work fast to remove all the warnings from the code, with each time I click delete key it feels like I'm erasing parts of my connection to life. And honestly, it feels good. It's weird how I'm doing something bad by removing death threats.

The moment I click enter, solidifying everything I just did, a notification pops up. "Well that was fast." I murmur before I look into it.

From the corner of my eyes I catch Aaron smiling. The sight brings a smile to my own lips before I nearly drop my phone out of annoyance. How can teenagers be a pain even after I'm dead?
