Annabel's POV

The shop was a small, squat hut made of silver that had no windows. 'That's an unusual building material.' I thought to myself, following Raven. We went inside only to find a desk. The room was very dim, with only a small light source coming from the desk. I snorted. "This has got to be a joke! Is this really the shop that sells weapons that can kill angels and demons?!" Raven looked at me and said,"Just wait." "For what?!" I snapped, furious. "A goblin, ghost, or unicorn to appear?! This is a bloody waste of time!!" Just then, something appeared with a loud pop. I couldn't really see what it was. "May I help you?" It asked politely. I realized that it was a girl. Now I felt incredibly bad that I said that this all had to be a joke. Raven said,"I apologize for this idiot's behavior. She's new here and doesn't know anything about this shop." "Hey!!" I yelled. The girl nodded, saying, "Please, follow me." She then led us to a hole that was behind the desk. Raven said,"Follow my lead." and jumped into the hole. "What the hell?!" I yelped, "I'm not going to jump into that hole!!" The girl said,"Then I will help you." Without warning, she pushed me into the hole. I shrieked, thinking to myself as I was falling, 'OH MY GOODNESS! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!' Soon, I landed on top of a pile of pillows. "Oh, thank goodness I'm alive!!" I said, relieved.

I then looked up and saw a tall man with black glasses and two different colored eyes. One was a blood red color, while the other was a light green with hints of dark green. His hair was black with streaks of deep blue. He wore a long lab coat, one half of it pure black and the other half a blinding white. "Hello, Annabel. I've been waiting for you."

Shocked, I asked,"I'm sorry sir, but how the hell do you know me?!" He laughed. "Annabel, I'm not a normal person." 'Kinda figured that out.' I thought saucily. The man continued. "My name is Maximilian Alessandro Victoriano DeAndre Montgomery, but you can call me Max. Need a hand?"

Max's POV

Annabel looked at me, her eyes wide and jaw dropped. "That's..quite the long name!" She stuttered. I laughed. "I get that a lot so I'm used to it." She observes me closely. "Are you a human?" Annabel asked, cocking her head to the side. I help her up, pondering her question. "What do you think I am dearie?" She looks deep in thought, muttering to herself. Annabel observes me more closely and snaps her fingers a second later. "I know!" She exclaims,"You are part angel and demon!" I laughed again. "You are quite the observant girl! But what else am I?" She looks at me, slightly surprised. "You are partly something else?" I nod. "I'm....also part Grim Reaper!!" I cackled. "WHAT?! GRIM REAPERS ARE REAL?!" Annabel shrieked. "Indeed they are, my dear!!" She looks at my face closely. "That explains the glasses and green eye.." muttered Annabel. We both then hear laughter. I turned around and there was Raven, one of my favorite customers, laughing her head off with tears streaming down her face. "Ah, I almost forgot you were here dearie!" I said, grinning. "Annabel, I thought we were here to get you a weapon!" Raven says, giggling. "We are!!" Annabel snapped, looking around the shop. I went to the counter and sat down. "What kind of weapon do you need today, dear Annabel?" She glared at me, then looked at Raven. "Does he always call people dear or dearie?!" Raven gives me a wink. "Only to pretty girls that he sees!" She muses. I saw Annabel bristle, obviously peeved. She said quite loudly, "I need a weapon for angel hunting!" I got up and walked over to a wall full of weapons. "These are the weapons that are perfect for angel hunters!" I exclaimed, showing off my prized possessions. Annabel and Raven walked over to where I was.

Annabel's POV

There was a loud pop sound behind me and I turned around. It was that girl who pushed me into the hole. "Why is she here?" I said quite rudely. Max walked to her and gave her a hug. "Because, dearie, this is my only sister and employee." "EH?!?!" I was shocked. "But you two don't even look alike!!" "We get that a lot too," the girl whispered, "but we are used to it. My name is Catherine Rosemary Alexsandra Abigail Montgomery, but you can call me Cathy." Now that there was a better light source, I could see her better. Cathy had long, pure white hair and wore a dress that was black at the top, but white at the bottom. She was also deathly pale and had one light blue eye and one green eye with flecks of gold. "I'm sorry. I was so rude to you and didn't think before I said those things." I muttered, looking at the ground. Cathy laughed. "That's quite alright, Annabel. I'm used to it. Now, are you going to choose a weapon for angel hunting?" Ack, I kept getting distracted!

I looked at the wall full of weapons, trying to find one that would suit me. "There's a room next to the counter on the left that you can use if you want to try out some weapons," Max told me. "Ok," I replied, excited. Soon, after trying out some weapons, I came out of the testing room, slightly downcast. "None of them suit me!" I cried,"How can I ever find the right weapon for me?!" Raven looked deep in thought. "When I first chose my weapon, I picked one that I had most experience with, meaning a sword. What weapons did you use often?" She said. I thought to myself. "I really don't use weapons very often, but I've had the most experience with knives." "And you are pretty good with pistols too..." Raven mumbled. She then grabbed some knives and twin pistols. "Try these. They might work for you." Raven said, giving them to me. I went into the testing room. After a while, I came out with a huge grin on my face. Max, Raven, and Cathy were sitting on the floor, playing cards. I cleared my throat and they all looked at me. "So, have you decided what weapon suits you most, dearie?" Max says with a smile. "Indeed I have, Max." "So which weapons suits you most, twin pistols or knives?" Raven asks. I paused for a moment. "I'm good with both, actually. I've decided that the twin pistols are my main weapons while knives are backup." Cathy gives me a small smile.
