~Erica~

🎼 I walked past the music room seeing a glimpse of white hair. I backed up to gaze through and watched Angelica talking with a big fat lady in blue dress with flamingos all over it. Jeff the big Brute who I was walking with backed up with me and I glared at him.

“Blaz’s sister is busy so should you be.” I sneered waving him off and he rolled his eyes walking off without me. Why he feels the need to protect me I have no idea nor do I care. Angelica nodded to whatever the woman was saying then she walked towards me and smiled at me. 

“Hey.” She greeted opening the door. She has Will’s eyes but much more feminine. I don’t know what Dara looks like all I’ve heard in the ‘underworld’ is that she has snowhite hair. And other inappropriate comments that I care not to think about. Guys are so gross...

“Hi there devil child.” I greeted back she cocked her head to the side then smiled at my nickname. “Until I see your angelic side you’re a devil to me.”’

“Oh right.” She laughed humorlesslyy.

“By the way as the real devil’s sister could you please limit the bashing on my brother? He’s worried you’re going to go from suspended to expelled and I can’t handle the whining he makes when you are gone for a day.”

“He whines when I’m not here? I guess that seems right. He did say that I’m his top fav victim.”

I snickered. “Really?” I doubt that’s the case. Usually he annoys me with the girls he dates however when I tease him about Angelica he tells me to “Fuck off.” Or “Shut up!” or best of all:

“She’s not my girlfriend.” 

“I never asked if she was... Blaz do you have a crush on your princess?” He glared up at me from his bed. 

“Shut up!” 

“You’re not denying it?” I mocked.

“Get out!” He growled baring his fangs and before I left I noticed something bright red on the end of his bed. 

“Whose panties are those?”

“Hey! Hey... Hey Erica?” Angelica snapped her fingers at my face and I came back to earth. What I’m thinking is my brother finally actually loves someone, and it’s her. 

I SHIP THEM! BANGIE 4EVER!

“Sorry I zoned out.” Yeah I zoned out thinking of your future children... I need to stop exciting myself right now. “What happened on Saturday Blaz came home with a sweet smile on his face?” I paused. “Blaz isn’t sweet not even to me.”

“A demon tried to kill me.” She looked at me as if I was supposed to be surprised. But because I’m one of the babes in the underworld attracting demons is a normal occurrence. “I guess you wouldn’t be too surprised right?”

“It was bound to happen. You’re an angel.” I shrugged. She curled her lips and nodded. 

“I have questions... But...”

“Blaz said you could only go to him?” I finished for her.

“Yup.” 

“There’s a party tonight at Kandi’s place. If you go with me we can test out your abilities on some druggos and people we hate.”

“I don’t know if I’d be welcomed.”

“Don’t worry about that. Part of being an angel is to use your beauty to your advantage.” I noticed a few of Blaz’s allies appear from the corner so I gently pushed Angelica away. She immediately understood and walked away from me while I walked towards the fugly five.

“This way you pack of losers.” I said trudging through them and they followed on behind me.

~Angelica~

I strutted downstairs ignoring the guilt for not inviting Lara and Henry with me. I feel fabulously hot in my red soldier shirt which is just a red blouse with a black bodice, black double platform boots that go up to my ankles, Forever 21 shirred high-low skirt, my snowhite hair out in it’s natural waves, red lipstick and dark eye make up. My mother met me down stairs looking equally as fabulous in a white fur coat and double platform suede pumps with her blonde hair tied back in a high bun.

“Where are you going?” She asked me adjusting her coat.

“Party. Have fun with your friends tonight.” I know she’s going out with the gals to bitch about their divorcies and blah blah blah.

“You too... Do I need to tell you the yes and no’s of parties?”

“No drugs and no thugs. I hate alcohol anyway and my secret doors to paradise will not be unlocked by any guy’s key.” I said and she giggled. It’s times like these I can never tell if my mother and I have a healthy relationship. I frowned a little when I remembered she’s not my mother but when she looked at me I made sure I put up my best smile.

“Alright, do you want me to send a limo for you?”

“Uh... no I’m set.” Mum soon left and I hanged around the front door. Michael often walked up to me to chat about nothing, the twins I haven’t seen all day and Aunt Gladys came over once to bless me with her pixie dust. I sneezed uncontrollably for a couple of minutes which Michael made fun of and now calls me snotty Jelly.

My phone buzzed and I glanced down at it to read the message.

Don’t be mad. ~ Erica

The doorbell rang and when I opened the door it was Blaz on the otherside leaning on the Grecian podium in his usual get up. Black leather jacket, black jeans, black high tops but a white t-shirt. A pure colour on a dark creature like himself? No pun intended. 

“What are you doing here?” I questioned him. Then looked over the text message again and typed. You bitch before I pressed send.

“Someone has to... t-take...” His eyes scanned my body up and down before his eyes reached my face.

I ignored the heated look. “I thought Erica was going to pick me up.” Suddenly he grabbed my hand and slowly spun me around.

“I have never seen your bare legs before.” He said almost amazed. Don’t blush, don’t blush NO I’M BLUSHING. “I approve.”

“Yeah because that’s my goal in life, seeking your approval.” I narrowed my eyes and shook my head.

“Change your shoes.” He suddenly said.

I glared at him annoyed. “Why?”

“You’re too tall! You’re towering over me!” I poked my tongue out him and he snapped his teeth at me acting like he was going to bite my tongue off. I yelped and hit his shoulder playfully then he started helping me down the stairs, his hand hot in my warm one. 

“My God we’re not taking the motorbike are we?” I asked worriedly.

“Unless you have a car your Majesty.” He said dully.

“Can you drive one?”

“Don’t you have limos that drive you around? Say like that one there.” He smirked gesturing ahead with his chin and I saw a black liomsuine with a big silver skull on the front with fangs drive in through the front gates.

“Hell on wheels.” I muttured pulling my hand out of his. “I thought it was just going to be Erica and me.”

“Sorry to disappoint.” He said sourly.

“Please you find any way to annoy me right?” I teased but he looks upset. I nudged him. “Hey hotstuff what’s with the frown?”

He gazed up at me genuinely shocked or maybe disgusted. “What did you say?”

“It’s OK to cry I won’t judge.” I mocked holding his shoulder and making a pouty face.

“Did you call me hotstuff?” 

“OK I’m going to make one thing straight here. You are a jerk that happens to have a cute butt.” He looked at me incredulously then smirked.

“You insulted me and complimented me at the same time. I have taught you well.” I do want to point out I’ve been doing this for years,  that he hasn’t taught me anything instead this what slipped out of my mouth. “You proud sensei?” He rolled his eyes and when I reached out to open the door but he quickly opened it for me. I glared at him suspiciously waiting for something bad to happen; say maybe an evil clown leaps out with shark teeth. When no clown did I bent down to look and inside sat Erica in a black one shoulder dress that goes midthigh a gothic silver snake angel woman pendant, Jeff and the dude with purple hair Felix and some other ‘dark angels’ I recognise but don’t know them personally. Erica scooted over and everyone moved over one seat staring at me with curiosity. I feel like I’m intruding on someone’s party which I will be but not with Dark ANGELS! I sat down next to Erica and she quickly whispered to me. “He found out I’m sorry.”

Blaz sat down next to me and leaned his head over to glare between us. “Excuse me?” 

I turned to Erica. “You owe me.” She laughed and I elbowed his gut so he backed away but rested his arm behind my head sitting really close to me. I can feel his body heat radiating off of him however I didn’t dare move. “Where did you even get the limo anyway?” I asked to break the silence.

“What is she doing with us?” Felix asked.

“He liked the look of my legs so he invited me along.” I stated sarcastically and I noticed Blaz just shrug, his way of saying ‘guilty as charged’. I let out a breathy chuckle while I stared ahead at the driver then my mouth dropped seeing a skeleton instead of a person. Suddenly another face with flesh popped up next to the skeleton driver, another boy with wild golden hair and a set of pretty blue eyes probably a year older than Blaz.

“Who might I say is this?” The blonde boy asked flirtatiously showing off his pearly whites.

“I pray you’re the driver. I’m afraid the handsome fellow next to you might suffer from anorexia.” I replied and he laughed looking at the skeleton before back at me.

“You know for a second I almost confused you with...” He paused and sighed disappointed. “Blaz what’s the name of that super model with white hair?” 

“There is no supermodel with white hair.” Blaz answered back.

I flipped my hair back. “Not yet anyway.” With that I managed to bring smiles on a few faces so now I know they accept me. 

“Well I am Aaric by the way and I shall be your designated driver for the evening.” He winked at me then turned to the skeleton, “pardon me my lady.” 

“How do you know it’s a girl?” I questioned. He gasped and covered her nonexistent ears. 

“Don’t listen to her Sophie.” He whispered loudly and everyone rolled their eyes annoyed whilst Blaz smiled. “She’s just jealous. Angelica is it?” He suddenly asked me.

“Yes. How’d you know?” I questioned suspicious. I only just met him...

“He won’t shut up about you.” He said lifting Sophie up and resting her on the seat next to him so he could sit in the driver’s seat.

“He who?” I perked a brow and Blaz stiffened beside me.

“Just drive Marilyn Monroe.” Blaz called out and Aaric glared over at Blaz but playfully.

“Stop making fun of my hair Adam Sandler.” I’m waiting for Blaz to storm over and tear his throat out but instead he just grinned dryly completely stunning me.

“You’re not going to kill him?” I asked.

“He’s my best friend.” Blaz has a best friend?

“Oh I thought I was...” I said sarcastically.

“Well if you want to reach my top of the list you’d have to be my friend with benefits.” He purred and Erica gagged.

“Oh good to know how you and Aaric became friends.” I smiled while everyone gasped before laughing their heads off. Even Aaric fell back onto Sophie crying with laughter however Blaz and I looked deep into each others eyes, I held a sinister smirk while he playfully glared at me. He slowly moved his mouth next to my ear to whisper. “You make a very bad Dark Angel and in my world that’s a good thing.”

“I guess you could learn a few tips from me.” I whispered back and he laughed breathing out a warm breath right inside my ear. I almost trembled from the tickilish feeling it brought. 

“Don’t push it.”

“You love it when I do.”

“You also tend to do the opposite of what I say. So don’t snuggle into my side and act all lovy dovy.”

“You can count that I won’t.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

“Are you two done yet?”Aaric called out. We turned our heads and notice everyone is just sitting there watching us. I blushed curling my lips in embarrassed while Blaz scowled as Aaric wiggled his eyebrows at him. Aaric seemed surprised by Blaz’s reaction then turned around to hold the steering wheel. “Let us away then.” 

~🎶~

Kandi’s house is nice and spacious yet still it can’t fit as many people as she invited. It’s almost like she invited every horny kid in town so as I squeezed through people I clung onto Erica’s hand. We found some small spot in the corner of the living room and sighed exasperated.

“I’m covered in other people’s sweat.” Erica spat annoyly. 

“And we’ve been here for only five minutes.” I replied. I stared around the room and a few people in my year level are shocked to see me. I guess I deserve those since I never come to these things. Then I noticed Ronny walk in and I cringed looking away at the wall. This is pointless since he’ll recognise me by my hair but I made a silent pray hoping that he wouldn’t. 

“Hey Angelica.” He greeted breathlessly behind me. “Hey Erica.” He said equally as breathless as before. I turned around to face noticing him admire us both, what a sleeze? “You two look amazing.”

“Thank you Ronny.” We said together and equally as bored. Erica closed the space between him and herself staring intently into his eyes. “Why don’t you go have some fun with your friends?”

He repeated. “I’ll go have fun with my friends.”He walked off and I perked a brow.

“I have the power of influence. I can make anyone do anything I want.”

“So that’s how you handle Blaz.” I teased and I heard an animalistic growl from behind me. I turned to see Blaz glaring at me playfully and so I smiled innocently. “I think I’ll get myself a drink.”

“I’ll come with you, make sure you don’t trip in your heels.”

“You just don’t get it. I’m trying to avoid you.” I smirked. 

“I know...” He whispered right in my ear. “I also know that Erica was going to help you with your powers. That’s why you’re here.” My smile disappeared and I looked away. Guilty as charged. “I told you not to go to other angels’ princess. You want to know everything you come to me.”

“She invited me for fun.” I protested.

“She told me everything, so don’t try and lie to me.” He grabbed my arm and gestured with his head to a couple talking in front of us. “You remember what happened in science with the Bunsen burner?” How could I forget? “Light the guy’s drink on fire.”

“What?”

“It’s alcohol.” He stated as if that made sense.

“How do I do that?”

“Toss a little flame that’s unoticable.” 

“Is that my power fire?”

“The fire you got from Will and the singing from Dara.” But I’ve done other cool things... I guess I’ll tell him later. Suddenly he held out his hand and from the palm of his hand a little orange flame lit up and he blew away so it floated off into the man’s drink. The whole drink set on fire and he yelped dropping the cup on the floor. I gasped and as Blaz laughed I punched him hard on the arm making him glare at me shocked.  “Ow!”

“You’re such an ass.” I hissed. 

“But a cute ass.” He said using my compliment against me.

“Oh shut up.” I playfully said. 

“Now you try.”

“No.”

“Oh come on look there’s one of Nicole’s friends.” I didn’t need to be convinced I set alight a purple flame and watched it float into her drink and explode. Oh my God! 

“Why is mine purple?”

“No clue.”

“Some mentor you are.”

“Shut up.” He good-humouredly growled. I perked my brow then walked off heading for the kitchen so I could get myself a drink. Actually I would kill for a cheeseburger right now. 

“What are you doing here?” Someone sneered behind me. I turned around and saw the mole standing behind me in a yellow tube dress, strapless and ends above midthigh. How did her parents let her out of the house like this?

“I was invited.”

“Kandi wouldn’t have invited the likes of you.” She spat venomously. 

“Don’t worry I doubt she even knows I’m here.” I replied.

“Let me guess you actually climbed down the chimney like the fat old man you are .” Ouch Santa will be putting coal in her shoes this year.

“Actually I came here with your ex.” I said with a straight face. Her expression was equally as blank. “Listen Nicole what happened was the lowest of the low.”

“Hell yeah.” She interrupted. 

“But I am sorry. I would never want that to happen to me so I do regret doing that to you. Even if we do hate each other.” I said honestly. She stepped forward glaring at me but I showed no sign of weakness.

She hissed. “You’re not sorry but you will be.” And like the drama queen she is she stormed off. What does she mean I will be? I’m now dreading the night and I feel sick in my stomach. 

“You alright Aphrodite?” I jumped at Aaric’s voice and he chuckled enjoying my fright.

“What is it with you and Blaz popping out of nowhere? Nice rhyme by the way.”

“Thank you and we’re attention seekers.”

“You’re telling me. Where’s your gurl Sophie?” I asked wiggling my eyebrows. 

“She moved on. Literally. Now what was that about? I don’t see you as the type to be stealing boyfriends.”

“What makes you say that? You barely know me.”

“Well from what Blaz says...” Someone slung their arm over my shoulders knocking me off balance.

I gazed up at Blaz who smirked down at me. “OK... Let’s see your dance moves princess.”

“No way.” I exclaimed. “If I wanted to kill myself I’d climb up your ego and jump down to your IQ level.”

“In other words you won’t dance...” He paused. “By your own will.” 

Uh Oh...
