This is an original work I started a long time ago but am only just starting to pick back up. I hope you enjoy it. This story features a different outlook on the Bible and Creation and whatever else; I don't actually believe that "God" is a female who is just going under the alias of "he"... I'm not even Christian. ^_^ So don't flame me, please. Think of this as a work of fiction. And this story doesn't mean that guys are evil and girls are good just because the demons are all male and the angels are all female - as you'll find out, there are some in both batches that are trying to play for the other team. You'll see. ^_^ -M. Clark
1..the.good.book.lied.
This whole war is nothing like Revelations said it would be. It's more like somebody's reading Revelations backwards, and they're drunk, with crackers in their mouth.
No, seriously.
I'm Fahren. You can call me that if you want, but it's all the same to me. I would say I'm your average person, but I'm an Angel, not a person. If I were, I'd be pretty average. Does that make any sense?
Our student programs completely suck. Thank God they stopped doing that mandatory foreign exchange thing. I don't need to go to Hell to understand what it's like, thankyouverymuch. But the good book lies about all of that. Hell is a lot like Earth, but everything's in shades of red and black and the traffic is ten times worse. And everyone's a Demon, but that part's kind of obvious, unless you're a total retard.
We - and when I say we, I mean the students of the Academy for the Training of Angels - are all stuck here in this apartment complex with all of the students from the Demon Academy. Whose bright gleaming notion was it to stick all of the drafted students from BOTH places in this one building? Heaven's students and Hell's students, sharing the same hallways, eating in the same cafeteria. It's like the Real World on crack.
My roommate's name is Blue. She's a true Angel. She is all things "wings", a raging Angel fan. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and her side of the room is covered in paintings and magazine pages and newspaper clippings of various Angel sightings. We're supposed to be MAD about things like that, not slather our rooms in it. Someone shines a flashlight in their mirror, takes a picture, and it's supposed to be an Angel? Shoot me now. If God knew about Blue's side of our room, She'd be plenty pissed.
Oh yeah, you didn't know that? God's a girl. But you won't know about that for years and years, when the Second Coming happens. It's gonna be really messy, so I'd suggest booking a flight early. Gosh, it's weird talking to a bunch of people who existed back when I was still alive... I feel like I've gone blank. Where was I going with all of this?
Oh yeah. The students. We all got shoved into the same apartment complex, which was a move rated 10.5 on the retard scale. The only thing that rates higher on my misfortune meter is the fact that Elspeth Colin is in the apartment across from mine.
Elspeth Colin, and two other girls I haven't really gotten to know all that well yet. But everyone knows about Elspeth. She's the rebel, the bad girl, the one we're taught to shun and 'tsk' at. Angels have a really stupid way of dealing with rebellious teens. But Elspeth is always cheering for the other team, and while I'm not the most dedicated Angel in the world, I really hate that she sneaks around all the time, this Demon-wannabe, while giving off this perfect-little-Angel facade. Oh well, she'll never get her wings, and that's satisfaction enough for me. If she wants to go to Hell, she can, as far as I'm concerned.
All right, that was bad. Where was I? Oh, the other girls staying with Elspeth are named Jill and Sara. Sara's a brainiac and Jill's anorexic. What, you've never heard of an anorexic angel? While we're on earth in Angel (and Demon) training, we have human bodies, and apparently Jill's got this major obsession with manipulating her weight. Weird, if you ask me; I've got better things to do...
Like pout and grumble under my breath about how this whole situation sucks. And Angels like Elspeth get away with bloody screaming murder because with the big war going on, everyone's so preoccupied with holding up the fort up there in Heaven that there's no one to check on us and make sure we're not wreaking havoc down here on Earth. I won't go into detail just yet on the craziness we're having to deal with. Just know that it's bad, and _I'm_ in the middle of it. And for the next few pages, you'll get to hear just what I think about this whole mess.
And again, allow me to say that it completely sucks.
