Her green eyes scanned the gate until they landed on me. It was a long and awkward moment of silence before a huge smile was shown on her face. "Aze-chan!!!!!!", I cringed at that name and watched as she dropped all her bags to her butler, poor guy. She ran over to me and I smiled as I held my hands open for her to land in. She smiled eve wider as she flung herself in my arms. A normal person would have probably topple over but seeing as how one of my powers was enhanced strength, I swung her around pretty easily which she squealed at. You must be lost so I'll give you a re-cap. When I was around ten I saw a cartoon which involved an umbrella, a storm and a roof. Seeing as how I was a kid, I thought that if Mary Poppins could do it, then so can I. My parents got out of the house and my brothers were cheering me on. My sister was...not here and my mom and dad were just giving me hand signals so I thought that they were cheering me on as well so I jumped. It was a nice surprise that after jumping off a two story house, I only ended with both my legs broke. The thing was, I felt pain but not was much as I should have, what was even more strange was that my legs healed after a week. That's where I discovered my ability. I thought that this was my only power but mom told me that my family has a long line of people with 2 powers. So apparently I still have another power to get, I'm not really worried, I just hope it's not as destructive as my brothers.
Anyways back to it, I met Hope when I was 11, I was at a kid's party and I was hardly having fun. I spotted an unusual girl with black hair and green eyes. I remembering thinking she was weird until she showed me the dead bird she was playing with. I planned to stay the hell away from her until there was only one slice of cake left and there were the two of us left, we glared at each other until we smiled and shared the cake which resulted in me finding out that she was allergic to the chocolate in said cake. After that we had sleep overs, play dates and things got weird when I saw her reading a BL manga and laughing like a crazy person. We decided to not talk about it until one day, when we were 15, she left some at my house. I decided to read one since I was bored and had nothing better to do and what I saw shocked me to the core. I did what any normal person would do, I burned the suckers til they were a pile of ashes and didn't have the courage to tell her so I avoided her for a year. When mom was telling me about the academy, she mentioned that Hope was also applying and that gave me even more reasons to put off my enrollment. Looking back at it now, it was kinda stupid of me put can you blame me? This is the same girl that probably killed a bird when she was 11.
Anyways I hugged her and completely forgot how much I missed my best friend. "Hope, what are you doing here?" I asked as she released me which I was thankful for. I might have enhanced strength but this girl was stronger than a bear I tell you. "My dad told me to go to get a proper education but I'm pretty sure that he and mom are just doing the nasty". Hope and I both shivered remembering when we walked in on them going at it 3 years ago. We wouldn't eat off that counter in months much to their amusement. They told us that one day we'll find someone and will be doing stuff like that too and we couldn't help but gag, back to the main story now. "Gross" I said, she laughed and saw my luggages and squealed, "Wait don't tell me that your going here as well!!". I winced as I rubbed my ear. "Unfortunately yes, anyways, I've been stuck here cause I didn't have anything sharp on me, you?", I asked hopefully. She smiled and searched her bag and took out a carving knife to which I almost choked. "You know that there is a no outside weapons policy at the academy, right?" I asked her. She nodded and ran the knife along her hand and sliced her palm, I watched as the blade cut through skin and almost winced. "Yea, I'm gonna give Wilbert it when we're finished" She said as she handed me the knife. I looked at her and the knife, I shrugged and pricked my finger with the tip of the blade and she was struggling to hold back a laugh. "Still scared of blood Aze?" She asked, I shrugged and let the blood drop in the wolf's mouth and she did the same. She threw her knife at Wilbert which he caught expertly. 'He must've had some practice, poor guy' I thought as we stood in front of the opening gate. Wilbert left Hope's bags with us and left. As the gates of hell opened, Hope looked at me. "Azrael?" She called me. I answered her with a smile on my face. "I remember what you did to my precious babies" she said coldly. Chills and sweat ran down my spine as the gates finally open, "Ah, f**k my life".
