Chapter 4: Campsite Jobs

Once I knew what job I wanted I wrote it down on my paper form I was given. After everybody filled out their forms and turned it in, Mrs. Falcon announced who was working with who and where everybody was working. She finally came to me and announced, "And Iris W. will be working at the fire cave, a 'replica' like place of the Underworld and you will be working with Alyssa K.". I thought, "No way...guess it's my time to die Hades, huh?" I looked out the window and I saw Hades smiling and nodding.

Alyssa is not only my new poop buddy but she is also my new friend. On the first night together, she pooped on me then tried to throw me into an incinerator. I healed myself right in front of her eyes and told her that I have the power to heal myself. She seemed to have an angry face after that. She walked away and started throwing all my stuff on the ground. I was so happy to find someone that was so kind! Me and her decided to pick the same thing because she is a human so she doesn't have much to connect to except plugging her hair into the wifi router to get better wifi. It helps quite a lot. Unlike me, she is a normal human who has powers, abilities stronger than mine, and is from a totally different species. I have the ability to heal myself but she wants to learn to kill people who have the ability that to heal themselves, which is so interesting because she wants to kill people that have the power to heal themselves...I have the power to heal myself!! It's ok though because I don't think she knows I have these powers.

Today we are going to visit our jobs after we get our gear on. In the Fire Cave, any water inside is evaporated, turned to absolutely nothing...there's a pool in the fire cave too. It was created by people who used to live in the Underworld. When preparing, since the cave is really hot, we have to wear a swim suit in case we need to swim in the lava to cool down. It's weird that our teacher said that, especially because after she said that, I looked back at her and she was smiling devilishly and pushed one of our students in the lava.

At the Fire Cave, Alyssa started to get hot so she immediatly grabbed the map that they gave us and ran to the pool. As her legs burned of her body, she told me, "This is SOOO comfortable." I had to follow her because she didn't know much about the Underworld. It was weird though, because she'd walk through somewhere...but when I walked through, something would try to kill me. One of the times, I dodged the trap and looked behind me and I saw Hades shaking his head, mad and stomping away. I kept having thoughts about how she might see my true form. I was really worried that she would get scared if she saw it. My true form...was a two-sided pogo stick. I was told that nothing was scarier than that sight. I jumped in the pool and I noticed how hot it was.

"Wait," Alyssa said, "What species are you if you can call the Underworld home? A devil?". I was quite scared to tell her. "C-can you keep a secret about this?" I said, "Yeah I can keep even the biggest secrets!". "Okay I am..." I told her who I was. After I told her I was a devil, she ran out the cave and yelled, "Ay yo! Everyone guess what! Iris is a devil!" Everyone turned our direction. I got jumped by the whole school that day.

After school, I ran to my room wondering if she would come home jumping me again. Alyssa is one of those girls who you can trust a lot to end your career. If she can hide her secret from anyone else besides me that she wants to learn to kill others with 'healing magic' then...well she ain't keeping my secret, R.I.P. I was really excited to go back to the campsite so I can see if I could get jumped again.

April 19, 20XX. Over the weekends, I went to the store and a few fast food restuarants like Burger Wing with Alyssa. Alyssa was really happy when we went to a convenience store for some reason. We both got ICEE's because that was one of the first things we saw in there along with cookies and candy. After we got our stuff, I drank some of my ICEE and I turned around and saw Alyssa behind me pounding her fists. She said, "It's beating time Iris." She said with the biggest smile I had ever seen. I was happy that she was looking so happy, so I dropped my ICEE and opened my arms. "It's about time Alyssa." I said with a big smile. When going back, we saw a boy from our school and the bully turned to me and said, "OH HEY DEMON!!!". How did he know?! Alyssa had only told everyone in the school and every single person in the state, the country, and she might have told the president.
