This is the first segment. Let me know what you think ^_^
Chapter 1
Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm clock went off as if shouting, "Wake up! TIme to GO! No Rest! Let's go!" Kelly groaned as she got up, walked past a pile of clothes on the floor and shut it off with a resounding "click".
She took a deep breath, her hand running through matted and slightly greasy hair. It was Monday, she was supposed to go to school today. She felt her body tense at the mere thought of that hellhole.
"Kelly! Are you up?" her mother's head popped in. An attractive woman in her late thirties, her mother had her hair up in a pony tail with cream all over her face.
Kelly nodded. "Okay, well you only have 20 minutes so get going!", her mother's head disappeared once more.
Kelly let out an audible sigh. What she really felt like doing was screaming but she resigned herself to her fate. She reached down into another pile of dirty clothes and retrieved a pair of jeans. She held them to
her nose, sniffing cautiously. These will do she decided.
She reached into her drawer, grabbed a shirt, which one did not really matter and put it on. She went to her bathroom, ran a brush through her hair, careful to not look into the mirror. Others did not seem to find her
attractive, so why should she?
Kelly skipped breakfast and grabbed a pile of books too big to fit in to her backpack. She checked her wallet for money and walked out the door into her mother's car.
Her mother came rushing out, a large handful of files. Kelly heard her mom flipping pages until 2 AM where she finally fell asleep exhausted on the couch.
"Ready?" her mother flashed her a smile. She really was beautiful. Her make-up carefully applied and her clother neatly pressed. She did not look as if she was going to hit forty next year unless you noticed the dark bags underneath her eyes from working late and having little sleep.
They said little to eachother on the ten minute drive to school. Whenever they did talk on this dirve it was always her mother asking questions, mostly about school. Kelly would always answer in dry mono-syallables.
When they pulled in front of Watson Highschool. Kelly kissed her mother on the cheek, said I love you and watched her mom speed away. She was late for a 7:00 AM meeting. School did not start for at least another hour.
Kelly looked over at the looming buildings at her highschool. If darkness could take form, she thought, then the school would be a solid mass.
Few kids were roaming the locker room as Kelly opened her locker, placed two book in that she thankfully would not need until tomorrow. She went into the library, grabbed a book on Sherlock Holmes, a favorite of hers lately and began to lose herself in the latest fantasy of the English detective.

Two forms hovered over the girl, unbeknown to her. One, an asian named Kazuya and a femaile named Rachel, exchanged somber looks.
"Is she the one the LORD has chose?" Rachel clasped her hands together, forming a circle with her fingers. She always did that when she worried.
Kazuya nodded, shifting to see Kelly's eyes reading the pages fervently, almost as if her life depended on each word.
Rachel turned to him, her blonde hair falling gently on her shoulders, "Do you think that she will be ready?"
Kazuya looked at the girl for a moment before speaking, his eyes never leaving her, "It is not for us to understand His will. He wished it to be so and it will be as He says."
"I do not understand the human heart, Kazuya or why it is so turmoiled."
Kazuya smiled, "You are young and still an apprentice Rachel, do not be dismayed. The LORD has special plans for you as He does for all of His creations and eventually, you will start to see them as our Father does."
Rachel nodded, "Free Will."
Kazuya said nothing but continued to watch the girl, fascinated. He felt Rachel's hand on his shoulder and followed her gaze to the ceiling, his eyes narrowing.
Rachel's hand gripped the handle of her sword. Two craetures crawled on the ceiling. Their eyes were a golden yellow, the irises small and pure manevolence emitted from them.
THeir eyes golden beauty quickly faded as the rest of their faces came into view. THey were winkled, dark and tar-like. Resembling human and gargoyle with ten times the amount of leathery, sulfuric-smelling skin.
THey were crawling about on the ceiling, their fans gleaming and pulled in a type of smile. Sharp, raven-like claws gripped the ceiling, moving every minute to glare and gnash their teeth. Both had thin, string-like muscles. It was clear that they were not warriors.
"Stay calm, Rachel," Kazuya warned, his hand stopping her from pulling her sword.
"What business do you have here?" Kazuya addressed the one creature on the left, he had a red ruby around his neck.
"Weeee dooo noot answeerr to yoou," it revealed it's gleaming fangs even more.
"Leave the girl be, Nicholas," Kazuya spoke quietly
It glared, 'My name is Torak, not Nicholas, angel, and we do not answer to you, she's ours!" They both cackled as if he had just told a joke.
Kazuya said nothing in response, "Rachel we must go". Rachel started to protest but Kazuya's look told her to keep quiet.
Kazuya took a last look at Kelly before letting his wings open as he and Rachel shot through the school ceiling, towards the heavens, the demons cackling ringing in their ears.
