My New Bestie

Before we start, I want to give a shoutout to my best friend who made me this really awesome cover. Thank you so much, Darling, and I love you lots!

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen, enjoy.

‘In the beginning…

The angel Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and condemned to rule Hell for all eternity.

Until he decided to take a vacation…

But…

Little does he know; he also left his daughter.

Who will stop at nothing to bring him back…’

Maze: “You know you remind me a lot of someone”

Aradia: “Who?”

Maze: “Lucifer”

Aradia: “Please tell me something about him”

Maze: “Your Dad didn’t care about anything unless they were really close to him”

Aradia: “Okay it’s time for my flight”

*Aradia falls asleep on the plane and is woken up by the cute pilot*

Pilot: “Forgive me, Miss, but we have landed”

*Sees some guys following a girl*

Aradia: ‘Hey! What do you think you’re doing?’

Guy: “Beat it girl! Before you get hurt”

Aradia: “No why don’t YOU beat it before YOU get hurt”

*Fights with the boys and saves the girl*

Aradia: “What’s your name girlie pop?*

Girl: “Inaba Sakura”

Aradia: “Well Sakura this looks like the start of a beautiful friendship”

Blank Screen

The interior of the house was absolutely adorable. Not something I would be interested in, but for a girl like Sakura-chan, I wouldn’t be surprised. I mean she’s a short young girl with fair skin and green eyes, with shoulder-length, light-pink hair that curls inwards with a fringe that reaches just above her eyes. The interior was exactly like that- light-pink.

I looked down at myself and then at Sakura. I was wearing all black clothing. I loved the badass look it made me feel powerful. But for once I wanted to let my guard down. For once I wanted to feel like a normal girl. For once I wanted to feel… like a Princess.

Wait. What are you saying? Get a grip, Aradia!

“Don’t you like it?” Sakura asked. Her doe eyes were staring into mine as a small pout was setting on her lips. I shook my head while smiling a little. She was so cute I wanted to make her my sister.

“I love it” I turned a full 360 as I looked around. “It’s so, so cute” I grinned.

She led me upstairs to her guest bedroom and told me I could decorate it exactly how I wanted to. But truth is I didn’t want to. The walls were a light pink, like the rest of the house, but there was a flower painted behind the headboard, there was a double-bed with light- pink coloured silk sheets, a white wardrobe, a desk, and a walk-in bathroom.

“Thank you Sakura-chan” I smiled gratefully.

“You’re welcome. Once you’re done putting everything away, we can hang out for a bit before dinner” she smiled.

“I would love that” I nodded.

Sakura left me alone with my thoughts as I opened the wardrobe and started organising my clothes inside. Once I was done I made my way downstairs to see Sakura sitting on the sofa opposite the window, staring outside with a cup of tea in her hands.

“Hey” I walked towards her to sit down.

“Hi” she replied with a soft smile, ‘Tea?’ she offered holding a delicate cup in one hand and a teapot in the other as if ready to pour out.

‘Please’ I nodded as she filled the cup with the warm beverage before handing to me, I sat down next to her sipping the tea while also looking out.

But Sakura looked like she had a lot on her mind as she twiddled with her thumbs.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“Nothing. I just miss my parents” she sniffed.

“I’m sorry” I whispered before clearing my throat.

There’s was a minutes’ silence.

“If you don’t mind me asking what exactly happened to your parents?” I finally got the courage to ask.

“They were both detectives. Had a big case and they both raided a house, my Dad got stabbed trying to save my Mum and Mum got shot while trying to save one of her colleagues’ a tear rolled down her cheek which I wiped.

‘I promise your parents are in a good place, as far as their murderers are concerned, well they’ll have a nice little surprise in Hell. I’ll make sure of it’ I told her sternly while placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

She looked at me through her teary eyes, ‘What do you mean? How do you know what goes down in Hell and what doesn’t?’ she asked.

“Because I…”

What do you think you’re doing! You can’t tell her who you are because a) she won’t believe you and b) she’ll think you’re a nutjob which will result in her kicking you out making you homeless and c) she won’t believe you!

“Because that’s where all the bad people go don’t they? I mean that’s what we’ve been told our whole lives right?” I asked.

“Yeah you’re right, sorry I thought you meant something else” she laughed through the tears.

Phew! Nice save, girlie pop. Also you made her laugh.

“You know” I started wiping her tears with my sleeve, “You look so much better when you smile not when you’re sad. And now you have me so whenever you do feel sad you can always come to me and I’ll try and help you best I can. If not then I will definitely lend you an ear’ I smiled.

She smiled gratefully before placing her hand on top of mine, “Thanks Aradia-san”

We both sat in silence sipping our tea and enjoying each other’s company, “So, what about your parents?” she asked me making me choke at the sudden questioning. I did not plan on this backfiring on me.

“Oh uh… my parents… umm…” I stuttered.

Come on, think!

“My family is complicated” I decided to leave it at that.

“Oh, how come?” Sakura asked me.

What the f-

I sighed and rubbed my temple I crossed my legs and turned my body so I was facing her, “I never really knew my parents. My Mum… left when I was born and my Dad left before I was born. He doesn’t even know I exist. I was raised by my Grandad and my Uncle, they never let me feel their absence, but yet again I kept myself busy in.. other ways”

By the time I had finished my story Sakura was crying and I felt a weird burning sensation in my chest which went up to my throat forming a lump, I felt something wet drop on my cheek and looked up to see what it was, but it was only when Sakura wiped it that I realise that I was crying.

I took a deep breath and looked at Sakura, “I’m fine” I smiled.

“Aradia-san, you helped me so I’m gonna help you find your Dad. We are not gonna give up until we do’ she smiles.

“Thank you”

I wiped the tears falling down my cheeks and looked at her, “Um, if you don’t mind I’m gonna go to bed, I’m really tired” I tell her getting up.

“Oh yes of course” she says and gets up wrapping her arms around my waist and placing her head on my chest.

“Uff”

I’ve never been hugged so I didn’t really know what was going on or what to do, so I did what I thought would be the normal thing to do and pat her head, “There, there”

When she finally released me I retreated to my room. I toom my t-shirt off but kept my leggings on and slipped under the sheets. The duvet was cool against my skin and the pillow was soft, the mattress just right. I swear I took a trip to dreamland faster than anything.

When I woke up the clock on my bedside table was showing 3:00am I tried to go back to sleep but decided I would much rather eat something seeing as I had skipped Dinner. Making my way downstairs I quietly crept to the kitchen making sure I made minimal noise.

By the time I reached the fridge I had only bumped into the sofa, almost knocked down a vase, oh and stubbed my toe against the cupboards that were underneath the counter, Ouch!

I made myself a cheese and tomato sandwich and ate that quickly. Man, I was so hungry I could’ve eaten a horse! Not that I would! Horses are so cute, I have two. I mean sure they’re made of fire as they were emerged from flames and they’re usually ridden by my two beta demons but still that counts… right?

Once my stomach was satisfied with the contents I gave it, I was ready to make my way to bed again. I slowly crept back up the stairs only tripping over once. Okay twice! Alright it was three times… geez!

When I woke up again it was because of the sun shining in my face. Reading the time it showed 9:00am. I felt so refreshed, I haven’t felt like that in a long, long time. I walked in the bathroom and splashed some cold water on my face before brushing my teeth and hair. I was halfway downstairs when I remembered I’m still shirtless… so I turned around and grabbed a sweatshirt before making my way down again.

“Good morning” I heard and looked in the kitchen to see Sakura making something, I have to admit it made my mouth water.

“Good morning, what you making?’ I asked standing on my tiptoes to get a better look at what was being made as I was standing on the other side of the counter.

“Waffles and Pancakes” Sakura announced making me jump up and down like a child while clapping my hands.

“Yayyy”

I then realised what I did and composed myself.

I clear my throat, “Umm thanks”

I quickly make my way to the living room while also hearing Sakura’s laughter. Honestly, I was bored and there was this funny square thing that was hanging on the wall, now I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself to act suspicious so I had to find out what that thing was and quickly.

“Wanna watch TV?” Sakura comes with two plates of Waffles and Pancakes.

Thank God!

“Yeah, sure” I say.

Sakura picks up something with lots of buttons and presses one, the TV blinks to life, I saw many humans on the TV. How did they get in there? I put my plate down and walk towards the TV and go to touch it.

Wait, if I touch it will it pull me in?

“Aradia-san?” Sakura’s voice breaks my trance and I look at her, I quickly try to think of something when I pick up the jug of water that’s sitting on the table underneath the TV and pick up a glass too.

“Oh.. I just wanted some water. Should I pour you some as well?’ I ask.

Nice save, again!

Sakura shook her head with a smile before putting something on.

“What’s this?” I asked.

“It’s called, Anime” she tells me.

I look at the character on the TV and then at Sakura and noticed the resemblance.

“Wha?” Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.

“You look like her” I giggled pointing at the cute little girl.

“Yeah?” she asked, her cheeks getting a little pink.

“Yup” I replied popping the ‘P’ before going back to my breakfast.
