At the corner of the computer reads, 4:15am.
A creature came out from under the floor. It has black bat-like wings and crimson eyes. A girl only looked at the creature, her eyes does not show any signs of shock.
It was very usual for her, very usual, indeed. She went back to typing.
"Why are you still awake?" The demon asked.
She only shrugged. The demon only stared.
"Just go back to your duties." The girl said dryly without looking at the demon.
The demon melted back down and out of sight.

We are all aware of our legends and stories.One of them, is the story about having a guardian angel. An angel, destined to protect us no matter what. However, in every yin, there is yang, heaven and hell, night and day. If there are guardians who protect us... surely there are those who do the complete opposite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started 8 years ago.
It was the day when Alice was walking towards a particular house. It was rumoured that someone had comitted suicide that morning. She looked around but couldn't even see the gate of the house. All the other villagers were trying to find out what happened themselves. She was only 7 years old then, so she didn't bother anymore and left.
On her way back, a guy came out of nowhere. He literally came out from under the sidewalk, through the cement, in front of her. As if he was a hot steel against frozen butter.
"So, I was assigned to you, huh?"
HOLY CRAP HE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! Alice touched the ground he came out from, rubbed it, punched through it - regretting doing so.
"What the hell this little girl doing?"
Alice looked up. She saw a man, dressed quiet too formal for one afternoon walk outside. Polo and tie... the whole sheebang. His jet black hair and silver eyes met hers. Alice stood up straight and reached out her hand to touch the mystery guy's body. Perhaps curious, on what his body was made of to be able to do the impossible.
"What the?!" The guy suddenly jumped up, revealing bat-like wings.His eyes became crimson red. He flew a few feet away from Alice.
Alice gasped. Staring up at the monster in the sky, she pointed at him and yelled. "OH wow, thaat was cool!"
The monster tilted his head. "You can see me?!"
Just then, a flash of light from the sky erupted. Too bright to see, Alice squinted her eyes. It revealed a glowing man with blonde hair and blue eyes.Unlike the monster, he had silver feathered wings. Alice had never seen anything so majestic.
"Yes, she can see us, demon." The Angel confronted the demon."At least, you cannot hide from her. I can."
"Quit your babbling." The demon spat. "They have sent an angel like you to protect her against me? HA!"
"For someone like you, Seth." The angel started. "I am enough."
"Oh ye- wha- where's the brat?" The demon flew a few feet higher and saw the girl, picking up some of the silver feathers the angel has been dropping.
"They're so pretty!!" As soon as Alice had enough, she threw them back into the air, and spun around with her arms spread wide across. The angel moved closer to Alice and gave her more of his feathers."I will protect her from you." He gave her a nice soft pat. "No matter what."
"Hey, brat." The demon landed and strode towards her. The angel stood up and blocked Alice. The girl only tilted her head, enough to see the demon."Why do you want to go into that house?"
"I heard my brothers talking about someone killing himself there." Alice innocently said."Such a sad thing."
"Yes, it is, isn't it?" The angel had added. "Life is precious and should never be ended by anyone or by themselves, they only belong to God."
"Blah blah..." The demon rolled his eyes. "It ended all his problems."
"Problems?" Alice asked the demon.
"Yeah, like when you can't get a candy out of a jar." The demon smiled. "If you kill yourself, you'll get loads of candies and end your problems - "
"ENOUGH!" The angel gave out a burst of light and wind altogether. The demon only gave its best laugh.
"Stupid." Alice frowned. She walked towards the demon, the angel only held her hands, but can never fight against her will. "Without your body that you killed yourself, you can never taste those candies. You should've asked nicely. Mom will give me whenever she can."
"Not everyone has mommies." Demon stepped closer to her.
"Brothers, sisters..aunts, cousins, friends..." Alice started going on and on. "...enemies."
The angel only smiled and hugged Alice. She reached for her pocket and took out a lollipop. "Here."She stretched out her hand to the demon. "Ask nicely, and I'll give you one."
"I told you demon." The angel stood up, facing the demon. "I am enough."
