"Well, you certainly know how to shut up than the rest of the "freaks" here." Sheila said, looking back at her screen.
Jin snorted with his elbow on Sheila' table and his jaw on his palm, his head tilted to the side. "Trust me Sheila, I've known him for an hour and shutting up is just him being a fake ass bitch–" he yelped lowly when Sheila smacked his hand away from her table.
"Alice Idohosa, you have been requested to be placed in the Wrath dorm." Sheila was reading from the screen.
"By whom?" I couldn't help but ask.
Sheila gave what I was beginning to think was her usual blank stare. "I think you have an idea Alice," she replied and in my mind I could feel my head say the magic man.
Jin, who I'd forgotten was here chipped in. "Why would he be placed there? That place is for legendary beasts."
Sheila didn't answer him, simply pulling out the paper that came out of the printer and handed it to Jin. "Take him to his room, let him get settled please," Sheila replied.
Jin sighed and wasted no time to capture my arm with his smaller hand and began to pull me out.
"I–I've still got questions—" Jin didn't let me complete my sentence when he began pulling me away.
Jin had a scowl on his face as he pulled me.
"Would you stop holding me so tightly?" I asked Jin who continued pulling me.
I rolled my eyes. "Jin, can you just loosen your hold? Jin? Jin? Jinny? Wait, is your full name Jinny?" I found myself messing around in my words as he paid me no mind.
Jin stopped, turned around and pulled me closer. He breathed through his nose before turning away from me and knocking on a particular door with– Daddy_Nikki_Sempai plastered on it.
I raised an eyebrow at Jin. Jin paid me no mind when he stopped knocking and barged into the room. He really did like barging into rooms.
We were greeted with the sounds of hardcore moaning, and a familiar face sitting on a chair with his pants on his knees and his hands moving up and down on his dick.
"What the fuck!!" I shrieked, but Jin seemed the least bit affected by what the boy on the chair was doing.
The boy stood up abruptly, pulled his pants up and turned his laptop screening porn off.
"Jin, what the fuck are you doing in my room dude?" He asked through pants.
Jin for the umpteenth time rolled his eyes. "Jerking off again Nikki? Not surprised, anyways you've got a new roommate try not to fuck him or murder him." Jin said, Nikki and I opened our mouths to speak.
Jin raised a hand. "Both of you, stay away from me, and don't talk to me." Jin gestured at the two of us as he spoke before walking away.
Nikki and I turned back to each other. Nikki stared at me for a while before walking quietly into the bathroom.

Hell, Hells Teen institution for the damned, August eleventh, Wednesday fifteen eleven pm.
It rained again on Wednesday fifteenth, after I died on Saturday eleventh and went to hell that is.
Wrapping my hands tightly around my chest, I cried profusely on the ground and shaked as the antsy feeling spasmed within my body. My lips trembled and my mind screamed at me to let go. I just needed a fix to calm me down, to push the shadows that screamed and shrieked at me to let them out so that they might feed.
Tears fell from my eyes, and I kept shaking my head hoping the voices would disperse if I did. I sniffed and slowly raised my eyes up to Tade's television. I could see my eyes, an unnatural eerie purple, and my hands, consumed with unharmful purple and blue flames. I didn't know what to do to hold them back. Even worse I could see my shadows reeling out of my body at their own will and there was little I could do to stop them.
"Fuck you!" I yelled at the demon staring back at me from the television, and grabbed the TV remote by my side and threw the thing at my television, smashing it's glass.
My shadows were growing stronger and I could see their cracked reflection along with mine on the smashed television. They smirked and chuckled evilly, knowing just a little more time and they would be at full strength to hunt for victims.
Malice and hate filled my expression. "Fuck you! You hear! You will retract!" I yelled at the shadows, and that seemed to enable them as they chuckled harder, sucking from the lack of control at the moment.
Suddenly there was a fumbling of metal noise from behind the door. I could hear the low breathing of Tade. My breathing hastened and fear shot through me. Fuck! I was fucked! Tade couldn't see me like—
"Alice?" The entire reality smashed like a mirror and all of a sudden, almost instantaneously I was shooting at policemen, then I was on the ground, then there was loud agonizing screaming from different voice, there was smoke from cars, there was a white man in black, my shadows were laughing at my weakness, the magic man tapped his umbrella on my chest, I was tumbling down a hole then–
"You did this Alice," said the thunderous voice of one of my shadows as it grabbed a little child, held on to both sides of her and began to expand her.
I went into shock. I couldn't breath, I couldn't move, all I could do was watch.
The shadow laughed evilly as he began tearing the girl into two, expanding her and ultimately tearing her apart while she screamed.
"No!" I yelled through a soft sob as my eyes suddenly flashed open. Then everything flipped, I shuffled back seeing a familiar face leaning down at me with a slightly friggin' knife in his grip.
walking into the bathroom without a word.
New chapter!
Alice's povNigeria, Lagos state, Ikorudu street, twenty twenty one, august eleventh, Saturday, nine pm.It was raining, August eleventh when I made my way out of the car and tried finding the bar I was sent to.I fingered my clothes as I nervously followed Tade to the bush bar. I shouldn't be doing this, I knew that. I shouldn't have let Tade cajole me into this gang shit, I knew that damn well but I couldn't turn back. My body trembled, probably from the chilling rain or most likely the fear of getting killed or caught but my mind couldn't back out.I needed a fix so bad, I didn't mind what I was about to do, or the consequences of them.Tade, being shorter than I was, easily entere
My body shook as Kzee's eyes widened and his body slumped on the ground as he suddenly became lifeless. More bullet noises racked all over the bush bar as Tade's shots fired and those of Tade's gang spies in the area.My control was slipping through my fingers– literally. The colored thingys around my hands were seeping down to the ground already creating the shadows that lurked around me. I clenched my jaw and balled my fist harder trying to rediscover control. If I couldn't retract the colors around my hands they'd cause a massacre that would spread throughout this town.I'd seen it happen before. It would happen again if I couldn't control myself.I all of a sudden jolted when sirens blared. I still felt my control as well as the hot, intense power within me deep th
Alice's povAugust fourteenth, Tuesday.August fourteen, I never thought I'd die. No I did know one day my pathetic life would come to an end, I mean when you're responsible for mass murder you become quite aware that death would come knocking down your door at a very young age.I just never thought I'd die so pathetically. It was bad enough that my life was so pitiful but did my death have to be so unmemorable that I died with a couple of gang bangers?Death felt peaceful though, never thought I'd have a peaceful life after death since I wasn't the model citizen during my time alive. It felt oddly nice that I could find peace in the dark, and just be– whoosh.
My breathing was so fast that I clutched my chest with the pen in hand and glanced back to check for the beast.I turned back around and yelped very loudly. The man-shaped figure or rather the guy currently flying above me began to slowly come down on the large tree branch with his green, no intense dark green eyes on me.His mildly curly platinum blonde hair at one side and bright green bangs on the other fell, after being blown by the wind, on his milky white face as he finally made it down on the tree branch.Almost my height, he looked like he would barely reach my shoulder, and dressed in baggy clothing. He was wearing a baggy sweater with white polka dots around the circular neck, an

"Whoops, I'm not sure we're allowed to use that word, seeing as we're in "hell" and all that," I sassed again."Usually inmates are brought kicking and screaming, guardian, continue with the sass and I'll throw you out the window." He grated, and I glanced at the glass window with red designs that told strange stories.Guardian, there was that word again."I–well, inmates–" I shut up when he stopped in front of a door.He stayed silent, staring at the door con
