Sabera's Pov
"RING," the final bell rang.
Yes, the school day was over. Now I could have some fun with KC for my b-day. After begging my parents to let me go and 50,000 house chores later, I was given 200 dollars. I was going to spend the last part of my birthday doing one of my favorite things, bowling. I loved to bowl. And KC promised he'd take me. I decided to wait for him in the small courtyard beside the back door of the school. It was a tiny little place where KC and I sat for lunch most days. With an old well turned table and a nice flower garden. The courtyard had once been the old biology teacher's, but she retired last semester. The only reason it stays weeded is KC. He likes plants. About 10 minutes later my best friend walked out.
"Ready to go?" he asked
"Hell, yeah."
We went to KC's car and sped off towards down town. Once parked in the bowling allies parking lot, I unbuckled my seatbelt. KC was at my door before I knew it and he opened it with his hand out.
"My lady, are you ready for the best night of your life?" he asked with a 100 wat grin.
I stifled a laugh, "Well thank you sir and yes. I'm going to kick your butt."
"We'll see," he chuckled
The allie was dead and I mean really empty. Where was everyone?
KC seemed to read my mind, "I rented the whole place out for just us."
He seemed unsettled. Something was up. But I didn't say anything. We continued to one of the alleyways where a big blue banner read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SABERA" on it. There was presents stacked as tall as me on a table beside the seats. Everything was dark, except the area we were at. As we got closer, I noticed a candle lit table with grilled chicken cabobs, fries, a massive cake, and soda pop. I admire KC's efforts.
"So, what do you want to do first?" he asked
I thought for a second, " Presents!"
We sat down and KC handed me one present after the other. First was a scarf, then high hills. Followed by a whole outfit, drawing supplies, earrings, and necklace. The last thing that he handed me was a card. I opened the envelope. It was shiney blue, with a candle.
On the inside was i message, " Sabera, I know we've been friends for ever. But now I have to tell you that I love you more than that. I want you to be mine. Please be mine."
I was stunned. KC, my only friend was in love with me. I looked up from the card to find KC on his knees holding out a blue rose.
I couldn't help shuttering over my words, "KC. I don't know wh..what to s..say."
A confident smile spread across his face, " You could say yes. Sabera I've been waiting for the right moment to tell you."
I looked into KC's eyes, something there scared me. His eyes were slowly turning RED. What the hell? Suddenly, the dimly lit alley seemed darker than before. My hair stood on end and my mind screamed, "RUN!"
"KC," I laughed nervously, trying to slip out of my seat, "I think I should go. Um.. If Dad sees me come.. i..in late, he'll k..kill me."
KC's eyes had become completely red now, his smile menacing as he rose from the floor
"But babe, you're an adult now. If you want I can take you away," he took a step toward me.
The rose he held wilted, man what have I gotten myself into?
"KC, you wouldn't hurt me, would you? We've been friends forever." My mind was starting to fog. I heard a sinister laugh," The KC you know is a lie, Sabera. He never existed."
I started to run to the door, but right before I could reach it I was knocked to the ground. The weight on me was so heavy. I could no longer breath. "Help me," I cried, but hardly any sound came out.
Another laugh made me want to puke, "Don't worry kid. It'll be over soon. You see I'm not making you pass out right now. That's your reawakening. You are finally of age and your power is going to show itself soon."
I was so confused, "Power?"
"Yes, power. You are at your weakest right now. Your ripest too." I felt his wight lift but I still couldn't move.
"What do you want? Why me?" I asked crying more.
"You are the only reason I've starved myself for almost 15 years," he licked his lips. His tongue slithered like a snake, "You are so special, Sabera Morningstar. You just never knew it."
Morningstar? That's not my name. What is happening to me? My body started to jerk. Pain shot through every nerve, "What is happening?" I screamed out.
"Oh, sweetie, you're almost ready. Your power is manifesting," KC's voice was full of delight. It made me sick.
The last thing I remembered before I passed out, was a big pair of shit kickers knocking KC to the ground.

Cain's Pov
Taking that asshole down felt great.
Cain had be circling the bowling allie to find a way in. The lower demon had found a shield amulet to hang over the door. It was powerful enough to keep Cain out. But the dumb ass didn't know you had to put one on every entry for it to work right. Cain had found a back door covered by a hill of empty crates and bounded in. The smell that hit him, when he finally ran in, was intoxicating. It smelled of lillie and water falls. She was awakening. And Cain had to get to her.
When he entered the allies he saw the demon standing over Sabera. She was fighting the change in her, though he knew she was in pain. Anger filled Cain. His fists bowled, Cain bolted at KC. He was aware of only two things. One, Sabera needed time. And two, this bastard was dead meat.
The two demons slammed together. Like rock against rock. Cain pounded on KC's face until, KC kicked Cain in his manhood. Though they're demons doesn't mean that that hurts any less. Somehow Cain ended up under KC. Who started knocking the crap out of him. He tasted the blood that came from his busted lip. Cain tossed KC to the other side of the alleyways. However, not before KC plunged a ruby hilted dagger in Cain's side. He pulled it out.
"Shit!" It was a hell blood dagger. This dagger was the only thing that could really damage a high level demon. Only ten were made. One for each of the guardians of Hell. Plus one for Cain, to help protect Sabera.
"Where did you get this?" Cain spat.
KC laughed while tearing a large piece of wood from the end allie out of his gut. "I took it 20 years ago from the guardian I was tortured by. But let me tell you something rape and murder was all worth it." The laugh that came from KC sent shivers down Cain's spine. To be a murderer, let alone doing something like that to a female or even a male since you to one of the darkest circles of hell. This demon was nothing to mess with. His eyes, they were red with blood and rage. Without the ability to heal, due to the dagger, Cain was in deep shit. KC started to run toward him like a bull. Cain close to eyes waiting for the impact. He had felt Sabera's change being complete she wouldn't really need him after this. She'd be strong enough to defend herself. Besides, he wasn't much used to her in his current state. The daggers of the Guardians were meant to drain demons of their power. Even if he dodged now, there's still be a chance he wouldn't survive.
Out of nowhere, a strong, intimidating, and beautiful voice yelled out, " Fuck off, KC!"
Cain opened his eyes to see Sabera standing in front of him. Her entire body glowed with the power of the Fallen Angel she was indeed Lucifer's daughter.
