Epilogue: The next day:

"Ava, Ava Russell." Silence. "Ughh. Guess she's not here again," Mr. Kollins angrily said.

"Here. I'm here." Ava replied.

"Great to see you here for once," Mr. Kollins muttered.

"If you don't want me here, I can leave," Ava replied.

"No, no, no. I want you to stay and actually learn," Mr. Kollins replied. "As if that would happen."

The class murmured, "Wait, what?! Ava is actually taking class? What happened yesterday?"

"You guys shut up or I WILL kill you," Ava screamed.

"Alright class, time to start. Shut up and sit down," Mr. Kollins screamed. "Alright class, what does this poem mean? It teaches a life lesson.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

"I don't know," someone in the class said. "What's the point of learning this?"

"I think it means that one decision, foolish or not, can change a person's life. The speaker took a path and that changed his whole life," Ava answered.

"You are correct, Ava. I'm glad that you are participating in class," Mr. Kollins smiled. "What changed your mind?"

"Nothing. I just wanna study now," Ava replied.

Heather smiled.

~~~~Lunch~~~~

"What changed your mind?" Heather asked.

"When we were in the demon world, I had a vision that my gang will die, because we didn't have a counterattack plan. Now in the future, I want to plan my attacks and take my education seriously," Ava replied.

"That's great to hear," Heather smiled.

~~5 years later~~

Heather became a successful businesswoman and rebuilt the Wu's Family treasury. Ava became the mafia's leader and successfully takes down all of her enemies. Heather's dad survived and now Heather's mother lives in the slum, looking to seduce more blue bloods for money. But, Heather made her mom broke and unable to get any money to get back at her.

Heather Wu

"Hello, dearie," Heather's mom said.

"Who are you?" Heather replied, faking innocence.

"W-what? You don't recognize me? I-I'm your mother," Heather's mom stuttered.

"I'm sorry. I don't have a mom. The only mom I have is long dead. The only family I have is my dad, my brother, and my best friend Ava. My mom threw us away for a millionaire. The millionaire doesn't want her anymore, so I guess karma?" Heather smiled, knowing this will rile up her mom.

"I gave birth to you. If isn't for me, you wouldn't be alive. At least spare me a million dollars," Heather's mom fake-sobbed.

Heather knew she was acting and said, "Get out of my house. Go back to where you belong. Bye."

Heather turned around and left her. Her mom resumes living in the slums. Serves her right.

Ava Russell

"How are the new squads doing?" I asked my secretary, Crystal White.

"Great, your plans for them are working so well that they have all but forgotten their grudges against you for taking their mafias down." She replied with a sly smirk on her proud face.

"Great. Okay, work is finished for today. I'm off to see my bestie. Bye!"

"Tell Heather I said hi and thanks for her help and corporation in our business!"

"Sure! Oh, Dad, Mom! What are you doing here?" I opened the door and I found my Dad in his regular formal suit and Mom in a beautiful dress.

"We can't come visit our precious daughter at her workplace?" Dad asked.

"No, no, no. Of course you can! It's just a surprise to see you here. I'm going to see Heather."

"Our lazy daughter became such a hardworking person. I wonder if it is because of sweet Heather." Mom then ushered me down the stairs and said, "Now go on. Go see your friend and say hi for us."

"'K, Mom. Bye!" As I went down the familiar staircase from my childhood, I thought about the day we met the demons. That was 5 years ago. Where change happened. Heather was here before to get me out of bed. Hahaha.

As I rounded the corner, I saw a tall figure that I could recognize anywhere. "Heather! You came! What, did you miss me?"

"Who would miss you? I came to pick you up for our visit." The figure turned around and there was the person that accompanied me down into the demon realm to help me, Heather Wu.

"Whatever, let's go. You have the ring right?"

"Yeah, let's go."

~~~A few seconds later~~~

"Hey, long time no see Belphegor!"

"Oh, has that time come already? What do you two want to do today?" A winged figure turned around and flashed a smile. Belphegor.

"Nothing, in particular."

"Then, let's go visit Kurai!"

And off we went.

(Ava and Heather goes to the demon realm once a week to visit the demons and to make sure they don't raise suspicion from their parents.)
