17-Fight.

But he's dead, but when I looked I could see him, it's him, how could that be, the fighter in the cage had the same curly hair, the one I called instant ramen, it's similar even when he didn't agree. It's the person who held me when I cried, my partner in crime, but he left me, he gave up, he left this world, he should be down in hell with the rest of the souls. I'm happy but I'm also hurt, they told me he died, that he ended it all, I saw him dead, I held his cold hand before they took him away. He jumped off the same bridge I tried to end things off, I knew that I saw him do it, I was there that night, I felt tears go down my face, they were freely going, not asking for my permission.

That night, it was one of the bad nights in the orphanage, one of our keepers got mad, Andy wasn't making much money as he did usual, he was slacking the job, he was sick, he needed a doctor, maybe I don't know what's wrong with him, but something was wrong. They wouldn't let us go see a doctor, instead, we both received a beating that night, a bad one, it left Andy feeling even sicker than before. I saw him sneak out during the night, they never cared if we sleep in the same bed, room, or if we sleep at all, we had no privacy ever, when he sneaked out, I followed him, he was walking like a zombie, or maybe a robot, he walked toward the river, I followed, but the river, the water, I'm scared of those. He stood on the edge, I wanted to scream no, but I was frozen in place, then he jumped, that's when my screams started. If I wasn't afraid of the water, I'd jump too, I would be able to save him, but my fear had the best of me, he jumped, and I screamed, and screamed, until help came, but help came way too late. They pulled a cold body out of the river, I held his hand, I saw them contact the orphanage, they sent me back, where I never saw him again, not even a funeral. But he's alive now, he's standing up and he's whining the match, I saw the ringmaster come toward him, lifting his hand up, he won, everyone cheered on him, but I had to see him now, I can't just leave without seeing him, without talking to him, I walked toward him like a butterfly walking toward the light, toward my death not even thinking about it twice.

People pushed me, and I pushed back still making my way to the front until I finally made it to where the cage was, and there he was standing, sweaty, few bruises and blood all over him, with more muscles than I ever saw on him, he looks like he ate, well that makes sense, he's been or supposed to be dead for about two maybe three months now, and he looks completely different. He was busy looking elsewhere until our eyes met, that's when he looked down at me, he was always taller than me, now he's as tall as a giant, or maybe just as tall as the rest of the demons. "Nova" he rasps, even his voice has changed, he sounds more mature, his sound is deeper, with a more dominant undertone. "But you died," I say hurt, a big part of why I wanted to suicide too was to be with him, was to not keep going alone, because I was lonely and hurt, but he's been alive the whole time, leaving me to fend to myself.

"I'm sorry Nova, I had to," he says, but I'm hurt, I don't believe him or his excuse, no one have to, I wouldn't have done it, suddenly I'm very grateful for Lucifer, suddenly I don't want to die anymore. "Andy, inside," a guy says, pushing him inside, this guy wasn't a guy, this guy had big fangs in his mouth, this guy was a vampire, and he's pushing him back inside the cage. "Stay here Nova, don't move," he says to me getting back inside the cage, the guy who pushed him saw me standing he didn't say anything to me, leaving me in place.

This time, Andy wasn't fighting with a human, he's fighting, with a werewolf, that reminded me of my small problem, I touched the top of my head but there were no ears, touching my bum, no tail either, Lucifer was correct, it's only hell and his presence, or maybe he lied to me all along and it's his magic that made them appear. I saw the fight begin, the wolf wasn't fighting fair, he's in his shited form, he's biting, attacking low under the belt, and Andy was losing, that got me angry, I didn't want him to lose, I just found him back. The wolf bites him again, he's going for the weak point, his stomach, his ribs, he was using Andy's height against him, I was worried now about him, but he won, he got him pinned by the neck pulling on his breathing pipe, he kept choking him until the wolf stopped fighting until he killed him. This wasn't the Andy I know, this was a monster, and I need to get away from him.
