"Pssst! Sharmel!" I can feel someone shake my body and I slowly getting awake "stop it...!" I groan and pull my arm away as someone tries to pull me. "Come on, you will be getting late for your first day here"

First day? First day of what? It's already fourth qu- that's when I realized that something, I open my eyes and jolt up, looking around to my room I make a small yell so it wasn't dream at all... Nancy look to my reaction thinking I must have gone crazy.

"It's not dream after all" I sigh deeply and I look down to see a uniform at my cover lap.

"Get dress, I won't wait for you. I might get late" Looking up, Nancy was already dressed to her uniform.

No doubt, she's the daughter of one of the demonic demon. Darkness students uniform are like that same as the lightness, their uniform is stylish unlike as the unclaimed is plain and simple.

Why do I care anyway, their uniform is so boring and it's hard to walk at them as well! Rolling my eyes, Nancy finish her make up on and leaves our room.

After dressing myself up I went out. And as soon I got out, only just two or 5 steps, Immortal stop their chattering and look at me in hateful look. Well what did I except for? I am the "unclaimed" I want to roll my eyes when I heard a voice and follow it.

And I wish I just didn't because what I saw was another unclaimed thrown at the ground while the immortals laugh at him "you better know your place, unclaimed!" Said one of them and laugh before they left.

Poor guy...

He was badly injured and tries to get up to pick up his things, feeling pity and guilty inside, I went to him and help him out.

He flinch and look at up in surprise, In hand him his book with a small smile on my face "here" he took it from me and thank me before he left.

I sigh and look up to the grey sky "I guess it's going to rain" I mumbled while I couldn't stop thinking from the happening to me yesterday.

Yesterday...

Two unknown humans or not humans at all, let's say immortal capture me while I was wondering and admired their world. The immortal is sill grabbing me by my arm, we've walking non stop and I have no idea where they taking me. The two are Demons base on their wings, and it's no doubt that this will be their temper.

"Where are we going by the way?" I ask them but none of the demons reply at me. So arrogant, didn't know it exist here. Everything here beautiful with weird animals like bird has tree eyes, turtle with growing plants on their backs and others. The world is different.

The demons suddenly stops and took something on his pocket, to my surprise, it's the same key that Keisha give me. Oh my god... So the key is from this world, but where did Keisha get the key?

I didn't dare to say anything and it's better to be quite than saying anything, the key I have is useful for me.

"Clavis Azumonis, aperi portam!" I raised my eyebrows "ah what is he-" my words were caught off when the key glows and it goes to between the trees just like earlier when I got inside.

The portal reveals, the other side is like a castle "are we going to see your queen, or maybe your king?" I joke but the female immortal glares at me "shut up and follow us" I was bewildered follow you really? don't need to follow you around when this guy over here already pull me with him as if I'm his girlfriend taking me back home.

The demon pull me again and drag me inside, once we're at the other side, it was dark outside probably nighttime. And fireflies are everywhere.

They keep pulling me along with them and we we're inside the castle, one of the guards look at me "Ah, another unclaimed, welcome to the Arts of Academy" he welcomes me with a smile, and I can see that he has wings "are you a angel?" I can't help but ask and he burst to a laugh.

"Why of course I am, young unclaimed! mortals like you are a welcome here" he gives me a smile. At least one immortal welcomes me warmly unlike these two.

"You're making yourself as a joke, mortal like her should never welcome in our world" said the female demon before we go inside the gate.

My jaw almost drop to what I'm seeing and even everything is dark from the night, it sill look stunning and beautiful. So this is how their academy looks like in this world. Sill pulling me along with them, I had enough so I took my arm off from his grips.

"I can walk by myself and no need to drag me like I'm some dog" I hiss at him showing him that I am not tolerate who treat her that way. The demons only give me a cold stare, but it won't scare me. "Fine, follow us but don't try to ran away"

The demons let me go to free myself walking, I was amazed to the academy, the art and building are amazing, there is also a painting at ceiling that look like a renaissance art.

We stop at the huge door, the demon guy knocked, hearing a faint voice "come in" shivers me. It was hoarse, raspy and cold voice, it's a voice of a man. The demon open the door and look at me urge to follow him inside "I'll just wait here" the demon girl didn't follow and obligate to just wait for her companion outside.

The room was huge, like a ballroom. white, silver, and golden yellow color of the whole room. Our steps are echoing, I look and my eyes widened to see two or more Archangel, their seats were at top that Almost reach at the ceiling.

"Who is this with you? Another mortal" the demon bow his head and glance at me and raise his head then look back to them "she is, councilor. We caught her after we saw her wondering around" I look down to hide my grimace didn't know wondering around is illegal.

My eyes dart to the councilor, his skin is pale as white, his hair is silver long with small braids, he wears appropriate tire with long cloak, his eyes are green, and his face is serious. There is no doubt, this guy is a angel. I can feel myself shiver just looking at him.

As if feeling my gaze at him, the councilor's eyes look at me and I immediately avoid his gaze by looking back down. Damn it, do every immortal feel someone's gaze looking at them!?

Biting my lip to curse myself when I heard his voice calling me "raise your head and look at me, child" I don't know when my head up but I did what he said.

His eyes looking straight at me with his serious face, he look so young, same age as me. But I know he is a immortal and lives thousands of years, maybe he was still alive before I was born.

Looking at him feels strange as if the world stops around us, we continue to look at each other. I raise my a one eyebrow and he smile as if he had his fun watching my reaction.

You think I'm scared of you? Ha! I'm getting out of here anyway! Or that's what I thought.

"I can see your a brave one, strong yet reckless girl" she make a grin face "really?" I blurt out all of a sudden and the demon give me a glare to shut me up. And I just scoff and cross my arm.

"You're interesting creature, unclaimed. This is the my first time to see a moral talk back to a immortal who had power over you" I glare at him and control my temper to avoid making a fight scene. The councilor look to the two demons as if he tells our conversation to each other are over.

"Take this unclaimed to her room since she already here. She won't be able to go back to her world unless she age" he said making my eyes widened. Rest of my life? I have to stay here for rest of my life?

The demons supposed to grab me but I throw my arms off hysterically and I snapped "That's bullshit! You can't keep me here, take me back now!"

The councilor smile at me but his smile made me uncomfortable and realize something that I regret all my life. "Her life will be starting from here until she died among the unclaimed" he reply and nod to the demons as if saying that our conversation are over and they took me away.

Present day...

I wish everything was just a dream, a nightmare dream but when I wake up, all I expect went go down in disappointment. "Hey aren't you unclaimed?" I turn my half body and saw a angel coming towards me "yes, I am. Well as you can see" I wasn't interested to talk so I turn away.

"You're late in your class, you should go" I sigh and without a response I just walked out of way and head to my class.

It's hard to find my class that I need to ask directions, after minutes trying, I finally found the room and got inside.

It's just like the angel said, only unclaimed are in this room as we're not a immortal. The room is just simple like a classroom in mortal world. And the teacher wasn't there yet as well.

"I want to go home"

"I can't stay in this place longer!"

"I'm not a immortal, so those creature can easily step down at creatures like us"

"I wonder how my mom right now? She must have wonder where I am"

"I can't stay here! My grandma is on the hospital and I want to see her, she is the only family I have!"

Those are the words that I heard from the other mortal. I dart my eyes to one of the empty seat and sat down on it, the room is fill with the voice of begging mortals, crying to go home, others are not in themselves due to depression and stress, others are now in deep haze...

The door freaks open and everyone stop talking. A angel with a pile of books on his hand walking with a clicking sound at the marble ground, all of us are silent on his presence and not say anything afraid to get harm by him.

"Well, everyone is already here, I hope" his voice rang through the room. the door shut with a loud bang, everyone took glance to each other before looking up back to him. "Now, I am Angel Filicio, and I will be your teacher for your spiritual." Everyone whisper, confused by his words.

"Each of you will have a given task, and you will do it even though you're just a mortal. Unlike us, immortal can do the task easier because of our energy and it's not hard for us to do our task." Angel Filicio clasps both of his hand together behind his back looking each one of us.

"Soon, you will discover your own abilities if you train hard" he said before going to the table and took one of the book that was piled in.

"Now, each one of you will have a book just like this" he lift the book, the book is color brown with golden written saying the spiritual for unclaimed everyone look at it as if waiting to see the book.

Angel Filicio gave us a book one by one, I flip to any pages and slide my fingertips to the pages. Chapter 1: the rules for unclaimed, Chapter 2: the abilities, Chapter 3: the history of unclaimed and immortals. And many more. holy mativilious! This book is not just for us but also it also has contex and history!

Inside me is filled with surprise and excitement, who could ever thought that I will learn so many things inside this world. or so I thought?

"Watch where you going, unclaimed!" while walking, I accidentally bumped to someone because I was too focused to the things that was in my arms trying to adjust them. I swear Angel Filicio really put us in the hard work!

"I'm sorry" the demon look straight at me with annoyed look "you better know your place unclaimed, don't you ever cross the line here. Do you get it?" She said with her eyes Looking at me from head to toe before she walks away bumping my shoulder that I almost fall to the floor.

What's wrong with her? I never knew there is also such a spoiled girls here in this world. That demon girl is really a demon. Looking away from her, some immortals look at me with a hated look, others are just whisper while their eyes are still on me. I walk despite of my embarrassment to myself.

"Students of darkness and lightness, the upcoming tournament will be just in few days!" Everyone stop to listen to the announcement others just walk past by "so get ready, sit back and relax to enjoy the show! Thank you"

The door of my room open just before I'm opening it. "unclaimed?" The demon girl that I bumped with was there, I look behind her to see Nancy. "She has a name, Astrid" Nancy roll back her eyes and grins at me "come on in Sharmel" Nancy push Astrid away from the door.

Astrid just scoff and cross her arms to her chest "you do realize that she is unclaimed and creature like her are forbidden to talk with us or be friend with us" she glare at me but Nancy just shrug her off.

"So what? The rules didn't even say that we're not allowed to talk to them. It's up to us if we can be friends with them" Astrid just grin bitterly "it's the same thing!"

"Sharmel, why don't you join us?" Nancy ignore Astrid and talk to me instead, I look at her bewildered "to where?" She smile at me and pull me along with her.

Nancy just drag me out of our room dragging me somewhere.

We're out of the academy at the rooftop, I look at Nancy confused, behind her is Astrid folding her arms to her chest "why are we here?" I look around and two other immortals standing at the rails. They turn around to see us.

"Well, well, well, the unclaimed is with them!" Said the other with a grin on his face. His not a angel or demon. "Greetings unclaimed, as I'm, Jorge the great wizard!" He bows at me in medieval style, I look at Nancy and whispered "wizard?"

Nancy shook her head and roll her eyes "He isn't, he is the worst wizard in the academy" "Hey! That wasn't nice to say it" the wizard grimace disapointed from Nancy's words, and Nancy just shrug her shoulder "not a problem, wizard" she reply and place her hand to my shoulder.

"My dear friend, the reason why you're here it's because you will do something, it's a traditional for unclaimed, let's say, it's a welcome greetings for unclaimed" Nancy push me forward gently to see a... huge sling shoot?

"What is that thing doing here?" Nancy push me making me hold the railing. I look down to see the other immortal shouting while looking at me watching me to sat at the sling.

"Um.. I think it's a bad idea to-" but before I can even finish my words, the demon pull me and made me sat down at the sling "get ready or not! Make sure to hold on!" He shouted "wait what-" without a warning, he pulls the strap of the sling and let go.

I scream in horror as the sling was flying out and there was no safety that my body was thrown out from the sling "oh damn! I told her to hold on!" The demon laughs while I was falling.

Oh my god! I'm about to fall! Shit! I close my eyes waiting my body to hit at the ground but instead, I was flying.

I slowly open my eyes to see a angel that I met yesterday, or rather the councilor save me from falling. He caught me with his arms, his wings slowly making us going down.

I never see him this close, his face look like snow white, pale as snow... and his eyes are beautiful, it's like it lit up with his emerald green eye. He look attractive to be a angel.

I caught my breath when the councilor suddenly look at me, our face were close that we almost kiss. He raised his eyebrow "aren't you going down?" His voice is raspy and hoarse that sends my shiver down to spine. "Ah, yes, yes... I-.. I'm going" I got out from his arm and strengthen up my clothes.

I look up to see Nancy, Astrid and the other two immortal, I gave them a glare look. "What is the meaning of this? did you, all immortal waste your time to make the unclaimed fall for your tricks?" He looks to others with displeasing look showing that he was disappointed to them.

He then look at me "and you unclaimed, you decide to fall at their trick?" I avoid his gaze and said "I'm sorry" I heard him sigh under his breath "go back unclaimed, I'm sure you have something to do right now" I look up at him and bow my head a little before I leave.

"As for you all, I won't tolerate this" the councilor spread his wings giving the other immortal last look before flies out on the air.

So this is how my new life with them, seem like I will have a hard time here... I fall out to their tricks...
