Chapter 1: It's a Job

"Your total come to twenty-one ninety-five, 'mam. The DVD's are due back in a week." Victoria said, in a low attitude tone.

"What? I said I wanted them for two weeks, you little snob!" Said the lady, getting huffy already.

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry 'mam. Let me ring that in for you..." Victoria trailed off, trying to keep calm as she hated not being able to snap back at customers like her. 

"You better." The lady snapped back.

V typed in and added the charge for the extra week. 'God this woman is annoying. First she expects me to carry all her rentals and pick up whatever she knocks over, and now she exzpects me to read her god-damn mind...' Victoria thought as she finished and read back the new total to the customer.

"Your new total is thirty-five ninety-six."

"That can't be right! That is way to much! You little b***h! You're over charging me!" Raged the lady, turn in red in the face. It didn't seem to take much to get her to do so. Plus it didn't help with the way she was dressed: in a see through white T-shirt that was at least two sizes too small, and pajama pants that were a little more than skin tight. And the lady was no where near average weight, but way over the 'risk of obesity' scale line. 

"I'm sorry 'mam, but that is your total for all ten DVD's, and the extra fee for the seconds week you requested." Victoria explained, trying to keep her voice under control. 'Ugh! I hate this. Damn free loaders. I at least work for what I get." She thought to herself.

"Still too much!" Raged the woman. "I demand to speak to the manager! Now!" 

"Okay, please give me a minute to go get her." And she turned towards the hall behind her,  after making sure the drawer could not be opened and grabbed the DVD's. She walked back 'If you try to get me fired your gonna faik b***h. Manager. Shes my sister.' She thought and knocked on the door to the office. 

"Yes? Open." Rang a females voice from behind the door.

Victoria opened and stepped inside. "Hey Marsh. A customer wants to speak with you. Complaining I am 'over charging' her."

"Ewe. Really? Another free loader I'm assuming?" Was Marishica's reply.

"Yeah. Brace your eyes. She quite a sight." V said with a cringe.

"Fantastic. A b***h too I assume?"

"You got it."

"Great." Marishica said with an eye roll and walked out the door after taking the DVD's from Victoria. 

"God, I can't wait to be done with this place." Victoria whispered, working at Prime Time Video wasn't exactly her ideal job. Especially since she did not deal with hpthe public well. But it brought in money, and money for her was always scarce.

"Excuse me! The customer is always right!" Screamed the free loader.

'Oh god. Just shut up.' Victoria thought. Her and Marishica had enough s**t to deal with, let alone adding on this free loading b***h. Victoria had been on her own for a few years,and Marishica had been the same for even longer. Though Marishica had it a little easier since she could stay in one place for a long time. Victoria not so much. She always just got settled and into a comfortable routine and then someone would find her,whether it would be an ex or an angel. It was always someone. And it happened no matter where she went. 

'Humans don't know how easy they have it. Being a demon was anything but easy.' She thought as she thought back on the previous years. Her and Marishica weren't extremely close as sister's but they were the closest in their family.

The door opened and Marishica came in raging, "God! The nerve of some people! She was such a b***h! She walked out without paying! Without the DVD's though, but still!"

"Hey atleast I warned you this time!" 

"I didn't think she was THAT bad! But I was wrong!"

"Hey! You know I hate humans more than you! I can't stand the pettiness and the tendency to be overly annoying." 

They got along, her and Marishica, but they didn't see each other often. When they did they made it a point to help the other one out as they could do so. This time Marishica got Victoria a job and invites her to stay in her apartment with her. I'm return Victoria paid half the rent and food bills each month. It worked well for the time being and let each of the build a little bit of savings. Which was extremely rare for them both.

Marishica walked behind her desk and sat, looking at her computer. "Hey it's a seven. Take your break."

"Sweet. I'm going to Sheetz. You want anything?"

"Ummm... Sure. Grab me a Venom. I need a good pick me up."

"Red as usual?'

" Orange if they have it. Red if not."

" 'Kay." Was Victoria's reply as she walked out of the office and down the hall, past the counter and out the door. 'I can't wait to be done today.' She thought as she ran her fingers through her long, blood red hair. It was her natural color, but as she was in the human world, she said it was dyed. If anyone asked she did it herself from a boxed color from India. And the stupid humans always believed it.

She rounded a corner and Sheetz was in view, only two blocks down. She broke a sweat already. 'Why does it have to be so freaking I hot?' She thought and with a snap of her fingers a breeze suddenly came, blowing her hair behind her. 'Ah. Much better.' She thought with a smile as she reached the parking lot. 

Air was her favorite element she could control. She loves being able to do thing like that, and she loved how she could get her elements to do almost anything for her. Fire and air were her two, and she stayed loyal to them. 

She walked to the door and whispered "thank you" and the breeze dropped as she opened the door to be met by a blast of air conditioning. 'Thank goodness for AC' she thought as walked towards the coolers where venom was stored.

She grabbed an orange venom, a low carb monster, and a bag of sour cream ands chedder chips, paid for them and walked out. She didn't even make it through the parking lot before calling the breeze back. 

She rounded the corner to Prime Time and almost ran into the free loader from earlier.

"Watch it you ditz!" She snapped.

Victoria just rolled her eyes and walked back into work. After going back into the office she tossed Marishica her venom.

"Thanks V. Oh and great timing. The b***h from earlier just left. She came back liked a minute after you left. She found a coupon."

"Ugh. Of coarse she did. She get all ten?"

"Yeah she did. But you'll love this. I made her go find all of them again."

"Fantastic! The exercise did her good!" 

Both women smiled and laughed and Marishica's eyes lit up and she exclaimed "Hey! Wanna go out tonight? After we clean up I mean?"

"Sure! Its almost close now isn't it?" Victoria said, as she opened her monster and drank a little.

"Yep! And bonus! I don't have to count drawers!" And Marishica did the same as Victoria with her venom.

"Sweet. Club? And normal dress?"

"Yes and yes! I mean as queen I must protect my place! Plus it is so me. Sexy and mysterious fits me perfectly. You dressing the norm?"

"Yes, and sassy sexy is my terf. Now let's get out ta here ASAP." Marishica said with a wink as she shut down her computer.

"Definately." Victoria agreed as she walked out to go start closong up.

Author's Note

This is just as an intro to the two main characters. You get a taste of what they're like, what they are, and a slight taste of what they can do. I apologize for a few missing "s"s as well.

I really liked reading this. It was very descriptive, fun and left me wanting more. The only thing I was confused about was the characters identify. Are they demons posing as humans or humans thinking their demons? Other than that I would like to read more.

[V.R.Esme]

I'm glad you're enjoying it! And to clarify they are actually demons losing as humans. I will try to see if I can either edit that in this chapter or make it more clear in the next chapter or two. Thank you though! That's a big help! :)
