Prologue

Okay I know that most of you won’t believe me when I say this story is absolutely true, every single detail except for the names because well if I told the whole truth someone would call the loony bin to come and pick me up, but I swear on my life and the lives of my friends that this story about me and my friends is true. So I’ve warned you that this story may be unbelievable but true now I have a warning for the rest of you who haven’t put this book down. I reveal secrets about things most people think are figments of imagination, nightmares, fairytales, well they aren’t so if you want to believe the world is all happy and perfect don’t read this book. Well that’s the end of my warnings hope you don’t die because you read it.
Welcome to the Living Hell!!

Chapter 1
A little about the writer
Okay so all of you reading this book must either be crazy or your just really bored because this story is out of control. Oh well here goes, my name is Arianna Fletcher I am just over 3,000 years old and I am a fire demon from hell. Bet you weren’t expecting that! I have seen the rise and fall of empires, countries and people and In many cases have helped the falls along. I enjoy chaos, the sun, hell, reading, music and surprisingly being a fire demon my favorite food is ice cream. I hate the ice and snow, hippies, tree huggers and most people in general. This past year I was exiled from my home, Hell, for not conforming to what the Council of Elders wanted, to join them as their assassin and all around errand girl (as if). So I was exiled to the greatest most wonderful place possible, FOR A HUMAN! Yeah, I was exiled to Vermont in the United States. I hated it, so green and so many unburned trees and so many people who just want to save the world. I actually cried it was so bad.
