"Fucking monster" Shout the guard while throwing the body of Noah back into his cell.Noah AfterLife, the "Justice" killer, lay bleeding and broken in his cell, his body racked with pain. Five years of torture and agony had taken their toll.
The guards had pushed him to the limit that night, using chemicals to erode his flesh. His skin was now a patchwork of raw, exposed wounds, and his body was contorted in agony. But even as he struggled to breathe, Noah refused to give up.
He knew that Judge Camilion was watching, reveling in his suffering. The corrupt judge had made sure that Noah received the worst possible treatment in Alcatraz, one of the most secure prisons in the world. As he closed his eyes, he still remember that day in the court, five years ago.
The air heavy with the stench of justice gone awry. His mind echoed with bitter thoughts, "It's funny how twisted life could be," he mused, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Do you have anything left you want to say?" The man in front of Noah, Judge Elcies, coldly intoned, his small hammer clutched in his hand, draped in a black robe that seemed to absorb the very essence of the room. Beside him, Judge Camilion, the prosecutor, glared at Noah with eyes brimming with hatred.
Noah's gaze shifted between the two judges. With a small, defiant smile, he spoke, "It's a shame that I could only bring justice to your daughter, Judge Camilion. I sincerely hope that she learned her lesson, in the end."
Judge Camilion's eyes twitched in response to Noah's words. "Lesson?" he spat, "What kind of lesson could she learn? When all I have of her is her fucking ear!"
Enraged, Judge Camilion lunged towards Noah, but two policemen restrained him. "I will make sure your life is as miserable as it could be! You heard me!? You heard me, son of a bitch!?"
Noah's smile persisted as he glanced back at the covered faces of the jury. "Everyone is a familiar of... them... no wonder the decision was so quickly made," he thought.
"For unanimity, the accused for torture and killing, Noah AfterLife, also known as the 'Justice' killer, will be sentenced for a lifetime in the prison of Alcatraz."
And so, at only eighteen years old, Noah found himself sentenced to one of the most secure prisons in the world.
......................................
"So, this is the end…" Though Noah.
Although his will was strong, the flesh was weak.
His body was at it´s limits.

"If I close my eyes… I won't ever open them again…" Said Noah.
As Noah's conscious left his body… the image of a woman came to his mind.
She was beautiful, with her red curly short hair and white skin, her blue eyes seemed to reflect the earth itself.
To Noah, she was the most important person in his life…
Or at least she was.
"Remember this, little bird, justice always comes, no matter what, don't lose your faith."
Remember her, Noah couldn't hold his tears and his blue eyes become moisty.
"I am so sorry, big sis… I fail to protect you…"
"I couldn't bring justice… to you…"
"I am so sorry…"
As the last tear fell from his cheek.
Noah AfterLife died.
Or so…
He was supposed to.
"You know, I have always feel a certain… fascination… for humans…"
Noah opened his eyes, feeling the sound of the voice.
"Who…" Said Noah.
As he opened his eyes, bath in the moonlight shadow, there was… a figure.
It was like a shadow, although it has a human figure.
"Who…" Asked Noah.
"You know me, human boy… or at least, you have heard from me…"
"You have heard a lot~ from me "
The shadow showed its white teeth, making a creepy and terrified contrast with it's black figure.
"From you mother" Said the shadow.
In a second, memories from those horrible days emerged in Noah's memories.
"PRAISE! PRAISE THE LORD AND YOU WILL BE SAFE!"
"NOAH! NOAH! NOAH, REPENT YOURSELF SO THE LORD MIGHT FORGIVE YOU!"
Noah closed his eyes.
"Forgive me son" Said the man who looked at his son with eyes of pity and sorrow.
"You shouldn't have been born…" Those were the last words of his Noah's father.
Before he hung himself in front of little Noah.
"YOU EVIL'S CHILD!"
"HA!" Noah opened his eyes, sweating.
The memories of those days surged like a flow, trying to destroy the little bit of sanity that Noah had.
"Don't be afraid, little bird…"
"Justice will come…"
Just as he was about to disappear in the darkness, the memory of his sister once again saves him.
Noah controlled his breath until he opened his eyes and saw that the shadow was still looking looking at him with the same mocking smile.
"A demon…" Said Noah.
"Exactly" Said the Demon.
Noah looked at the demon and smiled helplessly.
"I guess cursing the big boss of one side makes you the ally of the other side" Said Noah.
"Yes and no, although you humans indeed know a lot about how thing works in heaven and hell, there is also a lot you don't know, for instance, how are you judge after you die" Said the demon.
Noah was a bit skeptical because, although he hates to admit it, he knew a lot about demons, because most of his childhood he though that he was one, and the first thing that he was though about demons is, never believe anything that a demon tells you.
So, he wanted to see how far of the words of this demon were true.
"Really? If that is so, I guess you could tell me your name?" Asked Noah.
The demon looked at Noah for a few moments before laughing like a madman.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU ARE SO OBVIOUS THAT IS ACTUALLY FUNNY, HAHAHAHAHA" Laughed the demon.
"So you think that I will actually tell you my real name?" Asked the demon.
"…" Noah didn't answer.
"Of course It wouldn't be so simple" Though Noah.
"I wouldn't mind" Said the demon.
"What?" Said Noah.
"My name, you want to know it right?" Said the demon.
He stood up from the bed and He brought it closer until it was at the height of Noah's nose.
"Human boy"
The demon's face become clearer as a per of huge wings emerged from its back.
"Yours truly is one of the seven princes of hell"
"The one who represents the sin of wrath"
"I, my boy"
"Am Azazel"
Said the figure with a smile.
