Chapter 89: IS HE REALLY A MONSTER?

Stacy woke up to a loud screaming,

As two demons grab a little girl, still struggling,

The girl's mother quickly yelled for the demons to stop,

Although all was aware that the demons would not.

"Please...not my daughter! Just take me instead!"

"You are too old, sickly, not that good to be fed,

We are serving the child to a high ranking Lord,

We cannot just take anyone, some things we must avoid,"

The woman kept weeping as they take her child away,

With several young and teens, as the demons kept yelling, "Just obey,"

They kept struggling but nothing helped at all,

The demons were too big, while their muscles just went sore.

The woman shook Stacy, as she beg of her to pray,

"Beg for the angels! To save my daughter's fate!"

"One must not pray for angels, only God will have that right,"

"I don't care who you pray for! Just save my daughter! And prove the light!"

Stacy felt guilty as she bit her lips,

She looked at the child, so innocent and weak.

She sighed and prayed, that she be saved,

While she stood up from the ground, trying to be brave.

Jacob held her hand as he asked her what she's doing,

"What I think is right," She said as she kept smiling.

Jacob couldn't believe it as he too, stood up beside her,

"Just stay here, I'd go there," "No, we stay together,"

Jacob smiles as they beg the demon to save the little child,

And take them instead, "Is this thing we're doing suicide?"

"Jacob...hush, it's better than waiting for Death in that cage,

We can still escape here," "But how can we manage?"

Stacy observes the surroundings, and saw that there are tall windows,

(Although their could still be guards there, who really would know?)

As she was about to whisper, one demon seperated her quickly,

"No talking, you will not escape," The demon said quite seriously.

Jacob only eyed her, as he gestures she walk along,

Although his chest was already nervous of what could really come,

They saw the long line of people, all crying as they wait for Death,

Noticing a starving Beelzebub, who've forced not to eat flesh for days.

It gave him a very bad effect indeed,

As his body grew more terrifying, as he craved for human meat,

He felt saddened that he still can't stop his sin,

As he saw terrified children yell and beg as he unconciosly leaned.

"I said...no children!" The demon roared,

"Lucifer commanded it, and they're the only healthy ones on board,"

"I still strictly told you not to bring me kids too young,"

"We are running out of prisoners, this is all that we have so far,"

No longer able to contain his hunger, he agreed,

Although it gave him such a pain, when he saw who he's about to feed.

He saw those at the back,

A dozen teen and two adults,

He told the demons to bring them in,

"Surely at that age, those people have faults,"

The servants quickly did what's told,

As Stacy felt panicky, no longer composed,

Especially when she saw the form of Beelzebub,

Who looked terrifying, far above.

They locked the door shut so Beelzebub's feast won't have any chance of escaping,

And facing the Lord of Gluttony, sure was petrifying.

He smells of blood and saliva combined,

What's worse was that, there's no place to hide.

His sharp razor teeth could no longer be hidden,

As his nails appeared, although still quite shaken,

He looked so famished, and it was a deadly sight,

Just a few more hours, and he would by then completely lose his mind.

He knew the dangers of when his hunger completely takes over,

He once ate even demons, that to him have no power.

Even Lucifer had a hard time restraining his body,

As Belphegor and Asmodeus have to team up, just to chain him successfully.

It was hard to handle him without being killed,

Lucifer could slay him, but forgiveness he always give,

For some reason, the Devil was fond of Beelzebub's presence,

And was even thankful, he chose hell over the heavens.

He was lavished with everything the Devil could spoil him to,

But nothing felt satisfying, as how food could do,

It felt annoying how much time it takes for him to eat,

Among all sins, it was his, who's harder to keep.

His hunger tortures him more over time,

He gobble up flesh like an animal,

As the other Princes eat bread and wine.

He felt ashamed that he was downgraded to this,

An always hungry, always mindless beast.

He looked at Stacy, and felt nostalgic,

She looked like someone he knew,

Which made quickly him panic.

He wanted to back away,

But his hunger had chose to stay,

His body moved on its own,

As she yelled, in panic,

While Jacob's bravery had shown.

He quickly ran towards the demon with no hesitation,

Kicking his opened back, and tackling the demon.

Since his back was vulnerable, Beelzebub vomitted blood,

As he threw Jacob away, his eyes blazing, half-mad.

Orange eyes bore holes on Jacob swiftly,

As the demon rushed to eat him finally,

But Stacy threw her own shoes at the demon,

Confusing Beelzebub, of who to go after.

The people around them saw how teamwork could make a difference,

Than simply running away, as they wait to be eaten.

Though all young, they decided to make as much noise,

Distracting the now hungry-won demon, of what would be his choice.

He shrieked loudly, as his back opened again,

Revealing the four hungry beasts, he have within.

They all screamed, starving, but they kept being confused,

As the noise grew louder, quite unbearable and fused.

Beelzebub yelled, as his claws dug the floor,

While Stacy ran, hoping to open the door.

But before she could, she heard a loud piercing scream,

A child had been eaten, as their fears then win.

The children scattered as the demon hope to devour,

Beelzebub was, no longer aware of his actions.

Stacy cried, as Jacob stood to guard,

Although he was fearful, of what this thing was-how fast and wild.

He tried to distract the beast from eating other children,

As he used his marathon skills, to dodge him like a bullet,

But over time he feels kind of exhausted,

As the demon showed no slowing down,

Oh my, how unfortunate.

"Stacy..! Can I borrow your boots agains?"

"Ah, okay! Just...throw it away!"

The children helped Jacob distract the monster once more,

As he save time to catch his breath, hoping the demon would grow wore.

He held the shoe and tried to aim it at the beast,

But as unlucky as Jacob was, it really did missed.

Beelzebub smirked as he ran to attack,

As Jacob froze still, accepting he's a snack.

The children, to Jacob's amusement, had his back,

As they pulled the tentacles, and gave it a wack.

Their hands bled as the monsters were still sharp,

But they did their best, hoping their efforts were enough.

Stopped momentarily from attacking,

Beelzebub found it funny as the kids were trying.

Trapped in a delusion that everything was food,

He turned around, as the children ran as fast as they could.

One children was too late to let go of Beelzebub's tentacle,

As the demon pulled him up, and quickly came for the gobble.

Jacob hit his head with his own shoes, and quickly carried one furniture,

As he had trouble lifting the table up,

Three teens came to help with his failure.

Beelzebub laughed, as such thing cannot kill him,

While Jacob gestured the men, to go to the window.

Beelzebub didn't know what to make up of this scene,

As the children obediently followed.

The three teens managed to break the window,

As they grabbed pieces of shards, that could be used to dismember,

However Beelzebub felt like regaining his senses,

When he saw his reflection, on the small shattered lenses.

He wiped the bloody stains on his lips,

As he looked at the bones, and the crushed red meat,

He quickly ran to the corner, as he tried to speak,

While Jacob comtemplates, if he should kill the demon, seemingly weak.

Beelzebub cried, knowing his hunger would never be satisfied,

He was beyond repair, as he'd slowly turn blind.

He will lose himself, so he didn't attack when Jacob arrived,

Holding a sharp piece of glass, willing to cut him like knife.

He held the shard tightly,

As the demon only watched him calmly,

Despite the blood on his face,

Why does Jacob feel, that he's innocent in some way?

Stacy could only watch,

As Jacob made his first cut,

Making the demon wince in pain,

Alerting Belphegor, who was just passing the place.

Belphegor knew those wails,

Beelzebub made that noise, when he tied him in chains.

It wasn't a simple cry for frustration,

It was a pained state, a stronger emotion!

Belphegor quickly destroyed the entrance,

As Beelzebub laid on the floor, with no hint of resistance,

Seeing Jacob the nearest to Beel,

Belphegor felt wrathful, as Jacob's nightmare then became real.
