Lucifer's madness

Amira found herself in her room, in the same clothes she wore when she escaped from hell sometime ago.

Was it all a coincidence or was it really that time?

"Finally someone decided to wake up. Thought you would sleep forever". Christine's voice sounded from the door.

Amira turned her head to the door. Suddenly she felt like crying.

Christine quickly walked to her and sat beside her. "What is the problem with you? Did that Devlin guy do anything to you"? She asked in concern.

Amira hugged her tightly. Relinquishing the feeling of hugging her family.

"I miss you Chris. I've always thought about you every time". She said in nasal voice..

Christine's eyes tingled remembering that she would have been in her sister's place but Amira decided to bear the huge consequences for her sake.

"Thank you sister". She spoke also in a nasal voice.

"Lucifer what's the problem with you? Come back to you damnéd senses"! Devlin yelled in agitation. The person before him now was so frightening that he felt it was difficult to breath.

It's not like he wasn't always frightening but this was different.

Lucifer sat on his throne, stating down at Devlin and Miranda. He didn't know what happened but after Amira left, something within him snapped.

He felt that he was no longer in control of his body. It was as if he was a mere vessel.

How could he the Devíl have such feeling? Therefore he was so angry and wanted blóód!

He gritted his teeth tightly and after so much struggle he was able to get back control of his body but he knew it won't last for too long.

Hie eyes fell on Devlin who looked at him with hurtful eyes.

"Don't trust the Devíl Devlin.. there is a reason why it is written. I only stéal, kíll and destroy". Lucifer said in dark tone.

Devlin clenched his fist. He didn't want to believe that Lucifer was that bad but all that happened recently didn't make him optimistic.

He picked up Miranda who was bruised heavily and left. He didn't know what else to say.

Lucifer sat in the same position for sometime. "Come out"!... He said menacingly

Mikano chuckled and slowly appeared.

"Calm down Lucy. It's not like I'm doing anything bad".

"What do you want"? Lucifer asked without sparing him a glance.

Mikano grinned. "I can help you. You just have to say the word"...

Cool breeze swept across the trees, making the leaves rustle. The evening sun shone in the water, making it glow and become transparent.

Amira sat with a book in her hand which she was reading from. She had managed to escape from her father and sister's banter in getting a date for her coming of age celebration.

Its a good thing that they thought that Devlin may have traumatized her so they weren't persistent. It's not like it's a lie anyway.

Her gaze was drawn to the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. She had thought that the difference between earth and hell was that one was dark and the other was bright.

But being back here, she now understood many things she had ignored. It was not just the brightness. Everything on earth was worth appreciating especially the freedom of movement.

"Thank goodness I found you". Christine's delightful voice broke her trance.

Amira cursed under her breath. She wished she could hide till her coming of age celebration was over.

Her eyes fell on the man with her sister. What trouble did the girl being again?

Christine pulled him closer. "Let me introduce him to you. This is Lord Caven, one of the four Lords of Venera".

"Hello Princess Amira. I've heard so much about you from your sister". Caven greeted politely and kissed the back of Amira's hand.

"It's nice to meet you too Lord Caven". Mira greeted with a tight lip smile while glaring at Christine.

Christine clapped excitedly. "Okay... I'll leave you two to get to know yourselves more". She slipped away back to her father.

Amira felt awkward as none of them said anything. We'll the guy just kept staring at her. She cursed her sister for putting her in this awkward situation.

"Would you like to go for a walk with me"? Caven asked. His face had an obvious look of expectation .

"I wouldn't mind.. but I've been walking round this palace my whole life. Shall we go to somewhere else"? Amira proposed.

Caven smiled triumphantly.

A dark shadow appeared just as soon as they left.

"Tell me more about yourself princess ". Caven said intriguingly as he led her through the streets.

Anita chuckled. "Trust me, being a princess is the most boring thing one can experience".

While they were walking, a vortex appeared. It was pitch black and vibrated with energy. The more you look at it, the more you feel like your soul is about to be sucked in.

Amira pulled Caven's hand and walked back cautiously.

Caven was alarmed and his first reaction was to pull her behind him.

"What's the problem Amira? He asked.

Amira pointed at the place without looking. "There... There is a black vortex right there".

Caven looked ahead but found nothing. "There is nothing but people here". He said as a matter of fact.

Amira looked back and just as Caven said, there were only people. Her mind fell into chaos. Was she hallucinating?

Her hand holding his, subconsciously tightened. She was too scared to walk past where that vortex was initially.

The vibe it gave was like that was the road to hell.

While she was thinking, she bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to". She apologized quickly and picked up the cross pendant necklace that fell then returned it.

Caven held her closely and walked away, using his body as a shield for hers.

The man who was dressed in a light coloured cloth, held the cross pendant necklace in his hand and watched as it caught fire and dissolved into nothingness.

His brows jerked up in surprise. 'As little as she is, she is already dinning with the Devil.'

Most humans take many things for granted. He stared at the little lady one more time before leaving with his hand behind him.
