9 Chapter 8

I slowly walked behind Asmodeus dumfounded with what I have found out about my life. Its been nothing but lies after lies. Did my family really adopt me and didn't tell me? I'm hurt and I don't know what to do.

    We reached my room and I told Asmodeus, "goodnight I'll see you in the morning." I shut my door and got onto my bed; I couldn't help the tears pour down my face. 

I was finally able to lay down after the crying fit that I had, my eyes had become heavy and the dreams waited for me to come to slumber. 

    The dream started off peaceful and happy. The dream was something that I have been waiting for now. A peaceful slumber. The dream started off with me of course it always did, and for some off reason it always got darker and darker as the nightmare progressed even more. 

    I saw myself standing and laughing over the falling bodies, I heard the voices speaking to me again. I saw the wings of the fallen covered in the fire and ashes of Hell. 

    I noticed afar someone was standing across from me trying to reach out toward me but is not able to reach me, before I screamed for that person to go away. 

    I ran and I ran looking for this mystery's person, I come face to face with this unknown person. I look up and peer into the face of my father Seth the God of Chaos.

  I suddenly woke up afraid of what I just seen in my dream. I can remember bits and pieces of my dreams; but this one felt so real and so close to comfort I don't know what I am to do now. 

   I got out of bed and went into the bathroom, splashed some water onto my face. That moment I looked up into the mirror the face of my father stood behind me.

   I couldn't help but scream bloody murder and I heard Asmodeus barge into my room. "Maddison, are you alright?"

   I know he is concerned, but I know I don't want to concern him with the problems I face on a day to day basis, "yes I'm fine thank you for checking up on me Asmodeus. You may go."

"You know me better then that Maddison. Stop lying to me and tell me the truth. What is wrong." Asmodeus got down to one knee and held onto my arms.

BbI looked down to him and softly whispered "You'll hate me for what I see and what I know about hell."

   "I will not hate you, because I know the real you and what you are to become." Asmodeus pleaded with me 

  "I saw my father in the mirror and I have been dreaming of him as well. I have the voices back in my head telling me to run and that I'm not safe here. I'm scared and I don't know what to do anymore." I spoke as I teared up

  "Maddison, I'm here to protect you, come with me quickly." Asmodeus took my hand and led me out of my room. 

Asmodeus led us through the tunnels and the rooms till he found the room he was looking for. I watched as he careful opened the door.

  "Each room in hell has a different view then the last room. Hell is about the sin the human has made or created. When the human gets sent down, they live in their own personal hell." Asmodeus spoke softly.

  "What do you mean?" I asked

  "I mean this room we are about to enter is my own personal hell. Even though I am a ruler of Baathion. I still fight through my own inner Hell." Asmodeus look down and opened the door. 

  I grasp as we walked through the doors to Asmodeus Hell. You can hear the birds chirping and a soft melody playing. We continue to walk and Asmodeus comes to a sudden stop, "shh, someone else in here I think." 

    I stayed close to Asmodeus not knowing what is going to happen next. We walked silently for a few moments till we reached the end of the path that we were following. 

   Asmodeus finally spoke up, "we don't need to be quiet nobody is in here."

   "What is this place?" I asked and I look around the trees were beautiful. The pedals fell to the ground the tree started to change colors.

   "This is my Hell Maddison, and this is the world I've became to known and love." Asmodeus spoke softly and I watched as his world change from this beautiful place to nothing but ashes and stones.

  "I'm sorry that your world was turned upside down Asmodeus, I wish there was something I can do about that." I whispered.

   "There is nothing you can do, my dear. This was my choice. I was the one who followed Lucifer down here. He made promises that he couldn't keep. That is why there are seven princes of hell." Asmodeus spoke coldly.

   "But there must be something we can do." I looked away.

   Asmodeus walked up to me and pulled me in, "the only thing left to do is to make you queen of Baathion and have you by my side for the rest of your human days." 

   "I understand, I'm willing to be there by your side, but may I ask what will happen after my human life ends?" I asked softly.

   "Each one of us princes are immortal. We cannot die, but we do have weaken spots in our time. Once you become queen the humanity that you have left with be replaced for the true destiny that you have to follow. You will become immortal just like I am." Asmodeus spoke and let me go.

   "I have to show you something, that may change you mind. It will show you the true me, and what you will become. I have wings that use to be whiter than the trees you saw in my Hell, now my wings are as dark as the night without the moon and stars." Asmodeus spoke and took off his shirt.

   Asmodeus turned his back to me and exposed his wings to me. His wings were as dark as a raven. I couldn't stop myself from walking up to Asmodeus. I extended my hand brushed my hand along the wings.

   Asmodeus shuttered as I touched his wings, "this is the real you?" I asked amazed. 

  "Yes, this is the real me, Maddison. Can you handle that?" Asmodeus said.

   All I could answer to Asmodeus was, "Yes."
