" you still have an option to blackout !?"

Lucifer voice echoed through Davina's ears. it would be a lie if it's said she wasn't thinking of turning around and running away but when everytime she closes her eyes , there is a vague image of alex standing there looking straight at her .

maybe it's her wolf trying to find comfort in the deepest yet darkest corner of her conscious . she took a deep breath turning back at lucifer , smiling widely at him.

" needless "

his lips twitched upwards in an evil grin as he heard her words .

" . i hope it's worth it. " he said leaning on and ruffling through her hair . A glorious, chilling hue popped against his long dark, lashes as he stared at her.

lucifer leads Davina through the gates of Hell, marked by the haunting inscription "abandon all hope, you who enter here" . They enter the outlying region of Hell, the Ante-Inferno, where the souls who in life could not commit to either good or evil now must run in a futile chase after a blank banner, day after day, while hornets bite them and worms lap their blood. Davina witnesses their suffering with repugnance and pity. lucifer then takes her across the river Acheron, the real border of Hell.

suddenly loud voices of people crying, begging for their lives were being heard. their pleads, their cries of death, . each and every word was clearly banging in Davina's ear, making her cover them in pain and suffering. the cries were way too loud but what's bothering her was the familiarity in them.

"From hence are heard the groans of ghosts, the pains / Of sounding lashes and of dragging chains . the one who died from your hands. " she could only hear his voice now. the black darkness had returned to her once again.

her whole body was freezing as the temperature around them suddenly decreased to the lowest possible. her shivers could be heard from far as a thin layer of ice started forming where she was standing.

she kept on walking ahead in dark, not knowing where she was heading to but her mind was telling her to get away from here as fast as she can.

" L'enfer, c'est les autres." A valet leads three characters to a windowless room, which is Hell. To what torment are they condemned? Each other's company. In the course of the play, the characters probe each other's sins and bring alive their guilty memories.

"There's no need for red-hot pokers."

The unrepenting are made to confess their crimes, and sent down into a pit, guarded by the lord of death itself , where they wallow in impotent violence.

It was a little dark when she opened her eyes again. the door from which she entered was vanished entirely , like it wasnt even there. there was no sign of Lucifer anymore. she tried calling for his name but she got no response .

Her entire body ached and she hadn't even moved yet! Her eyes slowly adjusted and wandered around as her brows knitted

Abi took a step further and immediately stepped back winced in pain as a sharp object peirced through her leg. she looked down to see a warm liquid flowing from her leg. it was her own blood.

she was terrified and her knees began to weaken. She had a hunch that if she walked any further, she might die. Who knew what else was out there! she stood frozen looking at the endless darkness in front of her . it was dark yet cold .

the atmosphere around her suddenly changed from dark and cold into bright and blazing warm. her eyes widened as she realized what just happened. she couldn't grasped what she saw.

Davina next proceed to the walls of the city of Dis, a city contained within the larger region of Hell. The demons who guard the gates refuse to open them for her , and an messenger arrives to force the gates open before Davina.

there were many paths in front of her, all leading to some unknown directions.

the first one leads to the the Panderers and the Seducers receive lashings from whips; in the second, the Flatterers must lie in a river of human feces. The the Third one hang upside down in baptismal fonts while the paths was directing the glowing yet burning sensation to the ground. it looked a like a volcano must have errupted there and it was nothing but lava errupting through the ground.

she knew exactly that it was where she is meant to go , her feet started burning with fire as she took the first step to the paved way. her body was already aching in pain. a type of pain and burn she never ever had felt before. it was coarsing through her veins making her blood boil. her heart was beating rapidly at a speed that she was feeling like it might burst out anytime.

The action begins with the path paving the way to the place, where a guard was standing around, with found chained to a lake of fire in Hell.

was there she meant to go? was he waiting for her? there were all types of thoughts going on in her head . her leg was still bleeding heavily as she dragged herself to anywhere but to be standing at a place for more than few seconds. the burn radiating through the floor was hot enough to burn a normal human into ashes.

she could see many colors dancing in those flames her skin on her feet were started to burn. she had no idea what to do and where to go . there was no exit to this place and the path she came from was already gone . the only thing which was there was that guard standing with chains hanging beside him.
