I was sitting on my desk watching the liquid mirror in front of me, that sat on top of my desk. I was reading the last week's updates; the new damned souls that keep arriving every day, the demons that misbehaved once again, the sight of demons on earth, the angels' activity.

I was sipping on my favorite whiskey and scrolling through the names that were doomed to Hell when a soft voice called my name. My eyes automatically closed and the image of the person summoning me popped up inside my mind.

Her silky soft voice relaxed me on the second and her sweet scent invaded my senses.

What is it about this girl?

For the last few weeks, wherever I went I found her in front of me. Τhe one-night stand, her stealing my necklace, me following her and watching her for over a week, trying to find out more about her. The only thing I knew is that she is the daughter of Madison. But I didn't know who she was, what she was... I decided to let it go and return to Hell, but there she is again! Jumping on me, while I enter the cyclon.

How is she even alive after the transition from the world of the living to Hell?

She has the necklace though. How did she get the necklace?

She also had something else... I found her irresistible, magnetic...Something powerful drew me to her and when she was around I couldn't even think straight.

I shook my head violently, cursing at myself for even thinking about her like that. I focused on the image and my eyes opened, widening immediately, my nerves on edge. I felt my whole body tense up at the awful sight and my left eye twitched again, as I sensed both of my irises changing color.

She is in Hades' realm? How? How did she even escape from the cell? How did the demons let her even step out of the cell room? And why is Hades kissing her? This can't be fucking right.

I felt a painful blow being delivered to my chest as the air was punched out of my lungs. My heart ached and all I could think about was Hades' hands on her. On Eli. My fists clenched and unclenched multiple times, as the beast inside me started to scratch its way out, wanting to be freed. I tried to suppress it because if I let it loose I would probably do something I would regret.

I stood up immediately, furious, and ready to pounce on Hades. All I wanted was to rip his guts out. But I stopped myself a second before teleporting.

What am I doing? Why am I getting so frustrated over a girl? A human?

I closed my eyes again and watched her make out with Hades, his hands grabbing everything that he could as hers tried to hold on to his shoulders. My fists clenched tightly, my knuckles cracking and turning white. A growl left my lips as I could feel the darkest side of me trying to come to the front.

No, it's not worth it.

I have to calm down immediately, or else I won't be able to control it. I have to stop this. Now.

I thought about Hades' realm and I instantly transported to it. I was leaning against the wall, opposite them. The image from up close was even more frustrating and disturbing but I remained calm.

I crossed my arms on my chest and watched them make out. Hades' hands were everywhere, touching her everywhere, sliding on her almost naked body.

My nostrils flared and my jaw was set, my teeth painfully clenched.

Calm down, Lucifer.

"Having fun Hades?" I spoke up, putting up a front. Playing it cool and calm.

Hades' back was facing me so all I could see was her petite legs, wrapped around his waist and her hands trying desperately to hold on to Hades' shoulders. I saw Hades' body tense up for a split second.

"Ah! Luci!" Hades spoke up, trying to catch his breath. Eli's soft, and sharp breaths relaxed my body and mind. Her heartbeat was increasing by the second and I could hear it very clearly.

I guess I have an impact on her too, I thought smugly to myself before mentally punching me.

"Hades," I said bitterly, always keeping my calm posture. "It's always nice seeing you."

His big, chunky, monstrous hands were holding Eli's small waist, letting her down. Finally.

Her body untangled from his and her small feet touched the ground. I found myself eager to see her face, my patience running thin.

Hades moved to the side, turning to me. There she stood, with her messy and dirty hair, and with her also dirty and smudged body that was filled with scratches and open wounds that I caused. She was breathing heavily and she looked at the ground in front of us, her hazel eyes darting around like she was in deep thought. Her disheveled appearance intensified my anger, and I felt a pang of jealousy in my chest.

Jealousy? You are Lucifer King dammit! Behave like it!

I puffed out my chest as I took a deep breath and tightened my hands around my chest, my muscles bulging out, catching Eli's attention.

"What may I do for you today my friend?" He asked and his signature, sarcastic smirk found its way on his lips. I looked back at Eli for a split second, not wanting to show her any more attention.

She was looking at me, expectantly. Like she was waiting for something. What is she up to again?

I made eye contact with Hades, still looking calm, and collected.

"I believe you have taken something of mine," I said, my face hard as stone as I looked at his yellow eyes. From my peripheral vision, I could see Eli's surprised face, laced with a little bit of confusion and success.

Did she want this? Did she summon me on purpose? Just to make me jealous? But how did she know that I would be jealous?

"And what would that might be?" He challenged me, lifting an eyebrow.

"This human is my prisoner. You had no right to take her from her cell without my permission." I challenged back, my arms clenching on my chest. Eli's face fell and she let out a huff.

My demonic side was smirking at me, satisfied that I let her down like that.

"But she's just a girl. A dead soul waiting to be escorted somewhere. She's insignificant...right?' He said, smirking at me and sneaking his filthy hand around Eli's waist.

My eyes turned to Eli's, her eyes capturing mine. Her gaze was igniting my mind and warming my insides. How is that even possible?

My face remained hard and unmovable. I straightened up, moving away from the wall and I fixed my suit, not breaking the eye contact.

"Yes. Yes, she is." I said and cleared my throat. "Now hand her over to me and you can continue with your boring life."

"No, I think I'm gonna keep her for a while. Make her life last a little longer before eternal damnation." He said, still smirking like the asshole that he was. He knows something is up.

"Wait a second I'm not d-"Eli started and I made a quick, sharp move shutting her up before she could finish her sentence and mess this up.

Shut the fuck up! I said to her inside her mind, watching her closely. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words were coming out. I temporarily took her voice so she wouldn't speak up and make her situation worse. I smirked at her sad attempts to speak, as Hades glanced down at her.

The perks of being the Devil.

"No one spoke to you human. Spoke only when referred to." I said, my eyes never leaving hers.

"That's very rude of you Lucifer. She wanted to say something," Hades' annoying voice sounded again and I mentally groaned at how stupid he was to fuck with me and take what's mine.

Let me speak you bastard! She shouted inside my mind. I took one quick step forward, grasping her neck tightly, completely ignoring Hades. Like the coward he was, he jumped out of my way, knowing his limits. Good boy.

I brought my head down, our noses barely touching. Her small hands wrapped tightly around my wrist and I fought so hard the urge to connect our lips and take her right there and then. I looked inside her scared hazel eyes that were staring back at my angry red ones.

"We're leaving," I said and transported to the cells, leaving Hades alone in his realm, probably confused and thirsty for answers.

I felt a strong wind hitting me from all directions, and it felt like punches were delivered to my body making me whimper in pain. Suddenly we were in the hallway outside the cells. The temperature had increased drastically and the hot air hit my face harshly.

Lucifer was in front of me, his hot palm still around my neck as he was breathing heavily at my face. We locked eyes while his breathing became more and more ragged and uneven. His eyes change from bright red to dark and back to light, flames burning proudly inside them. I felt the tension built up in the atmosphere and he looked to the side, his hand uncurling from my neck, both our hands dropping by our sides.

He's angry. Now is your chance to play with him a little. But be careful.

What do you mean play?

Just make it look like you head a plan all along, like you wanted to make him jealous and not because you couldn't control yourself with Hades. Act smart.

I thought about her words for a few seconds and it was true that I wanted answers. Why am I here? Why am I alive? Why did he come to take me away from Hades? Why is he angry?

"You look frustrated," I said the first thing that came to my mind, realizing that my voice was back. To be honest, a little teasing wouldn't be that bad. After all, he completely destroyed my life, so I might as well mess with him while I still can.

Now you're talking, she spoke up, purring excitedly.

His electric blood-colored eyes snapped to mine once again and he tilted his head to the side, challenging me. I tilted my head too, like a confused puppy, and looked at him with the most innocent eyes I could muster.

"What happened Luci? Are you jealous?" I said, pouting at him. Whoah! Where did that confidence come from?

No reaction.

He was just standing there, staring down at me. Then he took a step forward, our bodies colliding. I felt the warmth emitting from his body and engulfing me as I closed my eyes in bliss. The smell of fire, wood, and whiskey invaded my senses and I almost lost it. I felt his hot fingertips touching my cheek and in a second he aggressively grasped my jaw, his claws extending and digging in my cheek.

A gasp left my lips and my hands grabbed his wrist again. He scanned my face slowly, drinking in my mess. His eyes switched between red and black as he growled lowly. My heart was beating loudly, scared to death but my mind somehow remained calm.

"You are being incredibly stupid and bold," He whispered but his voice was guttural, deeper than before." You actually had the audacity to assume that I, Lucifer King, the King of Hell, was jealous. And for whom? You." He adds, tightening his hold on my jawline, his claws digging in my skin and drawing blood, making me hiss.

"Oh but I was right, wasn't I?" I whispered back, watching closely for his reaction. His pitch-black eyes snapped up to mine and the black expanded, consuming his whole eye.

Bingo, she said nastily. Keep it up! Drive him crazy!

"Oh, I knew it," I whispered and a sinister smirk crossed my face. Deep down I was kind of terrified because his empty eyes were so painfully emotionless and frightening to look at.

"You don't wanna make me angry human" He spoke but his voice was distorted, sounding like a creature from the underworld. My face fell for a split second, his new voice throwing me off guard. But then I crossed the line, smirking up at him. Wrong move.

"I made the King of Hell jealous!" I shouted, and roars and cheers started echoing from the cells. I continued smirking as I watched Lucifer's upper lip curl upwards twice and his left eye twitch.

Bam!

One minute I was standing and the other I was on the ground. My eyes were tightly closed, my body aching all over and my head ringing loudly. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw the black stones on the floor. My hand found the back of my head and I felt the warm substance dripping down my scalp.

Not again, she said angrily. Stop hitting your head, for Hell's sake!

My vision blurred as I looked up. Lucifer was standing in front of me, his chest moving up and down while he breathed. I tried to stand up but I felt something step on my chest and pushing me down. Being completely weak, I couldn't fight back. I opened my eyes again and I saw his foot on my chest.

This asshole is stepping on me!

Do something! Show him that you have the upper hand, the voice yelled inside my mind.

But I clearly don't! This was your stupid idea! Make Lucifer jealous and bullshit! Find a way to get me out of this.

"Luci-" I started but he immediately pressed down harder and I felt the air leave my lungs. I gasped and grabbed his ankle, trying desperately to lift his foot off my chest, but to no avail. I started coughing violently, my body shaking.

"I could kill you right here, right now, with the snap of my fingers!" He growled loudly. His hooded eyes were piercing through mine.

"T-Then why do-don't you?" I said, trying to breathe. As I looked deep into his eyes, for the first time, I saw the confusion inside his endless black holes. His foot relaxed a little, and I could barely breathe now.

He didn't know...

Yes, Eli! Continue!

"You're c-contemplating it... why don't you..why don't you do it?" I spat out, in between coughs and gasps. My vision filled with black spots and I couldn't focus on anything. After I said that he pressed harder down on my chest, blocking any air from coming inside my lungs.

Lucifers's confused and angry expression disappeared from in front of me, as my eyes blurred completely.

I couldn't see, I couldn't speak and I couldn't breathe.

I felt unconsciousness swallowing me up as my eyelids closed.

I stirred in my sleep and I moved a little, trying to get comfortable. But as I moved my body, I felt the incredible amount of pain that my body caused me. My head, my chest, and my legs hurt so bad and for a while I stayed unmoving, trying to get used to the pain.

After a few moments of me drifting back to sleep and waking up from the pain, I raised my hands and touched the main source of it, palming the side of my head and pressing down on it.

Groaning slightly and holding the back of my head, I stood up into a sitting position.

Am I back to Hades realm?

No, I don't feel his aura, she replied.

Then where am I?

I actually don't know...

Touching my head, I only now felt the soft fabric against my fingertips.

Is that a bandage? Did he actually treat my wound?

Thinking about this act of kindness from the Devil, I slowly half-opened my eyes, looking at my surroundings with a blurred vision.

I was sitting on a soft mattress with burgundy satin sheets, draped around me. In front of me, there was a huge fireplace made out of black marble. The crackling fire was lightening up the room with a soft yellow glow and it was the only source of light. I looked at the side and saw a small suede couch in the color of blood, with a small coffee table placed in front of it.

Yeah, sure...coffee table, the voice in my head mocked me.

Ignoring her, I scanned every little detail of the room. It was pretty stylish and modern, making me contemplate whether I was in Hell or not. The only thing I didn't find was a door. There wasn't a single door or sign of an exit from this room. There are no windows, no doors, no passages. Nothing.

So I guess I'm still in Hell.

Lucifer probably transported you in here and left, she said.

I looked around the room once again and sighed knowing that I couldn't do anything to get out. I glanced down at my body, knowing fully well that I would be naked underneath. I lifted the sheets and did a double-take as my eyes fell on a simple black shirt that clung to my body. I lifted the shirt and saw a pair of male boxers that were too large for me. I'm dressed? Are these Lucifer's clothes?

I stood there for another few minutes looking around the room and wondering what can I do. I couldn't go anywhere, that was for sure.

Should I summon him?

Yes.

But what if he hits me again?

Don't act like a baby. Call him.

Why do you like him so much? You keep praising him and you are more than eager to see him. All he did to us is cause us pain and suffering. I was receiving medication for him! We are in Hell Goddamit! Can't you see that he might have killed us? I might be dead because of hi-

Enough!, she shouted inside my mind, shutting me up. Do not talk about our King like that. You are so naive Eliana. You can't see in front of your eyes. Your eyes see it but your mind is blind. You are alive...in Hell! , she emphasized.

What the hell are you saying? Our King? Who...Who are you?

Well, I guess we have more than enough time to discuss now that you are safe from any intruders, she said and paused for a second. My name is Kara and I'm a succubus. From the day you were born, I stood right beside you, protecting you. Your mother called m-

Wha-

LET ME SPEAK! , her deep voice echoed loudly inside my head.

Your mother called me while giving birth to you. She summoned me and asked if I could possess you and protect you. In exchange, she promised me eternal freedom after the purpose is fulfilled. Eternal freedom in my home, Hell. Do you know what freedom means for me? How long I have waited for it? You are my ticket to freedom Eli.

I stood there, frozen in my place. My eyes were open wide and frozen looking at the bedsheets. My vision was blurred from the tears that morphed inside my eyelids. I felt two stray tears fall down my cheek. This is all so scary and confusing...

Ho- How? Why? How did my mother know you? What the hell is a succubus?

A load of questions flowed into my mind.

A succubus is a female sexual demon. Every night we visit the males of the earth to seduce them while they sleep. We are a little different than what your mythology says. We can actually possess and live with a human being. But it needs a certain ritual that contains the blood of our Queen. So if she doesn't allow it, we can't enter a human body, she said with pride.

Your mother, Madison, is the Queen of all succubi. She controls us, she protects us and she assigns tasks for us to do. My task is to protect you while you are alive. When you die and come to Hell, I'm gonna be free. No more tasks for me.

My mind was overheating with all this new information. I couldn't process what she just said to me. A succubus living inside me? My mother was the Queen of the succubi? Who would even believe that?
