Prologue:
It was a peaceful night, Charlotte walked into the living room towards her husband, Derek who was with their eight year old daughter, Scarlett. Scarlett was sitting on the couch with her father, she was drinking her nightly juice as she watched the soccer game on the tv. "Scarlett, did you let the dog inside?" Charlotte asked as she sat down on the couch next to. "Oh!" She exclaimed excitedly and got up quickly. She was wearing her blue nightgown, she put on some shoes and grabbed her dog's leash. She rushed toward the back door quickly, sliding it open and looking around the darkened yard. Her dog had a shock collar on which prevented the dog from running away in their open backyard.
Scarlett turned on the light to the backyard, scanning the dimly light area. Her dog wasn't in sight which made her worried. "Dad? I'm going out to find Sunshine!" She shouted grabbing the emergency flashlight and walking out onto the patio porch. She walked onto the grass and looked around as she turned on the flashlight. She walked towards the edge of the woods hesitantly sighing. "Sunshine!" She shouted into the woods, but nothing could be heard except the tv that was playing faintly in the background.
Crowley stood in the woods quietly watching Scarlett walk to the edge of the woods. He looked at two men that were accompanying him as he signaled for them to get to the house quickly. He had his hands in his black trench coat pockets as he watched his men run into the house. A group of four demons appeared behind him, they were sent by Lucifer who was getting impatient about the retrieval of the crystal and the ancient blade known as the Dricia blade.
"Crowley, sir. Lucifer is getting impatient with your methods during this mission. He requests that you burn down the mansion after the completion of the mission." The demon standing to his right side behind him said calmly. "And ruin this gorgeous mansion that has been around for centuries?" Crowley asked with a bemused expression. "He wants it done as reassurance that the mission was completed correctly. He is losing faith in your ability to handle this mission sir, and will remove you if you don't comply." The demon answered with worry at Crowley's reaction to the message that he relayed to him. "Apparently, Lucifer has never learned to appreciate the ancients of this mortal world," Crowley said turning to the demon. He started choking the demon without moving an inch and looked at him dead in the eye. "Tell that unappreciative idiotic hellspawn, that I'm doing this mission my way, understand?" He said in his usual intimidating tone. The demon struggled at the fact his vessel couldn't breathe but continued to nod at the Crowley's statement. Crowley snapped his fingers and the demon fell to the ground onto his knees coughing harshly. "Now!" Crowley shouted.
Scarlett perked up at the sound of the shouting. "Hello?!" She shouted back in the direction of Crowley. She was shaking from the cold, bitter winter and that she was scared for what happened to her dog. The noise also scared her because she was alone and looking for her dog. Crowley heard the shout before turning to his men signal to have them take care of the girl. He disappeared to the door of the Whitechest Estate. His demons were already inside destroying the demon and angel warding that surrounded the estate.
Derek and Charlotte were standing inside worried as their wings were spread out. They were holding Angel blades that were found from an angel massacre that happened a long time ago. "Crowley! What did you do to our daughter?" Derek shouted sternly. His eyes narrowed at Crowley. "Nothing, yet," Crowley answered with his eyebrows raised as he turned his head towards. "Charlotte, looking lovely as ever," Crowley said nodding at her. "Bite me, Crowley," Charlotte answered as her black and white wings shifted at his compliment. "Still feisty, I like feisty and you're still married to the little nerd." He commented eyeing her blade. "Now, down to business."
Crowley walked over to a chair and sat down crossing his legs. "We can do this the easy way by telling me how to get to the artifact that Lucifer was after or we can bring your daughter here and she might help you talk," Crowley said calmly as a demon walked over holding an expensive bottle of scotch that was found in Derek's office.
The demon's made the angel blades fly out of their hands quickly. "Sit, please," Crowley said taking the glass of scotch that was offered to him. "Don't you dare lay a hand on my daughter you son of a bitch!" Derek shouted as he lifted his index finger at him. "Then you won't have an issue with telling us about a blade you have in your possession," Crowley said before sipping from his glass.
Charlotte grabbed onto Derek's arm tightly. "We have to tell him, Derek," She said softly looking up at him. "For Scarlett's sake."
Derek looked down at her with softened eyes then back at Crowley. "First, I want to see my daughter, then we can talk." He asked coldly while he held his wife close to him.
Scarlett was running through the forest holding her flashlight tightly in her hand. She screamed Sunshine's name loudly, but out of breath. She tripped over a log and hit the ground, landing in front of a man in a black suit looking down at her. Scarlett grunted as she held her knee in pain, before hearing the man sneered at her. "Klutz." He grabbed her arm and pulling her up roughly, forcing her to land on her feet. "Ow! Let go!" She screamed as she ripped her arm away from the man, "Who are you?!" She shouted backing away into a woman that appeared behind her.
"We are here to take you back to your home, We found your dog dead on the road. Your parents sent us out here to find you and tell you that you must return home." The woman said crossing her arms. Scarlett stared at the man blankly and looked at the woman, suspiciously. "She's dead?" Scarlett asked with a heartbroken, sad tone to her voice as she looked at the woman. "What did she look like? Why didn't my parents come and find me?" She continued to ask. She was confused because her parents wouldn't have sent strangers out to find her. She knew something was off about these people, her hearts were racing quickly as she quickly moved to the side where there was an opening. Scarlett ran as quickly as she could towards the field that was nearby, her legs were running as fast as she could. Her hearts were pounding, her lungs were burning, and her legs were aching.
"Crowley," A man said walking through the door. "I'm so disappointed in you and your behavior." Crowley paused as he sat there sipping his scotch, his face turn a bit pale. "Lucifer." He said calmly slowly getting up, placing his empty glass on the table stand next to the chair. The couple stared at Lucifer with horror, "L-Lucifer." Derek stuttered quietly softly as he pulled Charlotte closer his body, her head resting on his shoulder in worry.
"Derek Winchester, how's the family? Oh, wait." Lucifer said looking at then back at with a soft scoff. "You have something that I want." He said pacing the living room sighing softly. He looked at and balled his fist up gently, Charlotte's neck tightened up, turning bright red as a gagging noise started coming from her mouth. She gripped tightly holding onto him. held her with horror written on his face. "Alright! I have the crystal to the blade!" He shouted pulling out the necklace from his shirt to show Lucifer. "There is a spell that can be used to activate the crystal, just please stop." He said begging. Lucifer looked at him take a long moment to think about it before Charlotte's neck completely snapped. Derek screamed in horror as he held his dead wife in his arms tightly. Tears were streaming down his face as he looked at Lucifer with rage.
Crowley stood there quietly behind Lucifer knowing he would be next if for what he said. A demon grabbed the crystal, handing it towards Lucifer graciously. The demon walked away to greet the man that was chasing Scarlett. "Has the bitch been found?" The demon asked. "No, she escaped the property, but Theodora is in pursuit." The returned Demon answered as he stood there at attention. He went quiet as he watched Lucifer quietly walk towards Derek's office holding the crystal. He forced the door open using his abilities, he stepped through the threshold and looked at the crystal reacting to a clue to the blade being nearby. Lucifer signaled for the demons to search the entire office.
Scarlett panted heavily as she pushed to pass the tall grass running towards her long driveway. She jumped onto the concrete as she ran down towards the street quickly. She stumbled a bit as she ran, the scrunchy that kept her braided hair together was coming out. Her combed back hair had hair strands coming out, her nightgown was ripped near the bottom of her nightgown.
Lucifer looked at the safe that was hidden being a bookcase, he forced the door open and picked up a scroll that contains a spell in Shanta. "Burn the place down." He said, walking past his men and turning to Crowley, gave his men a look that he was considered a traitor. His men grabbed Crowley, to which Crowley fought back, and disappeared. "Blimey." He said as he landed next to the street where Sunshine's body laid in the middle of the road from being hit by a car. He looked at the dead dog, he crouched down reciting a spell which allowed a dog's soul to become twisted into a hellhound. He had a use for Sunshine's soul, to use her against the demons that are loyal to Lucifer.
Sunshine's soul rose and formed a hellhound. She snarled as she looked around then Crowley, she was bound to him now. She walked over to Crowley and stood next to him, "You'll be named Ulgog." He said patting her head gently, then looked at the house. "SICK EM!" He shouted at the demon that was known as Theodora walked out of the woods and saw him. Theodora looked at Crowley confused then down at Ulgog, "Hey, no need to jump to conclusions!" She exclaimed backing away quickly from the duo.
Scarlett screamed loudly as she stood there staring at the three of them. She could see Ulgog standing next to Crowley, growling and getting ready to attack. Ulgog shifted her attention to Scarlett before shaking her head and charging at Theodora. Her claws dug into her vessel, then pinned her to the ground, her jaws ripping out Theodora's throat. Scarlett's eyes widen as she turned around to run down the driveway towards her house.
The demons inside Scarlett's house tied up Derek after beating him for information about the Shantian Spell. Her father didn't give, he perked up at the childish scream and started to fight again. "SCARLETT!" He screamed as he kicked over a demon. He tried to wiggle himself free to get to the only love of his life. Lucifer looked at the doorway to see Scarlett running down the driveway full speed. The demons had just finished splashing gasoline around the house.
"Ballocks," Crowley muttered as he watched Scarlett running down the driveway. He was tempted to run after her and have her stopped, but then looked at Lucifer standing in the doorway. Lucifer nodded as he disappeared, the demons followed until the final demon lit a match and threw it inside the house.
"This is Derek Winchester, If an angel can hear this, save my daughter." Derek prayed while he struggled to free himself. He looked at the house and the fire spreading quickly, his eyes trailed to Scarlett standing in the doorway. Her eyes widen with tears as she watched her father burn to death.
Crowley watched Scarlett before whistling for Ulgog and disappearing into the night, leaving Scarlett to be scarred for her entire life. An angel appeared behind Scarlett quickly, "No." He said softly walking up behind Scarlett. Scarlett was ready to walk into the house, she was desperate to hug her father. "Daddy!" She screamed into the house. Her father was screaming in agony until he was dead, the silence only made Scarlett want to run into the house even more.
She ran up the steps, but before she could take another step the Angel grabbed her and yanked her back from the doorway. She screamed and kicked, fling her limbs around in anger and sadness. She was having a big temper tantrum, she fought, bit, scratched, kicked, punched, and did other things to the Angel. He took the abuse as he watched the estate collapse to the ground from its instability.
Police and the fire department arrived with sirens blasting and echoing in the cold, winter night. Scarlett's entire family and the house were gone in one night. She continued to scream, regardless of the officers trying to comfort her over the situation. Scarlett calmed down in the backseat of the police car, her face buried in her knees as she cried to herself. She missed her parents already, she felt alone. The Angel sent her to the orphanage until he could find the only known live relatives.
Years passed by, Scarlett has been transferred to another city and has lived in the ran down the orphanage since. She hasn't heard from the angel that rescued her from the fire in years.
