Running With the Devil

"I live my life like there's no tomorrow and all I've got, I had to steal Least I don't need to beg or borrow Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills Oooh, yeah (Ahh!) Runnin' with the devil (Ahh-hah! Yeah!) (Woo-hoo-oo!) Runnin' with the devil I'm gonna tell ya all about it I found the simple life ain't so simple When I jumped out, on that road I got no love, no love you'd call real Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home Runnin' with the devil!"I sang as I joyously skipped down the road made of fire and coal.

My shirt was slipping off my shoulder, and my hair was sticking out at odd angles. I stopped singing when Jimmy, a little black demon with wings, started towards me.

"Good morning Jimmy."
"Mornin' Em. I'm guessing you came from Sean's."

I simply laughed.

"So where are you off to now Em?"
"Well, I guess my father wanted to see my brothers and me. For what? I don't know." I told him with wild hand gestures.

"I see."

Jimmy and I walked through the insane world that is Hell to the Black Castle, where my father, brothers, and I reside.

"This is my stop Jimmy," I said in front of the throne room doors.
"Alright see you around Em."

I heaved open the enormous doors and walked in to find my brothers playing darts with a soul dart board. Julian, my twin, threw two darts and hit an ear and a nose. The soul he hit grunted.

"HA! Cough it up Rian you owe me two of your souls."
"Yeah, yeah I know. Well hey if it isn't daddy's little girl."
"Shove it Adrian."
"Em you were supposed to be here an hour ago."
"I know that but I was just a little bit busy."
"Where were you?"
"Being a little whore that's where she was."

Flipping Julian off, I plopped down on the couch and snapped my fingers so that I was decent.

"Aemilia, where do you come off throwing that hand gesture around?"
"We're in Hell stupid. Besides, I don't like you."
"Just knock it off you two."
"Stay out of it Adrian!" Julian shoved Adrian to the ground. I jumped off the couch to Adrian's side.
"Adrian you alright?"
"Lovely," he said sarcastically. There was a small scrape on the side of his face. I rested my hand on his face and the wound healed at my touch. I pulled him to his feet and rounded on Julian.

"What the 'F' Julian?"
"Piss off, Em."

Julian has always been like this since before I can remember. He doesn't care about anything or anybody but himself. He's never loved anyone and never will.

I snapped. Violently, I punched Julian in the face. My fist collided with his nose. Under my knuckles I could feel cartilage in his nose bend and finally break. Blood oozed from his nose and flowed onto the front of his body. He was thrown back from force of the punch, and much to my liking he fought back. Just another opportunity for me to kick his ass.

When we were born, Julian and I, I got more power than he did. Why? I honestly have no idea. But he seriously got gypped on the whole magic thing.

So, I had Julian in a headlock, ready to break his neck. Then the double-doors burst open causing Julian, Adrian, and I all to look up.
