Chapter one

Do you fear me

Rin lay down on the cold dungeon floor, naked and bleeding profusely from several wounds on his back, the blood pooled around him as he felt his back burn in agony. Above him stood a tall man with greying black hair and a set of burning blue eyes, in his left hand he clutched a cat o'nine tails dripping with Rin's own blood. Rin's tail curled up behind him as he desperately clawed at the ground, attempting to flee the lash of his fathers whip. "I didn't raise a coward did I? " Rin heard his father say in an angry yet calm tone from behind him, the whip lashed out again and tore into Rin's back, he released a cry as his flesh was ripped apart and the hot sting of the whip clawed at his shoulders, more blood flowed from his back and at this stage Rin could feel his mind falling into unconsciousness. Satan stepped on Rin's tail and Rin proceeded to let out a weak and desperate cry of pain. Satan leaned down and whispered in Rin's ear "this should teach you not to disobey me you disrespectful little shit " Rin felt the foot on his tail lift and saw his father leave through his blurry eyes and each step further his father was from him Rin felt relief. He lay there in a pool of slowly drying blood and tears, longing to be free from the cold, the pain, the endless 'lessons'... his father.

From the very day Rin was born he lived in Gehenna as he possessed the same power as his father meanwhile his twin Yukio lived in Asaiah not knowing about Rin or possessing any demonic power and Rin was envious of him, the brother he never knew, disowned by their father and given a life in Assiah, oh how Mephisto had boasted of his brothers easy life in a monastery with a loving adoptive father and several friends as opposed to Rin's consistent torture and the grooming to become a 'proper' prince of the underworld. He lifted himself off the freezing cobbled ground his back still weeping blood, Rin was desperately hobbling towards the stairs ignoring the several other prisoners shackled to walls or in cramped cells knowing he had to leave before his father returned unless he wanted his neck wrung.. literally. As he slowly clawed his way up the stairs he tried to remember what he'd done to warrant his father's brutal whipping, but he was too light headed to remember. He clambered up the icy steps counting each out loud to distract him from the pain of his shredded back and probably broken tail, when Rin made it to the top he lifted himself up from his knees and managed to twist the wrought iron door handle then push the heavy rotting door open. Falling into the hallway he groaned, blood dripping onto the carpet he slowly followed the wall knowing the path from his room to the dungeon well. Eventually Rin scrambled his way into his chambers, He lay on his bed face down and wished his back would get time to heal this time. Rin slowly began to fall into sweet unconsciousness.

He was sitting at a table covered with fine food and wine, decorated with red candles and fancy chalices, the scent of food wafted through the air. Rin looked around to see nothing but a blank white void surrounding him. As his gaze returned to the table what he saw surprised him to say the least, a beautiful lady with pale skin dressed in an elegant green gown with stunning red hair and contrasting toxic yellow cat like eyes sat opposite him holding a half eaten ruby red apple, and it looked like the most delicious apple ever conceived by man or god. "Hello Rin" she said taking another bite from the apple, juice running down her delicate chin and cleavage making Rin's mouth water seeming quite unphased by the situation she just continued chewing. "where the hell am I?" Rin asked, pretty sure he was currently supposed to be bleeding to death on his bed and not at some table with a strangely attractive woman. Ignoring Rin's question she stood up, placing the apple on a plate she then walked around behind him, placing her small soft hands on his bare shoulders. "I'm Eve, I'm sure you've heard of me" he heard from behind him and as Rin turned to look at her he came face to face with her venomous fanged smile as her head approached his neck.

Rin bolted upright breathing heavily and covered in a cold sweat that chilled him to the core. He ran a hand through his hair and realised that his body had been bandaged and he was placed underneath the sheets of his newly dressed bed. He frowned and gripped his sheets trying to figure out who helped him, his question was answered when the latch on his door was lifted and the door was pushed open. Standing there in all his ridiculously pink and cream coloured glory was his half and second most annoying older brother. "Guten Morgan mein little brother, I hope you're feeling better" he smiled and Rin wasn't sure wether he was being sincere. "the fuck do you want now Samael" sneered Rin, knowing his brother hated his true name. Mephisto scoffed in distaste and moved towards the bed "you know how I dislike being called by my true name, it makes me feel distasteful, and do I need a reason to visit my little brother" he said, conjuring up an armchair and a teacup, "yes you do, you never make an appearance unless it benefits or excites you" said Rin sitting upright in his oversized bed and stealing the tea before his brother had a chance to get comfy in his pink throne of a chair. "that's my tea you hot headed nitwit!" exclaimed Mephisto as Rin drank it all in one gulp then proceeded to spit it back out "the hell kinda tea is this!" Rin shouted confusedly as Mephisto slapped the back of his head "Earl Grey you uneducated fool!" pouted Mephisto before sighing and settling down in his chair with a slight frown upon his elvish face. Rin furrowed his brow "something bothering you?" he asked not knowing his brother to be the type to fret over small insignificant things. Mephisto looked at Rin with a worried expression on his face "...the scars from this one are going to stay Rin, you're demon healing isn't going to help you this time, I was certain that you were going to die. I've never known father to injure a family member so badly, not even Amimon, and he's certainly the worst of us. What did you do?" said Mephisto sounding quite exasperated. It was only then Rin noticed the bags underneath Mephisto's eyes, they stood out like a unwanted stain, making his brother age considerably. Rin itched his jaw as he scoured his memories, and as he remembered he immediately knew that he got off lightly, it wasn't like he intended to be caught anand he was certain that he wouldn't be, but unfortunately his father came back early and not only did he find out but he was the one who walked in on Rin taking it. He looked up at Mephisto with his eyes showing the regret he felt. "I tried to steal the apple".
