Chapter 1

"Well, dear I hope you enjoy yourself here!" a man behind me says hospitably "I will get my son to show you around in an hour, in the mean time you can settle into your room."

I turn around and see the man who was talking was the one, the only Satan. I start to stutter a reply when he pokes his head out the door and bellows "Olga! Show this fine young lady to her room."

Olga lunges into the room with a scowl on her face and looks me over. She grunts and nods her head in a jester I guess means I should follow her, so I do. We end up in a huge room with a gothic Victorian feel. It has floor to ceiling windows that looked out at a court yard filled with black roses. It contained a black wood canopy bed with a matching vanity and dresser. The sheets on the bed were black silk and the comforter was deep purple. The walls were the color of the night sky when it's a new moon. There was a chaise lounge in the same shade of purple as the comforter and the four doors were a charcoal color. I walked up to each door and opened them hesitantly. Of course one opened to the hall, and another opened to a huge walk in closet that was completely empty and another led to a large balcony with wrought on fencing and the last door led into a huge bathroom with black marble everywhere and I mean everywhere. I think everything in there was made out of it except for the toilet paper and towels. My room in whole was beautiful in a gothic way, not me but still beautiful, nothing on like I imagined hell would be like. While I was admiring the room I must have lost track of time because before I knew it there was a light knock on the door leading to the hall.

"Come in." I called thinking it might be Olga or another servant, but when the hottest gut I ever seen walks through the door I stutter, "Who the hell are you!" He has the blackest hair I ever seen and it flopped over his grey eyes perfectly. His jeans hugged his hips like he was a male model and his black t shirt was nothing special but it showed off his broad chest and to top everything off he had on black motto boots and a blue ball cap.

He looks at me calmly and states "No need to yell at me, you are the one who called 'come in' right?"

"Y y yes" I stutter.

"Then why were you so surprised when someone came in!" he snaps

"You're not who I expected okay?" I mutter

"And who were you expecting?" he smirks

"I thought it might be Olga, she just dropped me off hear a few minutes ago!"

"You mean sixty minutes ago."

"What! It couldn't have been that long!"

"Well, it was. Do want to be shown around or what? If not I'll tell dad you bailed"

"Wait, you're Satan's son!"

"Yes."

"Omigawd! I feel sooooooooooo stupid! I should have known! It's not like your some crazy stalker who came here to rape me!" I slap my hand over my mouth and feel my cheeks reddening. I can't believe I just said that!

"How do you know?" he smirks "By the way, name's Lucian, but everyone calls me Luke."

"Oh, okay! Well you gonna show me around or are we just gonna stand here all day looking at each other?"

"Ummmmmmm, no, I'm not. Maybe, after you change out of that stupid white frilly dress! I can't be seen with someone dressed like that!"

"Well, this is all I have unless you want me to go naked because your dad kind of flashed out before I could grab my crap from home!"

"Did you even look in your drawers? Dad bought clothes that will fit in down here. I'll wait outside while you change." Luke states then walks in to the hall and slams the door behind him.

"No, but I looked in the closet!" I shout at his back disappearing through the door.

I rush over to my dresser and dig through the clothes (all of which are very revealing, just saying). I decide on fishnet tights, a black lace keyhole dress, combat boots, a red and black checker bow I clipped in my hair and fake snake bite piercings. When I walk outside the room Luke sizes me up like a pig going to the slaughter house. "Not bad, not bad at all," He states, "you might actually fit in, not well, but you might. Your white hair will stand out. That's out of the norm down here."

We start walking down the dark corridor and he asks, "Why did you want to come here? I mean seriously how many angels want to go to hell?"

"Why wouldn't I want to come here? It doesn't seem all that bad." I state, "Just because I'm an angel doesn't mean I'm stuck up and doesn't want to live a little!"

"Ummmmmmm, it kinda does."

"Just show me around then you never have to see my face again, okay."

Luke briskly nods and strides down the hallway. I struggle to keep up with his long strides because I'm only five feet three inches when he's got to be over six feet. Luke didn't seem to notice and I wasn't going to tell him to slow down. That would make me seem whiney and no one wants people to think they're whiney when they get to a new place, so I just jog to keep up. He randomly starts pointing at doors and telling me what they are, but my memory sucks so I'll never know where anything is. While I'm looking around in a daze another gorgeous guy walks up and shouts, "Cuz, who's this chick you're show'n round this time?"

"What do you want Beau?" Luke states dryly.

"I jus wanna meet the hot chick. Sumthin wrong with dat?"

"You really need to learn how to talk right. I mean seriously 'dat' who freaking says that?"

I just stand there watching not quite knowing what to do. I know it's only polite to introduce myself but Luke's 'cuz' sounds like a total jerk, but of course my manners have to kick in because they have been drilled into my head like a screw.

"Ummmmmmm, you guys shouldn't talk about me like I'm not here. And FYI I'm not some chick, I'm…"

Luke grabs my arm and pulls me into another room and I hear Beau yell, "Whoa, already taking her to bed! I see how you work. Act like a gentleman then bam next thing she knows you're screwing her! Oh wait I already knew you're not a gentleman and I guess she'd about to find out too." Luke's eyes flash and his breathing quickens, "Just leave her alone Beau. She doesn't need to have anything to do with you."

"Oh and your such and good guy to know. You should tell her about what happened to Tami."

"That was a long time ago Beau and you've done worse."

I hear footsteps outside and I take it for granted Beau left. Luke closes his eyes and steadies his breathing while he leans against the door. When it reaches a normal speed he looks at me and says, "I'm really sorry about Beau, he doesn't have any manners. And if you don't mind me giving you a pointer don't go around announcing who you are, people will find out soon enough. Enjoy yourself as long as you can because when people find out who you are they'll treat you different."

"You think I don't know that? I've been treated different all my life because of who my dad is. Why do you think I volunteered for this? I wanted to escape my prison, that's why! Do you know what it feels like to live your whole life in a protective box? Oh and what did you do to Tami cause if you hurt her in anyway, I'm out of here!"

"I…messed her up ok" Luke mutters

"Messed her up how exactly?"

"Got her addicted to drugs, and she overdosed and died, but I'm not that guy anymore."

"Save it Luke. I'm going back to my room! I shouldn't have even asked!" I cry and storm out of the room. Unluckily I run smack dab into Beau. "Hi, there. Did cuz disappoint you cause I can guarantee you I never would." He says while mushing me against him. I struggle to get away but it's no use, he's too strong.

"I like it when they fight." He growls He restrains my wrists and pulls me tighter against him and whispers in my ear, "Why don't I go find a place where we can be alone and get to know each other?"

"Let me go" I start to whimper and at that very moment Luke slinks out of the room and sees Beaus hands clamped on my wrists and the pleading look in my eyes. Luke turns away and I think he's gonna leave. Then he launches in to a round house kick and hits Beau in the nose. Blood starts gushing out and soaks the front of my dress and starts running down my body. Beau releases my wrists to clasp his nose and I collapse on the floor in a heap. Then Luke bundles me into his arms and starts sprinting down the corridor with me cradled tightly against his chest. I look up and notice he has the darkest gray eyes I've ever seen, they're almost black. I also see fear in those eyes and start trembling then the tears start to fall that I was holding back. So much for not seeming weak, I think.

He ducks into my room panting and drops me onto by bed, then turns to leave. "Thanks, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come to help me. I'm still not sure we can be friends but, you might not be as bad as I thought." I sob

Luke grunts a noncommittal sound and leaves the room. Wow, didn't you make a great impression on him, I think; I bet he thinks I'm a complete ditz. I bet everyone will know about what happened and never let it go. I'll always be the weak angel heaven didn't care left. With that sour thought I give into exhaustion.

…

I wake a few hours later feeling more drained than I did before I went to sleep. I slowly crawl out of bed and into the bathroom to soak in a needed bath. There are assorted soaps and I choose the stuff that smells like pomegranate. I turn on icy cold water and fill the tub, and then immerse myself.

I finally pull myself out an hour later and dry off. I walk into my room wrapped in a towel and see someone silhouetted in the middle of my room. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!" I screech, "GET OUT! NOW! I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE! I WANT YOU OUT!"

The creep turns around and I see it is Luke. He stutters, "S sorry Haven! I just c c came by to check on you."

"You should have knocked! This isn't helping your case!" I scream

"I did and you didn't answer. I thought something was wrong."

"And why would something be wrong?"

"Beau."

"Beau?"

"Yes, he's known for sneaking into young ladies rooms."

"Like you!"

"I will leave now." Luke stiffly states

"Yeah, you're gonna leave and don't come back, EVER! Understand."

"I understand."

He leaves the room and I hurry to my dresser and start ruffling through my drawers. I can't find any pjs, only skimpy lingerie. Finally I just randomly grab some and drop my towel to get dressed. I just finished pulling on some black lace panties and bra when a knock sounded on the door.

"What?" I yell irritably

"Haven, can we just talk. I'm sorry I came into you room and for whatever else I did to offend you."

"No"

"Are you just gonna make me stand in the hall and yell through the door?"

"Yes."

"Come and open the door or I'll get Olga to."

"Then go get her, because I'm not opening the damn door for you!"

I hear Luke Bellow Olga's names and the next thing I know the lock is turning on my door. It hesitantly creeps open giving me enough time to tip toe into bed and pretend I'm asleep.

"Haven, get up. I know you're awake." Luke says from the doorway.

I don't move or answer so he comes up to my bed and yanks the covers off of me. His face turns bright red and it takes me a while to figure out why but when the answer hits me I feel a blush crawling up my whole pail body. "Give me the freaking cover back!" I screech

He bends over and picks it up while saying "Now if you'll give me a chance to explain, I will, or we can just forget our first two experiences ever happened and start over. Which would you like?"

"I'll take choice c. None of the above." I snap.

"I thought that would be the answer." He sighs, "I'll get my goody two-shoes older brother to show you around, and you might want to change. You still have to finish the tour."

Luke gets off the edge of my bed and leaves the room but he turns around at the last instant and say, "Press number 5 on your phone to get my brother when you're ready." Then he stalked out the room without a glance back.
