Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Rider.


This time she burst through the doors. Mephistopheles looked up at her and smirked. Blackheart looked at her with a still angry face. She walked to the center of the room across from Mephistopheles. Blackheart was seated on the edge of the room in a throne-like chair. She looked at him and said, "Well, it's nice to see you once every couple of months." He looked up and sneered at her. She clenched her jaw to keep her demon from showing.

Mephistopheles clasped his hands together on his cane and said, "Hello Audrey." Audrey looked at him, her demon shining through. He smiled. "Why have you summoned me?" Audrey asked, fighting back the anger.

Mephistopheles was still smiling, "I want you to do something for me. For Blackheart. I hope you'll agree to it. The last time you went on an...errand, you overlooked the rules. This is a chance to redeem yourself. To have a clean slate."

Audrey looked from him to Blackheart to him again. "What is it, and what do I get for going?" Mephistopheles walked in the direction away from Blackheart. "You get to get out of Hell for a little while to do some bargaining or use force to get what I want you to get." Audrey moved her hand on her duster. She looked at her hand, it had ink stains.

She remembered her job, she had just been called from. She was Hell's record-keeper. She wrote down the names at the entrance to Hell, then she made a file with their name, when they arrived, and what they did to get here. She smiled at the stain on her hand. How ironic Hell has a file system, she thought.

"That's not enough," she said. Mephistopheles looked at her, "How come?" She looked at him and smiled, "What am I supposed to do?" He smiled in return. "I want you to find the Ghost Rider and get the power of the Rider back. Or at least track him down and wait until Blackheart can return on Earth."

"And if I succeed?" Audrey asked curious to what Mephistopheles would bargain for. She knew he wanted the power of his precious Ghost Rider back. Audrey cleaned up his messes. She remembered all the writing she did when the thousand souls were released. Every time he used the penance stare he sent a soul to Hell.

Mephistopheles answered her question," I'll give you three days on Earth. To go see your family and say goodbye." Audrey's anger disappeared as she realized what he was saying. "You'll let me willingly see my family if I get the power back?"

Mephistopheles looked at his cane, "Yes, and I'll make Blackheart have the choice if he's going to keep you." Blackheart looked up in shock. Audrey looked at him in shock. She regained her anger and said, "Why won't you let me go?" Blackheart sneered at her, but she could read him like a book. She seen the anger on his face, but she could also see something in his eyes. Was it sadness? She shook her head, no it couldn't be sadness.

She remembered the last time she had seen him. He was disappearing into the door of his chamber, his room. Her room was across from his. Mephistopheles remembered this fact as she did. She had requested her own room away from him. She also remembered all the things Mephistopheles sent Blackheart. Anger grew in her. He always sent beautiful demons into Blackheart's room.

Her faithful servant and helper, who had now taken over her job for a while, demon, had gone into his room once as Audrey stopped the one meant for his room. Her helper was a beautiful demon named Spark. She had taken the power of electricity.

Audrey always stopped the demons if she was near. Most backed away when they saw her, but some fought back to get to Blackheart. They only wanted to be near him because he was the Dark Prince. Heir to Hell. They usually backed away when they saw Audrey because she was the Princess. The ones who fought back usually turned into demons, knowing the Princess was just human. But Audrey fought back and turned into her demon. After that they ran away. She could turn into something they never could.

Mephistopheles pondered the thought of her as an heir to the throne as she did in the silence of the room. He knew it would take her a couple of minutes to decide and he waited. He thought she should be happy for what she was now. She was the Dark Princess, the Princess of Darkness, soon to be Queen. She would be the Queen of Hell, the Queen of Darkness, the Queen of the Damned. She would help in the ruling of Hell when Blackheart began his reign.

Audrey looked up out of her musings and said, "I'll do it." Blackheart looked up at her, then his father and said,"She'll need henchmen." Mephistopheles looked at his son and smiled. "Yes, I will give her a few demons to take with her."

Audrey looked at Blackheart and walked over to him. He looked at her, his anger melting. She looked at him and asked very quietly, "Why won't you wear your ring?" He looked at his ring finger. His wedding ring was on his bedside table. He looked up at her and shook his head, he knew she would see the meaning in his eyes. What he thought of was all the times he refused the female demons his father sent, and that he truly missed his wife. He knew he had hurt her though, and he couldn't admit that he wanted her to love him again. Because he still loved her.

Audrey seen the sadness in Blackheart's eyes. She looked at Mephistopheles, "When do I leave?" The devil smiled, "As soon as possible." Audrey said,"I'll leave in a few minutes, will you let me speak with the demons? And I'll follow wherever you send them." Mephistopheles looked at her and said, "Of course." He pointed to a door out of the room.

She took one last look at Blackheart and walked through the door. There were three demons there. An earth demon, a water demon, and a fire demon. She called to Mephistopheles, "Okay." He clapped his hands in the other room and the demons disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

Audrey started to leave, but a hand grabbed her shoulder. She spun around to face whoever grabbed her. She turned and faced Blackheart. She was a little surprised, but her shock turned to anger. Blackheart was inches from her. He looked at her with pleading eyes. "Please be careful." She looked at him in shock. She hadn't expected that. He had his hand on her shoulder. She walked a little closer, he was now only a few inches away. She looked into his eyes, they were pleading and sad. Se brought her face to his.

He almost thought she was going to kiss him, but he knew better. She got a half an inch away from his lips. She brought her head to the side of his and her lips were at his ear. She rubbed her head against his, he rubbed back. She thought about this and thought we're more like animals. She whispered into his ear, "You'll miss me won't you?" Blackheart couldn't resist her. He nodded. She said something cruel, "I don't think I'll miss you." She leaned back from him. His eyes showed pain beyond anything he ever experienced. She thought he would never miss her. He couldn't still love me, could he? She thought.

She leaned back more and caught the trail of the demons who had left. She decided she would go before she lost it. As Blackheart reached up to her face, she disappeared. His hands touched the black smoke she left behind.

A single tear rolled down his face.
