Chapter 4: Their End is Her Beginning

Dipper's POV

I woke up next to Pacifica. Her smooth pink naked body was next to me. Exhausted and fast asleep. She really did enjoy herself at my expense. But truthfully, I was happy to oblige. I watched her sleep. She seemed so peaceful and protected in my arms. But I knew too well of the nightmares that constantly plagued her. Because of her parents.

I still can't believe Pacifica was willing to go so far to escape from them. Before she found out who I truly was. I did watch over her. And take care of her when I could. But without a contract I couldn't keep her safe from her parents. But now… now things were different. She held her side of the bargain, now it was time I did mine. I have work to do.

I lifted Pacific off of me and placed her on the fluffy purple fog that we laid on. I then got up and snapped my fingers to bring our clothes back in an instance of blue flame.

I looked back to her.

"I guess I should tuck her in…" I thought

"Servants!" I whispered in a demonic voice.

Shadows began to appear in front of me and waited for my command.

"Take her to her room, but remember… This woman is now my property. If she is woken up or harmed in any way, I will destroy you!"

The fog slowly dissipated and carefully set her down on the ground. Following their masters orders they surrounded the girl and slowly had her sink into the floor, where she disappear on her way to her room to continue her sweet dreams.

"Now…I think it's time I… re-introduced myself to her parents." I said to myself as a smile appeared on my face. I dark aura of black flame surrounded me and my skin turned black as night. My eyes turned into the color of the pits of hell themselves.

A shadow servant appeared before me, and bowed in my presence.

"Master! I've been waiting a long time to do business with those Northwest's. Their family has been causing trouble to the innocent for generations. And now they don't exclude their behavior to their own family members. In fact some of my colleagues have been summoned to harm them for revenge but failed to do any harm and were destroyed… Their acts of greed will certainly end tonight by your hand. Master I ask for me to accompany you tonight to witness their destruction."

"I have not yet decided they're fate. I might even give them a chance to repent. But will you still go knowing this?" I said in my demonic voice questioning the shadow's intentions.

"If the master decides it, I will have no complaints. But I am confident that those fools will not repent until it is too late. Their souls are too far gone as it is."

"We will see…" I said as I held out my hand to the shadow.

"You are a generous master!" The shadow complied. And as the shadow took my hand it formed into the shape of a snake with wings and claws. The servant crawled up my arm and laid to rest on my shoulder.

"What is your name?" I asked the dragon before we disappeared into the shadows.

"It is Naga master!" the servant answered quickly.

"Well, Naga… Let's not waste more time. It will soon be sun rise and I have work at the shack today."

…

Preston and Priscilla Northwest were still awake in the family office. Time was money, no matter how late it is.

They were drinking some expensive wine and talking about what alterations they should do in their share of the stock market. At least until they were interrupted.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm going to steal some of your time."

The Northwests looked around but couldn't find the source of the voice.

"I don't know who you are, but leave now before I have you arrested for trespassing!" Preston shouted.

"Oh but I'm not trespassing, in fact, I'm here on business on behalf of Pacifica!" the mystery voice said with its tone getting darker.

"There is nobody that our daughter knows that is worth doing business with. Leave now!" yelled Priscilla.

"Oh! So you do admit she is your daughter! Then tell me, why would you put your own daughter through so much torture? And trust me, I know torture!"

Shocked at the accusation and angry for someone finding out how they treat their daughter, Preston screamed in a fit of rage, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

"Gladly" I said as I appeared behind them when they weren't looking. So when they turned to the sound of my voice, they were shocked to see that I had somehow gotten behind them.

I stood there in a dark corner of the room as they found the mysterious voice and soon recognized the intruder. I didn't want to spoil the fun by revealing my dark side…not yet.

"It's the commoner Pine's boy." Priscilla said disgusted.

"Boy, do you know how much trouble you are in?" Preston asked.

"Do you?" I asked

"You shouldn't stick your nose in other people's business boy. What our family does behind closed doors is no concern of yours!"

"Oh but I'm afraid it is now!" I said darkly as my eyes turned from their coffee brown to Hell fire tone that flared in the dark corner of the room.

In seeing this, Preston and Priscilla took a step back.

Priscilla quietly went behind Preston and started looking through drawers, as Preston occupied my attention.

"Those eyes! We've seen something like them before… You aren't human are you boy!" Preston stated

"Nope…care to take a guess?" I teased

"I don't think we need to. Over the years we've taken a lot from people. But because they couldn't accept it, they tried to take revenge on us using many different methods. A couple dabbling in the demonic arts. You said you were here on behalf of Pacifica? We'll have to teach her another lesson in the morning about where her place is in the world just as we did the others."

This pissed me off. "I'm afraid I won't let it come to that. You see I have a contract with her!"

"So did the other demons, at least until we destroyed them!"

The pet dragon appeared out of flames on my shoulder, hissing in anger for his fallen comrades.

"So I've been told… But I'm afraid it won't work the same as last time."

Suddenly Preston and Priscilla Northwest threw bottles of holy water that Priscilla retrieved from one of the drawers. Before they could make contact and shatter on me, the pet dragon jumped in their path to protect its master! The dragon fell to the ground and screamed in pain as the water burned through its soul leaving it weak and helpless on the ground.

"Well, that's one down and one to go." Preston said in confidence.

"Preston and Priscilla Northwest! You decided to treat your only daughter as property and not as family. You decided to extinguish her true personality because it lacked your control. To do so you have used emotional, mental, and sometimes even physical torture to keep her in line. Your actions are not of parents, but are of greedy savages. I will give you one chance. One opportunity to redeem yourself. Leave her alone and let go of your greed and control over her. If you do, I shall spare you from the eternal suffering you will endure at my hand. But if not, I shall take your souls now for compensation for her suffering! And she will be finally free from your grasp as you are forever in mine. Your soul will be cursed and you will meet face to face with an everlasting and painful death for eternity! That is what it means to suffer. Only hell awaits for those who cling to their selfish greed that was stolen from others. Choose now!" I said in my dark demonic voice as my black flame aura seeped out of my body revealing my true nature.

The shadows engulfed and surrounded me turning me as black as the darkness. I could see the fear in their eyes. I was nothing they have seen in the past. But that was only natural.

"We will not take orders from a Demon that our pathetic excuse for a daughter had summoned to do her dirty work!" Preston yelled.

He was about to throw another bottle of holy water when I used my telekinesis to stop it. I then brought it over and slowly shattered it in my hand. I didn't feel pain. Something as small as a bottle of holy water couldn't affect me. The Prince of Darkness.

"You really have misjudged who you are dealing with! I'm not some pathetic excuse of a demon. I am something far more dark than that!" I shouted

I made my servants come out with the snap of my fingers. They came from the shadows and filled the room until it was completely dark and the Northwests couldn't see what was in front of them.

I snapped my fingers again to light the nearby fireplace with blue flames. It glowed only enough to let the Northwests be able to make out where I was in the room.

Preston and Priscilla began to panic and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge.

"I gave you a chance to walk out of here but you made your choice. But there is something I will not forgive you for after speaking with you tonight. You can insult me all you want, but nobody…insults…MY PACIFICA!" I shouted in my demonic voice that shook the room because it had such force in it.

In my anger, out of the blue flames of the fire place came what I knew as the hellhounds. The guardians of hell. Protectors of the supernatural. Hunters of lost souls. Though I didn't mean to call them. I thought it was proper since in folklore, the encountering of them was considered a sign of imminent death.

Seeing such ferocious monsters in front of them at my command, the Northwests suddenly had a change of heart.

"Please! If you spare us we can give you anything! We can get you sacrifices or anything you might desire. There is nothing money can't do!"

"That's funny!" I chuckled in my normal voice.

"I can think of one thing that money can't do… Save your souls…"

And with the snap of my fingers the hellhounds pounced on top of the Northwests, tearing and clawing at them as they screamed in horror and in pain. Soon after, it became a feast as they ate and tore their bodies apart. But I quickly snapped my fingers to keep them from devouring further.

If you have retrieved their souls, go back to the pits of hell already. The hellhounds did as they commanded but first stood there wanting something from me. I gave a large sigh knowing what they wanted.

"Good boy…" I said as I patted one of them on the head. After saying that to each of them, they sprinted into the fireplace and disappeared. They wanted their master's affection as any loyal dog would. They were still puppies after all.

I walked over to the weak dragon that was on the floor and picked it up and rested it on my shoulder. Then I went to look at the mess of what the hellhounds left behind. Blood was spattered on the walls, guts were spread across the floor. Limbs were torn and some even missing. You could hardly recognize their faces.

"So… I guess you were right about the outcome. Their souls were too far gone."

"Master is merciful and yet they were stupid enough to not just challenge you, but to anger you as well. It made me pleased to see such a death bestowed upon them. I thank master for the opportunity made by his generosity for me to see such a wonderful sight." Spoke the small dragon.

"Naga… you did well tonight. Though I didn't ask for it, you sacrificed yourself to protect me. I will say that such protection from something so useless against me, almost seemed like an insult. But nevertheless, your actions were true to your master. Which is why I shall give you the chance to do even more good for me. I have placed servants to protect Pacifica, but I do not trust them. They are more loyal to my father and not to me personally as the hellhounds are. There is always the chance that their hunger will be the death of her. So I would like to assign you to protect Pacifica. To protect her as you would do me. You will guard her from within the shadows and never leave her alone when I'm not in her presence. Treat her words as if they were mine. Follow these orders well, and I can be an even more generous master. Don't…then I will obliterate your soul into nonexistence. Do you accept?"

"I accept…Master."
