Okay, I know its a little short, but the characters are staging a protest, apparently I'm being too mean to them. So, I'm gonna try and sort out their pay and next chapter should be up on monday .
Chapter 7
Jeff was looking at the man in front of him in fear. He knew he shouldn't show that he was scared but he couldn't help himself. Jeff knew who this man was, and that made him even more nervous. If he was going to stay here and be some angel lap dog to these demons, they have another thing coming. No way is he staying here. He had things to do. Lives to live. Marcie to save.
"So, what brings you to our side?" – The man asked Jeff, who was still sitting on the floor out of fear that if he moved, he would be in serious pain. Better stay where you are, until told otherwise.
Jeff looked at the man for a long time, pondering what should he say. It was known that demons didn't exactly have any patience or understanding of how the other side worked. All they cared about was themselves.
"I was looking for someone" – Jeff finally answered.
"And who would that be?" – He asked.
"I doubt you know her" – Jeff said, a bit too aggressively.
The man watched Jeff, thinking why he was getting so angry and who could that mysterious woman is. If he came to look for her here, she must be someone special, but surely the boy had made a mistake, because he would know if one of his demons would be fraternising with the enemy.
"Try me" – the man said, with a light smirk on his lips.
"She's not one of your demons, I think our paths got mixed up" – Jeff said, finding a more comfortable sitting position on the floor, his back against one of the desks.
"Hmm, and tell me, is this girl of great importance to you?" – He asked.
"Yes" – Jeff answered, not liking the questions he was being asked.
"Tell me her name" – The man asked.
"Why do you care?" – Jeff shouted, getting angry all over again.
"Listen boy, because I'm only going to say it once" – the man snarled, taking a fistful of Jeff's hair and pulling his head back, "You better start telling me all I want to know. Unless you want to end up without a way back up and stuck down here, forever".
Jeff whimpered a soft sound but otherwise didn't show that he was in any pain. He wouldn't give the demon the satisfaction. He closed his eyes and steadied his breaths, thinking about how he wished he would be anywhere else but here. How he wished that he could be with Marcie.
"Marcie. Her name is Marcie" – Jeff chocked out when the man punched him in the stomach when Jeff didn't say anything.
The man let go of Jeff, and raised his eyebrows in shock but also surprise. Jeff could see the thoughts forming in the man's' mind and wondered why he was so interested in finding out who he was looking for and if he knew Marcie.
"Well, seeing as Marcie isn't here, why don't you tell me everything there is to know about her, and in the mean time I will think what to do with you" – the man said and smiled a sick smile, making shivers go down Jeff's spine.
"Why should I tell you anything? What do you want with Marcie?" – Jeff shouted.
The man groaned and got up to his feet. When he was just a step away from Jeff, he swung his leg and kicked Jeff in the stomach that he punched earlier. Jeff didn't have time to react or take a breath when another kick collided with his ribs and he could feel blood in his mouth. His vision was starting to get blurry and after a few more kicks to his stomach and ribs, he passed out.
The man called someone to come and take the unconscious boy away from his room so he could relax and mull over the information the boy had disclosed when Lilith walked into his room.
"Lilith, where have you been?" – The man asked voice angry.
Lilith noticed straight away that Jeff was lying near the door, not moving. Fear struck her thinking that he had been hurt. Not giving anything away, she just walked passed him and returned her gaze to the demon.
"Sorry, my lord, I was taking care of some personal matters" – She said, "What is he doing here?"
"The guards found him snooping around, said he was looking for Marcie" – the man said and noticed that Lilith's gaze once more returned to the boy.
"Marcie? What about her?" – Lilith asked, wondering if anyone knew about Marcie being her prisoner and wingless.
"Nothing." – The man dismissed, "tell me, have there been any news from the other side?"
"No, my lord, nothing." – Lilith answered.
"Shame, I would really like to have a fight right now with someone, that boy kept annoying me and it pained me that I couldn't just kill him and get rid of him" – He said, looking at her.
He noticed that Lilith looked scared and pained to see the boy in his room, as if she knew him, but he shook that thought away, there was no chance that demons and angels interacted.
"So, what have you done?" – The man asked Lilith and she froze momentarily.
"Done? What have I done?" – Lilith asked him, wondering if she had missed something.
"Why do you look so scared?" – He asked her.
"I'm not scared, my lord, I'm uncomfortable with the angel in room" – Lilith lied, but she knew at that moment that he believed her.
She had always voiced her dislike to the winged creatures, so he found no need to question her any further.
"You are right, I shall get rid of him" – he said and walked to his sword collection and took one out.
"No!" – Lilith said, rather quickly and he raised an eyebrow at her, "Maybe we could use him, for our purposes".
"Ah, excellent idea. Yes, let's use him to get to Marcie" – he said and returned the sword to its original place.
"My lord?" – She asked, confused look on her face.
"Oh right, you don't know. Well, never mind now, I need to form a plan, why don't you o do something" – he said and waved a hand her way, to dismiss her.
He watched her go and after finally the boy was removed from his room, he relaxed on his bed, thinking of all the ways to get Marcie and to make her his.
I shifted and rolled in the bed. I was hot and cold at the same time. I'm pretty sure I was hallucinating because I saw Lilith pacing the room, muttering something to herself.
I tried to get up, but my body was heavier than I expected, and I stayed lying down, looking at the ceiling, thinking how my life sucked.
When I first returned home, everything was fine. Then my sister turned so evil, that she broke away my wings. As the memories flooded back from the night before, I felt tears fall down my face. I knew I shouldn't cry it was a sign of weakness, especially when in the hands of the enemy. It hurt to think of my sister as the enemy, but after what she had done, there is no way I could forgive her. I was now stuck in the human world, never being able to return home, never to see mother again, never to ... No, I have to stop thinking this way, maybe if I could get a chance to explain what had happened to me, maybe then I could be let back in. Even that little hope didn't do anything for me.
"Oh stop pouting, I did you a favour" – Lilith's voice broke through my thoughts.
"I hate you" – I whispered, not looking her way.
"No, you don't. You love me, and you will forgive me" –Lilith said, smiling.
"And why should I?" – I asked.
"Because something has happened" –She said, looking worried.
"What has happened, Lilith?" – I asked, bored with her drama.
"Jeff has been captured. In hell" – she said and my head straight away snapped back to her and I could see that she was telling the truth. I had never seen my sister this worried about anything other than herself.
"What!" – I shock shouted.
"Yep, so I suggest you help me out if you want to get him back in one piece" – Lilith said.
"Why should I help you do anything? It's not like I'm going to be able to actually see him; I don't have my wings, remember?" – I said.
"There are ways around everything little sister" – She said and smirked.
"What do you mean?" – I asked, not understanding what she meant.
"Are you going to ask me questions or actually help me?" – She said frustrated, throwing her arms in the air.
"Fine. What do you need me to do?" –I asked.
"Well, first we will have to get you in without being seen. Then I will take you to him. You will free him, he will get away and you will be found as a spy letting him go" – She smiled.
"And what will happen to me?" – I asked.
"I don't know yet, I'll think about it when the time comes." -she said completely calm.
"Have you thought any of this through, Lilith?" – I asked getting up from 5the bed, walking towards her.
"No, not really" – She shook her head and looked like a 5 year old.
"You do realise that I probably won't get out alive, right?" – I asked her.
"Yes, I do, and that is the plan, dear sister" – She smirked, again.
"You manipulative..."
"Bitch? Thank you, I hate you too" – She said, "Now stay here until I get everything ready"
"Where the hell am I gonna go else?" – I said and looked at her sarcastically.
"That's exactly where you are going" – She said and disappeared.
Great, my own sister is feeding je to demons. Can my day get any worse?
Let me know what you think.
