"YOU WILL BREAK UP WITH HER!" My mom screamed. "You can go to hell for all I care. I will not break up with her just because she pushed your damn huge buttons." I say. "YOU DISRESPECTFUL FOOL WITHOUT ME YOU WOULD NOT OF BEEN BORN!" "Without you I would not of had to endure this torment!" I say. My phone rings. "Y-ello?" I say. "We have a big problem at the college. The same murderer that got your friend seemed to get a girl in dorm 19." Giovanni says. "I'm on my way. Just make sure no one goes in the dorm to disturb any of the possible evidence and get any witnesses to the murder to wait by the door." I say and hang up. "SILVER!" I yell and she comes down the stairs. I toss her a jacket and say, "We got a nice drive to look forward to." "WAIT DID YOU SAY MURDER!" My mom screamed. "I FORBID YOU FROM GOING TO THAT PLACE… ADAM! ROBERT!" She screams as I start the chevy. We pull out as my parents and uncle run to a car and follows us. "What happened?" Silver asked. I look at her and say, "Someone was murdered at the college in the same manner my friend was." I answer and she nods. After two minutes we arrive and I rush to Giovanni while my parents rush after me. "Where is the murder?" I ask and he points to a dorm at the right end of the campus. I sprint my way there and I'm greeted by sobbing girls. "Where is the murder scene?" I ask one and she is shocked to see me. "You? WHY DID HE CALL YOU?" She asked and looked at Giovanni. "EXPLAIN RIGHT NOW!" He backs away a bit and says, "He is the best at finding one disturbance. Just give him a photo of the room from the night before." She nods hesitantly and hands me a photo of a moderately sized dorm. My family arrives as she hands me the photo. I nod to her and go into the dorm to door number 19. The second to last dorm on the second floor. As I go to unlock the door a girl screams and I turn to see one of the first yearers. "I KNEW YOU WOULD COME!" She yelled as she hugged me. "Creepy…" I mutter to myself and push her away, opening the door. Inside is Tabitha, a goth girl from most of my classes. "What happened?" I ask as I look around the room and the photograph. She is surprised to see me but says, "Yesterday when I came here from a party I heard a muffled voice of my dorm mate and thumps so I politely went to my bed and slept without turning the light on. In the morning I went to check on her and saw her dead. If you look at the wall behind you, you will see the message the killer left." I turn to see 'aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?' written on the wall in blood. I look at the photograph again and at the room spotting very slight alterations. I walk over to a flower pot that was on the wrong side of the window sill and see that inside there is a discarded knife. I pull it out and everyone gasps. Next I go to the closet which is closed when it should be slightly open. I look inside and pull out a discarded suit and formal shoes with blood on them. "Either this murderer is very clumsy or he loves leaving hints." I say as I go to the other side of the room to pull discarded rope from the clothes basket that was left covered. When I went to open a drawer a note fell out. "hmm… 'Any of you who read this know that I will not stop until all the whores of this city are properly treated to a night of fun, but before they wake up I will slit their wrists and necks and cut out their uterus and mount it on my wall as a trophy. Beware any of you who try to catch me I will retaliate by slaughtering all those you care about so just let me do my work in peace. Love your most decent murderer' Strange letter." I say and put it in my pocket and pull out the discarded uterus which was inside a jar. I gag a bit. "That is sick." Says Silver who rushes to the bathroom to throw up. I put everything next to each other. I notice that there seems to be a bulge in the pocket of the suit. I pull out a handwritten note that says 'Nobody is free yet nobody is a slave. Everyone's a suspect while no one is the culprit. You all blame somebody, but you should not be blaming anybody. It is your fault for this to be happening to you.' "Strange, this murderer left objects so they would be found yet the note leads to the fact that nobody did it." I say. "Could the note be a riddle?" Robert asks. "No this murderer already has a signature. His signature is psychological games… quick what is the first thing that pops into your mind when you read this?" I ask. Robert quickly scanned the page and said, "Seems that nobody is placing the blame on somebody while everyone is hiding anybody." "Exactly what I mean. There is no message hidden in there except that the initials are A.E.N.S." He frowns "How does that help us?" "There use to be a gang in this area who used those initials. Their leader was described to be an educated man with a passion for killing prostitutes." I take out my phone and call Jack. "What do you need?" Jack asks. "Send S. Sam over by to my mansion I need his help. "Why Sam? You know he tends to bring something to kill with." Jack says. "That's the reason. Just send him over to my mansion." I say. "Will do." Jack says and hangs up. As I start to leave the room the girl stops me and says, "How are you gonna catch the guy?" I turn to look at her. "With your help and the girl next door's help." I say. She gasps and asks, "Why do you need us?" I smile and say, "He knows what you look like and we need bait with a message game from the girl in the other room." She nods and says, "We will follow your car." "The renovation best be done." I say to Lucifer. "It is done. I sent 200 of the best to do it." He answers and end contact. We drive home and my family is shocked to see all the renovations done by the time we got back. We now had a three times as tall house and a twice as wide one, had 12 garages, and three pools in the backyard. "When did you?" My mom starts. I ignore it as I see a figure standing in the shadow. "I assume your Silent Sam?" I say and the figure nods walking out of the shadows in a bloody hoodie. "Really need to specify what I want on someone that Jack sends next time… Out of that damn hoodie!" I say and Sam gets out of the hoodie to show he had another clean hoodie underneath. "Not gonna question that logic." I say and walk with him into the house. We go into the kitchen and I pull out a picture of the message on the wall and the girl's body, which was on the back of the room one. He stares at the pictures for a sec then writes down 'I've seen the killer before. He was never caught but he is the killer of prostitutes in Britain in 1888.' I look at his face. I know that he hates noise and anybody who speaks. He murders them by stabbing them in the chest and cutting their tongues out. The same way he killed his father. He then proceeded to sew his lips shut so he would not be disgusted by his own voice. "Is it the man whose name began with a J and ended with a R?" I ask and Silent Sam nods. "We have a much harder case now." I say as I call Jeff up. "Go to sleep… and what do you want?" Jeff says. "Get Jack, Jane, Slender, and Ben over to my mansion… and you come as well." I say and hang up. I nod to Sam and say, "Wait in the backyard they will be here shortly." He walks outside. My family, who was held off by Silver finally walk into the room I was in. I quickly pocket everything on the table and turn to them. "WHO WAS THAT!?" My mom screamed. "A friend's acquaintance and one who is none of your business." I say as I make tea for Silver and myself. "AND YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO CARE ABOUT OTHERS? WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT?" My mom screamed. "The kind of bullshit that is true if you opened your fucking eyes for a moment. Other than just being locked in your own fantasy world where you are always right." I say rudely. I see Jack, Jeff, and Jane arriving in the back yard to stand by Sam. Ben and Slenderman emerge from the forest. I walk outside to them. Silver comes out of the house and walks towards us. "So why did you want all of us to meet here?" Jack asked. "Sam and I determined the identity of the killer." Sam nodded from where he sat under a tree sketching something on a pad. "Really? That was quite fast." Jack said. "So who was the killer? Part of the people with 'the killer' at the end of their name?" Jane asked knowing that she just implied Jeff. "Very funny Jane and no. The murderer was active in 1888 and was known as 'The Ripper'. He killed prostitutes and cut out their wombs." I say and most of the people gasp. "I am the only one that actually met this man." Slendy says. "Jack, as that was his name. Killed as you said prostitutes for his own misguided reasons. He thought that without and I quote 'The whores that this planet produced, this great nation could actually become great, but while these whores stalk the land at night we will never prosper as a nation. I will kill every last one that wants quick joy with a man for a chance to steal money from him by getting pregnant.' He went around and he did kill them." "If I remember correctly he was suppose to be in England, not Romania." Jack said. Slendy turned his expressionless head towards him. "People move around and don't think I don't know that you still eat on my couch." I whistle to get their attention back to me. "This is like trying to herd ADHD cats in a mouse factory. Focus, I came up with a plan but I need your help with it." I say. "Sorry about them. Slendy doesn't like when either him or Jack eat anything on his couch." Jane says and I shake my head. "Anyway here's the plan. Slendy I need you…" Forty minutes pass as I explain the plan to them. I walk back inside to find my living room torn up and my family restraining my mom. "I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING THAT THEY SAY!" My mom screamed. I look at Matt who is standing in the back. I walk over to him and whisper, "What happened?" He quickly makes eye contact with me and whispers, "Low level possessive spirits followed us from the basement. Got into your mom and made her tear up the room looking for something they called 'The True Blade of Satan'. If you have that I would not let that leave your sight." Matt says. I glance at my mom and say, "It's with Lucifer so it should be fine unless a certain dark God comes after him." He nods and goes back to muttering a exorcism chant in Latin. I walk upstairs until I find the two girls from the dorm. "YOUR HOUSE IS GIANT!" The first year one says. "Thank you, now if you don't mind what are your names?" I ask both of them. "Tabitha." The goth one says. "Annabelle." Says the first year. I nod and point to Annabelle. "You obviously know who I am, but can you tell me how you know?" I ask. "My brother came the year that you defended them from a group of bikers. When he told me to stay away from you, I did for the first two weeks. I then noticed how everyone in the school fears yet respects you." She answers and I nod. I open the door to the room they were standing by. It was the new master bedroom that Lucifer promised me. "You seem to have the most interesting luck. You just happened to stand by my room." "WHATTT!" Annabelle screamed. Silver rushed up the stairs. "Another murder happened nearby." She said. "Who was the victim?" I ask. "Prostitute that answered a man's response for quick fun on a website." Silver said. "You know her username and this website?" I ask as she blushes and hands over a paper. I look at it and facepalm. "Well fuck that plan." I say as I walk into my room and shred the picture. I step out onto the balcony and see that a random car was driving up my driveway. "Do either of you know the car that is driving towards my house?" I ask. They rush over and gasp. "That was the car outside the dorm that day." I jump off the tenth story balcony and land in front of the car. The car stops then a man opens the door and walks over to face me. "Hello young chap. Know where I can find the nice lady named Tabitha?" He asked and I smiled. "I do know where you can find her, but before I tell you please give me the reason you want to see her." I say. He grows angry at me dodging the actual answer he wanted and asking a question. "It is none of your business on the reasons why I need to see her." "Then I have no reason to tell you where she is. Now get off my property." I say. He smiles and draws a sword that was hidden under his coat. "You wanna test your luck chap?" He asks. I summon my sword and get knives between everyone of my fingers. "You wanna test yours?" I ask. He smiles and gets the sword in a ready dueling position and gets a meat cleaver. "Your funeral." He says. I drop the knives and get the mask out. "If I put this on you will die in under a minute. You wanna test me?" I ask. He laughs and says, "Bring it little boy. I've killed others." I sigh and put the mask on. As the spikes dig into my skin I feel the power of the seventh gate of hell pour into me again. I face him and slowly spread my wings. "Your funeral will be amusing." I say as he backs away from me. I teleport behind him and stab him in his back. "That is how you killed all the 'whores' is it not? Sneaking up on them and stabbing them repeatedly? Well if you did not know Karma's a bitch." I say as he turns to see me. I chop him in half with three swings and bite his neck and drink the blood. I then proceed to fly back up to the tenth floor. Annabelle and Tabitha are stunned to see me. "I'm sure your brother warned you for a reason, Annabelle." I say and land next to them, keeping my mask on. "You are not human… What are you?" Annabelle stutters while Tabitha stares at me with interest. "I am the host of the two most powerful demons in Hell. The host of two princes of Hell and the host of the dragon Ragnarok." I say and bow to them mockingly. Silver stares at me and says, "You might wanna take the mask off." I shake my head and say, "The mask and I are one now. Its power will not leave me even if I take it off. While your mask will slowly do that to you, remember I wore this nonstop when walking to Lucifer's castle. Having this mask on for 25 years when training also gave me a long time to be corrupted by its power. It's too late to switch that so I would not worry about taking the mask off when I know its pain would become addictive after a while… This also helps me with the masquerade ball coming up." I say. Silver slowly nods at that statement. "What does that mean?" Annabelle asks. "Means you are speaking to a demon in the flesh." Tabitha said. Annabelle gasped and moved back from me. I just sigh and call up Ken. "Silver and I will meet you at the spot." I say and he says, "On my way there." I look back to Annabelle and Tabitha and ask, "You coming or staying near my family for a couple of hours?" "We'll come!" They both quickly say as I snap my fingers and teleport us near Ken. "Boo mate." I say and he jumps. "Hope your date went well." I say and he grows a bit angry. "How do you know so much? And why are you wearing a mask?" He asked. "Reasons." I say and walk back towards the center of the spot. When me and Ken neared the center the pentagram appeared and once again War stood by his horse. I see you got Famine." War said. "I also got you a host so be somewhat pleased." I say as I wave to Silver so she knows that we need her for a moment. "I WILL NOT STAY AS A GIRL! That would shatter my fragile masculinity." I sigh and say, "You will not stay in me. That would shatter my fragile heterosexuallity." He grows angrier. "Yeah, yeah. Don't you start setting off missiles just accept this." I say. "She has no combat exp…" "Before you say anything, I would not insult her in anyway. Sassing starts quickly with her." I say interrupting him from what I'm sure would be a minute long sass. "Fine but I am still sure that she is a terrible fighter with no skill whatsoever." I glance at Silver to see her get her 'sassing' face on. "You brought this upon yourself mate." I say and back away from War as Silver begins sassing him. "You don't even know me that well. We have met once so how can you say I don't have any combat experience. I mean come on how can you think you know me when we met only one other time. I am second in command for a reason you know." As the sassing continues both me and Ken start laughing to one another. "He brought this on himself." I say and Ken nods. "Seriously you may think I am weak but you couldn't be any wrong. How is it I always end up having to talk to stuck up assholes like you who don't think I can hold my own. First Vlad, then Alpha, and now you. I mean seriously the only decent people I have met that have not called me weak are Eryk, Ryan, Azazel, Ken, Poe, and Jazmine. You may think I am weak but you may want to get to know me before you fucking start judging me because I am not going to deal with another person judging me. Especially since I am his only option as a host because I am the only fucking person willing to host you. If I have to I will beat your goddamn ass down until you understand that I am just as much of an opponent as Eryk is and I am just as enough qualified as he is to be your host." I look to see Annabelle and Tabitha engaging in a discussion with each other. "I mean come on I am almost as powerful as he is and plus everything I know has been because of him. War you have no clue what kind of power I have. I will not back down from anything. You may be the second of the four riders but you are weak without a host and a strong ally." I look over to Ken who is struggling not to laugh. "That funny to you?" I ask and he nods. "You need someone strong enough to withstand being your host and since Eryk being the strongest out of everyone already has Grim the fourth rider and he refuses to be your host. You only have me the second strongest one here. I am here to be a host for you and if you think you not wanting to be sealed inside a girl is going to change anything then you are wrong. You don't know the power you are missing out." I choke back part of a laugh as War gasps. "I know you enjoy rage and anger. Oh boy you would have so much fun and enjoy having me as your host because no one in this whole living world and Hell has seen me actually burst my anger and rage. Some people have pushed me to my breaking point of annoyance good example Eryk's mother. You are going to pass out on the opportunity to experience someone's unbroken rage and anger. I mean come on you are weak and pathetic since... " Silver stops for a breath and in that time War turns to me and asks, "Can you stop her?" I laugh and answer, "I warned you not to insult her, but no. 'I'm War. I am a fucking wolf at heart' would not take the hint." I summon get rekt sunglasses. "Deal with it." "You won't even consider that even a girl can be a host for you and that you might actually enjoy it all because you don't want to tarnish your fragile masculinity and pride. Well you need to fucking pull your goddamn head out of your goddamn ass and actually take a look at the last person you want to insult, annoy, piss off, and aggravate." Wars mouth drops at her sass. Ken and I fall over laughing. "So should I go on because I can go on about how weak and pathetic you are for the rest of your immortal life and trust me I will also make it miserable for you to where you will beg me to forgive you and to also kill you. When you are begging me I will just laugh at you and say, 'Why would I give you any pleasure in forgiveness and death' when you can't even say two words to me now." He looks to me and says, "Kill me now." I give him the finger and say, "Grim is enjoying this. Why would I spoil it for you. Masculinity is love, masculinity is life?" "I think that maybe just for the hell of it I might oh I don't know give you a nice idea of just how much misery and torment you might experience from me. I think that I taking a finger here and there wouldn't even cut it . I could drain you of all but like a liter of blood to make you too weak to move while I use one of my most favorite toys, a rusty spoon so I could castrate you with it and then take oh say the same spoon and make you eat your own testicles while I grab a glass of your blood from the nice keg that I drain most of it into, to drink while I take a nice silver knife and fork to cut out your eyes." He looks at me again. "Kill me now, please!" I shake my head and say, "What's with yer tiny manhood. Ya wee specky bastard? Thought you were born Irish! BE A DAMN MAN… and hope she doesn't mention lobotomy." "I am sure after that you will see me differently well technically after that you won't be seeing anything for awhile. Oh I know another thing I will do is make you mine and Eryk's own personal blood alcohol supplier. I am sure he would enjoy that as much as I will. Ahh that would be perfect too. I wonder how you would enjoy my little friends ice pick and hammer as I give you an lobomanty in both your eyes." He looks at me and asks, "Do I even wanna know what lobotomy is?" I laugh and say, "Scraping off parts of your frontal lobe." "Oh the joy in hearing you scream bloody Marry as I torture you for the rest of eternity. I will be laughing and having so much fun. Just imagine what I would do to you if my favorite hellhounds Czarek and Aamon ever got hungry and I did not have anymore of their favorite vampire meat. I know they would enjoy the meal of feasting on an immortal rider who will not die." "She is kidding right?" War asked. I snapped my fingers and Aamon and Czarek appeared, smiling and in get rekt sunglasses. "You should not of done that twinkle toes." I say to War who was now pacing. "Ahh your screams. I can already hear them and it's music to my ears. Funny thing is that all of this will just be the beginning for you. It'll get so much worse. I mean come on I know that the Iron Maiden would be a wonderful way to extract all that wonderful blood from you after you gain enough strength to stand long enough for me to put you in the damn thing and lock it the fun I can have with the medieval torture devices and all the Egyptian torture methods too." I laugh at War's expression as he hears about all the ways she will torture him. "WHY WON'T YOU KILL ME!" He yells. Grim appears next to me giving him a finger. "I'm enjoying this too much to end it wolf or should I say puppy?" Grim said with a wicked smile. "Hell I can even bring your worst nightmare to to life if I am not already it by now, but then again by the end of the first six months at the longest I pretty much can guarantee I will be your worst nightmare. Ohh I think I even can get a little fun from some of the torture methods used by Satan." I laugh at the mention of Lucifer's torture. "Puppy think you can stand to be stabbed by a hot poker while drinking molten lead?" "Nah I think the torture methods that they used in the asylums would be even better or even the methods used by the Greeks. Oh all of the possibility just make me so excited and giddy. I wonder if I could come up with any that would make you shake in utter fear just by their name. Ohh that one would be so beautifully perfect to use on you. Oh how I will enjoy the screams, the sight to watch you burn at a stake after I drill solid diamond screws into your body along with rusted screws that end up breaking off as I drill them into your skull." "Can this crazy bitc…" War turns to me. "I need an iron maiden, a bear trap and… No I can pay for it all I have fucking gemstones as handles for doors… No You will not get a tip if you don't get it to me by the end of the week…" I turn my attention to War. "What I need to make sure she can pull all of this off, Puppy." "I know Eryk has this wonderful collection of the Saw movies. I could use all of those devices on you. I mean I am pretty sure Ken would like to try some immortal rider flesh as a special treat. I even know this one that I really like because it makes Eryk shake in fear just by hearing the voices from the device let alone when he sees the device." "Really you've been to Tartarus and you are scared of a machine… What the fuck is that?" He asks pointing to the angel trap I built when I was bored. "The recreation of the trap she mentioned. Like the idea of having steel cables drilled into your ribs and a key in nice corrosive acid?" I ask pulling out a jar with a key in it. "I wouldn't even mind trying some of the meat that you have well more like the jerky of muscles and shit you have. I mean come on I have seen wings with more protein on them. HEHEHEHEHE. I think I rather have you as my prisoner and torture toy than have you in my head all the time. I mean seriously I would be having so much fun and being in such a good mood that when I have to see his mother I won't give a shit what she has to say to me because I will be able to take everything out on you and I will also be thinking about better and curler ways to torture and make your life miserable." "That bad?" He asked. I pull out my phone and play a four hour recorded message of my mother screaming. "Imagine four hours of this and you got an average day with her… What happened to your Irish manliness are yer knees trembling?" I say in a mocking Irish accent. "I mean I will have so much time and there is so many possibilities out there and so many to start with. I mean like I could always start with gutting you or I could start with making you watch the worst movie on earth." He looks to me as I pull out the Twilight saga. I shrug and say, "My brother has weird tastes in romance… sure he could make you into a 'respectful' and 'obedient' boy toy." "Oh no I think I will start with all the other things I already named because those would be so much more satisfying than if I was to start with anything else. I mean I got the perfect idea and everything I would possibly need to make your life a living hell." He looks to me and I pull out a credit card. "I have a limitless credit card. I can pay for anything you need and you are the idiot that walked into this. Puppy seems funny that you will be her torture slave… and I get myself some more red wine…" "Ahh that would be an awesome torture for him I could even do it on her too. I just got to go get everything for it but where would I get a beating heart, 25,789,666 maggots, 77 rotten eggs, mold that has died and began growing on itself." He looks to me again. "I have an undertaker friend, much easier than she thinks it is to get dead bodies… and organs." I look at him with the bloody eye of my mask. "Tell me you ever think of cannibalizing an entire town or city? I have and I did do it. You think I'm gonna spoil her fun? Which unintentionally gets me red wine." "Wait I'll need a brain, six eyeballs, six livers, six intestines, and 666 freshly dead bodi… Oh he would help me and I wouldn't have to worry about him eating any of the shit I need for this to wor…" War put his hand to his chest in a disgusted manner and in his Irish accent blasting full force said, "Le haghaidh bean fucks mhaithe a bheidh agat aigne decrepit agus dorcha!" "Le haghaidh ag fuck fear mhaithe fás le péire idir do chosa . Úsáideann tú a ghrá chineál seo an bhean!" I yell at him. "I will not let her be my host!" I get angry and yell, "Beidh tú in iúl di a bheith ar do óstach nó tá mé raidhse de mhodhanna chéasadh nach raibh sí ag trácht ... Ifreann Tá a fhios agam déag bealaí éagsúla duine éigin a gut le clog bó!" He gasps and says, "If you do know that many ways you are a sick, sick bastard. Fine I'll let her be my ho…" "Let her be? More like ask her nicely on whether or not she will still want to be your host." He growls and changes into a 20 foot tall wolf. "Is that supposed to be your full power?" I ask as Ragnarok lands behind me, nearly six times bigger than the wolf. War turns back into human form and reluctantly asks, "Would you be my host?" Silver laughs for a bit before saying, "Told you. You would submit under my insanity. I will be your host, but if you cross or disobey me I will hold true to all of those tortures I promised I would do to you." He lowers his head and mutters "Más rud é amháin go raibh go leor de chumhacht a mharú go bean diabhal mé . Ní bheidh mo fir íon arís…" I sigh at his comment and say, "Más rud é amháin go raibh go leor de chumhacht a mharú go bean diabhal mé . Ní bheidh mo fir íon arís…" He backs away a bit and says, "No torture on the first day." I laugh knowing that if we did this in under 10 minutes… normally it takes two minutes when a person willfully allows a demon to enter their body… it would be midnight, the start of the next day. Silver steps next to War or Wolf as he liked to be called because of that animal form. After two minutes we saw War disappear and reappear. Ken and I nod at each other and step onto the seal. Silver is staggered by the initial release of all of War's power but recovers just as quickly. "So… what are we gonna do now?" Puppy asked. "I always wanted to see who would win a sparring match, you or Grim." I say as both Ken and Silver smile at the thought. "I would surely win." Puppy says as Grim appears in his robe scythe in hand. War draws the broadsword and starts to circle with Grim, eyes never leaving each other. "Why make them duel?" Ken asked. I laugh and say, "I found a loophole on how we can use the angel trap in…" I check my phone for the time. "Five minutes." I say showing both of them that it was 11:55 P.M. "Thought you hated that trap." Silver said. "I still do, but ever since I hosted Khorne to subdue Nori I found it more and more pleasing to see blood and drink blood… which is also a part of the reason I'm still wearing the mask. It helps subdue and lock away some of the bloodlust." I say. After Grim laughing for five minutes as he dodged all of Puppy's swings he said, "Time for some fun." He said as he kicked Puppy into the Angel trap and hooked him into the harness. "WHAT? I said no torture on the first day!" He yelled as he struggled against the bonds holding his arms and legs. "Yes we agreed on that… yesterday. Seeing that right now it's 12:00 A.M. I kept my promise and seeing that I no longer have to hold true to that…" I say as a mad smile creeps onto my face. "Let's play a game." I say and put the jar filled with acid and the key onto a hook that would allow him to dip his hand into the high corrosive acid, but not easily move it around his body. "Your ribs are hooked up to this beautiful machine that will pull your ribs out of your body. The key to your freedom is in this jar…" I say and point to the jar. "But the jar is filled with highly corrosive acid. So what will you do? Endure the pain of sticking your hand into acid for a chance to escape more pain or just wait for your ribs to be pulled out in the slowest and most painful way I could imagine. You have three minutes, enjoy yourself… Oh and welcome to the family." I turn to Silver, whose smile could rival Jeff's at this point. "What's going on?" Grim says, "There's gonna be a bloody good time soon." Lucifer says. "Get the other demons and Jasmine, also get Silver's demons over here since she is too happy to summon them right now." I say. "Will do." Lucifer says and a moment later all the demons in my house and Jasmine, who was still technically a soul, walked into the clearing. "Ah so that's the bloody good time Grim mentioned." Poe said as he pointed to Puppy. When they turn to me all but Lucifer and Grim ask, "Why are you still wearing that mask and why does Silver and you have a mad smile?" "To answer your first question, this mask is now a part of me and to answer your second question…" I look at the time. "Wait another minute." "WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME OF ALL THE RIDERS. WHY DID IT HAVE TO HAPPEN TO THE HANDSOME ONE?" Puppy screamed. "You mean the over concerned about his dick than his horse one and by the way 30 seconds left." I say as he reaches for the jar filled with acid and plunges his hand into it. Screaming as his flesh is melted away at an incredible pace. "Fifteen seconds." I say as his hand dissolves to barely any fat and skin just muscle and bone. "5…" His hand goes limp. "4…" His hand dissolved to a pile of bones in the jar. "3…" He looks me in the eye and mouths 'please'. I smile and say, "2…" After wards I take off my mask and walk over to him, bloodlust growing. "1…" I say as I reach him. "Times up Puppy…" I say as the machine pulls his ribs out slowly and painfully. I hear a satisfying crack as each of the ribs is pulled off his spine and he screams. Then the ribs slowly pull off all the skin on his chest. Splitting it and showering me in blood. I see Ken walk up to the body and ask, "May I?" I produce a wine bottle and pump some blood from the heart, enough to fill the bottle. "Now you can enjoy his flesh have a good snack Ken." I say as he unzips the mouth on his mask and begins to eat his flesh. I put the mask back on, not caring as it rips the skin on my face. I see Puppy reappear and fall on his back rocking back and forth. "Welcome to the family… and thanks for the wine." I say as he passes out from the pain. I teleport back to the roof of my mansion with Silver, Tabitha, and Annabelle. "Well now that we have that fiasco over with… anyone wants special red wine?" I ask and Silver laughs at my sick sense of humor. "I'd like some." Annabelle says. "You don't want that Annabelle you were not pay…" Tabitha begins but Annabelle already drank some of the blood wine. "This is quite… sweet for wine." Annabelle says. I smile and Silver gets a bit of a disgusted look but still smiles. "YOU DON'T DRINK THINGS THAT STRANGERS GIVE YOU!" Tabitha screams. "But he's not a stranger. Everyone knows who he is." Annabelle says. "Just like my therapist who knows I kill babies for breakfast and torture small animals for fun. Don't worry he says I'm making good progress." I say in a sarcastic voice. Annabelle laughs at my sarcasm but Tabitha gets angry. "You think that you can do anything just because you have wings. Some of us are unlucky. You were lucky that's all." The mask on my face grows to cover everything but my right eye. "You think I was lucky to be tortured for 500 years straight or maybe you find it funny that my best friend killed me or maybe I'm lucky to have killed him the same way he killed me. I'm not lucky in anyway. I was alive for longer than most. Yes, but you should consider yourself lucky. You did not live my life." I say as my armor appears on me. The plate now was Ragnarok's head and the shoulders looked like his talons. My left hand was now covered in an extra large gauntlet that had razor sharp fingers. It was used for slashing or stabbing opponents while it could be used to block. My left hand had a strange piece of metal covering my entire hand, but I realized that was to help the wrist recover from a heavy blow. The cape had a pentagram on it and in the middle of the star was Author's symbol. In my hand the sword was summoned and the mask once again retreated to half of my face. "You do not know how lucky you are. To be able to avoid what I went through." I say as I put the armored claw on Annabelle's shoulder saying, "You might also forget any plans of helping me. You would not last against anyone of my students if you started this late." She takes a step back when she sees my armor but then says, "I want to be a guard to you and Silver." I nod saying, "That is a good reason to work for. Now tell me the actual reason you wanna stay near us." She gasps a bit but truthfully says, "I'm terrified of what might happen if I bump into one of the people that might make you fight." I nod and snap my fingers causing Touka to appear. "Sorry to disturb you, but I got you a new recruit to train." I say. She sighs and looks over Annabelle. "She will be eaten alive by the veterans." Touka says. "I know that will happen. That's why you will be training and protecting her." I say. "WHAT!?" Touka yelled. "What am I gonna do with the veterans I'm training?" "I'll reassign them to Ken's unit." I say and she calms down a bit. "I still don't like it." Tauka says as I teleport Ken to us. Face bloodied from eating. He has some more flesh in his hands. "I hope you like immortal flesh." I say with a smile as I teleport Silver and Tabitha away. "Why are you still here?" Ken asks. "Annabelle has to see what may happen to her and I need to teleport her down afterwards." I say and make the armor and sword disappear. "Ok." Ken said understandingly as he handed Touka the flesh. "What is she gonna do with the flesh?" Annabelle asks. To answer her question she took a large chunk of the flesh and started eating it. Blood gushing from every bite. Annabelle fell to her knees trying not to vomit. "I warned you. You would not last a week." I say as I pat her on the back as she tries to keep the vomit down. "It's quite embarrassing for a lady to be on her knees near a man. Stand up and accept that you were protected from the nightmares of this world." Ken says. I sigh. "That is your head first mentality speaking. Not the nice guy I met in Canada." I say as Annabelle stands up. She is weak in the knee and still a bit pale. "I am speaking the truth and nothing but the truth." Ken said. "Really?" I say with a smile. "Yes." Ken said. "Then tell me Mr. truthful what do you feel for Touka?" I say. He stops smiling and glances her way. She is staring at him with interest. "Well?" I ask. "I… I… I love her." He muttered not loud enough for her to hear. "What was that? I could not hear you." I say. "I love her." He said a bit louder but still not loud enough for her to hear. "Scream it boy!" I say and he finally yells, "I LOVE HER!" She smiled and all but tackled him into a kiss. I laugh as it happens and teleport Annabelle and myself to Silver and Tabitha. "What did you do to her? She is as pale as a skeleton!" Tabitha yelled. "I showed her the truth of what would happen to her if she became our guard." I said and walked over to Silver. "Wine?" I ask and pull out the bottle. The door to my room opens and my mom, of all people, walks in. "And where have… WHY DO YOU HAVE WINE!" "Oh for fucks sake, OUT OF MY ROOM!" I yell. "NO I WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF! AND WHY ARE YOU WEARING A MASK!" She yelled back. I had to really struggle not to summon my armor or sword. "I can do what I want and I want you out of my room!" I say in a slightly demonically enhanced voice. "Thank you Lucifer." I said in my head. "No problem." He said. "DON'T YOU USE THAT TONE WITH ME!" My mom screamed. "GUESS WHAT. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME STOP USING THIS TONE AND I WANT YOU OUT OF THIS ROOM!" I say.
