Now for the drool worthy kingdom of lust.
Jessica's eyes were the size of saucers and she looked around like a kid in a candy store with twenty bucks to spend.
"Oh. My. God!" she squealed, "I thought we were in Hell, turns out we went to Heaven!" I slapped my forehead in disbelief.
"I don't know WHAT she is talking about," Melinda said shaking her head. With the True Sight given to us by our cats we could see the demons for what they really were. If I looked with my regular eyes I could see what Jessica meant but Melinda a being born of this realm though not a demon herself couldn't see what we could and could only see the monsters that they were.
"Well without our True Sight I can sort of understand but it seems they know we can see them for what they really are and are shaping themselves to look like Jessica's ideals for the perfect guys."
"In other words…" Melinda started.
"They all look like Dean…or some wrestler or something," I muttered.
Melinda shuddered as she saw Jessica cozy up beside a particularly vile demon as it wrapped its claw around her shoulder. I actually blanched a little.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," I groaned. One of the demons, obviously new to the world, sauntered up to me trying to throw an arm around me. I twisted it off of me, breaking his arm.
"Try that again and I'll break more than your arm," I snarled.
The grimy lust demon slunk away.
"Someone's uptight," Melinda said.
"Someone is tired of Hell," I retorted. She shrugged and nodded in agreement.
"Come on, Jess we have places we need to be," I growled taking her arm.
"But look at all the men they are all so hot, and paying attention to me," she moaned reaching forward. I heard two sharp growling barks. I tossed a glance over my shoulder. Loki bounded through the streets jumping up on me.
"Hey pup," I greeted patting him on the head pushing him off of me. When they weren't raging beasts they were the size of English Mastiffs.
"How do you think we are gonna get Jess outta here?" Melinda asked gesturing to Jessica.
"I got nothing," I replied. Loki whined and pawed at my pant cuff.
"What's he trying to tell you?"
"Do I look like I speak Hellhound?" I demanded, placing my fists on my hips. Melinda flushed a little. I sighed, "Okay look I think I may have a plan. You see that demon Jessica's all over like a cheap suite?" I pointed to them.
"Yeah…"
"Watch and learn, Flee," I smirked evilly, "Loki, sic-em boy! Herd him to the gate!" I called. Before our eyes the mastiff sized dog grew to the size of a bear. His fangs dripped a mix of acid and saliva. He grew claws the size of a full grown man's hand. I smirked at Melinda crossing my arms.
"Hellhounds, that is why every demon should have at least one on their side," I said cockily. There was a screech of a demon, (the one I ordered taken to the gate) followed by Jessica's own screech demanding, "Loki let him go."
Melinda and I sauntered through the kingdom of Lust like nobody's business. We weren't approached once by the Lust Demons or the Kings demonsend. Absolutely ironic considering Wrath was all about trying to get me into his bed.
When we got to the gate Loki was flopped there waiting on us, the lust demon still in his claws and Jessica trying to get him out. I smiled at Loki.
"Good boy," I said, patting him.
"Good boy!" Jessica screeched, "Like hell! Tell him to let go!"
"Oh dear Lord," I groaned, slapping my forehead.
"I doubt he would hear you here," came a deep voice from behind me. I felt my eyes widen in shock and fear. I spun around to come face to face with the most gorgeous demon-lord I had ever seen. I swear I think my heart skipped a beat. It was looking at him I got the faint idea of why mom and dad fell in love. I was still using true sight so I knew it was no illusion.
"Oh Mercy of Freyja," I gasped. Melinda, our ever vigilant siren, God bless her, glanced from the demon to me and back.
"Uhhh, Lindsey?" she said, snapping her fingers in my face pulling me from my reverie.
"Oh sorry," I said, shaking my head.
"So you're the little half demoness my eldest brother has been all abuzz about? I really can't see what all he is a tizzy over you for," he growled.
"Okay. Hotness gone," I snarled crossing my arms.
"Ah there it is," he said, smirking, "Well, as I owe Typhus a favor I am afraid I will have to take you to him."
"Touch me and gain a stump," I hissed. Suddenly my ears perked up at the sounds of millions of demonsends wings beating the air.
"Oh mother fudge," Melinda muttered under her breath. I spun around to the gate and reached for it only to be yanked back into the larger demons muscular form. Melinda opened her mouth to give a screeching cry.
"NO! FLEE I AM RIGHT HERE! YOU WANNA SHATTER MY EARDRUMS OR SOMETHING!" I yelled.
"Well what do you propose I do? I don't have an instrument!"
"It wouldn't work anyway! They are LUST demons! I suggest you move! Get as close to that door and get ready to move!" I shouted. The Lust demon laughed.
"You are a fool if you think you can escape," he roared.
"Well call me Dumbo," I snarled, swinging my boot up directly into his eye. With an agonized roar he dropped me in favor of his wounded eye. I landed in a crouch diving for the door, slamming my palm against it and muttering the spell under my breath.
I glanced back and called out to my friends, "Mindy! Grab Jess! Loki! Let's scat boy!" The hellhound dropped the pathetic lust demon and bounded toward me while poor Melinda drug the thrashing Jessica through the portal. With a wave of my hand the portal closed.
I turned to my friends. Jessica's scaled face was flushed and her eyes wide with embarrassment. Melinda was crouched low catching her breath. Loki sat at my side his wolf-like tail curled about his legs as he watched the goings on.
"We are to NEVER speak of this again," Jessica said flatly. I nodded as did Melinda before they turned to our newest obstacle.
"Well ladies welcome to the City of Envy."
I know it "took me long enough" as said by one of my dear friends when I sent her some pics but I have been having…technical difficulties, such as school, and art work, and trying to get my blankety-blank computer to blankety-blank work.
The Tuneless Siren: I actually gave you more of a roll in this one. You know I feel kinda guilty about that but I am glad you enjoy it.
Deans True Girl: YOU SLUT! LOL j/k you know I love you like a voster.
