Chapter 22

Logan's P.O.V.

Man my body feels so sore. What did I do last night? The last thing I remember was hanging out with Anna and went to bed after she left. God, my entire body is so sore, my arms and legs felt like they're being stretched, my bed feels like stone and...wait a second. I think I'm actually laying on stone. And I don't think I can move my arms and legs either. Okay what the hell is going on?!

I slowly opened my eyes so that I can figure out what is going on. Once they were fully opened, they widened when I saw that I wasn't in my apartment any more. Heck I wasn't even in a bed. From what I could see I was in some kind of basement. The walls were this dark colored stone with chains and torches attached to them. It felt utterly damp and cold and gave me a sense of unease. I looked at myself seeing that I was still in my night clothes (a t-shirt and sweatpants) and that my hands and feet were shackled to the walls. I tried to break free but they wouldn't budge. Even with my demon strength, I couldn't get free.

"Mmmmmhmm" I turned my head hearing a noise, and my eyes widened again but this time with terror. To my left I saw Melody, Ciel and even Hector, shackled to the wall like I was. And seeing my their appearances, they were taken in the middle of the night too. Now I'm really worried. Who the hell took us and why did they take us. I turned towards Melody seeing that she was the closest to me.

"Melody", I said, "Melody wake up". She didn't respond so I continued to call out to her until she stirred. She let out a yawn before she responded to me.

"Logan? How did you…" she stopped mid-sentence once she realized she wasn't in her apartment. In fact once she took a good look around, she looked, dare I say scared. Melody and scared, I never thought I'd use those words in the same sentence together. But that's besides the point.

"Melody do you know where we are?" I asked.

"No no no no no this isn't happening", she said not paying attention to me.

"Melody calm down", I told her, "where the hell are we exactly?"

"Hell…"

"What?"

"We're in hell Logan", she said in a frightful tone. I've never seen her like this and it's starting to freak me out. Before I could respond back to her, I started to hear Ciel and Hector wake up. They were a bit dazed, but once they realized they weren't in their homes, they snapped right awake.

"W-w-where are we?" Hector started looking around, shaking with fear.

"We're in hell", Melody replied.

"Seriously? Ah not again", Ciel said with a slight groan. This is getting really freaky. Who the hell did this do us?! As if on cue we started to hear some footsteps coming towards us. I looked to the others and noticed that Hector grew extremely pale with fear. As the footsteps come closer I started to get a better look of our kidnapper.

He seemed somewhat muscular but it was hard to tell with his attire. He was wearing an all black outfit with a thick jacket with chains in the pockets. The metal on his combat boot made a "clack clack" noise as he kept walking to us. His skin was very pale, not as pale as mine or Sebastian's, but this guy was a close second. His dirty blonde hair was slicked back and reached to the nape of his neck showing off his angular facial features. His eyes were really strange. They were like this combination of gold and silver, but they were definitely something that I have never seen. But for some reason it feels like I know this guy.

I looked to the others and was shocked to see that Melody grew twice as pale and started to shake. She tried to keep a brave face, but the fear was defiantly in her eyes.

Who the hell was this guy?!

"Ah, you're all finally awake", he said smirking wickedly at us. He slowly walked closer and I saw that he was also carrying a bag. Our kidnapper, placed it on a table and started to take out different torture weapons. With each one, Melody and Hector grew paler and paler. I started to get really worried too.

"W-W-Why are you even doing this?" Hector said, "we don't even know you".

"No, but you do know my mate".

His mate?

"Your mate?", I repeated aloud.

"Yes, in fact she knows you personally Logan. Oh, she was so fond of fighting and tormenting you. My precious Abaddon", he said turning towards me, his smile becoming more wicked, "but you know her by Miranda". My eyes widened at this. Miranda was his mate. That low life, psychotic bitch has a mate, who is more insane than she is. What the actual fuck!? Before I could think of anything else, the demon spoke again. "You know, when she found out that you and your half-blood sister had survived her blade, she was very upset. Furious in fact. And I do hate her becoming so upset...so I decided something…"

"D-Decided what exactly?", Ciel questioned trying to stay calm. The demon looked to all of us his eyes glowing with demonic power and pure hatred.

"To put an end to you myself".

All four teens went wide eyed and tensed at what the elder demon said. Hector was shaking and completely white with fear. Ciel was trying to stay calm, but was trembling with panic. Even Logan was scared out of his mind. With all of he had been through, he'd never met a demon so adamant and twisted about killing them. He looked over to Melody and saw that she wasn't doing any better. She tried to remain calm, but it was obvious that she was shaking with fear. All of the color was washed away from her face as her eyes darted back and forth from the demon and his weapons. The demon smirked at us as he let out a low chuckle.

"My aren't you all shaking. It's quite adorable".

"You won't get away with this Cain!", Melody shouted trying to appear brave. The demon only smirked more to this.

"Oh so you do know my name?", he replied. "How adorable, but I'm afraid I'm already getting away with it".

"F-For now atleast! Once Lord Satan and Lilith find out about this, it will be the end of you! You know the punishment for harming one of his children, what do you wanna bet it's even worse when it involves his grandchildren." Melody replied. This made the elder;now known as Cain, stopped for a moment, as if processing what the ravenette said. But then he broke out in a cringing, horrible laughter making all of the teens tense a bit more.

"You honestly think I give a damn! He and his mate has grown too soft. They're barely fit to be called demons. What they won't know won't kill them...now", he said grabbing a whip from the table of torture devices, "whose first?" He started to walk along to where the teens were being hanged. After a few minutes he stopped right in front of Melody. "How about with you. You know it's going to a shame that I'm going to have to scar a lovely face", said caressing her cheek slowly, his claws just tracing her cheeks and neck. This action made Ciel absolutely furious. How dare that bastard touch his Melody!

"Get your filthy hands off of my Melody!" he shouted, making the demon turn to him with an amused look on his face.

"I believe I may do as I wish boy".

"Don't you dare talk to him like that!", Melody retorted, spitting in his face. Cain merely gave her a blank look and wiped off her spit. Before he could reply back, the sound of foot prints echoed through the dungeon.

"S-Someone's coming", Hector said, hope coming into his eyes. Melody looked to see who the visitor was. For the most part the other was a male demon. She could sense that he had a lot of power, and his scent seemed familiar. It smelled like apples, cinnamon and...marijuana. Her eye widened realizing who this was.

"Lucifer..", she muttered to herself. Cain, realizing who was coming, muttered a spell while the teens were distracted, making them mute and invisible to anyone but themselves.

As the other male came closer, the others were able to see what he looked like. Logan almost took him as Sebastian, but then realized that he wasn't the demonic butler. They had a similar facial structure, but this one was more rugged looking and had scars on his lip and under his right eye. His hair was weaved into long dreadlocks and held up with a brown leather strap. His eyes were a dark shade of red. The demon's overall attire was very strange. He wore black tight fitting pants with matching combat boots that reached mid-calf. He was wearing a tight fitting trench coat with patches of leather sewn on. His entire being radiated Danger! Danger! Stay Away! But if the teens were to have any chance to survive, he was their only chance.

"Lucifer! Lucifer help us!", Melody called out.

"I thought you said he was a psychopath", Logan questioned.

"Yeah, but he's our only chance of getting out of here", she replied. Logan stayed quiet to his knowing that she was right. The demonic girl continued to call out to Lucifer, but he didn't even look her way. "Ugh, why isn't he listening!?", she groaned growing confused.

"Cain probably did something to us", Logan said, making Melody's eyes widened with fear. She looked back to the elder demons and saw that Lucifer was talking to Cain.

"Cain, what are you doing here?", he asked unaware that the other had teenagers hung and held captive.

"Oh, well I just thought I'd clean this up a bit for the next captive", Cain lied, "what are you doing sire?" Lucifer looked at the wall and sniffed the air before replying back.

"Hm, oh. I was just looking for one of my whips is all", he replied sniffing the air a few more times. Cain nodded giving him a fake smile.

"Of course, I think it's over in that corner". Lucifer nodded and headed towards where Cain had pointed to. He had passed all of the teens unaware that they were even there. He grabbed his whip and sniffed the air one more time before taking his leave. Once the other was completely out of earshot, Cain undid the spell and chuckled to himself.

"Out of all of his children, Lucifer is by far the dumbest", he said. He took a weapon off of the table and turned back to the teens. "Now shall we begin then?" All of the teens tensed up and grew paperwhite. They had no chance of escaping this.

We're going to die!

What Cain had not counted on was that the fearsome King and Queen were arriving home ealry. Unlike most assumptions of the king of Hell, he is a very kind father and husband. Satan is not what you would expect the king of Hell to look like. In fact, he resembled the infamous pirate Blackbeard with his black beard that was decorated with small beads at the end of a few braided sections, towering height, and deep voice. Only Satan had bright blue eyes, a leftover trait from his days as an angel. He no longer missed Heaven, for Lilith is the personification of the heavenly realm in his eyes. Lilith appeared to be in her early to mid forties with curly, maroon, almost black hair that reached her waist, and blood-red eyes. In fact, she could be mistaken as a redhead Alex Kingston. As the two arrived back to their dark palace, Lilith had enough and let out a small groan.

"I can't stand that damn spider! If we spent one more minute with her, I swear." Lilith complained then rubbed her temples in irritation. Satan turned to his mate and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"I know love, but we only see her every couple of months", he told her. Lilith let out a sigh.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it." she reminded him. "That spider is such a . ." She stopped, hearing faint screaming from below them. "Darling, I don't recall us having any prisoners today."

"Neither do I", Satan replied also hearing the screaming. Before he could questioned it any further, he saw that his second son; Lucifer, was walking towards them.

"Mother, Father you're back", the young demon started, "I need to tell you something".

"What is it Lucifer?"

"I believe that Cain has taken some half bloods and a human hostage. I couldn't see them, but I was able to detect their scents. Two half-bloods, a demon and a human. All somewhat young". Lilith grew wide-eyed in horror hearing this and ran down to the dungeons as fast as demonically possible in a long dress. Cain was going to have Hell to pay from the Queen of Hell. "CAIN! Stop this immediately!" she shouted, arriving at the dungeons. Cain completely went stiff hearing Satan's mate voice. He turned to her shaking out of both fear and shock.

"M-My Lady. I-I-I didn't realize you'd be coming back so soon", Cain stuttered glared at the younger demon before raising her hand and snapping her fingers, making thorny vines burst from the floor and wrapping around Cain as makeshift bonds. "I'll deal with you later." she snarled before turning to the four teens. Once the Hell Knight was tied up, Satan and Lucifer finally caught up to Lilith. They both saw Cain and just gave him a blank look of utter disappointment. Satan turned and walked to the four teens hanging on the wall. What he was seeing nearly made him step back from shock.

All four teens were covered in scratches, and whip marks. Their clothes were dyed red with their own blood and tattered. He looked closely and saw that they were still alive, but only barely. He was most surprised with the blonde human. Satan would have suspected him to die from this amount of torture, but luckily that didn't happen. He walked up to one of the other males and started to undo his and the blondes and carried them over his shoulders. Their blood started to stain his coat, but it didn't bother him. "Lilith we need to get these children to a healing room and quickly". Lilith nodded in understandment as she released the blue-haired teen and the ravenette then carried them in her arms. Before they left Satan looked to Lucifer

"I can trust that you'll take care of this one", he said glancing his eyes towards Cain. Lucifer smirked showing his sharp fangs and turned towards Cain with a frightening smile on his face.

"It will be my pleasure Father".

With that said, Satan and Lilith left the dungeon. As they ran upstairs, their blood began to stain their clothes even further. Lilith's dress was slowly turning red with their blood. But she wasn't really paying attention as she laid the two demons down and began to heal the two frantically as her mate took care of the other two boys. After an hour of almost constant healing spells and potions until the three demonic teens were stable. The blonde boy on the other hand wasn't responding as well to their healing. Even at Satan's full power, the blonde human only responded to a mere percent of it. Satan make a sound of annoyance seeing this. His mate took notice of this. "The blonde will have to go back to the human realm. He smells of that human community, New York City," Lilith decided, turning to her mate. Satan nodded in agreement and snapped his fingers summoning two identical servants, wearing black uniforms with the symbol of Satan's mark. They both looked up to their Lord, their white bangs moving away showing their red eyes.

"Take this human to the nearest healing facility in New York City. And do it quickly he doesn't have much time". The servants nodded and bowed quickly before carefully grabbing the human and taking him into the human realm. Satan sighed a bit walked over to the other teens. Lilith let out a small sigh and sat on the end of the raven haired boy's bed. She looked at him and a curious look appeared on her face, She moved his bangs away and grew a little wide-eyed seeing the striking resemblance the boy had to her youngest son.

"Darling, this boy . . he looks like Malphie." Lilith pointed out, using the affectionate nickname for her son. Satan looked over to the ravenette and nodded in agreement.

"You are right, my love, I believe that he could be his son. The girl", he said looking over to her, "is also his daughter. I've meet her before, but not the son". Lilith grew wide-eyed hearing Satan's words.

"Oh? I don't recall him having any children, or a lover for that matter. When was this?" Lilith questioned.

"When Calypso went missing several years ago. We all looked in different locations and Lucifer ran into the girl."

"Oh . . right . "Lilith mumbled, recalling the day Calypso snuck out. "In that case, we should fetch him right away."
