Daria inhaled air and took a step outside, her father was just waiting for her. She knew he would be taking her to the satanic chapel to wed her off. For sure it was not the place she imagined herself to ever be. But that again, when did she ever expect herself to end up in Hell?

- You look absolutely stunning, deerie. - Rado Demon commented.

She was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. The one she and her mother picked the other day in Rosie's emporium. It had long sleeves and was completely white, an unpopular color for dress in Hell, but Alastor insisted on it. He wanted her daughter to look traditional. It was pretty obvious to Daria, the whole ceremony was to his taste. She didn't mind it that much, this won't change the fact it was fake anyway, except she was now stuck looking like a bride from a period drama.

What does any of this have to do with her? She noticed her dad acted even more like a gentleman from the early XX century ever since they first arrived in Hell. Back on Earth he wasn't nearly as stiff, even if he focused a lot on proper manners or tradition. Like he tried to prove something to other overlords, and insisted his whole family act their part.

Her friends and family were sitting on rows of pegs, notably the ones that shouldn't be dead yet looked more disturb than happy. She noticed her grandma was flapping the bird at her dad right before she entered the chapel. Aunt Hannah also didn't look like she was crying out of joy… This is going to be a mess...

"Ugh, so dad did "invite" them, after all" - Daria thought.

The doe took Alastor's arm. She looked at her groom waiting for her at the end of the red carpet. behind him was King Lucifer. This was the first time she ever saw him in person. At the first glance he didn't look that suspicious. He has a lot of his daughter's features, in fact, one could think he was not a demon. His white, fair skin and red cheeks with addition of shining, blonde hair could fool one into believing he was an innocent soul. He wasn't even that tall, hardly around the same height as Charlie.

The menacing smile full of rotten fangs however made it clear this was a king of evil himself. Weird how she could feel comfortable and happy around various demons, her father included, but the cold sheever got under her spine the more she looked at King Lucifer. He glanced back at her. He had the eyes of a hunter waiting to shoot his prey, double by the sociopathic smile he put on.

As they step down the end of the carpet, Alastor gives her hoof to the groom and moves to her left.

She was scared, but then she saw Anthony's face. He smiled warmly at her, they both were friends. Why would she not trust him? The whole panic disappeared. She knew she was doing this for him, to help. They soon will be divorced, and everything will be alright again.

Anthony on the other hand knew that despite his hesitations, he needed to be brave and put his best smile to his bride. Doe was there for him, and made an effort to end his deal with Val. Something she really didn't have to. He didn't quite know what she would gain from this marriage, and it just occurred to him. Did she have any other goal than to help him? No wonder she was once an angel…

- Dearly beloved. - King of demons started, sarcastically putting emphasis on the "beloved" part. - We gather here today to join those two demons in their unholy union.

He joined their hands together and continued.

- Do you, Antonio Ragnatela, accept this demoness as a part of your soul? Will you agree to all the terms of the marriage contract in order to gain elements of her powers and control of her free will?

They both open their eyes wide. What the fuck was with those woves? Was that normal in Hell?

- At this point I like to remind you two have no right to say "no". - Lucifer started coldly looking at the young couple.

- I...I do. - Hooker nervously said. He hoped it was just a simple formula, twisted spin on normal human wovs. But deep down he knows those weren't just words.

- Do you, Daria Basco, accept this demon as a part of your soul? Will you agree to all the terms of the marriage contract in order to gain elements of his powers and control of his free will?

Spider noded to reassure her. They were in this together.

- I do. - She answered.

- If anybody here knows the reason why they shouldn't be wed, then please, who cares? I could wed them to my toilet If I wanted, and force them to have oral sex with it every morning, so they are still better off with each other. - He chuckled.

The demons in the chapel laugh nervously. Yes, it was a joke, the one that king Lucifer was famous for, but there was also no denial he would do something like this to the ones who disobeyed him. Or to anybody random, if he happens to have a bad day, really.

- Now, please, for the formal part of the ceremony, sign this up. - He gives them sharp pens. - Prick your fingers, or any body part you prefer and use your blood. - he instructed them.

As they gulped the saliva, they both used drops of their blood to sign the contract.

- You may kiss the bride. - Lucifer smirked, this kind of wedding was right in his alley. He could see quite well both parties were not exactly hating it, but forced themself for whatever reason. He honestly couldn't be bothered to guess what the reason was, probably just one of them or even both was power hungry. Predictable. Still, it was clearly a forced union. He loved to join couples against their will, since the beauty of miserable souls was something worth living for. What a fortune he agreed to wed those two.

They leaned to each other and kissed.

The kiss didn't last long but the newlyweds relaxed a bit during it, despite being watched by everyone in the chapel. There was something comforting about it while they were in this madness. It was actually sweet and warm. Daria felt like her wings started to flap by themselves. Anthony patted Daria's cheek delicately before breaking it. Even when they stopped, they looked each other in the eyes for some time. To the surprise of some guests they hugged each other right after it. Whatever was waiting for them, in this fake relationship they were not going to face it alone.

Lucifer growled a bit, just a minute ago he could sense their fear and sadness, but now more happy emotions take over, not even lust, just pure enjoyment and comfort. Well, then, there was still plenty of despair on the road if that contract they just signed was any indication. Don Henroin had couple of great sugestions, how to torture them.

Today's my birthday so I'm updating all my current fanficks so I hope everybody will find something for themselves. :)
