Innocence
Chapter 6 Midnite's Bar
Meanwhile…
Mammon had never set foot out of Hell in his life he had never been allowed. His father thought he was the high almighty be all and end all.
The truth was something very different and boy was he in for a shock. Mammon had no intention of handing earth over to his already inflated ego father no this was all his.
He had one quick task to take care of before he created history no demon had successfully tipped the balance in favour of evil that was until today.
Firstly he had to sort out Luceria. She was incredible she had so much power yet knew nought but a fraction of it if she wasn't his sister gone wrong he would have idolised her.
Ever since his mother had brought that brat up here everything had started going wrong.
Luceria was the second child of Lucifer and Merisier the rulers of the kingdom of Hell, Mammon himself was their first. The child was born and all was well his mother was happy finally she had a baby girl to fuss over. Lucifer had never allowed Merisier to spoil him after all he was his only son and heir of the thrown. After only a couple of days they all knew all was not well with the new baby she couldn't cope with the extreme heat of Hell never laughed as he had at the sight of his father torturing worthless humans no, this child was defiantly wrong. Finally the two happy parents realised the problem, their child was not evil in fact she was the exact opposite she was good, pure and innocent. She had the power of course she did after all she was the daughter of Hell's king and queen but on top of that she had an aura something he did not she was set for great things but that wasn't to be.
Mammon's father had wanted to kill the child she was too much of a threat to him. She had the power the potential to bring Hell to a stand still she could freeze Hell over if she wished. If God or one of his servants got their hands on Luceria he was in BIG trouble. That's exactly what happened Satan's daughter had been brought up to love and worship God the one thing he had feared and them worse she had found John Constantine. Not only this but she had tapped into her power she was to be the new ruler of Hell when she was born it was her destiny Mammon was an heir decided by blood but Luceria she was predestined by her aura, her essence. She had realised her power and knew of their plan Mammon just hoped she knew not of his plan to double cross his father.
His sister must die she was all that stood between him and complete control over earth and Hell but he knew this would never happen he had no chance against the true queen of Hell she would crush him instead he would use her… If he could get Luceria to kill his father and mother there would be no one to stop him she didn't want Hell she had made that perfectly clear, Hell must exist for the balance to be kept and so he would be king and when he was Earth didn't stand a chance.
"Are you shitting me?" John choked dropping his precious cigarette.
"Do I look like I am?" Gaia said her face set in place deadly serious.
"Mammon? On earth? Now?" John said slowly and carefully making sure Gaia was 101 sure of what she was saying. This was huge if Satan's son was here on Earth that meant a load of bullshit for him as well as a catastrophic effect on the balance.
Gaia nodded standing and walking towards the kitchen. Chas looked shocked just a minute ago he was looking into her beautiful crystal clear eyes wondering if their friendship could go further and now he was being told Mammon was about to turn this place into Hell things were getting pretty fucked up.
"Right that's it if Midnite want's to be neutral at a time like this he's goddamn crazy come on we gotta go there might not be that much time left." He took one last puff of his fag then flicked it into the ass tray.
"Two dogs on a fence." John said walking into the crowded bar.
Gaia was nervous she had never done anything like this before she wasn't even sure she could.
Chas went next feeling equally as nervous.
"A wolf in the sea." He said hesitantly.
The large bouncer lifted the velvet rope letting him enter. Gaia smiled as a huge grin spread across his face.
"John I did it! I finally got it right!" He squealed earning a disapproving look from some half breeds.
The bouncer replaced the rope picking a new card for her.
"Man on fire." Gaia said casually with a hint of malice over powering her voice.
It took her a good few seconds to realise what she said clamping a hand firmly over her mouth.
The bouncer didn't bat an eyelid instead he removed the rope leaning in close to the shocked 16 year old.
"Welcome to Midnite's Luceria"
"Thank you"
The trio made their way silently through the many half breed's keeping a close eye for any suspicious behaviour none of them knew when Mammon would turn up but wanted to be prepared when he did.
"John Constantine." Midnite said seriously as they entered his office.
"Too long have I waited do you not know what's going on"
"Why do you think I'm here a social visit"
"Ha I see you haven't lost your sense of humour in all this chaos"
"Not quite Midnite no. Do you know Gaia"
Midnite turned his head suddenly realising him and John weren't alone.
"Ahh Luceria I was wondering when I would be meeting the future queen of the underworld"
"It's Gaia, and I don't intend in being the queen of anything let alone Hell" She spat.
"I don't think it wise to speak that tone with we lady, you don't know whom you're messing with. Why are you here? Do you know how many half breeds are after your blood"
"I'm sorry. Mammon is here I don't have time for half breeds can you help us"
Midnite turned to John looking him up and down a strange look over coming his face.
"You bring her into my house to insult me, you bring her into my house knowing fine well what and who she is, you bring her into MY house knowing the balance is in danger. SHE is evil Constantine she may not know it but Hell runs in her veins Lucifer was naive he knew not of her ability to choose her ability to influence. She will go to him before the end and then not you nor I can save the souls of those she seeks"
"What the fuck are you goddamn fucking talking about you stupid mother fucking piece of shit!" John screamed the veins sticking out from his neck.
"I came here because Gaia told me Mammon was here, I came here because Gaia informed me of the entire situation as soon as she found out something was going on don't you dare bad mouth her in front of me YOU have no idea who you're dealing with"
Midnite nodded acknowledging his mistake.
"My apologies John, Luceria forgive me but Mammon is out there he will do anything to get to her. She is the only one with the power to get rid of Lucifer he will be looking for his little sister"
"Wait a minute what do you mean get rid of Lucifer." Chas interrupted clearly as confused as he looked!
"Surly you didn't think Mammon would just do as his father told? No, my boy he has far bigger plans. He wants Hell he wants his father gone and he wants Luceria, Gaia to do so for him"
"Me? How can I? I have no power I don't know what I can or cannot do I'm nothing compared with him"
"Oh no you are everything. Why do you think he's hiding in Hell? Why so you think he sent his son to do his dirty work? He is afraid my darling afraid of you"
Gaia shook her head refusing to believe she had that sort of power come on Satan was well he was the devil!
"Well, you will see soon enough my child, you will see soon enough."
