Chapter 05: Prince of Hell
Cagalli awoke the following morning around seven. She got out of bed and went to take a shower since she hadn't taken one the day before being kidnapped and everything. She came out the shower wearing a bath robe and then put on her clothes she was wearing the night she was kidnapped. Once she was dresses she flopped herself on the bed with her arms stretched out.
"I wonder when Athrun will come?" she thought to herself just before Athrun entered the room
"Hello Cagalli" Athrun said entering her room. He was dressed in dark blue pants and a green t-shirt that matched his eyes and was holding a torch.
"Hi" She replied now sitting on the edge of the bed
"so do you want to go see the gardens now?" Athrun asked
"Sure, but what is the torch for" Cagalli replied standing up
"This is so we can see, here in hell forest it's night all the time so we need this to see" He informed her
"oh ok" and she followed him to the gardens
She felt very uncomfortable by all the looks she was getting from the hell fairies in the Zala palace and by there appearance. So she kept close to Athrun but that's when she noticed that he looked different from all the other hell fairies, he didn't have the horns on his back or forehead. She wanted to ask him about it but figured it was best to wait till they were alone.
When they entered the garden she noticed that it was huge and all the flowers were red.
"I know it isn't much but it's better then being in a room all day" Athrun spoke
"Yea" Cagalli replied
"Athrun, how come you so nice to me I mean I am a prisoner here" she asked
"Oh..I..Ah" he said searching for the words to come and running his hand through his dark blue hair.
"How come you're so different from all the other hell fairies" Cagalli asked
"Oh yea I get that a lot it's because of my mother she was a heaven fairy so I have her kindness in me" Athrun informed her
"Was? Why what happened to her?" Cagalli asked
"She died when I was little" he replied
"I'm sorry" She sad noticing the sad expression on his face
"it's alright" Athrun told her
"So is that why you don't have horns like the others" Cagalli asked
"Yes I have most of my mother in me but I do have the black wings like all the other hell fairies. But my father wishes I was more like the other hell fairies so he excludes me from everyone and everything as if I weren't his son" he told her
"I'm sorry" Cagalli apologized again
"Don't worry about it, I'm happy with who I am I just wish I were accepted" Athrun assured her
"My mother told me before she died that I will take the from of my true loves kiss and I will then be accepted" He informed her
"I'm sure you'll find your true love" Cagalli replied trying to comfort him
Athrun just smiled at her which caused her to blush. Cagalli and Athrun spent the whole day in the gardens talking but little did they know they were being watched.
"So that son of mine has fallen in love with the princess of heaven" The hell king noted
"It would appear that way sir" one of the servants replied
"I think I may have come up with a way to turn Athrun into one of us" The king said
"How's that sir?" The servant asked
"We change the princess into a hell fairy, and he will for sure follow her" the king told him
"Are you sure that will work sir?" the servant asked
"Of course" The king said banging his fist on his desk
"Bring her here when she wakes up in the morning" The king ordered
"Yes sir, understood" The servant replied
"He will be one of us soon enough" The king thought to himself and let out a evil laugh.
