Okay this is a longer chapter. My faithful readers deserved it. Updating is taking a while because I'm really busy right now. Please read and review. Anonymous reviews welcome.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ghost Rider. I own Audrey, Flame, Tierre, and Flusso though.

Audrey kept walking at the same pace. Mephistopheles walked right beside her. He looked at her now knowing what was bothering her. He couldn't read her mind like he could most people. This stopped him from seeing important things sometimes.

She looked so sad, he thought maybe he should comfort her. Mephistopheles walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. Immediately his hand seared in pain. The horrible pain traveled up his arm, though he let no sign of it on his face.

Audrey looked back at him. "You don't have to do that." She knew her innocence hurt him. Mephistopheles smiled and took his hand off of her shoulder. "Thank you." She smiled back at him.

"No problem," she said. Mephistopheles pondered that particular power of hers. "You know one thing I have always wondered about?" he asked. "No. What is it?" she asked, a look of confusion spreading over her face.

"Why you can hurt, or maybe even kill, all other demons under your will; yet Blackheart has never been harmed by you." She looked at him with confusion. "I never wanted to harm Blackheart in the first place."

"Yes, but when he met you, you did not know that your innocence hurt demons. You didn't even know that he was a demon. Yet when he touched you for the first time, you did not harm him." Audrey watched him as they walked.

"I don't know why I couldn't harm him. I was unsure of him at first." she said as they walked. Mephistopheles looked at her and said, "I know exactly what happened." She looked at him with shock on her face.

"What happened then?"

"You and he were meant to be together."

"Wait. How?" she asked in shock. How could he know something like this?

"I saw you and him together in my mirror a very long time ago." Mephistopheles said with a smug look on his face.

Audrey looked at him. She could tell when someone lied since she was twelve. His eyes showed no lie. "Exactly how long ago has it been?"

"Hmm. I'd say once when Blackheart was born, and another during the start of his rebellious time."

Audrey looked at him. "Okay, I don't want to know how old Blackheart really is."

Mephistopheles smiled. "You two were fated from the beginning of time to be together."

Audrey was confused, "Why?"

Mephistopheles smiled a warm smile, if the devil could have a warm smile. "You are the only one he will ever love. You are the only one who can help him to rule Hell when I've left. He is the only one you will ever love."

Audrey knew he spoke the truth. Before she met Blackheart she had never loved or even liked anyone else. She looked up at the city. They were approaching it quickly.

"So he still loves me?" she asked Mephistopheles in a voice that seemed smaller than her own.

Mephistopheles nodded and said, "Yes, and he would give anything to get you back. Even his life."

"But why does he not wear his wedding ring and doesn't acknowledge that I am his wife?"

"He thinks he does not deserve such an honor, to be with you. It's hurting him much more than it's hurting you." Mephistopheles remembered a troubled thought of Blackheart's. It was, Does she even still love me? If I did decide to let her leave and she took the chance, I don't know what I would do.

After this point his thoughts seemed a little suicidal. Maybe I could find the Rider and provoke him enough... But I've fought him before and he didn't kill me. Maybe I just need to provoke him without any souls in me. Yes that could work...

At this point Mephistopheles couldn't stand to hear any more plans of his only son's suicide. He stopped thinking about the thoughts.

"Well if he thinks it is such an honor," Audrey continued, "he should at least show me a tad bit of respect."

"Well, anyway. I think it is high time I leave," Mephistopheles said a few minutes after Audrey spoke.

"Okay then. I will see you later." She said as Mephistopheles smiled and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.

She walked into an alley, because know she was in the outskirts of the city. She could sense the demons coming to find her.

She stopped and waited. The demons appeared out of thin air. Flame crossed her arms at the sight of Audrey.

Audrey looked at the demon. I'm going to have to talk with her. Audrey knew what she was after.

Audrey looked at the other two and asked, "Have you found anything?"

They looked down and shook their heads. "Then go and look harder, please." she said. They bowed and disappeared again. Audrey turned to look at Flame.

Flame looked at her and said sarcastically, "You have not given me any orders milady." She did a mock bow.

"I wish to speak with you." Audrey said as she walked toward the fire demon.

"What do you wish to speak about, milady?"

"I want to speak about your manners towards me." Audrey said.

"What about them?" Flame replied sarcastically.

"What exactly are you after?" Audrey knew the answer to the question.

Flame thought for a moment then said, "I don't think the Dark Prince deserves someone as low as you. I also don't think the throne deserves such a weak, petty human to rule Hell."

Audrey smiled at her, "So I was right, your after my throne."

"What's so funny then?"

"Well, you could have the throne if you want." Flame's mouth dropped open and shock flew across her face.

Audrey started again, "But... you can't have my husband."

Flame looked like she was ready to kill the Princess. "So you don't care about anything but the Prince?"

"Exactly right."

"Well part of the throne is the Prince," she said smugly.

"I guess you won't get the throne then," Audrey said threateningly.

Flame's true demon shone through and she threw fire at Audrey. Audrey just stood there as the flames hit her square in the chest and died out. Audrey smiled as Flame's mouth came open once again.

"Well fire can't hurt me because, you know, I live in Hell. That's just a living hazard." Audrey said smiling at the look on the fire demon's face.

Flame's shock turned to anger as she turned into a full-fledged demon right there. Audrey was losing her temper, her demon was threatening to shine through.

The fire demon ran at her. She stood there as calm as she could. The demon charged her. As the demon came in at arm's length she caught it by it's neck.

"Will you ever learn?" Audrey said as she threw it back. The demon was shocked but ran at her again. This time Audrey lost a little bit of her temper. Her demon showed it's teeth through her skin. It showed horns on hr face, and her fingernails turned into jet-black talons.

She let even a little more of her demon face shine through as the now shocked demon came running towards her.

Audrey grabbed her throat again but held on. Soon her innocence would start to burn the demon. After a moment the demon's fiery neck started to turn black. This reminded her of Blackheart attacking the Rider.

She pinned the demon on the ground and as she did that her innocence, a poison to demons, turned the demon back into a human form. Flame was shocked beyond her wildest dreams.

"Wha- How did you do that?! You're a human!" Flame yelled at her. Her face was now turning black.

"Why did you underestimate me?! Did you think that Mephistopheles would let a human roam Hell unprotected?! Audrey was mad and her demon was threatening to shine through completely.

Flame couldn't breathe anymore, the poisonous innocence was suffocating her. Audrey finally let her go. She was crouching over the demon.

"Now listen to me. You are going to call me by a proper name and you are going to respect me. You will not go near my throne or my husband. If you disobey any of these rules, I promise you I will drag you back to Hell myself and throw you into the fiery lakes. Is that understood?"

"Yes, my lady," Flame said with the utmost tone of respect. Now she realized what all the seductresses and other female demons who threatened to do anything with or to her husband meant when they ran from the hall where their bedrooms were.

They had all said they would never go near her again nor the the Prince. Audrey pulled Flame to her feet.

"Now go and try to find anything that will lead us to the rider," Audrey said with as much authority as she could muster. Flame bowed and disappeared.

Audrey straightened up and walked a ways down the street. Then she stopped. "Mephistopheles," she said aloud to the air.

Mephistopheles appeared and said, "Yes Audrey?" She turned and looked at him. "Tell me about the Seductress."

Mephistopheles smiled.
