Dad flew over the rest of hell with him holding me tight closer to him going towards the 9th circle. I knew that we're getting near when I suddenly felt chills. The place turned colder and the walls were made of ice now and its ceiling has icicles. We have arrived at the 9th circle where the treacherous ones are being punished, including Satan. From beyond, I could already hear the loud flapping of his wings-trying to break free.

We finally saw Satan and he really freaked me out. I mean, I thought he's the most beautiful angel of all? I never imagined seeing something ghastly as a beast like him. He has three faces and in each mouth, he chews sinners; Cain, Brutus, and Judas Iscariot. I could hear my heart beat rising as I see half of his body stuck in the icy river of cocytus while he tries to free himself from the melting ice. He scares me so much.

"We have to cut off his wings" dad suggested.

I looked at him, terrified. "H-how do you suppose we do that?. He's as big as a giant"

"With my sword. If you haven't forgotten, Abigail, I had once defeated him already"

"But he wasn't in this form yet, dad. He looks much fiercer now. He'll kill you dad"

Dad smiled, watching where he is flying. "Not if I get him first"

As we're getting closer to Satan, dad suddenly let out a soft groan and swirled down on the ground with me. We both fell on the icy ground and I screamed. I quickly got up as soon as I saw a man under the ice, looking straight back at me. I turned around and saw dad, wounded on his left shoulder.

"Dad, are you all right?" I asked worriedly.

Dad looks at his bleeding shoulder and hissed in pain. "It's nothing"

Above us, the demons didn't attack although they already have the chance to kill us. They were looking somewhere else, with evil grins on their scary faces. Dad and I followed their gaze and saw Satan. His wings flapped harder and he pushes his big hands on the icy river which slowly cracks. The ice around him is getting thinner. With a loud roar, the ice surrounding Satan's body shattered and he flew higher. He's free and his long pointy tail swaying around. Dad pushed behind a big rock and looked at me worriedly.

"Stay here and only come out if it's safe already" he ordered.

I looked terrified with whatever he's thinking, "You can't fight him! He'll kill you"

"I'll be fine. I love you"

He kissed me on the forehead and quickly flies toward his nemesis.

Behind the rock, I peeked and watched my dad bravely face this huge beast with three faces.

"Satan!" dad shouted.

All three ghastly faces of Satan faced dad and lets out a deep growl.

"Michael" he said with a deep scary voice, very demonic I must say. "In all places, I never thought I'll see you down here"

"I can't let you leave hell! I'll lock you up in that ice prison of yours"

Satan roared in anger that scared even the other demons. Saliva starts to drool from his scary fangs like he's some kind of dog with rabies. He looks like he has the thirst to kill my father already. He hated my dad so much.

"You'll never see heaven again!" his big clawed hands tried to swipe away my dad which he quickly evades.

He moves forward and tries stabbing the proud demon on the chest with his powerful sword. Unfortunately, dad wasn't successful. I covered my mouth as soon as Satan pushed away dad's sword which flew down and got stuck on the ice like the sword in the Arthur story. Satan grabbed my dad in a crushing grasp, making my dad shout in pain.

Satan laugh, "I never liked you, Michael. And this time, I'll be successful and I'll show that god of yours who is more powerful"

With all his might, he threw my dad like he is a pro baseball player. The wall blew up into small pieces where dad hit himself and fell down on the icy ground, unconscious. I felt terrible seeing my dad in that kind of state-mortifying even. Satan is getting ready to leave the underworld and I just can't let that happen. I quickly ran towards dad's sword and pulled it out from the ice. I ran towards Satan, acting brave even though I have no clue with what's about to happen.

"Satan!" I shouted, my heart beating faster and faster.

The big demon turned around, its three faces staring down on me with three pairs of eyes. I feel like fainting but, I clutched tighter to the sword with my trembling hands.

Be strong, I said to myself.

"Abigail" he said and that's the scariest way I heard my name being mentioned. "Come with me and I'll lead you to a happy life"

"Shut up!" I shouted, pointing the sword at him.

"Come with me and no one would ever think of you as a troublemaker"

"Troublemaker?" I suddenly remembered the nuns who hated me so much.

"Yes, those nuns from your school will never ever bother you again. They won't be nagging you anymore. There will be no guy who'll hurt your feelings"

"Not hurt me…"

"Yes, forget about Caleb. He'll just hurt you. He doesn't love you. He's just doing his job. Once he's done, he'll leave you, making you feel miserable. Leave your mother and father"

I looked at my father, who is bleeding and unconscious.

"He lied to you for so long" Satan continued tempting me. "He's the reason why you're living a miserable life. it's all because of the lies he has told you"

He stretched out his big hand, "Come with me"

I stepped on his palm and he carried me equally near his shoulders.

"With me, you'll feel happier"

I looked at him and smiled, "One word…"

I clutched on the sword and jumped forward to his shoulder and slashed through his big wings.

"Stay in hell!"

Satan shouted in pain that almost the whole hell shook like a massive earthquake. I fell on the ground, feeling pain all over my body and a huge rock hits me on the head. With that, everything turned black. The last thing I saw was the image of my dad on the other side, unconscious, and Satan being sucked by the ice again.
