Fourth chapter and I've known gotten the idea to add a MandyxBilly subplot after finishing this part. Stay tuned as it might be a while before I update again
Satan lay still in his bed, still aghast at the shock of his illegitimate daughter. As he tries to rationally think it through in his mind, he then realizes after ten long years, he must confront this head on. Of course, Satan also knows that even though he is the Prince of Darkness and ruler of all that is evil, nothing is more evil in this world against another being than a woman scorned, especially if that woman was carrying the daughter of the Devil. Knowing the first step is to tell his best friend about the ordeal, he is actually greeted by Grim only seconds later, who he had been oblivious to the fact he had been standing over Satan for a few minutes.
"Grim, where the hell did you come from"? Satan cried out to him.
"Ya don't realize thatcha been in here for hours now?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, I was wondering what the hell you're doing in here."
Satan then says sheepishly "Oh, I'm just browsing through these photos".
Grim felt that the term "browsing" seemed questionable and decided to bring attention to it.
"I don't think you've been doing much browsing because you've been staring at this picture of Mandy for a long time now".
"What are you implying, Grim?".
"Listen, don't think I don't know. I've always known. For the moment I met Mandy, I knew where she came from. I knew to myself the only explanation she's so fucking evil is because she's your daughter, But I also knew ya needed teh find out for yaself first."
"So, what now?"
Satan knew grim only had one answer for that. He has to manifest him as "Gabriel" again and explain himself to Claire. Satan then thinks aloud "Man, as if being the Prince of Darkness was hard enough, I gotta confront something I haven't thought of in ten years". Grim reassures Satan that he'll help him out by easing the burden of introducing himself. Satan instantly transforms into "Gabriel" and then Grim immediately rips a hole in the fabric of Hell and they both end up outside Mandy's house.
Grim knocks on the door but tells Satan to hide just in case Claire notices him. Inside, Claire gets up from her chair haggardly and opens the door.
"Yes, Grim, what is it?".
"Uhh, do ya know if Mandy is there?"
"Who?"
"Mandy, ya daughter".
At the mention of that sentence, Claire's eyes grow cold and she states sternly, "I have no daughter".
"Really? Then who the hell is the blond haired devil who's been bossing me around for the past few months?" Grim enquires cynically.
"I don't know who you're talking about now if you mind, you can either leave me alone or tell me who that guy in the bushes".
Suddenly, Claire freezes dead still, memories of that fateful night flooding back to her and as if it were a repressed memory, she realizes exactly who it is. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!".
Claire runs inside the house and grabs a steak knife from the kitchen and then runs outside and lunges for "Gabriel".
"How could you leave me with that evil spoiled brat of a child? You've ruined my life, you fucking low-life scum piece of shit! I hate you! You're gonna to pay for the torture that spawn of the Devil has put me through!".
Realizing that it's not going to hurt him, Satan thinks it's best to just let Claire stab him. And that she does, aiming directly at his chest. But as he expected, he barely flinches. Satan takes a step back from Claire, gesturing to Grim to hold her back. He then removes the knife with an almighty thrust from his chest and makes it immaterialize in the air. Claire, on the other hand, is not able to believe what just happened.
"How did you do that? Who are you? Why did you leave with the worst excuse for a child a mother could ever ask for?!"
Rather than answer any of those questions, Satan decides to simply turn back into his original form. Claire is speechless at this and attempts to speak but is too dumbstruck to utter anything. Finally she calms down and Grim feels it's safe to let her go and does so. She swallows her words and then states "So you actually are Satan?"
Satan nods and then Claire says "So when I say Mandy is the spawn of the devil, I'm actually telling the truth? I just thought that was a figure of speech!"
Claire sits down on her lawn and takes a few deep breaths before asking the only question she has on her mind. "Why me? What have I done in my life to deserve to carry and nurture the seed of Lucifer? I was a good girl, I didn't deserve this, why did you do this to me?" Claire stated, tears starting to form in her eyes for the sheer amount of psychological torture Mandy has put her through.
"Well, the only answer I can give you will only open up a number of questions. You humans can sometimes never understand the consequences of a mere one-night stand and you know, us supernatural beings are not completely infallible, we make mistakes and we regret our past just the same as humans do. Therefore the only answer I can give you is that Mandy was my mistake. I did not plan to ever have a child, nor do I ever want anything to replace my throne as the Prince of Darkness but the same as you humans do, I fuck up just easily. I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you out but I had no idea. You see, I'm not quite as evil as I've been made out to be, I do have some compassion for others within me, such as my good friend Grim here. But one thing I can't do is undo the past for you."
"Listen, I've had enough of Mandy. I've put up all I can with her brutal psychosis and insanely bossy nature but now this morning I was at the last straw. I don't care whether or not she lives or dies, she is YOUR problem now. I never want to see her or YOU ever again. Now leave me alone". With that, Claire picks herself up off the lawn and goes inside her house, locking the door behind her.
"Well, how are we going to find Mandy now? I can't force her to tell me, she probably doesn't even know where she is at the moment". Grim then explains the best thing to do is to walk to Billy's house as there's always a good chance she'd be there. So Grim and Satan start walking and end up there within a few minutes. Grim knocks on the door and is greeted by Billy, who's normally moronic face is surprisingly more serious than usual.
"Hiya, Grim. Say, it's a good thing you came here, something's happened to Mandy that I think you should have a look at".
Satan becomes concerned at that statement and says to Billy
"Where is she?"
"Who are you?"
"That's not important, where is she?"
"She's on my bed at the moment, I think she's passed out".
With that, all three of them run upstairs to Billy's bedroom. There on Billy's bed, Mandy lays unconscious until Satan looks over at her ironically angelic face. With that, Mandy slowly begins to regain consciousness and surprises not only Satan, but Grim and Billy too with one simple word.
"Father?"
