"..Have you gone mute, Faustus?" Lucifer asked him as he gritted his teeth. Faustus remained quiet, he knew that talking back would just make him closer to death.
"..Lucifer.." Abigail whispered yet, he couldn't hear her. She was shaking as she stood still, words weren't coming out of her mouth but she had to try. "Lucifer" she tried once more. The floor seemed to sway under her feet while Lucifer was not yet hearing her.
She took a deep breath and shouted, "Lucifer!" they both halted as the devil slowly turns to Abigail, his face were different now, he was terrified.
"Abi..Abigail..Wh..what are you.." he cleared his throat, "..doing here..?" and he stared back at Faustus, "Be gone" glaring at him.
"Why do you care so much for that mortal, My Lord?!" he yelled as his voice cracked.
The devil shouted back, "I said be gone!"
"Stop caring, you're the Devil" in a lower voice. He took a long look at Abigail and nodded as he vanishes in thin air.
As soon as he got to the demon realm, he released all his anger in his room. Thing didn't go the way things were supposed to be. If only the devil didn't return at that time, Abigail's blood stains would be on Faustus face and body, as he watches her slowly dying. Like how he did to Dorothy. She was never sick, she...have always loved Lucifer, more than her own life. And so when Faustus told her that if she dies she can love Lucifer legally, she did it with no hesitation.
"They are all fools" Faustus bit his nail, pondering on what he will do next. Because for him, the devil doesn't need love. Love is useless, it will make you weaker, fragile, and tender. The devil is nothing like that. So if it's about making him stronger than everyone, he will do anything it takes. He is ready to kill anyone who stands between him and the throne.
So where did Dorothy go? Heaven? Hell? Vandalla? The answer is neither. After Faustus perished her life, her soul wondered across the world. She didn't remember anything that happened in her past life, she's now just like the wind searching for something, for someone. And after years and years, her soul still wonder.
Faustus cursed under his breath, "..One after another...They just get in the way!" he kicked the table then he burned it.
"Oof, be careful, Faustus" a voice began. He looked in front of him to see Asmodeus along with Belphegor. "What has gotten you..so angry?" he asked him.
Faustus sighed, "What business do you have here?" he cleared his throat, "If none, please leave. I...am having a rage moment here.." moving closer to the door.
Asmodeus laughed lightly, "Oh, I know you're in rage, Faustus...And I'm here to comfort you" he looks at Belphegor, "..with this hoe.." and after that a very loud slap were heard all over the room. "Mind your manners...I am older than you..." as she slowly puts down her hand.
Asmodeus caress his cheek, "You always slap hard. Have mercy". Belphegor stared at Faustus, "Hmm.." she started, "..You told me we'd go to where humans are. He clearly isn't human" she grabbed Asmodeus' ear. "You lied to me!" she shouted.
"Wait wait wait!" putting his arms up, "..Faustus...Let's talk inside, shall we?" as they both go inside of the room. "This better be worth it, or I'll kill you, Asmodeus" closing the door in front of him.
"You can't kill me, Faustus. In order to kill a devil, you must stab and break or burn its heart. I...have 5 hearts...and all of them are already broken, by mortals. It's sad really, how they die easily while we live for thousand of years" he chuckled softly, "So you can't kill me, Faustus"
"You're so dramatic!" Belphegor groaned to which he laughed.
Faustus cleared his throat, "..So what do you need, Asmodeus?" he asked him.
"Oh, nothing big. You want Our Lord to return here in his throne, right?"
He narrowed his eyes, "...What do you mean...?"
Asmodeus shrugged, "I will help you make him return here...But...you give me...the woman...Fair, right? Aren't I cool, Belphy?" making her roll her eyes, "You're gross"
"So, Faustus? Tempting, right? To be honest, it's more free here when Our Lord is not around...but quite...chaotic" he moves closer to Faustus, "Or...you can be with me instead. I can take care of you" he twirled strands of his silky long hair in a curl when Faustus smacked it.
"Well...Tempting indeed. What will you do with the woman?" moving further away from Asmodeus.
"That...will be none of your business" he replied.
They both stared at each other.
"..What?." he asked again to which he shook his head. "Nothing"
Belphegor raises her hand to catch their attention, "I will eat her...He'll get her soul and attach it to Lexi's body.." she laughed loudly.
Asmodeus remained quiet with his chin down. "Can you believe him? He's a fool of love! Even if the soul's not really Lexi's as long as its her body, he'll love her! Because he's an idiot who fell in love with a mortal when there's so many woman here in the demon realm!" she laughed to the point where a tear fell from her eye.
"Those who speak loudly must simply...lose their ability to talk..." Faustus raises his hand and twirled it, with that, Belphegor's mouth were shut. "Now...where were we...?" he puts his arms in his back.
"Ah, yes...It's a deal then. You will help me return Our Lord and the woman shall be yours. Do whatever you want, I was supposed to dispose her anyway" he gave him a smile. "You're all fools" he opened the door.
"...You...may leave..." he bowed like a butler and showed them the way out. "We shall meet again, Asmodeus" he snickered.
Asmodeus grabbed Belphegor and went on their way but he stopped at the door, "...You heard nothing..." he said with his chin down as they got out of the room.
Faustus shut the door slowly, "Fools...Every last one of them..."
