Lamia slowly wakes up, she sees Lilith's ice-colored eyes staring at her with severity and concern, but Sabrina's platinum hair completely distracts her, while the witch appears out of nowhere to hug her.
"Thanks Lucifer" she whispers. Lamia cannot look her in the eyes. She feels terribly guilty after what had happened with Nick, guilt is not a feeling that usually belong to her, but this time it is different. Sabrina was the first one to introduce her to her family, she protected her, she considered her like a sister, they shared some of the same blood, after all. She feels terrible, she closes her eyes while she hugs her.
"I don't undertand...what happened?" she tries to get up, but her head is spinning.
"Someone spilled a bottle of Ignis Maleficus in your bathtub" Sabrina says.
Lamia looks at her, confused.
"It's a deadly poison, it penetrated your skin" Sabrina stops talking, her voice cracks.
"I don't understand, why am I still alive?" Lamia does not understand, everything was just fine Yesterday, while she enjoyed life, dancing with...
Lilith continues "Lamia, you have to understand that your body is built different, you have angel blood in your DNA, from Lucifer. It has been a powerful barrier. Angel powers, on average, are much more powerful than demons, it was enough to save you."
"It's just so weird" The princess says "During the ball everything was fine"
"Hell is full of people who would like to see your fall, my dear" Lillith says "A female queen, and with mortal blood inside her? By the way, what the Heaven were you thinking while you were dancing with your enemy? Did you even realize what he was trying to do?"
Lamia snorts "It was just a harmless dance"
Lilith turns around, her voice rises "He's a demon, being evil is part of his nature, do you understand? I don't think your death would upset him, if it allows him to become king."
Lamia does not answer, her mind wanders, she thinks about the ball, their bodies were so close...
"Maybe it was easy for you to make fun of mortals, but we're not on Earth, ok? You can't trust anyone, here, in Hell"
" Anyway, I'm feeling better" she says coldly, she gets up, doesn't say a word anymore.
"I think she's just overwhelmed, give her time" Sabrina whispers to Lilith.
Sabrina comes closer to Lamia
"I know how you feel, but you can't trust him, he is evil, mischievous, this action was truly horrendous, and..."
"We were dancing together last night" she interrupts her "How could he? He was with me literally ten minutes before..."
"Remember, it's not just him, he might have sent someone else to play the dirty game, we must control him from now, we have to pay attention to every single movement"
"Or we could just kill him" Lilith suggests.
"But it is too risky, and people are waiting for my next wrong move" Lamia sighs "Besides, it would be a total waste ... have you seen those abs?" she asks in a mischievous voice.
Lilith gives her a dirty look.
"I was just joking" she rolls her eyes. ("That woman may be absolutely powerful, but she doesn't have the slightest sense of humor")she thinks, as she walks out of the room. Her body is weak, intoxicated, but her mind is clear, "Yes" she thinks "This story needs to end".
Later, she is lying on her crimson velvet sheets, the fabric is fresh against her naked skin, she feels her body completely healed, Lilith's spells are working.She hears her bedroom's door creaking, she can hears footsteps closer to her canopy bed. The princess opens her eyes wide, holds her breath, terrified, "Who's here?" she asks. A deep, seductive voice speaks from the dark "Don't worry, princess", Lamia is shocked, as she recognizes the demon, she feels his hand on her leg. "What are you doing here?"she whispers.
All of a sudden, she wakes up in her bed, her heart is beating very fast, with a feeling of shame that she finds hard to repress."What's wrong with me?" she asks, in pain. She is mad at herself, "That poison probably damaged your brain, otherwise, I can't explain why you're so fucking stupid lately" she whispers angrily to herself, in front of the mirror. The thought of the prince of Hell is still vivid in her mind, she relizes with disappointment that her enemy is slowly becoming an obsession. She tries to keep her mind occupied, it is time for her to think about the second quest, she needs to find a strategy to get to Golgotha, Lilith talked about portkey to go back in time, or something like that. While she is reading, she hears a noise, not a random noise, that noise that he makes when he appears from nowhere. She closes her eyes and breathes deeply. "What are you doing here?"
"Wow, why are you so aggressive?" Caliban asks with his deep voice ("Just don't think about that fucking dream, oh Lucifer, this is so embarassing, clear your mind!" she thinks)
"Are you here for the second quest?"
"Not today"
"Why are you in the library?"
"I read for pleasure"
He looks at her "And you? What do you do pleasure?" his voice is so calm and deep.
She does not answer, she looks at the book she has in her hands.
He slowly takes the book away from her hands. "Actually, I'm here to talk to you, to make a proposal" Lamia looks at him, curios.
"We could continue the challenge, or cancel it, in that case there would be no winners"
"And who would be king in that case?"
"Both of us" he smiles. "We could join forces, get married"
"Get married?" the proposal is so ridiculous that she starts laughing.
Lamia reflects, the court does not like because she is a woman, with mortal blood, they would not respect her even if she was the queen, the story would be different with someone by her side.
Someone like him.
But the idea is weird.
"What a weird idea" she shakes her head "First of all, we have completely different ideas about Hell, I don't want the Earth to become the tenth circle, to begin with" she does not forget Caliban's horrible project, the idea of colonizing mortals to subject them to Hell disgusts her, not to mention that many of Sabrina's friends live on Earth.
"What if I take that off?"
"No! I mean, well...I need to think about it"
Caliban smiles triumphantly.
"I need your written oath, and in any case it would be a political link, don't get strange ideas, like something romantic"
"Carnal?" he asks, with a smirk.
Lamia is shocked, the audacity! "Absolutely not!"
"I have to discuss it with Lilith first, ok? I'll let you know"
"I'll wait impatiently" he leaves the room with a whirlwind of flames.
Lamia stares at the book with the leather cover, "What the Heaven am I doing?" she asks the gargoyle stone statue in the corner. The statue obviously remained impassive, while her eyes stared desperately at its stone face.
