Twisted

Chapter 8

*Hell July 20, 1915*

I walk down the street in brand new clothes that the shop owner, with a little convincing, handed over freely. Instead of the scarf, a brand new black choker with a pentagram dangling from the center sits on my neck covering the scar. I hum to myself as my mind drifts back to Al for the 10th time that morning.

"That was quite the show of power the other day." A voice speaks up.

I look up as my thoughts scatter to see a sharp toothed smile and blond hair. "Lucifer." I say.

"So you've heard of me." He smirks and puts an arm around my shoulders and leads me down an alley. "Let's go for a walk, shall we?"

"What's the meaning of this, Lucifer?" I ask.

"Well you see you've only been here for a couple of days and you're already showing great overlord potential." He explains.

"Overlord?" I ask.

"Yes, darling. The most powerful demons in all of hell. You've got the power to rise high on the ladder."

"How do I do that?" I ask.

"You kill those weaker than you of course." Lucifer says like it's obvious. "Until we meet again." Lucifer begins walking away.

"Wait!" Lucifer turns. "What if I want to see my brother again? Can I go to earth?"

"Possibly." Lucifer says with a wink before disappearing.

I think over what Lucifer said while I walk back towards the street. I look up at the blood red sky. "I will see you again Al and I'm gonna build me an empire." My eyes flashed a vibrant (f/c) as I thought of the power in my veins. I may have tons of power but I don't know how to use it. I notice a guy threatening a smaller demon with a decent looking dagger.

I slip into the alley and quickly kill the demon with the knife. I test the grip in my hand and examine the blade. "Interesting." I say. The smaller demon shrinks down. I notice him and bend down to his level. "Spread the word; a new power has come to Hell, with the voice of a siren." The demon nods frantically before scampering off.

I walk along the street looking for the perfect place to start. Then I see it; a tall building with a giant sign saying, Club X. I walk up to the double glass doors and push them open with a force to be reckoned with. The doors crack against the windows they hit and chatter in the club comes to a stop. All eyes are on me and the dancers stop dancing.

I look at the crowd and see a pimped out demon with a feathered hat and leopard-like features stands.

"Bitch, didn't you read the sign? We're not hiring anymore." The leopard growls out.

"Are you the owner of this club?" I ask.

"Yeah now get lost before I erase you." He steps forward along with some thugs of his.

"I can't do that. You see," I blink and my eyes flash (f/c), "I need this building to start my empire. Now you can kindly hand it over and you won't get hurt, or I'll erase you and get the building anyway."

The leopard laughs along with his buddies. "Did you just land here? Because you clearly don't know who you're talking to."

"I don't personally care." I say with my arms crossed.

The leopard stops laughing. "Last chance to beat it." When I don't move he snarls at me, "Your funeral." He charges at me with excellent speed. I slide out of the way and let him run into the wall. I cut at his side and do little damage but it's enough to make the cat yelp.

The leopard spins around and knocks me back with his tail. I hit the wall with a thud. I slump down and blink to clear my vision.

"You messed with the wrong overlord, bitch." The leopard hisses as he stalks closer.

I look up at the leopard and see red. My eyes glow (F/c) and I start singing.

"OoOoh death~
OoOoh death~
OoOoh death~
Won't you spare me over til another year~"

The leopard stops his eyes wide. The air gets heavy and all the demons in the club fall under my spell. Their eye glaze over with my magic.

"But what is this that I can't see
with ice cold hands taking hold of me?~"

The leopard stops and looks around at his friends under my spell. "Hey!"

"When God is gone and the devil takes hold~
Who will have mercy on your soul?
OoOoh death~
OoOoh death~
OoOoh death~"

I glare at the leopard and the demons under my control stalk towards him. "Cut it out!" He yells at the advancing demons. But they don't listen to him.

"No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
nothing satisfies me but your soul~"

The demons advance on the leopard and rip him limb from limb. They feast on his insides and the ground soaks with his blood.

"OoOoh death~"

The demons don't stop until the leopard is nothing but bones and they've stuffed themselves to death.

I clap my hands together. With a wave of my hand the mess is cleaned. I walk out of the club and turn around to look at my new home. I point my finger at the sign and a (f/c) bolt changes it to say; 'Siren's Song'. "Much better."

I hum and the remaining girls still stand awestruck on the stage. "Well this place needs a clean up." I put my hands on my hips and the girls quickly snap to work cleaning.

'This is a good start.'
