chapter 11

[ please read chapter 10 of performapalpopstep's story before reading this in order understand !! ]

-

It had been a week since the conflict and no one had heard from Solomon since. Which, to the demons, was a good factor. On the other hand, M/C was extremely worried for their friend. They just wanted to know if he was okay.

Luke had been discovered just a few days ago hiding in M/C's bedroom. Satan had calmly sent him back to the human world, making sure he found Simeon and Solomon safely.

M/C hadn't come out of their bedroom in the attic for the whole week. Their head was filled with thoughts and the human needed some time to themselves. The demons understood this and gave M/C some space - however they were beginning to get worried now.

The twins decided to approach Lucifer about the situation. They found the eldest in the hall, sipping on some dark coffee as he flicked through an old book.

"Um... Lucifer?" It was Belphegor who decided to speak first. The eldest looked up only to see the twins towering over him. In all honesty, they could be quite intimidating when they wanted to.

"Yes?"

"Me and Belphie were wondering if we would be allowed to go and check on M/C? We're a bit worried about them..."

Lucifer averted his gaze between the pair. He placed his cup down with a short exhale.

"Yes. You can go and check on them. Whilst you're at it, bring some food and water up for them. I'm only guessing that they're hungry."

The twins nodded and exited the room.

Not long after, the pair arrived at the attic. They had a tray filled with food and water for the human.

Belphegor gently knocked on the door. "M/C? M/C? It's me, Belphie. I'm here with Beel, too. Can we come in?"

It took a moment or two, however the door to the attic eventually opened reluctantly.

The twins exchanged glances with each other before stepping into the attic. They watched as M/C walked over and sat on their bed.

"What do you two want...?" They mumbled. The twins noticed how lifeless the human seemed. It broke their hearts.

"We came to give you some food and drink." Beelzebub walked over and gave the tray to M/C who looked up at him.

"Thanks..."

Belphegor and Beelzebub watched as M/C ate the food gratefully. They finally seemed to be coming back to their old self again.

"Are you okay, M/C? You've been up here for a week..." The youngest whispered and tapped his chin nervously.

"I'm fine, Belphie. I just needed some time to myself, that's all. I hope you don't mind."

The demon quickly shook his head. "No, no. We don't mind. I just hope you feel better soon."

M/C tried their best to smile. "Thank you."

"Well, me and Belphie will leave now," Beelzebub turned to face the door before he abruptly stopped. M/C rose a brow.

"What is it?"

"Satan and Asmo wanted to pay you a visit later on. Are they allowed to?"

"Yes," M/C confirmed, "They're allowed."

"Okay." Beelzebub smiled. "Bye, M/C."

"Bye Beel and Belphie. Thank you both again."

"Don't mention it." The youngest said before the duo retreated out of the bedroom.

M/C was left in silence, alone. They closed their eyes and took in the noises surrounding them. They were calm and peaceful.

"I do hope Solomon, Simeon and Luke are all okay..."

The human flopped back onto their bed. They had placed the now empty tray on the side.

"I never wanted any of this to happen. I know none of this is my fault, yet, I can't help thinking that it is..."

M/C felt tears prick their eyes. They desperately tried to blink them away, however they just fell. The human sighed as they fell down their cheeks.

"I just want to go home... I miss Solomon, I miss Simeon, I miss Luke, and... I miss Yui. I miss them all so much."

The tears didn't stop. In fact, they increased.

"I want to go back to working at the library... I want to go back to walking home with Solomon on those rainy nights where we danced like idiots..."

M/C smiled sadly at the memory.

"I want to binge watch movies with Yui as she procrastinated over her job."

"I want to take Luke and Simeon to the aquarium again."

"I just want to go home..."

M/C layed there. It must have been around ten minutes that had passed. They were staring at the ceiling, eyes dull as dried tears clung to their cheeks.

Their time in the devildom hadn't been all that bad either, though. Of course, this was excluding the event that occurred a week ago.

They actually had a fun time with the demons. M/C got to know them, got to bond over certain things with them... The demons weren't at all like they were portrayed in story books.

These demons, when they wanted to be, showed nothing but kindness and love towards M/C - even to each other. It was heart warming to the human.

M/C has had many adventures in the devildom that they new for certain would never occur at home. Maybe they were just lucky?

What confused the human, though, was the fact that the demons all wanted them. Why them? Why not some other, better human?

Maybe at the end of all of this... They'll just eat me... M/C thought as they turned over. Sure, they had warmed up to the brothers, but did they trust them? Absolutely not.

Maybe, just maybe, this whole thing is one big trap. What if they all just want me for themselves to eat? They made me go through all of this just to eat me? Yeah, sounds about right.

M/C felt their eyes stinging again. They shook, throwing the bed covers over themselves.

"But... But I don't want to die..." They whispered shakily.

"I've still got my whole life to live... I've still got my friends and family... No, I can't die..."

They buried themselves deeper into the bed where they cried themselves to sleep.

"I just want to go home... Please let this all be a nightmare."

What the human didn't realise, was the fact that someone heard everything from outside.
