The Prince of Hell

Chapter 17

Caliban's POV

Yesterday was a good day, well besides my prisoner escaping.
I managed to collect all 999 signatures I need in order to challenge that dim witted witch Cassie.

It was an amazing turn out, thousand of people lined up, from the front of my gates all the way to the dark forest, eager to sign it.

I know I have hell on my side, with countless support from my followers, this competition is already in my hands.
I just have to do a couple minor tasks and soon I will be pronounced the King of Hell, and rightfully so.

I pull myself from my thoughts and get dressed, I have a mission today and that is to find Cassie Morningstar. Nobody is going to trick me and get away with it. 

I fold and then cram the pages of signatures into my back pocket, and set out on my journey.

After what feels like hours of walking I finally reach Pandemonium, I walk pass the front gates and swing open the doors in my usual dramatic fashion.

As I start down the hallway I notice the building is unusually quite, however I continue walking and can hear whispers coming from the main hall.

I walk up to it and reach for the doorknob but before I can turn it, a hand grabs me from behind.

"Caliban this is most certainly not the time, whatever mischief you plan on causing today, just don't, you need to leave!"

I turn around to see Gabriel, my former brother.

"Ahh Gabriel just as tense as always I see." I scoff
"What makes you think I'm here to cause any mischief?" As say giving him a innocent glance.

Gabriel rolls his eyes annoyed.

"I'm simply here to see Lucifer." I protest.

"Yea right! I know what you did to Cassie, Caliban." Gabriel replies

"Aww how sweet she even told the help about me." I smirk "Anyways that's precisely what I'm hear to talk to Lucifer about, I'm sure he's just boiling with anger." I continue.

"For once Caliban your wrong, Lucifer has no idea what happened yesterday and I intend to keep it that way, so just take your leave and be thankful you get to live to see another day." He barks back at me.

"How interesting, and why would you keep something like this from your precious master?" I reply

"It's none of your business, just be grateful. Now, you really need to leave!" He says while pulling me towards the main door.

I push him off of me "Ahhh I see, this is Cassie's doing isn't it? Wow, that girl is more stupid than I thought, going to you for help keeping a secret, I bet she'd love to find out who you really are." I reply menacingly.

"For your information Mr. All-Knowing, she does know who I am, I know you were probably to busy grooming your hair to notice, but I'm actually the one who helped Cassie escape from your castle." He taunts. "In fact I already told her about our relationship and how much of an ass you were and still are, but for some satanforsaken reason that I still can't wrap my head around she swore me to secrecy, and unlike you, I intent to obey my new Queen!" He finishes.

"And I bet you just couldn't wait to tell her. Your still the same desperate little boy you've always been Gabriel , seeking approval from filthy MorningStars.
I also bet you forgot to mention the part of you ratting me out to Lucifer and getting me thrown in the pit for over two years" I say harshly as I turn around and start back towards the door.
"Well I will not obey anyone! They will all bow to me eventually, including you!" I finish before slightly cracking open the doors to the main hall and peering inside.
