I sat on the velvet sofa, frozen. I couldn't move, as if I had been paralyzed. The brother's bickering was muffled as my ears were ringing. My stomach was in pain from someone tying it in a knot. All the brothers surrounded me except for Lucifer, who was sitting across from us next to Diavolo with Barbatos. The brothers had been offering and placing sweets in my face which looked delicious, but I couldn't bring myself to eat them, let only take a bite. I was in too much pain, as the scene from not too long ago played in my head. Belphegor having his hands on my throat and choking me. I shivered, coldness coursing through my veins.

I stood abruptly, making everyone lift there eyes at me and zip their mouths shut. "I'm gonna go to my room now." I say then begin to walk out of the living room, until Satan stopped me. "Brandi, are you alright?" He asked me, concern dripping from his voice. I look to see his brows are furrowed into a look of worry. I lift my face into a smile at him, "I'm fine, just tired." I tell everyone sweetly, even though I was lying. I just didn't want to be in that room with him anymore. "Okay," Satan says, "Goodnight." "Goodnight." I say back as I make my exit out of the living space and to my room.
U, I jogged up them as fast as I could up to my room. I slam the door shut, running to my bathroom. I finally let out the uneasiness from stomach, hacking it up. My throat burned from the acid, my body confolsing. My throat ached as it spat out vomit, draining my stomach. Once I was done, I flushed and washed my face with cold water. I change out of my clothes into comfy pajamas. Though they didn't make me feel any better. I lay down on my bed, wrapping myself in the sheets. It then hits me, the things I had been holding in for what seemed like forever. It slaps me in the face as tears prick at my eyes. Who was I? Was I really just a descendant of Lilth? Was that the only reason he let me live? How can they act as if nothing happened? It all hurts. Everything hurts. My body aches all over. I just want it stop. Just please go away.

It was the afternoon now. I was walking down the corridor towards the library. I thought I could relax myself with a book, a suggestion given to me by Satan himself. I was glad to not see Belphie yet today. It wasn't until I walked towards Leviathan's door. Levi peeked out at me and whispered for me to come inside. I thought maybe he just wanted me to watch another random anime with him, I was wrong. "What is it?" I ask him, feeling slightly annoyed. "Could you tell Belphie I can't play games with him?" Levi asks me. Are you serious? Your fucking kidding. Why can't he just do it himself? I'm not his mom. "Why can't you do it?" I ask, anger in my tone. "I can't bring myself to." Levi says. God almighty. This is ridiculous. "Just do it yourself." I brush Levi off. I turn to walk out the door. "Brandi, what's up with you? Your acting different." Levi asked me. "Nothing! Just mind your damn business!" I snap at him. I burst out the door slamming it shut.

I began to stroll down the hallway again, when Belphie had stopped me. I stood their frozen, my limbs beginning to shake. My stomach knotted, as it began to sink. "Levi wanted to cancel games with me, huh?" He asked me. As if my mouth was sewn shut, I just gave him a nod. He sighs, just as I hear Levi's door creak open. "Belphie..." Levi said. "Levi. Don't be scared, let's play together!" Belphie pleads to him. "Okay. Brandi come join us!" Levi asks me. Oh hell no. "No thanks, I have things I need to do." I then walk away, not looking back. I ignore Levi's calls.

Instead of going to the library, I went to Mammon's room. He was the only one I was close with. I was comfortable with him, as he has never once tried to hurt me. He is always so gentle and caring. I really need it right now. I knock on his door softly. "Coming!" I hear him shout, in a annoyed tone. He opens the door, and his expression changed when he saw me. "What da ya want human?" Mammon asked. Without saying anything, I collapsed into his chest. Wrapping my arms tightly on his torso. "H-hey! What's the big idea?!" Mammon stutters out, I can sense his blush on his cheeks. "Can I come in please?" My voiced cracked as I asked. Mammon goes quiet for second, before he places his hands on my back. "Ya can. Just don't think too much about it, okay?" He tells me. I smile, he's so cute.
