The Devil's Order ||ON HOLD||

Chapter 18

"I didn't kill anyone," I say. But Damien shook his head and let out a small laugh. "Chad, we both know that down the hall, in the boy's toilet two boys are lying on the floor dead."

"I don't know what you're talking about sir," I tell him. "And I think I'm late for class."

"You killed them because of the Devil's Order didn't you?"

My heartbeat elevated. Damien knew about The Devil's Order? How?

"What's the Devil's Order?" I ask as if I didn't have an idea.

Damien laughs. "Sit down, please." I do as he said and he rolls up one of his sleeves revealing a small tattoo of a circle with a star in the middle.

My eyes grew wide, horrified. "Y-you're one of them?" I ask.

"Yes Chad," Damien said. "I'm a proud member of the Devil's Order."

My breath became ragged. Now I know why Damien had been looking at me all this while. He was one of them.

"I killed your father," Damien said. "I'm sorry but I had to do it. Your father was one of my friends."
My eyes shot up. "You did what?"

"I killed your father," He repeats. I swallowed hard, the man who killed my father was a few feet away from me. I felt an unfamiliar anger rise in me.

"You took my father away from me!!" I cry and stood up, balling my fists. Damien held up his hand. "Sit." He commanded and I felt like I was pulled by an unseen force to my chair.

"What the fuck?" I say as my butt settled onto the chair against my own will. "How did you do that?"

Damien smiled. "When you join the Devil's Order, you become part of something greater." He turns his back to me and faces his window. "You get powers beyond human comprehension and you become devoted to Mariah."

"Who the hell is Mariah?" I ask him, still trying my best to get off the chair.

He turned. "Our Liberator."

What the hell was he babbling on about? Our Liberator? What the actual fuck?

I shake my head and try to stand up, I couldn't, my butt was still glued to the chair. "This Mariah happens to be a woman?"

"Not a woman, a goddess." Damien nods. "And the devil's order was established to prepare this world for her coming."

"And when she comes what happens to us?" I ask Damien.

He sits down and rubs his hands in glee. "She cleanses our world. Takes over this world and put us on the right path to salvation!"

This is crazy! Why did I join this crazy group? Their motivation was to bring some woman to this world to...liberate us?

"Cleanse us as to how?"

"She takes over this planet," Damien said his lips thin.

I shook my head. "Can you be more elaborate? This Mariah isn't of this world?"

Damien scoffs. "Of course, she isn't. Man can't rule man... but a goddess can."

I swallowed hard. What had I gotten myself into?

"Let me explain it to you," Damien said. "The earth is 4.5 billion years old, mankind is 140,000 years old."

"Okay," I say trying to see where he was going with this.

Damien continues annoyed that I had interrupted. "If you condense the lifespan of the earth into a day...that's 24 hours, we've been here for only 3 seconds Chad."
