So They Regin

Meeting The Devil

   Michael guides me towards the ballroom doors and my heart pounds in my chest. Two guards waited at the set of double doors before turning to them and opening them up. "I present Prince of Hell and the bringer of Darkness. The Alpha and Omega. Michael Langdon and Athena March!" The guard announced as we stepped through the archway. Every creature in the room turned to look at the both of us, clapping and cheering. Michael and I keep walking down the long black laid out carpet and when the crowd moves out of the way a beautiful man with short dark hair sits on a throne that's covered with skulls. There's a goat head sitting on the top of his throne and I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat as I clung to Michael hand. Michael father slowly stood to his feet as we stopped just at the bottom step. "Father..." Michael let go of my hand and kneel down to one knee as he bowed his head. I bowed my head and giving his father a curtsey. "You may rise my son" his father tells him. Michael slowly stood to his feet and his father looked upon both of our faces. "You two have fought well, even with slight hiccups you've come out victorious" he pointed out. He then turned to me "I knew the moment your father told me about you what you meant to my plans. The connection you would share with my son and how it would bring him to greatness" he tells me. "Thank you..." I smiled at him. "I have an announcement!" Michael father spoke. "As my Heir and with their successful win, When I return to earth. Michael and Athena shall become King and Queen of Hell!" He announced. "Forever may the regin!" He then added. "Forever may the regin!" They all repeated. "How about we raise some hell?" He asked, causing everyone to laugh. The music began once again but I couldn't stop thinking about what Michael father said. What would be his reason to return to earth? "May I have this dance?" Michael asked, extending his hand out to me. "Thought you'd never ask" I smile, placing my hand in his. We glided to the dance floor as the music begins to play. He pulls me close to his chest and I could smell the rose scent that lingered in his hair. "Remember the last time we danced?" I asked, remembering when we were at the warlocks school. "You just had completed the Seven wounder-" Michael is quick to cut me off. "Let's not dwell on the past Athena" he spoke with harshness in his tone. A tear formed at my waterline as my chest ache from his unkind words. "Why?" I asked him. "Because, that world is long gone. I rather not be reminded of it" he then stepped away from me before turning and beginning to walk away. "Michael, wait--" Suddenly his father stood in front of me. "Athena...Would you like to dance?" He offered, extending his hand to me. "Wh-why would you want to dance with me?" I asked, stuttering over my words. "Well, if things go right you soon will be my daughter in law and I'd like to get to know you" he smirked. I nodded, taking his hand and beginning to dance with him. "You looked worried, you alright love?" He asked me. My eyes flickered to his Angel like face. "Having regrets?" He questioned. "No...I love Michael" I shake my head. "I have no doubts about that, I'm speaking of being in hell" he pointed out. "I have angel in me, doesn't that worry you?" I asked him as we danced together. He let out a soft chuckle "Darling, Athena. I was made in heaven. Was the first Angel to ever be made" he explained to me. "You being part angel does not bother me" he shakes his head. "Then why do I get the sense of hatred and discomfort from everyone?" I asked him in a whisper. "They do not care that you are an angel and they love your demon the part they don't like is..." I cut him off. "That I'm a witch" I whispered. "Not just any witch, Supreme. The one witch that can bring all her friends back and tare apart our plans" he explained. "I wouldn't..." I shake my head.  He chuckled once again. "I know, you're loyal to my son" he says. "But the light in which you draw your magic mustn't be used ever again. Not while your in my world. Got it?" He asked. I gulped down the lump that formed in my throat. "Can I ask you something?" I asked him. He didn't answer but I went on. "You said my father told you about me, does that mean I wasn't in the original plans?" I questioned. "Your father disobeyed me and for that he got what he deserved. But I gave him another chance to make it right and he did" Michael father tells me. "But you were always apart of the plan, just how you were made wasn't" he informed me. "You mean, the witch part?" I asked. "Precisely, love" he nodded. "So, I have to keep my witch powers buried" I stated. "If you don't want an uprise, I'd suggested that darling" he then twirled me and then brought my into his chest before I heard a voice. "Ah! May I cut in Lucifer?" I turned my head to see my father extending his hand to me. "Of course James, we were just finished" Lucifer bowed to me before walking away. I take my father's hand and let out a sigh. "What's the matter?" He asked me. "Will everyone stop...asking me that?" I stepped away from him. "Athena?" My father knit his brows together. "It's ..nothing. I think I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna turn in" I grabbed the end of my dress and quickly left the ballroom and returned to my room.  My mind flickers to Michael and I couldn't help to feel the sting in my chest as I finally got out of my dress.
