She's the Devil in Disguise

^^Addy

My eyes shot open and I turned on my side. I stared out the window and observed the bleakness that is Hell. I pushed the covers off and walked onto the balcony to properly observe the domain. The bluish tint and fog made the place look miserable and depression inducing. I heard the sheets ruffle, so I spoke over my shoulder.

"You did well servicing me last night."

"U-Understood." She gulped.

"It's comforting to know that you learn quickly." I smiled and turned to face a naked Erana. "I assume those last lacerations taught you how to properly perform."

"Y-Yes." She meekly looked down.

"Tell Gello to prepare an audience, for I wish to have another meeting." I turned around.

"O-Okay." She stood up and gathered her clothes.

"Kiss the ring." I swiveled around and held out my engagement ring. (It's the one Kiki gave her btw)

Erana gulped and slowly approached. She bowed and got on one knee. She lowered he face and shook as her lips briefly touched my ring. She then slowly stood and left without another word. I walked to my bathroom and stared at the already filled tub. I released a breath and stepped into the pool of blood. I lowered myself until I was seated. My thoughts were dark with no opportunity for any light. I allowed myself to submerge and closed my eyes as I felt myself become rejuvenated from the blood of innocents.

After washing up, I dressed in a gown that had a train. The demons dropped to a knee and bowed when I passed. I continued walking until I arrived at the throne room. Everyone's head was lowered as I sat on the throne. I stared straight ahead while the others slowly lifted their heads.

"Update." I spoke.

"Your majesty, we haven't made any progress." My eyes hardened at his words. "We're trying really hard, but there's no-"

I silenced him by whipping my hand in the air. The motion caused his head to explode and his lifeless body to flop to the floor. His other companions were shaking and I had no use for the imbeciles, so I rolled my eyes and caused sickness to invade their body. They coughed and clenched themselves in pain. They soon dropped to the ground and howled in pain before they died. I flicked my wrist and watched as their bodies disintegrated into the air.

"Useless as usual." I commented.

Erana's head was slightly lowered and I could hear the increase in her breathing. She was practically shaking, but trying to compose herself. Gello cleared her throat, causing me to look at her. I sat back in my seat and stared at her.

"Well, we'll have to move three more people from Hell's gates and have them search the rooms-"

"Addison, it's been 2 years." Gello cut me off, causing me to raise an irritated brow. "Apologies." She lowered her head.

"I'm aware it's been 2 years." I gripped the armrests, making them to crack. "And no progress has been made."

"I understand, but it may prove moot." Gello cautiously spoke.

"How dare-"

"You keep murdering demons everyday, expecting a new result!" Erana stared at the ground as she challenged me. "You know what will be reported everyday, but do not care. This has been going on for 2 years. You just enjoy killing people." Her voice shook.

"It seems that you've been thinking this for a while, Erana." I slowly stood, making her shake.

"You need to be more empathetic and understand-"

"Huh?" She went rigid as I slowly descended the steps. "You believe I'm not empathetic... well, I consider myself to be a very empathetic person. I can understand how people feel." I then circled her, making her and Gello stiffen. "But maybe... other people don't understand how I feel?" I stopped and punched my chest. "I... I think that's the issue. Right, Erana?" I faced her.

"Umm..."

"Yes." I chuckled to myself. "These demons don't understand my pain from this. So that's why they aren't as motivated-"

"Addison-"

"Shh." I brought my finger to her lips, resulting in Gello gulping. "I should tell them how I'm affected... no! I... I should show them. I should show everyone what it feels like, to be me." I faced them, resulting in Erana's heart to increasingly beat.

I passed them and walked to the courtyard. I heard their steps follow and then stop as I stared at the never ending expanse of Hell. I held my hands out and felt scorching pain travel through my veins, until I completely succumbed to the darkness. The darkness slowly poisoned me until I completed my transformation. Nevertheless, I ignored the discomfort and wickedly smiled as I watched the world turn.

I heard the two gasp as the bluish tint shifted to an orange/ reddish tint to resemble constant fire. The landscape then changed into a fiery wasteland. I cackled as the chilled air warmed to a temperature similar to a desert. My original thought was to make it hotter than a nuclear bomb, but that would cause all the demons to immediately die. I couldn't allow that since they needed to find a way to bring my lover back.

I then swiped the air and completely changed the composition of the air. I heard the two wheeze and smirked since my effect worked. I turned and saw them slowly become acclimated to the sulfuric air. I then squeezed my fist and heard them grunt as they fell to their knees. Erana and Gello struggled to maintain their human appearance, but if we're going to be in my Hell, then they're going to act the part.

"Please." Gello slowly looked up as the magic veil began to break and her demonic appearance took form.

"No." I passed them and caught a glimpse of them in their demonic form. "Death to all." I chuckled and entered the palace.

I was walking down the corridor when I heard the sound of tiny feet. I rolled my eyes as Blake came into view. He looked terrified and raced towards me. I stiffened when he wrapped his arms around me and released a relieved sigh. Blake's teary eyes met my stoic ones.

"Mom! What happened?! I was with Gad and then he changed into something horrifying. And the air is sickening and it's hot and-"

"Leave me child." I unwrapped him from me and pushed him away.

"But mom!"

He tried to touch me, so I flung my arm back. Blake screamed as he went flying into the wall. He flopped onto the ground and wailed in pain while clutching his broken arm. I couldn't deal with the ridiculous noise, so I stalked towards him. He gulped as I crouched next to him. He still cried like the pussy he is.

"You want to cry?" He slowly nodded at me. "Alright, this'll make you cry." I then squeezed down on his broken arm, making him scream. "Scream. Scream. Scream." I laughed while he looked about ready to pass out from the pain. "Scream louder." I ordered.

"Your majesty!" Gadreel whipped around the corner. When he saw the scene, he stopped and released a shaky breath. "Please, have mercy on-"

"Have mercy?!" I flung my head back and laughed. I stood and faced him. "Me? Show mercy? Did anyone ever show that to me?" I posed, making him gulp. "And you never interfered." I stopped a few feet from him. I held my hand out and slowly closed it, resulting in several of Blake's bones breaking. Blake screamed and Gad looked terrified. "How's that for mercy?"

"Please." Gadreel spoke.

"Not enough mercy?" I then made Blake's blood begin to boil, making him wail.

"Please!" Gad dropped to his knees.

"You're weak." I released Blake. "Like a mortal." I passed the guy and heard him race to Blake. "Never make him approach me again." I sneered and rounded the corner.

I went to my room and slammed the door closed. I approached the dresser and opened a drawer. I pulled out a box and looked at the objects. I held the ghost plushie Kiki gave me to my chest. I then used magic to close the blinds and soundproof the door. I then lost all energy and fell to the ground where I sobbed for her. I begged her to come back and that I needed her. I squeezed the plushie so hard and tried whispering into it, hoping that she'd hear and return.

But... she didn't.
