Damien was curled under a tree, a tiny fire made by Damien's hand was burning in front of him. Damien looks at it and then thinks of Pip.
"Pip..." he thinks of Pip's heartbeat. At first, he was confused about what it was, not having one himself, but when he realizes what it is, he learns to love it.
Damien has intensified senses, like taste, sight, and hearing. Damien could hear all sorts of things, one being Pip's heartbeat. When in the same room, he could hear it beat and beat and beat—it was so cute to Damien.
Royal demons like Damien don't get heartbeats until they get married to their true loves. Damien sighs, "Oh, Pip... what am I going to do?" he thinks, 'I'll steal a bunch of money from the castle, then we will leave hell and move to the overworld. As much as I hate it, we will have enough money to never need to work, and we can just spend all our time together. I like the idea of that...'
Damien sighs, thinking of Pip. "Philip... if you're okay, can you give me a sign? I don't know how you would, but if you can, please just tell me... are you okay?" Damien is silent as he prays for some kind of response, but none comes. "I knew it was stupid to ask. I mean, how would you answer? It's not like you can die again and escape the torment."
Damien turns over onto his back. "I'll get you back, Philip. I'll save you. I promise." Damien is quiet. "I wish I said it more than just one time, but... Philip... I'm not great at showing my emotions. I know that is a fact. If I was, then I probably could have held you in my arms more, but... I love you... a lot. I don't usually like anyone, not even in a friend way, but you... you change something in me. It's like you're a missing gear in me. And even if we can't kiss because it'll burn you, I still want and need to hold you in my arms. I know we can make it work. I love you, Philip. I love you so much."
Damien goes silent after that. Not knowing what else to say. That's when he hears a snap, jolting up, fire lit in his hand, looking around. "Who's there!? Who did that!?" Damien was worried it was a guard who had come to find him.
Damien looks around more, but there was no reply. "Hello!?" That's when he hears a whisper.
"I told you he heard us."
"Shut up, Kelly."
"Both of you shut up. Before he-"
"Girls? Is that you?" Damien asks.
"Shit. You know what, fuck this."
"Willow!"
Willow jumped up off the dark woodwork. "Heeeey, Your royal highness! How are you?" The others sigh and also jump out as well.
"How long were you guys there for?" Damien asks.
"Not too long, just long enough to hear you call out to your love," Kelly says.
Damien went red. "You heard that?"
"Yes, we did," Willow replied. Damien goes silent before he catches on fire.
"Oh shit! What the fuck!?" Stella yells, out of shock, the girls panic.
Damien shakes his head, and the fire goes out. "Don't panic! It just happens when I get too flustered...." Damien crosses his arms and sighs. "Why are you here anyway?"
"We wanted to help you find Philip!" Stella responds.
Damien blinks and shakes his head in disapproval. "Thanks, but I don't need help. I'm the prince of darkness. I can do it myself. I'll save Philip, and we will live happily ever after far away from this place!" Damien smiles at the thought.
"Yeah, but....you underestimate the torturer grounds. Sure, you are the prince of darkness, but you aren't yet fully trained. You need help. You need our help," Kelly says.
Damien is silent, then sighs. "Dear father....fine. Come along then, see if I care, but I will be the one to set Philip free! Then he and I will ride off into peace and harmony!! We will make sweet love—wait, that sounds weird. I mean, like, we kiss and stuff, oh wait, the curse! I mean, we don't kiss, we....hug? I'm not one for touch either but..." Damien stops talking before it gets any worse and sighs again as he sits back down. "God...."
Willow laughs as she sits next to him, along with Kelly and Stella. "You love him, don't you?"
"Y-Yes....we confessed to each other before....that hag kissed me! I swear if I see her again I'm going-" Damien was cut off by Willow.
"Woah! Calm down! Now would Philip like you saying that?" she asks.
Damien is silent as he looks down and shakes his head. "Philip is too nice to hurt anyone....he's also beautiful....so beautiful....you know I used to think he was a girl until I was told otherwise. I think it was the hair that made me think that, or maybe the voice. The point is when I first went to South Park, way back when I was 8-9, I met him, and he was stunning. However, stupid me didn't see that at the time! I turned him into a firework at some psycho's birthday. I pick quantity over quality, and I have been a fool ever since. Oh Philip, Philip, I'm sorry for everything! Please! Oh please! Be okay and hug me tightly when I find you!" Damien cried out to the night.
"Ok....geez, you like to talk fancy," Willow mumbled.
"I talk fancy?" Damien asks.
"Yes!" Willow says.
Kelly then pops up with a muffled voice. "You sound like you're from the Bible or something! Oh, that's right....you're the anti-christ."
Damien gave her a look of confusion. "How did you forget that?"
"Well, we never thought the anti-christ would be gay, so we sometimes forget...." Stella responds.
Damien looks at them for a second before looking up at the sky. "Geez...." he mumbled, "We will keep going tomorrow. For now, we, or at least I, need to rest." Damien lies down next to the fire and closes his eyes. The girls do the same, and Damien, soon, falls into a nice deep sleep, dreaming about Pip.
