Dip - Heaven in hell

Chapter 28

I give a slight laugh. "Pretty funny creation of his. He made it to take down anyone he personally didn't like."

"Your dad commands that thing?" Pip's voice is shaky. 

"Yea? What's up?"

"I just remembered something."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I died to that thing. That thing killed me."

"What?"

"That creation killed me."

"Are you sure it was this one? It could've been something else-"

"No, Damien. It was this one. I remember so clearly. I was trying to get it to leave south park alone and it... It killed me..."

We sit in silence for a while. My dad... He is the only one who has control over that thing. He... Did he kill Pip? Why? He doesn't just kill people for fun, he was going for Pip. He wanted Pip dead.

"...Pip, I..."

"He killed me."

"I'm sure there's an explanation..."

"For killing me? That isn't something you can just shrug off!"

"I know, you're right. I just need to... I need to talk to him."

"You're going back there?"

"I have to, Pip. I need answers."

"Okay... If you have to. But please be careful. If you aren't back by midnight I'm going to assume you aren't coming back."

"What will you do if I don't come back?"

"I... I guess I would go back to heaven..."

"Okay. I'll be back by midnight. I love you."

Pip blushes and looks away. "I... I love you too..."

"Aww, you are so adorable."

"Shut up..."

"Whatever you say. I'll be back."

I open a portal to the castle and take a deep breath. Right before I step in Pip swings me around and pulls me into a kiss. I embrace his waist and hold him close to me. My mind is able to relax a bit. His lips are like a drug.

We pull away and make deep eye contact before I turn to the portal and step in.

The portal closes behind me. I feel the heat surround me. 

My dad is usually in his throne room around this time of day. I have 12 hours to get the answers I need.

Just as I thought. My father is on his throne. He looks pissed off.

I step in. "Heyyyy daaaddd..."

"Damien!"

"Been a while, huh."

"Your insubordinate behavior has reached unacceptable limits."

"So I've heard. You sent Davis to find me instead of finding me yourself. Very classy, father."

"You understand that there will be consequences?"

"I'm sure. I want you to answer something for me first. After you answer my questions I'll take whatever your punishment is."

"Fine. What is your question?"

"A creation of yours, Mecha-Streisand. That one is under your direct control, yes?"

"Yes. I'm surprised you know about her. Did you find it in that little book the librarian gave you?"

"What? You knew?"

"He told me."

"Fuck..."

"I'm sure you can guess what other information he shared."

"..." I stare at him angrily, but to him, I'm sure I look like an angry puppy.

"That angel of yours. I know him, and I'm sure I know what your question is. He is the one you loved when you were on Earth. And yes, Damien. I did kill him. I couldn't have him interfering with your duties. Of course, he still got in my way. Rest assured, he will be taken care of."

All the blood drains from my face and my expression morphs into fear. "What? No, you can't touch him!"

He nods to a group of guards behind me. They lock my hands in cuffs that prevent me from using my powers.

"My son, you will reflect on your actions in the dungeon for the next three days."

"Wait- WAIT!"
