Hells diary

Chapter four:

>>>Echoes of retribution

The human boy listened intently to Thane's rules, taking note of everything. But his curiosity got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's the Sanctum?"

Thane's body tensed, his eyes daring the boy to ask again. But the boy quickly backtracked, not wanting to anger his new owner. "No, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask."

Thane sighed, running his fingers through his silver hair. "Don't worry, I'm sure you're just curious."

The boy nodded, feeling a mix of relief and fear.

"I need to know your name," Thane said, his voice softening.

"But I don't have a name," the boy replied, looking down.

Thane's eyes narrowed. "What did your parents call you? Or friends at school?"

The boy hesitated before speaking. "My parents died when I was little. My uncle told me they committed suicide, and i don't go to school."

Thane's expression turned to that or curiosity. "I'm sorry to hear that. But what did your uncle call you?"

The boy shrugged. "He called me many names, but Brad told me they were all insults."

Thane's eyes flashed with anger, and he seemed to be thinking to himself. 

"Whose brad?," Thane asked.
 
"A person",the boy said.

"And were does Brad live?,"Thanes gaze eyeing him intently.

"In my head",the boy said with a smile.

Thane looked shocked,but regained his composure and just nodded.

"Your name is Gage,gem". Thane said

"My name is Gagegem?" The boy asked his expression that one of confusion.

"No,your name is Gage sweety",Thane said softly.

"But you called me Gem?"

"Yes,i called you Gem. Your name is Gage,and i,and only i is allowed to call you Gem". Thane said his voice that of amusement at seeing the boys flustered face.

"Okay" the boy said his face red as a tomato.

"Can i know your name?"

Thane nodded." Off course,my name is Wrath,but you can call me Thane."

"Okay Thanny" ,the boy said giggling.

Thane just laughed at his reddened face and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

"I like it," Thane said smiling.

After hours of talking and understanding the boys way of saying and answering things,Thane knew that Gage was a sick child,so he guessed. He had to be sick psychologically .

Thane promised himself he'd help him get better,not that he wasn't better,just help him be okay.

Gage had already gone to bed,and Thane kissed him good night on the fore head. Now,time to have a little chat. Let's pay a visit to Gages dear uncle.

....................................................................................................................................................................................

The uncle sneered at Thane, "Who are you?"

Thane's response was chillingly calm, his voice dripping with malevolence, "I am death, the bringer of darkness and despair."

The uncle laughed, but his smile faltered as Thane's eyes burned with an otherworldly intensity.

"I've done far worse than you could ever imagine," the uncle boasted, his words dripping with sadistic pleasure. "I've crushed Gage's soul, shattered his mind, and destroyed his innocence."

Thane's calm demeanor never wavered, his face a mask of serenity, but his eyes blazed with a fierce wrath.

When the uncle finished, Thane spoke in a voice that sent shivers down the spine, "You will suffer the same fate, a fate worse than death itself."

As if summoned by Thane's words, dark creatures emerged from the shadows, their eyes blazing with an infernal light. They descended upon the uncle like a swarm of vengeful demons, their jaws open wide, ready to devour him alive.

Thane watched, unmoved, as the uncle's screams filled the air, his body consumed by the very horrors he had inflicted on Gage. The house erupted in flames, the fire raging with a ferocity that seemed almost sentient.

Thane turned and walked away, leaving behind a trail of destruction, the uncle's agonized cries echoing in his mind, a grim reminder of the fate that awaited those who dared to cross him.

Descending into the depths of Hell, Thane found himself before the throne of Lucifer. The Prince of Darkness lounged casually, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and curiosity.

"How is your little mate coming along?" Lucifer asked, a smirk playing on his lips. "I must admit, it's quite entertaining watching you. So impatient, so eager to kill the boy. You know, I have plans for his soul, very personal reasons."

Thane's expression was unreadable, his voice steady. "Everything is fine. But I need to make things clear."

Lucifer arched an eyebrow, leaning forward with interest. "Oh? And what is it you wish to clarify?"

Thane stepped closer, his gaze unwavering. "Do not dare approach Gage. If you do, I will kill you."

Lucifer's laughter echoed through the chamber, a sound both sinister and mocking. "Are you threatening me, Sin?"

Thane's eyes burned with an intensity that cut through the darkness. "Call it what you will, but if you touch him, I'll make sure you regret it."

Lucifer's amusement faltered, a flicker of something darker crossing his face. Thane continued, his voice a whisper of menace, "You've underestimated me before, and it will be your undoing."

Before Lucifer could respond, Thane turned and vanished, leaving the ruler of Hell in a state of utter shock. For the first time in eons, Lucifer was left with a feeling he rarely experienced—uncertainty.

Returning from the depths of Hell, Thane quietly entered Gage's room. He found Gage sleeping soundly, his face peaceful in the soft glow of the moonlight. Thane approached the bed and stood for a moment, watching over him with a tender expression. Leaning down, Thane whispered softly, "I will protect you, Gage. No more will you suffer." With that, he gently kissed Gage on the forehead, a promise sealed with the lightest touch. Thane then turned and left the room, his resolve stronger than ever to keep Gage safe from all harm.
