Asmodeus

Chapter 7

Asylum nightclub. Asylum nightclub. Asylum nightclub. The sign glows a neon red with an extremely large security guard stood outside it. Without giving it a second thought me and Daeva try to head through the large mirrored double doors "identification please" says the large man as he places his arm across the door stopping us in our tracks. "We are here to see Silas" I watch the man as his face becomes unamused "identification please" he repeats "we are friends of Sherri" his face changes as he knows who I am talking about "come" is all he says as he opens the door and walks into the dark building, me and Daeva follow behind him with no idea where Asmodeus has gone. I haven't seen him since the library and I must admit I'm enjoying the peace.
We walk down a dark hallway with only red spotlights and little sound, we could hear the club music faintly, rock or metal I think, it's not exactly my first music choice. We are guided towards an elevator "top floor" is all the man says before walking away. Me and Daeva step into the elevator and we both hesitate "are we really doing this?" I look to her and she let's out a small smile as she presses the button to the top floor.
As the elevator doors open I quickly examine the room, black, everything is black, a large u shaped sofa took centre place with a wall of windows overlooking the city skyline. In front of sofa sat a large fireplace with a floating television. We step out of the elevator before the doors close and I continue to look around, to the right was a large black marble and gold bar, who needs a bar when they own one? To the left was a huge kitchen area with a long kitchen island that has four bar stools nestled neatly into it. I walk right past the bar and look behind the floating television where an overpowering black dining table sat with one, two, three... "so tell my why my good friend Sherri would send two teenagers to my nightclub" a man appears from around the corner in only a towel. His long dark hair is wet and water from his shower still glides down his body. His facial hair outlines his lips whilst leaving his jawline free and sharp, his body is heavily defined with large muscles and broad shoulders, he is tall in an overpowering way and black tattoos decorate his pale skin. I can't take my eyes off him. "We are hoping you can help us, I'm Daeva and this is Beatrix" Daeva says as she reaches for the book. His black eyes dart from me to Daeva as his expression angers "why have you brought that into my home, you need to leave" he begins to walk away "please" I beg "we just need to understand some symbols" he stops and turns to me with his eyes burning through me. His gaze makes my skin tingle as Daeva places the book on the dining table "the oldest vampire, the virgin wolf and the virgin witch" he says before Daeva even turns to the correct page, I watch him as he speaks, he's done this before. He must feel my gaze because he looks at me once again "Asmodeus?" he asks and I nod "how does everyone know about him but us?" Daeva questions "he's known for all the wrong reasons" Silas says as he heads over to the bar, pouring himself a drink, still in nothing but a towel. I watch him longing for answers "I should put some clothes on" he says as he finishes his drink and heads back the way he came in.
"That is the sexiest man I have ever seen!" Daeva whispers and I shoot her a look "we are here for answers" I whisper back "a little fun won't hurt" she winks "he couldn't keep his eyes off you!" she nudges me and I shake my head laughing. "So where is he?" Silas says as he walks back to us gesturing for us to sit on the gigantic sofa, we do. He is wearing slim black jeans and a black jumper with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows and his hair neatly scraped back in a low bun. His eyes are fixated on me once again and I want to melt. "Urm I don't know" I shrug "he kind of disappeared when he saw Sherri" Silas nods at my words "that fucking coward" he sighs in disbelief "so what actually happened with him and Sherri, you and him" Daeva asks making Silas visibly uncomfortable "let's just say we have a lot of history and I want to talk to him so be a good girl and fetch him for me" I can feel Silas growing angry "I... d... don't know h...how" I stutter "I do" before I knew it Silas lunges towards me gripping my throat "GET OFF HER!" Daeva screams as I try to push him off me "ASMODEUS" Silas bellows as my vision grows blurry "ASMODEUS" he bellows again. I gasp for air clutching at my neck as I watch Silas get thrown across the room into the glass display behind the bar causing glasses and bottles to come crashing down and shatter across the floor. In the middle of the room stood a tall black shadow figure with large horns and black feathered wings. Asmodeus? "You called?" His voice so deep it rattled the windows and shook the room" YOU KILLED HER! "Silas screams as he runs towards Asmodeus but he's thrown back once again" I can play all day" Asmodeus laughs "enough" I say with my voice croaky but neither one of them stand down. "ENOUGH!" I scream at Asmodeus as I stand in front of him. His face is not the one I know, his eyes still red but no other facial features are there. "Whatever the hell you two have going on please save it for later" I look over at Silas who is pulling glass from his head "please just help me send him back" I plead as Asmodeus once again disappears. "Are we really asking the man who just tried to kill you for help" Daeva stands eyes still wide open in shock from what just happened "I didn't try kill her I knew Asmodeus would come to her rescue" Silas picks up a bottle of whiskey, flicks the lid off and begins to drink it. "How did you know that?" I watch him as he sits back down on the sofa, bottle in hand. "I just do" he says fixing his hair "now what? The oldest vampire, you" Daeva points "a virgin wolf which we need to find and a virgin witch, would that be you? " Daeva points at me and I blush "I mean you have the virgin part but the witch part..." she continues as I cut her off "thank you Daeva" I smile awkwardly, "What does she mean the witch part?" Silas watches me as I begin to twiddle my thumbs "I have no powers" I mutter. "Technically she does because she was able to summon Asmodeus but..." Daeva speaks "that was an accident" I cut her off again "you accidentally summoned the demon of lust?" Silas looks at me in disbelief and I nod awkwardly. "Great" he smiles sarcastically "anything else I should know?" he looks from me to Daeva and back again "I've never drank human blood" Daeva blurts out. "Oh for fucks sake" is all he manages to say.
