With the burning of my scalp increasing, my senses increased as well. I could hear and smell everything, as well as see every detail of what was happening. Instead of a hiss, the creatures words were pronounced now. He cursed at me and grabbed my mouth, holding it closed. I can smell a scent of burning colon and rain, such a stranger combination, yet it smelt so delicious. Black smog filled the air and worry itched its way onto the creatures face. He let go of me and tried to run, but it was as if he hit a invisible wall.

"Oh no, I can't let you just walk away. What type of fun would that be?!" A white creepy smile formed in the smoke like Cheshire the cat. As the smile got closer, his eyes formed and they went from red to a suffocating black.

"I-its not what it looks like, I swear!" The creature hissed backing up as far as possible.

"Give me a second sweet cheeks, my body is still loading" Death said, finally addressing me. His arms came out of the shadow and with a flick of his wrist, the rope around me burned in half. For some reason though, i still can't move.

"Why can't I move!" I said, lifting my head a little so i can make eye contact.

"Your changing, don't worry about it" he said stepping out of the black smog, shaking a black cloud off his leg. "should've fucking teleported" he mumbled. He looked at the creature and start stalking towards him with a scowl.

"I swear its not what it looks like!" The creature yelled clawing at the invisible wall he was trapped in.

"Really? Because it looked like you tried to kidnap and poison my future bride" he growled

"POISON?!" I yelled, my body jerked upwards in a sitting position. I looked towards them but my vision was blurry. I reached up and felt my face. I screamed when i felt scales like a reptile on my cheeks. I scooted back and bumped into some type of wall, but through my blurry vision i couldn't see a wall.

"You, my little trouble maker, are in your own little box because I have to take you home" Death said "and if you would calm down the scales will go away."

Confused with this whole situation, I of course did the exact opposite. I started hyperventilating and many worst case situations started to play out into my head. My scalp started prickling with heat again and I reached up to touch my hair.

"No don't-!" Death yelled

"OW! F*CK!!" I hissed, yes hissed, and pilled my hand back. "Why?..."

"Your hair is on fire, but its not burning off, if you wanted to know" the creature hissed at me. I heard Death smack the back of his head before I passed out.

"Hey dad, how are you?" I asked as I opened the door. I was shocked to see my mother with an angry expression on her face as she stormed into the house. My dad walked in holding four bags, one his, two my moms, and one full of work papers. They were still arguing in Italian as he walked up stairs into the guest room, my mother following him there. Ten minutes later they came back down stairs still arguing. I shook my head because now they are arguing about married couple things like leaving the toilet seat up.

"Hey mom" I said, as soon as I directly addressed my mother she smiled and came to hug me tight. My dad rolled his eyes and joined in on the hug, grateful for the distraction.

"Ooooh I'm so happy to see my baby boy!" My mom cheered pinching my cheeks.

"Ma, come on, stop it!" I yelled smacking her hands away before my cheeks could bruise. My dad smiled at us but when mom turned around he snickered and whispered "mommas boy."

"I heard that!" My mom yelled from the kitchen, I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen  to see my mom looking in the oven frowning. "Where  is the food, it is seven o'clock?"

"Rox is staying over her friends house, and her guards are out doing there human jobs. But even if they were here, they wouldn't eat the human food unless Rox was here. " I stated.

"Ah yes, they are picky eaters aren't they?" Dad mumbled. I was about to respond but I got interrupted by a knock on the door.

Tap, tap, tap-tap, tap, tap, BOOM. The jingle ended with the door being kicked open into shreds.  My dad and I tensed up, ready to fight but relaxed once we saw who it was.

Our king of course.

He walked in holding a passed out Roxanne. Her skin was scaly and her blue hair was glowing, radiating heat. Death wore a frown on his face as he sat down with her in his arms.

"My king! What are you doing on the surface?" My dad asked as he bowed his head.

"Well being the creep that I am I decided to stalk my wife again, and do you know what I find?" he asked looking at all three of us. We look at Roxanne passed out in her transformed state and looked back at Death who was frowning. "I see her about to be kidnapped!" his red eyes turned black with anger.

"W-well she was staying the night over the second guards house... they were supposed to watch her" I stumbled on my word, slightly shaking.

"Yes, but you forget that their daughter has no idea of our world, so if Roxie sneaks out, Stacy won't tell on her" my dad mumbled in my ear. Oh shit, I forgot Stacy didn't know. My mom slapped me upside the head.

"Idiot" she hissed, shaking her head.

"Is this REALLY the right time to hit him and embarrass him?" me dad asked raising an eyebrow at her.

"He is my son and I will discipline him as I see fit! Do you have a problem with that?" she hissed at him pointing at me as I rubbed my head. My mom may be 5'5 compared to my 6'3 frame, but she packs a mean punch.

"I'm just saying, the Devil is here and we are supposed to be proper in his royal presence and-" my mom cut him off.

"Proper my ass, if you haven't forgotten it we me changing those diapers in the Dark ages! I'm the best nanny in that hell hole and he still turn out on the soft side a little! He is supposed to mimic my violent ways but he shows mercy at least 10% of the time! Throwing people in the dungeon, might as well give them a 5 course mean while your at it! And another thing-" she started to argue with my dad again and I just rolled my eyes. I looked at the Devil and he rolled his eyes too.

"Where is her room?" He asked me. I showed him to her room and he set her down on the bed. He sat down next to her and she rolled onto his lap. He brushed her hair out of her face with a soft smirk on his face. She sighed in her sleep and her scales started to fade back into her skin.

"Will she be alright?" I asked.

"She just needs to relax, but now that her powers are unlocked, her memory will come back as well. I need you to be here to help her through it. You and I both know some of those memories could destroy her if she has to go though it alone again" he said looking me in the eye.

"Of course you highness, I will give my life to the queen. As everyone should" I said placing my fist over my head, sealing my promise. He nodded and dismissed me, saying he wanted alone time with his bride.
