The hell house

Chapter 07

Lucy saw that he couldn't convince anyone and no one was ready to listen to her so she thought of a plan to escape from hell.

The gates of hell had very tight security 5 demons were in the front of the main entrance and 5 more stood at the gate which led to Satan.

There was no way even a fairy could escape this place.The gates were locked and opened when souls were brought only.The line was still going and Lucy was close to meeting her judgment and spent the rest of eternity in hell.

"Remember you have to go to the animal realm or master will kill you he needs 3 animal souls,"one demon whispered to the other one

"Why do we always have to take animal souls this is not fair just because they can't stand up for themselves,"the other demon furiously said.

"Master better not catch you saying that or he'll put you in the everlasting fire of death,"the demon seemed serious as he tried showing the other demon his way.

"But.."He looked up to the other demon

"No buts get going or do you want to be Satan's dinner tonight,"he interrupted him

"No,"he looked down

"Now get going,"he led him out

Just then a very unusual change in weather occurred and there wind blew hard.Everyone was distracted ,it was Lucy's chance to flee from there.Quickly she followed the demon as he made way to the animal realm.

It was hard for to follow the demon as the demon kept looking back.He almost saw her by an inch.

The demon stood still as he noticed he was being followed.He looked back and his eyes Lucy's and they both went silent.

"You!"he went straight to Lucy."what are you doing here master will surely punish you for this deed of yours!"

"I shall not go back to that place again,"Lucy looked straight in his eyes their faces were so close but she didn't feel intimidated at all.

They were already far away from hell and there was no way the demon was going to take her back then come back again to go to the animal realm.

They were already close to the animal realm so he thought he could take her with her and take the animal souls then after return to hell.

He tied her hands with a rope she tried to resist but the demon was too strong for her and he had the strength of a giant.

"These ropes are made from some part of my master no soul can ever break through this now let's get going,"he held her as they made their way to the animal realm

She tried loosening the rope but the harder she tried the more tight they became.

The king arrived at the palace along with the guards he headed to his room with a heavy heart.

"My lord!my lord!the princess is not in her room I found pillows in her bed,"the maid kneed down before the king.

"Stand up!stand up!"The king shouted like a drunk man

The maid stood up quickly but looked down.This was the first time the king has ever shouted at a servant.

He was known to have a dark aura and he didn't really speak to the servants but he spoke with his one and only servant Marcus only.He trusted Marcus with his life.

"Make sure no one knows of this if you dare speak about this I'll rip you apart along with your family you hear me!"he shouted as he grabbed the maid by her cheek

"Yes my king I won't tell anyone I promise,"her tears were falling down his cheek and she was ready to run of there but if she did she would have disrespected the king and would receive a great punishment.

"Dismissed you may go,"he signaled her to leave."Wait!"

She was about to leave then he stopped her so she stood there waiting to hear what he was about to say.

"Make sure to lock Lucy's door and tell the servants that they are no longer allowed to go in her room,"he looked at her."Now you may leave."

The maid made her way out of there the king fell on his knees and his mind was racing tears falling down his cheek and his heart pumping very hard.

At that very moment everything went silent...

He woke up to find himself sleeping on his bed and his wife was in a chair beside him waiting for him to wake up.

"What happened?"he tried standing up but his head couldn't take the pressure so he tucked himself in the bed.

"One of the servants found you in the hallway the prophet says you fainted due to stress,"she held his hand and placed a kiss gently on his forehead

"I have to tell you something honey we have a problem,"he looked at her as he made sure her hand does not leave his.

"Can't it wait?the prophet said you shouldn't talk a lot because your head is under severe pressure,"she stood up and poured water in a glass and handed it to him.

She helped him lift his head and made him drink the water then she gently laid his head on the pillow making sure he was comfortable.

"No honey it can't wait,"he held his hand again and looked at her with a serious face.

She sat down on the chair once again.

"It's about Lucy,"he sighed."Eldermor took over Lucy's body and Lucy's spirit has vanished I think she had escaped from the palace and went there and I too went there."

"What?so he has resurrected ,"Her face turned pale.

"Yes and now that he has entered Lucy's body he'll be more powerful than ever we won't be able to survive this one,"he looked up to her again only to find her crying

Will they be able to overcome the storm headed their way?
