It was loud in Hell. Louder than she thought it would be. After being dragged down however many years ago she'd lost all hope of ever leaving. Her father was not much help, some high lord demon he was. Couldn't even free his own daughter for the prison of his own making.

She could never quite drown out all the screaming. Her ears were better than that of normal humans, she could hear everything. Every soul being tormented. Every demon who laughed. There was not one thing in hell that happened that she couldn't hear.

However as the door to her torture chamber opened slowly she did not recognize the footsteps of the ghost who quickly hid. Her eyes slowly lifted upwards, her face red and puffy of tears.

There on the ground next to her was a boy her age. With pale skin, blood dripping from his forehead, almost black hair and the most intense emerald eyes she'd ever seen. His face was covered in terror as he looked around the room.

Bodies covered every inch. Bloody mutilated bodies. Limps and guts were torn out and scattered about. The faces of horror forever laced in the corpses.

"Who are you?" Her voice came out hoarse, her last screaming fit having only been a few minutes ago.

"....Edwin Payne." His voice was soft, maybe a bit fearful.

She chuckled softly, pain? His last name was Payne and he was in hell.

"I think you're in the wrong room." She whispered softly, leaning closer to him. He shook his head furiously, the blood in his face crippled down.

"No! I shouldn't be here at all!" He whisper yells. The girl nodded softly as some demon crawled in front of her door. Edwin froze up, his eyes locking upon the entrance.

"Don't worry sacrifice, most of the demons avoid this room." She mumbled laying her head back down in her knees. He slowly turned to her, he studied her frame quickly.

"Come with me." He whispered. She snapped her head up staring into his soul.

"Excuse me?"

"Come with me, I'm escaping. If these demons are so afraid of you then maybe it will be better for the both of us." She didn't answer.

Her gaze traveled around the carnage covered room. Her father wasn't evening much help getting her out of here. Her own mother laid with the corpses. Maybe that wasn't really her, maybe her soul was somewhere else.

"That doesn't frighten you? That demons are afraid of me?" He shock his head.

"Not if it gets us out of this place." She nodded her head. He slowly stood up, lowering his hand for her to take.

Then she took it.

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

This was royally stupid.

Her feet pattered against the ground as she ran away from the ghost the persuaded them. Her thighs ached as she followed after Charles. His bag bounced as Edwin ran next to him.

This was not how she wanted to spend her Saturday. She had planned on sitting in the couch with a cup of instant ramen and watch Peter Pan. However the boys had other plans.

And now she was running from some crazed soldier who was screaming his head off. She watched as the boys bickered between each other. Charles threw the bag to the ground going through it.

The trio stood in a circle, as Charles pulls out an iron knife from his bag.

"Iron knife! Give him a right smart burn if he tries anything." Charles snapped as he raised the knife. Y/n rolled her eyes as her hands gently lit up in hues of scarlet.
