DAYS PAST: 1898, LUCIFERS REALM 

She was dying. The pain was so great that she could not be alive. But he forced her. He forced her to get up again and fight. She hated fighting. Laila fought to keep her eyes open, she did not want to be punished. She had only been here for 5 months, yet she had to call him father. He was not her father. Laila got up, she could not fail him, for he would kill her. 

"Very good Laila" he seethed. She hated him. His sigil was still burning on her stomach. But she still got up. She got up and killed her opponent. The Shadowhunter's lifeless body slid to the ground. She did not feel accomplished, she felt horrible. She hated killing her own kind. She hated killing Nephilim, for she was Nephilim. 

"Now use the magic, the magic I gave you." His voice was even, but the sound still terrified Laila. Her powers were a curse, a curse given by him. He was the devil, while she was just one of his slaves.

One day, she thought. One day she will run, run far away and come back. She would come back to kill him.
