A Wedge Between the Three Worlds (TNN)

Chapter 12

Didn't mention it, but the chapters are not biblical obviously so it's different.

"How do you NOT care you're in Hell?" Mia asked annoyed with how the human was acting. "I just don't, it is really a bad thing. And plus, I don't think anything too bad will happen to me if I'm bait," Winter replied, looking around the room since they'd been teleported to the king room as Roger sat in his chair. "It's kind of interesting in here, not as hot as I imagined it to be or is it because you teleported a mortal that it's not that bad temperature wise? You know what, don't actually answer that, and I don't care because I kind of knew you three might've been demons. Hold on, SORSCHA? YOU FUCKER! YOU LEFT ME AND YOU'RE A DEMON!" Winter shouts, seeing his coworker pass as she just laughs at him, walking closer.

"So, you have an archangel roommate, that's neat, and yes, that job was only temporary to be said, I left the first chance I had. And the better question is why you aren't scared of knowing what we truly look like." Sorscha notes, wanting to know more about that powerful angel that managed to defeat the prince, princess, and the older demon at once with ease.

"I mean, you aren't even that scary, you've just got horns and those wings that look more broken that they won't even fly." Winter just stated, looking more amused than scared. "So, am I actually going to meet the King of Hell or what?" Winter asks with a bit of a laugh, looking at the four demons around him. "Also, why am I the bait? Couldn't you four of chosen an angel the other person would've preferred, like why a human and not an angel if you're using me as bait because the angel would try and save one of their kind before a mortal, wouldn't they?" Winter asks as his logic made sense in a way.

"We couldn't find her," Mia replied through gritted teeth, shoving Winter to his knees as Roger walked in. "Oh, come on, it was quite amusing was it not?" Winter just asks before noticing Roger's presence.

"So, you're the mortal that the archangel has roomed with and known for a long time, did you know she was faking it and pretending to be the same age as you?" The King of Hell asks.  Winter just looked at the King of Hell, not saying anything just yet having a nod as his reply to Roger. "Yeah, I guess it would seem that way, I'd known her since I was 5." "Go send him in the chamber cell, you three know which one I'm talking about." Roger told his kids and Mia, not needing to clarify. The chamber he was mentioning was one close to a human dungeon, not burning or torturing like they thought he'd do. Reece nodded at his father's command, grabbing Winter's wrist hard, pulling him up before teleporting to the dungeon and throwing him in, locking the door behind him before teleporting back to where his sister and best friend was, Roger not there since he left in the time it took Reece to put Winter in his dungeon.

"That was odd, I thought father would've done something worse," Autumn commented since Roger was ruthless to every demon, including Mia and his kids, so why was he lenient on Winter. "Maybe he knows you like him," Mia teased because it was very likely, and the last time she liked someone, Roger didn't comment on it.

Winter stared at the ceiling, counting the number of guards. He had played exactly how he wanted to, put himself right into hell. Now, all he had to do was get information for Clodagh. They didn't have to know he used to be a cherubim but had willingly given the role up and became human, just like Clodagh had tried. "Don't worry, I'll get you soon," Clodagh's voice rang out from his mind. They could easily talk telepathically, an ability most didn't have, "No, bring me to Earth, I'll do a trade. The king misses his wife, that's why he would want a strong angel like Marjorie, if we give her to him, then we could easily try and make peace. Focus on letting Marjorie absorb as much information, send Carly to me, they think she's human as well." Winter replied. "Well, that is the fun part, but technically I kind of am Winter," Carly spoke, joining the telepathically talk. "Alright, I will, Marjorie would be a much better ruler here, we might overthrow the king of heaven if we play our cards correctly, make sure to warn Hell of the creatures heaven is going to be sending, the hellhounds and vicious serpents are first," Clodagh replied, knowing that heaven once fought them and almost failed until Roger's grandfather helped out from hell. "Got it," Winter replied telepathically, grabbing the first guard he sees.

"I demand to be seen by the princess of hell, I'm her, uh, boyfriend!" Winter said, making the first excuse up as Clodagh shifted a ring that looked similar to the one the princess wore. The guard saw it before bowing, letting Winter out, knowing that he couldn't disobey if Winter was Autumn's boyfriend, the ring there was one that guards knew their partners would have so they wouldn't harm them because nobody messed with the royal's partner. "What you in for then?" The guard asked. "Um, I pissed the king off somehow," Winter muttered, not really knowing an excuse that'd work as the guard just chuckled. "Same thing happened with the one Mia tried to court, it never ended well, her girlfriend kept getting sent to a cell," The guard commented, telling a story as he suddenly teleported Winter to Autumn's bedroom.

"Well, that worked just the same," Winter told himself, looking at the empty room, just sitting on her bed and waited for the others to arrive.

"Princess, your boyfriend is in your room," The guard said to Autumn who was still with Mia and Reece. "Great, who the fuck is pretending to be your boyfriend this time?" Reece asked, almost annoyed. It wasn't unknown for someone to pretend to be her boyfriend just to get better treatment, but sent to her bedroom, that was a first.

The three of them teleported to her room, expecting to see some demon, but instead find Winter sitting on her bed, almost bored, holding a ring that he should not have gotten, a royal seal only the princess could give to a suitor. "So that's how you got sent to the room," Mia commented, grabbing it and crushing it since it was a realistic fake

"Wasn't that hard to get out of the prison cell, now, how would you three like to learn of a danger coming to Hell, one so great it was never heard of, but almost defeated the angels in heaven." Winter just asks.
