"So I run to devil. He's waiting. So I run to devil. He's waiting all along them days..."

Ravia stood on the grey tiled steps that lead all the way over to the five storey high building that stood a good a eight steps from her. She looked up and saw that dark clouds were gathered in the sky. She signed and shook her head in exasperation.

" This is so not a good idea," she said.

Lightening flashed across the dark sky and the thunder followed after. Ravia quickly walked up the steps in hope of escaping the rain that would eventually start pouring and knocked on the door. She stood at the door for almost five minutes and got no reply. She raised her hand and rapped her knuckles on the door again. She knocked once. Then twice and as she was about to do it for a third time, the door opened slowly with a slight creak you could tell just by looking at the door hinges that the place was very old as the exterior of the building or better yet "mansion" told an entirely different story. She looked up and saw a tall, pale skinned man that looked to be about in his early forties or so. He had dull blue eyes that appeared lifeless and feint wrinkles around the corner of his mouth.

She was roused out of her reverie when the man cleared his throat and asked in a soft but deep voice that seemed to echo slightly, " Good afternoon miss. How may I help you?"

Ravia ran her fingers through her hair and replied," I'm here to see...er....uhm...well...to s-see uhmm L-Lucifer...." She trailed off.

The man well butler as it seems raised a single brow in question. As if to say she must continue. "Well I was told to come here for information regarding to my birth..uhm..father."

The butlers eyes seemed to brighten up a bit with life at this and asked,"Are you by chance Miss Ravia Fontaine?"

A rush of cool breeze blew across her skin leaving a trail of goosebumps on Ravia's arms and shivered. She looked at the man as she wrapped her thin black sweater around her shoulders tightly and wordlessly asked if she could enter and was lead into a huge foyer that was covered in dark drapes that made the room warm and was given a seat on a beautifully upholstered velvet cushioned chair. She then looked up at the butler

"Yes I'm Ravia Fontaine," she replied.

The butler seemed to lose his ever present frown and smiled. "Ah, you are Master Lucifer's daughter," he stated without asking.

Ravia just sat that there speechless without saying a word or made a noise.

"Oh, I forgot my manners," said the butler. " My name is Cornelio and as you can see," he gestured to himself with a wave. "I am your fathers butler as well as head of household."

Ravia simply nodded. Cornelio then turned around and cleared his throat and called out,"Everyone she's here!"

And in less than a minute, not hearing neither a sound nor a rush of feet all the servants of the house it seems stood before her.

"Everyone this is miss Ravia Fontaine. The masters daughter and the princess."

All the servants bowed before and Ravia still speechless, waved. Cornelio then peered around the crowd of servants as if looking for someone and asked,"Where's the master?"

"I'm right here," replied a deep baritone voice.

Ravia looked around searching for the source from which the voice came from. She felt a cool hand on her shoulders and looked up and saw Lucifer. Her father.......

"Hello Princess."

Ravia continued to stare at Lucifer's face and all that came from her mouth was, "fuck!"
