The Demon's Voice

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

Damon

I walked through hell, a grin on my face on my face, it was nice to have a physical body once again. I remembered back, to the day of my punishment, the curse I had been given. My physical body could not leave hell, only my spirit could, and my true body was a marvellous body to say the least.

 My muscles were hard and defined, although fairly lean. My hair was dark as night and come to my shoulders in length, my eyes were the colour of blood. My long horns protruded from the top of my head, my wings came out two a meter and a half in length either side of my body, though right now they sat safely tucked against my back, my tail hung lazily to my left side, slightly touching the ground, all were red in colour. Ah yes, my body, it was amazing, a lot more amazing then that artificial thing  I thought though making it was well worth it, Rosie, I can’t wait to return you to where you really belong.

Soon, all too soon I reached my destination. It was a large castle that sat in the middle of hell, it was Lucifer’s home. Taking a deep breath I entered the castle. I knew my way around it well, I had once been a servant and a close ally to Lucifer himself, but all that was before I fell in love. The women had made me do traitorous things, and I never regrated them. She was gone now though, I only hoped she could return some day.

Finally I reached the throne room, Lucifer rarely left it. Beside him were his two remaining children. On his left was his daughter, Scarlet. Her hair was a rich dark red, body slender and arousing, his eyes black and soulless, she sat laying across the chair, her legs dangling provocatively. To lucifers right stood his son, Teivel, a hard man to get along with at the best of times. He had black hair, no horns, and a permanent frown on his face, where scarlet was all charm and lies, he was straight forward and cruel. Just like scarlet though, his eyes were black and soulless.

Finally I looked towards Lucifer, he looked just as cold as he always was, he was pretty much an older version of Teivel. I slowly moved forward and fell to my knees, kneeling in front of him “my lord” I said, a respectful tone, vile raising in my throat.

“Damon” he said, his voice cold, emotionless “thank you for answering my summons”

“You say that like a choice” I said, standing up and glaring at him

“Temper, temper” said scarlet “not a good thing to have in a man”

“Yes, Damon, you really shouldn’t be so angry, I could make your curse the same as hers” said Lucifer “that would be a blessing sir” I growled at him

“Yes, but then, how would you save her” Lucifer her

“I am not a traitor sir” I said “I do not know where she is”

“I hope so” he said “you are worth more to me here, then not”

“What is it you want sir” I said “you wouldn’t have called me here just to threaten me”

“Indeed” said Lucifer “there has been an increased amount of demonic energy in the earth realm…. In the area you have recently been feeding in”

“So” I said, rolling my eyes “this concerns me why?”

“Because it was powerful enough that even with your curse a physical body could have been created”

“Oh, you think I made a new body for the human world” I said “you took that power away from me when you cursed me, remember” I had been prepared for this, I knew he would have sense it, he was the original demon, the ruler of us all, but I had always been a good liar.

“Oh…. Maybe it wasn’t you” Lucifer said “maybe it wasn’t, the fact is, I don’t trust you so I’ll be keeping a close eye on the energy flow in your area, after all, you could be with her”

“Very well sir” I said “is that all?”

“Yes, that is everything, unless my son or daughter have something to add”

“No, father” said Teivel

“Can I play with him!” said scarlet “pretty pretty please”

“God I hope not” I said, as a shiver of disgust went done my spine

“Ugh, no surprise there” scarlet said, venom in her voice “your still in love with her”

“well, duh” said Teivel “even I know that, and I’m an unemotional zombie” it was true, his tone of voice never seemed to display any emotion, or even preference, even now it sounded like he didn’t care one way or the other

“Enough children” said Lucifer “you may go now Damon, I have had enough of looking at you”

“Cool with me” I said, getting up and walking “I’m out”

I decided to stop into my favourite place in hell before heading back to the earth realm, simply because I was hungry, demon souls were taster and I was able to get more energy from others in my true form. I was lucky the bar wasn’t too far away from Lucifer’s castle, a short walk really. A lot of people seemed to think that just because demon’s had wings, it meant we flew everywhere, but personally, I liked to walk it was nice. Don’t get me wrong though, quite a few demons flew everywhere, but it just wasn’t me.

Finally I entered the bar, and I knew there wasn’t a person in this room who didn’t know who I was, I heard several whispers around me “look, it’s the cursed incubus” said one

“I thought he was dead” said another one “I mean he can’t get energy can he?”

“No no” said a third “he can still go to the earth realm, he just can’t get there physically”

It made me grin hearing all the rumours, some were right, some were wrong, all made me laugh. I was the kind of person who could laugh at myself If I screwed up and boy had I made some screw ups in my life.

As I sat, I was able to feed off all the sexual tension going on between guys flirting with girls, girls flirting with guys and anyone who else who was flirting. It was one of the traits unique to myself, I didn’t need to have sex with others, I could feed on the desire radiating from others around me, within a certain distance anyway.

Within a few hours I was full “guess I should head back” I mumbled to myself “on the plus side, I’ve had enough to be in my physical form” I got up and walked back to my house, where I sat down on the ground my legs crossed “let’s see if I can get you here tonight ruby-rose, I’m running out of time” closing my eyes I moved my soul through the plains of existence and into the physical realm.

When I re-opened my eyes I was in my human form again “not as good, but still pretty nice” I mumbled to myself, that was when I heard voices coming from the room over. One was ruby-rose, I was sure of it, and she sounded in distress, so I walked into the room and said “hey Rosie, you ok you sound….” I stopped then looked about, in the room was her boyfriend, Marcus

“What! What is a male demon in your house!” said Marcus

“D…Damon” said Ruby-rose “what are you doing here!”

“You know this demon!” growled Marcus

“Ooo…. I think I made a boo boo” I said, a grin on my face, hopefully I could use this to my advantage, and finally bring ruby-rose to hell.
