Chapter 1

Hey, this is my first story on Wattpad, so don't judge. If you don't like it then delete it from your library and don't voice how bad this book is. Anyway, enjoy. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I enjoy writing it.

Once on a sunny day a girl who found love couldn't have it...well not for the whole year anyway.

It all started a long time ago when your great-great-great-great grandparents may have been babies, or even longer than that, when God and the Devil where creating a war, when witches where the council. Well it all started with the greatest of friends, doesn't it always? The Devil and God made a pretty good team, they worker together and lead the people, kept peace when there were arguments, and then when everyone went to sleep; God, whose name was actually Lucas however Lucifer was the only one who had the pleasure of knowing this name and using it. When they were left alone, their laughter rang louder than anything and it was hard not to smile when anyone heard it.

One day Lucifer had an idea, his idea was that people work, he wanted what we now know as jobs, work hard, play hard, don't work hard and be miserable. God didn't agree with what Lucifer was planning so slowly their friendship was ruined and as quick as lightning competition set in.

As the competition grew stronger, the hatred between the two friends grew more hateful, God made a cunning plan in the dead of the night. 

The next day he gathered everyone around the main place where meetings took place and he told the people that they have to choose between himself and Lucifer. The speech that he gave was planned so that people though that Lucifer was bad as he mentioned working, the people not knowing what that even is were convinced that Lucifer which they renamed the Devil was evil. So in the end the people chose God as he promised no work. 

Lucifer felt lost and angry that his idea was so easily hated on and the people would just like that turn on him after he showed then nothing but respect and was their friend. He was lost in his rage and he turned cold, bitterness took his soul as he was banished to the other side of the world. What he thought of the people that he adored, he came to the conclusion that they were cruel on purpose to him, so he stopped caring and decided that no matter what he won't be hurt like this again.

For you to understand what is happening I must tell you a little story, a story that when God, Lucifer and the witches made the world they made a prison, a part of the land known as the bad side of the world where all the bad people, that God and Lucifer deemed unworthy of the land that they lived in, where send after they committed one of the deadly sins, Lucifer took the job to design this place and he was very clever, so smart that when he made the place he made sure that there was a way to survive even though it was in very bad conditions. He made sure that the land could be altered to make it intolerable if needed. Upon arriving, he noticed that is what the people have done.

They made the place as cold as ice, I swear to you as you walk in you can taste the evil but it doesn't come from Lucifer. It comes from the people, a higher force than God, it was free will. The people send Lucifer, a person that they once looked up to and adored into a barren and cold land just because he had an idea that could change everything. The people got scared and they banished him, he still couldn't think about this betrayal without feeling a pang in him heart. As the people chose the abandoned, hostile place and filled it with evil so that it matched the Lucifer that they send there. 

Lucifer made a pact with the creatures living on the other side of the world, he gives them a leader and asked them to give him nothing. The creatures day by day moved out to live somewhere else as Lucifer's bitterness was driving the place to insanity, Lucifer himself only went deeper into his despair. Until only one servant was left, the messenger who daily went out to spy on the people from the other side and then bring news to Lucifer. One day he came back to give Lucifer the report he said, "They are getting on great and li-" he couldn't finish his sentence as his master was burning with anger, magic that he had was making the air around him to catch on fire, which simmered and Lucifer shouted, "Why are they getting on better than we?"

"Maybe because we haven't got any people? It's only me and you." the servant answered timidly, scared of his masters reactions.

The devil replied with relief but his voice still hoarse and bitter, "You are a genius, we just need people to willing come to our desolate, ice covered cosy land," with that a grin became a scowl as he realised the gravity of the situation with that he began to write, on a leaf, with blood from a fish he ate and a feather from a bird. He wrote:

Dear people of Goodness,

I have some very sad news for you, your King is not what he seems. I feel terrible but you have to run away, I will meet you in the forest by the oldest tree. Don't worry I have a piece of land big enough for everyone. Please hurry up. I will wait for you tomorrow at sundown.

Yours Sincerely,

A friend

He copied this letter a few times and having learned magic. Magic he learned from the witches, one witch who believed in what he did but she never admitted to this or she would have been send to the bad side. She taught Lucifer simple spells from a book, Lucifer having nothing better to do in the deserted land, learned them quickly and then added him personal touches to the spells and designed new ones. This gave him a lot of power so when he wrote the letters he added as much persuasion magic into his writing as he could, he then told the servant to give them to as many people as he sees. Happy with his plan he went to the oldest tree and set up a trap, a cage of sorts to capture the people.

The next day at sunset, he was there like he said at the tree where the town gathered. When he approached he raised his hand and smiled, "Welcome," he said, "I must say free will is a bitch and it must be taken away. Now you are prisoners in my land, the land you made for me, you wanted to blame someone before, you can't blame me now, blame yourselves. And of course welcome to your new home, a prison you made it, a prison it will be." He laughed madly as the cage set around the people, his people now.

The people were terrified of what he had become, everyone had the same question in their head. Did he go insane? When they arrived he said, "If you stay with me without rebellion or trying to run away I will spare your lives for later. If you try to run then I am very sorry but an example of the person will be made. I hope we can get along, it was so long since I spoke to so many people. Wow. OK, you can get unpacked. I'll see you all later."
