Preface;
The devil and the devil. Happy couple, no? But what happens when they are able to take over the world? Sound like a happy couple now? Will Heaven be able to save the world? Or are we all doomed to a world of hell?
Chapter 1; Raging Fire
This damn cold, pit of hell. You'd think it would be warm in hell, but no, it's dam cold, even with the raging fires. Yes I live in hell, not heaven but hell. Why I'm here? I honestly have no clue. I was just sent here by god. God sent me here, with no mercy. He listened to everyone else, but I was just summoned here.
I waited patiently behind an older man with a few pieces of grey hair left on his head. His scalp was dry; I could see flakes of skin peeling off. He was frail, extremely frail. His weak bones couldn't hold his weight up. But what weight? He was skinny; I could tell where his bones began and where they ended. He looked to have been at least 85. A small part in my heart, felt bad for the guy. A part of me said 'help him' while the other said 'just leave him alone'.
There we go again the classic tale of the Angel and the Devil. Or should I say the underworld and the Angel. The underworld; like devils but more powerful, theirs the ones that supposedly 'poof' on your shoulder. Devil's like I am not that bad. We can be caring. Well except the king himself or what I like to call him the, 'royal pain in my ass'.
He's abusive to both sexes alike. But it's different torture, Men; a good beating Women; sexual abuse, and he makes you act like you like it. Or so I am told. I personally never experienced it, and I'm lucky. Apparently he casts some kind of spell, like I said I've never experienced it. Nor do I wish to. But things can change.
"Alexandra?" I voice called from behind me, causing me to jump.
I spun around in a slightly defensive form.
"I mean no harm, the King wishes to see you" A pittie young man said.
I nodded. He gestured for me to follow him. I did so. We walked in complete silence. The only sounds were my hand running against the rough stone, and the sound of fabric swishing together. I followed, closely behind. Outside I may look like it was the smallest thing in the world, the fact I'm going to see the 'king', but inside I was freaking out!! I had to take slow labored breathes. The really only concern is that I was posibly going to lose my virginity to a 2305 year old. My heart began to race. I focused on breathing in and out slowly.
"Do you have any idea why he wants to see me?" I said finally breaking the silence.
The guy didn't respond.
"Do you have a name?" I asked.
Still no answer. Could this guy at least answer that simple question?
"I'll name you myself if you don't tell me your name" I warned.
He didn't budge. Jeez!! Fine I'm going to name him....Joshua.
"Joshua" I mumbled testing it out on my lips.
Perfect, it fit him.
"This is his room" Joshua said as he left me there in front of the door. I could tell it was made from maple wood, it had a distinct smell. And the grain in the wood has a particular pattern. It almost makes a small maple leaf in the bottom left corner. But only visible to the trained eye. But no time to go into that story.
I slowly opened the door. Here goes anything, literally.
As soon as I came into full view... "Ah! My darling have a seat, or stand if you wish" He cooed.
Even though the guy was 2305 years old, he was 'hot'. I couldn't believe I thought like that. There in front of me was the 'king' the most powerful person in our world. I studied his every movement, as I stood at least 4 feet from him. I felt as if I was being pulled towards him. I wouldn't mind it though. But my mind won over my body 'mind over matter', just barely. He was shirtless, a perfectly sculpted 8 pack. His eyes were the softest colour of blue. Like an ocean, of clam waves.
"I guess you are curious as to why you are here" He smiled a devilish smile as he took on step closer. I knew he could sense my restraint, but he knew he was winning. Winning what? I felt like there was something I needed to remember. But what?
I nodded, afraid I may say something that I didn't wish to.
"I have a feeling your confused, tell me why" He smiled politely.
I gulped, but obeyed, "Why have you requested me?" I said making my voice like velvet but deadly. I doubt I stand a chance with him though.
He chuckled lightly. "I have been following you for a while now, you interest me, and something about you makes me smile" A bigger smile played on his lips, "Yes, she'd be perfect for the job..."? He mumbled to himself.
I didn't like the sound of things so far........
