Chapter Four

Alyx

I woke up to the rhythm of someone walking. I opened my eyes and saw my hands tied with rope and my head was dangerously close to the ground.

"Master will be so happy I have captured you." The demon sang to himself.

My head throbbed.

Where was I?

That's when I heard the familiar roar of fire and the whimpers of the hell hounds.

Third time here in the space of a week.

I wiggled slightly, the demon having a death grip on me. I sighed and twiddled my thumbs.

"Who is your master?" I asked. There was silence for a while except for the footsteps hitting the floor.

"You know him. Don't you worry." The demon spoke.

"I'm really sorry to be a pain, but is there anywhere I can use the bathroom?" I asked. "I don't know how long it's been but travelling makes me need to go..."

"I don't see why he wants you, you're annoying." The demon muttered.

You see, Hell was rather like earth in its self. There were pubs, malls, inns, houses and even parks.

"Yeah. I'll take you back to my place, it will be another minute or so." He muttered and I nodded laying on his shoulder wrapped in a shower curtain.

I'm sure that the demon was getting weird looks off of the other demons who were traveling past him.

I hummed quietly to myself until I heard a door unlock and I was set on a cold stone floor. The demon grabbed my arm and dragged me up a set of stairs and brought me to the bathroom.

"I'll wait outside." He muttered shutting the door as he left.

I went the toilet and flushed before snapping my fingers and being dressed into a black vest top, shorts and a leather jacket with heeled boots.

I ruffled my hair before opening the door slightly, my hands still tied.

"Let's continue our journey." He spoke and dragged me down the stairs and out onto the streets of hell.

It was silent until I 'tripped' and fell. I made sure to scrape my knee across the floor to draw blood.

"You're annoying and clumsy. What does he see in you?" The demon muttered to himself.

"I don't know. But if I were you I'd run to your house and barricade yourself in." I whispered letting my eyes change black. His eyes widened. I let out a sharp inhale before I pulled my wrists apart the rope snapping cleanly into two. "My blood lingers in the air, and do you know what blood attracts? Vampires."

He let out a squeak of terror before he started to drag me faster.

I swiped my leg into his and watched as he fell. It became a full on wrestling match until I was pinned underneath the male.

"You're weak, annoying, pathetic and clumsy." He seethed his own eyes black.

"Are you sure about that? Clumsy, yes I know that for a fact. But the other things not so much because..."

"I suggest you get off of her now." A voice growled. The demon turned and saw Ashton there with the girl beside him. The girl spread out her arms and wings as white as Mercy's sprung out. Her eyes went a bright white. "My friend here was god's personal weapon. She doesn't have to move an inch to kill you."

With that the demon let go of me and ran away. I laid on the floor.

"Thank you." I smiled forgetting my eyes were still black.

"It's no problem." Ashton spoke looking me in the eyes. "Now about your eyes..."

"Mum!" Luna yelled as she jumped over Ashton and landed in front of me. "You need to get away from here now. I heard about the conversation about the master wanting you. He's here!"

"Don't be thinking you can get away so fast." Ashton smirked his eyes changing black. "You fell for our little party trick, how foolish. Now, I wonder if you'll come with me if I threaten her." He gestured towards Luna.
