Demons

Chapter 2 Raven

"Which innocent soul is that poor excuse of a retriever going to take this time?" Raven scoffed, brow furrowed in a disapproving manner as she clenched her jaw. She never liked her father taking complete innocent souls just for the sake of his power, even when she knew he needed it to survive, but she felt like there had to be another way. "Oh c'mon dear, don't be like that. Axel is simply doing his job, you can't blame him for that." Azazel tutted, his eyes focused on the small cloud of mist hovering a few feet above the ground in front of him, showing a moving image of Axel entering the room of a young girl. Raven rolled her eyes at her father's comment, "But I can blame you." She murmured underneath her breath, her hand supporting her head in a lousy manner, elbow resting on the armrest of her throne. Azazel looked over in Raven's direction, eyebrows raised, "What was that, dear?" Raven didn't bother to reply, but instead focused her eyes on the mist, now showing Axel hovering above a girl with black hair and pale skin. Raven looked back over to her father who had his eyes focused on the mist as well, a small glint in his eyes. Raven didn't recognize the look on her father's face, feeling like a completely new emotion had fallen over him. "Now let's make ourselves presentable, shall we? We'll be meeting our new soul soon enough." Azazel stood up and started taking his demon form, his human features slowly disappearing. Metal started growing out of every orifice possible as he took about twice the size of his human form, red sparks of fire showing through some of the gaps in his chest. Just as Azazel had completely taken his demon form, the door to the castle opened.
