Death's a Bitch REPLACEMENT

Chapter Nineteen: Anger

~~ Ashton's Point Of View ~~

"Revenge" She said her eyes still a bright gold "He wants fucking revenge, for what huh?"
"Death" I trying to say but I was cut off by her ranting.
She paced Lucifer's office, blood from the assistant down her clothes her fist clenching and unclenching as she spoke.
"He wasn't the one who was raised by that twat was he? He didn't have to fear his life every day, or his mothers. He was off getting drunk as fuck then came home to rape his wife while his 10 year old daughter listened"
"He what?" I said in shock
"oh that's not the worst part, the one night I dreamed of being perfect was ruined, I was on my best behaviour all that week to make sure I never got hit, I didn't want a black eye at the dance"
"I relived that memory with you, I didn't see anythi-"
"You relived the 'best' part of the night, the part I wish I could remember without the events after fuelling me with rage"
"What?"
She went silent. Her anger was gone but her fists her still curled up tight, before I could stop myself the words flew out of my mouth.
"What did he do to you?"
"He raped me" she said her voice silent
"What?"
"More than once, I became a recent thing. Mother didn't know, I couldn't tell her. It carried on right up until I..."
She trailed off, the anger returning in a flash
"He gave me no choice but to end it all, I left my mother with that son of a bitch because I was selfish. I killed myself and left her to deal with my loss and his shit"
She had stormed over to Lucifer's desk and kicked it. It hit the wall with a thump, followed by a crack the went right up the wall and through the ceiling.
"And he" she began talking again venom laced through her voice "he wants revenge"

"Death-"
"Don't, just don't. Not right now"
I stood there in silence, anger boiling inside of me I was about to go find Lucifer when he barged through the doors.
"What the fuck did you do to my office" he snapped following the crack as it rose up the wall.
"Don't" she snapped again her voice still full of venom
Lucifer looked at me but I was too lost in my own rage to answer his unasked question.
"Right... okay" Lucifer said breaking the awkward silence "He said he will only talk to Ashton"
"Get fucked" Death snapped instantly
"He won't talk unless it's the boy, I tried torturing him he won't spill"
"your definition of torture is what a four year old would call tag, give me five minutes"
"No" Lucifer snapped
"He's not going down there" She said her eyes beginning to glow again
"I'm not going to send him down there if he doesn't want to but it's our only lead if it is the elders then we have to find out as much as we can"
"I'll go" I said finally putting my own option in the conversation
"Like fuck you are" Death said "I'm not risking anything with you"
"He won't talk if you are there. I don't like the idea either Death but Ashton can handle himself, I mean you taught him"
"Don't you try twist my thoughts, I know what you are doing and it's not working" she said bitterly
"I'm going" I said which caused them both to face me "You don't control what I do, I will be fine he's behind bars"
"N-" I cut her off
"if anything happens I will call out okay"
She looked away death glaring a wall while Lucifer watched her waiting for something almost.
"Get out of my face before I change my mind" she snapped

I left the room and walked down to where they were holding her father. I passed Camael half way, he looked worried.
"I have been asked to return to heaven for a couple of hours, the elders are asking for an update on you."
"Let Death know, I'll go sort him out"
"goodbye kid"
"bye?" I said unsure, it wasn't like Camael to say good bye.
I entered the room where her father sat at the base of his cell right up against the bars.
"I had a feeling they would send you in after growing desperate" he said not even looking in my direction.
"Let's not waste each other's time shall we. Talk" I said simply standing in front of his cell.
"I want to know something first" he said
"Depends what it is" I snapped back
"My daughter, She believes in the bond doesn't she?"
"How would I know, it's your daughter. She hasn't tried anything"
My mind flicked back to the day she kissed me. Would that count as something?
"So she does" he said with a smirk
"how does avoiding me confirm she believes in the bond"
"because she hasn't tried anything with you, she is keeping her distance boy. In reality if you were just a random she would have... how would you put it... She would have fucked you already"
I nearly choked on my spit, I tried to play it cool but he could see right through me.
"The attraction you have towards her is obvious, but over the years she has mastered the art of hiding her emotions, even when I was in her head"
"this is a waste of time" I snapped changing topics "What are the elders planning"
"Can't answer that"
"why?" I snapped
he smirked at me. I could feel my temper beginning to get the best of me but I bit it back, I had to control it for her.

We continued to talk, or more he asked about his daughter's relationship with me and I got barely anything out of him. The only thing I found out was that it actually was the elders, they hated death and they were going to cleanse everything.

I was getting frustrated; I kept getting the same answers I was close to snapping and killing him myself. I faced the wall and tried to calm myself down without him noticing.
"Oh dear boy" his voice said sounding closer "I would watch who you trust"
I spun around to him standing right behind me out of his cell, a sword welded in his hand. Not just any sword, an angel's instrument.
I jumped back but I was too slow. The sword dug into my skin across my stomach.I was laced with something that burnt my whole body; I was instantly knocked down clutching my stomach in pain. Her father gave a laugh and pushed the sword deeper into my body. I let out a scream of pain as black began to fill my vision.
"Thank your bodyguard for this sword, and the key to my cell. Quite a loyal thing he is"
I was gone. My body gave up...
