Alter Egos - The Devil's Ego

Chapter 8- An Eventful Build Up

Ghost's POV:

I go with dad (Lucifer) as we descend through the floor. Like I said I have a funny feeling I know where we are going. I'm going back to my first dark home! Hell!

"Uh Dad. Why are we going to Hell?! Surely if Shadow is alive he wouldn't be down here!" I ask.

"We are going to Hell because he is there. What if I told you I am trying to save him?" He then replies.

"Bullshit! You've hated him since day 1!" I then reply sharply.

"Are you disrespecting your father girl?! And I've never hated him! Remember the time I first knew he was your husband?! I said you picked well!" He then replies.

"No. I'm not disrespecting you! I'm literally making a statement that I don't believe you. And that. Was the best acting I think I have ever see a demon do. You tried really hard to make sure everyone believed you!" I then reply as we reach the bottom floor of Hell. I don't really call this home because my father left me when I was really young!

"So where is Shadow then?!" I ask demanding to know the knowledge of his whereabouts.

"He is this way." He replied. I followed to try and see if he was telling the truth. He lead me past room after room until we reached the hospital wing.

There was only one problem. We went through the hospital wing without even stopping. And that... Well that bugged me massively. Because surely if he was here he would be in the hospital wing. Now I'm starting to doubt my decision.

We then reach another set of rooms in which he opens the door to one of them. Allows me in. Then shuts the door behind me and locks it!

"YOU BASTARD! LET ME OUT NOW! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE THAT! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE YOU ARE DEAD LUCIFER! YOU HEAR ME I WILL KILL YOU!" I shout back through the door before he replied.

"Oh really. Good luck with that my Daughter! And don't worry about your precious husband he will soon be here. I will see to you when he does!" He replies beginning to laugh.

I cant believe i fell for it. Now I still don't know where Shadow is and for even better measure. I'm now locked in a room by my own father! There must be a way out. Problem is. I don't know this place as well as I need to know it. Because to be fair. I haven't been in here for God knows how many years. I scout the room looking for even the smallest way of escape. I cant believe my father would do this to me! Oh hang on. Let me rephrase that. I can believe that my father would do this to me!

I just can't believe that I fell for it. I should ha e seen it coming!

Shadow's POV:

The door opens and I see some light since Decker's windows were blacked out so I couldn't see where we were going. I step out and I vaguely recognise the place. But... I can't put my finger on it. Crimson red. Fire. Nope. Still don't know!

"Follow me." Decker bluntly says.

She begins to lead off somewhere else. I decide to follow her in the knowledge that none if my family nor friends would be hurt.

"What is this place?! Where are we?!" I ask Decker.

"Where are you?! Well there are many places this could be!" She replied cockily.

"You fuckwit! Tell me where I am!" I then say.

"Oh you really want to know?!" She then replies.

"Of course I want to know!" I then shout back at her.

Well then. If you want to know then you better follow me and then the interrogater can deal with you and tell you where you are." She then replied.

"You bitch!" I then cuss back.

She then gave me a look back. Then she decided to speak a few more delightful words.

"You want to know something. Shadow. Ezio. Auditore. Or should I call you. Jordan. Paul. Harding? Would that be any better for your submissive ass! I know who you are. I know exactly what you do. And I also know that everyone you kill. You strike fear into. Well guess what murder boy. You don't scare me. Not even my toes are scared of you. The reason is that your too soft! Your too soft to kill people. Especially ever since you got married! To that.... Shit bag. All you do is spend your life protecting her! Mate she ain't worth it! Sooner or later she is going to dump you for her own kind. Then you will kill yourself in pain and tears! And boy am I gonna so watch that and laugh at you. If it wasn't for your soft spot for your family. You would have killed me by now. If it wasn't for your soft spot for forgiving people and giving second chances you wouldn't be here right now. You sir are just a wimp who acts like a tough guy!" She then explains in great detail.

"Oh yeah. Sure. That's why I've killed many a person. That's why when I was born into this I killed everyone infront of me. And yes. I stick up for and protect my wife because what sort of person would I be if I didn't. I would probably be dead! Now let me go. Or tell me where I am becau..... Beca...be...b.." I... I couldn't finish..... M..my sentence........ I had a rag over my face... And I couldn't.... I was getting.... Drowsy.... CHLOROPHYLL! SHIT, SHIT, SHHH....
