How I Married The Prince Of Hell Ch.16

Chapter XVI: True Heir Of Blood

Rayne has finally reconcile with his father and hopefully there won't be so much blood shed if only Satan can lift the banishment contract and allow him back into the kingdom he was shun from, and his ticket back is Viviana who should have the same blood. Only that Viviana is gone and so is Kale, and seeing as how Queen Viviana is both a mother and sister to his father and they have equal power it will be enough to break the contract and lift his forever ending Punishment. But first he must find her before Solomon finds out she is gone, and try and kill her for the power she possess over the Angels and the Demons.

"Father do you recognize that place?" my father looked grim, "yes that is indeed the Catacombs...your brother's soul rest on the other side of that door..." I looked at the image the door was surely reinforced with magic and it felt menacing. "Lord Rayne, Lord Satan what do you plan on doing?" Scarlet and Azure had already separated and stared at me and father, "take us to the Catacombs...we need to get there before Kale releases Reizel's soul from his deep sleep." The dragons began to cross and wrap around us until I only saw darkness and then I felt like I got spit out, I hit the floor and I could taste the dust but it was so dark I couldn't see my own hands in front of me. "Are you alright son?" I nodded but what was the point the darkness was so thick I doubt my father saw it, but as soon as he whispered something in a language that I didn't know the lights flickered and blue purplish flames emerged on either side. "Let's find Viviana before your brother wakes up," I noticed the narrow hall we were in and it really did look like a prison there were skeletons hanging on the walls or in little crevices. "If your wondering why this looks like a prison its because of Viviana," I began to wonder what he meant, "a long time ago 13 demons tried to overtake Hell's throne from me...Viviana appeared once again and saved me and she imprisoned all 13 here in the catacombs its a prison for the dead and corrupted souls." I then thought it made sense all those years ago how she suddenly appeared, "she always shows up at the right moment doesn't she father." He smiled but didn't say anything and kept walking, "how far down must we walk to get to Reizel's tomb?" He looked at me and smiled, "don't worry we are close I can feel it but to be careful, keep your eyes open some of the dead still have enough power to hurt us." And just as we rounded the corner we saw a bloody hand and we stopped my father put out his hand to prevent me from walking ahead, and then we saw him. "Lucifer!" my father ran to Lucifer and he looked badly hurt, "Lucifer what happened to you?" he had his eyes closed and father started to heal him and slowly he opened his eyes, "YOU!...What is he doing here Lord Satan." His eyes were that bloody red because he was beyond mad and I didn't blame him, it was going to take some time to convince him I'm not mad at my father or Viviana. "Calm down my son...Rayne is on our side he is going to help us save Viviana from Kale," Lucifer looked at father, "from Kale?" my father nodded and looked at me slightly before he turned his attention back to the hall Lucifer had came from. "Who did this to you Lucifer?" he looked at me and laughed, "as if you cared big brother..." he clutched his ribs and hissed in pain, "how could you not know Rayne they are all your accomplices." I didn't think Zedrick would beat the hell out of him, "it wasn't Zedrick...it was Michael..." I began to wonder Michael? but there was no way Michael was with Solomon. "Tell us what happened that way I can see if it was really Michael because he was with me and Solomon before father showed up to take Viviana," he leaned against the wall and father began to heal some broken ribs.

POV: Lucifer/ Luce

Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip "Hey King of Hell how long are you planning on sleeping?" I heard the voice but it was dark and the voice felt like it was far away, "come on Lucifer wake up!" I then felt a surging pain and then a crack. I clutched my stomach so fast that the next blow came to my face, I then began to open my eyes and look around the dimly lit dungeon room I noticed that I no longer felt the cold floor, "how do you like your new room you should enjoy it for maybe about a thousand years before you go crazy and stuff." I couldn't make out the face but I knew it was him, "Michael?...what are you doing here?" he looked around, "are you referring to me...sure I'm Michael," he wasn't making any sense but I was sure it was him. "Lucifer do you know why I'm here?" I shook my head and when I did that I noticed I was chained to the wall that had bloody wings painted on either side. "So you still remember the mark of the forsaken," he smiled so wickedly I thought he might be a devil, "what do you want with me?" he smiled, "you know perfectly well what you took from me!" he practically spat those word out. "You know what Gabriel and Rafael would say if they saw you right now...you spit out the words of Sin," I laughed a little remembering all my brothers, "shut up! I'm not a sinner like you," I was practically destroying him emotionally right now. "That's true your not like me because I'm not the sinner you are the sinner you should have been banished and be forced to rot in this pit...you killed her...you killed her and you killed me!" He punched me again right on my stomach and I heard another crack, "stop saying that I didn't kill her!...I didn't kill her...I loved her so much that you made me Kill her." I smiled, "jealousy is such a bad thing Michael...its a deadly sin don't you think and either way you killed her when you knew that I only loved the girl from my memory, I only loved Viviana." With that Michael stood quiet, "but Cecil loved you..." he was calming down, "I knew but I couldn't see her as anything more than a sister," he fell to the floor and screamed for a really long time in pain. I then took the opportunity to look around and I noticed my clothes were just rags I wasn't wearing any shoes I could see my stomach was bruised, and Michael was wearing a black cape to hide himself from God. "You killed Cecil didn't you?" he didn't look up at me but nodded and I knew then how he had tricked me, "when you described the girl from your dreams I came across a human who resembled her so much and I told you to come with me so I could show you the girl I loved." I knew he was lying but back then I would never have doubted my own brother, "I knew that if I told you that, you would come with me out of curiosity and you did." I remembered that day so well I should have known better Michael has only ever been happy only when Cecil was involved, "I noticed when you saw that human child that your heart began to beat you had already fallen in love with her." Michael had tricked me from the beginning, "after that you began to dig your own grave and the day I had enough with Lucifer or God's right hand I put my plan in action." Michael pulled down his hood and showed me his face, "I called out to Cecil and told her you were in love but her innocent pure heart thought you were in love with her and that's when I crushed any hope she had." So that was how he had killed Cecil, "after that I met Solomon or in this case my other self and he gave me a shadow so I was able to look like you and have witnesses testify they saw you there." I was so mad I could kill him, "but why kill Cecil she was your fiancée I could only love Viviana!" he laughed and his laughter echoed throughout the cave. "Your wrong! You always take the people I love...God, Cecil, and Vivian...I came to love her as well just like Solomon had loved her all those years ago along with Satan...Viviana has been the cause of our hate and rivalry since the beginning." And Michael was right she was the cause of all our grief but Viviana was my wife and I loved her... "Wait! Did you just say you loved Vivian?...What does Vivian have to do with any of this?" Michael smiled, "are you really stupid Lucifer have you forgotten the shocking revelation of Viviana being Vivian...by that look your showing me I take it you did forget." It then hit me I had found out the truth before Zedrick knocked me out and it was at that time that I realized that Zedrick hated Viviana, but I wonder why if they didn't know each other. "What are you thinking about Lucifer?" I smiled, "nothing that concerns you Michael I have other enemies besides you...but out of all of them your less of a threat to me considering your such a coward." It was enough with the insults to get him mad enough to try and land a deadly blow at me that I would use against him to break the chains, and I was right that was what he did and he cut thru the chain that restrained my hands. I then broke the other chain and while he was blinded by fury I wrapped the chains around his neck and body holding him in place until he fell to the floor squirming like a worm. That is until his wings broke thru the metal chains and he was super charged and had his sword for demon battle and I noticed that his wings were stained with blood and so was the tip of the blade. "Michael you killed someone?" I began to dodge each of his blows since I was the one that trained him and practiced with him, "yea I have killed enough that my sword craves more blood," Michael was truly losing himself, "that sword is God's Holy Blade." He laughed, "Yes it is...he gave it to me when you disappointed him...actually you were going to be the Arch Angel Prince Lucifer because everyone loved and respected you." I was taken by surprise and Michael managed to cut me on my right shoulder he was trying to cut my arm off, "why haven't you washed the blood off?" he stopped and looked at me, "this hasn't been able to come off as easily because its not demon blood...its Cecil's blood I killed her with this sword." When he said he killed Cecil with that sword my body no longer cared if it was in pain I wanted to kill Michael no matter what and I would have killed him if only I didn't hear a voice in my head. "Lucifer Stop! Please Stop! Don't kill Michael he is your brother...I promised you that I would be happy with Michael and I was, but I still loved you Lucifer." I touched my head, "Cecil? Cecil! Is that you?" Michael pushed me off while I wasn't paying attention, "Killed Cecil!" I looked at him and his eyes were turning a different dark color they weren't blue, "Michael stop it before its too late if you cross that line there won't be any salvation for you and you will loose your wings like I did." He laughed really loudly, "you didn't loose your wings you still have them I can see them!" That wasn't the strangest thing I believe that Viviana saved me by giving me these wings, "yea but they were the gift I received from Viviana," he laughed almost bitter, "why does she always prefer Lucifer instead of Michael?" I could tell that Michael was loosing his sanity, "please Michael you will make God sad and Cecil who loved you very much," he practically began to crack up in laughter, "yea like God would care...and Cecil?...Cecil isn't even here plus she only married me out of pity." I knew that was true but Michael was falling deeper into that hole that will bury him in a cold dark place, "Michael the place in your heart that is calling you isn't good for you its dark and cold, its just Misery no demon would want to be cursed the same way your cursing yourself." Michael laughed and his laughter chilled my body to the point that his eyes no longer held any life in them, and I came to realize that Solomon's plan had failed he had already doomed all the Michael's from the beginning. I needed to get away from Michael before he tried to kill me, I began to walk around him but every step I took he watched me like a hawk until I was close to the entrance. And closer to Michael it was at that point that I was close enough to look at him and see he had several branded marks all over his body the one's on his hands and forehead glowed a bloody red. But I thought to my self why he had those brands, but I couldn't be bothered by that right now I needed to get out and find Vivian I was going mad not being able to hear her voice or see her, and just as I was close to slipping away Michael grabbed my leg and it burned so badly it was marked onto my ankle like a tattoo. It was so painful that it gave me the strength to pull free of his grasp and put just enough distance between us, it was hard to negotiate with someone who isn't completely sane. "Michael deep down you know you don't want this Solomon lied to you he's manipulating you so you can become this he wants you to sacrifice yourself so he take down Satan and Viviana." By then Michael's eyes had become black around the white of his eyes and the iris was pure red it looked like he was crying because black tears streamed down his face leaving a mark. All I could do was watch until it became painful and I had to get out of there before Michael fully lost control of whatever he was becoming and I knew deep down that I was going to be the one to end his misery. I took a couple steps but my ankle was burning the heat was running up and down my legs so I was limping until I tripped over a bone that had fell from one of the skeletons hanging on the wall. I just laid there on the floor since I was so tired I just couldn't think and then I heard her voice, "Luce come find me...save me before its too late," The voice seemed to echo in my head and I knew it was Vivian's voice she needed me and I needed her, and that was enough strength to get me off the floor and continue walking. But it was so painful that I just couldn't walk anymore and as I felt weak I heard a voice calling me and I knew that voice but I just couldn't make it since it felt so far away. The touch was warm and familiar, and right away I felt the warmth chase away the darkness and cold feeling of death in my heart for a second I thought I had found Vivian or she had found me, but as I opened my eyes the first face I saw was one that I wish to forget.
