The Devils Child

Chapter 1

My dad died. Well actually died probably wouldn't be the right word, more like ended as we don't really die. My kind is kind of like the royal family we only breed within ourselves or sometimes with the children of hades. My father was the devil and now he has passed his duties on to me, the oldest son. My name is Karn and my dad planned for me to marry Saeda hades daughter. The thing is that I don't even know who she is. You see the problem is most devil or daemons when we reach our growth spurt we grow quite a lot, meaning we become giants. My dad was normal size, well normal size for a devil, while my mum is well a midget, the same size as a human adult, this means that it would be very unlikely for me to be a midget and I will become normal

"Ouch, who just shot me? Whoever it is you should know that that's not enough to kill me." As I turned around I saw my younger brother and all his friends with guns aimed towards my chest."Castor, why did you shoot me? Didn't dad tell you not to play with guns?"

"Actually he said play with them as much as you want."

Typical dad. "Well although playing with guns is fun there are some people I don't want to see hurt so just make sure you don't murder any of my friends."

"But aren't all your friends' immortal?"

"Well yes but not all of them. What were you shooting at me for anyway?"

"Oh we just needed some target practice." Just then all his friends started laughing.

"I don't see what's so funny. Oh and just for the record I am not to be used as target practice. Now run along somewhere else with your little friends and don't bother me. I have to go home and sort out this big mess that has erupted. You're lucky you're not in charge."

This is me trapped in the underworld not able to see the real world. Dad seems to think that it's "too dangerous for a girl my age" but I'm nearly sixteen, I'm not a baby anymore. My dad Hades is just so annoying, he set me up with the devils son Karn and I don't even know him let alone like him so why does my dad think I will marry him. Apparently he is a lot like me and my brother but I don't see how that makes a difference.

"Saeda, where are you" my brother called.

"In my room where I always am. You know dad doesn't let me out." Oh great here comes my brother.

"Saeda I need to tell you something!"

"Don't just barge into my room! You know I hate that."

"Sorry. I needed to tell you I accidently dropped your homework in the river. Oops"

"Satan!"

"Sorry."

"Oh great, now I have to start again thanks to you. Now get out!" I added silently, and don't slam the door!

"Saeda, get done here now!"

"Coming dad" my dad is always bossing me around and getting me to do his jobs. Apparantly it's 'to prepare for when I have a place of my own but I already know how to do this stuff and don't need continuos lecturing.

"What is it this time dad? Not another chore I hope." He laughed at that, " because you know how much I hate doing all your jobs. It seems as if I have already taken over."

" No darling I'm not going to ask you to do anymore jobs, although you do have a lot to catch up on, I got you to come because your mother has something important to tell you."

" What is it" I said with annoyance obviously showing in my voice. Seeing my brother crying I ran towards him and asked what was wrong.

" Mum will tell you, I can't bear to say it." He said his face covered in tears. Slowly I walked towards where mum was sitting, dread riseing in my throat.

" Darling come here." she said beckoning me to come closer. " I don't know how to tell you this," she said with a croak in her voice that told me she had been crying. " It's about dad. He's time is almost over." She said breaking into tears again.

" What do you mean he's time is almost over?" I said hoping what I thought it meant was not right.

" It means he doesn't have much time to live. Soon he will go and you will be left to take over as you are my oldest child."

" Why are you telling me this?" I asked tears welling in my eyes.

" Because your dad doesn't doesn't know this. If he did then who knows what would happen to our reality. If he try's to avoid his ending bad things will happen."

" I hate this!" I said running out towards the gates. I had to escape from this living hell I couldn't bear to be here knowing that my own dad would die soon. And making it even worse was the fact that he didn't know it himself and I couldn't tell him. I ran towards the opening that would lead me outside. As I ran I became scared if I left what would it be like out there, would it be dangourous like my dad had always said or would it be the world I been dreaming of all my life. I would soon find out running from my mother who was screaming for me to return but I was fixed on the world I was about to enter.
