The Awakening

Chapter 10 -Delana

"Why don't you have a seat Miss Hail. We have much to discuss." The guard next to my brother got up and pulled out my chair for me. Ean looked confused by the action, I was just plain shocked. Especially when the guard bowed to me then waited to take his seat til' I sat down. "What all do we have to discuss? And do you have a real name or am I just supposed to keep calling you Boss?" He smiled at me. "You may call me Satan. Or Lucifer. Whichever suits you most. I hope you have found your room to your liking?" I was very confused by his actions. If he is Satan, as he claims, then shouldn't he be evil? I mean he is the devil himself.

"Yes it is to my liking. Although it is a bit dreary. Everything is either black or gray. It's unnerving." Satan gave me a look, then replaced it with a smile before anyone else could notice. "Well we can discuss how to fix that problem later, deary. We have other buisness to attend to right now."

Is it like I'm invisible to everyone?

You're not invisible to me Ean.

Thanks Deli...

Welcome squirt.

Ean gave me a look and I giggled. "Miss Hail? Mr.Hail? Am I interrupting something?" Ean stiffened and turned away. "No sir. I'm sorry sir."

Are you ok?

Will discuss later.

Now I'm nervous. "Sorry Satan. As you were saying?" He eyed me curiously before continuing on. "As I was saying... You will need to stay here with me and my guards if we are to protect you from the dangers of the world." I snorted-not one of my attractive qualities. "We are to trust you? Really? You're Satan! I want nothing to do with you. You are the embodiment of evil! Why would we want to stay with you and your guards?!" Satan did not take that very well...

"Eaverybody out! Guards! Take the boy. You know what to do. I want a moment alone with Miss Hail." The guards grabbed my brother and hauled him out of the room, and Satan stopped me from stopping them. Once everyone was out of the room he shoved me out the door, down the hall, and into another room.

     This room had screens everywhere. Only a few were on but the scenes on them were not pretty. Ean was on the one in the middle. He was being strapped down to a chair. They guards blocked the door like he could get out. Then a woman came in with a needle.

     She injected my brother with something that knocked him out instantly. "What are you doing to him!" Satan grabbed my arm and yanked me into a chair at the back of the room. I didn't notice but this room also had a camera, and it was on... "You will shut up. Don't you ever speak to me like that! I own you and your brother now! You will do as I say, when I say it! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!" I swallowed hard.

"Yes."

"Yes what?!"

"Yes, Sir."

"Good girl. Now, your brother is currently being taken into one of my cells, in Hell." He smiled at my horrified expression. "He will stay there until you cooperate. Do you understand?" I nodded.

"Good. You will start training tomorrow. Training for what you may ask? Well if you had payed attention in my office you would have known that." He gave me a knowing look. "You will be training to become one of my guards. Except you will have a different task than most. You, and Ryan, will be sent to collect some people for me. And if you protest well..." Satan went back to the cameras and switched the screen. The scene on it was horrifying! Ean was silently screaming! I don't know what is causing the pain but its killing him! "Stop! Please stop! I'll do everything you ask of me just stop hurting him please!" I began to cry. I didn't want to cry in front of Satan. That is weak of me. But that is my brother he is hurting!!

"Very well." Ean stopped screamig and I could see shining on his cheeks and in his eyes. I whimpered a little. "There, there. He will be fine. So long as you obey." He smiled at me, and it was creepy. "Obey? I'm not a dog dammit!" His smile now looked satisfied. This time instead of hurting my brother, he hurt me.

     He pulled out a knife I didn't know he had, and started dragging the knife painfully down my starting at my shoulder and down. I sreamed as he slowly kept dragging until he reached my wrist. "You will obey me Delana. Or there will be more where that came from. And I will personally inflict every bit of pain. Do you understand?" I looked away from my arm, away from him. I wasn't going to submit easily. He could hurt me all he wanted, as long as he doesn't touch Ean.

"So be it." He smiled sardonicly.
