Chapter 16

            

"Awe!" Emma pokes her lip out like a toddler. "Why the sad faces? You all should be very happy to see me." She smiles. "Well, those two anyway." She points at the twins.

"Why would we be happy to see you?" Mae asks.

Emma grabs her chest and grunts. "Stab to the heart!" She dramatically says. "I was hoping you two would remember me."

"Who are we to you?" Jaley asks, gripping Mae's arm.

"Well, you guys are basically my step-daughters or decadents as some would call it." She rolls her eyes. "See, I'm Emma. Emma as in ruler of hell. As in, next in line to be the Devil's little wife."

"Satan is the ruler of hell." Damien argues. "You're lying."

"No. She's not." Mae says, everyone snaps their heads at her. "Although Satan is the head of Hell, he's not the ruler. He is basically just the king who sits at his throne and does nothing. Emma, rules it. It's been that way since Jaley and I became Vampires and lived in the underworld for a while."

"Exactly, and I get no credit." She winks at Mae. "But that's going to change. I am going to become queen, ruler, master, whatever you would like to refer to me as. I will overrule Satan."

"So why do you need Zinn?" Dugger asks.

"She's the strongest vessel."

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

She sighs and sits down on the edge of Mae's bed. "I do not own a vessel. I am just a spirit walking around. However, I need a body to possess in order to complete my goal to kill Satan and then... other things."

"So, you want to possess me and fight a battle?"

"Not necessarily." She continues. "I have to create an army."

"An army of werewolves?" Damien asks.

"No!" She glares at him. "An army of my own."

"Like, kids?"

"Exactly!" She giggles. "I need you to carry my children for me. I cannot do it because I am nothing but air. Sort of."

"Hell no!" I yell. "Why don't you get some other demonic thing to do it? Like, Jaley!"

"You're the only Supernatural creature that is invincible, but still ages; therefore, grows. Your body is constantly changing like a human, but you're much stronger." She moves closer to me. "With you, I know my children will be safe."

"I'm not doing that." I tell her. 

She closes her eyes and sighs. "Zinnia,"

"NO!" I scream.

She inhales deeply. "You can either do this by choice or by force!"

"I'm not doing it either way!" She glares at me for a moment before her eyes begin to turn completely red. Her body begins to become unbearably hot as she places her hand on my chest.

"I will only heat up more. Then, your heart will become ash." She threatens. "Say yes, or you'll just turn to dust like the rest of your family."

"What?" What did she just say?

"Honey," I hear a sweet voice call from behind Emma. "let the poor child go."

Emma squints her eyes at me, then snaps her head back. A petite girl enters the room with hair almost white that it is so blonde. It flips out just above her shoulders and frames her small face. Her eyes were silver and almost glowing.
