Satan's Ascension

:Chapter 23:

:Isabella:

I couldn't believe I let Derik convince me to go to the pool. Much less Dalton give me the extra push. 'The lengths you go to keep people happy.' 'I could literally turn around and go back to my room and sleep this vacation away until The Gathering.'

Satan rolled his eyes at me. Dalton walked quietly besides me. His hair was damp with little drops of water clinging to his hair desperately before falling on the carpet. My guess was he had already been in the pool. And to believe he had come up to go get me.

'Least he tied your bathing suit.' The most awkward part of my day today. I'd rather do the body disposing then relieve that moment. Least the dead body can't talk back to you and tease you later on in the future. Satan snickered at me.

'I just have this feeling Dalton will tease me about it later on in the future.' 'Ok. Least it's Dalton and not someone else.' 'If he tells someone I will sew his mouth shut.' 'That's one way to keep someone quiet.' The most effective way unless they want to rip stitches out of their mouth which is quite painful.

Dalton pulled up to a pool room and I reluctantly followed in after him. Last time I was in here I was drowning and Alex, tiny Alex brought me back to the surface. Not my best moment in my life. Yet here I was.

"Where's the hot tub?" I asked. "Over there." Dalton said pointing to the hot tub. Thank Satan it was open and no one was in it. No creepy old men or anything. 'Some of those old men end up in hell for serious crimes that I shall not tell you.' I didn't even want to be told.

Dalton smiled as I walked over to it before getting in. It was hot. 'No duh it's a hot tub.' It was also bubbling as I relaxed in. My eyes drifted to Enyr and Lucas who were sitting in the shallow end talking. 

Dalton had gotten into the deep end. He met my gaze and gave me a cheeky smile making me look away as I brought my knees up to my chest as the hot water pushed against me. 'It's nice at least. You also aren't drowning. The hot tub is a step getting you to the pool.'

Mhm. 

Least it was a step. Although I had no desire to go to the deep end of any pool. If it's above my head or even up to my neck count me out. I had no desire to be swimming at all. The werewolves could do it but not me.

The pool just wasn't something I enjoyed doing. Give me a gun and let me shoot something down and I'll do it for hours and hours. But pools, yeah not me. 'What about lakes, ponds and creeks.' 'Still pass. You never know what's lurking in there.' 'Are you scared? What happened to the brave Isabella.' 'I'm not scared I just don't feel the need to go in the water. But look I'm in the hot tub so you can't say anything.' Satan nodded as I stretched back out and brought my hand out of the water and stared at it.

I was getting bored. My gaze shifted over to Ryne who had Caesar and Maryse next to him. No humans could see Maryse unless she desired to be seen or those few freaky humans with the ability to see things they shouldn't see. I've always pitted those humans.

They had no reason to lurk in the supernatural world but they were dragged in against their will. Some of them even went insane. Some joined The Organization after going through strict tests. Those hunters really never leave The Organization after that. I was born into The Organization though. I could of rejected it but I didn't want to.

Still to this day I didn't want to. 'It may be dangerous but you get to protect people who can't protect themselves.' 'And rid the world of dangerous supernatural.' I smiled at that. Not all rogues were killed but forsaken were always killed.

Hunters were required to kill them on sight. Usually it's a kill or be killed situation with forsaken. Forsaken were lost cases. Having gone mad and cannot be healed or be brought back to the vampire side. They were just to be put out of their misery before they killed some more.

The goal was to sneak up behind them and kill them. If it comes down you can go hand to hand combat but melee weapons are recommended. Unless you got really good aim and your gun can shoot fast. I prefer the stealth but I can go hand to hand with them.

Not successful but when I do that Derik or Lucas usually has my back and now my brothers. But we hadn't seen any forsaken lately. But we had a nice sized check coming in. About three thousand and five hundred dollars actually. We all made about a thousand dollars this month.

Usually we make more  but jobs had been low. 'Do you think they will pay you for the demon banshee.' 'Victor pays me for things like that.' Victor had a nice bank account. He even recommended I do what he did when he wasn't retired like he was now.

Put away leftover money in a bank account and do it constantly. Eventually it builds up quite nicely and when you retire you got all that money and you don't have to worry much. That's what I do plus the savings from my parents that they had set up for us.

I put Enyr and Ryne's savings into their. Originally I had gotten it all as I was the last Knight standing. But when my brothers came back from the dead. . . or wild? I opened bank accounts for them and put the savings in. They were old enough to access it I believe.

'You aren't though.' 'I'm not worried. I'm not poor.' But I wasn't rich. But I lived comfortably. I usually could get what I desired, usually. Sometimes other things came from before but I was fine with my living style. Always have been and always will be. 

Soon I got bored and got out before heading to a chair next to Orchid. Orchid threw a towel on me. "Enjoy the hot tub?" Orchid asked. "The most pleasurable thing in this room." I told her as I got on the chair and put the towel around me as Maryse came trotting up.

I patted her head and then she laid down. 'Could Maryse go swimming.' 'I don't know we don't exactly have pools in hell. You know I might install a pool. It'll have lights in it that glow blue and red maybe pink for Lilith. Or I might get her hot tub that glows pink.'

Satan then went on with his list of upgrades he had to do to hell. He was thinking of making hell more snazzy for people. He was even gonna do a door to the damned for the sex demons to go visit the souls in hell.

Apparently Lilith had her sex demons requesting that. And what Lilith says goes. 'When Lilith is happy life is healthier for me.' I bet it is. I leaned back and looked at the pool. Derik was swimming laps to work off his fatness that had been growing. Kidding, just getting daily exercise in.

Probably for he could pig out later since swimming is very intense. From what I have been told you get hungry after as you work off your food when swimming. Most be pleasant to do that. How would I know? My eyes drifted to Dalton who was simply floating in the middle but not on his back.

He smiled at me and I looked away. Andrew looked over at me. "I bought whip cream and jam if your interested. And there are geckos outside." Andrew said. "You know it." I told him with a smirk. Life was good-ish. Pranks and galore. Yeah it was good. For now.

1350. Another chapter graces your presence. Soon I shall be able to make covers again. Hopefully. I am going to be getting an apple laptop since mine is trash and runs way too slow for me to do school work. But I am still using neighbors laptop. But that's all. Until next time Apple flavored marshmallows.
