I wake up feeing extremely hot. Sweating so much my clothes cling to my body like how a shy child clings to their mothers legs. I open my eyes to find myself  laying on my back on a soft bed, covered with an extremely large white and blue striped blanket. I look at the fur for a few seconds wondering where the flying fuck an animal with fur like that is from. The ceiling is extremely high, probably to accommodate for all those huge beasts that lurk around this world. A grand crystal chandelier hangs down in the centre of the room, light from the blue fire catches the crystals casting beautiful yet haunting shadows around the large room. The room has multiple doors leading to unknown places, I guess one could be a bathroom, the other a wardrobe and another must lead into the hall but the one I wanted to explore is the glass ones that lead to a balcony.

I slide out the bed, my naked feet slapping the uncarpeted marble floor noisy and I stroll to the doors. My hands turn the orange key that sticks out one of the doors then I push them open gently. A gust of hot air slaps me as I step out on to the large balcony, two chairs facing a octagonal table stands in the corner and a row of purple flowers line the railing. I walk closer to the edge, my hands gripping the white rails and I look over the side. I've never had too much of an issue with heights but when I saw how high I was my stomach flipped and I fell into a crouching position, still gripping onto the rails as my breath quickens.

I'm miles off the ground. Somewhere at the top of a tower. My head slowly stops spinning and I manage to stand again, the ground floor looks miles off little people march in groups below me, although I'm sure they aren't actually that little up close.

They all wear the same uniforms and march in perfect time, listening to orders being shouted by an unknown male in an unknown language.

'I wonder what they're guarding' I think to myself. 'Could it be me?'.

I shake my head of the thoughts and walk back into the bedroom. I notice a hope chest covered in a strange yellow lather, I walk to it and open it curiously, this is the only piece of furniture in the room the other being the bed. In it lays stacks of clothes, all long graceful dresses that anyone would feel lucky to wear. I pull out a midnight blue gown which has beautiful sparkling thread running though the material and I instantly fall in love with it. I'm wearing it. I don't know or care who it belongs too, its mine now.

I go on a bathroom hunt and it doesn't take me long to find one. A grand bathroom at that. I run myself a bath in the large vintage tub adding various liquids into it, they all had strange names and no directions or ingredients listed on the bottles, they're just glass bottles with a single word on them; 'SLEEP', 'ENERGIZED', 'CALM', 'HEAL' etc. I shrug and pour in a dollop of 'RELAX' into the tub, it turns the water into a constantly shifting galaxy. I strip and slid in, the waters a little hotter then I would usually have but I find it oddly soothing.

I body relaxes in a way it only does when Blake is around. I sigh with bliss wondering if I'll ever be able to force myself out of the abyss of never ending comfort.

I met my father. He's some sort of king of some sort of hell. I am yet to know how to feel about this situation.

I lay in the beautiful scented bath until my legs go numb, at that point I hop out and watch in shock as my body and hair instantly dries. I slip on the dress and check myself out in a mirror that takes up a whole wall. I look good. Weirdly good. My acne scars have fading and my eyes look bigger. I shake my head and walk back into the bedroom.

'What now?' I ponder.

I've avoided trying to call for help for long enough. I just don't want to see him again... I don't want to know what he'll do to me. Lucifer. My father is Lucifer. Who knows what he will want to do with me.

I walk to the biggest door in the room, assuming that's my exit and open it. I'm surprised that its not locked, he must trust me. I'm confronted by a swirling stair way that looks as if it never ends. I sigh and go to step out the room but before my foot even touched the floor outside two crystal staphs cross in front of me cutting my step short. I yelp and jump back slightly in shock. I guess I'm not trusted...

Two men dressed in matching uniforms peer in at me with grey eyes.

'...I've been left alone with monsters...' I internally panic.

"His magistracy will be up shortly. He has ordered that you do not leave your room." Says one of the tall skinny men in a thick American accent.

I slam the door closed and run back to the bed, breathing heavily. I cover myself with the hot blanket as I start to fully panic.

'Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck" I repeat in my head over and over.

I have no where to hide.

"Scarlet?" I hear him ask from the foot of the bed. I didn't even hear him enter...
