Hell

New skills to be learned

    "Woman you need to accept the fact the your son is a grown man and can do what he wants when he wants. Him having wine is not the end of the world. I have never seen anyone try to treat their son or daughter like you have when they are fully grown and out of the house. Also you need to remember his house, his rules. He can do whatever he fucking wants to in his own house. You are only here to visit for six fucking months. I am not thrilled about it especially after getting to know you. I can honestly say I rather fucking deal with Patryk and Oscar for six years than have to deal with you for six months. At least they know when to just stop and look at what they are doing once in a great while. Seriously every damn day you have been here you do nothing but yell about everything possible." "YOU LITTLE WHORE. DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW YOU SLEEP WITH HIM AND THAT'S THE REASON HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU!" "For pete's sake get off of that. I mean seriously there is a lot more to mine and Eryk's relationship that just sleeping with each other. Yes I have slept with him before, but not anytime recently. I mean we both are adults that care deeply about each other. If I didn't care for him as much as I do, I would not be fucking here dealing with all of this damn bullshit you put me through. For heaven's sake why do you hate me so much? I have done nothing to you. You started to hate me when we first met and I do not get why. You don't know me or anything about me. You treat your own kids with such strict rules on what they can and can't do with their lives that I am curious to see how far you are going to push them before they are just done. I know how much it pains Eryk to yell at you or not to defend me when you're fucking insult me." I saw Eryk call over Azazel, Jasmine and Lucifer and they brought a piano into his room for some reason. Then Lucifer handed Azazel a bass guitar while he kept the electric guitar. Jasmine sat next to Eryk with synth pad for pads and strings. Lucifer handed Eryk a mike and kept one for himself. All of them were planning something but they were waiting for some reason. "You may not see it but I do. His eyes reveal a lot more about how he feels than he is willing to show. I am so done with your bullshit about how you think I am a whore and think I am only after Eryk for his money. I mean come on you treat me like I am filth. The sooner you can get your goddamn head out of your ass and actually see what you are doing and the men your sons are becoming you will be proud of them. You would even get to see that I am not even close to what you say I am. I mean seriously do you actually think Eryk would keep me or any of us here if he thought or even felt like we were after his money? So open your eyes and pull your head out of your ass and actually look around you for once in your life.." I take a breath and say, " because you might not have anyone there for you except Eryk when you need your family and friends the most. Eryk cares about you and the rest of your family a lot and would do anything for you just to ensure you are okay." They begin to play softly with the Piano and synth pads and strings. "Do you really want Patryk and Oscar or anyone else not to be there for you when you are needing it the most. Hell at one point I would have been there for you too even if you hated me, but not anymore. If you really want people there for you, you need to start seeing everybody for who they are and not what you think they are." Lucifer and Eryk begin to sing in sync with each other. "You don't realize how lucky you really are to have a family who wants to be there for you and is willing to be there for you. I would love to have a family like that, but I don't." "WHY ARE YOU SINGING THAT HORRIBLE SONG!" His mom yells as she walks over to stop him but Lucifer walks in her way and blocks her as both him and Eryk continue to sing Hall of Fame. "STOP SINGING THAT SONG IMMEDIATELY!" His mom yelled and walked past Lucifer and looked like she was gonna slap him. He winks to me and before she reaches him. As she tries to slap him, he catches her hand and continues playing the song perfectly with just one hand. She looks stunned as the song finishes and he stands up to be a full head taller than her. "I own this house and you are my guest here. If I told you to get out you would have to. You tell me to kick someone else out I ignore it. I will choose what song I play and when I play it. I choose if you are in the room or not, nobody else but me. If what you said about Ashley was even remotely true, why would she still be here? Hmm? Ow yes I know because that's how logic works with you." He says and lets go of her arm and leans forward to be eye level with her, one of his blood red eyes hidden behind the mask. "Don't believe that I will not hesitate to kill even my family if they insult her. You know nothing of her and nothing of me. You will leave my room now, never come into this room again, and go downstairs and repeat this message." "ARE YOU THR..." She is stopped by him stepping away from her and walking over to me. "Yes that was a threat. One that could be easily carried out." He says without looking at her again. She cursed him a bit but then left the room. I turn to see him, looking out a window with hate burning in his eye. He reaches and takes the mask off, turning to me. I see the pain she causes him equals the hate in his eyes when he stabbed Azazel. He hugs me and I think, just being in the same room with me helps him calm down. His breathing slows and he turns to the others in the room. "You see what we have to deal with everyday?" He says to Tabitha and Annabelle. "It's quite hilarious, but why not scare her by spreading your wings?" Tabitha asks. I point to a cross above the bed while he takes the cross that sits around his neck out. "I may be a devil... and Kevin but that's besides the point. Anyway the reason being that if either of us were found to be devils, or demons, whichever term you prefer, we would be taken to the church to be exorcised. Kevin would lose the borrowed power from the demon he has in him, but I... well let's just say my predicament would be much worse since I was reborn as a demon." He says and sits down on the bed. They both nod and walk out of the room. I look back to the demons, but see that they are gone. I turn to Eryk who is staring at his mask. I take out my mask and sit next to him. "The first time you used the mask what did you feel it was doing to you?" Eryk asked. I think back to that day and say, "Like it was changing my mind telling it that it was part of my body." He nods and puts his mask aside. "Tartarus... The torments he did to me made the mask appear in front of me. To be honest I let it become part of my face for nearly 400 years. I spent that time thinking of how to escape. When another century passed I heard that Lucifer was coming to Tartarus for new guards for the palace I put the mask on and walked to the heart to hope he chose me. When he saw my face he instantly chose me because of how rare it was to find a mask wearer in Hell. Fifteen years passed as I was a guard before he told me that I would be his host." He said to me. I look at the mask in my hand and understand why people are so afraid to use them. They grant enough power to have a prince of Hell chose you from the millions of souls in Tartarus. I look at Eryk then put the mask on. Feeling the power rush to me yet again, all my feelings of hatred and bloodlust are suppressed like Eryk said and I missed the first time. I once again feel the mask try to tell me it's part of me but I don't care to stop it. Eryk just stares at me with cold dead eyes that show no emotion and without saying a word. As the mask finally inserted the idea that is was part of face I smiled and Eryk smiled a bit. "Why would you let the mask corrupt you?" He asked. I lean forward and hug him. "Why would I not seeing how miserable you look." I say. He smiles a bit and takes the mask off my face. All I feel is a bit of a draft and a bit more... naked without it. All the power stayed and all the experience stayed, but all the solitude and safety left. "Is the kind of... vulnerable feeling around you as well?" I ask and he laughs. "Now you definitely accepted the mask. The answer to your question is yes." He says and steals a kiss from me. I don't pull back. I hear the door open and a scream. I turn to see Eryk's mom standing in the doorway with Adam behind her. "YOU LITTLE SLUT, GET AWAY FROM MY SON!" She screams while running at me with her hand up and about to slap me. I see a flicker of movement and Eryk is holding her arm a foot away from my face. He looks at her with murderous intent in his eyes. He looks at me for a moment then pushes her away. "Seriously, woman what in the hell is your fucking deal with me and didn't Eryk tell you to stay out of his room? You really like to push people's buttons all because of ideas you have in your head about them and also because you do not know how to listen to anyone but yourself." I say. His mom runs at us again but Eryk stands in her way. "OUT OF MY WAY!" She screamed but Eryk just shook his head. I thought I heard a noise on the balcony but ignored it. "MOVE NOW!" His mom yelled as she runs with her hand in a slapping position. He just crossed his arms over his chest and stood in between us. She stopped angrily and said, "IT'S EITHER HER OR US!" He laughed and said, "I would chose her over you anyday." I heard a noise on the balcony again and saw a figure standing on the balcony. The figure quickly pushed the door open and charged at me with razor sharp fingers in front of it. At the noise of the balcony door opening Eryk's head shifted and he saw the creature charge at me. Before it could reach me he kicked it back to the balcony doors. It stood up again. I now saw that it stood nearly six feet tall and had fingers nearly two feet long. The figure was skinny, very fast, and very resilient. It also looked like a man decided to put hyena skin around himself. Eryk's mom screamed as it charged again but somehow Eryk managed to trip it and pin it to the floor. With his one free hand he pulled out his phone and called someone. "Why is Rake at my house trying to kill me, Jack?" Eryk asks and pauses for a moment. "Why did you think leaving a dangerous creature with Jeff was ever a good idea? Speaking of which where the hell is Jeff?" He asks and pauses again. "How is he missing... No even if the room was bloody it's Jeff we are talking about. He is always covered in blood... No if I knew where Jeff was I would not of asked you for where he was." Eryk says as he picks Rake up in a headlock. "W... WHAT IS THAT!" His mom screamed. "Seems it's a thing called Rake..." I say as I remember the creepypasta about the Rake. "Mhm... mhm... Will do." Eryk says and hangs up. He then takes a bag and covers Rake's head with it. He sits down and starts rocking back and forth. I look at Eryk with a frown, "I never knew the Rake could be calmed this way." I say. He laughs and says, "This is not the Rake. It's SCP-096 better know as 'Shy Guy' same basis except this one kills when someone sees his face, lucky us no one here saw the face and the fact that he is completely invincible." Eryk says. "Nothing is invincible." I say. "Really? Then how did this mofo survive 20 seconds of a minigun shooting .50 cal bullets at it or an artillery strike and a fucking anti tank missile to the head." Eryk says. "Ok it's invincible." I say. He calls someone else and in german he says, "Ich habe Ihr Haustier verloren. gehen in den Wald and Jack muss sie zurück zu Ihnen." He hangs up as Jack walks into the room, hoodie covering his face quite well. He leads it away. After it leaves I see Eryk point to the balcony and walk in the direction of it. When both of us are on the balcony we jump to the ground floor. Jack walks out of the garage with the 'Shy Guy' as we land. "What was he doing here?" Eryk asks. "Foundation had a containment breach with 049 and that led to a bunch of others including 096 escaping into the facility. He somehow got out to your house." Jack says and Eryk nods. Jack walks away and we are alone again. I look up at the sky and say, "This was what the sky in that dream looked like." Eryk walks up behind me and lifts me up. "What are you doi..." I begin to say when Eryk spreads his wings and flew us up onto the roof. I smile as I see that he has a blanket and some pillows laid out on the roof. I smile and say, "Why are there pillows and is that a stack of blankets by the pillows too?" Eryk chuckles and says, "Yes that is a stack of blankets next to the pillows and the pillows are there because me and you are spending the night on the roof under the night sky tonight." I smile and turn to face him. When I turn the light of the blood moon shines on Eryk making him look even more perfect than he already was. I just stare at him until he says, "I know I am good looking and all but let's have a seat and do you want any of the special wine?" I just nod and he escorts me over to the blanket and we sit down. He then summons two wine glasses and the bottle of War's blood wine. He pours the wine into the glasses and hands me mine. I just smile and say, "You look great with the blood moon light reflecting off of you and thank you for all of this I really am happy about it." I take a drink of the wine. I am surprised at how good it is and turn to Erky who is just staring at me with nothing but kindness, love, and a little hint of something that I can't quite put my finger on. I blush and ask, "Why are you just staring at me?" He laughs and smiles then says, "Because I like this side of you and because you are breathtaking in this lighting." I blush even more and move closer to him and rest my head on his shoulder as we just stare out at the night sky. I think to myself 'this could not be anymore perfect without actually being in the mountains'. Then I look up at Eryk to see that once again he is staring at me with those eyes but this time he also is wearing a genuine soft smile. I lean up and capture his lips with mine for a deep passionate kiss. He pulls me down onto the blanket with him as he leans back to be laying on his back without breaking the kiss. After a few minutes we break apart for some air with our foreheads still touching and with his oxygen lacking breath he says, "I love you." I smile and say, "I love you too." Then he kisses me again rolling me onto my back as he begins to trail butterfly kisses down my neck. I arch my back so that he can easily but his hand on my back to pull me in closer to him as I wrap my arms around his neck. He comes up to my face and kisses me again as he begins to take off my shirt. I then begin to take his shirt off as he throws mine away from us. He then picks us up to a standing position and spreads his wings. We fly above the clouds again and the blood moon light again hits us. His normally pitch black wings turn into a light crimson and we fly over the entire country, still kissing each other. When we land I expect it to be on top of the mansion but instead I see the place where I got to torture Puppy for fun. He lands on his back and laughs when I end up giving him another quick kiss because of the landing. I laugh as well because the carvings on his chest are glowing a nice blue shade. We lay in the grass for hours using only his wings for cover and relax. I laugh as I turn to see him with a funny face. "What are you thinking about?" I ask. "I was just thinking that this day marks our eight month anniversary." He answers as he steals another kiss from me. We just stare into eachothers eyes for hours. I see the first rays of sunlight come up and I feel Eryk pick me up like a princess in movies. He flies us back to his room just as the door opens and his mom walks in angry as ever looking around. I look at him and he is already on the roof reaching down to pull me up. When we are on the roof again, we end up kissing each other for another twenty minutes. Afterwards we put our shirts back on and quietly slipped back into his room. He tells me to sit on the bed as he sits at the piano. He started to play a lighter and more bright hearted version of beethoven's fifth. It made me smile because all the heavy and dark notes were replaced by the lighter happier ones. I smile when he starts playing it even faster. He smiles a bit more as I hear the door open. Jasmine walks into the room and smiles when she sees us and walks over to sit down next to me on the bed. "What are you doing here?" I ask as I smile at his playing. "He use to get everyone's spirits up when we were feeling down by singing or playing a song on a conveniently placed instrument." Jasmine says as a smile grows on her face. I look back to Eryk who, while not missing a single note, lifts one hand from the piano and summons a violin and tosses it to Jasmine. "Come on like old times." He says and starts playing a different more upbeat song I never heard before. Jasmine laughed a bit before the two of them were harmonizing with each other. I did not know whether to be happier or be jealous that they knew each other well enough to play a song like this. Eryk laughed a bit and closed the piano keys. He walks over to me and gives me another quick kiss before he goes to take a shower. Jasmine sits by me again. She stares at me for a moment and asks, "How did you come to know him?" She asked. "He saved me from being publicly humiliated and possibly raped." I answer hesitantly. Jasmine raises her eyebrow a bit and says, "Wow strange. Four centuries ago that nearly happened to me." She says with a bit of hesitance. I laugh at the fact that Eryk managed to find himself repeating some history. I hear the water run and turn my head towards the sound. When I turn back Jasmine is gone. After a moment the door to the room opens again and his mom walks in. FUCK MY LIFE! I yell to myself. "WHAT ARE... IS HE TAKING A SHOWER AND YOU ARE IN HIS ROOM ALONE!" "If you must know yes he is taking a shower and yes I am in his room while he is in his own personal bathroom. Once again can you FUCKING STOP THE DAMN YELLING. I mean it. Do you even realise the headaches you cause in this house. Is it a crime for you to talk in a normal person's voice. Shesh I have met toddlers at a park be quieter than you. Is it a crime for me to be in a room that I am allowed in let alone invited into while you are not even supposed to be in this room or did you once again forget that you do not own this house nor do you make the rules." "WHO ARE YOU TO ORDER ME AROUND! I AM HIS MOTHER HE CANNOT KEEP ME OUT OF HIS ROOM AND HE CERTAINLY CAN'T KEEP A SLUT IN HERE!" She screamed. "For fucks sakes get the fucking idea that I am a slut out of your damn head. I mean you don't trust your own son to know when someone is showing him no trust or respect. Seriously, you do not know me at all and yet you call me a slut, whore, and everything else. It is old and annoying. You need to get your damn facts straight before you start accusing people of shit and who they are. Everyone here even your own family can see that I am nothing like what you say or make me out to be. I believe you need to learn more respect and get your fucking head out of your ass. You are acting like a little kid believing you are doing everything right for your son when in reality you are just showing him nothing, but distrust and disrespect. Maybe you should actually answer your damn door because reality has been knocking on it for quite some time because you need to have a major reality check." "REALITY CHECK? IF NOT FOR MY SON YOUR LITTLE SLUT ASS WOULD BE OUT THE DOOR. I BET YOU CAN'T EVEN COOK A GOOD DINNER!" She screamed randomly. "What the hell does cooking have to do with any of this but for your information I can cook. Yes, you need a major one because you can't see beyond your own damn thoughts and ideas where as for myself and everyone else here we see the bigger picture well maybe not Adam or Oscar but that's not the point. The point is that you get so caught up in your own little world that you end up forgetting that reality is right in front of you telling you to just accept the facts no matter how much you dislike them because that is life. We all have shit we have to deal with everyday that we do not like, but we still have to get through it. Reality is never going away and your 'perfect' world is nothing, but a dream that you need to wake up from. This whole act you have pulling may have been cute when you were a kid and worked pretty well at making your sons scared of you, but it will not faze me one bit since I have been around meaner and scarier people. You are just an old crone who doesn't want her son to grow up and become his own person. I am not scared of you nor would I ever be scared of you." "HOW DAR-" She is cut off by Eryk leaving the bathroom in nothing but a towel. "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!" His mom screams and averts her eyes. Eryk smiles as I see that he cast some illusion over his chest to hide the writing. He walks over to me and hugs me while his mother continues to be disgusted. "THIS IS WHY I LIKED PATRYK MORE!" She yelled. "Well I'm not Patryk and never will be so stop bitching about it." Eryk says as he sits next to me. She all but runs out of the room as his towel started to fall away. "Works every time." He said and stood up in trunks that were hidden under the towel. As he got dressed I blushed a bit and he looked at me from the corner of his eye. "Tomorrow we dance the night away?" He asked. I laugh and say, "Yes." He laughs and finishes getting dressed. We then goes downstairs where he goes to cook. "Your mom screamed something about me being unable to cook. Why would she bring such a topic up?" I ask. "She believes a woman should know how to cook and do house chores, the man should know how to put shit together and how to fix a tire." Eryk says without missing a beat in the kitchen. I thought back to when I last cooked. I had to keep focus on the dish, but he seemed to just dump random ingredients into a bowl and stir them together. I wondered if he would teach anything else, like how to fly or if I even can fly. "Why don't you ask him?" Azazel says in my head. "If I was gonna get taught more, he would've said something already." I answer him. "He can't teach you if he doesn't know what you wanna learn." Azazel replies and goes back to minding his own business. I sit there for a bit. If I do ask him to teach me some new things would that change my status of a teacher back to a student? "You seem to have something on your mind." Eryk says without looking over his shoulder. "I wanted to know if you could teach me to fly like you do or maybe even play an instrument like the guitar or something." I say. He laughs a bit and says, "Sure, thought you were gonna ask for a hard thing like cooking." Sarcasm duly noted. "Why did you not yet teach me?" I ask. "Never was a reason to teach you how to play an instrument." He says. "That's not the thing I ment." I say. "Well what did you mean, pretty girl?" Says a voice from behind me. I turn to see Giovanni and G man standing behind me. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." Giovanni says as G man laughs. "You wanna know something, G man?" Eryk asks as he starts to pour the drinks. "What?" He turns to look at him with the half face mask on. "She has the kick to rival the strongest kicker in the world and I just bought her steel toed cowboy boots. You wanna experience how real a man hurt?" He asks. "I'm sure that's an exaggeration, bring it!" G man says. Giovanni backs away, for he knew how this was gonna end. Eryk leaves the kitchen for a moment and brought back steel toed cowboy boots. He handed them to me and went back to cooking. I slip the boots on and turned to G man who was in a ready position. I kicked with some of my strength, but the kick still managed to pick him up a foot in the air before he fell to his knees. "Ok... Not... Gonna... Question... You... Ever... Again." G man says as he falls over. Giovanni laughs as he has to pick him up and carry him into an empty room. "First door on the left." Eryk says laughing all the while. He then looks at me. "You never asked how to fly so I didn't teach you." He says with a sly grin as he hands me a plate stacked with bacon and pancakes. I smile back as I eat them. Patryk walked into the kitchen and went to his usual Patryk methods of annoying me whenever he sees me. "So here's my girl, tell me how was last night? Did you see his d-" He is cut off by Eryk slamming a pan into his face. "Sorry, amature chef at work. Gonna have to ask you to leave." Eryk says innocently and I laugh. "Still as useless as ever, out of my way the master chef is here..." He says before Eryk winks and trips over 'accidentally' head butting Patryk knocking him out. Giovanni walks back into the room and sighs picking Patryk up. "What room?" I laugh as Eryk tells him. He nods and walks to his room. "Now I believe you wanted to fly." Eryk says as he teleports us, breakfast and all, to the roof of the Empire state building in New York. I stand for a second then notice I'm standing at the edge of the roof. "Umm... Ery..." I'm cut off as he pulls me down with him. I sigh because I was somewhat expecting this and say, "You really are crazy, aren't you?" I ask and he laughs and says, "Glad you noticed. Now focus some of your energy into your back and imagine wings sprouting from your back. We have about 30 seconds or so." I do as he tells me and focus some of my energy and envision wings taking shape from my back. A few seconds pass and nothing seems to of changed. "Its not working." I say and look over to where Eryk was a few seconds ago. "What..." I look up and see him looking at me with interest about 20 feet behind me. I turn to see that the wings sprouted from my back. He quickly caught up to me and we once again teleported up. I still had the wings on my back and was staring at them with interest. Unlike Eryk's which were a mix of all his demons, mine seemed to be made of liquid silver and shaped like two crescent moons. I look down to see we are a couple thousand feet above the building. "The first test was successful. Now to see if you can get them to fly..." Eryk says with a smile as he lets go of me and we fall again. "How do I get them to flap?" I ask and he shrugs. "Different from person to person. I have to imagine where I wanna fly, but that's because I have a photographic memory and remember everything." Eryk says. I try what he does but I can't remember every detail on every building. Then I just try to imagine that I am hovering and I feel myself start to slow. I try to direct the wings to make me stop to a slow. I open my eyes and see that I am hovering a few inches above the roof of the Empire state again. I gasp and lose my concentration and fall the last few inches to the floor, but before I hit Eryk catches me. "Well done now you can fly in the general scape." He says and softly puts me back down near the breakfast he teleported with us. "So what instrument would you like to learn to play?" I think for a second and say, "A guitar." He laughs and says, "One moment." He falls backwards off the roof and three minutes pass before he comes back with electric and acoustic guitars. He hands me the acoustic guitar and says, "We practice with this one before going to loud one." I nod.
