The Devils Son

4. Hell's Demons

  Even now that I can see out in hell I still can't tell when it's day or night. For what feels like days now all I could hear is sounds of screaming and pain coming from the doughnut shaped hole in the ground that drops to the thousands of doors that lead down endless hallways with millions of cells.

  As I'm looking out I see something flying towards me. I back up to the middle of the big room and it lands in the opening. It's one of the demons. Shit.

  He walks towards me and his eyes flash and they look like they are on fire. I back up as far as I can when the backs of my legs hit the bed and I crawl to the back of the bed and pull the blankets up around me. The demon keeps walking towards me. Suddenly he grabs my leg and pulls me across the bed towards him. Where his hand is on my ankle I can feel it start to burn then it feels like all the bones are breaking and I start to scream. I try to kick it off me but it grabs my other leg and the same feeling appears and I scream louder. This is the worse pain I've ever felt it feels like my legs are in lava and all the bones are being crushed with a hammer. I start begging and crying when I hear a sound come from behind the Demon.

  The demon stops and turns around and it's Levi, he doesn't have a shirt on and his wings are out again. As I'm crying on the bed, unable to move my legs, the demon stops immediately and drops to the ground and bows to him. Levi's eyes go so dark that I can't even see the colour in his iris's anymore, he retracts his wings and the demon starts crying out in pain and is trying to stand but can't.

  Levi walks towards the demon and steps on his back, pushing him to the ground. He then grabs his wings by the base and rips them out of the its back and throws them across the room. The demon screeches so loud I have to cover my ears it's so deafening. Levi then grabs it by the ankle and drags it to the edge of the opening and kicks it out, letting it fall to the ground story's below.

  Levi turns around after a moment and walks towards me as I'm still on the edge of the bed. He crouches down in front of me without saying anything and he reaches for my ankles. As soon as he touches them I feel pain shoot up my leg and I throw my hands forward and dig my nails into his shoulders.

  He looks up at me with concern then looks back down and grabs my ankles very carefully this time and as he holds them I can feel heat appearing to the area where he touches.

    I look down and the veins on his forearms are glowing a bright red and the area starts to gradually hurt less and less. Once the pain is completely gone he removes his hands and looks up at me as I still have my hands on his bare shoulders.

   "What did you do?" I whisper and he stands up and holds his hands out for me to take and try standing so I take his hand and he helps me up and to my surprise there is no pain.

  "I transferred your pain to me" he says as I try moving my ankles around.

  "Are you in pain?" I ask looking up at him

"You're worried about me?" He says and lets out a small laugh. "I can take a level of pain you couldn't even imagine, it would kill you" he says looking into my eyes.

  "How did you do it?" I ask looking at him in amazement.

  "I can do so many thing you will never understand" he says as he looks down at me with such interest as he runs his thumb along my jaw and then rests it on my bottom lip, he stares at my mouth for a moment then clenches his jaw and turns around quickly. As he walks towards the opening I grab his hand to stop him and he turns around, facing me again, His hand is warm.

  "I'm scared when you're not here" I say quietly looking at him.

  "You should be the most scared when I'm here" he says in a low, menacing voice.
