Demon of my Demons

Twenty Five: Betrayal

-Cordelia-

"Cordelia." Sirius says my name again as he's standing right in front of me.

I can feel my heart pounding, and I don't know why I'm so freaking nervous about what he's going to say. I want him to understand, but it's like something inside me is telling me that he's not going to understand. If he doesn't, then what's going to happen to me? Will they let me leave or are they going to kill me or lock me up as a prisoner? I'm not too sure how this prince of Hell thing works out.

"Cordelia, I want to understand but I just don't." Sirius says almost guiltily.

"What you mean you want to understand?" Vetis asks harshly.

"I mean how I said it." Sirius says his voice going hard.

"Sirius didn't you hear what she just said? She was willing to help The Great Threat to kill your father. You hear me? Kill your father!" Vetis hisses.

"I heard her Vetis, but who can blame her? My father isn't honorable, he keeps secrets, he betrays people, and apparently he kills people that you will love." Sirius says darkly.

"Your going to take their word over your own fathers word?" Vetis hisses.

"My father lies to me all the time." Sirius puts it simply.

"I can't believe you Sirius!" Vetis growls.

"Vetis, what's gotten into you? I thought you hate Lucifer?" Chax questions her.

"He's our Lord, and none of you should be betraying him!" Vetis growls.

"We aren't betraying him." Sirius tells her annoyed.

"Sirius?" I ask not knowing what else to say.

"I'm sorry Cordelia, but as much as I want to understand I can't. I hate my father but he's still my father, and you tried to help kill him. That's treason on your part. I'll give you two options. Leave and never come back, or you will be locked up until my father comes back. He will then decide what to do with you." Sirius tells me almost regrettably.

I widen my eyes and couldn't believe that he's not taking my side on this. I also kind of seen this coming too. He's a demon, a Prince of Hell. So he will of course take the side of Hell. I'm in the wrong, but I just wanted to save my life and he's not seeing it as that. I wish Cristobal was here, he might understand and convince Sirius otherwise. I wonder where he is anyways. I let out a sigh as I really don't want to be locked up until Lucifer comes. My only bet, my only safe bet is to leave and to never come back. I have no where's to go but I guess I will find somewhere to stay. I mean, this is kind of what I wanted back then isn't it?

"I'll leave then. I won't come back." I tell him with disappointment.

"No! This is ridiculous, she was only trying to save her life." Jessamyn tries to reassure everyone.

"Shut it before you join her." Vetis growls at her.

Chax glares at her before pulling Jessamyn closer to himself for protection. I smile weakly at that and knew she's safe here with Chax. I then frown as I look over at Sirius. I felt like my heart just broke in two, and it's a new feeling. A feeling that I don't like but all I know is that I want to leave before I break down into tears. I walk over to him and without hesitation, I wrap my arms around him hugging him.

"I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me someday. Goodbye Sirius." I say before stepping away.

Sirius just stares at me not knowing what to do, and Alistair grabs onto my shoulder tightly. I look at him with wide eyes, slightly shocked that he's glaring down at Sirius. I hope he's not planning on starting something. I thought almost worriedly. I already got myself kicked out, and I don't need to get myself in anymore trouble because of Alistair.
