Deal With The Devil

Hope

Once lucifer had departed Clementine, he soared straight to the dark realm. Apart of hell that was strictly forbidden, But he didnt care, hed already given up everything. And he was okay with it.

There was something that the love sick angel had to take care of, a type of insurance per say. Safety, for clementine. It was dangerous and forbidden for them to be together. So he decided to create a binding. A safety net in case the worst scenario were to happen. This was why, Lucifer was going to visit the witches.

The Three witches Zodia, Gyra, and Amety were feared through all the realms, but known to keep their promises, for a price.

His feet grazed the steps of a crumbing castle, clouds roared with thunder above it, and lucifer had to squint to see through the dark mist. A river surrounded the castle, soon turning into an ocean. An abyss.

His steps echoed as he folded his wings and approached the gates.

"Ah, Lucifer.." A voice like a snake slowly rang out lowly at him. With a startled jump, he looked around, but no one was there. "I was wondering when youd be coming my dear..."

"Yes," A second voice hissed sweetly at him. Lucifer stopped looking about and stood his ground. "All of the realms have been talking of you, and your pet."

"Ive come here to-" Lucifer began to speak but a third voice cut him off, this one less sweet and more raspy.

"We know what youve come for. " She said.

"And we will gladly accept." The sweet second voice sang out.

"For a price." The first voice spoke slowly.

"Yes." The third growled softly. "For a price."

Lucifer clenched his teeth and paused.

"And what may be that price?" He yelled out calmly.

Then, in the mist, three figures appeared.

A beautiful and sweet toned woman stepped forward. White hair tumbled out of her cloak while a deep violet dress hid behind, lips painted black, and eyes white she smiled. "We have seen what the future holds my boy." The witch known as Amety spoke.

Another figure stepped out making their presence clear. She was shorter, hunched over, and had choppy short black hair, she pointed a long slender finger at him, her body matched that of a skeleton figure under her black dress that loosely clung to her. Red firey eyes bore into him coldly as her voice had a growl behind it. "Yes, weve seen it my angel." Gyra rasped.

The figure that stood in the middle emerged from the mist with crossed arms. She had one green eye and one brown, the side of her left arm was scared from a bad burn, her ginger hair half shaved off , her curvy figure drapped in crimson red satin that clung to her curves, she raised a sharp brow at him. "Angel?" Zodia smirked. "Far from it."

Amety spoke again and licked her lips revealing a long and lizard like tongue before grinning with an uneasy laugh. Those white eyes unsettling to Lucifer. "We have seen what you will become, and what you will rule." She sweetly said, like a siren humming to its prey.

"We want half of the souls you take." Zodia said harshly.

"Souls?" Lucifer questioned as he raised a confused brow.

"Yes. Souls." Gyra croaked.

"I dont understand. What souls?" Lucifer prodded.

"Best not to dwell on the future Angel." Amety hissed.

"Is it a deal?" Zodia was quick to speak.

"Yes, whatever. Just, Give us the binding." Lucifer nodded with certainty.

The witch Amety nodded. "The spell will take a few days at the most to complete. " she said as she stepped back into the mist, her figure disappearing.

"Once the spell is complete, our deal will be too." Zodia spoke as she too stepped back removing her presence from his eye.

Gyra soon followed them as she hissed in a low rasp. "Come back to us in three days time.."

The angels wings spread out as silence followed him, gently wooshing against the air as he lifted up and soared To see clem.

Clementine lazily laid in her bed awaiting for Lucifer to return to her. Happily she closed her tired eyes.

Soon shed run away from this awful place, with the one person whom she could count on. Soon her mind drifted off to sleep..

Rain violently beat the window outside, it was dark, cold. Esmerelda shivered as she looked to the little house with a scowl. Justice would be served. She was blinded by hate, little did she know that shed regret her actions in the future. With light steps she entered the house only to fine the girl in a peaceful drift of sleep. She silently snickered and shook her head.

The angel crossed her arms as she watched Clementine sleep peacefully. Looking down with hate she shook her head. How could Lucifer Love this girl? She had no wings, no purity, she was a mortal.. It wasnt her fate to live, Thus why should he have her?

Esmerelda twirled a strand of the girls hair in her finger, before slowly taking the pillow next to her and cover the girls face. Clementine woke up suddenly and faught against the grasp, But Esmerelda pushed her down. Emotions swirled through the angel, she herself now tainted, and Clementine's body grew still as she suffocated.

Esmerelda was supposed to feel satisfied. Empowered even. But she froze, her hands that clutched the pillow yanked away from the object and her eyes widdened as she stepped back. What had she done? She knew shed be bannished if the council found out, the council knows all.. How could they not find out?

Esmerelda ran. Ran out of the house. Ran in the rain. Her mind swarmed as violent as the thunder that roared above. Perhaps Gabrielle could help her..

As lucifer landed in front of Clementines house, he felt uneasy. Rain drops rolled off his wings and dampened his hair as he made his way to the door.. It was open? Stepping inside he stumbled upon Clementine asleep. He.smiled softly with a bit of relief and sat next to her on the bed.

"Clem?" He breathed out softly and slightly shook her. She didnt budge. "Clementine-" Lucifer repeated again, this time a bit louder. She wasnt waking up. A pit in his stomache grew as he stood up swiftly. "Clementine?" he yelled before he pressed his ear to her chest, he couldnt hear her heart. Tears began to threaten his eyes as he shook her nervously. "Wake up-" he croaked. But it was no use, she wouldnt. He knew the binding wouldnt be done in time to save her. As tears filled his eyes, he ran his fingers through his hair. There was no hope.
