Who is the Devil?

"Who in Go- in my name are you?" I say as he looks down, I notice a chain connected to his leg as torches surround us. He walks towards the side of the cage and sits down.

"No it would make sense if you couldn't recognize your own dad" he says to me as he drops his head into his hands.

"Wait . . . Dad?" I say as I walk towards him hesitantly, he snaps his head up and his eyes hold, hope in them.

"Yes, though I'm not looking my best right now" he says as he uses the side of the cage to get himself up, he smiles as he looks at me taking in a deep breath and holding it.

"Look at you, you're a spitting image of me, though only shorter and has longer hair"

"Also I'm a girl," I say to him, making him laugh for a moment.

"Yes that too" he says as he takes a step closer to me, "But you have to help me,"

"Help you? You want to create a demon army to take over the world! I'm not helping you" I spit at him as he drops his face.

"No, that's not me,"

"How?"

"The reason why I was banished from Heaven in the first place was because of Diana" he says sitting down on the ground, his knees up as he leans against the side of the cage.

"What?" I say as I stand there, I was curious but at the same time I make sure that I'm cautious, I mean I'm talking to the devil to begin with.

"Diana your mother, was a beautiful young woman" he begins as he looks up like he's in the memory; he closes his eyes for a moment and sighs.

"She was so innocent back then too, but when I told her of my father and his creation she wanted to have that power," he says as he opens his eyes and looks at me.

"She banished me from Heaven, she used me to get to my father and for that he made Michael throw me into here" he says as my eyebrows furrow together in confusion.

"She forbid me to see you, I could've rescued you! Saved you from that day when . . ." he says, a tear streams down the side of his face, "I sent Michael to protect you, I needed you to have a guardian angel on your shoulder at least until you are old enough to get me out of here" he says, I sigh and drop down by his side.

"I don't think, that'll happen," I say dropping my head as I stare at my hands letting a little smoke cloud my palms.

"Don't think like that, your power is close to mine! I can help you control it" he says to me, I look at him and he smiles softly.

"Why are you nothing like they depict you as? You're, not acting like the devil"

"Because the true devil is Diana, she controls the wolves up there . . . She controls my creation too"

"Your, creation?"

"The demons, they where supposed to be better then the humans, like a protector of them to prove that I can be trusted but she turned them into an evil thing" he says, I look ahead hearing the screams all around us.
