Chapter 9- Guardian From Hell

I couldn't sleep. My heartbeats were calm and serene but my mind surely wasn't. Something awaits me. I sense its severity and it makes me feel uneasy. Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the garden. I jumped up from where I was sitting, but sat down again. It's just my wild imagination. I saw Henry shivering so I brought another cover and laid it over him.

A foreign sensation rushed in my blood and I involuntarily stood up. It was like something was controlling my body. I descended the staircase then opened the main door to the orphanage. The frigid winter wind hit me harshly.

The street lamp flickered and I kept staring around me. My attire was a thin long sleeved black shirt paired with black shorts and it was not at all convenient for such crude weather conditions. A flash of lightning had turned night into day and much to my dismay, thunder vigorously sounded and I flinched at the powerful scream that followed. The figure of the man I saw before loomed under a tree. I inched closer, praying that he wouldn't hurt me. A surge of confidence ran through me. "Come into the light!" I demanded.

He stayed still and did not move an inch. "Do not speak to me in such a manner!" He boomed. His voice was husky, honey to my ears, even if he used a harsh tone, something about his voice was dark, menacing, and lust-worthy.

"W-Who are you?" I whispered. "I'm supposed to be your guardian from hell." He said nonchalantly. I was surely not in the mood for jokes. "But I couldn't care less what happens to you." He added and I swallowed in fear. "Guardian from hell? I thought there were angels for that?" I settled on saying. "Your angels have given up on you. I still don't know why though. I have been watching you for quite a while now, roughly 16 years. Nothing about you seems evil, nothing around you seems to scream 'sinister'. Then why did your angels give you up? And why did my boss take interest in you? Is what has been running through my mind ever since I was assigned to you." He added and I felt him stepping closer. Is this guy delusional or something? Is this a game Jayden set up? I was boiling with anger."Oh how rude of me, I still didn't introduce myself! I'm the Ice Queen. Most probably why my angels gave up on me." I shot back sarcastically and reached out to shake his hand. He did not move. "I see." I said and retreated my hand. Does this fucker take me for an idiot? "You have some balls trying to talk to me like that. You don't know who I am." He seethed.

"So are you a demon?" I played along. "You can say that... But I am not like any other demon." He said confidently and I burst out laughing. "So what're we supposed to do now?" I laughed. "It is not wise to mock me, Ice Bitch. My bad, Ice Queen." He ridiculed.

"What a sick joke. Did Jayden put you up to this? Or was it someone from the bitch squad?!" I stated angrily. "ENOUGH! Games are over it's time to take you to boss. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR if he hadn't warned me to bring you back unharmed... You'd be six feet under and your soul would be suffering under my COMMAND!" He roared and I stayed silent.

This joke has gone too far. What do they take me for? A fool? Take my soul? I scoffed. "Good night." I said and turned on my heel to go back to sleep. "You're not going anywhere." He grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled me backward until I hit his hard rock chest. Ouch. "Fuck what he said. You're going to get harmed all right." He whispered into my ear and his breathing turned heavy.

I was shit scared. I didn't let out a single breath. I didn't dare. "Learn to wear something less revealing. Or i'll be unable to control myself." He blurted and traced my bare thighs, leaving my skin burning behind. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. "O-ok." I croaked out.

He turned me to face him and I kept my eyes closed. I couldn't bring myself to open them. "Open your eyes." He ordered. His tone was blood-curdling. I fluttered my eyes open to be met with a figure with no face, there was a black void instead. He was wearing a long black velvet coat. I gasped.

He towered at god knows what height. I don't think there's a number that high. What the... My whole confident act went down the toilet and I was about to shit my pants. "Stop staring at me, brat." He hissed. "Got it?" He said and I nodded. He grabbed my head and started speaking in a foreign language. Before I knew it, I was out like a light.

Third person POV

He was puzzled at Lucifer's interest in the girl. What is she? She is surely not fit for hell and does not have a black heart. She has a heart of gold and an aura of purity. It disgusted him. He stared at her features. Her lips like a rose, delicate and fair, her skin glowed. She was enticing, but she was nothing to him. Merely another soul to be delivered to the devil.

He enjoyed her fierce reaction to his words, but was furious when she dared defy and undermine him. Something inside her held the spark of a devil, flame of mischief. He opened the portal to the in-between and entered the world of demons and all evil. Where hell's headquarter's are. Where everything bad resides.
