Daughter of Heaven and Earth

10

  As soon as I'm back in Hell I order the kids to go to their quarters and I head to my room. The pain in my heart keeps growing stronger and I feel angry. I'm angry for believing anything that came out of that filthy mutt. I'm mad at myself for being so stupid to fall in love again, as if the last time I fell in love turned out so well. So stupid. My blood boils and I let out a deadly roar. I let all my feelings out in the roar. All my pain, all my anger, and all my sadness. I feel a little better but I'm still so angry. I punch my bedroom wall and I welcome the slight sting to my knuckles. I continue punching the wall and my anger builds again. I continue until my knuckles start bleeding. I throw my bed against the wall and claw at my skin. I'm so mad. 

  I remembered the rebels in my dungeon and a sick idea entered my brain. They are in my dungeon for a reason, the reason being that they are scum and I will teach them what I do with scum. With that in mind, I leave the destroyed room and head towards the dungeon where the guards look surprised to see me. "I want the keys to the cells and I want you to leave the dungeons." They quickly hand over the keys and I grab them. " I want you to turn the cameras on and record whats happening in there but don't look at it. Turn the camera on and leave the room. You are relieved of duty for tonight." They bow and do what I say and I quickly open the door to the dungeon, locking the door behind me. There's no way anyone in here is going to escape with their lives. There's a red haze in my vision and I want blood. 

  I don't want to waste time so I use the master key and open all the doors at once. Slowly the demons in the cells peek out and most of their eyes land on me. "If you can defeat me then you have earned your freedom but I will let you know that not one of you will leave this room with your lives without fighting me." Some demons glared at me while some of them looked at me with fear in their eyes. I spot the leader of the rebels and I smirk at him. "Care to have a chance to show your followers that you are worthy of leading them or are you too much of a coward." His eyes harden and with a snarl he lunges for me, ferociously punching and slashing with his claws. 

  When they saw him lunged many started advancing at me and I let them get a few hits in when I grabbed the first demon by the throat, strangling him. Everyone kept hitting me harder but all I could focus on was the eyes of the demon I was killing. They were wide with panic as he clawed at my hands, the life and fight slowly draining from him. It felt good to hurt something. To know that something was hurting as much as you were. I snapped his neck and tossed him to the side, making the demons freeze when they heard the thud of the body hitting the floor. 

  The demons death was satisfying but not enough. My anger grew and I growled out. I was out for blood and I'll be damned if these demons went living any longer. As if sensing their impending doom some decided to look for a way out while I grabbed the nearest demon and ripped his throat out. The smell of blood reached my nose and I felt my barely there self control leave me all together and I was so hungry now. I let out another deadly growl and pounced on demons. 

  Demons after demons I clawed and slashed. I bite and I ate. Their deafening screams where music to my ears as I continued my massacre. With every bit of blood that touched my tongue, I felt my thirst and strength grow stronger. I wanted more. I wanted more blood. 

  With the last demon dead I glanced around. There were mangled bodies everywhere. The concrete floor was now red with the blood of the demons. I wasn't satisfied tho. I wanted more. How can I justify killing demons that weren't in the dungeon? The ones who were 'innocent'. The ones that walked around the city of hell, claiming their royalty to me. I couldn't and that pissed me off. I take one last look and decide to go wash the blood of off myself. I open the door to the dungeon and the close it. I'll have a maid clean the dungeon up. I start making my way back to my destroyed room, keeping a blank and calm look on my face. 

  As I walked past castle demons, their eyes widened in horror before they bowed down. I knew they felt my power. I wasn't hiding it anymore and my full power was on display. I was done being the demons merciful ruler. I was going to be the ruler my father was, no, I would be better then my father. I was going to make sure every single demon was in their place or they would suffer the consequences.  I changed course and went to the maid quarters. "I need someone to with a strong stomach to go clean the dungeons at once and I would like someone to clean my bedroom at once." Without having them confirm their orders I start towards my room again to take a quick shower. 

  I quickly take my clothes off and burn them with my magic. The stench of blood and burning material fills the room and I open the balcony window and then into the bathroom I go. My reflection catches my eye and I look at myself. My skin is shiny with blood and I can feel just how soaked my hair is with blood. My one eye looks dull and I look much more disgusting than usual. I snarl at my reflection and break the mirror with my knuckles. I know I have glass in my knuckles but I don't care. I feel empty right now and I feel the hate for myself grow. I can't understand or wrap my head around what I did. 

   I killed so many demons. I didn't have full control of myself and I hate myself. I always had control over everything. My actions, my temper, and everyone else's actions. I couldn't let myself lose control like that again. What if the next time I lose control is near humans? I don't even want to know how terrible that would be. 

  I let the cold water wash away the blood and I close my eye. I need to get my priorities straight right now. I need to straighten Hell out. With that thought in mind I quickly finished showering and then walk out, a game plan forming in my head. 

  I head towards my office after putting clothes on and head straight to my desk. I grab the phone on my desk and dial a number into the phone letting it ring. "Yes, your highness?" Without wasting time I let the Demon know that I want a spy placed in Caleb's pack, to look for any signs of a war brewing. The demon doesn't ask any questions and does as he's told while I hang up and make another call. This time the call is made to the chief enforcer. 

  I will put a curfew on Hell. That way I have a way to know who goes where and who sneaks through the night, I make sure to tell him to enforce it strictly and I want those who break the curfew in my dungeon. No one goes unpunished. I hang up and start doing some paperwork and head down into the children's quarters. I have been slacking in their training but that ends now. They will be the best I have even if I have to let the weaklings go. I don't need any weak demons giving my enemies a chance to challenge me. 

  With that in mind I walk down the dimly lit hallway to the training center which is right next to the children's quarters. These will become my perfect little soldier. I smirk and walk faster, my whole body tingling from excitement.
