3rd Person POV

"YOU LET HIM GET AWAY?!" Aeshma screeched.

Of course, this demon was referring to Erebus' foolish mistake of letting his lust for Eros get the best of him.

Erebus didn't respond, he just stared blankly at the wall of an alleyway while the black goo from his face seeped out of him and dripped onto the ground.

"Oh, but I'm the terrible demon..." Incubus muttered under his breath.

Here, stood three powerful, bickering demons in the alleyway of New York City, they could care less who heard their argument.

They weren't even disguised in their mortal forms, just three eight and seven foot tall demons standing around and yelling at each other.

Before Erebus was banished to Earth with Eros, Erebus' former partners held a grudge against their fellow demon for falling for a Greek God.

All three of them originally had a plan before Erebus fell for Eros, Erebus would crawl out from the depths of Hell, pose as one of the Gods, kill Zeus and then kill all the rest of the Gods.

Satan had given Erebus his unholy blessing to escape Hell and disguising himself as a God was no problem...

That's when he saw Him...

Eros, the God of love, lust and sexuality, in all His naked glory, fluffing up His wings, looking as magnificent as ever.

He knew that he hadn't been hit by one of the Cupid's arrows, he had fallen madly in love with this Greek God.

Let's just say, things didn't end well for Erebus...

Now, Erebus is desperate to murder both the God and mortal that have been haunting his dreams every night.

The other demons still hold that grudge against Erebus, yes, but they agree with his idea of killing Eros.

However, they would soon take Erebus' life once their task was finished.

All three demons may be vastly different from one another but that didn't matter, they all wanted the same thing but some wanted much more.

Incubus is the youngest of the demons, some women tend to 'sleep' with their eyes open in fear of him engaging in sexual activities with them while they slept.

Aeshma is the second oldest of the demons, he is most prone to succumbing to his rage or anger, he is a demon associated with the religion of Zoroastrianism, this connection has led him to have religious ties to Eros' human counterpart, Freddie Mercury.

The last demon was Erebus, his story has been told a million times, but let's just say, the other demons weren't and still aren't impressed with his pathetic attempts to kill Eros.

After all, in that very moment where he should have gone for the kill, he fell in love with Eros all over again.

He came down with a crazed, psychotic infatuation with Eros all fucking over again!

He should have never transformed back into his mortal form for the eyes of the world to see, Paul Prenter wasn't someone to smile over.

He was now competing with a bloody mortal.

Lily Sullivan.

Just the name left a bad taste in his mouth.

"He isn't happy with you..." Incubus muttered, staring at Erebus.

Erebus knew exactly who Incubus was referring to.

Erebus nodded and began to growl.

"Well, he may do whatever he pleases with me, for I am his loyal servant!" Erebus shouted at the wall in a mocking tone, he didn't care what Satan thought of him and his actions.

"You dare disrespect Satan?!" Aeshma exclaimed, his voice growing higher in pitch.

"YES!! I STILL LOVE HIM!!" Erebus screamed, now facing both demons.

The other two demons shared a look of both horror and disgust.

"I- I still love that God," Erebus murmured. "The winged Cupid who—"

"Oh, be quiet!" Incubus hissed. "He could never learn to love someone like you..."

That stung.
