The Rebel

Chapter Seven

We assisted Fredrick to the couch, bandaging his wounds that couldn't fully heal. He still has my blood on his shirt from when I was shot. "There is already a war in Hell." I look sternly at Fredrick, hinting at him to say more and hopefully tell me where Jake is. "When Jake and I went down there was a huge riot; so, we knocked out two creatures and interrogated them. They told us that half the creations want to finally have free range of how Hell runs and expand the limits of their powers."

"Let me guess, to do that they must take Lucifer down?" Nicholas asks, taking a guick glance at me.

"Yeah, and the angels are plan on doing the same thing, but luckily it is being delayed thanks to other creations who are still loyal."

I processed this through my mind but there were still missing pieces in his story. "They also told us that there is a very important demon girl who can stop all this foolishness; it's you Violet." Fredrick stares at me with his bright green eyes that were filled with exhuastion. 

"But how? Where is Jake?" I ask, almost stuttering.

"I don't know we were ambushed and the leader of the creation who wants Lucifer gone took Jake." 

"Who took him?" I ask angrily. I just got my family back I cannot lose him now.

"Well, it wasn't the leader, we don't know who is leading the other creations, but it was, apparently, the leader's second-hand man, Alastor." Hearing that name gave me chills and made me even more pissed of than what I was.

"Alastor? As in the Alastor who tortures and executes people?" Nicholas asks.

"Yep. He must be the one who keeps trying to kill Violet." Fredrick says with confidence.

I pace around the room as my hands begin to shake and I fidget with my fingers. "No, they haven't tried to kill me. Alastor wants me alive." I say, closing my eyes.

"Why would Alastor want you alive?" Fredrick asks, confusingly, and Nicholas put his hands on couch frowning.

"Because I was his fiance."

"What? You were married to that guy, I mean did you actually love him?" Fredrick asks.

"Yeah, I did love him, but it was also an arranged marriage from Lucifer. Let's just say Alastor messed everything up and I had to leave. We need to focus on getting Jake." I say quickly, changing the subject. "Fredrick, we need you to finish healing up because we are going to need your strength."

I pick up the trash from the bandages and pick the papers up, but I begin to feel uneasy. I push the feeling down and go into the kitchen putting the trash on the counter; as the pain begins to feel more intense I grip the counter hard. "Violet? Are you okay?" Nicholas asks, coming behind me I shake my head and I suddenly fall backwards into his arms.

I appear in Hell, standing on the straight platfrom that leads to Lucifer's throne. Fiery red lava is on both sides of the platform and bones are everywhere. I then notice that I am wearing a long black silky dress that drags behind me. I walk down the path, feeling the heat off my sking made it seem real. Approaching the throne, I see someone sitting on the throne, but it's not Lucifer.

"Violet, my love." The voice sounded familiar; after all these years, I could never forget his voice.

"Alastor, you lost the right to call me your. What do you want?" I ask angrily. Alastor stands up, coming closer to me; he's wearing a long black robe and his slick black hair and black eyes still had a charm. "I want you. Don't you miss me?" He asks with a grin; Alastor studies my face and knew the answer. "No? But why?"

"We are not going there. Right now, I am pissed that you kidnapped my brother." His face turns sinister, which sent a chill down my spine. He begins to slowly walk towards me, so I begin to run but he appears right in front of me. Being face to face with him made me freeze, I'm too weak to do anything; he slides my hair behind my ear and then rests his hand on the side of my face. His hand is warm and soft on my skin that sent me into a trance; his other hand slides around my waist and he tilts his head coming towards my lips. I cannot resist what is happening, I just clash my lips into his and I raise my hands to his chest.

I begin to hear footsteps, which causes me to snap out of the trance, I push Alastor back with an angry look. He put me in a trance just so that I could kiss him; I wasn't strong enough to resist him becasue I don't have my powers.

A demon emerges from the shadows; he stands tall, like a soldier, he has a dark brown mohawk, dark jeans with a black tank-top on. He is known as Beleth, but he always preferred to be called King Beleth because he ruled over the creation army. "Well, I didn't know you were inviting guests, Alastor." He says, staring at me. "A very special guest, to be precise." Alastor takes a step-in front of me; he is close to me that his shoulder is touching my cheek.

"You can't hurt her here Beleth, she isn't really here." Alastory says, crossing his amrs.

"I know that, you idiot. We need her."

"For what?" I ask, finally speaking up but Alastor stays in front of me.

"You'll find out, my dear, but I want to test you." I frown angrily and trying to desperately find a way out of here; Alastor's body tenses up. "Move out of the way, Alastor." Beleth says, impatienty but Alastor doesn't move. Beleth puts his hand up, causing Alastor to kneel in pain.

Beleth walks towards me, while Alastor is still in pain on the ground, I want to do something, but I can't move. "What's wrong dear? Can't move?" I give him a cold look, but my attention then goes to the guard coming with Jake, who has no shirt on and is in chains. I try to move again but Beleth puts his arm around my shoulders and walks behind me. "I need to do a test on you first."

Beleth pulls a leather pouch and as he opens it he blows dust in my face. I wave the dust away, but I suddenly begin to feel anger and I am now able to move again. I want to snap Beleth's neck, but something is preventing me instead Beleth whispered in my ear. "Kill Jake."

I walk towards Jake, I try to stop myself, but I can't, I keep going towards him. "Violet, no, please. I'm your brother." He yells desperately and my heart breaks inside, but my anger forced me to go to him; there is a different person inside of me right now. I wrap my hand around his neck, I start to become more terrified as my hands tighten and then I feel a snap.

I return as myself, full of tears and I fall to my knees and his body lands against me. "You will make the perfect soldier." Beleth says with a sinister smile. I look up at him in anger and I begin to charge after him, but he picks me up and slams me down on the ground. Alastor pushes Beleth off me and drags me to him by my shoulder, wrapping his arms around me, my arms are pushed together against his chest. "Violet, Jake is okay, I will help him. You now have this information so use it to save yourself, I love you." He whispers in my ear and gives a light kiss on my forehead.

I can feel myself waking up, but I was shaking from Alastor's grip and trying to grab at Beleth, but I wake up in Nicholas's arm on the kitchen floor. "Violet! Wake up! Are you ok? What happened?"

"I don't know." I respond, breathing heavily.
