Demon |Book 1 (Editing in progress)

Chapter 29

Disclaimer: I have used some ideas from the Percy Jackson series for this chapter- only for the way the underworld is set up. Thank you for reading!

Seth's POV

''It's lovely to meet you, Prince Seth. I'm Alva Amari.''

He flashed me a soft smile, deep dimples appearing on his honey skin. His violet eyes were looking elsewhere... I couldn't help but frown.

''How did you become blind, if you don't mind me asking...'' I asked, sitting down on the floor next to him. He turned his body towards me, which allowed me to inspect him further. He wore a gold choker around his neck, a long necklace dangling down his chest. He wore a silk purple button up, which was buttoned up partially.

''When I was younger... one of the demons took me from the castle without Lucifer's knowledge. They brought me out in front of the rest of them... they went on about how I was too handsome to be one of them. So... they blinded me.'' He explained. He was rather handsome... his white hair laid messily in his face, his eyes were a soft violet. With every word he spoke, his dimples shown proudly on his honey skin.

''Well... Jaxon here could make you see again. When we return to the surface we will grant you your vision back, okay?'' I said to him. A smile lingered on his lips as he nodded his head. I couldn't help but notice Jin sitting next to him- He was gazing at Alva with a faint blush on his face. I have to admit... Alva was pretty handsome... I can't blame him.

''Are you guys leaving now?'' My father asked, sadness lingering in his voice. I mean... what else was there here? Hell isn't particularly the best place to be... I knew he was lonely, so maybe we should stay for a bit longer...

That's when I remembered... my mother is most likely here.

''Is... is mom down here?'' I asked my father. He seemed to freeze, gazing down at me with a blank expression. I knew that their relationship wasn't the best... maybe I shouldn't have asked.

''Would you like to go see her?'' He asked me. I didn't really know what I wanted... I wanted answers maybe.

I gazed over at Jaxon. He had a soft smile lingering on his lips as he gazed at me... a look that said I should.

''Yeah... I think that's for the best.'' I whispered to Lucifer. He nodded his head, extending his hand down to me. I took it gratefully, pulling myself off of the floor.

''We will return, everyone. Help yourself to tea and snacks.'' Lucifer said with a smile. I looked back at Jaxon. Before I could say a word, his deep voice rang in my ears.

''It's okay, Angel. I'll be here when you come back.'' He reassured me.

------------------------------------------

Lucifer and I walked down the castle stairs in silence... well, the silence between us. The demons were cheering my name relentlessly.

''Hm... they may be loud, but I'm glad they are doing it for a good purpose. Usually, they are fighting each other...'' Lucifer said to me.

Hell... or the underworld as you may say wasn't that cheery. There were dead trees surrounding the whole castle, the natural lighting was a deep red. Demons gazed at us with fear in their eyes... and slight confusion.

I immediately heard the crunching of dead leaves as we ventured east of the castle. I didn't particularly know how hell worked... was my mother really suffering in the hot fire? Because of my birth?

''Um... dad?'' I asked him. I watched as a faint blush came to his face, a soft smile lingering on his lips. I don't really call him dad often I suppose...
