The Adventures of the Prince of Edom

As Your Enemy

Betrayal. Anger. Dark magic. Abuse. Hatred. Father's son.

Alec's POV

I whimpered, trying to break free of my restraints. My whole body ached with pain after every beating I received earlier today. It was my fault that Magnus was like this, with his demonic side temporarily taken over. It wouldn't be long now before it became permanent as he continually used dark magic to make myself and my family suffer. I had to witness the death of my sister and my mother.

"Oh, Alexander. How are we doing?" Magnus asked, bringing me back to reality.

"This isn't you," I whispered.

"You don't know the real me, my dear," Magnus grinned.

"I do know you! You're only like this because you're angry that I betrayed you!"

"ENOUGH!" Magnus growled, slapping me. I whimpered. "You're not asking for another beating, are you now?"

"Magnus, please..." I sighed. Magnus just smiled, using his dark magic to hurt me. Trust me, his dark magic was more painful than physically attacking me.

"Maybe I should summon my father. He could put you in more pain than I could. His magic is stronger than mine, after all. But I won't if you cooperate," Magnus laughed.

"Don't give in, Magnus. The one I fell in love with is still in there, I know. Fight back, my love," I whispered, weakly.

"The one you knew is gone. Forever," Magnus growled. I hissed when I was thrown to the floor. Magnus smirked as he began kicking me all over, with each kick harder than the last. He hummed when satisfied, leaving me on the dirty, cold floor as he went to another room most likely to summon his father. I knew who his father was and that's what made me scared. The most powerful prince of Hell with his son would be a nightmare, I could receive any type of torture. With that in mind, I slowly closed my eyes.

Some time later...

Alec's POV

I woke up with a start, not ignoring the fact that I was slapped awake.

"Falling asleep is dangerous, Alexander," Magnus smiled.

"You made me fall asleep. It's not a good idea to make your prisoner weak," I huffed.

"Don't you dare talk to my son like that!" Asmodeus growled, out of nowhere.

"I was pretty sure you would wake up during... various activities, but I was surprised when you didn't," Magnus hissed.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, afraid of the answer of what I kinda expected what I thought it was.

"What do you think I'm talking about?" Magnus growled, confirming my suspicion.

"No.." I whispered.

"Whatever. It's not like you didn't like it or anything," Magnus shrugged.

"Why did you wake me?!" I questioned, making Magnus smile.

"It's time to play a game, Alexander. I hope you don't mess up, otherwise..." Magnus whispered in my ear as he removed my restraints and carried me to a chair in the middle of the room.  I whimpered and hissed when I was blindfolded. "You can do the honors, father"

My heart started beating faster when I felt a hand on my shoulder, which I assumed was Asmodeus's. I whimpered when I was slapped once.

"Alexander, let's visit your happiest memory, shall we? It won't hurt... a lot, probably," Magnus whispered in my ear. I screamed when I suddenly became unconscious.
