" That's how dishonesty and betrayal started, not in big lies but in small secrets."- Amy Tan.

Madison is in the small crowd gathered to listen to the white witch, Michael has been named the new supreme and the warlocks are celebrating, but there's something in the air, something in this place.

She doesn't feel safe.

To be honest since she came back from hell she wasn't sure she felt anything, she wasn't sure this was real either, it could just be a variable of her own hell.

Upstairs Michael Langdon, the pride of the warlocks is also watching, but not the performance but the people around him. He's analyzing them, even the warlocks, he knows they can't be completely trusted.

For the ones lost in the music everything is fine, but for the others, the ones that always wonder more, they all feel the pull of the Supreme's magic when she calls out for Madison.

Madison feels it like Codelia talked in her ear, giving her shivers and making her look back. 

Cordelia's stare is decided, she's talking to her, without another look she starts walking to another room, thinking that their abscense goes unnoticed. But not for Michael, and not for Behold.

Behold goes missing just a few seconds after Madison follows Cordelia, and with his jaw clenched Michael slowly dissapears too.

Ariel is too caght up in his joy, they found the alpha, their Supreme, or so they think.

The shadows welcome Michael as he walks silently towards the room the witches are now talking in, he knows Behold is eavesdropping so he stops a few steps before.

Cordelia has a mission for Madison, he hears. She has to go and collect information about him, he doesn't has to see the paper Cordelia gives her to know where she's headed.

His house, the house he was born in, a house filled with death and dissapointment.

Behold now rebeals itself and joins in for the mission. Seems like Michael will have to get rid of just another warlock.

The shadows welcome him again as he goes back to his place on the second floor.

He's going to wait for Madison to show up, then he's going to convince her to drop it, or he'll make her.

Cordelia is the first one to go back, then Behold, and there's no sign of Madison.

Michael closes his eyes and concentrates on the filament of magic he knows belongs to her, then follows it. He finds her on a bathroom far down the hall.

She's taking deep breaths and staring at herself in the mirror.

"You are hesistating" Michael says standing tall in front of the door blocking her way out. Madison turns to look at him with an scared expression which she quickly hides.

"What are you doing here?"

"You don't have to do this for her... what has she ever done for you?" he starts slowly walking towards her, his voice reverberates though the bathroom making Madison feel like he's everywhere.

"I can do whatever the hell I want" she stands tall and crosses her arms, she will not be intimidated by anyone.

"Don't go there" he stops a feet from her, his head is turned down a little to look her in the eye.

Madison can sense the danger... the dare.

"What do you have to offer?" Madison was open to negociation, what Cordelia said was true, she was only loyal to herself so the best deal would win.

"I can give you anything. I'm the most powerful warlock, witch, magic entity, however you want to call it" he says confidently.

"It's not an offer" she steps close to his face.

"I'm loyal to myself, to the one's winning, you gave me another chance here, true." she changed her weight to just one leg. "But, I'm not willing to change sides just like this. What are you so afraid of me finding out? Do you really have that many secrets?" Michael looks at her lips as she speaks and smirks when she mentions the secrets.

"I'm just warning you to stop digging, don't do this for her, make a deal with me and... you'll see who's winning" an image flashed behind Madison's eyes.

Fame, jewels, clubs, magic and everything she ever wished for. She stepped back blinking to get the images out of her head.

"I'm doing what I want. I'm going to get that information and then, I'll decide if I'm telling Cordelia or if you are worth the pain" Madison said firmly.

She pushed past Michael to get out and their shoulders brushed. He was cold as stone and then hot as hell, his body was oriented towards her and his face looking at her.

"I know you're siding with me, I just wanted to spare you this innecessary trip" he smiled.

"We'll see about that" Madison said and turned on her heels to go back to the living room.

That kid was the weirdest person she'd ever met. Then her mind went back to all the things she ever desired. Fame, money, jewels, clubs... unlimited magic.

Was she willing to believe in Michael and turn her back on the coven or will she stand with them and face him.

The coven didn't even care she had died, they hadn't even been that welcoming since she came back either... but siding with Michael. It seemed easy, she didn't even know what was really happening.

Who the hell was Michael and what was Cordelia so afraid of?

When she knew those secrets, what did she want to do with them?

Satan waited patiently for his son to bring the end of times, watching all the mortals get confused or go on with their lives with no idea what was coming... it amused him.

He had waited long enough for this moment to come, and he trusted his son to fulfill his destiny.

Michael could feel the stare of his father, from every corner, from the fire in the chimney and the burn in his veins... he couldn't fail.

The supreme knew it, in some level at least. Something was coming, someone, and it had to do with Michael.

Since the moment he was born, until now, his only purpose was this.

Bring hell, and it was coming.

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

Hello everyone, how are you? I've missed you a lot.

So this is what hell is coming is going to be about, it's going to be filled with treason, secrets, blood, magic, lust, maybe some love and a lot of angst and crazy moments.

Since this time I'm going with Michael and Madison, and we already know how they are I decided to take this other path with them... I have many surprises planned and I know you'll like them.

If you didn't like they way this chapter is narrated don't worry, it was just for this time, but I liked the idea of an omniprescent narrator for the prologue.

The new season is coming very very soon and until then I offer you this story while you wait for it.

Thanks for reading and all your support.
