The Prince of Hell

Chapter 2

Cassie POV

As I walk down stairs letter in hand my mom stops me.

"What is that in your hand!?"

"I don't know, it was sitting on my nightstand, I have no clue where it came from."

My mother's face changes into a state of fear.

"What? Do you know who sent this?"

"Cassie I need you to sit down and listen to me very carefully"

I'm starting to get scared my mother never gets this worked up about anything.

I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch. She walks in behind me and sits directly in front of me.

"Cassie there are some things you need to know, somethings I have been keeping from you, but now that your 16 I'm not sure I can hide it any longer."

"Mom your scaring me what's going on?"

Her eyes start to water and I can tell whatever she's about to say isn't good.

"Cassie when me and your father were younger after we had just gotten married, we decided that we were ready to have a child. But you see, we tried and tried for months, using every herb and concoction the doctors suggested, but I just couldn't get pregnant. After a year of trying we turned to a different method. You see my side of the family are witches."

My eyes go wide as I sit there in confusion.

"What do you mean their witches? Wait does that mean you are? Am I?"

A million questions shoot into my head but I keep quite.

"Yes I am a witch and so are you but I've been repressing your magic since you were born that's why you haven't know it. I wanted you to have a normal life, away from all the craziness of my family. But your 16 now and I think you not knowing is even more dangerous." She starts.

"But that's not all, see us witches worship Lucifer, the devil and when me and your father couldn't conceive a child, we turned to him for help."

"Wait where are you going with this?" I say as I feel my eyes filling up with tears.

"The devil made us a deal that he would gift us with a child but in return he was to be the father.
We were so desperate that me and your father accepted and 1 week later I was pregnant with you."

"Wait hold on a damn minute, your telling me that the Devil, the ruler of Hell is my father ?! No that can't be true, my father was Edward Richards not some red man with horns and a pitch fork!" I say in full on tears now.

"I'm sorry Cassie but it's true, it's time for you to know and be restored with your power. You are 16 now which means he is going to come for you."

"What do you mean come for me? Is that what this letter is about? Is he the one you told me to meet him at our family's lake?"

"Yes child, and you must go. You don't have to go to school today. When did he ask you to meet?" She asked me nervously.

"At 2 o'clock"

"Okay that gives us time to prepare you. You must listen to everything I'm about to say." She goes on.

"Prepare me for what exactly?" I ask

"Hell darling"
