Bloody Rose

Chapter 7: Son of a -

Do you know how it feels to realise that you are trapped in a place with no escape? I mean, at least that was how this felt.

The second that girl with Lucifer, me, her, us- whatever you want to call it. The second she turned around, I was pulled into a vortex and taken back to what looked like 7, 981 BC.

I felt the same pull from before but it was a lot stronger this time. It was pulling me towards the unusual scent that I recognised as my own. This time, however, I could feel what I knew was an angel and a presence that was only strong enough to be a god.

I decided after some contemplation that I should follow the familiar pull to see why there was an angel and god speaking to my former self.

I sped off, or at least tried to, but I was not able to use any kind of supernatural speed. So, I decided to use normal human walking. Perfect.

After what felt like hours, I reached some sort of clearing amidst hills made out of rock.

In the middle of the clearing was ten people, nine of which were holograms, and they looked like normal human beings, but I had a feeling that they weren't. Other than those ten, there was an extremely bright and lit up figure that looked as if it had wings. At first I thought it was a man but after a little concentration, I realised it was too feminine to be anything but a woman. Last, but not least, there was some kind of presence that took the form of a human but even from my drastic distance from them, I could tell it was too heavenly.

I ran closer, since it looked like everyone was leaving. By the time I got there, almost everyone had left. So I missed it. I missed what could have been my ticket out of here.

I slumped down to the ground, ready to give up, when I heard the sweetest voice, like bells, thanking the supposed god for letting her children go. I did not understand. Letting her children go from where, or from what?

I looked up at her and saw her being pulled into the ground by some kind of fire in the shape of arms and hands. She looked terrified but also like she was awaiting this punishment and thankful that she got it.

This only made me more confused.

I looked around and saw that there were two other people still here, other than the god and the angel. These two people were myself and Lucifer.

Now I really needed to know what was going on. So, I slowly moved towards them. Eager to find out what the God-like creature was going to say next. But it wasn't him that spoke.

"Where did you take my mother?" I was surprised at the intense anger and sadness laced through my own voice.

I have no memory of this.

I grew up thinking that my mother was dead...and human.

"She was sent to hell as punishment for mating with a demon. The strongest, no less. Well, besides the devil of course." The god's voice was as strong as it was kind. I could feel that it made me - or at least what I thought was me - less concerned about the angel that I now know as my mother.

"She isn't my mother is she." Lucifer asked the god, but it sounded more like a statement.

"Are you asking or telling me?"

"Telling." Lucifer said with a flicker of hatred in his eyes. The god was taken aback. My guess is that no one but the devil had ever spoken that way to him.

"My, my. You really are the devil's son, aren't you?" What? The god looked like he was about to rain hell on Lucifer. And just as he was about to slap him for his disrespect, Lucifer pushed the God a few miles away using his vampiric strength and speed.

I - or my past self - screamed in pain.

Lucifer came to my aid and I could feel and see his love as he caressed my-her cheek.

Oh how I longed to have my Pulcher Lamia look at me that way. But he only has evil in him.

I glanced at the god and saw that he was the one inflicting that pain on me-my past self.

Lucifer must have seen it too because he stood up and with fire blazing in his eyes and threw the god to the heavens, without even touching him.
