Chapter 10: Dinner by Candlelight

While at the palace, you didn't need to worry about your diet. Lucifer handled everything for you, the chef's cooked it and it had always been a wonderful treat. Yet now, you were living at the hotel with Charlie. A place that you don't even think had a functioning kitchen, let alone dining area; something you added to your list.

So with a quick and awkward explanation as to where you were headed, you were off. Ringing the little bell to take the limo down to the seventh circle, like hell you were flying there, after the whole news station incident you didn't have the energy. The limo drove up to the hotel, its door opening automatically. Closing behind you once you were in.

"Seventh circle please," taking your seat on its plush cushion, it started driving. Within minutes it had stopped, the door popping open, "thank you." Getting out and finding yourself in the middle ring of the seventh circle.  The limo driving off back to wherever it usually stayed, something that still remained a mystery to you. Tall trees with a resemblance to those of willows, their low hanging branches swaying in a light breeze.

Taking in a deep breath, the air smelled of damp leaves and dirt a nice little detail that made you relax. Your feet sinking into the ground a bit as you walked, listening to the sounds of nature around you. The cicadas, a splash of water from the alligators, the sound of Charlie Chaplin.

Pausing in your nature walk, you listened in closer. Sure enough, the music playing had been closer than you thought. At this rate, any deer in the area would be gone, it was no wonder you hadn't seen any. Finding yourself drawn to the sound, you had to admit whoever had planted themselves in the middle of a forest to play music, did have a nice taste.

Stumbling upon a strange sight, it was the Radio Demon. Sitting at a little table, his staff placed in the ground. It must be nice having music related powers. You thought about just taking his staff, then you could listen to music whenever you wanted. It would make a nice memento, a little trophy always made you excited for the big target's Lucifer assigned you. Though the Radio Demon would be your personal first big target, that would make getting that staff so much more memorable.

"You know, it's rude to stare." You wanted to say you weren't, but you couldn't bring yourself to do so. His red eyes glowing dangerously, he clearly didn't like people interrupting what seemed to be a little break of self-indulgence. Away from the usual events of Hell.  

"Say's the one just sitting in a forest, why are you even here anyway?" Huffing out the reply, "I'm starting to think you're following me." Feeling a bump against your leg, it was a doe. Petting her head, more followed her actions.

"I think you're following me, my dear." He stood, tucking the chair in and heading your way. The small herd gathering behind you, away from him, just like you wanted to do. A buck came from the forest, heading towards them. Summoning your gun and aiming behind the demon standing before you. Taking a quick shot before it could run.

"You missed me." Ignoring his insult you pushed past him to your catch. Something you hunted that wasn't a demon, no wonder your husband liked this so much. Lifting it by the horns your heart swelled, it made sense why your father kept all of those trophies of his.

You had absolutely no idea what to do after killing it though. It seems you didn't have to worry about it because it started to melt before your very eyes, nothing but the horns in your hands remaining. Why didn't you think of that before you shot it? You knew that demons melted away and all but you didn't think the natural wildlife would.
