A.N. This chapter is a little disturbing, I suggest you don't eat while reading it. Since Helen wanted tp be helped by a demon to get revenge, here's the actual "satisfaction" to have from this wish. At the beginning I concentrated more on the relationship between Lucifer and Helen, but now things have to take a horror turn for a little while. The music is from a series of games I adore. I hope there are fans among you who heard about it! If not, I'll just be happy you like the story! Thank you!

Who says the world is not at our feet? I have everything! After these experiences I can do what I want, no matter the cost. Leviathan showed me The Fallen were involved in the death of my father. Not Zach's group (apparently there are more of these guys than I imagined), but some lunatics who stayed hidden for many years. I traveled in their village, something called "Y" – as bad as that sounds it's actually the name. It's somewhere on the Alcatraz Island (San Francisco Bay Area), hidden under the catacombs. How I discovered that? Well, I have a demon as a friend. So, I organized a summer trip to Alcatraz with my colleagues from school, Melissa included. We traveled in a very nice ship, that had a pool. I was the only one to swim in it. I don't know why... the others said that it was cold and the wind was blowing too heavy, but I had to cool down. Too much demon possession makes me nervous.

I didn't have much time to disappear, so I blended in the crowds and through the prison of this not-very-welcoming place to some corridors where visitors weren't allowed to.

"Wow this is beautiful..."

"And you say I am cruel." Leviathan said as I touched the bars from the cells, the rotten metal; the smell of loss and suffering made me a little melancholic, but at peace. I think it's the living that scares me mostly, rather than the dead. It's not a normal feeling, I get that, but since I've had this company with me everywhere, I appreciate a little silence, even if it's in historical death.

Speaking of death, I wouldn't know to tell you if ghosts are real, I have only seen supernatural forces and flesh. I have never seen a ghost. And what is a ghost, anyway? A memory of a broken life that repeats itself until someone notices? That's just too boring. But enough with entities that might be afraid of me!

From a corridor I never realized how I got there, I went straight to the cell number sixteen, from the left side, I opened the door with a special key which I have no idea how Leviathan got a hold of, and like a monster, I went under the bed, meaning: the door lead to a subterranean passage. I'd expect spiders, bugs, mice, bats, whatever creatures that would make me scream. But instead I found the tunnel clean, without a single drop of misery (yeah, that's a little metaphoric, too) and I trusted Leviathan and let him guide me through the darkness.

I'm not sure if the place I got to is actually called a village. There were many labyrinths illuminated with torches that would burn from side to side until you lost sight of their end. I could hear incantations from far away.

"They are praying." My demon told me.

"To whom?"

"I don't know."

"I thought you knew everything."

"I do know everything, it's just that... the entity they are praying to doesn't exist."

"What's it called?" I was curious.

"Yyaan."

"What does it mean?"

"It has something to do with Ying and Yang. They represent it as a white wolf, with two heads, red eyes and red wings. It symbolizes half God, half Devil. That thing just doesn't exist in any of the worlds." The demon explained.
