The Devil's Brother

Ch.30

Sorry about the ending of last chapter lol. Wattpad seemed to save the sentences I deleted instead of saving my edits 🙄. I went through and edited it so it makes sense now aha.

🖤🖤🖤
Kratos

"Lerry be careful." I whispered roughly.

Lerry crawled into the open aisle and made his way around to our cages.

"Get her." I demanded as soon as Lerry even looked at my cage.

I could recover from anything Hades and Lucifer through at me. Ivy?

She's strong but not that strong.

"But Kratos-"

"Get her. If you have time you can get me." I flashed Lerry a genuine smile.

If my sister lived, I'd get him out of here and a one way ticket to Heaven.

"Fine." Lerry huffed and began to break out Ivy.

He didn't have keys so he mad to make do with what he had. Which was bones. And a lot of them,

"Got it!" Lerry cheered after what seemed like years of trying.

"Good! Get her out of here." I gripped onto the bars and watched Lerry back track.

"I can't. She's too big," Lerry closed the cell door.

"Lerry. Try!" I sat up in my cage and glared at him through the bars.

"I can't. I'd kill us all. I can't do that again. Take this," he handed me the bone key.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING OUT OF YOUR CAGE?" The guard yelled as Lerry backed into the wall.

"I'm s-sorry s-sir. I smelled a mortal." Lerry held up his hands in defense.

I watched as the guard interrogated my friend, wishing I could help. But I could without stirring up commotion. I will not risk killing us both.

"Get back in your cage." The guard shoved Lerry forward and he stumbled to the floor.

"Get up cyclops!" The guard bellowed and kicked Lerry.

"I'm g-going." He hiccuped. Lerry picked himself off the floor and slowly walked to the other aisle.

"Can I get a new cage? For my last day,please?" Lerry asked kindly.

"We don't have any available." The guard replied, stone cold.

Lerry was trying to buy Ivy and I more time.

"I see one up there." I followed Lerry's finger to a cage hanging from the high ceiling.

"Really?" The guard asked and Lerry smiled brightly.

If he went up there I wouldn't be able to get him. I'd have to come back.

But if he's truly a part of the feast tomorrow, if there's a feast, I wouldn't have time.

"Fine. Let's go, One eye." The guard grabbed Lerry's slimy arm roughly and dragged him towards a door on the far wall.

I took the key he made and shoved it into the lock on my cage.

It opened with a click and I slid out. My legs felt shaky but I suppose that's what happens when you've been sitting for hours.

"Ivy, I'm gonna get you out of here," I whispered as I opened her cell.

"Kratos, where are we?" Her eyes were heavy but they were slightly opened.

"Don't worry about that. We'll be home soon." I smiled and pulled her out of the cage.

She was cold to the touch but that was expected in the Underworld.

Mortals never did too well down here.

"Hold on,Ivy."

Paimon

"Well shit," I watched as Hell fell into total chaos in front of me. Demons who were once caged are now roaming free.

I took a step forward in the blood covered field. Body parts laid scattered about. Horns, Tails, and even finger nails included.

What happened down here?

I needed to find Aosoth. She would help and fill me in on what happened down here.

It could be as little to somebody put too much salt in poor Lucifer's soup. Which, honestly was a possibility. Last time somebody screwed up his meal, he had half of the slaves decapitated.

And then half of the servants.

I made my way around the large stone wall. It had always been my favorite part of the castle. My father and I built it together years ago.

It was the first time we had a real talk. I'd hold it dear to my heart forever.

Blood curdling cries could be heard from inside the wall and sometimes outside when a head is punted over the wall.

There was a massacre going on and I needed to get Aosoth and get out.

🖤🖤🖤
Lucifer

"Calm down, Hades. We will get her back." I tried to calm the irrational beast in front of me.

Which is strange as I'm usually the one freaking out. But today I managed to keep my heat to a low boil.

"Lucifer, I love you, but tell me to calm down one more fucking time and I swear to Christ I will have you beheaded." Hades gripped onto the table and closed his eyes.

Hades couldn't give two flying fucks about Persephone, but his powers?

They were what kept him and the underworld alive. Without those, he was practically mortal.

"Fine. But you need to leave. Several demons have already escaped and chaos is taking shape in the court yard. I've spent far too much time helping you fix your kingdom I forgot about mine." I shook my head sadly and looked out the large window.

"What? You're not gonna help me?" Hades shot me a dark glare.

"I tried. This is something you need to do on your own though." I shrugged.

I couldn't focus on Hades any longer. I still needed to find Paimon and drag his skinny ass back here.

Then I needed to round up whatever is left of the prisoners.

"Fine. Go fuck your self then,Lucy." Hades spat and stormed out of the dining hall.

Now that that's settled, I can try to track down Paimon.
