The Devil's Office

3: Blackout

          As they arrive at the main hall, clanking noises can be heard echoeing across the hall way. Is he even cooking? Anato thought. Satan chuckled as they stopped in front of the kitchen. "You can't blame the way he cooks." He said. Then they entered the kitchen. "Brother!" Satan called. A man was busily cutting vegetables and preparing the pan. He suddenly stopped. "Why is a woman here?" The man spoke with seriousness in his tone. Satan looked at Belphine as he smiled mischievously. "It is I, your sister. Belphine." She exclaimed. "I don't have a sister--" The man turned around to look at them. "--Belphegor!" He suddenly switched to a bright child. Belphine opened her arms to welcome his hug. "Glad to see that your experiment worked!" He said in excitement. "Of course it did, never underestimate my powers okay!" She said and smiled widely. "What? You knew?!" Satan asked in full wonders. "Yes, she told me before entering hiatus for 70 years." Beelzebub said. "The others also knew about this." He added. "Seriously? Why am I the last to know?" He said by himself. "That's because you are the last one to ask people. Don't you know they asked me personally?" Belphine said. "Wow, that's not fair. " Satan said in disappointment. "Anyway, looks like another broken soul arrived." Beelzebub said as he looked at Anato. "Hi. "She smiled nervously. "She's cute. Looks like Asmodeus' type of girl he would lust on. " Beelzebub said and smirked. "Hey, don't think so lowly of our brother." A man said from the door. They turn to that man. "Leviathan!" Belphine said and hugged the man. "You look so gorgeous, I'm kinda jealous." He said. "Thank you." Belphine smiled. Leviathan patted her head and looked behind them. "So are we eating fire tonight?" He asked. "What?" Beelzebub said and turned around to see the pan that was heated from before was already on fire. "Sh!t!" He shouted and splashed the fire with water. It dispersed into smokes. "Don't worry guys, the problem is solved." Beelzebub reassured. All the sudden, something exploded behind the stove and the electricity went out. Everything was pitch black. "Great job brother." Satan said with an obvious disappointment.

         They gathered at the living room. "I'll go check out the energy room to see if I could fix this blackout." Satan said and walked out of the room. Then silent befall, it wasn't awkward but the suspenseful type of quietness. All the sudden, Anato felt something wrapping around her waist and a breath gushing near her neck. Anato couldn't move or speak as if her body was controlled. Then Leviathan shun the flashlight towards Anato. "Lucifer isn't going to like you doing things to his broken soul." He said. "Wait, she's one of Lucifers?" The man behind Anato asked. Then they all turned to look at Anato. "Asmodeus! What the hell are you doing to her?!" Belphine shouted and pulled Anato towards her. Then Anato felt as if a ton of weight just flew off her shoulder. She looked at the man. "Sorry, don't tell Lucifer okay." Asmodeus smiled and put his hands behind him. Anato glared at him. "She's definitely telling him." Beelzebub said and chuckled. "Please don't tell him okay, I'll give you one of my naked statue collection." He said and hold her hands. "Don't touch me and I won't tell him. " Anato said sounding really mad. "Okay okay, I will never touch you again." He said and backed away. "That's it my girl!" Belphine cheered. "Wow, that's the first time Asmodeus offered one of his favourite collection." Beelzebub said. "That's good to know that he values his life more than his stuffs. " Leviathan said. "Shut up, anyway where is Satan?" Asmodeus asked. "He went to check out the problem."Belphine said and sat down. All the sudden, electricity came back. "Great job Satan!" Beelzebub shouted.

          After they had their dinner, Satan showed Anato where she'll be spending her rest at temporarily. "This used to be Mammon's room before he was so busy with work and never came out of his office." Satan said. "So it's still his room?" Anato asked. "Well technically yes, but no at the same time. It's been 300 years since he last step his room. So I'll doubt he'll come back today. " He said. Anato felt uneasy sleeping in another person's room. "Hey, don't worry. It's just temporary, tomorrow I'll show you your actual room. I just need to clean up that place." He said. "Okay then." Anato said. "If you need anything, you can call me by your heart." He said. "Does it work like that?" She asked. "Yup, just say my name and I'll come by over. " He said. "Only you?" She asked. "Well actually, everyone of us can hear it from miles away but I'll be the one who'll come. Just say my name okay?" He said. She nodded. "Well then, enjoy your stay." He said and closed the door. She observes the room. It wasn't much stuff inside, just a big and wide bed placed near the window and a closet. She went near the bed and leaned over as she looked outside the window. Slowly she swept away in slumber. After a few hours, Anato was sleeping comfortably. All the sudden, someone entered the room. It was a man. "Who the hell is this?" The man spoke as he went near the bed. He looked at Anato, then gently sweeps her hair off her face to look at her. "She's beautiful." He said. He then went to his closet and began to strip naked. He took the shorts and wore it. Then he turn to Anato. "This is the first time I'm sleeping with a woman, but I guess it's your lucky day." He said and chuckled by himself as he hangs the suit he wore. He closed his closet and walk towards the bed, as he leans he stared at Anato in fear of waking her up. He succeeded and leaned comfortably. All the sudden, Anato turn over towards him. He froze. "You're scary. " He whispered. He calmed down and stared at her face. "Whoever you're under with, he's very lucky to see your beautiful face. While I'm stuck with a guy who can't seem to obtain his memory." He whispered. He continued to stare at her. "You make a great piece of art." He said. Slowly the man falls asleep.
