The Devil's Office

5: Getting Lost In A Big House

          As Anato escaped the library and out of Mammon's grasp, she quickly walked along the hall way while looking back in fear Mammon following. Without realising Leviathan who was busy reading is coming towards her. He look up to see Anato and instantly closed his book, he hold his hands from the back. Then Anato collided onto him. "Ah!" She said and bounce back. "You look like you've seen a demon. " He said. "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you." She apologized. "It's a joke." He said in a cold expression. "W-what?" she said stuttering. Then he chuckled. "I'm just kidding. Are you okay?" He asked with gentle eyes this time. "Yeah, I'm okay. I-i was just going for a jog." she said. "In the hall way?" He asked sounding really dumbfouded. She nodded. "Okay then, that's a weird way of exercising, but you do you." He said. Then his eyes averted behind Anato. "Hello Brother." Leviathan said and smiled. "Ah!" She shrieked and collided on him again. "Calm down." He said while holding her shoulders. Slowly, she turned behind to see no one. "Was that another joke?" She asked, still shocked. "No. I was just wondering why you're scared of my brother." He said. "I-I'm not scared." She answered. "Then? Did something happened?" He asked. "It's nothing. I should be going now." She said and walked away. Then he grabbed her arm and pulled her back in front. "Did Mammon touched you?" He asked. "No!" She exclaimed. He chuckled. "The only demon who knows how to hair dress is Mammon. Judging by your beautifully braided hair. " He said. She touched her hair, then sighed. "It was my fault. I slept in his room, but I didn't knew he would come back." She confessed. "So you slept with him." He said. "Yeah." She agreed. "Well then, technically the person who reassured you to sleep in Mammon's room is the fault." He said. "Besides, it was Mammon's choice to sleep with you. Without your consent, he could've just woke you up. So the true victim here, is you." He said. She kept quiet. "See, don't worry about it. But since Mammon touched you, Lucifer needs to know about this right away." Leviathan said and walked away. "W-wait!" She said and stopped in front of him. He looked at her. "I don't think it's necessary." She said. "So you're saying, a demon sleeping with you without your consent is not wrong?" He said. "No, I don't mean it that way. I mean, I don't want to cause trouble for anyone in this house. So for this time, I'll let it slide." She said. "I see what you mean, and that's awfully kind of you letting a demon sleep with you. Perhaps you would like to sleep with me tonight?" He said. "W-what?" She asked. "You'll let it slide either way, so just sleep with me for tonight. Or should I sleep with you?" He ask. "I-i--" "--I wanna feel how Mammon felt as well when sleeping with a beautiful creature such as you." He said as he went nearer and touching her hair. "Stop!" Anato exclaimed in anger. He instantly stop moving. She sighed. "I understand what you're trying to say, but I would like that you don't mention anything to Lucifer about this matter. Or I'll tell him myself what you're trying to do to me awhile ago. " She said. He smiled. "I'm quite surprised you have the guts to say that to me, and I respect that." He said. "Now, if you'd excuse me. I have somewhere to be. See you tonight. " He said and walked away. Anato looked at him, feeling irritated.

           Anato, who didn't know what to do. Began wondering around the gigantic house with no clue where she's heading. As she head straight along the hall ways, she felt as if she's going in a circle. Similar to a hamster spining in a wheel, there's no ending. She stopped and looked behind, it became narrow as it was no ending or beginning of these hallway. Where am I?  She thought. Then she realised that a door was placed right beside her. Slowly, she approached the door and open it. It was a garden, the same garden she passed with Lucifer yesterday. She entered the room whilst observing the beauty of the flowers. She then sat down on the ground and leaned over. Slowly, she shut her eyes. It was a sheer joy that sparked inside her heart, as if she's alive once more. Then she open her eyes. "Hello. " Asmodeus, who appeared out of nowhere smiled at her. She quickly sat up and backed away. He chuckled. "W-why are you here?" She asked. "That's my question to ask actually." He said and sat up. "Let me guess, you're lost right?" He asked. She slowly nodded. "I mean, I find it odd as well. How did you entered my office without me." He said with a questioning face. "But anyways, that's not my business to matter. Since you're here, I would like to take you on a tour to my favourite collection." He said and smiled.

          As they went out of the garden, they transported to a bedroom. Anato stopped. How did I.. "We have the authority to go to rooms we desire, but only in this house." He said and smiled. "Welcome to my chamber!" He said and rise his hands to the air. Anato observed around, there were statues of naked women arranged along the path. As they went forward, a red bed with flower petals was placed at the center of the room. "You should be honored, because you're the first person invited by myself to see my beautiful collections." He said and sat on the bed. "Oh, has nobody seen your collection yet?" She asked. "Nope, I would never allow any of them to even come inside my room. Because, they're such a prankster and so vulgar. I hate it, so much." He said with complete annoyance in his face. "Even Lucifer? Or Leviathan?" She asked. "Lucifer is another case, he has zero interest in my hobby. Leviathan must never be inside my room, he's the true mischief of them all. You see, he may seem like the most mature out of the youngest but no. Don't ever forget this, if he seem like he wants to help you. Refuse or just ignore him, he has quite a stingy hands." He said. "Why?" She asked. "Because, he hasn't sort out his jealousy. Always want the things he doesn't have. So stupid. I'm quite surprised how he felt jealous about me, Mammon and Lucifer working. He's so desperate." He said. "So why do you invite me?" She asked. "I've been meaning to show my collection for a long time, a hobby is nothing if you can't flaunt it." He said. "Anyway, have a look at my photo collection." He said and brought out an album. Anato sat beside him. "This is Madonna. My favourite woman out of all humans." He said, then he went to the next page. "And this is Jennifer Lopez, the second woman I adore." He said. "You're an amazing collector." Anato said. "Really? Do you think I am?" He ask. "Yeah, I mean you truly adore your stuffs." She said. "I think so too." He said and smiled. Then he continued to show Anato photos.
