Recap:

I felt something soft and realized I was in a bed. Panicked, I shot up, almost immediately I heard a chair move. As if someone jumped up with me. It was to my left and together with that thought I looked to the left to discover I wasn't alone in this room.
No, I was not alone. This person, human I cannot call him, had some aura around him that seemed to radiate power and might. He, if I would compare him to a normal man, looked to be in his forties. There was something dark around him, yet he also had this friendly vibe.

"Finally you are awake miss Rivers. I'm pleased to meet you and finally introduce myself. I'm sir Shetani and before you ask, yes I am Apollyon's dad. And if you want to know where you are at the moment, you are in a room in my house. May I welcome you in chateau Satan."

Present:

Lauren p.o.v

This guy has to be crazy. But on the other side I have experienced so many weird things that thus guy almost looks normal.

"So you are the father of Apollyon? And you are Satan?" I asked. He nodded.

"I know this sounds a little crazy but you have, like you said, endured more weird things than meeting me. The Devil."

"What do you know about me?" This is getting creepy for me.

"I know you since you were born. I was a friend of your father but then they came and I had to break al contact with everyone here." He answered.

"And what has that to do with me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Your dad wrote a letter, yes?" I nodded. "And he mentioned someone in it who would come check on you this week?" I began to get a feeling as to where this conversation was leading. "Well, I was the guy he meant. I don't know how he knew where he could find me but somehow he found me."

"Did he know you were...you?"I asked still a little hesitant.

"Yes and no. He knew I wasn't human but he didn't know what or who I was. But you need to know: I have no bad intentions. We, me and my people, are actually ready to protect you against the angels."

"Why would I need protection from you against the angels?" I was confused. Why would I need protection against the angels from the demons and not protection against the demons from the angels? Hmm...

"Well this is a long story but I will try to explain. But first aren't you hungry? You have been out for two days."

"Really!? But now you say it I'm actually a bit hungry." I jumped out of the bed. Or at least tried to. I would have fallen out of my bed if Satan hadn't caught me.

"You will have to watch your movements. You have been out for two days and because of that you're a disorientated. Watch out with quick movements and walk, don't run, to places you want to go." He informed me. He helped me stand and gave me some black flip-flops. He guided me to the door.

"I feel like an old lady with how slow I'm walking and needing your help." I couldn't help but pout when I said this. Now I knew how the old ladies felt when walking but then again I was out for two days.

"If anybody should feel old, it would be me. I am almost as old as the earth." Satan laughed.

"You sure don't look that old. You seem to be in your forties."

"I thought this age would be calming for you when you woke up. I can 'transform' myself in whatever age I want. I can also change in some animals." He said proud.

At that moment the door opened...

"Is she awake yet?" Apollyon said walking in. He seemed concerned.

"Yeah, I'm awake. Can I ask you something later?" I asked, thinking about what happened before I woke up here.

"Yes, of course. I think we have a lot to discuss. Are you oka..."

"You can talk later, now we have to get food for our guest. We wouldn't want her to starve. Would we?" Satan interrupted. "Did Pandora make something already?"

"Yes, dad, she made lunch for us and Lauren." Apollyon answered him.

"Okay then lets go everybody is hungry especially Lauren. I think but knowing you, you can be competition. You are always hungry Apollyon."

We went downstairs, many times. This place was huge! Every hallway we passed was at least a football field long.

As we got closer to where I presume the kitchen was, because of the delcious smell of food, we walked past people who greeted Satan and Apollyon and gave me a curious look. People that were demon-like, I saw one that looked like a lizard with long sharp teeth and dark blue scales, a 'lady' with snake hair and the lower body from a deer. The upperhalf of her body was covered with an armor where this weird symbol was printed on. It looked to be some sort of dragon.

Eventually we reached the kitchen. It was huge! Suddenly someone squealed and I felt like I was bring choked. Two arms were giving me a powerful hug that nearly suffocated me.

"Pandora you may want to let her go. You are suffocating the poor girl." Satan laughed.

I felt one last tight hug and then I was released. I looked to my right to see a beautiful woman with rainbow colored hair. Only her hair looked naturally colored. Her eyes were golden and she wore a black classy dress.
She is really beautiful!

"Thanks sweetie, Satan can I keep her???" the woman, Pandora, asked him.

Then I realised that I said she was beautiful, I didn't just think it.

"I don't think Apollyon would be happy with that and she is not a pet..." Satan laughed, looking at Pandora, Apollyon and me.

At that she pouted and gave Apollyon an angry look.

"I hate you!" she exclaimed, giving him an even angrier look.

"Pandora, where are your manners?!" A voice boomed from the other side of the kitchen. We all looked towards the source of the voice and saw a lady with raven black hair. Are all women here beautifull or what?

"Is that her? Are you Lauren?" she asked, looking towards me.

"Yes I am Lauren, madam." She was intimidating due to wich I replied like a soldier. I almost saluted to her.

"You can call me Lilith, dear. I'm in charge of the house and Satan is my husband, Apollyon our son." she smiled.

"Okay, okay, mum don't you think she is hungry? Aren't you?" Apollyon said.

"Yes, just a little bit."

Grrrmblllll....

Just at that moment my stomach seemed to have the urge to speak for me.

"Maybe more than a little bit..." I said blushing and looking down to my feet. The floor is nice. Marble with golden veins that seemed to flow and glow. Hehe, flow and glow, that rimed! My feet are so tiny, my toes look so weird... Oh look a snake... A SNAKE!

"Holy fudge, why does the snake glow?" (S)he was glowing a reddish blue color.

"Ah, that's Serpentius. He is, what you would call him a mail delivering pigeon. And that heis glowing red means that he has an urgent request. Lets see, what does he has to say..." Satan answered, getting more serious with the second.

He looked Serpentius in the eyes and then the snake began to speak: Master, the matter is urgent as you can see. A group of Angels have attacked the gate in Dallas. For now we can manage to hold them back but reinforcements are required. We heard them say one thing: 'She is ours, she is from us, she is claimed, give her back or we will fight you till the death and after. Gabriel has chosen her, to him she will belong. To us will victory be. We know you have her, we know you have the daughter of the human Jack Rivers and fae Elizabeth Fortunis, we will get her.' We need your help now... I need to go... They have found my hiding spot... Remember I fought with pride for you my king, my friend. Farewell!

And then the message was done, everybody silent until Satann roared throughout the house. "Everybody who has killed at least one Angel come to the door. We will protect our people, we will fight, we will kill and we will win against those bastards!"
