Caliban, Prince of Hell

Capítulo 34

I arrive at the throne room to see Caliban sitting there, while holding his arms up high and the court calling his name.

"Caliban, what's going on?" I ask him, as I approach his side.

"Isn't it clear, Princess? I'm taking the throne that is mine by divine right!" Caliban shouts, making the court yelling harder.

"What?" I'm totally frozen in time. I have no idea what is going on. Is this a joke?

"Oh, don't say you do really believe that I was with you for love. It was all a game, to get your throne."

"What are you talking about, Caliban?" I ask him, confused. I understood the words, but they didn't make sense in my head.

"Heaven how naïve can you be. It was all an act. All the long nights sharing a bed. All of it." He spokes. "I'm. Taking. Hell. Over." He says every word slowly, mocking my shock.

I slapped him in the face making him smile at me.

"Take her to the dungeons." Caliban orders the demon guards.

Before they could reach me, I chanted a transportation spell to the near open location and in half of second I was in the middle of the woods of Pandemonium. All alone in the dark. Caliban had betrayed me and yet, the words he said hadn't sink in but when they do, it will hurt like hell, that I'm sure.

I must have wander around about two hours when I finally decided to sit against a tree. I had no idea where I was or what to do. Did Lucifer had anything to do with Caliban's coup? I don't believe so, he despites Caliban. So, where was he when my husband took the throne from me? Maybe hidden in some hole like the coward he is.

I needed to find a way to get my throne back and figure out why Caliban had betrayed me. It didn't make sense. He could have betrayed me a long ago, but he didn't. What was he planning?

I get up and stop whining around and put myself together. I wasn't going down without a fight. I had already lost to much in this lifetime, Hell be damn if its queen would quit so easily.

I walked around the forest probably a few more hours, before the weariness started to kick in. I start to see a bright light, the brightest I have seen in my life. I must be hallucinating because something starts to take form in the light.

A man with black hair, like carbon, and green beautiful eyes starts walking towards me. And then I see it. Wings. Oh Hell no. They must be kidding with me.

"Great. Another freaking angel." I mutter under my breath. "If you come under Gabriel's orders, you can leave now. I have zero patience to heaven's bullshit right now."

He smiles and comes closer to me.

"Hello, Serena Morningstar. Fancy to meet the queen of hell here. My name is Michael."

"I'm really not in the mood for this." I walk past him, with my night gown full of dirt and my knees with scars from the tree brunches.

"Wait." He begs and runs after me, holding my hand. "I'm here to help you. I promise." He says.

"Oh right, because Heaven and Gabriel are my biggest fans." I roll my eyes. Every angel in the damn heaven must despite me.

"Nobody knows I'm here." He says.

"Then why are you here at all?" I ask. If he wasn't here on Gabriel's order or heaven's, I didn't understand he's motive.

"I came because I saw you were in trouble and might need help." He confesses.

"I'm sorry, but who are you again? And how do you know me?"

"I'm Michael, Gabriel's brother. And everybody in heaven know the Queen of Hell."

"Great... But I still don't get what you are doing here. In Hell. Or how did you know I was in trouble for what matters."

"I must admit it, I've been watching you closely since you sent Gabriel back to heaven without Hell's crown. It was fascinating seeing someone refuse my brother's request."

"So, I amuse you? That's it? I'm sorry Michael, I'm not interested in being someone amusement today."

"Forgive me, my lady. I might be expressing myself wrong. I only wish to help you, and I saw you all alone in the forest, and you seemed sad."

"Fine, do you want to help? That help me to find the end of this forest to the portal where I can travel to the human world without anyone feeling my magic."

"Deal." He smiles at me with his gorgeous angel smile and I melt, only wanting to punch him harder.

He retracts his wings, making them disappear. I had to admit it, it was very interesting seeing that.

"So, and where is that magical portal?"

"If I knew where it was, I wouldn't be looking for it through the woods, don't you think?" He lets a snort out. "What now?" I roll my eyes.

"Is everyone in Hell as amusement as you, my lady?"

"No, they tend to cut heads first and then laugh." I sassy-ly answer back. He just stood there and smiled at me. "You are actually liking this, aren't you?"

"I am, indeed. This was the most fun I had over a decade."

"If you think this is funny, you have somethingvery wrong with your definition of "fun"."
