Chapter 25: Father, Im Serious

Damien

And there she was, magnificent as ever.

Something about this empowerment that she feels, this intoxicating drive to be immensely sexy and -

"Everybody get on the fucking floor!" Are you fucking serious?

Bella stayed knelt down, her eyes moving to an unfamiliar man, he was holding two guns, aiming them around like a madman. This is too ironic, too convenient.

Who breaks into a strip joint to shoot it up?

Aze sat back sighing and looked Bella over, "And to think I paid for this." He muttered quietly. I looked to Cerberus who was slowly climbing up onto the stage before he sat between the man and Bella.

Good Cerbs.

Thankfully the Old man wasn't up for joining tonight.

"All of you get on the floor. You three" he pointed to two other girls on the stage before pointing to Bella. "Come with me." He gritted his teeth. Oh this is definitely too ironic. I call bullshit!

You fucking cheater, you can't get in peoples heads! That isn't how this works! I should've known you wouldn't play fair.

'Why can't you ever greet me with a simple hello dad first?'

If he shoots her I'll claim Hell now and drag you to Heavens doorsteps. That or you'll stay in purgatory. Your choice.

'Oh calm down, it's just a bit of light play. I won't let her get hurt.'

Father, I'm serious.

'You really care for this girl don't you?'

Why does that matter? Don't you have souls to sort, traitors to lash and sinners to torture? Don't you have anything better to do then play unfairly? I should've known better than to make a deal with you.

'Fine, Fine. You're such a bore.'

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the place, followed by screams and crying, he just had to make the man shoot himself.

'If it makes you feel better, he was a pervert.'

Oh yeah that makes it much better, thanks. Not like every fucking man in here isn't, I mean we're paying to watch woman.

Bella slowly got off the stage and took the three steps to the edge of the stage. I filled the gap with two large steps and reached up, gently taking her down to me, I let her cling to my shirt as her legs violently shook and she trembled.

"I want to go home." She said softly, her voice so shaky. She's terrified. Damn you Father.

Pulling my coat off the chair, I tossed it over her and led her out with Aze in front and Cerberus behind while I stood beside her.

If anyone can get through a Hell Hound, Prince Of Hell and ancient Fallen Angel, well then they're better fit for her.

'Don't tempt me.'
