Caliban, Prince of Hell

Capítulo 37

I had heard about a spelling book who had been lost for over two centuries, after tried to be used against Lucifer. The last people who had it was a group of powerful witches, but Lucifer found out about their coup and killed them all, getting rid of the book. In one of my many walks around the palace, I had found that book. It contained a dark spell protecting him, and when I touched it, it burnt me. I have to go back and get it, it's the only way I can beat the three kings for good.

"This is a bad plan." Sabrina whispers in my ear.

"I need that book." I explain.

"If they find us here, they will throw us to the dungeons and then we will be useless." She tries to remove me for this terrible plan.

"Brina, you are one of the baddest witch I ever meet, now let's go." I try to motivate her.

We used the rock in Greendale to go back to Pandemonium. Sabrina wasn't very happy with my plan, she wanted us to wait until we were full stretch and then go for the throne, but I know that even with the help of the Greendale witches, the three kings were still a big threat. I wanted to go alone to recover the book but Sabrina didn't let me. And for my dislike, Michael came along.

We enter the castle thru a secret door that I read in some books about Hell, when I was bored of my mind. Thank Heaven I did. We climbed the stairs until the second floor where I had hidden the book, back then I didn't know what it was, so I took precautions and put a glamour spell on it.

Sabrina was outside the room looking out to be sure nobody found out we were here.

"I thought this book was only a myth, never realized it could be real. I guess that's why Lucifer hidden it so well." Michael starts rumble.

"I don't get it." I start saying. "If both you and Lucifer are angels, you must be what? Brothers?"

"Not exactly, we were all created, not born, but we were created in different times, so there are older angels and younger ones. Most of us consider brother the ones who were created at the same time as we." He explains with a smile at his face.

"So, Lucifer is like, an uncle to you?" I ask, a little bit confuse.

"You can call it if it's easier for you." He smiles at me.

"Why did you come to this suicide mission, anyway?" I change the matter.

"I told you, I'm protecting you." He says.

"Still don't get why." I roll my eyes. "I don't need protection from Heaven, they always want something in return."

"And the witches don't?" He smirks at me.

"No." I say, not completely secure about my words.

"That's not entirely truth. You are their Queen and they need your power to have power for themselves. So, their intentions aren't so pure either." He says.

"They are my subjects, so I need to be able to protect them too, and I need power to do that."

"So, why heaven can be a friend of yours too?" He asks, smirking at me.

"Seriously? After what Gabriel tried to do? Married me for power? No thank you, your brother is a real ass." I roll my eyes.

"But we could be friends, my lady. I don't intent to marry you, I'm only here to help you." He comes closer to me.

"When you tell the truth about the real reason you are here, I'll trust you, until then, stop with the excuse you are here to protect me." I get away from him.

"It's not an excuse. I came to Hell to help you."

"Here we go again." I roll my eyes.

"But I may haven't told you everything."

"Well now we are getting somewhere." I say.

"I fancy you." He says and I almost choke.

"What?!" That one I was not excepting.

"You are different from every mortal, demon or angel I've ever met. You have your own light." He continues to talk but I'm only more confused.

"I don't know what that means." I say.

"You will find out." He smiles at me.

I was going to ask him what he meant but I found the book.

"Time to go." I say and leave the room, finding Sabrina still on the lookout.

"You got it?" My best friend asks, looking to the book on my hands.

"Yes, let's go before anyone finds out I'm here." I say and held her hand.

We hold hands and go back to the Spellman's mortuary.

...

The next step of my plan is the dangerous one: the only way to read the book, is by absorbing it. And if it burnt me just by touching, I can't imagine what will do when I try to absorb it.

"Are you sure about this?" Ambrose asks, giving me a concern look. "That book can kill you. After some research I found out the only way to read it is giving a life in return."

"How true can that be? The book was just a myth a couple days ago." I say.

"If a dark book comes with the instruction that may kill you, it probably will." He gives me another look.

"Ambrose, it's the only way I can defeat the plague of kings. The coven is not strong enough to go to hell and fight against them all. It would be a blood bath. I can't ask them to follow me to a probably suicide mission." I say.

"If you know that is a suicide mission, why are you going?!" He raises his arms up.

"Because, that throne is the only thing I have, it's mine, and I won't let anyone take it from me. Less alone Caliban, who betrayed me and hurt me, even if he's being control." I almost shout. I wasn't going down quietly. I would bring hell to Hell itself. "Never underestimate a woman who is mad." I say the last part to myself.

I wasn't a little girl anymore, neither was I a normal teenager, I had to grow up in this last months, so that I could be the Queen the world needed me to be. And now wasn't the time to be afraid.
