We place Nick in the academy dungeons, bound and chained by damascus steel and circled in salt with candles burning around him.

We're at Dr. Cerberus's. We sit at the biggest booth because there's 5 of us.

"So, what happens next?" Roz asks.
"We get Lucifer outta' Nick's body and into some other body." I reply.
"No... I meant with you.. Now that your, you know, Queen of Hell." Roz asks.
"Well, umm... you know that was only to bring Nick back. I mean, I'm obviously not moving to Hell." I say.
"Bri, the fact you just said that makes me think.." Harvey says before everyone else joins him, "... you're moving to Hell..."

"I'm not! I'm not moving to Hell... I may have to play the part for a bit, but, my heart's not hellbound. It's with you guys, and Baxter high and the academy. Infact, 'Brina, Roz and I should sign up for Cheerleading." I explain

"Seriously!" Roz exclaims.
"Most definitely!" I say.
"Thank you, Bri. You saved me. I don't deserve you." 'Brina says.
"You're my best friend, 'Brina." I says

"But, things were getting a little hot a heavy between you and Caliban..." Sabrina squeals.
"The best the guy can do is litteraly smirk... okay, I'll admit, it's a tiny bit hot but-"
"You still think it's hot though!" Roz says happily
"No, I don't!"
"Yes, you do. You admitted it!" Roz says.
"Whatever. All he freakin' does is smirk and wink." I say.
"He winked!" Sabrina exclaims.
"Oh, for Lilith's sake!" I groan.
We all laugh.

"I swear if he hurts you." Harvey says.
"Don't worry, he won't. BECAUSE WE WON'T BE TOGETHER!" I exclaim in a happy way, "Awwww! Harvey's like my older brother!"
"You better get used to it!" Harvey threatens but in a loving way. I giggle.

"Even though, I'm not Queen of Hell. A friend once told me it can't be all Hell all the time, sooo a toast, to Bri." Sabrina exclaims.
"To Bridget Nightingale. Cheerleader by day, Queen of Hell by Night!" Harvey toasts and we all click our milkshakes before taking sip of it and getting interrupted by the door open loudly.

I'm at home now. I haven't looked my parents in the eye. I can't tell them I'm Queen of Hell. But I have to. I can lie, but not to my parents. All of a sudden, I see Caliban behind me.

"What are you doing, Caliban!" I ask.
"Nothing, can't a guy see his girl once in a while?" He asks.
"One. I'm not your girl. Two. You're not even supposed to be here. Three. I didn't ask you to come here." I say boldly

He walks towards me, step after step, and after every step he takes closer to me, I walk backwards in sync. Until I'm on the wall. He presses his body on mine.

"Scared, Princess?" He asks.
"In your dreams. Salior." I smirk.
"Have you told your parents yet? I'm sure they'll be very pleased to know that their daughter is Queen of Hell." He questions, knowing it'll catch my off-guard.

"What do you want, Caliban?" I ask, frustrated.
"A kiss would suffice..." He says.
"Why don't you go back to Hell and kiss one the pillows you sleep with, huh," I say confidently. I try to walk away but he pulls me back and kisses me. I push him away.

"Caliban! You just mouth-raped me!" I shout.
"I can give you another, or you can tell your parents.." He says playing around with stuff in my room. He walks closer to me.

"Alright! I'll tell them!" I groan loudly, "I can't believe you're blackmailing me!"

He smirks.

"Stop smirking!" I ask, annoyed.
"Why? Afraid to admit you like it, Princess?" He smiles.
"No, it's just... how do I put this lightly... ANNOYING!"
"Stop avoiding the obvious, tell them.." He whispers.
"Fine!" I smile through my teeth as I say this.

I go downstairs.

Downstairs

"Bri, you're just in time for supper!" Mom squeals. It's been a while, I just play around with my food. We finish eating and Dad sits watching some telly and Mom is just meal-prepping. Caliban walks down.

"Still haven't told them, Princess?" He asks, everyone looks at him and they drops their things.

"Who is this?" Dad asks.
I look at Caliban and give him a death stare.

I grin through my teeth and say, "This is Caliban,.... The prince of.... Hell...."
"Good joke!" Dad laughs.
"Are demons always this stupid or is it just your father?" Caliban asks.
"Shut up, Caliban!" I say.

"I have something to tell you guys." I say nervously.
Mom and Dad look at me before I say, "I'm.... Queen of Hell..."
"Bridget, if this is a joke-" I interupt Mom.
"It's not, plus, did you guys know that I'm Princess of Hell and Heaven?" I ask and they look down.

"Oh, My Lady Lilith... You guys knew!"
"This is finally getting interesting..." Caliban says.

"We didn't want you to get hurt. Especially after what happened to that stupid mortal-" Dad says before I interrupt him.
"TOMMY IS NOT STUPID! HOW COULD YOU! ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU KNEW I STILL LOVE HIM! HE'S DEAD! AND HE WILL NEVER COME BACK!" I bellow, " TOMMY IS NOT STUPID! YOU'RE STUPID!" I run up to my room.
"Bridget!" My father calls out as I run up.

My bedroom

"You were in love with a Mortal?" Caliban asks.
"Why do you care?" I ask. He shrugs. He walks to my photo board.
"The daughter of the Morningstar, you, your friends and another person. A mortal?" Caliban asks, touching the photos.

"Tommy." I reply.
"He's dead..." Caliban asks, "How?"
I don't say anything, a tear rolls down my eye and lands on my thigh.

"You should go, Caliban..." I say and he looks at me, about to say something but choses not to and telports back to Hell.

I lie in bed. I've been trying to sleep for hours but I can't. I just keep think of that kiss. Why am I thinking about that kiss! For Lilith's sake, do I like it! I kinda think I do. Eww. No. Gross. I don't like Caliban. For sure... Okay! Stop thinking about him, Bridget and get some sleep. I shout into my pillow as I still can't get any sleep. Just go away, Caliban! I get up, drink some water, and look at wall where he kissed me. It's okay, Bridget, go to sleep. I get sleep but only after I think of Caliban.

You think ima miss out a chance for sparks. Nah. Lol. Just a Calridget moment. OMG! I JUST MADE UP A CALIBAN AND BRIDGET SHIP NAME!
