Princess Of Hell

Chapter 18

I awoke the next morning with a disgusting slithery feeling on my shoulders. I looked to see them still oozing a tiny bit of blood, but not nearly as much as the night before.

"Oh good! You're up!" Cerise said. I looked over to see her sitting in the chair next to the bed.

"Yeah, I am."

"How are you feeling?"

"Better. But what's that slithery feeling inside of my arm?"

"What slithery feeling?" She asked, looking concerned.

"I don't know, I just feel this extremely weird slithering feeling inside of my veins. It's almost as if something is moving inside of me." Cerise's eyes filled with anxiety as I said that.

"I need to go get Falynn." She said, running out of the room. I didn't know anyone named Falynn, but with the way Cerise's eyes filled with stress almost instantly after I explained how I felt, something bad was happening.

Cerise ran in with a tall, pale faery. The faery who I assumed must be Falynn was beautiful. She had blonde hair that fell down her back in dense waves, and her sparkling violet eyes met with mine. She looked extremely young, around my age.

"Princess Titania, I am a healing faery, and Cerise has requested my presence for a surgery on your arm." Falynn said, looking at me.

"Surgery? What's going on?" I asked, fear filling me.

"From the description you used of the feeling in your arm, we have a suspicion Vivian is using the soulblade, a sword made by the demon king himself. The sword will put a living baby demon wherever someone was cut with it. The baby demon will grow inside of the faery and eventually, kill the faery by coming out." Cerise explained. My eyes bulged out of my eye sockets as I examined my arms. I could now see strange bubbles appearing on the top of my shoulder.

"Do it." I said, looking Falynn and Cerise in the eyes. They both nodded and walked over to Cerise's desk, where they took out a gigantic knife. I gulped as I watched them come closer. Falynn touched my shoulder and Cerise angled the knife towards one of my shoulders. When the knife dug into my scream, blissful darkness took me before the pain could overwhelm me.

"Titania." A voice whispered in my ears. My breathing grew irregular as slimy sensations wormed their way up my body.

"Titania....." the voice said again.

"What?" I whispered, feeling chills crawl up my spine. My eyes were pinned on nothingness, complete darkness.

"Come to me. We can destroy everything." The voice said.

"Who are you?"

"Your demon."

"Name?" I asked, annoyed.

"Izzalee."

"What do you want?!"

"To destroy everyone."

"Why??"

"I'm a demon, sweetie. It's what we do."

"Please, don't! I don't need a demon and never will!"  At that moment, a freaky figure appeared out of the darkness, taking my breath away. Red Horns protruded from her head and her skin was entirely red. Her face was a striking mixture between beautiful and terrifying. Violent flames mix with black oozy liquid where wings flash out. Her faery shaped body morphed into a cat shaped figure and the red skin started to mix with the oozing liquid dripping from its wings. Smoke and fire escape the creatures nostrils as it growls at me.

"You can't get rid of me, Titania. I'm now a part of you."

"I don't think you are."

"That surgery will only manage to piss me off and that'll only give you more pain. You have to learn to accept me."

"I'll never accept a demon in my body!"

"Pity, because I'm a part of you."

"No! You are not!"

"I really am." Glowing fiery eyes pierced me as the demon smiled evilly.

"Get away from me you sick beast."

"Never." A breath of fire escaped the demons mouth and my body was engulfed in flames.

********************************************

I awoke to see Cerise and Falynn looking at me sadly, but I already knew what it meant.

"You didn't get it out." I stated rather than asked. They nodded sadly.

"We couldn't, the demon was engraved into your veins and we had no way of getting it out without killing you." Falynn said.

"I met the demon."

"You what?!" Cerise screeched.

"I met the demon while I was passed out. It had a weird cat like body and flamed wings."

"Virbil." Cerise growled.

"What?" I asked at the same time Falynn did.

"That's the species name of your demon. She's a Virbil demon."

"Great." I said sarcastically.

"Ya know, if you just accept me, it'd be a lot less painful for both of us."

"Not a chance in hell," I whispered to the demon in my head.

"Whatever. Vivian's going to win anyway."

I tuned the rest of the demon's pathetic argument out as I listened to Falynn and Cerise panic about telling everyone I had a live demon living inside of my arm. And it'd only grow. Wait til they find out it can talk inside my head. Just when Cerise and Falynn stopped talking, the door burst open to reveal a furious Cornelius and Kayden.
