"AAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Everybody had their guard up.

"Who's there?!" Solomon growled. "Ooh, I HAVE to post this one! 'Mysterious scream @ Demon Lord's Castle!' And... sent!" Leviathan typed on his D.D.D. excitedly. It seemed that he was relatively relaxed instead of concerned, perhaps because he was a gamer and he played plenty of horror games.

"Levi, you sound like a teenage girl! Is this really the time to be posting something on your Devilgram story?!" Luke groaned. Suddenly, the Avatar of Gluttony's stomach began to growl very loudly. He frowned, "I must be so hungry that I'm hearing things now..." 

Mammon was still in a state of panic as he looked at his younger brother with a look of disbelief. "Oh, really? Well, that must mean we're all hungry or somethin' if we're ALL hearin' things!" the demon shouted.

"What in the -? Hold on now, that scream... it's familiar," Asmodeus whispered. Asumi caught what he said and it made her wonder why the mysterious scream sounded familiar.

Solomon's eyes darted around for the source of the voice when he spotted a rather unusual, yet possible, sight. "Over here, the painting!" he gasped. A portrait of a woman with honey-blonde locks, blue eyes, and wearing white stood in the picture. And she was moving.

"HOW COULD YOU... HOW COULD YOU?!?! ...This is ALL YOUR FAULT! All of it!!" The woman shrieked in distress. 

"Who are you!" Asumi screeched as she stood in a defensive stance. "That's Helene, a witch known far and wide for her outstanding beauty. Countless angels, demons... even humans alike fell under her spell," Lucifer said.

"Correct! She was one of the most powerful of them all until Asmodeus came along, seduced and manipulated her into betraying her lover at the time and started a war in the country," Number Two said, "the whole place was destroyed. Since then, Helene was known to be a horrible, wicked woman who sold her soul to a demon! What she had to endure was awful..!"

 Luke hid behind Simeon, scared of the screaming portrait. "Helene... what's wrong?" Asumi asked. "Asmodeus! He's what's wrong! Everything that happened to me is his blame!" Helene cried.

"Helene... Why does that name sound so familiar...?" Asmodeus placed a hand on his chin as he thought aloud. "Helene, Helene... Ah, yes! That's right. Helene!"

Asumi felt her stomach churn. This wasn't going to end well, was it? Satan looked tired after hearing of his brother's history with the witch in the portrait. Asumi was surprised that the other brothers weren't aware of this affair. "So Helene is practically one of the women Asmo thought it would be a good idea to mess with? Seriously?" the green-eyed demon frowned. "Haha! 'One of Asmo's ex-girlfriends showed up! OMG!' ...Oooh! This is a good one to add to my story!" Leviathan snorted as he quickly typed on his D.D.D. again.

"Levi, will ya quit it! For once, I'm agreein' with Fido on this, 'yer soundin' like a teenage girl, for devil's sake!" Mammon rolled his eyes. "Hey, demon! How many times do I gotta say it? My name is Luke, not Fido!" Luke growled as he looked up at the Avatar of Greed.

However, Diavolo didn't seem to notice the current situation and continued to smile happily. "Well, isn't that nice? Running into an old friend like this?" he questioned. "Funny you mention it, Diavolo, but... it doesn't seem Helene considers Asmo as an old friend..." Simeon replied rather quietly.

"Asmodeus, I HATE YOU!!" Helene screamed. "Helene, what are you doing here? I mean, it's been several hundred years since this happened, why didn't you ring me up sooner?" Asmodeus asked. Asumi looked at him with disappointment; was he really trying to flirt with a woman whose life he ruined? Solomon noticed and nudged the other human by the elbow and whispered, "it's Asmodeus. What else did you expect?"
