Soul Sold

Chapter 5. Just In Case

~Colt~

I woke up and felt warm. Way warmer then I'm used to waking up to. I looked up and saw my loving devil curled up around me reading some book I had on my book shelf.

He smiled down at me and I reached up and kissed his check, "Good morning Roman."

He nodded and kissed my lips, "Yes a good morning in deed."

"Something bothering you Colt?"

I nodded, "I've just been wondering. How did you become the king of Hell?"

He laughed, "Ah, that's it?"

I nodded.

"Well I had to over throw my father. You wouldn't know who my father was he was the son of your so called "devil" in your big religious book you call The Bible."

I laughed, "My mother would screech if she heard what you just said."

He smirked, "Well then I guess it's a good thing so doesn't have a cross in your room. Unlike what most people believe demons can still go into a room and use our powers even if there is a cross. It just makes us roll our eyes. Such a power drainage."

I looked up at him, "How did you over throw your father?"

He smirked, "You remind me of a young demon. They love stories like this. Look at you your eyes are like little stars."

"But I guess if you want to know I'll tell you."

"My father and my sister had gotten into an argument. My sisters were always more of the rebels then I was. After my little sister Demi had told him she had two mates he told her to choose one. She told him she wouldn't do that so he told her that she wouldnt mate them. Even though they were both males he still didn't like it.

After she once again told him no he went to smack her. I got mad and attacked him challenging him. When it comes to demons attacking the king is pretty much challenging him. Do to this it started our battle for power. One I won nearly dying in the process. My father did die though and he was thrown into a pool of lave."

My eyes widened, "REALLY?!"

He laughed and shook his head, "No. He was buried like people are on Earth."

"So tell me about your parents."

I shrugged, "Well my father was really religious and hated when I talked about my best friend who was gay. Then when I made jokes about my sister needing to get with girls instead of good for nothing guys he would hit me atop the head. Nothing too much just a warning that he hated hearing about that kind of stuff. That was until he died."

I swallowed heavily, "He died about 3 years ago. Mama misses him so much. She worries about Jimmy even more than ever now. She knows that he tries so hard to be like dad was. So much he's turning into him. My father wasn't perfect. He had cheated on her more than once. Hell she had caught him doing so."

I felt Roman pull me closer, "You know. My mother wasn't ever around. She was my father's mate, my older sister Renata was born from a woman who was not my mother. Her mother was sweet from what I hear. She was executed when my mother was found by my father. He didnt even care, he did it without a thought."

I grabbed his hand and held it squeezing just a little bit.

He continued, "When this happened Renata was 3 years old at this time. My mother got pregnant the first night he met her. She had died and went to hell do to the fact she was his mate. Once he found her he told her she was his to mate and breed. She listened to him and let him do as he said. She had me and then when they went to have another child it came out as she was pregnant. But not with his child. She had another mate. Well she and my father both did but my father refused to recognize their other half. So he had them both killed."

I snuggled closer to him and started to rub my thumb over his hand.

"Then he met Demi's mom. At first she was nice then after my father got his maid impregnated she became bitter. She was also with child so she was never alone. But in this time she started writing detailed plans on how to kill the maid and-"

He took a deep breath, "And my father. The guards found it and killed her. But not before she killed the maid and the unborn child."

I kissed his hand and nuzzled his chin, "I won't ever let anything happen to you."

He smiled, "I'm going to do what my grandfather did. He lived on Earth with his mate their whole life. Then when he got older he gave the position to my father."

My eyes widened, "Wait your grandfather is the devil. Like the original?"

He nodded, "Yes the real devil walks the Earth."

I looked at a picture of my mother and smiled, "You know. She wasn't really ever that religious until dad died. Then she started saying that God would save us all. She was so happy when she found out that my sister's boyfriend was a Holly man as you call him. She was so proud of her for finally finding a good man. If only she knew who I was dating."

He smiled and kissed the top of my head, "Promise me something thing okay?"

I nodded, "Anything."

"If anyone ever went after you. Whether it be your sister's boyfriend or another person. Run. Find Callie, Renata, hell even Demi. Find one of them and stay with them until I can come in find you. If you can't get to them or dont think you can escape. I need you to cut your wrist lick your blood and call out my name."

After saying this he showed me a ring. He touched it a certain way and a blade popped out.

"See. That's how you use it. Just in case anything happens."
