Malevolent Mermaid

"Shivers Down My Spine"

Lues was never alone, Lues always had a plan B, he always had a way to save his first evil work with a work eviller than the first one. He as a demon itself had a thousand other demons working for him. Doing things for him, no matter how harshly he treated them, they always did things for him, and tried to be on his good side.

What always made him stronger was that you never knew who worked for him or who was on his side, for all you could know is you could be on his side and still not know how on earth you ended up agreeing with him or when did you even become as evil as him.

He had that manipulative behaviour over everyone around him. He could get you to agree with him by simply using your weak points and kicking them to your curb till you agree, at that point, you feel powerful, the person with the most strength out there, however you always end up regretting it later on, as he only works for his own favours.

And there he was trash talking Decimis, the one that got him to where he is, as soon as he turned around swords would be thrown on his back, so why should a basic person even trust him? When he could do all of this to his closest ones?

Well simple... Because we are all a little evil inside! And once we find someone who is abnormally evil, we think our evil is normal, which by no means, it is not! It is just that Lues can make it look that way, by his own vicious acts making you go "Can someone really think of doing that?" in the back of your head, and then go do exactly what you thought you would never do. Basic we are.

"Him being dumb will always make it easier for us to be one step ahead of him, there is nothing he can do to defeat us." Lues continues with maliciously words escaping his mouth, as the usual as before, the guy who gave him strength, and set his orders in place, was being called dumb, and plans on him being dead were being made. Was it possible? It was.

"But I thought your deal was with Ianthe? And not Decimis? Why are you switching up plans?" the mysterious girl applies with confusion

"Do you have doubts about my plans or what?"

Anger being visible on his eyes, how dare she disobey him?

No scratch that, you cannot even ask questions, in case he gets angry, and he will end up doing well... nothing to you! So why is everyone scared of this human being?

"No, I just asked to know better, in case something happens. I have to know it from both sides."

And on her point of view fear being visible, she wanted to know, but he said no. So she tried to fix herself on another way.

"You just do as I say. That is all I want, and you need to know. With time you will see everything."

"But Lues..."

She tries to resonate with him

"But what? Any objections?"

"No" She says in pout and disappointment, for not getting back the value she gives to Lues. He had made it look like to her as if this entire plan were for her, she was the centre point of the whole plan.

He found her weak and played with it. Looks. And always kept on reminding her of how beautiful Ianthe was, and how if she were gone the beauty would pass on to her. But never mentioning Ianthe's' secret superpower, the thing written on that paper he ripped long time ago.

"Great, good girl! Now all we have left is to get that idiot to kill Ianthe, and it will be easy for us to get all that he has, that is when Lues Daemonium will take over and become the God of waters. You will all work on my favour!"

"And what about me?"

Lues looks at her with anger eyes, not saying anything. Because she was starting to object and say words that were out of Lues plans. She was not supposed to object, she was supposed to worship how powerful and smart Lues was. He could easily turn the tables around by giving her an evil stare. She fearfully nods and looks away.

"Do you have anything you do not understand?" Lues says, ironically, mocking her.

"No Daemonium, I do not! Everything is clear!" She agrees to the untruth simply to be called 'Good Girl' by Lues. Those two words only. How desperate? Right?

"I know. I set my cards clear and open from the beginning, if you are not in, you can always leave."

"I am happy as we are right now. Let us talk about the plan."

"The plan is simple I think, do you need a recap? To fit it in your little brain?"

Again, with the mockery, again with the irony. It had no ending with him

"No. I clearly understood everything. I thought maybe we had more to add."

"It is set, you are smart enough to do as I say, you know yourself what happens when you do not listen."

She has no idea what would happen if she did not listen to him, she had no idea where she could be dragged. But still she was afraid inside, the typical Lues manipulation. Just agree to everything he says, or else... Absolutely nothing! Just agree!

"So now, we have to put it on action only.!

"Yes. See how easy it is when you listen?"

"Yes, it is."

"We will be undefeatable; everyone will watch us with fear and not even dare to mess up." There he was with the manipulations again, as always. Which was enough to drive her in. "We just have to stand together, and make it work!"

"Make what work? Lues?"

A familiar voice talks from behind. Sending shivers down Lues spine. Where did he come from?
