chapter 2: moveing doors

I huff out a large, tired and annoyed breath, i look around the huge room for anything interesting to cure my boredom with, but there wasn't that much out in the open for me to see or play with, i waited for something to happen to me or for something to happen around me, but nothing came my way.

As i looked at the walls around me i realised the trim of the celling had moving symbols and zodiac sighs mine was hunting a animal making me laugh slightly as cancer the crab went from side to side as its claws pinched the fake air on the dark patterned wood, the others were there to, all of them doing there own things.

My boredom was still causing me to ponder around the room curiously like a lost puppy looking for a bone or a bird to chase after as i wanted to go around and look at more, but the devil had told me not to move from the room again.

After of a while i still found nothing else in the room, not even a old plain jigsaw to occupy the time with as it passed me bye, so i decided to leave the room but I couldn't quiet brong myself to do it yet.

I walked over to the smooth, black, leather sofa he had sitting in front of his large HD screen TV in the middle of the room as well as the large, burning, coal fire place that made my heart melt almost instantly at how beautiful it looked.

It was smooth, my hand ran over the back of the sofa my fingers pressed down and brushed it until it came to the end and fell off.

I got back to the door and looked at it seeing if there was anything strange like the trimming of the wall, but no there wasn't, just a plain old door nothing like I had hopped it to be.

"Just do it" a voice in my head yelled at me causing me to smile at my own thoughts and ignorance towards the devil.

"Just leave already he's not your dad" it said again

Taking in a deep breath in then breathing out i nod at myself, preparing myself for what I may found, taking a large step back out of the room and snuck around once again in curiosity.

The place was quieter now, very quiet, i couldn't even hear the noices from earlier on downstairs it was like the walls had fallen asleep blocking any noice out from every angle and point in the large house.

It was kind of spooky.

The halls looked as if they never ended.

walking down the halls, I saw many pictures were lined up by one and another, accompanied by a golden plate holding engraved names on them showing who they were painted by and what the painter had called them, below them was a date.

It shocked me at some of the dates, but none of them were in order of the time line more like the order of popularity other then that.....

They all seemed rather...

Sinful.

Well that was some;

Others were actually very nice to look at, one was a painting of two rather beautiful girls standing beside a thrown like chair as well as a male on the opposite side of the girls and of course the devil him self was in the middle of them all in large thrown like chair as if he was the king of it all.

I could slightly make out a picture in the background.

The picture itself was surrounded by golden frame, but I couldn't tell what it was exactly only that it was a girl with dark brown hair and a purple dress, that was all though as the background wasn't so detailed as the people around the devil, they was much more easy to focus on.

One of the girls in the painting was standing behind the devil on his right they looked as if they were a goddess of some kind, her hair was a light blond almost a white like colour that was turning grey at the bottom as if it was ageing itself slowly over time, her hand was on the back of the chair holding on tightly.

Another girl was slightly smaller then them all, a bit younger looking to, she was at the devils right side leaning onto the back of the thrown with a large smile on her face, she had raven black hair with a tinted blue colour to it as it shone in the light, but that could have just been the colour of the paint the artist used for her other than that everything was normal about her, she had very light green eyes almost as if they had been dimmed slightly.

The male was on his left beside the taller girl in white, he had short messy, brown, curly locks that went everywhere as if he had scuffed them up with his hand lazily.

Every one in the photo was dressed with such a formal attire, the girls were wearing a dress that seemed to go well with there hair, blue as i was now naming them on there colour was on the right, she had a light blue dress with a black trim at the bottom and a black head band to match with it, her shoes were lace-less slip on shoes that went with a nice pair of grey tights, it was the same for the white as well but instead of blue it was white from head to toe.

The male was in a grey suit with work lace up shoes to match the neat style they were all going for and a black tie strapped around his neck.

I sigh as my stumic loudly growled at me from not having anything to drink or eat since i had came down to hell and i hasn't had any before that time eather it was mostly just a small drink of water that was it.

Walking down the hall my stumic growled again, but the smell of freshly cooked baked goods and treats led me to to a large kitchen, looking inside i saw many different types of foods, There was some triangular cut sandwiches on a layered plate showing many different types going from once such as ham, cheese, egg, fish and many many many more that i had found ever so yummy and ever so delicious, even my favourite were there stacked as high as mount Everest.

slowly sneaking a few into my small bag i smile walking off with them hoping none had saw me, but when I walked away I felt a small and tight hand on my shoulder stopping me from walking out the room and back into the hall.

"Excuse me you have to ask first" a small high pitched voice sqweeked out from behind me.

I turn around looking at were the voice came from, i hadn't realised that the person or creature that had pated on my shoulder had such a small sized hand, she wasn't even half my size she was almost half the size of my hand as if she was some tip of fairy or spirit.

Looking at her I raised a brow, I was slightly confused by how she had grabed me with such small hands, but with such strong strength, her features made her slightly scary to look at but her size made her look so cute and frail to the eye.

The small creature had dark strawberry blond hair and brown eyes, her cloths were a pair of slim, skinny tights and a dark purple dress, her wings were a black see through colour, the only thing she didn't have was a pair of shoes I guess that was because she could fly.

"S-sorry ma'am" I said gently looking at the small flying creature as she looked back at me with annoyance.

The fairy sighed and flied away as she zoomed around the room quickly going to and throw around the room, back and forth, up and down throughout the hole room then coming back towards me with a small smile and a large pick box, a bow wrapped around it.

She went off again after handing it me and smiled happily at her generosity and opened the box, it was full of food and a small bottle of what i believed to have been a tridiagonal fresh made apple smoothie, that was always one of my favorites.

turning around quickly looking behind me as i stepped out, i saw the kitchen door lock and slam shut almost instantly as i had came out of the door way my backside barely making out itself without being caught.

Grabbing a ham sandwich out of my bag, i look around more observing what's around me as I take a small bite out of one of my yummy ham sandwiches that I took from the kitchen.

Looking around i saw all the doors were different from one and another, not one was alike the other and all led to a different room, some were red some were black some were even blue with scratch marks all up the door with newly replaced hinges.

The carpet was a smooth fluffy crimson red with small hits of brown, black and grey sticking out in between all of the red peace's of soft carpet, the only way I could see the pattern on the floor was because i was just steering down at my feet as i walked for a while.

The ground was made as if it was a map set out for me to follow my footprints showing behind me as I had left many trails of scuff marks from my feet on the floor.

Everything was identical, the walls were two different colours, on the top a dim red and the bottom a lighter red-ish orange colour, the framing in between was a gold line that was it, but the doors weren't the same as everything else was, although i dared not to open the doors to find what was in them even though I was curious to find out what was.

There was one door that made me very curious and seemed way more intriguing then the rest, it was at the bottom of the hall, but every time i walked towards it or got to were it was it was meant to be the door had moved, as if it didn't want to be opened any time soon, like it had a mind of its own.

It was old looking the door was a dark oak brown and the handle was a old rustic gold colour that was slowly going a brown colour.

The wall suround the door looked as if it was slowly peeling off and turning damp, but because i couldn't get closer to the door i wasn't able to know anymore then what i saw of it from a distance.

Giving up, i walk back down the hall slowly making my way back.

Walking back i realised it was much quicker then trying to go after that one door i guess that was the power of this place though since it was run by the devil after all.

Looking into my small bag i pulled out the bottle of apple juice drinking some of it down slowly as I re-entered my room for the third time now today in a row.

"Well I think today" I think to myself.

It was honestly hard to say.

Sitting down and humming to myself, I grab the TV remote from the bed side table, turning the TV on I see it has more then the normal channels back on my TV.

There were some channels that were in Spanish others in French, German, Portuguese and more, even some I had never hard of before in my entire life, but then again I lived in my own small bubble all day long.

I had begun drifting off into a deep sleep from boredom, the more I had tried to stay awake and focus my eyes onto the TV the sleepier I got and the more I would struggle against the feeling of sleep slowly overtaking my body.

Eventually the feeling took over me and my eyes closed shut, the sound of the TV faded away into the background.

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Waking up I could hear the TV was still on, only this time it was speaking in Spanish and it felt like it was a lot louder then before.

Slowly fluttering my eyes open i sat my head up and looked over to the TV to see that small demon girl from yesterday again.

She was hard to see because my eyes were still trying to focus on the spinning room, but i knew it was her, or i hopped it would be her at least since i guest none here had much decency when it came to others here unless they were brought here by force just like me.

Looking around the room more i see a nice new pair of cloths resting onto the bed side vanity table set with a pair of shoes on top and a bowl of cereal with toast and jam.

Picking up the tray, i ended up making a loud clang as the metal spoon hit the decorated bowl.

The small girl turned around looking at me with a happy and wide smile on her face as her cheeks burned to a rose red with happiness and joy as she always did.

She walked over to me, helping me out of my bed and then moved my pillows fluffing them up behind me, Adjusting my quilt and then moving my cloths onto the bed.

"How did you sleep?" The small girl asks me polightly as i took a bite out of my peace of toast.

"I slept well..... surprisingly"

The small demon girl smiled showing off her small pointed fangs in her mouth at me gently and giggled with joy as she moved the remotes for the TV around putting them into size order.

I don't know why but seeing her smile was so satisfying to see it was like everything was being brought back to life for me.

The room looked like it had changed slightly as the carvings in the wall had moved around to create new patterns in replace of them.

"Why though?" i ask myself as my imagination ran wild with the thoughts and theories i could think of as they sprung into my mind.

Yet again she had a small smile on her face, but this time it wasn't forced on to her it was actually natural in its own special and unique way.

Her light grey skin looked the same except for her warm brown cheeks that had started to show through instead of the grey or the red that would normally point her out of place.

I was able to see more detail on her horns, there was scratches across them and a small symbol carved in the side of one, but I didn't take much notice to it, her tail went down to the floor swaying from side to side slowly as the point at the end of it ripped up some small strands of carpet in the proces.

Her dark hazel eyes were focused on me as if she was waiting for me to ask why she was in here.

I sighed shaking my head slightly then looked at her gently.

"what are you doing in here? I was sleeping" I sighed rubbing the sleep away from my eyes as I looked at her in a slightly annoyed way.

The demon girl smiles at me happily, tilting her head to the side as I slowly ate my food pushing it down my throat as she explained why she woke me up from my deep and peaceful slumber.

When she was done speaking my eyes widened at what she had told me.

"I have to meet them all?" My mouth dropped open whide.

The small girl nodded looking at me with her gentel smile again.

"Are they nuts there must be millions of them here" i thought to myself as i tried racking my brain around the thought of meeting all of the demons and creatures that live down here.

I shrugged slightly at the thought of it and quickly grabbed the cloths she gave me, slipping my old pair off onto the bathroom floor with ease.

The small demon called Varsity was cleaning up the little things in my room such as my bed, the plate and tray as well as putting my dirty cloths into a small shoot that was fixed into the wall.

I smiled at her happily looking at her cloths, they was the same as the other day before but they was still as clean as the fresh snow you would see falling from the sky at Christmas.

"well no but he has said I have to take you to dinner with some of them seeing as your part of the family now" varsity explained to me with a warm and happy smile on her face.

Varsity reached for my hand causing me to pull it away quickly from her but I soon realised that she was only going to help me find my way around after last time I had wondered around on my own without perdition to do so.

The halls were just like last time, they had the same doors, same patterns and textures were going all the way down the hall.

The one thing that was different was the door I kept running after the day before was now in reach only it was padlocked shut and even if it wasn't I had to with varsity to this silly dinner.

"why do I have to do this? can't I just wonder on my own" I think to myself in my head.

my feet suddenly stopped as I walked down the hall, I didn't want to go any further then what I already had, I didn't want to meet these people and I didn't want to listen to the devil after I had been lured into being here when I could have said no and still be home talking to the friends that hadn't stabbed me in the back when I needed them the most in my life.

Before I had came down into hell my mom and dad had died only a few months before, my only family was gone and chaise and coral knew that, they was even at both of there funerals.

"what's wrong?" varsity asked me as she stopped looking back at me with worry.

"I don't want to go. I refuse to go in there varsity" I say looking away from her gently.

I knew that if I refused to varsity would be the one who got the blame for what I was doing but the devil was the reason I was here and he was so pushy, I wasn't going to just allow him to push me around like I was some kind of object just because he had brought me here.

varsity smiled slightly then looked down as she spoke to me.

"I'm sorry ma'am but you have to, the devil will punish me if I don't" varsity whispered as she pulled me along the hall way once again, with her small hands gripping onto my fairly thin wrists i let out a small sigh.

Walking down the hall all I could see was red and black flowers everywhere on small tables as we went further and further down the halls till I got to a wide opening into a large room full of people.

There was some small demons serving them drinks from a bar full of different kinds of alcoholic beverages going from rum and coke to vodka shots and cocktails.

The bar table was a nice smooth black with small bits of silver and gold embedded into it as the stools were made up from iron legs and a red lather cushion for the seat as well as the back of the chair.

The walls had changed drastically from the colour on the other side of the wall, there was a lovely peachy colour and the floor was a gorgeous dark grey that put me at ease.

There was a large dinning room table that took up half the room and a all you can eat buffy was on the other side of the room, just opposite the bar and behind that was a kitchen full of workers from ever so small to ever so large and almost being able to touche the ceiling.

many foods were everywhere they went from small cakes to large bowls of what looked like rice and curry.

Seeing that amount of food in one place made my smile grow from ear to ear, but it then faded quickly realising I would have to eat in front of them all.

They all seemed rather comfortable eating around each other like that had all done it before.

I hadn't ate any of the yummy food i had picked out from the bufay the only thing i had was a small drink of Roseau black whine, it was rather bitter but that was how i liked it.

I felt a small tug on my arm and looked at the small girl beside me.

The small girl had lush unnatural red hair and her eyes were a gorgeous blueish-green almost like a see through sea colour.

"are you okay? you haven't ate anything me and my mama was really worried about you" she said quietly and smiled more at me bringging me a small warm feeling in my stumic, almoast like butterflies trying to excape my stumic but instead this was a bee stingging the inside slowly bit by bit.

I was stuck for words on what to say to her, not many people ever cared about me or what i did, normally they would just over look it and say i was a waste of there time and energie.

Why was it up there I'm none?, but down here I'm someone? someone they all seem to care for and want to help, someone they all remember and acknowledge.

I smile gently and nod at the small girl finally able to speak up and giver her a answer as she had been waiting for one ever so patiently.

"I'm fine just not hungry."

The girl nodded her head then ran off again as she pulled a small teddy behind her excitedly.

Looking at my food again I sigh grabbing my fork and knife stabbing it into some food.

I didn't want to eat but I was so hungry that i could hardly resist the delishious smell of food flooding my neutrals as i sat there in hunger.

The food entered my mouth and i smiled at the delishious taste that over threw my tastebuds.

Everything tasted so much better down here for some reason, even the things i found revolting were now so sweet to my tounge as if it was put under a spell.

Many of the foods on my plate looked like they was foren and from other contries that i had never hurde of or had been to, one of them was a type of vegitable that was a light purple and a meat that was a light pink colour when it was cooked unlike aware food witch went brown or read when we cooked it.

Wearling around my drink as i watched the small Liverpool turn and shrink into a small bubble.

After a while i walk out of the room my bag now stuffed with snakes just incase i wanted some and didnt want to stay with the devil later on in the day after all that was just a small bowl of food i ate.

Slowly walking up the hall i bump into someone walking my direction causeing me to groan.

"Watch were your going kid" a deep and gentle voice said from infront of me.

Thinking out loud i look around and ask who he was "Who are you? What are you?" My voice croaked out from the lack of hydration in my body since i had forgotten to get a drink.

The man sighed looking down at me gently with a smile.

"My name is toni and im a demon~" he said as he introduced himself to me.
