chapter 8: white woman

Varcity giggled running around the halls and rooms happily going up and down to fine a hideing place, she was running away from me as we were both messing about and playing in the halls as the devil was preparing for his meeting today.

We was manly playing tag and hide and seak, she was so childish and small that I couldn't help myself but to play a few small games with her.

Today she was in a dark blue summers dress and a pair of black trainers with thoes old kind of frilly socks girls would wear to first school.

Varsity quickly ran around a corner.

I cought up with her as quickly as I could to see her bump into a woman with light blond hair that looked like it was a silvery grey.

She was the same girl from the painting I had seen in the hallway a while back.

She was wearing a Wight dress that went down to her neas, Wight tights and a pair of wight sliper shoes that hade a matching silky bow wrapped around her waist, her hair was pinned back to keep it from falling in her face as it fell past the mid of her back.

A small thin silver chain necklace was wrapped around her neck with the letter A and a pair of angel wings on both sides of the letter.

"Whatch were you are going kid!" The woman barked.

Her voice sounded so soft but the way she spoke was the opposite, how could somone so pretty be so mean, but then again that was how it was in any kind of movie and that was the way he was sometimes in real life to.

Sometimes the kindest looking of people could stab you in the back at any moment.

If anyone knew that that was me.

The devil slowly came around the corner looking at me and varcity then sighing as he shook his head like a disappointed teacher.

The devil was holding a stack of folders and papers in his arms some even tucked under them.

I could see that some of the folders were parted by a peace of coloured paper as others were compact into folders with labels coming out of the sides of them.

A small boy was hidden behind the blond woman, it was varcity's brother from what I knew, at least that was what I could gather from last time I saw him.

He had short dark grey hair and a white coloured type of skin mixed with a small bit of a pale peach colour on his ears and nose and small highlights of brown on his cheeks.

he didnt have horns like varcity or a thin tail either he just didng have any kind of demonic features.

His eyes were a lovely light hazel colour with speckled bits of black around the iris.

From what I could remember last time he said he had a master maybe this woman was her it would make sense since he was hideing behind her.

The small boy dragged his feet on the floor slowly following the woman as the devil sighed looking at me and varcity seriously.

"Stop that you two this isn't a playground!." The devil growled glearing at varcity then looking at me this a disappointed frown.

I hadn't noticed until now but he seemed to be more stricter with the demons in hell but mostly varcity.

She was always getting yelled at by him no matter what she did, even though she was just a kid.

"S-sorry mr D-Devil..." she whispered looking down at the floor as she placed her feet gently onto the growned as she had been flying.

The small boy moved from behind the woman's back and walked over to varcity hugging her happily and she smiled a bit hugging back.

They was both so similar in looks but he didn't look like a demon, he looked like a angel, he was to innocent and sweet looking to be a demon.

The boy climbed over to varcity and rested her head into his neck.

She held onto him tightly keeping her figure close to him with a hidden smile.

After a while the boy pulled back and hummed happily at her with a wide smile before pulling varcity off down the hall with him.

"Come on vincent hurry up!" She giggled and without another word they was gone.

Angelica walked back down the hall with her hands tucked behind her back, her skirt swaying with a breeze that seemed to come from nowhere as Asher turned and walked away with a pile of folders wrapped up into the inside of his arm.

I was alone again; this place could be scary when you was alone, the way the hall would change at random or the way demons would walk down the hall way looking at me like I was a small creature awaiting to be hurt and to be fed apon other times the halls could be calming and I would get kind hellos from people walking by.

Out of curiosity I followed behind them with a smile among my face, it wasnt that I was happy, it was because I wanted to know what was going on.

I was curious to who this person was, she was in the painting in the hallway so she must have known the devil for a while now, she must have been important in some kind of way.

I smirked and watched them walk into the room were i and Asher usually ate aware food.

Asher was sat at his normal spot, at the head of the table as the woman sat beside him were I would have normally been seated.

She smirked and tapped her fingers against the table with a chuckle.

"She is a curious one I will say that ash. But is she worth everything. I mean that deal you made was pathetic" she sighed rolling her eyes with a huff.

"What? She wanted him to do something bad. But she doesn't look bad" I thought to myself.

I peeked just around the door enough to see what they was doing more.

He looked board as always and just flicked through random pages on the table.

"Angelica your not here for her your hear to discus aware arrangements on the other deals I made." He states passing her a peace of paper and she sighed scanning her eyes over it quickly, taking in the bits of information she wanted to then flipping over to another one.

She held the paper with one hand lifting another up behind it and hummed as her leg bounced on the other.

She sat like a royal, her legs crossed over one and other her posture perfect and her fingers looked like they never did any work, they was perfectly manicured and pampered to perfection as her hair was so silky and soft, from a distance you could only see the small bits of makeup she had applied to her face like the highlighter and thick mascara on her eyelashes, she was roughly looking the same age of Asher but they had both been alive for a long time so it was hard to tell how old exactly.

"He looks like someone you could turn to a demon" she said simply before moving and swinging her legs over the arm of the chair to point at picture of somone to Asher as she started to talk about small things like there name and there past.

"Turn to a demon?" I ask in my head confused.

I try to listen into them more but start to here a hissing sound from around me.

I slowly turn around to look behind me and down the hall way only to see nothing.

I looked around again only to hear the hissing move to above my head.

The hairs on my neck began to stand up as I slowly looked up to see a snake I had never seen before.

There eyes were a dark purple colour and looked like they was looking deep into my sole as Its scales varied from different colours of grey, silver and black all over its slim body.

The snake curls itself up like a spring and pushes itself off of the wall and onto the floor just infront of my feet as it slithers on the floor hissing out loud.

The body of the snake slowly transformed turning from a thin tube like body into something with arms and legs, the tail shrinking eatch time as the eyes widdened and got bigger, the iris turning from a slit into a circle.

A large range of hair started to grow out of the scales till there was no scales.

After long the body bends back towards me and stretches stearing down at me, it was toni.

Toni sighed and pulled his glasses from out of his pocket and pushed them onto his face.

His hair was quickly pulled back I to a pony tail with a red rubber band and his cloths brushed down.

"Snooping are we lucy?" He asked and looked at me with a sigh.

I shook my head nervously from being caught, under pressure I was never good at living but other times eas very good, not to mention I had just lost all of my confidence to the snake form he was in, I always did have a fear of snakes. .

How did toni know I was listening into there conversation?

Was be watching me? 

Toni sighed and pushed his classes up the brim of his nose as they slolwy feel back down slightly into place.

"Your a bad lier lucifer you know that?" He asked and looked down upon me with a disappointed look.

With a huff I roll my eyes and look away from him.

A cough comes out of nowhere till I see he was standing there stearing down at me, the devil, standing behind him was that girl again, I still had no clue who she even was but she was suddenly always around him and it was kind of off putting.

"Toni take her to her room we will deal with her once we finish up here" he said coldly making a chill role down my spine and making the small hairs up on the back of my neck freez in there position.

Without another word I was escorted away from the dining area and back to my room.

It seemed I did more then sleep in this room, at this point I might as well live in here and never come out.

I was always in here or being put into here even when I did nothing wrong, i I somone being in controle of me and all my movement.

"You know you cant just try and spy on him and Angelica like that right?" Toni asked with a raised brow as he watched me from the door way.

I nod and look over to him and then back down at my stuff, I grab a book from off of the wall and pull it over to me so I could flip through the book to occupie the time as it passed by. 

"Angelica huh? What she some type of angel?" I ask in a snidie way.

I flick through the pages of my book imagining how everything took place inside.

I found my book ironic really, it was about the devil and how everyone had depicted him as a red skinned male with a gottie beard and small pair of matching horns.

Everything about him was described as pointy and deadly but this devil was just as conniving as a person who had been to prison.

Toni let out a small chuckle as he stared to spy over his glasses at me.

"Yes actually she is. And the devils ex" he said.

Toni quickly fixed up his glasses and looked up at the ceiling watching the symbols move around once again as they always did.

Every time they moved it was like they was dancing or telling a story to us.

After a hour or so of reading had passed the devil walked in past Toni glaring at me and if looks could cook a person I would be burned and roasted on a spit like a pig on Thanksgiving.

His face was angry and yet looked so emotionless like he was trying to hide the fact he was anoyed for some reason, like he wasnt aloud to show them.

His body was calm and relaxed but his fist were tightly sqweezed together, his knuckles slowly turning white on the tips.

"Do you not know the meaning of privacy? What is wrong with you?" He asked rudely.

I scowl at him as I notice angelica smirking at the door way as she leaned against the side, toni wasn't enjoying the show that me and the devil was giving her.

"How could he date a girl like her?" I pondered.

The devil snapped his fingers infront of my face again and growled, if you hadn't have known who made the sound you would have thought it would have been a dog or wolf making the sound instead of a man.

"Stay here from now on or you will know just how much of a devil I am" he grunted out as he glared down at me.

"Understood?" He asked.

"I said understud?" He growled.

I zoned out for almost a muinet until the sound of snapping was infront of me again.

"Hello lucy?" The devil asked waving his hands and growled pinching my sholdure agressivly.

"Ow!"

My head quickly darted up to look at him and he sighed walking over to toni and pointed at me with a strong hand.

"You keep a eye on her and you dont let her out of your sight at all. Clearly she is to immature and needs a babysitter" he scolded.

And with that he walked out of the room and back down the hall with Angelica following swiftly behind him after she gave me a sassy wave and mouthed 'devils child' at me.

I was confused but shook it off and growled putting the tv on.
