chapter 9: baby sat

A few week had passed since I first met Angelica I constantly thought about what she called me.

"Devils child"

The words would echo around my head trying to figure out what she meant by that but to avail nothing came to mind.

'What did she mean by that?' I think to myself as I play with a small peace of my hair twirling it around my finger as toni sat beside me on my sofa cleaning his glasses as he watched some tv.

He had been looking after me or as the devil out it 'baby sitting' me every day when Asher didn't want me around.

Toni wasn't actually that bad; to be honest he was actually a quiet kind person in his own anoying and obnoxious ways.

His hair was constantly up and I never saw him with it down, it was never down and was never in a mess.

Varcity would come and visit me when she could but she had been very busy running around after the devil lately with her brother vincent.

They was both slaves running after there masters as if that was all they was useful for.

After a while I let out a huff and walked down to the dining hall as I did every morning only to be stopped once again by Toni.

"What is your deal? I'm hungry" I growl out and he puts a hand over my mouth with a huff.

Toni reminded me of one of the bad boys you would see from a high school romcom even though he looked like he was in his early twenties and was fairly smart.

He always looked so good but was always so anoying in the way that he did everything you didn't want them to, but he was only following ashe"s orders.

"Ya and so am I but hes having another meeting with the other realms and his family so me and you are going out for the day"

Toni pulled me down the hallway all the way to a door I hadn't seen before.

The door was old, paint chipping away, the door handle was a dirty golden copper colour, a round and old fashioned key hole underneath.

The framing of the door was slightly bumpy and could have gave anyone splinters from a single touch from the amount of wood that was slolwy chupping away.

A padlock was at the top of the door old and used up part of it bent to the side.

The door looked like it had been painted a darker brown maybe once but now a mixture of brown red and orange was all that was left behind with many scratches.

"why are we here?" I asked and looked at Toni curiously as he slowly opened the old and rooked door.

"Asher told me to get one of his credic cards to get some food or cloths if you wanted anything that you saw" Toni said as he went through a draw on the side of a unused tidey bed.

The bed was slowly gathering and building up dust onto the quilt as the rest of the room room already filled with dust and old cobwebs.

Toni pulls me out of the room and down the hall to the front door of the devils large mention.

Toni sighed looking around and growled rummaging through his pockets for something before pulling out a pair of keys.

Surprisingly there wasnt that many.

There was a car key a golden key and bronze key and a very old fashioned iron key with rust and dirt covering the two lanes at the end making up a F like shape.

Toni smiled at the car keys and clicked the Buton as he pointed it to the road way.

A car rushed onto the road quickly and came to a halt were toni had pointed to, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the car quickly and opened the back doors.

The inside of the car was beautiful it had soft red covered chairs a small fridge built inbetween the two front seats were cup holders would normally be and the chairs pushed up just under the windows.

It reminded me of the cars you would see in movies that the ritch people would have.

"Dont just stare get it" Toni sighed

With no hesitation I climbed into the back and sat down.

I reached my hand out to the fridge and pulled the door open seeing some cooled cans of pop and some small already made plates of food.

I quickly grabbed a can of coca-kola and cracked it open for a sip.

The can was cold and so refreshing it was like I drank it for the first time.

The bubbles fizzled and popped on the inside tickling my tounge and lips.

Nothing was the same that was true, hell could be cruel but that was only to some.

It's like real life actually.

You can choose were to go but in the end it doesn't really matter life fucks you over weather you like it or not.

Once we got to the town I looked around, I had forgotten what day it was at this point, but it must have been a week day as there are children from as young as the age of three to the age of sixteen wearing neat and tidy uniforms as well as holding handbags and phones in there hands.

The smaller ones holding there family's hands for safety as the older ones ran around laughing and cackling to each others jokes and stories from the weekend or the days before.

They was under a bus stop waiting for there way to get to school when the bus came it didn't surprise me it was different then the ones we had back home.

This bus was tall and had at least three stories the next smaller then the other caring less and less people on each level. two woman with wings flew up to the sop floor as it had no roof on it as some of them teleported inside and the others just walked on and sat down into his seat.

I looked over at Toni for a explanation to the hole school in hell thing.

Toni hummed and looked down at me. "yes we have a school down here. even hell has children we have to teach and educate before they go to the main plain" Toni said with a hum as he led me deeper into the city and closer to all of the shops.

I wasn't exactly sure why i had to be out of the devils way but clearly it wasn't for a good reason, or maybe he was just as secretive as he was scary.

"most of the kids here are actually taught how to use there powers for good to help become gardians for humans, some rebel yes, but most are very good these days" he said as he slowly pulled me along.

I didnt know exactly what i was going to do but i knew most of my day would be spent in the town.

There wasnt really mutch to do but no matter what I did or were i ment I got small glasses and funny looks from people that would walk passed.

Toni and I walked into the main shopping area causing him to smirk and pull a small card out of his pocket with asher's name on.

"Let's spend all of his money shall we?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

With a small laugh I nod and follow him around the shopping centre and started to spend the devils money on small things like new cloths and for some food and drinks as well as a few things I liked to snack on and eat for when we would stop or when I would get randomly hungrey.

Once aware shopping day was done toni snapped his fingers and the car came back once again within a flash.

Everything was so fast down here.

'I just hope the devil is finished now' I think ti myself asni climb back into the viacul with all of my bags and back to the devils enormous home.
