chapter 12: down the stairs

The next few days I slolwy started to break rules and do what I wanted around the devils home.

Why should I abide by rules when I was just a prisoner the devil.

The days was boaring and the only fun I had was my reading, tv and of course snuggling up to my new pet magma.

Every morning I would wake up to the feel of warm fur on the side of me, A hot toung licked my face and I would shoot up looking at the hell hound.

"Hay girl" I say happily

I don't know how but she always knew I needed cheering up in the morning, I smiled happily at her and started stroking her scruffy fur.

"I still have to get you a proper bed" I say out loud and

Magma nessled her head under the blanket making me warm and cosy in the thick duvet She rests her head on me and I lay back down stroking behind her horns.

I turned back over onto my side letting my hair fall in front of my face allowing me to hug her.

"Hay magma how about we fo explore today?" She asked and smiled happily at her.

Magma let out a small whistled bark as her reply causing me to smile.

With a yawn I slolwy push off my blanket and jumped out of bed.

Slowly I wobbled over to my Chester draws and pulled out some cloths for me to wear.

Once I was changed I smiled looking at myself in my cloths.

I had many different styles but this one I liked for today.

I had a black long sleeved mini dress with red and black plaid pattern on the skirt, on my legs I had lonv black stockings that went up to my thighs but they were mostly covered with my knee high lace up boots and and neck was a lacy black choker.

I smiled looking af my cloths then started to put my hair up into pigtails then curling eatch of them up into buns and pinning them neatly into place, after that I pulled a small bit of fringe off to finish my look.

Magma gave me another happy bark and wagged her tail at me making me let out a small laugh.

I slolwy walk over to grab a jacket from the side and throw it on so I was able to stay cozy.

With a huff I open the door and look around the hall.

I had told the devil I wasn't going out today but why would I tell him the truth after he lied to me.

Slowly walked down the hall and smiled looking around random rooms.

This place had a room for everything, he had a film room, a living room, a meeting room, a office, a game room.

He had everything.

I smiled walking around and hummed happily playing with a card in my hand, I twisted it between my fingers moving it back and forth between my fingers from Bordum.

I walked pasted Asher yelling at somone in his office and stopped to eves drop in on them curious of what was going on.

"You idiot!!! They were supposed to prevent this!!!" he yelled hitting all the equipment off of his desk table making them smack against the wall and floor.

Peeking my head around the corner I could see a small demon jumped and flapped his wings jumping over the spilt equipment that was now scaterd covering most the floor. I creped as close to the door as much as i possibly could to get a better look and hear more of what they was saying.

"Sir she has been down here for to long sir, she needs to start taking these pills or she will turn like all the others." the demon tells him shakingly holding a small box of pills out to him.

Asher glares daggers at him and picks him up by his top collor and pinned him to the wall angrily.

The boy groaned and sighed dropping the pills on the floor causing them to fall out of there case and onto the floor.

The box had no label on it and the pills were black and grey.

"Nothing will happen to her yet sir as long as she takes her pills" he said and looked at the devil.

"Egsactly yet I need it never to happn" he gritted with venom I his voice.

Asher started to thretan the demon telling him if he doesn't sort this out he will snap his neck in two and feed him to the caged hell hounds that luced below the mention in there dens waiting to be called apon.

The boy shakes at his words and noded in agreement not to get on Ashers bad side.

I pulled back from the door going to knocked on it but then deside to just barge into the room without asking.

The small demon walked out the room with fright in his eyes, he walked past me quickly and down the hall.

I looked at ashers burning dark blue eyes the iris of the eyes looked like they had turned red almost like a ghoul.

My hand rests on my hips as I look at him with norrowed eyes anoyed he treated people like this.

He doesn't relies I'm there for a while unill I cough clearing my throat signaling that I was there.

He turned his head around and looks up at me trying to control his anger around me more even though it was clear he couldn't do it.

"Why are you in here?" He asked with a growl as he looked over to me.

I didnt answer I just looked at the pills on the floor then up at him with folded arms.

"What's not happen yet" I ask with a scowl.

Asher lookes at me his eyes finally fading from a the red colour, they was still dark though, his eyes were almost dark anoph to be the might sky but he was able to calm himself anoph to control the colour of them infront of me.

"Nothing" he growles out.

I knew he was lieing and I knew he wasn't going to tell me so I walk out of the room and went for a walk around the gigantic house.

My ears twich to the sound of screening and tourCher from down stairs, a flash of memory comes into my head from the last time I was down there.

I made him mad by going down there and not following by his rules.

An idea popped into my head causeing me to slowly walk down the wooden stair case, None of the demons were down torching people wich was good for me knowing that they wouldn't tell asher that I was down. 

I walked down the rows looking yet again at all the people on the floor.

There was so many of them as far as the eye could see.

When I got to one cell my nose wrincled up to the smell of sigerets  I looked over to see a boy probely at the age nineteen-years old (my age) he had dark scruffy curled hair, Dim grey eyes, he was wairing a black leather jacket and a grey top that looked like it had never been cleaned.

The boy looked at me and smirked holding his sigeret in his moth then blowing out a puff of smoke making me wrinkle my nose up more.

"What's wrong don't like hell" he asked smugly.

I went close up to the bars making me see him clearer.

The boy staired at me and came to the bars.

"So why you not caged up" he askes me.

I don't answer him and just go to walk away but before I can move he grabs the corner of my black skirt.

He manages to pull me close to the bars and pulls me so close that my face is pressed up against the bars and my hands feel like there glued to the bars, with as mutch strength as I could I try to push away, but it wouldn't work.

The boy moved his hand quickly grabbing my hair and yanking on it as hard as he could.

"What's so good about you? can he not look at you at hurt you?" he askes me with a smirk skimering his mischievous face.

He was mutch older then what he seemed that was now clear by his cloths.

They were from at least the fifties.

I manage to finally pull away with a scowl only to see him covered in cuts and scars all over his body.

"Ma'am you shouldn't be here. Please go back to the top?" A female demon asked as she looked at me.

The woman had a dark Brunner red coloured hair, her body was very slim, Her eyes a dark caremel brown.

She was wearing a beautiful flowing red dress with a golden necklace wrapped tightly around there neck.

A few other bits of jewelry sprinkled here and there with a small brotch of a owl on her sholdure.

I stared at her for a momment.

She was strange, she felt familiar to me but at the same time I couldn't recall why.

Shaking the thought away and just left going back upstairs to the main floor and finding my way outside.

"I wonder what that man ment? He couldn't look at me.."

The idea of the devil not being able to hurt me was strange but at the same time it was accurate.

He had never really put me in any harm or danger.

He had never touched me or smacked me like he did other humans.

I was some how in there eyes a guest of there world but at the same time I was a prisoner who only had a limited area to explore.

I walked back down the hall and huffed smirking when I saw a room open.

I walk up to the door and smiled playing my hand on the frame.

It was ashers room.

I had seen it once from when I went shopping with Toni but that was it every other time it moved away from me.

His bed was very big and regal, bigger then a double.

His walls were a beautiful dim grey blue colour as his bed sheets were light greys with a large range of pillows going from small to big and from fluffy to rough.

For a man that acted so cruel his bed was very soft and comfortable.

On his wall was some photos, I look at the photos to see the boy from the cell is in one, he had a pointy tail and big scayle birds wings with small spikes on his arms and some sort of bright color around his neck, in the photo he was weafing the same clothes the only diffrence was they was cleaner and looked newly bought.

"What did I tell you?" I hear an voice say behind me as I hear the door creak open more.

It was Ashet.

The devil.

"Answer me! What did I tell you!" He said and walked over slamming his hand by the side of my head.

I jump a bit in reaction to him, His black eyes started to pulse with anger and flickers from mine to all over my face.

"That room is off limets to you got it luce" he growles at me.

I don't answer him knowing it's kist going to get on his nerves more, why should I answer him.

"Do you understand me lucifer!" he gritted out.

Him saying my full name made me mad.

Only my mom got to call me that, I was her little demon and that was it I was her trouble maker and her best friend and none gets to call me that name no more.

My nose wrinkled up from annoyance as I scowl at him and nod my head slightly making him move his arm and extend it to me but I rudely decline and move away from him.

After a while of silence he just points out of the door telling me to leave the room.

Why wouldn't he want me to look around? why was I a prisoner to him just like everyone else here? Asher looked rally annoyed at the fact I had gone into his room but it was his fault for leaving the door open.

"I wonder who that girl was?" I think to myself for a momment.

She seemed familiar almost as if I had seen her before but there was no way I had.

She helped me to why?

"I wonder who she was?" I say out loud about go take another step when I bump into the woman again.

"Don't say sorry its okay" the woman said and smiled.

Up close she looked alot brighter her skin wasnt exactly than but healthy.

I just nodded and she saw and hummed.

The woman put her hand out to me and smiled as she hummed happily.

Walking down the hall I bumped into her again.

She now had a lather coat on and her hair all curled up into a nice hair style, on her feet were a beautiful pair of studded black boots.

"Who are you?" I ask curiously and raise a brow to her.

The girl smiled coming forwards to me and put her hand out with a smile resting on her face.

"I'm lillith" she said simply as I took her hand shakeing it slightly.

"You can call me lil though, And you are?" She asked with a smile.

"Lucy"

Lilith?

LILLITH?!

My head started to hurt at the idea of lillith and the devil being In the same area.

That's must have been cayous, there was no way they got on with eatchother but then again if the bible was in any way true I guess there hatred for god would help them both.

She didnt seem as bad as what people always said though.

She normally had somone with her to, her best friend I wounder were they was.

Lillith smiled she was very pretty and she didnt look like any demon or creature I had seen so far she just looked human that was it.

I wanted to ask if the stories about her was the same as the once in the bible, but I know there are so many variations of her story around the world and from other cultures that i didnt want to ask who she was exactly, instead we started walking down the hallway together going back and forth between us to ask and answer questions.

Once we reached the end of the corridor we was at the front of the devils home both of us laughing from some old stories we both told.

She seemed so nice and sweet.

"Hay you want to come shopping with me?" She asked

My head instantly nodded straight away.

Why not after all?

Plus I still had the devils card so I could get whatever I wanted.

Lillith smiled at my answer and whistled with her fingers in her mouth.

Within seconds a large car showed up and opened the doors to allow us in.

It was so mutch fun then hanging around with Toni or being around the devil.
