chapter 13: shopping

Lillith smiled at me happily as we walked into as many shops as we could trying on many pairs of cloths we liked, then buying them if we was happy with the way we looked In the mirror.

I smiled happily at the type of cloths she picked out for us both, they was always dark colours and matched very nicely with her style choice of hair or makeup it was as if she had been shopping for years.

She probably had been after all she was over 1000 years old, she looked as old as the earth but as young as the devil.

Looking in one of the shops I smiled seeing a beautiful long sleeved sholdure-less shirt dressed on a maniquen with ripped black Jean's and a pair of dark green and black wedge trainer boots, making me wish I had them as my own to wear just so i could feel like I was in control of what happened for once with me.

"So how long have you been in hell?" She asked me with a small smile laying on her lips.

I had to think for a momment.

I didn't actually know how long i had been in hell for, time felt so different here then it did back at home, everything felt like it was going slower like everything took longer to happen, or that there was more hours in the days and nights that went buy.

"I don't know" I said truthfully.

I looked at lillith gently laughing slightly at the large amount of bags she carried among her arms the loops of string rubbing against her arms and hands leaving large red lines behind from how mutch wight they carried.

Lillith tilted her head at me and scanned her eyes over me as if she was looking for something she had missed, or something she wanted to find.

After a while her eyes landed back on mine and she smiled.

"Well it can't be that long" she said and smirked as if that was ment to mean something to me, as if a small look could tell her how long the devil had kept me in his kingdom for.

"Now come on let's get that" she said and pointed at the cloths I was eyeing up across the road.

We wasn't in town for long but with in muinets we had bags full of amazeing cloths and things we wanted.

Even though we had nowhere to go nore anyone to date or go out with we even treated aware selves to some beautiful lingerine and long dinner dresses suited for a princess and a queen.

Witch in lilliths case was true in some way.

Everything on lilith always described her as the first wife of lucifer the fallen angel from heaven and then a demon that had a castel that would be over grown with thorns, thistles and briers, but up in person they seemed like any other girl that urnrd for the same love and attention I did.

The same respect to be on the same level as everyone else.

I couldn't see her being anything but good but I also couldn't imagen her with any kind of man.

Lillith quickly pulled me towards the car to drop aware many bags off so we had some free hands and more space to walk freely.

Aware next stop after the car was to get some food as we was both rather hungry from all of aware fun.

Lillith had some chinies noodles as I had a large box full of diffrent types of sushi causing me to smile happily at the food.

I gently picked up the small bottle of soy sauce and squeezed small amounts over my sushi making me hum at the savoury taste lingering in my mouth.

Today was the best day ever.

For once I wasnt left in a quiet room left to my thoughts for entertainment, left to the small amount of books I had already read over and over.

Instead I was outside taking in the warm fresh air hearing the loud noices of the city echoing off of eatchother but also wishing that I could just be home back in my own bed being able to do what i wanted.

I closed my eyes slolwy taking in all of the noice around me.

I could hear the sound of horns honking from cars the sound of fluttering feathers from a variation of birds and types of flying demons taking off into the sky, I could ear the noice of talking from people going in and out of shops getting groclseries and grabbing what they needed for themselves and there families.

All of it was disturbed though buy a sudden ringing and buzzing in my pocket.

A message had came through on my phone, I slowly pull my phone out and look at the screen to see what it was.

It was toni asking were I was and if I was okay along with another seven messages from him saying i shouldn't be alone and that the devil wouldnt be happy if he found out.

Another message from from the devil himself telling me i was stupid for leaving his home without toni and telling me to come back emidatly ending the message with the words.

Or else.....

Of course he would threaten somone to come back to him.

What else would the devil know?

I huff and shook my head and headed back into the city with lillith looking at all the unique shops I had never seen before.

A shop was even full of weapons for people to buy going from guns to small blades.

Throughout my time in the town my phone kept ringing and buzzing but I just ignored it for as long as I could.

"Hay lucy your hand" lillith said pointing towards my hand.

I slolwy look towards my hand wondering why she was looking at it only to see that the mark the devil had given me from aware deal was glowing and slolwy was starting to burn.

My phone once again rang and this time I answered in annoyance.

"What do you want?" I hiss down the phone at him with venom.

He treated me like I was his child, like everything I did I would get grounded for and sent to my room for misbehaving or talking back to him.

The only diffrence between him and a pearant was he was still acting like a child who didn't get his sweets or money on time for behaving.

"Get back to the house now lucy!" He barked down at me.

You could hear the anger in his voice as he growled down the phone at me, I had never hurde him so angry before at least not since I went down stairs.

The memory of that prisoner flashed in my head his dark hair all scuffed up and some strands curling over his eyes from being sperated from sweat, his dim grey eyes that held the years in his eyes as if he had seen enough for a hole life time and more, his gight black leather jacket and a grey top that had never been cleaned before clinging into his skin tightly.

He knew the devil personally some how.

He knew why I wasn't like all the other deals.

But how?

"Why should I!" I yell down at asher feeling the mark on my hand burn again making me gasp out in pain but also in shock.

He told me again to come back and I denied him yet again but the more I said denied him the more I could feel the burning on my hand growing stronger and stronger from the bond he had with the mark.

This was my punishment for disobeying somone who had more power then anyone ever should have held.

"Okay okay I'm coming back" she said and the pain instantly stopped.

The heat had gone and so had the glowing, it didn't even look like it had burned deeper or bled it just looked like a healed over wound but I could still feel the slight sting from were my blood boiled from the burning.

I gently rubbed the mark and looked over it wondering how diffrent my life would have been if I just said no to him.

Would I be back with chaise?

Would I have been alone?

There was many questions on what might have happened but no matter what I knew I could never take it back now.

Without another word that was it he hung up and I sighed heading back to the viacle only to see Toni leaning against it and looking at me with folded arms over his chest.

He slowly pushed up his glasses and pushed himself off of the metal door glaring past me at lilith.

"Lillith" he hissed out with a forked tounge like a snake would, then again he was a snake.

I had never noticed before but I could now see small hidden scale Mark's on his forehead cheeks and neck they seemed to have darkened his skin.

Lilith ssmirked at Toni's anger and waved buy to me as she flicked her hair and walked away.

Before she was fully out of view she yelled.

"Dont worry I'll make sure your shopping gets to you" she said and smiled before turning back around and walking away once again.

The comment made me laugh slightly at how confident she was and how the devil didn't faze her.

Toni huffed rolling his eyes his scales slowly fading away returning the colour back to his cheeks and fourhead.

He pulled the door open for me and motioned for me to get in.

                          ☆☆☆☆☆☆

"What was you thinking!" The devil yelled angrily at me.

Once again he was mad at me, he was furious.

His nose looked like it was flaring as he breathed and his hair was sticking out in random areas from him pushing it back so mutch.

He walked up close to me causing me to back up against the wall and look up at him as he came closer and closer to me untill his breath almost mixed with mine.

My eyes moved away from his looking around his room for something else to focus on as he yelled at me.

My eyes landed back on a fresh packet of tablets on his table and some papers with a angelic winged sigual stamped onto them with wax like what they used to do with letters so you knew they wasnt tampered with.

"You never go out without me knowing ever again got it lucy? You dont talk to lilith again and you never! Ever! Go down those stairs again" he said and looked at me.

"Do you understand?"

I didnt answer him.

I didnt want to cave in to him.

It wasn't fare why should he have so mutch h power just becuse he was the king of the dead.

"DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND!!" He repeated again slower and louder.

I gave a simple nod and he moved away back to his desk and sat down at his chair.

He pushed his hair back once again and looked up at me.

"You can go now!" He growled out.
