CHAPTER 001: LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Hell, a dark and burning realm filled with torment and misery of all those who are sent there. The realm of Hell was a dark and demonic place were the evil of all existence exist. Only the truly evil and corrupted souls are sent to be torture for all eternity.

The skies is black and red having a large hole in the middle of sky leading up to Heaven. Right directly towards the large hole a larger crater is located right beneath it. Looking at the hole it stretches about thousand deep meter, having different sizes reaching towards the bottom. The crater was created during Lucifer fall from Heaven. There were nine circle levels created by the fall. Each of the nine circle levels had it king's in charge of ruling over it.

Beneath all the nine circles located in the ninth circle. A cold winter place with a wide spread out lake, the lake was filled either many tortured souls forced to freeze in the cold winter waters of the lake.

On the end of the cold lake stood tall magnificent palace on top of a block of ice. The palace was brilliantly made to stand on top of the block of ice, it was luminous and eye catching. The palace was craft from many rare materials that were only found in the deepest parts of Hell. It was crafted from jaspers, onyx, sapphire and many other materials. The palace was Pandemonium the palace of Lucifer the fallen angel.

The tortured souls inside the freezing water glare up towards the palace hoping to reach it one day, but none of them could ever reach it shores. They all wished to reach the inside of the palace, with their knowing if they were able to reach the palace they will be free from all torments in Hell. Everyday they would tried moving towards the palace, but a large wave would strike at them pushing them back, living them far from their eyes could see the palace.

The palace.

Inside the palace throne room. Sitting down with a blank glare towards the door, Lucifer was sitting down on his throne. It throne was covered with many rare materials used to build the palace. Lucifer throne stood meter tall than the ones beside it. The thrones that stood beside his belong to the other Princes of Hell.

"Huh, this wall in front of me and even this doors don't mean anything to me anymore, I've grown tired looking at it now, it about time I made my move." Lucifer said as he stood from his throne, he began walking towards the door. He paused before he could open the door. "I think I should leave Hell for a bit. But, this guys could destroy the palace while I'm gone, dammit! The last time I left them alone with it, Hell almost turned into the next Tartarus. Those six fools are not assurance to safe guarding Hell, but I do want to leave, huh!!"

He grabbed his head with frustration. Lucifer knew that if he took one step outside of Hell his beautiful palace was going to be history for sure. Suddenly, a feeling of firm took control over him then he walked outside the throne.

Walking down towards the first floor he came across Mammon who was walking towards him. He wore a gold tailor jacket, with gold pants. He had gold necklace swinging on his neckline. Mammon had short silver blonder hair and demonic red eyes. He was one of the seven Princes of Hell and the sin of greed.

"Luc, what are you doing down here? This is a surprise seeing you down here at the first floor, usually you'll be in the throne room. What has brought you downstairs?" Mammon muttered with a curious expression towards seeing Lucifer. Lucifer gave a slight laugh walking pass him. But Mammon again stopped him by asking.

Lucifer with a irritated look, rolled back his eyes saying, "I'll be going out the palace for a bit."

Mammon looked shocked and surprised in hearing Lucifer words. He was surprised to see Lucifer serious about leaving the palace. "What, what? Do you mean out, out?" He was looking confused at Lucifer. It had been many couple of months since he had left the palace.

"It means I'm going out. I'm leaving Hell for a bit. I'll be gone for maybe four or five, please don't destroy the palace while I'm gone." Lucifer said with a glare at Mammon.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you just kidding or this is for real, you're really going outside of Hell? Are you go to Heaven?" Mammon asked firmly staring at Lucifer. Lucifer swept his gaze aside looking at the wall, and back at Mammon.

"Heaven. That would be fun, but I'm leaving for Earth." said Lucifer. He started to walk away.

Mammon widened his eyes shocked. He was caught off guard by Lucifer saying that. He never thought Lucifer would visit that place again. "Earth, the human realm! You're going back there, for what? What do you want there?" He asked hoping to find out why Lucifer want to visit Earth.

The last time Lucifer's walked the Earth chaos rain over the whole world. Heaven angels were send down to Earth to get him back in Hell. He had caused so much chaos and misery the angels wanted him chained in Tartarus, a place that powerful beings like angels and other beings cannot escape from. But due to the unbalance that would happen if Lucifer would been imprisoned in Tartarus. Another angel war would beginning if he would have been imprisoned. To avoid everything Lucifer was banned to ever walk Earth again. If he was find walking the Earth again, a war would begin between Hell and Heaven.

Lucifer blankly stared at Mammon, "I'm aware its been awhile since I've visit the place but it would be fun seeing it again." He faintly smiled looking at Mammon. He was playing to have his fun with the mortals of Earth.

Seeing the expression on Lucifer face, Mammon casually grabbed Lucifer shoulder while he was about to walk off. "Finally, you're going to see how my hard work has paid off. Let me accompany when you're going there I want to show you how I've effected the place. Please Lucy."

Lucifer slightly looked towards Mammon with a serious expression. His looked was telling Mammon to take off his hand from his shoulder quick. Mammon seeing how Lucifer expression spoke towards him, he quickly removed hi hand off his shoulder.

Mammon slightly laughed saying, "I could show how many of those mortal we have corrupted since you've last appeared there, it's now owned by us." He smirked looking towards Lucifer.

"Us, us! What do you mean by us?" Lucifer face quickly turned enraged hearing Mammon claim on earth. The earth was his and his alone, no one had the right to take claim of it beside him.

A intense aura was realised towards the direction of Mammon. The pressure from the aura Mammon froze with sweat pouring across his face. Mammon lost his the will to talk again looking at Lucifer menacing glare, he slightly laughed saying, "No, no, you heard it wrong Lucy. We have the place fully prepared for your arrival. Its your place not our, sorry for being rude."

"I was trying to say that it has been awhile since you've gone to the human realm. Many cultures and civilizations have been all erased from history, that world has become a playground for the lesser demons to prey upon like rats being hunted by cats. You last visited in the 16th century, back in the Salem witch trials remember. Many things have change since that time. They were killing each other like mindless animals back then. That world belongs to us now finally, sorry you."

Lucifer calmed his face looking at Mammon saying, "Good to hear that time has pass but I am still the king of Hell. The Salem event was fun for awhile but it ended up boring me in the end. What I need right now is to find something that could interest me again, Hell is looking kinder peaceful at the moment."

"But it has been long since you've visited the place. It has change a lot Lucy, you might not to recognize it for really I'm not joking around with you," said Mammon.

"Who do you think I am, you think I'm some kind of fool that wouldn't find his way out of that world, haha," Lucifer slightly laughed, in Mammon thinking he'll get lost in that realm. "I've been around longer than you boy I've witness many universes being rebuild, and some being created."

Lucifer walked off heading towards the portal gateway. He stood in front of the portal gateway, a black void stood in front of him. The portal was able to travel through time and every place in the universes. Suddenly demonic wings emerged from his back. He quickly took flight towards inside the portal gateway, as he pulled inside the gravitational force pulled him hard in undergoing the mass inside the portal that could crash anything weaker with ease, towards his right side a many souls were being transported down to Hell through the other gateway. The empty space in between tried pulling him in to the obyss of the empty space.

Moments later, Lucifer came out from the end of the portal gate. In a hero stance he firmly lifted up his head inquiring about his surrounding. The aroma of the grass crossed his noise as his hands touched it beneath his feet. The harsh winds blew at him coming from the west towards his face. He slowly gazed around he taring around, seeing that he was in some kind of backyard at somewhere in southern Oakland California. It was located in a country called American.

Due the familiar aroma through the air Lucifer quickly recognized where he was. American was a cursed land that was looming over with demonic energy. Even when his been so long since his last visit to the place the stench remains.

Lucifer looked up towards the sky, seeing millions and millions of stars that covered the black sky above, and the moon was fully gazing at him like it knew that he was there. He returned his demonic wings inside himself, emerging them back out as their appearance had changed. The wings now look majestic and elegant white covered with feather all around.

He then took towards the sky to get a better view of where he was. Seeing, he realized that the place had change a lot since his last visit like Mammon stated him. He was left surprised by how the place had change throughout the many years he was gone. Feeling he wind blowing on his wings it was great being back to the human realm. The gravitational force on the human realm was much weaker than the one in Hell, it allowed them to fly very fast than when in Hell.

Lucifer faintly smiled in seeing how much the had been damage and corrupted it had become since last been there. The work of his other deadly sins was paying off, the infect they have on the humans was amazing and astonishing, People were committing crimes like robbery, drug dealing, corruption and shootings.

"I finally see now why Mammon was so eager to show me this what they do in their lunch hours, haha," Lucifer slightly laughed. He was proud in the work the others were doing in showing God that his favourite creation were also sinners too.

He smiled with a devilish look saying, "Well done you guys, well done indeed you guys. Mammon was right the world had changed for me it had changed for."

Lucifer amused. "Due to those two Mammon and Asmodeus. I can see the lust that Asmodeus had infect on this world and the greed that Mammon had infected himself on this world, it's like a mark that is never going to be removed. This beings that my father holds dear, look at them now sinning like there's no punishment in the next life. Their actions here would lead them down to Hell so I could torture them all." He faintly laughed.

Suddenly, a scene caught his eyes as a mysterious woman court his attention. She had long black hair, that reach through her shoulders, wearing a medium long red dress, showing her smooth curved figure, and red heels on both her feet. his head, then began to look at his left side.

She was walking inside the train station alone, not knowing that she was being followed behind by three figures that appeared to be dangerous. Lucifer flew down on top of build close to the train station. He was amused by the act that will take place in front of him. The three figures wore similar matching masks on their faces, they followed behind her when she walk inside the train station.

Standing at the subway waiting for the train the arrive. The woman solid in place waiting for the train. The three figures slowly approached her pretending to be walking pass her, they quickly surrounded her pointing guns at her.

Looking from a far, Lucifer nodded his head saying, "This humans will never change. There'll always be sinners forever." He stared aside with a frown expression.

The first figure's forcefully tried grabbing away the woman hand bag. The woman gripped tight refusing for her hand bag to be taken away hand bag. The second figure's gripped hard towards her hair, she slowly lost her grip of the hand bag course it to be taken off her hands. The third figure's placed his gun on her head.

"Stop fighting back this is the way of the world. Either you give up or die here lady," The third figure's said looking at the woman.

"Give back what you have taken now. Don't expect I'll go easier on you three I woke in a bad mood today, return it you fools. You guys should go found yourselves some good jobs so you could live a life that would make your families happy. People like you who take other people hard work make me sick!" The woman's stated with a enrage expression. She showed no hesitation towards the issue in front f herself. She stood in firm precipitous towards the three figures.

Feeling of amazement filled Lucifer face. Seeing this woman stood standing bravely against three men filled his heart with a unusual feeling. He thought back on his last visit, women that time were as not strong or courageous like this one that stood before his eyes. Women that time were simply weak creations that were commanded by the men. Since the beginning of the first women Eve who was Adam bride, she was a slave to Adam. That act of behaviour enrage Lucifer who prefer people to do their own thing. would prefer their own thing.

The first and second figures tried grabbing both of the woman arms, she quickly shrewd out the way. She easily tapped both of them in their shoulder. She sneered towards the both of them.

"You have a choice to leave now unharmed, or maybe you all prefer I beat you bloody and near death. I'm fine with any of your chosen one." The woman's said looking at the three figures. She was even nervous or anxious towards the men. She then throughout a kick towards the third figure kicking him in the balls, living him t drop the gun towards the ground. She kicked away the fallen gun realising flutter of punches living them beaten on the ground.

'Wow, a woman could move like that especially a human woman. She actually manage to defeat them I'm impressed. Who knew human women have come this far to be able to fight back. I'm amazed.' Lucifer astonished at the woman. The woman explained her name to be Sarah towards the defeated figures.

"Another day and another defeat. I guess crime isn't going to disappear at any time soon. It like I'm wasting my time doing this now. So that's means I have to work double shift." Sarah faintly laughed.

One of the man fired up his guns while she was walking away. Lucifer quickly flew in time to blocked the bullet, catching it in his hand. He swiftly grabbed the three men up as flew away with them.

Sarah turned her back to look around the shot. She unbelievable looked stared widened surprised by the disappearance of the three men. Her mind wandered if she had hallucinated fighting the three men, but she felt it wasn't the case but something happened to the men.

Lucifer dropped the three men outside the station. The men's stood up surprised to be outside the train station. Back inside the train station Sarah was staring around the train tracks for the three men, but their was no sign. She did not know that the men had been sent outside the train station by Lucifer. On the other side of the train station Lucifer was gazing at her, seeing how confused she was.

Sarah rushed back outside the station to look around. She did not spot the three men outside the station. She was confused and weird-out by the sudden disappearance of the three men. She quickly rushed back towards a small motel a few blocks away from the train station.

Arriving inside the motel she casually walked up towards the stairs, she walked inside red door. The room was small having large double bed, a small TV, a small fridge, a drawer, and a bathroom.

Delighted to be back inside her room she took off all her clothes to take a bubble bath. She first turned on the water preparing her bath, she sat on top of the bed was wandering what happened in the train station. After the water filled the bath she step inside it. Inside the bath she was still wandering the same thing again and again, hoping to find a clue of some sort. She put her head under the water.

Sarah got out the bath, socking her hair with a towel. She easily put on the clothes on her bed. She sat down on bed turning on the television. At the front watching from a far, Lucifer was watching from the outside window from across the street of the motel. Using his demonic eyes to peek on Sarah as she fascinate him. Sarah was not aware of his present watching her.

The next morning, Sarah got off in a hurry to leave the motel room. She grabbed a couple of things like her purse and phone. Moments later she arrived outside a restaurant. It had white cult on the tables, wooden chairs and lovely decoration appearing to be a fancy restaurant.

Two women walked towards her when entering the restaurant. They both sat down on opposite sides of the table. The women names were Lily and Emily. Lily had short black hair and dark brown eyes. She wore a black leather top, black jeans, and black high-heeled boot. She had a firm and unwary appearance about her that showed that she was not to be messed with. She slightly smiled towards Sarah.

Emily had long dark hair, hanging across her shoulders and brown eyes. She wore a long white dress, with nice earrings on her ears, and long brown boots. Unlike Lily who had a firm appearance Emily had a peaceful and caring appearance. "Hey Sarah. I have missed you." She faintly smiled saying.

"Yeah, how long has it been since I last saw each other?" Lily said looking at Sarah and Emily.

"Haha, it has been a while. I am really happy seeing you two again," Sarah stated with a warm feeling towards Lily and Emily. She slightly looked on the table as if she was trouble by something.

Seeing this expression on Sarah face, Emily look turned concern for Sarah. "What has you worried Sarah? Don't say it's nothing I know when you do that face there's something on your mind. What's the problem?" She asked looking at Sarah.

"Nothing is wrong Emily. I'm just so tired from last night," Sarah replied with a slight smiled.

"Don't start with that again," said Lily. She firmly glared at Sarah while saying. "You and your games again. You don't understand what youre doing will get you kill one day fool."

"From seeing your behaviour now, something big happened to you last night. There's definitely something that's bothering you, tell us we'll listen to what you have to say," Emily said with a sweet and soft voice. She was really concern by Sarah behaviour towards the conversation.

"I don't know if you'll believe me or not. But last night while I was doing my late night runs."

"Runs," said Lily.

"Yeah, my runs. A couple of foolish idiots tried messing with me, so I quickly handed them a serious beating."

"So why doing look concern about this, you've always beat-up bad guys, what's the point of you being concern by it?" Lily asked. She had a worried facial expression. Emily had a sad look with glass tears on her eyes.

"Don't tell me playing hero has gotten tiring so soon after you've started. Or should I say heroine," Lily said, firmly glaring at Sarah.

"I'm not even close on being done with it. When there's crime I'll always be there to fight it," Sarah stated with a serious tone. Her expression said it all as she was firm in her statement.

"Good for you," Lily said being sarcastic towards Sarah. Sarah got the hint and she slightly laughed with a bit of tension building between her and Lily.. Emily saw the tension building between the two and she tried to easy the tension at the table. But both Sarah and Lily were not having it.

"Hey guys, where not here to fight among our selves. It has been a while since we've sat in the same table or in the same room, I'm not going to have this now you hear," Emily said with a firm expression. Her changed expression surprised both Sarah and Lily, who usually know Emily as a kind and peaceful person. But now she had a serious expression an warning them. How the tables have turned for them now.

Lily sneered looking abruptly at Emily. She was court off guide by Emily shocking words. "Okay, I'm listening." She said looking at Sarah.
