Cowardice

***

The head of the Northern part of hell saw Max marching to his gates from the top of his watch tower. He sighed briefly as he thought of what to do with their new found freedom. Lucifer had just giving him and his fellow guilty souls the freedom that they had desired for a long time, and he was not ready to loose it just yet. He thought really hard about what to do, if he should stand on Lucifer's side and comand his soldiers to repel the vampire soldiers that where marching fearlessly to his gates. Or if he should just surrender and spare all the bloodshed. But if he surrenders he knew that Lucifer might feel betrayed, because they had a sort of a deal. Their freedom for his support. But he had not assured Lucifer of any support, the last thing he said before leaving the meeting was that he was going to think about it. Now he had made his decision.

Max and his soldiers got to the gate and halted. "Open your gates in peace and we would talk., But force us to break it and face war." Max thundered. The Leader of the guilty souls sighed deeply, it was tough for him to make a decision, but he had to make one anyway...  "Open the gates and let them in" he comanded, and the guards obeyed, without complain they flung the gate open to let max and the vampire army in.

When they got in the guards led Max to a make shift table that their leader had created and where he sat waiting for max to come in. Max sat down on the table opposite the leader of the Guilty souls with the flaming sword glowing in his right arm. The leader shook in fear as he saw how feirce and dangerous the weapon looked. "Wow, so it is true." The leader said once max was comfortably sitting on the chair opposite him. "So it is true that you have the flaming sword, with this Lucifer will fall to his kneels. Begging for mercy." He added.

Max sighed trying to push that aside, pretending as though what the leader had said did not make him feel proud of himself and his son for finding the blade which God himself hid. "So what do you say? Me or Lucifer." Max asked.   The leader bowed. "Obviously you, sir, I would fight for you, but I only ask that we would be free during your regime."  

Max chuckled aloud. "You are in no position to negotiate, but anyway i might consider that if you don't give me any problems." 

"We will not, I assure you." The leader replied.

"Then so be it." Max said as he stood up  from his sit. "Tell your people who their new king is." He demanded.

"All hail king Max." The leader declared. And all the Souls present replied. "All hail King max" as they bowed on their knees.

"Alright that's enough, you can turn back to yourself now." Luciana said to Leo. Then he turned back to himself, but this time he was completely naked, "eww." Sia said as she threw a piece of cloth at him, which he used to cover himself up. "Is that proof enough?" He asked. Luciana was about to say something when her phone rang. She looked at her screen but it was an unknown number. She hesitated, but then she thought it might be Wendy so she picked the call.

"Hey, it's Wendy." The caller's voice sounded.  

"Wendy, what is going on?" She asked. Thanking her stars that he had called.

"I think there's been a little problem over here".

Luciana's heart skipped a beat. "Is he dead? What happened to him. "

"No he's alive, but the vampires got him before me." Wendy spoke.

"What? Why would you let them get him first?" She thundered.

"Well you did not expect me to abduct him like they did. Did you?. I tried to talk to him but he did not listen to Reason."  Luciana sighed as she began to think of what she could do to help.. "should I come over, I think we can free him together. Shit this is all my fault." She said panicking a bit.

"No. Don't come over, I think that that's what they want, if they wanted him dead, he'd be dead already. He is alive for a reason and that's you, so I'd advise you to stay there.." he replied.

Luciana sighed. "Okay fine, and please keep me posted." 

"Sure." The line went dead. Luciana sighed as tears filled her eyes. Leo saw it as an opportunity to talk. They had not really known his real mission on earth, his alpha1 had made a promise to Felix to repay his favour of sparing their lives, so he sent Leo to search for Felix and repay that favour.  When Felix saw Luciana and the rest their story seemed like something that Felix would do. So he thought bringing them back to Felix would suffice for  the payment of the favour. But now he felt pity for them when he saw Luciana she'd tears and how they loved themselves. It reminded him of his pack back at home.

Now he did not know what to do. .

"We should take this guy to the hotel instead of sitting here with him, there's a lot more spacious and we won't have to watch him all day." Linder suggested. It was a nice idea but Felix needed Josh to be where she could easily find him when she comes to look for him. So he was thinking of leaving Josh here in her apartment and planting electrical alarms that will trigger if anybody stepped in. they will be able to hear it in the hotel, and since they where fast enough, they could run down before the person made any escape plans.

But then he remembered that Luciana was the best bounty Hunter in the universe and that no matter where he took Josh, she was definitely going to find him if she wanted to. "Alright let's move him to the hotel., He'd have one room all to him self." Felix said as they carried Josh out of the house. Wendy saw them move out of the apartment with Josh, and thought it was the best time to carry out his rescue mission..
