Chapter 2: The Story of Aliza Harrelson

Four years ago...in the kingdom of Gehenna, there once was a beautiful, kind, and compassionate fair-skinned woman named, Queen Dorothea Harrelson, who has been given a magical artifact, for her 22nd birthday, an amulet that was shaped of a blue crescent moon that had a little silver star inside of it and had white star-shaped rhinestones around it.

Queen Dorothea thought it was a beautiful gift, unaware that the amulet contained powerful, unspeakable magic.

When Queen Dorothea was 22 years old, her 12 year old daughter, Crown Princess Aliza Harrelson, was in her bedroom, playing with her dolls and her dollhouse when suddenly, she screamed once she heard a loud whip from outside her bedroom window. Once she looked outside of her window, she gasped when she saw her evil father and his imps whipping the poor servants on ther backs while watching them work and toil in the garden.

Tears in her eyes, the frightened little princess ran to her mother and hugged her legs. "Mama," Aliza said, frightened, "Daddy is hurting those workers again." Angry and fed up of her evil husband's evil deeds, Queen Dorothea said with determination, "Right, time to stop him. He's done much evil far enough."

Walking outside to the Gehenna Castle garden, Queen Dorothea marched up to her evil husband and much to her horror, she saw Him putting the servants out of their misery, killing them to death with their whips and cords.

One of the servants cried, "Please, stop! We're finished with our work!"

Another one pleaded, "Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"

Queen Dorothea had enough of her husband. "Lucifer Harrelson," she yelled, snatching the whip from His hand, "Would you please STOP hurting these hard-working people?"

Lucifer turned around and saw his wife's eyes, welling up in tears. He chuckled, shaking His head. "Why do you care about these morons anyway?" He scoffed. "They need to learn how to work or else, they won't eat." Queen Dorothea snapped, "These people are not morons; they're kind, caring people who work day and night to help keep Gehenna clean and healthy."

Lucifer shrugged, apathetically.

Princess Aliza slowly walks up to her father and asked, "Why are you being so mean and cruel, Daddy?"

Lucifer knelt down to His daughter, "Because Aliza, being cruel is in our family blood. It's in our genes. I, personally, enjoy watching innocent people suffer." He chuckled evilly and ruffled Aliza's long, black hair, making it disheveled.

Aliza crossed her arms and said, scowling, "I wish you were a kind king that treats people with kindness."

Lucifer laughed, hysterically. "Treat people with kindness?" Me? A kind king?"

He kept on laughing so hard, He held his stomach and tears of laughter started to fall from His eyes. "You want me to be kind and caring to these idiots?"

Queen Dorothea glowered at her husband, narrowing her brown eyes and said, "You're despicable, Lucifer, you're always cruel and malicious."

Lucifer suddenly stopped laughing and said, "Well, my dear wife, cruelty is in my blood. You can call me, "The Cruel Ruler."

He snatched His whip back from His wife and continued whipping the servants as the servants were crying in pain and begging for mercy.

Later on, that night, as the dark sky were filled with red, ominous clouds, the kingdom of Gehenna was quiet and still, as Queen Dorothea and Princess Aliza were kind enough to help the poor servants take warm, soothing baths, cleaned their wounds and feed them warm food to sustain their weakening bodies. The servants were eternally grateful for their kindness and they rewarded them with a royal banquet in the dining hall.

By the time it was getting late, the Royal Harrelson family gathered around the table in the dining hall and began to eat their dinner.

They were having steak, mashed potatoes and meat kabobs with cranberry apple wine.

As Aliza began to eat her dinner, she felt quiet and a little disturbed by her father's dark presence.

In her mind, she could sense that Lucifer isn't really her real father.

He's probably some gold-digger.

As the family ate their dinner, Queen Dorothea excused herself from the dinner table and headed upstairs to go to the bathroom.

While she was gone, Lucifer felt like this was the perfect opportunity to give Aliza the upper-hand.

He pounced on the table, grabbed Aliza by her dress collar and pinned her against the kitchen wall.

He bellowed angrily, "Do you think I'm stupid, huh?" "I saw you and your pathetic mother doing good to those good-for-nothing servants, giving them warm baths and feeding them warm food."

Aliza struggled to release herself from her evil father's grip as she tried to say, "Let me go, you wicked demon!"

Lucifer took this opportunity to transform into His demonic creature-like self and began to choke Aliza to death. He conjured up a cord with his hand and began to levitate Aliza into mid-air and she found herself on her back.

Lucifer grinned evilly and viciously striked Aliza on her back, causing her to scream in pain until her back had cuts and bruises and she began to bleed to death.

Lucifer conjured up a wet towel and forcefully puts it her mouth, to muffle her screaming as He continued to whip her, so no one, not even Queen Dorothea, could hear her or rescue her.

As Aliza closed her eyes and pretended to think happy thoughts, she felt that this was her first childhood trauma; childhood abuse.

Lucifer continued to whip his child until she couldn't scream anymore. Once he was finished, he looked at Aliza and chuckled evilly and said, "Now, I want you to promise me to always be evil and cruel to anyone you meet; otherwise if you disobey, you will have consequences. Understand?"

Aliza was horrified and shocked by her father's request. Gulping hard, she had no choice but to obey her father's commands.

"I understand, Father." she said, weakly and shakily with fear.

"Good", Lucifer said, satisfied. He lets Aliza go and she fell with a loud thud. Tears in her eyes, Aliza slowly rises up and was about to say something when she felt Lucifer giving her a hard blow across her cheek. He slapped her!

Angry and hurt, Aliza had enough strength left to push Lucifer against the wall and he fell on his back.

"I hope you rot in Hell, Father." She hissed at him. He wasn't afraid of her and neither was she afraid of him but deep in Aliza's heart, she knew that Lucifer wasn't her real father. 'I hate him'. She thought to herself.

Just then, they both heard footsteps approaching. Queen Dorothea was coming back!

Lucifer used his magic and levitated Aliza and himself back sitting down in the dining hall table and he quietly said, "Eat your dinner and pretend like nothing happened."

Aliza, still shaking from fear, gulped hard and obeyed her father and silently ate her dinner as Queen Dorothea sat back down and began to eat her food.

Lucifer began to smile slyly at Aliza and as she gazed into Prince Lucifer's eyes, she felt like her kind spirit was slowly fading. She held back the sad, hurtful tears as she felt crimson red blood dripping from her blood-stained dress from her back as the wounds began to swell up.

Later that night, as Gehenna Castle began to slumber and everyone else went to sleep, Aliza was getting ready for bed, putting on her bedtime dress gown and putting her black hair into a long ponytail.

She climbed in her bed and tucks herself in with the warm blankets as the cold, bitter air from the window came and blew hard. As she settled into her bed, she felt uncomfortable. But not from the soft bed, but she felt uncomfortable in her father's presence and His evil spirit kept haunting her in her mind. As she tries to close her eyes and falls asleep, she kept shivering in fear and angry, hurtful tears flooded down from her eyes. She kept thinking to herself, 'I hate my father', I really hate him. I wish he was dead!' 'I wish I had a kind family, loving parents and maybe even a sister or a friend, who will treat me with kindness and love.'

Everytime Aliza wished for a loving family, her heart began to break. She felt hopeless and alone in the world. Most of all, she felt fear, cynicism and depression and anger in her spirit. For 10 mintues, she kept wishing until she finally went to sleep.

When she fell asleep, Aliza constantly tossed and turned, having vivid nightmares about Prince Lucifer striking the servants to death. She could hear the servants crying in pain and then she dreamt that He was hurting her physically with His cord, constantly beating her to death. She hated it that Lucifer was so nefarious and malicious, without caring for no one but Himself.

Aliza moaned and groaned in her sleep, tossing and turning vigorously, trying to fight the nightmares. She dreamt that she could hear Lucifer's evil laugh, echoing. Suddenly, she woke up, screaming and gasping in fear.

Just then, a gust of wind blew and she felt shivering in the cold. She covered herself with the blankets and looked around in her bedroom.

She didn't feel safe in her castle-home; she felt scared and frightened, like a little kitten lost in the city.

She gulped hard and got out of bed and walked up to the mirror, looking at her reflection. She didn't love herself, she didn't see herself as the kind, caring and lovely Crown Princess of Gehenna; instead, she saw an ugly creature inside of her; cruel, mean-spirited and evil. 'I know who I am', she thought to herself bitterly, 'I'm a mean-spirited, cruel, hateful girl!' Aliza got so angry with herself, Lucifer and her life, she grabbed a decorated glass figurine of a lovely princess and looked at it with hatred. As she gazed upon the glass figurine, she remembered Lucifer's cruel words, echoing in her mind.

'I want you to promise me to always be evil and cruel to anyone you meet,' Lucifer had said. 'Understand?'

With angry tears in her eyes flooding, she angrily threw the glass figurine across her room, shattered to pieces.

Just then, as Aliza crawled back into bed and went back to sleep angrily and fearfully, she wasn't fully aware that the magic spell Lucifer placed was taking its full effect on her; the Needle Ice's dark magic and Frost Flowers's magic flew threw her window and as she falls asleep, the Needle Ice's magic went inside of her heart and at first, it turned icy cold, then it turned numb. Although, she didn't feel the dark magic or the physical pain, but her brown eyes turned dark red and Lucifer's evil soul overtook her body as the Frost Flowers's magic penetrated into her hands, making them cold and numb.

As Aliza went to sleep, she was unaware that Lucifer was in her room, standing in front of her, grinning and cackling evilly.

He rubbed his hands together and said triumphantly, "My evil plan has worked! The magic spell is working and now, all of the Tri-State Kingdoms has been cursed under my control and there will be nothing but cruelty, malice and complete darkness."

He gave His daughter a kiss on the forehead and whispered into her ear, "Evil dreams, my princess." He quietly tiptoed to Aliza's dresser and pulled out her amulet that Queen Dorothea gifted her from the drawer and pulled out the Needle Ice and Frost Flowers' magic from His pocket and sprinkled onto the amulet, a magical dark blue light glowed brightly and it turned from blue to black.

After that, Lucifer chuckled evilly and quietly tiptoed out of the bedroom.

Aliza's innocent soul was now evil and as she went to sleep, her evil spirit began to develop throughout her mind, heart and soul and she wasn't the only victim that has been cursed and put under Lucifer's evil spell.
