Iaosur was talking to Kitti when he cringed at the sudden pain he felt in his hand. The demon excused himself and disappeared, patting Chen on the way out, wiping the blood on his white shirt.968Please respect copyright.PENANAHzyUsUOpuW
968Please respect copyright.PENANA340GYWXbCM
Zoe was in the middle of the crowded street, turning around aimlessly, searching for the source of energy.968Please respect copyright.PENANAfPvvw4ZaqS
968Please respect copyright.PENANAdvA05ZyM2U
Iaosur appeared behind her, his sign burning up his arm, "What are you doing?" He sneered at his commander.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyBkZhwMzge
968Please respect copyright.PENANAgHEi5t54hj
Zoe ignored him completely and turned to her right, feeling Eneizar's presence coming closer and closer.968Please respect copyright.PENANAeO489LxHo2
968Please respect copyright.PENANAyO3LnIxgxZ
“Do you know where he is?” She asked him once he got in sight.968Please respect copyright.PENANALniXn9eNc2
968Please respect copyright.PENANAyaD2XQnnW9
Zoe's mind was fogged by Ezekiel's well being so Eneizar's happy face was meaningless; but not for Iaosur, who could think clearly and objectively.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuwc8PxZwKh
968Please respect copyright.PENANANXsAnFS2xT
Iaosur raised an eyebrow and pushed aside the stinging in his arms, “You look ravishing tonight, don't you?”968Please respect copyright.PENANARn5V4g7Nuv
968Please respect copyright.PENANA8AZjzRf0WL
Eneizar shrugged and walked closer.968Please respect copyright.PENANAaWyIkKmGuK
968Please respect copyright.PENANAGSMotoPfq9
“Ezekiel’s got fooled by a demon and we have to find him,” Zoe interfered, her breathing becoming more and more elaborated and her heart cringing.968Please respect copyright.PENANAvxvfHsNTVx
968Please respect copyright.PENANAkzaDoIfYPr
“I've seen him. I know who’s the demon that fooled him.” Eneizar responded, looking way too calm compared to Zoe's panicked expression.968Please respect copyright.PENANARpmeB2emnc
968Please respect copyright.PENANAFK9NXbRNZx
Iaosur folded his arms in front of his chest and raised an intrigued eyebrow, “Oh, how lucky of you,” The angst demon started sarcastically, “Who is it, then?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAU22rPERH7z
968Please respect copyright.PENANA41C151znCY
“Hiset.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAbHOrc905rn
968Please respect copyright.PENANA2s82sonQrb
Iaosur furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while Zoe completely bought the answer as if it was the right one.968Please respect copyright.PENANAJKK8aPoqxd
968Please respect copyright.PENANAVDzfIjeGu2
“He is a greed demon as well but he got fed up with Mammon and decided to help Asmodeus instead. That’s why he knew about Ezekiel’s decision.” Eneizar continued, explaining something that wasn't making sense for Iaosur.968Please respect copyright.PENANAAlB4WrmeIZ
968Please respect copyright.PENANAEWq4mei0Wa
“But Hiset was Zoe’s guardian and he would never go as far as endangering her legacy," Iaosur knew what he was saying; he's been a demon for a while.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqM1gndmwc3
968Please respect copyright.PENANAq1IF6lpy6y
Eneizar chuckled, staring at the angst demon bemusedly. Iaosur was one of the few souls in Hell who made a deal with one of the Princes and became a full fledged demon; for short, Iaosur has seen enough and knew enough so he wasn't as stupid as he was making himself look.968Please respect copyright.PENANAQp6URCzL9Q
968Please respect copyright.PENANACkBuXZ0Xtz
“That may be the reason. He liked her and backed off when it got too intense. On the other hand, that happened to Mehrdir as well but he didn’t back off and he won’t do it anytime soon. Moreover, she shares his feelings. It only seems logical that Hiset wants revenge.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAa6vR2seaiB
968Please respect copyright.PENANAh6CcLqZCy2
Iaosur tilted his head to the side and tapped his foot on the ground, feeling like something was very wrong with Eneizar's explanation.968Please respect copyright.PENANAl8g1Iqq6ES
968Please respect copyright.PENANAdQeLzCk8yF
But Zoe's mind wasn't registering everything Eneizar was saying; she was going with the flow, “Then that makes it my fault. Where is he?”968Please respect copyright.PENANA8pqSwCkYKM
968Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ot4hqUsaa
Eneizar rubbed his chin and thought how to answer without looking suspicious.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxHgOdhL0Hp
968Please respect copyright.PENANAzcgpHgTaXr
“Much like the hunters, Hiset knows about the cursed houses. He probably found one and got Ezekiel in there.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAUR8dcF5gxt
968Please respect copyright.PENANAT7kcc1Bp7x
Iaosur tugged on Zoe’s hand, having something to say.968Please respect copyright.PENANAV5SmY8liYp
968Please respect copyright.PENANAMBzB7pKIWY
“We should talk to the uppers, they should feel it. We can even ask the fairy since he’s an informant.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAJeA9L5opKy
968Please respect copyright.PENANAe09F6iVNny
She nodded and sighed, “Go tell Mammon about this. I’m sure he will be interested to find that one of his demons went against him. And, keep Jasper safe,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAWx95pYYnfz
968Please respect copyright.PENANAlVshf037r9
Iaosur frowned, “What? He has Elijah! He can take care of-“968Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mjinx94JO
968Please respect copyright.PENANAj4NFMXqxA8
She shook her head and stared deeply into his eyes, making him swallow the rest of the words. She really became his master, hasn’t she?968Please respect copyright.PENANApq70MQ9cdY
968Please respect copyright.PENANAt2o0pSM8ts
“That is exactly why I want you to keep an eye on him. You made Elijah a low level demon. You take responsibility,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAGWOIsE0ohs
968Please respect copyright.PENANATz07qYnI2L
Iaosur scoffed and disappeared.968Please respect copyright.PENANAcECgY0SSOn
968Please respect copyright.PENANA8ydLsf2GxD
Now that Iaosur was gone, Zoe's eyes narrowed at Eneizar and grasped her hand in pain.968Please respect copyright.PENANAmpUb1Ry8P4
968Please respect copyright.PENANABqEXIwHWCo
“You know where the house is. Take me to it.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAxgoDINWeyA
968Please respect copyright.PENANASTaGHSXdif
The demon smirked, “As you wish.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAXJpQEObFJm
968Please respect copyright.PENANAVPd8Bb2FEG
His plan was going smoothly.968Please respect copyright.PENANAXrGZb3aO4F
On the way to Essex, because she was aware what train she got into, Eneizar was very silent which wasn't a characteristic of his. She noticed ghosts watching her from afar and she noticed the uncertainty on their faces.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPYqtgqabuq
968Please respect copyright.PENANAY2tU7qCVxj
“They’re worried,” Eneizar started, grabbing her hand and squeezing it. That was a kind gesture and his kind gestures were suspicious.968Please respect copyright.PENANAjX31yCc1pk
968Please respect copyright.PENANAWQEdqtv3Ff
Truthfully, she knew something was fishy, she could feel it. Besides, demons were creatures who knew how to lie better than humans could say the truth and she learned that on her own skin a very long time ago. She lived with Mehrdir harassing her yet she still kept him close because he was the one thing that seemed real in her life; either that or she was a masochist.968Please respect copyright.PENANAvoewix5i6X
968Please respect copyright.PENANAICeq456QB3
“What has Ezekiel been doing for the last two days?” She asked, aware that Eneizar's answers may as well be all lies.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuEzVHrsARN
968Please respect copyright.PENANASgRsSZArPd
Eneizar raised an eyebrow and placed his hand back on his lap.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPsrZbncIDv
968Please respect copyright.PENANALqUSsmezCB
“How should I know? I’m not his babysitter.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAdFEpNWg7Um
968Please respect copyright.PENANAfeXUaMGLG8
She glanced at a certain ghost; the woman was shaking her head dismissively at the demon.968Please respect copyright.PENANARkr7eJHhw9
968Please respect copyright.PENANAhHSRfWHrE7
“How did you find out then?” Eneizar turned and stared at her but she wasn’t even looking at him; she was looking ahead with a poker face, “If Hiset was after Ezekiel, then you knew where Ezekiel was and what he was doing,” Her logic made sense.968Please respect copyright.PENANApWY9ktSvEy
968Please respect copyright.PENANAmjsA4uhhhv
“Just because I can track humans doesn’t mean I do it in my free time too. In Hell, there is this rule you have to obey or else you get punished. That is, never interfere when the enemy is your equal. For short, Hiset and I are high level demons; we can’t interfere into each other’s work. We can only interfere when a lower demon does it.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAp8BpcNjeih
968Please respect copyright.PENANApFlUfzdYxg
His theory made as much sense as bullocks. She knew that but she had to nod and go along with it; besides, what he said was completely contradicting with his past behaviour. He's been interfering a lot in Iaosur’s and Mehrdir’s businesses.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKLTvFw2oPL
968Please respect copyright.PENANA98zAqhan28
Once they arrived in Essex, Zoe’s sign started to glow more and more, her eyes started to burn and she was slowly tearing up. Eneizar grabbed her hand tightly and smirked because he knew she wouldn't be able to open her eyes and see where she was going anymore. She had to keep her eyes closed in order to suppress her powers and all Eneizar could think was perfect.968Please respect copyright.PENANAGO8lQTce76
968Please respect copyright.PENANANEwNdIMxAq
“Trust me. I will lead you to the house.” The demon muttered, holding her hand while wrapping one arm around her waist.968Please respect copyright.PENANAmLSUFJ8ELD
968Please respect copyright.PENANASjyHA95ppD
She scoffed, “Trust is a big word for you, Eneizar.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAtPDkKu3PDz
968Please respect copyright.PENANApjTi5RWslo
The vanity demon chuckled bemusedly. His plan was going better than he imagined.968Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Fwr4cD0O
Ezekiel woke up with a knot in his stomach, literally; his wound wasn’t bleeding anymore but it didn't look well either.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPkTC6A6j3w
968Please respect copyright.PENANAGhEDCHojV5
Thankfully, he had enough power to get up and look around; he was in the middle of an empty living room in a place that looked haunted.968Please respect copyright.PENANAjVpsBzVzIG
968Please respect copyright.PENANA1BkHaTnmlR
Ezekiel sighed and grabbed a hand through his messy hair, “I should have imagined,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAl35URauRNX
968Please respect copyright.PENANA8pfG66jXiB
He inspected the few things in the room: there was a table in the corner, right in front of a mirror; a fireplace, of course; there was no Siberian carpet on the floor, unfortunately but he was standing in a middle of a drawn circle with a few weird signs written around it. Ezekiel was in deep trouble.968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0mCA2MKF7
968Please respect copyright.PENANAoz51CbIAnb
“So you woke up,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAavgJgdWDcF
968Please respect copyright.PENANAWgrDm9JIHU
The person who appeared from thin air in front of the fireplace –kind of like Santa in his childhood stories- was none other than-968Please respect copyright.PENANAXBPmWu8U4R
968Please respect copyright.PENANADU8Q97d0MR
“Asmodeus,”968Please respect copyright.PENANA7dlP2dyNaA
968Please respect copyright.PENANAcV6qs8aFPY
The prince of lust was standing there in all his glory, watching his prey with fiery red eyes.968Please respect copyright.PENANA0ycWjWv48C
968Please respect copyright.PENANAGO5qPXxY79
“You got me here and this is a trap for Zoe, isn’t it?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAPS4KAUmiwX
968Please respect copyright.PENANAYTaG0Es0Os
The demon shrugged innocently, “Not exactly. You are an interesting human, Zek,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAT7W2fpGSAM
968Please respect copyright.PENANAFKF60Kh8h0
The human cringed when he heard the elder emphasize his name.968Please respect copyright.PENANAK8W0KcNiZ5
968Please respect copyright.PENANAM5jCo20gAL
“You raised from an insignificant something to Zoe’s legacy. You should be proud of yourself,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAXDwWK1RlWe
968Please respect copyright.PENANAn7vhbn8hrN
Ezekiel was proud of himself but not for that reason; he became family for Zoe. That was far greater than some stupid legacy.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkSlFVEbxUh
968Please respect copyright.PENANAEsvn8remwJ
The human scoffed, “What’s your point? I’m sure I have something of great importance if you appeared before me.”968Please respect copyright.PENANA3x1AMPN8Ib
968Please respect copyright.PENANAH0PuLdF9zo
“Your life. I want half of your life; more exactly, you die earlier and get to Hell while I get the rest of it,” Asmodeus explained, gesturing here and there.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqFI2DD8oDs
968Please respect copyright.PENANA4gPAlYqwe3
Ezekiel frowned and crawled closer to the prince, “How is that a deal? I will get to Hell anyway,”968Please respect copyright.PENANACKn7N3v037
968Please respect copyright.PENANAvXpVBirQo1
The demon prince rolled his eyes.968Please respect copyright.PENANABntv0En0Na
968Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ3b6wDIPm
“That little Zoe will do anything to keep you away from Hell. She’s ready to give up everything just so she could protect you but why do you need her protection when you can do it yourself?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAEdCcJbeI2B
968Please respect copyright.PENANA8JphpSdKZi
That was the beginning of some crazy idea; the human could already sense it.968Please respect copyright.PENANArhDyPhS6rR
968Please respect copyright.PENANAkLgjZtGgDP
“We both know you wanted to give half of your life to Mammon. That greedy demon knows nothing, he does nothing and most of his demons left him. I can do something for you, though,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAaY74lODgCw
968Please respect copyright.PENANA6F3uCMfHJi
Ezekiel rolled his eyes but gave in, “What can you do?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAi2wsfSLTMv
968Please respect copyright.PENANA2HzXbzCTlh
Asmodeus smirked.968Please respect copyright.PENANAvd7NSCNQUW
968Please respect copyright.PENANA6avcS3eUOw
“I can guarantee that I will take you under my wing once you die. I can also guarantee that you will be a free soul. You can do whatever you want!” He took a step closer and leaned in, “I can guarantee that you will become a demon, in the first place. Human souls rarely become something greater than food. What do you say?” He whispered, his red eyes staring intensely into Ezekiel's.968Please respect copyright.PENANAEvXMyuZADq
968Please respect copyright.PENANAqUWZN8fU6D
“I say no.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAuo1v89zYLO
968Please respect copyright.PENANASPjvLaVZaq
Asmodeus narrowed his eyes at the human, making him shiver at the sight of those deadly eyes.968Please respect copyright.PENANA05dq8MTlNa
968Please respect copyright.PENANAlJLzO42EvD
“I don’t want to have anything to do with you and creatures like you. You know nothing but lies and hatred,” Ezekiel spat with hatred and he had a very good point but that didn’t mean it reached the lust prince.968Please respect copyright.PENANAwzlQ8gUbAK
968Please respect copyright.PENANAuU47zPq14R
Asmodeus grabbed Ezekiel’s arm and turned it so he could see Zoe’s sign.968Please respect copyright.PENANAdopijjZCHB
968Please respect copyright.PENANAARPbqGoFyE
“If you don’t give it to me, I will personally lock Zoe in a cell in Neverland. That’s a place she will never be able to escape. She will rot,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAbYpiyXPfkz
968Please respect copyright.PENANAOzP5vFL8vF
That hit a sensible chord in the human. Zoe was family therefore, she became part of his life and he was ready to give up his pitiful life just so she would be safe; she was his weak point.968Please respect copyright.PENANA7pYptLT682
968Please respect copyright.PENANAT39TkHJ2Nu
“She has Beelzebub on her side,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAD2g29qaPva
968Please respect copyright.PENANA2OUGDskzLo
Ezekiel cringed when Asmodeus cut right through the middle of the sign. It hurt more than it was supposed to; it felt a lot like his insides were torn apart and someone was squeezing his heart; he coughed blood and one of his ears started to ring.968Please respect copyright.PENANASkQPhSSb6i
968Please respect copyright.PENANAlszmrdTFns
“This is the pain you will feel for eternity if you don’t do what I say,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAJA5Zm8heYv
968Please respect copyright.PENANAwIF1w3o4r0
Ezekiel closed his eyes tightly and embraced himself for worse but it didn’t come. Asmodeus decided that physical pain wasn’t very useful so he tried something else. He smirked and made a sign for someone to enter.968Please respect copyright.PENANA1urwoxftCD
968Please respect copyright.PENANAwVqfdcvNFm
Ezekiel’s eyes widened, “Alice! What have you done to her?”968Please respect copyright.PENANA43khmFkLeK
968Please respect copyright.PENANAj8ES3R6jBC
Asmodeus shrugged and walked behind her. “Nothing. She has been a vessel from the beginning. Not mine, of course but Belial’s.”968Please respect copyright.PENANA5gJTge9L1T
968Please respect copyright.PENANAGIVB6bg0ZO
The human frowned and fell on his knees. He could feel his wound opening and the blood oozing down his lap.968Please respect copyright.PENANAciV27PSPkd
968Please respect copyright.PENANAY5LXhb60Kx
“It seems he wanted to keep an eye on both sides. There is the Loved One, who wants a rebellion; he wants to rise and conquer the Middle World and then there are the others. The leader is none other than Beelzebub. He likes the way Hell is and doesn’t want to pass the veil. He’s content with what he has and how the world goes around,” He swayed his finger around in the air before he continued, ”Pitiful,” He spat, “They’re weak.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAlqJTZV0jcy
968Please respect copyright.PENANAqDQhe7Pjh1
Ezekiel rolled his eyes, “And why is my life so precious, again? I’m sure, as Zoe’s legacy, I can’t start a rebellion.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAjfGuKcPEAj
968Please respect copyright.PENANAD4nuQHmrlJ
“You are the link between the Middle World and the Afterlife. You haven’t done anything evil for now and your pact has been nullified by her and she used her own sign to clean you up of the Devil, let’s say,” That was definitely not how it felt but Ezekiel let the demon continue, “But you already have a deep and strong connection to Hell. The higher ups don’t want you to leave this beautiful and majestic lifestyle. You either choose me and Lucifer or Beelzebub.”968Please respect copyright.PENANA5LK3QtThQe
968Please respect copyright.PENANAX152m5sOyP
Ezekiel was ready to respond when Asmodeus grabbed a knife from his back pocket and gave it to Alice. In the trance she was in, she placed it dangerously close to her neck, ready to slice off when the prince wanted to.968Please respect copyright.PENANAR4TGy01Zby
968Please respect copyright.PENANARipgxoMlTD
Ezekiel gulped and tried to get out of the circle but instead, he got thrown back, “What are you doing? Let her go! She doesn’t have anything to do with this!”968Please respect copyright.PENANAS4KTSMQNbF
968Please respect copyright.PENANAPxb4T8mAfj
The demon laughed loudly, the house shaking at the sound.968Please respect copyright.PENANAlVlPS1dvA4
968Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ6nek8BLm
“This is the dark side, kid. There’s no free will in here, that’s why I’m giving you a solution. Die now and she will walk out unharmed. Die later and you will probably not see her ever again.”968Please respect copyright.PENANA1XhztSoS7G
968Please respect copyright.PENANAJkCNMSlLmm
Ezekiel’s eyes were locked on Alice’s hand. She was going to slice her neck if Asmodeus wanted that.968Please respect copyright.PENANALHjqW1J9fd
968Please respect copyright.PENANA5SLmyjn8EP
“5 seconds until the impact,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAL0zrYyw46g
968Please respect copyright.PENANAXQd8cY1ApO
Ezekiel didn’t want to die but he didn’t want her to die aimlessly either.968Please respect copyright.PENANA8yYYKFFjNZ
968Please respect copyright.PENANAQgFgTA9dMc
“4 seconds, Ezekiel. Decide now.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAhumK88AbMF
968Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4t5rouX1d
Asmodeus noticed the inner struggle in his eyes. It was pointless; dead or alive, Belial was still going to use Alice’s body if he wanted so.968Please respect copyright.PENANAK9OcYSX4S8
968Please respect copyright.PENANAfjJCLEwwZB
“3, 2, 1.” The lust prince counted quickly.968Please respect copyright.PENANA57Uozr3gL0
968Please respect copyright.PENANARl7fBusPgK
The girl sliced her neck and blood gushed out. The demon kicked her body aside and walked towards the human; he bent in front of him and flicked his forehead. Ezekiel felt his head getting heavier and his pulse getting faster.968Please respect copyright.PENANAU4NcmsqdJp
968Please respect copyright.PENANAac92NfOaGH
“Let's wait for Zoe in silence,” He whispered before the human fainted.968Please respect copyright.PENANAtfNsEVdtkS
“Are we there yet?”968Please respect copyright.PENANA2uQZrFs85g
968Please respect copyright.PENANAaDdNn9dxcp
Eneizar rolled his eyes. She asked that for a few times and the answer was the same.968Please respect copyright.PENANAeBknHZ407m
968Please respect copyright.PENANABOdIvpYafD
“No-oh. Wait. Yes. We’re here.”968Please respect copyright.PENANAgDA7RdpYs7
968Please respect copyright.PENANAyBHLFIIDMf
They only walked for ten minutes. It wasn’t even that far but she was klutz and he had to walk very slowly so she wouldn’t trip over something.968Please respect copyright.PENANAjpNAHrTVMV
968Please respect copyright.PENANAXYLG0fEIvm
Eneizar helped her walk up the stairs and into the Revenge House. The building made a loud noise once she entered it.968Please respect copyright.PENANASNvIia6N81
968Please respect copyright.PENANA5Kvyxk0SOR
Zoe sighed and opened her eyes, the stinging feeling disappearing completely. Eneizar led her into the living room and her eyes noticed immediately the seal; moreover, there was someone in it. She gulped and prayed it wasn’t him.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKVxb7Gt9X8
968Please respect copyright.PENANAWrHw08V2rI
Unfortunately, it was. Zoe ran to Ezekiel but she couldn't enter the seal, “Zek! Ezekiel, wake up! Let’s go home,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAweA94EYVF8
968Please respect copyright.PENANAkyGeaq1sMt
“He’s not going to wake up anytime soon. I took care of that personally,”968Please respect copyright.PENANA47zoFo9VKb
968Please respect copyright.PENANAs49l4ecNxE
She froze at that low and annoying voice but instead of glaring at him, she glared at Eneizar.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhXWDwAQ1TL
968Please respect copyright.PENANAXR2oyGFPJ9
“What’s he doing here?”968Please respect copyright.PENANA52iVafd8O8
968Please respect copyright.PENANA8bfmyOwuMh
Eneizar took a few steps back and let Asmodeus take the lead from there.968Please respect copyright.PENANATWSf5NqisV
968Please respect copyright.PENANAwxEmASTaUO
"Displeasure to meet you, as well. You see, Zoe, Ezekiel here wanted to make a deal with higher demons; for his life,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAGKpjSf3Szs
968Please respect copyright.PENANAurQC2dyXjL
She couldn’t quite believe that, “I’m sure he wouldn’t have come to you.”968Please respect copyright.PENANALBJk9kWIeT
968Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Yrci7CLK
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow. She could see through his vessel so he didn’t need it so he walked out of the body and let it fall on the ground.968Please respect copyright.PENANAXEMDOY3TD7
968Please respect copyright.PENANARHpa0n7zpz
“Your precious Mehrdir told Ezekiel to make a deal with Mammon. We both know why; Mammon’s power is slowly fading away. He doesn’t have strong demons on his side anymore. Ezekiel would make an amazing greed demon since his jealousy on your powers has increased greatly,” Asmodeus begun, pacing in front of her.968Please respect copyright.PENANAxTx6PqB6Fb
968Please respect copyright.PENANADiH3qiMQTc
“He’s not jealous. He’s been next to me for the whole ride and he knows how hard it is,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAMA4Zqu2uZr
968Please respect copyright.PENANAj45aBBWSOz
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and cracked a smile.968Please respect copyright.PENANAZtIYJZn4EU
968Please respect copyright.PENANAqszaWYKU60
“Is he? He made a pact but you took that away from him. He wanted to become one with the dark world from the beginning but you didn’t give him any glimpse until recently. He’s always been jealous, Zoe. You got entangled into the dark world but you’ve trying to keep him out of it, out of the world he wanted to know so badly,” Asmodeus crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned towards Eneizar, “How would you feel if you were in his skin, Eneizar?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAKL8Ro2G27f
968Please respect copyright.PENANAMUCaNcXdsI
“Frustrated.”968Please respect copyright.PENANA9JIo3usFtr
968Please respect copyright.PENANAh6uhBQeIzE
Asmodeus turned to Zoe with a triumphant smirk.968Please respect copyright.PENANA0NRDNrcr4g
968Please respect copyright.PENANAi6EogNTIP7
“See? You don’t know Ezekiel. You don’t know Mehrdir either. You know nothing,”968Please respect copyright.PENANAc7mttk7pZQ
968Please respect copyright.PENANAX56g8zdegv
She gulped and remembered her next door friends; they were demons as well; vessels for demons. They didn’t move coincidentally. Nothing was coincidental.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9BuYip2A
968Please respect copyright.PENANAlE05CcjW7Y
Eneizar watched Zoe very closely. She was hurt and didn’t know what was a lie and what was the true anymore; she was breaking in small pieces right in front of him.968Please respect copyright.PENANA6A3Adqm5uX
968Please respect copyright.PENANAxzHAD9CnW6
His pride cracked a little bit because he’s been there, beside her, ever since she found out she was the commander. Eneizar was there when she met Ezekiel; heck, he nudged her towards him, in the first place; besides, even in Hell, she confronted Lucifer for him. She wanted to see him so badly because he was a source of comfort for her.968Please respect copyright.PENANAnlbtH03o6V

“So then, Zoe. Should I kill you now or should I keep you alive and lock you in Neverland for the time being?”968Please respect copyright.PENANAkdP7cYUPL2
968Please respect copyright.PENANAMREtXt2i18
She blinked, already dying on the inside. Asmodeus' work was done there; he got her to the point where she saw how cruel was Hell and how lonely she was.968Please respect copyright.PENANAeITh47nRQ5
968Please respect copyright.PENANAgyJ6xZYmfM
Asmodeus was ready to keep his word when something stopped him. He looked outside and heard a high pitched sound; the others were coming. The lust prince had to leave but he couldn’t leave Zoe like that so he pushed her inside the seal and glared at Eneizar before he disappeared.968Please respect copyright.PENANASgXNEFhjwj
That night, Zoe didn't even know what was real anymore; she was worried and didn't move from Ezekiel's side. She was still shocked that he would give half of his life in order to gain the evil glint of Hell.968Please respect copyright.PENANAs7eey8BkAn
968Please respect copyright.PENANAYxblXLwdJK
Besides, she never imagined that her neighbours were actually hosts of demon princes. How could she know? That was the reason they moved in the flat next door and that was why Mark was so bright all the time. She was so confused and had no idea whom to trust and who was whom.968Please respect copyright.PENANAsZIU7wgHt3
968Please respect copyright.PENANAXRnpww2T0j
She cried in that little corner of hers, waiting for someone to find them. She didn't expect to get Ezekiel so entangled and Mehrdir was nowhere in sight; her sign was hidden and she had no way to get out of that circle.968Please respect copyright.PENANA08xz2gWCJ6
968Please respect copyright.PENANAVNliKurmhM
"I got myself in this. Freaking demons and their stupid rules,"968Please respect copyright.PENANAmOYAV5EURm
968Please respect copyright.PENANAklHny6XsxV
She sighed and pulled her head between her hands. It was just so complicated and she got in over her head.968Please respect copyright.PENANAkM6iU7YV99
Zoe didn't know when the nightmare begun but she knew she was dreaming.968Please respect copyright.PENANATWP2YHEWjE
She was in a small room and out of reflex, she looked after Ezekiel. He wasn't there, of course but Mehrdir was, staring at her, talking but she couldn't hear a thing.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhoLv6Iemg2
968Please respect copyright.PENANA1f18LkiMPW
“I can’t hear you. I’m not sure I want to, actually,” She trailed, taking a step closer.968Please respect copyright.PENANAqe8PMxOfP3
968Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoGgXS3QM
Zoe reached out but he couldn’t hear her either, he couldn’t even feel her; there was a glass wall between them. She frowned and hit it hard; again and again, she hit in different spots hoping she could find the soft spot and break it.968Please respect copyright.PENANACM5Z2cKG8z
968Please respect copyright.PENANABOHDuYlBJC
The ground shook suddenly and Mehrdir disappeared. She stumbled and fell against the wall, her eyes instantly looking out and noticing that she was being moved. She could see paintings and different chairs, wallpaper and she frowned because they were way too big; that, or the problem was her; she was too small.968Please respect copyright.PENANAzOzH74fBcM
968Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ0Ga6r1k4
Like a caught rat, she could only watch where she was being taken to; hopefully, it wasn't anything weird. Surveying the place, she noticed she has been placed on a table in front of a mirror as she was in a bottle; she was seriously freaking out because she was dressed in a white long dress and she was barefoot.968Please respect copyright.PENANAuaof4Illwv
968Please respect copyright.PENANAbFzR1zjiAn
"Can you hear me?"968Please respect copyright.PENANAhl0Dafubln
968Please respect copyright.PENANAc6PFqu6q3r
Her eyes widened and her head snapped to the side; she could only see a pair of red lips. The person was whispering like she was trying not to disturb Zoe.968Please respect copyright.PENANAUU7xcpK80W
968Please respect copyright.PENANA9SQLlMJXcZ
The commander blinked and looked into the mirror, walking closer to it with a frown.968Please respect copyright.PENANAn4ZLAR7dWE
968Please respect copyright.PENANAa9tzcHBCU9
"Can you hear me?" The voice sounded louder for some reason.968Please respect copyright.PENANAgudVqjU9Ml
968Please respect copyright.PENANArHocilfNej
Zoe looked into the mirror again and the image shifted; she wasn't in the bottle anymore, she was outside of it, dressed in a black Victorian dress, her hair rose in a very stylish bun and her lips were bright red.968Please respect copyright.PENANAXSsK7aOtw3
968Please respect copyright.PENANAQtdWBSbmCV
Bright red lips like the ones whispering.968Please respect copyright.PENANAr6jN31Hyn6
968Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ9UtOCBwn
"Can you hear me?" The voice got louder and louder.968Please respect copyright.PENANApuKvjSvTuq
968Please respect copyright.PENANAVIPEII20OH
The bottle wasn’t there anymore but something was definitely on the table. It looked a lot like-968Please respect copyright.PENANALQmVXPgQnc
968Please respect copyright.PENANA6TLd7luHHQ
"A body," Zoe trailed before she turned around quickly and closed her eyes. She flinched when she heard the voice again and she covered her ears, "Please, leave me alone,"968Please respect copyright.PENANA9uxRHqC3UJ
968Please respect copyright.PENANAaTuAxzbxDW
Suddenly, everything was silent; well, except the music.968Please respect copyright.PENANAsr6uVpYHyz
968Please respect copyright.PENANAhUfCZif5Rq
Zoe opened her eyes when she heard the music. She noticed she wasn't in the white dress anymore and she was wearing shoes. She also saw the gramophone and recognized the song; it was one she had to dance on when her grandparents would come over, or any relative for that matter. Her mother wanted her to be an artist but she didn't have any talent.968Please respect copyright.PENANAX07Pv5AjIc
968Please respect copyright.PENANAMPgeOEQJhJ
Her eyes landed on the table; a body was spread on it, shirtless and had some pentagram drawn on the chest. She frowned and got a weird feeling; she was getting scared fast because she was already anticipating who was there. Zoe gulped and took a shaky step closer. Her eyes widened; it wasn't Ezekiel. Even worse, it was Chen.968Please respect copyright.PENANA4jG1lVeC0x
968Please respect copyright.PENANAbgGXnyn4bc
Zoe couldn't understand why Chen since he had the least connection to demons and her. She ran to his side and checked if he was still alive but while searching for pulse, her eyes landed on the mirror again. Her hands were covered in blood; the same on his chest; besides, it looked a lot like she was trying to get the energy out of him and kill him instead of safely securing him.968Please respect copyright.PENANAOewWey5Dm6
968Please respect copyright.PENANA2UrXjVLZoK
Her wide eyes moved back on his face quickly and she jumped in surprise when she saw that his eyes were open; one was black while the other was white. His face contorted into an angry expression and he grabbed her by the neck, pressing really hard while she couldn't find any will to fight back.968Please respect copyright.PENANAKTsbOAubSW
968Please respect copyright.PENANAVOpvS2VgKb
"Can you hear me?" It was not the moment for loud voices in her head to speak up but that didn't seem to matter, "Can you hear me, Commander?" Her eyes were moving around chaotically, searching for the source of that voice, "You are dead." The tone sounded so venomous.968Please respect copyright.PENANAw80b3Ca7Cl
968Please respect copyright.PENANAPTjbzVWaxN
Zoe closed her eyes tightly and hoped she wasn't going to die.968Please respect copyright.PENANAhfbYOXTRir
968Please respect copyright.PENANAJzHQFvc7RQ
DEAD!968Please respect copyright.PENANAhhjjiQF7Nq
968Please respect copyright.PENANAeKdSN1S9Eh
Zoe woke up with a jolt, her body trembling and that voice still haunting her mind even if she wasn't dreaming anymore.968Please respect copyright.PENANAiDbj7Yjj76
968Please respect copyright.PENANAWb6vo4h1kB
Unfortunately, she was still in the circle next to an unconscious Ezekiel.968Please respect copyright.PENANA1qWvz1QyuG
968Please respect copyright.PENANAyKsXnRfpiC
"Can you hear me?" Zoe whispered and brought her knees close to her chest.968Please respect copyright.PENANAIpjFOa1Suw
968Please respect copyright.PENANALbRbK6YlnX
She closed her eyes and bit her lip, feeling something wet drip down her cheeks. It was so much to take in but what hurt the most was the fact that no matter what, she was still so lonely.968Please respect copyright.PENANAPmqXOdAZyP
968Please respect copyright.PENANAhlvkm8xDyv
"Can you hear me, Mehrdir?" She repeated, her voice broken.968Please respect copyright.PENANAyWfBz8IcpJ
968Please respect copyright.PENANAiHM3q160of
That demon was the only thing she could hold onto and she hoped he wouldn't jump out of her grasp.
