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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAnPZwWVA5IU
982Please respect copyright.PENANAWVgreQyTgz
Zoe was in the middle of the crowded street, turning around aimlessly, searching for the source of energy.982Please respect copyright.PENANAkLZg3p2Ztz
982Please respect copyright.PENANAD7nLCHARIG
Iaosur appeared behind her, his sign burning up his arm, "What are you doing?" He sneered at his commander.982Please respect copyright.PENANALECWU0doDY
982Please respect copyright.PENANAVv7cazzKzg
Zoe ignored him completely and turned to her right, feeling Eneizar's presence coming closer and closer.982Please respect copyright.PENANAAOoqTflxCY
982Please respect copyright.PENANA3FSyn0Qv5E
“Do you know where he is?” She asked him once he got in sight.982Please respect copyright.PENANAVoQ71445rm
982Please respect copyright.PENANA6eXLEJj6Qk
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAlKd7pxoFHL
982Please respect copyright.PENANAheYyb85NbP
Iaosur raised an eyebrow and pushed aside the stinging in his arms, “You look ravishing tonight, don't you?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAcD56twOb5R
982Please respect copyright.PENANAsVj5smFpun
Eneizar shrugged and walked closer.982Please respect copyright.PENANAcIuVeceTfh
982Please respect copyright.PENANAZQg1JkIMLP
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAp8piJP1qgp
982Please respect copyright.PENANAu0BUyoYWGl
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA9jLKlqGiGs
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQbtxlXa8CP
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?”982Please respect copyright.PENANARtXNXvPPnB
982Please respect copyright.PENANAqudOwSRHlV
“Hiset.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAtyatT8rqkm
982Please respect copyright.PENANAqZcQE9AqTS
Iaosur furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while Zoe completely bought the answer as if it was the right one.982Please respect copyright.PENANASS0mf5nnl5
982Please respect copyright.PENANA5hjSkgXN7S
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAgemGIyDNRI
982Please respect copyright.PENANAXuunysMUtY
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAPGV7e54uTM
982Please respect copyright.PENANAld9i9Y1xoJ
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAuoHBICImFD
982Please respect copyright.PENANAHxtoidmpMC
“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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANA5o3IUtpmtq
982Please respect copyright.PENANAqa97a3pWM7
Iaosur tilted his head to the side and tapped his foot on the ground, feeling like something was very wrong with Eneizar's explanation.982Please respect copyright.PENANAkJkVJBOq7H
982Please respect copyright.PENANAckvI74MLMl
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?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAYmxoTcGHaC
982Please respect copyright.PENANAjNBpchuDTp
Eneizar rubbed his chin and thought how to answer without looking suspicious.982Please respect copyright.PENANAfRtFdCFYq6
982Please respect copyright.PENANAfDJU3iGSxH
“Much like the hunters, Hiset knows about the cursed houses. He probably found one and got Ezekiel in there.”982Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZIyVZCqK1
982Please respect copyright.PENANAIKhrc0jenN
Iaosur tugged on Zoe’s hand, having something to say.982Please respect copyright.PENANA7hgUE6jQbG
982Please respect copyright.PENANAllgSv5554k
“We should talk to the uppers, they should feel it. We can even ask the fairy since he’s an informant.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAO2LG3mjZ5j
982Please respect copyright.PENANAIu5gsi5hn1
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,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAkXWveoLOaL
982Please respect copyright.PENANA6eN7wr6Rc0
Iaosur frowned, “What? He has Elijah! He can take care of-“982Please respect copyright.PENANAaFy2ODCMFu
982Please respect copyright.PENANAYxrZMMVV1i
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?982Please respect copyright.PENANAK2uXKQbLSL
982Please respect copyright.PENANAUoAQc3x99x
“That is exactly why I want you to keep an eye on him. You made Elijah a low level demon. You take responsibility,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAqEGMMqAgHM
982Please respect copyright.PENANAJx6neV7X0t
Iaosur scoffed and disappeared.982Please respect copyright.PENANAyMOfvMVr75
982Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Bx9JoSpB
Now that Iaosur was gone, Zoe's eyes narrowed at Eneizar and grasped her hand in pain.982Please respect copyright.PENANATkUE10AZhD
982Please respect copyright.PENANAVoXuOYYjcB
“You know where the house is. Take me to it.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAN8h5PLNHbs
982Please respect copyright.PENANACnL5qoddTB
The demon smirked, “As you wish.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAqAYkEcyWdw
982Please respect copyright.PENANARW6Xr7czTH
His plan was going smoothly.982Please respect copyright.PENANAzsh5eTTFlR
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA4jKYZTcO4E
982Please respect copyright.PENANAh36ASBlERc
“They’re worried,” Eneizar started, grabbing her hand and squeezing it. That was a kind gesture and his kind gestures were suspicious.982Please respect copyright.PENANAYYs5X9JI6U
982Please respect copyright.PENANAivQTiCVpE0
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAiLLd9Enslj
982Please respect copyright.PENANAHNy8ZpU9El
“What has Ezekiel been doing for the last two days?” She asked, aware that Eneizar's answers may as well be all lies.982Please respect copyright.PENANAHZAtSd2krd
982Please respect copyright.PENANAXA3PFzhl7u
Eneizar raised an eyebrow and placed his hand back on his lap.982Please respect copyright.PENANAYkPpI6S1U9
982Please respect copyright.PENANAhzaIg6aemn
“How should I know? I’m not his babysitter.”982Please respect copyright.PENANA21W42zOEC2
982Please respect copyright.PENANA58tqydxQxc
She glanced at a certain ghost; the woman was shaking her head dismissively at the demon.982Please respect copyright.PENANAeWCTAvcOmo
982Please respect copyright.PENANAd8pS4ZlEyx
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANACyEwcWVLh0
982Please respect copyright.PENANA5s7uNWlcBQ
“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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAo0YjPtlwvR
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQj9X0WSHZq
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAEdAtHlWkg7
982Please respect copyright.PENANA6naxxfG0m4
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAQyYqfYQ9zO
982Please respect copyright.PENANAxb314Pi2XD
“Trust me. I will lead you to the house.” The demon muttered, holding her hand while wrapping one arm around her waist.982Please respect copyright.PENANASlkUoDUdeu
982Please respect copyright.PENANAh3c7en1OmN
She scoffed, “Trust is a big word for you, Eneizar.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAKV0SvCBXiz
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQTFsuIV3r0
The vanity demon chuckled bemusedly. His plan was going better than he imagined.982Please respect copyright.PENANAmLCllrN5xL
Ezekiel woke up with a knot in his stomach, literally; his wound wasn’t bleeding anymore but it didn't look well either.982Please respect copyright.PENANAYV6lOsijGf
982Please respect copyright.PENANAuxxfNJ7h1W
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAwkbuTsMpG3
982Please respect copyright.PENANA1o0MAVN81Y
Ezekiel sighed and grabbed a hand through his messy hair, “I should have imagined,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAPVhjM34PfB
982Please respect copyright.PENANAuLUIJ1APkX
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA1EuJffh2zO
982Please respect copyright.PENANAXINPWKzwXG
“So you woke up,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAtCDpC5qBdm
982Please respect copyright.PENANARayf4w1nRp
The person who appeared from thin air in front of the fireplace –kind of like Santa in his childhood stories- was none other than-982Please respect copyright.PENANAs0vNcBi5CV
982Please respect copyright.PENANAlqduFM2GEo
“Asmodeus,”982Please respect copyright.PENANADQKLdTtnYz
982Please respect copyright.PENANAOInE4svPhq
The prince of lust was standing there in all his glory, watching his prey with fiery red eyes.982Please respect copyright.PENANAlFSTckELUD
982Please respect copyright.PENANA1pmrqkz7aG
“You got me here and this is a trap for Zoe, isn’t it?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAeKhbBVrgdc
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQby8xsoF5w
The demon shrugged innocently, “Not exactly. You are an interesting human, Zek,”982Please respect copyright.PENANARsT5WuhZdY
982Please respect copyright.PENANAmujlj9jkq5
The human cringed when he heard the elder emphasize his name.982Please respect copyright.PENANAG9v9VGUEs4
982Please respect copyright.PENANAg8fNguuAJY
“You raised from an insignificant something to Zoe’s legacy. You should be proud of yourself,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAAXJnRJOQNB
982Please respect copyright.PENANAHpLFiASg6u
Ezekiel was proud of himself but not for that reason; he became family for Zoe. That was far greater than some stupid legacy.982Please respect copyright.PENANAIl6ujiCNUW
982Please respect copyright.PENANASfz3gbNHFP
The human scoffed, “What’s your point? I’m sure I have something of great importance if you appeared before me.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAOw7m8Futew
982Please respect copyright.PENANAImJEQ0K1rF
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAYUevin3Yyo
982Please respect copyright.PENANAUjYlYkbVd7
Ezekiel frowned and crawled closer to the prince, “How is that a deal? I will get to Hell anyway,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAqvlDnNpokp
982Please respect copyright.PENANAvDrj5VuOjC
The demon prince rolled his eyes.982Please respect copyright.PENANAX7xphwzciB
982Please respect copyright.PENANAaoMAukPR1j
“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?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAIxajv3VTLz
982Please respect copyright.PENANA97X0sGdCPz
That was the beginning of some crazy idea; the human could already sense it.982Please respect copyright.PENANAyLW8TTYiBc
982Please respect copyright.PENANAfVeSOBqwq6
“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,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAylMSc1nSMY
982Please respect copyright.PENANABFyfaWyEOo
Ezekiel rolled his eyes but gave in, “What can you do?”982Please respect copyright.PENANArjQpiqfR46
982Please respect copyright.PENANAouPY2Sm75v
Asmodeus smirked.982Please respect copyright.PENANAxKEluZl5JL
982Please respect copyright.PENANAeJXj8L111s
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAY9w5r7BFJH
982Please respect copyright.PENANAmT8iMVvq4I
“I say no.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAUt9NpGgS6H
982Please respect copyright.PENANAuWq1OrCSdQ
Asmodeus narrowed his eyes at the human, making him shiver at the sight of those deadly eyes.982Please respect copyright.PENANA2LgDfOADO3
982Please respect copyright.PENANAtII0USEwC8
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAK7BDyxKgK9
982Please respect copyright.PENANAlYce36aMF0
Asmodeus grabbed Ezekiel’s arm and turned it so he could see Zoe’s sign.982Please respect copyright.PENANAT7QGW0JSuq
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQSQWW1GjE1
“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,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAnprl6mRU7Y
982Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Mxosg8Uk
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAgAtNkeGAzN
982Please respect copyright.PENANAUYRiBfSeM4
“She has Beelzebub on her side,”982Please respect copyright.PENANARUDkFINIwx
982Please respect copyright.PENANAB3Fx4C5Jyg
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAHuEbz1F5no
982Please respect copyright.PENANApfJ0pFHWjz
“This is the pain you will feel for eternity if you don’t do what I say,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAC2TtBIQJVy
982Please respect copyright.PENANA8D3rQBQc0D
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA03FSm3SPSK
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQrSGoJXz6E
Ezekiel’s eyes widened, “Alice! What have you done to her?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAXsoBSiplY1
982Please respect copyright.PENANAP9W9V0OjJ8
Asmodeus shrugged and walked behind her. “Nothing. She has been a vessel from the beginning. Not mine, of course but Belial’s.”982Please respect copyright.PENANA8EvkCTIeXB
982Please respect copyright.PENANALKTgC90g27
The human frowned and fell on his knees. He could feel his wound opening and the blood oozing down his lap.982Please respect copyright.PENANAM2UTSgrPtk
982Please respect copyright.PENANALuT4tNf4s6
“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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAfWk2dpqLUK
982Please respect copyright.PENANAj5C6D0Ic2g
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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAJSZljfbInV
982Please respect copyright.PENANAeUWf6OSpG5
“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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAMQmx3uKf59
982Please respect copyright.PENANA0whowaIw0c
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAGlITvvYEPP
982Please respect copyright.PENANAjN5wxQmlGf
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!”982Please respect copyright.PENANA0m8bK5Ryfr
982Please respect copyright.PENANAUD9xUHqJSr
The demon laughed loudly, the house shaking at the sound.982Please respect copyright.PENANA6nbEBXq6nF
982Please respect copyright.PENANAOx1Ybbuzom
“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.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAwsx1sUV5vW
982Please respect copyright.PENANADKVO5MGsaM
Ezekiel’s eyes were locked on Alice’s hand. She was going to slice her neck if Asmodeus wanted that.982Please respect copyright.PENANADJzvbZupNE
982Please respect copyright.PENANAwizVytylYb
“5 seconds until the impact,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAGRDh1ISe0D
982Please respect copyright.PENANATVia8LQKRR
Ezekiel didn’t want to die but he didn’t want her to die aimlessly either.982Please respect copyright.PENANATE3bsG0UMl
982Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0hTwqCm0
“4 seconds, Ezekiel. Decide now.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAUDwRVfJ983
982Please respect copyright.PENANAHnpZXt3eJB
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAHDq3TGiLWk
982Please respect copyright.PENANATAfxMIXLRR
“3, 2, 1.” The lust prince counted quickly.982Please respect copyright.PENANANgbbP3geaS
982Please respect copyright.PENANAk8bpUtu538
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAmNvbqjjO9w
982Please respect copyright.PENANAsJOYx6JREb
“Let's wait for Zoe in silence,” He whispered before the human fainted.982Please respect copyright.PENANAKYYT6OKArP
“Are we there yet?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAYcSy7CPBcZ
982Please respect copyright.PENANABWat5lLZoE
Eneizar rolled his eyes. She asked that for a few times and the answer was the same.982Please respect copyright.PENANA8ch3TFlbGt
982Please respect copyright.PENANATXoL6dkBAt
“No-oh. Wait. Yes. We’re here.”982Please respect copyright.PENANARKpsrX30oA
982Please respect copyright.PENANAWENtKzouQ6
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAGVKMH6267d
982Please respect copyright.PENANAdjgjsaPuuo
Eneizar helped her walk up the stairs and into the Revenge House. The building made a loud noise once she entered it.982Please respect copyright.PENANABu8PHZDOFY
982Please respect copyright.PENANAAGkrDacsik
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANALipGjqgbRc
982Please respect copyright.PENANAiXqDD9XZJd
Unfortunately, it was. Zoe ran to Ezekiel but she couldn't enter the seal, “Zek! Ezekiel, wake up! Let’s go home,”982Please respect copyright.PENANARxDv815wBX
982Please respect copyright.PENANAp0V9kfhACJ
“He’s not going to wake up anytime soon. I took care of that personally,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAJFR0xLRuuZ
982Please respect copyright.PENANAz4F45l0Q2l
She froze at that low and annoying voice but instead of glaring at him, she glared at Eneizar.982Please respect copyright.PENANA3IJBTZnkas
982Please respect copyright.PENANAuELLxTVICH
“What’s he doing here?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAt5qteqUyMD
982Please respect copyright.PENANAE8RI95ElM8
Eneizar took a few steps back and let Asmodeus take the lead from there.982Please respect copyright.PENANADRb6a69U5C
982Please respect copyright.PENANAlEo1QUNrQ1
"Displeasure to meet you, as well. You see, Zoe, Ezekiel here wanted to make a deal with higher demons; for his life,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ9DEPBpwX
982Please respect copyright.PENANAnygprxpmpF
She couldn’t quite believe that, “I’m sure he wouldn’t have come to you.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAlbg39NrQdg
982Please respect copyright.PENANAbrBbUlc3Yw
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANABaQtb9YsHC
982Please respect copyright.PENANAZVAoKl54V8
“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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAjOgShGXKEz
982Please respect copyright.PENANA7afoAJwR3c
“He’s not jealous. He’s been next to me for the whole ride and he knows how hard it is,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAgDdiUBGGpg
982Please respect copyright.PENANAosWhhzDEAZ
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and cracked a smile.982Please respect copyright.PENANAlbe4agEcid
982Please respect copyright.PENANALYwxbLNLFL
“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?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAs1yM6l9sZA
982Please respect copyright.PENANARqqQC3qIAZ
“Frustrated.”982Please respect copyright.PENANAZNuOKJsUgt
982Please respect copyright.PENANAqBorvIHZRm
Asmodeus turned to Zoe with a triumphant smirk.982Please respect copyright.PENANA6uR6kP0V8f
982Please respect copyright.PENANANpPt9uQuKj
“See? You don’t know Ezekiel. You don’t know Mehrdir either. You know nothing,”982Please respect copyright.PENANAtVpmzirJIh
982Please respect copyright.PENANAuhRgEogTKq
She gulped and remembered her next door friends; they were demons as well; vessels for demons. They didn’t move coincidentally. Nothing was coincidental.982Please respect copyright.PENANA9XnADORFxz
982Please respect copyright.PENANAhdU6zIhYWa
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA58qJUAAR6P
982Please respect copyright.PENANALU4fFlCyQw
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAFd1xTHu0DD

“So then, Zoe. Should I kill you now or should I keep you alive and lock you in Neverland for the time being?”982Please respect copyright.PENANAWuWaV7CP5B
982Please respect copyright.PENANAG8JesN0FAF
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAoCsm3Q0S4q
982Please respect copyright.PENANAsGsHXLzewU
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAAadsPzS819
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAWFM2xoEpeB
982Please respect copyright.PENANA5qjQniMLMp
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAwkhIAZ1bY4
982Please respect copyright.PENANAkomh4rJLxP
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAbmwIman6BM
982Please respect copyright.PENANAj09rOqUUsa
"I got myself in this. Freaking demons and their stupid rules,"982Please respect copyright.PENANAnh996h3Tgy
982Please respect copyright.PENANA72sauoWWQC
She sighed and pulled her head between her hands. It was just so complicated and she got in over her head.982Please respect copyright.PENANAKCGtMy5MFk
Zoe didn't know when the nightmare begun but she knew she was dreaming.982Please respect copyright.PENANA4u4qh7wkZc
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAgDm2VXRAjg
982Please respect copyright.PENANAsUTLfAdOtP
“I can’t hear you. I’m not sure I want to, actually,” She trailed, taking a step closer.982Please respect copyright.PENANAjL4UKrKWPm
982Please respect copyright.PENANAlzwZeIASyb
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA0PCZff6cvc
982Please respect copyright.PENANAs3etevhPa0
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAhFhzDsQhrt
982Please respect copyright.PENANAnJoN0UHS1S
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAKW2uzlpxU8
982Please respect copyright.PENANAPqSOfOBQfC
"Can you hear me?"982Please respect copyright.PENANAJIZQMVJxyx
982Please respect copyright.PENANADutK6jCrAX
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fv06IIAV6
982Please respect copyright.PENANAIRYDLCZeXc
The commander blinked and looked into the mirror, walking closer to it with a frown.982Please respect copyright.PENANAJZgB3SS7dy
982Please respect copyright.PENANAN2cU8ya9WU
"Can you hear me?" The voice sounded louder for some reason.982Please respect copyright.PENANArR3g0A9274
982Please respect copyright.PENANAS2HOMAAboe
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA2ppaauXv3I
982Please respect copyright.PENANAhweJusSbCW
Bright red lips like the ones whispering.982Please respect copyright.PENANA1NcxxnoaW4
982Please respect copyright.PENANAkAla7x5AqX
"Can you hear me?" The voice got louder and louder.982Please respect copyright.PENANA0qigJ3ySZ6
982Please respect copyright.PENANAiO3v9Xes0j
The bottle wasn’t there anymore but something was definitely on the table. It looked a lot like-982Please respect copyright.PENANA37XuGI8tQ7
982Please respect copyright.PENANAhjtz87YIsN
"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,"982Please respect copyright.PENANAfoVBuHzozp
982Please respect copyright.PENANAM4yzUHjmMU
Suddenly, everything was silent; well, except the music.982Please respect copyright.PENANAgLjs5RLaPN
982Please respect copyright.PENANAAAtGkqFz01
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAq6HBEyojE0
982Please respect copyright.PENANA10cDZQRtOn
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANALgjDx99XFe
982Please respect copyright.PENANAzg7KYjzUPa
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANA7Thu70LZeI
982Please respect copyright.PENANAyuMeB8DBsK
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANArekZpVgBgO
982Please respect copyright.PENANAdw1xKQiXFq
"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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAJjPWmeHkfS
982Please respect copyright.PENANAz1XMziNIHJ
Zoe closed her eyes tightly and hoped she wasn't going to die.982Please respect copyright.PENANAq1rReeDbJX
982Please respect copyright.PENANAzzGIXc4MPj
DEAD!982Please respect copyright.PENANAU8PDJZ4PFE
982Please respect copyright.PENANASnQTUAOFP7
Zoe woke up with a jolt, her body trembling and that voice still haunting her mind even if she wasn't dreaming anymore.982Please respect copyright.PENANAmSIUTCCsqR
982Please respect copyright.PENANA14QBumrYhb
Unfortunately, she was still in the circle next to an unconscious Ezekiel.982Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0zOeaw6EK
982Please respect copyright.PENANAv2aWMv3rl6
"Can you hear me?" Zoe whispered and brought her knees close to her chest.982Please respect copyright.PENANAhXPUCEYTp4
982Please respect copyright.PENANAXPkWC7jKmI
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.982Please respect copyright.PENANAMuuG38pkLe
982Please respect copyright.PENANAQy8g3EUxQA
"Can you hear me, Mehrdir?" She repeated, her voice broken.982Please respect copyright.PENANAbjoQlGwFhQ
982Please respect copyright.PENANAq8f6YG7mR0
That demon was the only thing she could hold onto and she hoped he wouldn't jump out of her grasp.
