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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAKuW77Z28zN
951Please respect copyright.PENANAafOaSc8ay0
Zoe was in the middle of the crowded street, turning around aimlessly, searching for the source of energy.951Please respect copyright.PENANAaMjYnZFts3
951Please respect copyright.PENANA1MWYYh0Pas
Iaosur appeared behind her, his sign burning up his arm, "What are you doing?" He sneered at his commander.951Please respect copyright.PENANAt9z1LX6dJg
951Please respect copyright.PENANA4fJRIqSayg
Zoe ignored him completely and turned to her right, feeling Eneizar's presence coming closer and closer.951Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ2NYHlOJu
951Please respect copyright.PENANAWxnchTYyjW
“Do you know where he is?” She asked him once he got in sight.951Please respect copyright.PENANAjPlR3iSCzU
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVBU0RsVbLQ
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAzhkP9c67P6
951Please respect copyright.PENANAM9ogrM0raq
Iaosur raised an eyebrow and pushed aside the stinging in his arms, “You look ravishing tonight, don't you?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAgn55Rvr70A
951Please respect copyright.PENANAlb5L7JmKtu
Eneizar shrugged and walked closer.951Please respect copyright.PENANAq7Khe4gzC2
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZyEUYEA8X8
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA79B7dRYErq
951Please respect copyright.PENANA5O9HQjzDJi
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAUvsGk6hdEv
951Please respect copyright.PENANAogfiGo4L5u
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?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAlL7vHqsEaE
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMRQMIFvN9y
“Hiset.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAQXk21GFb6x
951Please respect copyright.PENANAC5LAGs8WUm
Iaosur furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while Zoe completely bought the answer as if it was the right one.951Please respect copyright.PENANAacBYVor09O
951Please respect copyright.PENANAD0LzmjePhJ
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAd0pF8rvq9v
951Please respect copyright.PENANA7hWvBBxt9C
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAHrDPFUVVpQ
951Please respect copyright.PENANApfX1bQHx21
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANACNlpGODjSM
951Please respect copyright.PENANA6kj6FYSrD5
“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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANArPifmPDb3P
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkKzWXx93iA
Iaosur tilted his head to the side and tapped his foot on the ground, feeling like something was very wrong with Eneizar's explanation.951Please respect copyright.PENANAoJNDc9f8GT
951Please respect copyright.PENANAnG9mQC1rty
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?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAh1egazK2ul
951Please respect copyright.PENANASSH5lQFMdb
Eneizar rubbed his chin and thought how to answer without looking suspicious.951Please respect copyright.PENANAEEn6dZzLYk
951Please respect copyright.PENANAQs579iy4qE
“Much like the hunters, Hiset knows about the cursed houses. He probably found one and got Ezekiel in there.”951Please respect copyright.PENANA2rBCVmtUI0
951Please respect copyright.PENANAvtMXAMeXiG
Iaosur tugged on Zoe’s hand, having something to say.951Please respect copyright.PENANAI3BlO1iCd4
951Please respect copyright.PENANAa46jJuCyLl
“We should talk to the uppers, they should feel it. We can even ask the fairy since he’s an informant.”951Please respect copyright.PENANA2GXCjhAugs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAUGKY9uqiI7
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,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAfMtBaacQr5
951Please respect copyright.PENANAl3jcqItrgf
Iaosur frowned, “What? He has Elijah! He can take care of-“951Please respect copyright.PENANAiMNkRebFtJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAciEZxqBIHg
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?951Please respect copyright.PENANAGpDR9UHnay
951Please respect copyright.PENANAHul7XFlIfs
“That is exactly why I want you to keep an eye on him. You made Elijah a low level demon. You take responsibility,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAKWb1aFxooU
951Please respect copyright.PENANAQj9JoYqBVI
Iaosur scoffed and disappeared.951Please respect copyright.PENANAmNYfZEU8DY
951Please respect copyright.PENANAzbmS2aSVqf
Now that Iaosur was gone, Zoe's eyes narrowed at Eneizar and grasped her hand in pain.951Please respect copyright.PENANArt78wv6nQi
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsAR9zYT2Jo
“You know where the house is. Take me to it.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAHwonR0iRuB
951Please respect copyright.PENANATw1SAK1vy8
The demon smirked, “As you wish.”951Please respect copyright.PENANA55Q5TQUZ4t
951Please respect copyright.PENANApXhwPrH1b9
His plan was going smoothly.951Please respect copyright.PENANAO8J3TzAmHP
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAYBaUwRnJAS
951Please respect copyright.PENANApHaolQHuky
“They’re worried,” Eneizar started, grabbing her hand and squeezing it. That was a kind gesture and his kind gestures were suspicious.951Please respect copyright.PENANAkklZO691Q3
951Please respect copyright.PENANActE6vT6nmh
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAPPUwu2M0fR
951Please respect copyright.PENANA2RmGtqmWnl
“What has Ezekiel been doing for the last two days?” She asked, aware that Eneizar's answers may as well be all lies.951Please respect copyright.PENANAuSXweGCRni
951Please respect copyright.PENANACEt0Xopu2B
Eneizar raised an eyebrow and placed his hand back on his lap.951Please respect copyright.PENANAFZb1reVieY
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZ07lwxDJbd
“How should I know? I’m not his babysitter.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAPzvIoOci07
951Please respect copyright.PENANAFWTeCYI04E
She glanced at a certain ghost; the woman was shaking her head dismissively at the demon.951Please respect copyright.PENANAKrnfCY6AOJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAlNRieTDpeT
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAfrxG1wThgk
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZk9OVLVRj1
“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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANA0tMSOgcSoq
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgV9Xj30Jze
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAAuEXG8Aleh
951Please respect copyright.PENANAU0g36Y36CR
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAFKWwCwArAS
951Please respect copyright.PENANAyCaHrKTb6b
“Trust me. I will lead you to the house.” The demon muttered, holding her hand while wrapping one arm around her waist.951Please respect copyright.PENANAK98u1psh2d
951Please respect copyright.PENANAWv32Z7JGQ0
She scoffed, “Trust is a big word for you, Eneizar.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAYoQnghezj9
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ2ZowdwWS
The vanity demon chuckled bemusedly. His plan was going better than he imagined.951Please respect copyright.PENANAzq5v0GeBRC
Ezekiel woke up with a knot in his stomach, literally; his wound wasn’t bleeding anymore but it didn't look well either.951Please respect copyright.PENANA6pW5pt9Lap
951Please respect copyright.PENANAHI3bdUGs22
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAn8JJX0dvVz
951Please respect copyright.PENANATRdaLdgclp
Ezekiel sighed and grabbed a hand through his messy hair, “I should have imagined,”951Please respect copyright.PENANA3mIdoAYLvX
951Please respect copyright.PENANAaPvgFXtIDU
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAoeLocewV8L
951Please respect copyright.PENANAifCdxDaoSL
“So you woke up,”951Please respect copyright.PENANA8wmKsi6Gdg
951Please respect copyright.PENANAosJRhCBReQ
The person who appeared from thin air in front of the fireplace –kind of like Santa in his childhood stories- was none other than-951Please respect copyright.PENANAAB2CX7ckIP
951Please respect copyright.PENANAUQsr9tVhNY
“Asmodeus,”951Please respect copyright.PENANA3669DI4h58
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKvS7tpRy1F
The prince of lust was standing there in all his glory, watching his prey with fiery red eyes.951Please respect copyright.PENANAWwwIPvndQ7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZqG5UHqMwn
“You got me here and this is a trap for Zoe, isn’t it?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAre23Sbc4Lk
951Please respect copyright.PENANAZfXvFWFgzy
The demon shrugged innocently, “Not exactly. You are an interesting human, Zek,”951Please respect copyright.PENANABpa5FPGcn4
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKNn7CTa790
The human cringed when he heard the elder emphasize his name.951Please respect copyright.PENANAny253N7Jsu
951Please respect copyright.PENANAIimQeQFLpq
“You raised from an insignificant something to Zoe’s legacy. You should be proud of yourself,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAzu4jh03e1v
951Please respect copyright.PENANALf8Zrf9Nq6
Ezekiel was proud of himself but not for that reason; he became family for Zoe. That was far greater than some stupid legacy.951Please respect copyright.PENANAepjvEqk2UC
951Please respect copyright.PENANAaVOLBQYjLH
The human scoffed, “What’s your point? I’m sure I have something of great importance if you appeared before me.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAZrfvakzIyz
951Please respect copyright.PENANANnMTLhPxv0
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANApzPtZ7SxeR
951Please respect copyright.PENANAUOFvbdsx9n
Ezekiel frowned and crawled closer to the prince, “How is that a deal? I will get to Hell anyway,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAvsmVjVYq8w
951Please respect copyright.PENANAbahuckbk8H
The demon prince rolled his eyes.951Please respect copyright.PENANAfEjCLbPU5j
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgnOHztVZuj
“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?”951Please respect copyright.PENANADyQ6HOP312
951Please respect copyright.PENANApu8BgBnlRd
That was the beginning of some crazy idea; the human could already sense it.951Please respect copyright.PENANAahwAbNVsbQ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAJX3deA5aYn
“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,”951Please respect copyright.PENANA0QZaB3AcD1
951Please respect copyright.PENANApY7RdqRuOL
Ezekiel rolled his eyes but gave in, “What can you do?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAOP11w40a7p
951Please respect copyright.PENANATxw2FlpWo1
Asmodeus smirked.951Please respect copyright.PENANAwpSmD39Brn
951Please respect copyright.PENANApF2VfQwuPi
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAqfFjdSxo8y
951Please respect copyright.PENANADXvoIpUflC
“I say no.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAs5BpXUfsl9
951Please respect copyright.PENANAGIO7TdYHBZ
Asmodeus narrowed his eyes at the human, making him shiver at the sight of those deadly eyes.951Please respect copyright.PENANAYhrL6BNNGF
951Please respect copyright.PENANA5xyhGpwqUI
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA1Uz2G56Rxz
951Please respect copyright.PENANA5CTAO1uFxN
Asmodeus grabbed Ezekiel’s arm and turned it so he could see Zoe’s sign.951Please respect copyright.PENANAtX8hVhKKhR
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKvmrnc2txf
“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,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAWPvm9QNZpu
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVMGu6bgQIf
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAVmJfPN8MWg
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKCh58GJMoZ
“She has Beelzebub on her side,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Sf9hBhPI
951Please respect copyright.PENANAtNNeguUCS2
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAIQcYJJbn0J
951Please respect copyright.PENANATYMqRpKrMR
“This is the pain you will feel for eternity if you don’t do what I say,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAc0MnVjaPYp
951Please respect copyright.PENANAdAZUwmu7zH
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAlyi6bPD4wU
951Please respect copyright.PENANA0yU4slre18
Ezekiel’s eyes widened, “Alice! What have you done to her?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAIeouOUotm1
951Please respect copyright.PENANA8CnGdPk1f9
Asmodeus shrugged and walked behind her. “Nothing. She has been a vessel from the beginning. Not mine, of course but Belial’s.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAa4MM64qryR
951Please respect copyright.PENANAJlyT2gncon
The human frowned and fell on his knees. He could feel his wound opening and the blood oozing down his lap.951Please respect copyright.PENANATnuc8rHCCd
951Please respect copyright.PENANA03SIbkbcrq
“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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAYP7LyNiKMx
951Please respect copyright.PENANAAktrHYGhJx
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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAtkMu4i4pb2
951Please respect copyright.PENANA9NRGd3mGye
“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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAHzT9kxwcKj
951Please respect copyright.PENANAOGyJhEctrc
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAVCVZOEH46V
951Please respect copyright.PENANA95idYnsvmr
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!”951Please respect copyright.PENANA2bYcMmo4Ol
951Please respect copyright.PENANARhhCFHBEsu
The demon laughed loudly, the house shaking at the sound.951Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ6uIsVp8D
951Please respect copyright.PENANAfhteqDTFdz
“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.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAuseQhwbx4P
951Please respect copyright.PENANAaSlgWZac94
Ezekiel’s eyes were locked on Alice’s hand. She was going to slice her neck if Asmodeus wanted that.951Please respect copyright.PENANA7vbWnVNcQJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAzERcL5zlzV
“5 seconds until the impact,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAfWVHhPKz5a
951Please respect copyright.PENANArxPmUbdWVQ
Ezekiel didn’t want to die but he didn’t want her to die aimlessly either.951Please respect copyright.PENANAysLqh2JgLl
951Please respect copyright.PENANAJNEiazLMFW
“4 seconds, Ezekiel. Decide now.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAqFkkKSaasa
951Please respect copyright.PENANARZE03SXdei
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAmyK0DMqPr9
951Please respect copyright.PENANARhrT1W94sD
“3, 2, 1.” The lust prince counted quickly.951Please respect copyright.PENANAHMHPWrwujJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANA1zNxbi2dsa
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAP9UFFBRIgx
951Please respect copyright.PENANAIZOAHZTnrR
“Let's wait for Zoe in silence,” He whispered before the human fainted.951Please respect copyright.PENANA8cpoVXqMTn
“Are we there yet?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAQnANjHfxZ4
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVTw4uGVyV8
Eneizar rolled his eyes. She asked that for a few times and the answer was the same.951Please respect copyright.PENANAAcSdu2iR14
951Please respect copyright.PENANALWVDXwOG1I
“No-oh. Wait. Yes. We’re here.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAOwIQK56J74
951Please respect copyright.PENANA0SQTXzakW9
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAyCf8UUWijN
951Please respect copyright.PENANAyVeMK8SURi
Eneizar helped her walk up the stairs and into the Revenge House. The building made a loud noise once she entered it.951Please respect copyright.PENANASFEo2cGswZ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsnWUVfTBNv
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAeK7gIbMY2r
951Please respect copyright.PENANAILDhBSTwx3
Unfortunately, it was. Zoe ran to Ezekiel but she couldn't enter the seal, “Zek! Ezekiel, wake up! Let’s go home,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAaWBhgeXWPm
951Please respect copyright.PENANADTwBGMIHMy
“He’s not going to wake up anytime soon. I took care of that personally,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAnp3SeRTpMk
951Please respect copyright.PENANAUmpliEAQkR
She froze at that low and annoying voice but instead of glaring at him, she glared at Eneizar.951Please respect copyright.PENANAeKHIIOAonJ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVgiHT0X16b
“What’s he doing here?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAcIbiuRRnv6
951Please respect copyright.PENANA3cp1rDDrhk
Eneizar took a few steps back and let Asmodeus take the lead from there.951Please respect copyright.PENANA3AYZ8rdFDE
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKW4foaevIv
"Displeasure to meet you, as well. You see, Zoe, Ezekiel here wanted to make a deal with higher demons; for his life,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAst4OqThLw8
951Please respect copyright.PENANAEYYDQopBxO
She couldn’t quite believe that, “I’m sure he wouldn’t have come to you.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAcI0OjxfBqz
951Please respect copyright.PENANArrSoDQuded
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAKqG10SqRqa
951Please respect copyright.PENANAuZsRQJxn2K
“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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAeVxe844n02
951Please respect copyright.PENANAAa86lntca7
“He’s not jealous. He’s been next to me for the whole ride and he knows how hard it is,”951Please respect copyright.PENANAUCEK8BdUv7
951Please respect copyright.PENANA98hryeoRrp
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and cracked a smile.951Please respect copyright.PENANAlnIBNaV0wp
951Please respect copyright.PENANAFicxFQds4J
“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?”951Please respect copyright.PENANAdk8rWSVKN2
951Please respect copyright.PENANAl6kLcQgeBg
“Frustrated.”951Please respect copyright.PENANAdMgcBbMV2j
951Please respect copyright.PENANA6VtEcUBNyu
Asmodeus turned to Zoe with a triumphant smirk.951Please respect copyright.PENANA4xio9mP3qs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAp8IMeXmKor
“See? You don’t know Ezekiel. You don’t know Mehrdir either. You know nothing,”951Please respect copyright.PENANA586VrDYpED
951Please respect copyright.PENANALzx7ua1sTS
She gulped and remembered her next door friends; they were demons as well; vessels for demons. They didn’t move coincidentally. Nothing was coincidental.951Please respect copyright.PENANAQYYUWWptEs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAgSZ2ZExP6d
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA96onLR55Aj
951Please respect copyright.PENANAakXIHldbDe
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAGoJpjgB7Og

“So then, Zoe. Should I kill you now or should I keep you alive and lock you in Neverland for the time being?”951Please respect copyright.PENANANl7MC4wRfq
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMMh2cIXhuS
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAVgriVK4fhX
951Please respect copyright.PENANAPdrnfwROqi
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAjNF8lK7ryl
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAhs2guJI1uP
951Please respect copyright.PENANACeysUZoK76
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAOVWMU4c5do
951Please respect copyright.PENANA6vFKUroAHV
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAGmk5GOfIb6
951Please respect copyright.PENANAU4Zldxzm6d
"I got myself in this. Freaking demons and their stupid rules,"951Please respect copyright.PENANAOU4D61sSkC
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMMcMK2NQq5
She sighed and pulled her head between her hands. It was just so complicated and she got in over her head.951Please respect copyright.PENANANtQGrN90aT
Zoe didn't know when the nightmare begun but she knew she was dreaming.951Please respect copyright.PENANABfRxUK23Tz
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAIihkVmZIcp
951Please respect copyright.PENANAc64GS4Pufk
“I can’t hear you. I’m not sure I want to, actually,” She trailed, taking a step closer.951Please respect copyright.PENANASp3ArmQ2go
951Please respect copyright.PENANAsKUmkOmR4r
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAnoaVcZU34K
951Please respect copyright.PENANAiZ7hnbC3CX
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAJZqeonVJ2u
951Please respect copyright.PENANAzG6xtovJsN
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA0inHse6qpg
951Please respect copyright.PENANAwcU7RDM1Cb
"Can you hear me?"951Please respect copyright.PENANAy9KjyTczhO
951Please respect copyright.PENANAv7kln0pACO
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAup7MoMUfMh
951Please respect copyright.PENANAryr17fUnpt
The commander blinked and looked into the mirror, walking closer to it with a frown.951Please respect copyright.PENANAYYEAYnhH8Y
951Please respect copyright.PENANAHIpOjVpAXR
"Can you hear me?" The voice sounded louder for some reason.951Please respect copyright.PENANAubNJY9gca3
951Please respect copyright.PENANAMGO57PpuVZ
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAZGPLxppSZ7
951Please respect copyright.PENANAKQLgKoNaec
Bright red lips like the ones whispering.951Please respect copyright.PENANAGymb90amjP
951Please respect copyright.PENANAhWBw8hLsB5
"Can you hear me?" The voice got louder and louder.951Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4FO0azTFs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAStibHmfO4m
The bottle wasn’t there anymore but something was definitely on the table. It looked a lot like-951Please respect copyright.PENANABQ4Kl5MzOZ
951Please respect copyright.PENANAyf4dkXpCzw
"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,"951Please respect copyright.PENANA1HVZ80vAy6
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkMUzkUuDUd
Suddenly, everything was silent; well, except the music.951Please respect copyright.PENANAbyQBmzfFVs
951Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHU6x3YPW
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAaGkICj5mbx
951Please respect copyright.PENANA7u0R5MV5Ap
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAXMB6BsvqeX
951Please respect copyright.PENANACNBTM9qfKL
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA6b2Yy1BVD3
951Please respect copyright.PENANAqZBTvC9Wjd
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkgqxtwSM
951Please respect copyright.PENANAVVKBnzZvJq
"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.951Please respect copyright.PENANAiuJcVmf7WV
951Please respect copyright.PENANAu5a7P5C57z
Zoe closed her eyes tightly and hoped she wasn't going to die.951Please respect copyright.PENANAlunxDS0dmN
951Please respect copyright.PENANA1L7OEY8x3I
DEAD!951Please respect copyright.PENANA9yazvjXs2N
951Please respect copyright.PENANAkv7AIiaUrA
Zoe woke up with a jolt, her body trembling and that voice still haunting her mind even if she wasn't dreaming anymore.951Please respect copyright.PENANApxNywWiuuf
951Please respect copyright.PENANAmwt9QgwNUq
Unfortunately, she was still in the circle next to an unconscious Ezekiel.951Please respect copyright.PENANAMDK4rAToH2
951Please respect copyright.PENANA2xY4NjRLJ7
"Can you hear me?" Zoe whispered and brought her knees close to her chest.951Please respect copyright.PENANAAu5p98SW3w
951Please respect copyright.PENANA2dJFUUaWh8
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.951Please respect copyright.PENANA2nin2FTLiE
951Please respect copyright.PENANAq1ZOb1Fpkl
"Can you hear me, Mehrdir?" She repeated, her voice broken.951Please respect copyright.PENANACTq1Vkrhrg
951Please respect copyright.PENANAjSvsmRIHsX
That demon was the only thing she could hold onto and she hoped he wouldn't jump out of her grasp.
