'As my feelings grow at an alarming rate each passing time, my fear of losing you grows exponentially. In fact, losing you is the one fear that's slowly eating away my conscience"

"Ready, here I go." Victoria started off and shifted to her Inferno mode and shape-shifted to a monstrous looking creature. As monstrous as it looked, her looks were not demeaned in any form or format. In fact, her red hair glowed and it looked as if her head of voluminous hair was on fire, her gorgeous body was the same, but what hid her modesty was scales like armor all around her. And she had a small horns coming out of her gorgeous forehead.
Mia was stupefied. How on earth or hell can a she-demon look this good? "What the heck, you are even more gorgeous!", Mia screamed in delight. "OH MY WORD Victoria! I could totally date you!", Mia continued gushing about her as she went around Victoria and observed her from top to bottom.
Victoria was shocked and she looked at the other demons as well. Their jaws were hanging out. 'Did Mia just say that she would date a female demon?'. Dante was so going to kill her for sure.
"Wait! You're not scared, Mia?", Victoria asked.
"Why should I be? Are all Demons really this good-looking in their inferno mode?", Mia asked. "Can I touch your horn please?"
Victoria was tongue-tied. "Can I please?", Mia asked again.
"Um, sure. Why not?", Victoria finally answered after awhile.
"Wow this is so amazing!", Mia was so excited. "Who's next? Can I please see your Inferno mode, Zelus?", Mia asked.
One by one, they turned on their 'Inferno Mode' and Mia got even more excited and amazed as each one showed their true form.
As they looked at Mia taking it all in, they were surprised that this mortal was not afraid at all. In fact, as they kept on looking at her and a warm feeling came onto each one of them. They could now understand why their Master, the King of Hell was willing to sacrifice so much for her, just to have her by his side.
They had heard of some humans. Really rare though, that was truly genuine, not scared and accepting of the true form of demons. But in all the centuries, they had never come across any but had heard of a rare few.
There was this story of a mere mortal who lived eons of centuries ago. She came across a Demon who was gravely hurt and instead of being repulsed, she nursed the demon to health. When the villagers knew of the demon's true form; they came with a pitchfork to kill the Demon. The poor mortal was caught in the crossfire and died as of a result of it. The Demon enraged, destroyed the village and each and every person in the village. Once, the demon calmed down, it soon realized what it had done. That night, the Demon started to weep. By morning, the village that once stood there; was no more as the Demon's tears flooded the area turning it into a deep lake. Driven by guilt, as it was that very mortal who ever shown some kindness to him yet it killed all her people, the demon too turned into its own tears, and dispersed. The deep lake now stood in the midst of a thick forest and it laid undisturbed for centuries; reminding Demons the love-hate relationship it had with the mortals.
When the 12 demons looked at Mia, it reminded them greatly of some rare gem of mortals.
As Mia's face scrunched up in curiosity and excitement; she carefully observed all these Demon's Inferno mode. Her face lite up and she beamed happily to them, "O MY GAWD!", Mia squealed in delight. The 12 demons there studied the pretty girl in awe. As she was observing them, her face was sincere and innocent and the demons could tell, her feelings were genuine and they too could feel the warm fuzzy feeling the girl was brought out in them. She was really cute with her expressions and they noticed a white soft light emitting through her body.
As they looked on and let Mia do whatever it pleased with them, Victoria felt a gutted feeling overcome her. Just as she was about to investigate the occurrence, she saw Zelus and Lanser's expressions turn grave and sour. The area around them turned suffocating and before they could respond back to form, the grave air thundered through with a voice stern and serious.
"What do you think you're doing?", Dante asked with all seriousness.
The 12 demons froze.
"Oh shit!", Victoria cursed under her breath.
