Chereads / Vice For The Underworld / Chapter 12 - Chapter Eleven [ Conflicted Interest ]

Chapter 12 - Chapter Eleven [ Conflicted Interest ]

Everyone was eagerly awaiting his return , the whole room shone with anticipation .

" Ouuu how big do you think our little demon will be ?" Kayna asked excitement dripping from her , it oozed from her entire body like a perfume enveloping her surroundings . Lucifer laughed at her contagious , jolly behavior .

" Alright Kay , let's finish up with the food and such so we can be prepared ." Alek inputted as he passes by and dropped a kiss on her cheek .

" You both suck and I mean that literally ." Lucifer grumbled as he eyed the couple .

" We can't actually deny that . " Kayna shrugged .

" Lucifer ! " A voice called , the person tone dripped with exhaustion.

Lucifer looked toward the sound of his name and smirked sneakily , as he eyed the exasperation on his brother face .

" Ah yes , Brother I almost forgot you . " Lucifer said as though he were surprised by his ghastly conduct . The King of the Seas rolled his eyes at his tyrannical Brother's behaviour , paying it no mind .

" Brother we need to speak , it is quite urgent , we need to speak before . . . " He was too late the sound of a new voice called through the room before he could finish .

" Lucifer , can we speak ! " Though it was supposed to be a question , nothing of her demeanor gave off the vibe . Lucifer smiled a wicked smile , there certainly was only one person who could demand that even the King of hell himself kneel before her .

" Tyki - uh why are you here ? " Alek was the one to step forward , as he eyed his sister .

" I need to speak with Lucifer. " Tyki stated as she walked through the purple flame , from talisman given to her from the King himself , so she could return at any time . No one expected to see her at all , they didn't think she would return to the Underworld .

" Brother we NEED to speak , before anyone else , this problem I have is urgent and I really do need your help . Please Lucifer." Poseidon asked earnestly .

Lucifer eyed the God of the Seas , water and rivers and everything associated . He appeared not too long ago , asking to see the God of the Underworld privately. Everyone was in the whirlwind of preparing for the return of Dylan . Today would be the day of his return from the depths of tartarus' tortures .

" Alright Brother come with me . " Lucifer said motioning for him to follow him through a portal . Something didn't sit right with him , Poseidon wouldn't normally behave to angsty, he was usually quite stoic and impassive . Whatever was happening , it was something the Sea God could not handle on his own , especially since he'd come to him , they normally limited their time spent together so Zeus would not know about it . Lucifer teleported the two into his personal home office , the space was littered with half finished and finished paintings , along with used brushes and such . An unfinished painting stood on an easel in the center of the room.

Poseidon eyed his brother carefully and sighed .

" Looks like you're in the middle of a project brother . " He commented on his painting , whilst nodding to him secretly . Lucifer understood right away and with the wave of a hand he disconnected the space they were in, from the time the had currently been in .

" Luci you need to get away from here as fast as you can . I can deal with everything else but Zeus for some reason needs you dead as soon as possible . Something about you being the biggest threat to him . " Poseidon said quickly as though he needed to tell the God of the Underworld, his information before a great disaster occurred. Lucifer remained calm and held a shoulder and squeezed lightly . Poseidon looked into his eyes and sighed .

" You already knew and you have a plan don't you . " He stated .

" No I don't have a plan , but I already knew yes . " Lucifer shrugged .

" Well there is one more thing you must know , he has Nikolai , he is on Mount Olympus, with another demigod . " Poseidon informed.

" No doubt he knows you're here right now . " Lucifer also stated eyeing his brother.

" I can't be so unsure about that , it is Zeus . I'll need you to rough me up a bit . " Poseidon grinned and flinched in anticipation.

The God of the Seas couldn't say much more before he felt his brother's fist collide with his face . He punched back and they began to trade blows .

BACK AT THE MANSION

" Why are you even here again ? " Kayna questioned the sitting figure with distaste.

" Kay please rela - "

" Don't you even dare ! " Kayna glared at Alek .

" Wow she has got you wrapped up tight. " Tyki said mockingly, " Plus I don't need to answer to anyone , least of all you . " She directed this statement to the Ghost standing near here .

" Listen to me very well . " Kayna seethed angrily , " You are NOT welcomed here after what you said last time . You may be the sister of the man I love , and the girl my best friend is in love with . However, I do not need to like you or even trust you , so keep your mouth closed and wait here quietly . "

" I can't seem to recall needing your permission to be here. " Tyki said , a hand on her chin as she pretended to think .

" Whatever you came here for , I couldn't care about in the least but If you do anything at all to harm Lucifer and Alek , if you step out of line in the slightest . I will cut you apart piece by piece . " Kayna warned .

" I'm not afraid of a ghost . "

" You shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, you should be afraid of me . This ghost will be the one to kill you very slowly and painfully ,if you hurt anyone I hold dear to me . "

" Now I can't believe me eyes , is this what we do now threaten people without me ? " A young male voice said as the body stepped out from the shadows.

" Dylan ! " Kayna called with excitement, her mood completely shifting as she spotted the very grown , ginger haired boy .

" Oh my gosh how long have you been down there. Up here it was about a month . " Kayna said as she touched the matured face of the little boy she helped save . He wasn't the same little kid they had saved in that old shed . He looked at least twenty years old now , his ginger curls were darker and framed his face , his eyes even got a lighter green with gold specs.

" Yes well it's good to be home , down there was truly hell , it's been years for me . I'm twenty one now if I recall correctly. " Dylan said rolling his shoulder blades . He smiled at her and pulled her into a hug .

" How have you been Alek ? " Dylan asked directing his attention to the Doctor .

" I can see you searching around . You'll see him just now , the sea God came by. Something is about to happen something very big . " Kayna whispered to him as she patted his back and hugged him .

" I'm fine , things have just been a little tense this morning . " Alek responded. Dylan nodded at his response offering him a small smile , he bent his head and whispered back to Kayna .

" Yes I know , there is a sense of dishonesty in the air and confusion . "

" Mmhmmm let's talk later . " She said , patting him and smiling as she moved away .

Tyki watched silently as everyone greeted Dylan and welcomed him home. This was truly all magic and supernatural things happening. Dylan was nothing like the little child she knew, she should have been prepared for the change since she was warned , but she couldn't have even begin to think he would change this much . The weight of what she agreed upon weighed heavily on her chest as she sat there watching everyone interact . Alek appeared beside her calmly and sat , sipping from his glass mug .

" Sister why are you here again. After your outburst I thought I lost you as well . " Alek calmly confessed.

" Would that have been ok , would you have just left it at that." Tyki found herself asking passive aggressively.

" What else could I have done . You blame Lucifer for what has happened but it wasn't his fault , I asked him to do this . Father had no one but himself to blame for his misfortune, mother as well . Will you really continue blaming innocent people . " Alek stated .

" Innocent people you say , he is the literal King of Darkness, he isn't a person and even is he was innocent with our affairs, he is certainly far from being innocent generally. " Tyki said . Alek laughed a light sound as he sipped his liquid again .

" Yes I suppose you are right . Listen to me Tyki whatever you came here to do , forget it and leave . This will definitely hurt you in the end . " Alek advised .

She watched his side profile puzzled and wondered where indeed was the man she looked up to so much and even though she felt herself hating him at the moment, something deep deep inside her , told her something was wrong .

" Well well look at how you've grown . " Came a deep soothing voice , lulling all the distorted minds and hearts to a peaceful standstill .

" Here I thought my uncle Luci would be here when I got back , but instead you've been off brawling . " Dylan smirked as he gestured to his bruised face .

Poseidon appeared behind Lucifer sporting the same bruises and glared at him .

" Fine be like that Lucifer , see if I care. " He stated angrily as he disappeared in the form of mist . Lucifer didn't have much chance to retort as he fell forward on his hands and knees . His body suddenly began to heat up and change , his black hair went back to white as his true form came fort . He reached forward , hoping to see his brother, but realised he was gone , he collapsed as his body continued to change.
