A smile is everything. It shows dominance, gets you out of trouble, but most of all, it shows enjoyment. I smiled a lot in hell. Usually it was when a person fell in front of me, their faces half melted off and their body torn to bits. The sound of sizzling blood is an interesting sound you know, everyday waking up to that sound. One day, however, Lucifer came to me with the most interesting of queries; he asked what I thought would happen if we killed an archangel. I should have taken that as a warning, but I never said I really cared at the time. Two months later I was born, and before you ask, yes you heard that right. Lucifer had reincarnated me as newborn Nathaniel Thames. I was born to Margaret and Joseph Thames, who were both owners of a multi-billion dollar oil company might I add. Everything seemed to be normal in life...other than my powers taking a hike for a while. I enjoyed the rich life. Who wouldn't? My father was kind...the fool, and my mother was loving....I can't say anything about her since I hold a greater regard for her. My family was churchgoing...just my luck. I sat in church wondering about what was up there. If God was really better than that sexist piece of crap known as Lucifer. Now, I realize you are waiting for me to get to the point so our story begins when I met a girl named Allie.
I slowly blinked my eyes, taking in the soft morning sun that gave my red-and black bed the illusion of burning. It was my birthday...the fifth of June. I had now been in this body for fifteen years. I slowly got up and looked at the time. 9:00 am. That would give me thirty minutes....give or take. I snapped my fingers, and in a flash of hellfire, I was now wearing one of my finest suits. I brush myself off, then I walk through the extravagant house. The white and gold embroidery was a little much if you ask me, plus there was the big velvet couch. My mother said it had a "personality". I open the two big oak wood doors at the mouth of the house to find a girl standing at the gates.
"Um...Ma'am you aren't allowed to be here. This is private property."
"You really don't recognize me do you? Oh my, what has this world done to you?"
"Ma'am I have no idea what you're talking about so please-"
"Oh shut up, Wrath. I have no time for your silly games."
"W-wait. What did you call me? Who are you? How do you know my position in hell?!"
"You would've known me as Lust...I'm hurt you don't remember."
"L-Lust?! Oh man what in the fuck are you doing here?!"
"Luci sent me...told me to say hi. Encourage you a bit."
"Dammit...the whole reason I took this mission was because Lucifer wanted to send you!"
It is partially true. I used to care about Lust. We had a fling...maybe two or three, but I did care about her. Lucifer was in his office one day and I remember walking down there to talk to him about the insane idea of killing an archangel. Lucifer turned to me and told me the plan...I had wanted to strangle him. I straightened my tie and told him I would take her place...I guess it had been for nothing.
"Lust...where are you staying and why are you wearing those...rags?!"
"Wrath...it's called a t-shirt not a rag and I'm on my own right now."
"Now that I think about it we should probably exchange earth names. I'm Nathaniel Thames, but you can call me Nate...whats your name?"
"Allison Green, but you can call me Allie."
"Come with me Allie...we must give you a place to stay."
I walk her to the door then freeze. It was now 9:30 am. My parents would wake up any second now.
"We have to hurry...come now."
We quickly ran through the house until i heard-
"Stop!"
"Hello Father."
My father was an intimidating man. He was built like one of those wrestling guys and had a black mustache and slicked back hair. He wore his normal black and white tuxedo and his monocle over his bad eye.
"What in God's name are you doing bringing a girl here?!"
"She had nowhere to go."
My father's face softened, then turned to a smile.
"I knew church would encourage you for good my boy!"
"Y-yeah it sure did!"
"What is your name young lady?"
"Allison sir...what's your name sir?"
"Joseph Thames and it is a pleasure to meet one of my son's potential suitors-"
"That is not what this is father. She's just a friend."
"Bah! That's what they all say...now. I have breakfast to make and then you and I are going to have a talk son...it's of utmost importance."
"Yes father."
I walked Allie down one of our many hallways to the guest room that sat right beside mine.
"This is your room."
"Why don't we bunk together?"
"You know very well why now this is your room and that's that."
"Oh come on. I can just imagine your muscles, your lips, and definitely your-"
"Do not finish that sentence."
After a nice breakfast of eggs and bacon, I sit down with my father who looked really serious.
"While your mother is seeing to your guest, we must talk."
"About what father?"
"After you turn eighteen, I am retiring....the company will then belong to you."
"Father all due respect, but I have no idea how to run an oil company."
"Bah...I'll teach you. Anyhow, I want you to walk down to town with Allie okay?"
"Why?"
"Son, she can't sit in her room all day."
With that, Allie and I had walked down to town. There were a lot of people out today, so I grabbed Allie's wrist to keep her close. She blushed and smiled, I rolled my eyes.
"Just keep up okay?"
She nodded and we finally got to the first destination my father recommended I take her...the cafe.We sit at a table and order our drinks then like the other humans do most of their lives, we wait. The waiter finally came back a good twenty minutes later and then...he dropped a drink and it spilled on Allie. This is the part where a feeling wells up inside of me...a feeling of hate and anger toward that waiter...I have to teach him a lesson. A few hours later, everyone was leaving work. I was waiting for my prey...you don't understand the need you see. It rips at your insides and makes you need to hurt someone or something. I smile because, for me, it's the best feeling in the world. The man finally walked out after about forty minutes of waiting. He was tall, pale, ugly, and perfect for ripping. The man was about to walk past me but I grabbed his wrist and pulled. I felt it give and heard a wet ripping sound as the arm separated from the man's body. He screamed and fell to the ground, I relished the tears dripping from his eyes as I smiled a sadistic smile down at the poor creature.
"This is the day you die. Congrats Fuck head."
I grabbed his chin and crushed his whole jaw with a deafening crack. then with another wet ripping sound, I tore the bottom of the jaw off and burned it away. No evidence no crime...then again I am doing this out in the open. I burned the blood off my hands and suit and walked away. hopefully he'd bleed out...at least he can't talk...oh wait. I went back and crushed both his hands under my heels, he screamed and I smiled. Allie just stared and I smiled at her.
"You're welcome Mon cheri."
I left the man screaming and crying as Allie and I walked back to the estate. On the way back...Allie had some choice words.
"What the fuck was that?!"
"Um...vengeance...it's kinda my thing."
"Yeah but that was way excessive."
"I did him a favor. Now he's better looking than he was before I hurt him. You're lucky I didn't rip off his goods and left him a virgin."
"You are just as sadistic as ever...did anyone tell you that you are a terrible person?"
"Yes, but I don't care. Fuck the world."
"Damn straight."
