Chereads / Sweet, and Sour / Chapter 4 - Her demon child

Chapter 4 - Her demon child

A letter slipped from heaven to hell and landed on lucifer's door step. Lucifer, who had just come from earth and found the letter, he thought for himself, "i thought that i told the post officials to change all the envelopes to a black colour. Wait a minute, this isnt their style. Then it must be from creator"

My fallen angel,

 I see that you are trying to do your best to stop the non sense that you have created, but what you have done is done. The god of justice, have already have given the judgemnt about it and she is now furious that you are doing the same mistake again. It's no use, it's rather take that poor girl's dreams or her life.

Thankyou,

Your creator

"I seriously hate you" grinned lucifer as he burnt the letter, he continued, "i know that i made a mistake, but, i too have a heart, i am not that ruthless to create demons only to erase my mistakes" 

He looked above and saw the earth and he saw alice, happy as she was waiting for the next nine years. "creator may be is right, but i am happy to see a soul that is happy" he thought for himself.

Above on earth, alice was talking to richard about the baby names, "richard, what name would you name our child" asked alice, richard repled "i would name, if its a girl, rose, but if its a boy i cant decided you know, but in forthunantely, ... , wait, are you telling me ???", "yes, i am going to expect in about nine years and i made a deal with someone, a person down below earth" said alice in a nervous tone.

"Down below earth, then it must be lucifer or any demon, but looking at your face i can guess that it's lucifer" replied richard in a funny way thinking that alice was joking.

"How did you guess, i mean, are'nt you surprised that i made a deal with someone like that" said alice in a serious tone.

Richard in a serious tone, "wait, are you serious, what are you now, a demon????", "yes, richard, i am a demon and our child is also going to be a demon too" replied alice is a very shy tone.

"Its so cool. I always wanted to see a demon, but they didnt exist in this world" said a exited richard.

"I am happy that you took it richard, but i might change" asked alice. "Oh, dont worry, i would give my blood if you or my child needs them" answered richard. Alice was so moved, so she controlled her blood and flesh cravings and eventually became a "vegetarian" demon.

Nine years have passed in a snap and it was july of 2008. Alice and richard were having dinner, then alice started to feel some pain. "Richard, i think i am going into labour!!!!!" 

Richard quikly reacted and took her to the hospital. "Sir, you dont have to worry, we got our best in class doctor, i assure you, your wife and child will be healthy" said a nurse, who was outside of the maternity room.

In three hours, the doctor came out and told richard, "sir, i am very sorry to say this to you, but neither the mother nor the boy survived", "this cant be happening, i dont know what to do" sighed richard. "It's in gods hands, he decided to take their lives. Sir you can be with your wife for sometime until she is taken to be burried" said the doctor.

Richard enters the room, weeping. He sat down, holding alice's hand and whispered, "what have i done to deserve this?". He wept for a few hours and realized, what have been lost is lost, and he cant do anything, and stood up.

As he stood up, he heard a faint voice, "richand,..... Don't.....leave me". He turned back and found alice opening her eyes.

"Alice, alice,alice!!!!!. Oh! I thought i lost you, but i didnt, but i want to say this to you" said a relieved richard.

"What is it richard?, what is it?. Where is our child richard?" asked a nervous alice. "Alice, i dont know how to say it, but our child didnt survive" said a crying richard.

"What??, it cant be, my child would have been sleeping, the doctors must have not noticed that, call the doctors richard, call him" exclaimed alice.

As he couldnt do nothing much, richard went and called the doctor. The doctor said to alice, "miss, i am really happy that you have survived, but unfortunatly, you boy have not survived"

"Really, i cant believe this doctor, show me my baby doctor, show him please" cried alice to the doctor. "Mam, it is out of my way, but i know that you are the sister of our king, so i can give your child for a day, but there are certain rules. If, miraculously if your child escapes he death, you must inform us about it"

"Yes doctor, i will" said alice in an exited tone. "Ok, nurse, bring the child" said the doctor and the nurse brought the child.

"Does'nt he look beautiful richard" asked alice to richard as they left the hospital building by morning. "Yes dear, but, um, are you sure about this?" asked a rather worried richard.

"I am sure about what i am doing. Anyways, its today only i can be with my boy you know" said a happy yet a worried looking alice. "Ok, i am not going to do anything today, so you can enjoy with our son" said richard.

Alice said ok and went on her way. She went to many places where she planned to go and atlast by noon, she went to the park where she first say lucifer and sat down on a bench over looking the place. 

Alice suddenly started to cry. "Why am i the one to suffer like this, why? Why?" she asked herself.

Then, a mild breeze blew carrying flowers and leaves blew past alice. Then, she heard a cry. She looked around and she found no child nor baby, there she realize and looked down. She found her baby boy crying out loud. Alice felt happy and ran to her home.

She reached home and found her family there. "Everyone look at my baby boy!, he looks beautiful isnt he?" exclaimed alice showing her boy. "Alice, i am happy to see you happy, but the child's dead" said her father, not noticing the baby cooing.

"No, he's not dead, look at him, he's alive"said alice. Everyone noticed the cooing child and was surprised. "Alice!" everyone shouted. "How is this even posible?" asked scarlet. "Power of mother?, i guess" answered alice.

"We are happy that you have got a child alice, now, what are you going to name him?" Asked scarlet in a gentle tone. "I thought of arthur would be a good name, but I wanted to ask richard before naming him" repiled alice, as richard behind James was giving the 'ok' sign, alice gently laughed.

Then alice heard a "mama" from her child. She was surprised, but is happy that her child could talk early.

Since everyone came leaving their important jobs, they left that evening and richard was also called for an important meeting in japan.

Alice was all alone with her child in her home. "Knock! Knock!" a sond came from the front door. "Coming!" said alice and opened the door. "You look even more beautiful than earlier dear" said the man in white and red cloths. "Sorry, do i know you sir" asked a confused alice. 

"Oh! Its me lucifer, remember that day, in the park" said lucifer, "yes, i remembered now, sorry that i didnt notice you at first" repled alice. "You dont have to dear. Now where is your child" asked lucifer. 

"Come inside and the baby is in the living room" said alice and went to the kitchen to get some red wine for the guest.

"Well, well, well, he sure does have your looks and his father's hair with, of course, your silver shine" commented lucifer about Arthur. "He, sure is beautiful, I really can't understand why there is a missing memory, like once I enter the room, then the next second I was like trusty and richard was standing infront of me crying" asked alice.

"To simple put, that hours was the final stage, now to say, you are a full demon, I might be surprised that you might kill some one for their blood or some thing, but from what I noticed, you are the only demon to survive without blood, or any carnivoric food,...I guess?" replied lucifer.

He also stated about the main weakness that would kill both...
