LUCY'S POV.
Using the sword my mate had given to me, I stabbed my son right through the heart, stopping him from changing into a heartless monster. My actions had broken a piece of the chains hardening my son's heart, abruptly stopping my son from changing into a heartless monster.
But immediately I did that, there was an explosion. It was as if I bomb had been let loose. The explosion had caused me to fall from the sky, hitting the ground with such a loud thud and immediately, my vision went blank and darkness was all I saw before I fainted.
I woke up not long after to see the motionless body of my mate some meters away from where I lay. A sharp pain was all I felt when I had woken up. It was a really bad headache. I was weak, so weak that I couldn't even sit up. The sharp pain in my head seemed to even increase my weakness.
I payed down on the ground for a few minutes, trying to gather strength to get up on my feet. After gathering the needed strength, I sat up weakly and that made the sharp pain increase.
Taking a look around, I could still see my mate lying down on the ground, though his wasn't moving. I feared the worst that he could be dead. But I decided to think about that actually happening. Besides, he was the devil, he couldn't just die easily. Or could he?
I groaned as I pushed myself up on my feet. Another thought that came to my mind was my son. After destroying the evolution and the huge explosion as a result, I didn't catch sight of where he had landed.
I sighed as the thought of all those years of my son's evil deeds. Who would have thought that he was doing all those evil things to kill his heart and become a heartless monster?
Taking careful steps, I walked over to were my mate lay. His eyes were closed as expected and I couldn't help but marvel at his outstanding handsomeness.
What is wrong with me?
I shouldn't be thinking of how handsome my mate is when he may probably be dead.
I crouched down to see if he was still breathing. Somehow, I felt fear looming over me. With shaking hands, I checked his pulse and thank goodness he was still breathing.
I gave a sigh of relief.
Using the last of my energy, I decided to heal his wound. A deep sword cut. But first of all, I need to send for help probably from the demon Lords. Now that they had taken the remaining evil spirits to safety, they should have to come back to get me and my mate and peradventure,my son.
Condensing little of my energy, I created a heart shaped essence. It was more of a call for help. Lifting my hands up, I sent it to do it's job and call for help from the demon Lords.
The underworld was in a total mess. It was like a war had happened. Maybe it could actually be called a war especially since it involves killing by my son.
Crouching down again, I placed my palm on top of Sandraino's wound, doing that I forced my healing energy into his wound. Red light found its way into his wound as I healed it.
Finished with healing my mate's wound, I heard a faint cry. It was the cry of a familiar voice and it tore my heart to hear the distress in that voice.
Leaving my mate's side, I lifted myself into the air, trying to find the source of that voice. It wasn't long till I found my son. He was lying down on top of a building made of crystalline stones. This crystalline stones were forged into making the building just like the devil's castle.
I flew down to Drake who seemed to be quite wounded. He lay down a lot weak and tired.
Landing on top of the building, I rushed over to him and knelt down beside him. Thankfully, he was awake but seemed weak to get up.
"What are you doing here? Leave, I don't wanna see you".
Drake spoke with a firm voice, though it wasn't cold or harsh.
I ignored his words and immediately started healing his wounds. He didn't try to stop me or anything, but only stared intently at me.
"Is he alive?"
He suddenly asked making my gaze to snap at him.
Giving him a nod, he smiled warmly.
"You love him so much, don't you?"
I said with a slight chuckle.
He frowned and that made me to bite my lower lip.
"I don't love him. Infact, I hate him. I was only checking on him. But tell him that I would one day become an evil heartless monster whether he likes it or not".
I sighed upon hearing what he said.
"You are still bent on becoming that heartless monster?"
I asked which sounded more like a question.
He nodded weakly.
"But why?"
I asked with a hint of frustration in my voice.
He sighed, obviously frustrated as well.
"You wouldn't understand. Ever since I was six, I just feel this ever growing need to become an evil heartless monster. I don't really know how to explain it".
He explained it with frustration.
"Then what you need is love. Love from someone who you care about which could actually be your mate. To rid your mind of that need to become a monster".
I said with a confident smile.
I earned a frown in return. Drake growled angrily and I could see the rage in his eyes.
Taking a look at his heart, I could see that his heart was still hardened but on the safe side, his heart wasn't dead.
"Love is a sign of weakness. And I will never ever experience love even from my mate. Even if I have to kill my mate not to experience love, I will do it".
Drake muttered with anger glowing in his eyes.
He pushed me, abruptly stopping me from healing him any further. He got up on his feet while growling noisily like a monster. I sat down on the floor staring at him intensively but not with fear.
Just in the twinkling of an eye, long chains shot out from nowhere in particular, bounding Drake in place. A confused look lay on his face and I was sure I had one as well. The seven demon Lords alongside with Legion appeared. They were the ones who had sent the chains, bounding Drake and stopping him from moving.
Drake growled angrily as he struggled to get out from the chains that had bound him in place. He struggled against the chains but it was in vain as the chains were held tightly by the seven demon Lords.
"We've got him. Hold him tightly".
Leviathan spoke while struggling to keep the chains bounding Drake.
Drake seemed to be more powerful than they had thought as it took their combined strength in bounding him with the chains.
Sandraino,my mate,flew down from the sky and landed on top of the building were I and Drake were. He rushed over to me and took me in his arms. I couldn't help but feel comfort in his arms.
"Did he hurt you?"
He asked referring to my son.
I shook my head sideways.
"What are they doing to him?"
I asked with a worried look.
"Don't worry. They are not hurting him. They just want to bind him and take him to the castle. He has caused a lot of mess right now and thank goodness you were able to stop him from changing into a heartless monster".
I sighed hearing his words. I placed a peck on his cheeks and he smiled.
"I almost thought I lost you".
His smile widened even more.
"No one can easily kill the devil. Not even my son and besides, credit should be given to you for stopping Drake in time".
He said with a sweet smile that warmed my heart.
Looking up at the dark sky, I noticed that the dark clouds seemed to have dissipated a little bit.
Sandraino followed my gaze and he smirked.
"We better go back to the castle. They will handle him".
Sandraino spoke with utmost seriousness.
I nodded.
Taking one last look at Drake who was struggling with the chains bounding him, a small tear fell from my eyes.
Sandraino immediately carried me up in a bridal style and I couldn't help but chuckle. Even the devil could be sweet sometimes.
We left for the castle. The seven demon Lords were able to bind Drake and force him to the castle.
As for Legion and the remaining evil spirits, Sandraino had invited demons from the demon realm in helping Legion rebuild the underworld after the chaos Drake had caused. It still surprises me that my son did all of this just to become a heartless monster. Good thing that I had broken one of the chains hardening his heart during when he was changing if not, he would have been the monster his father had once been. In all this, the most affected was the underworld, because a lot of evil spirits were killed.
ICHABOD'S POV.
My name is Ichabod. I am a tormented soul in the realm of hell. In my past life, I was a serial killer. I wanted by the police for being a notorious killer, even became a fugitive. As always, life comes to an end. I died in a car accident while trying to escape the police.
It's kinda funny, when I was alive a lot of people have been wishing me dead, because I have either killed their loved ones or families. But it was only a car accident that was able to stop me.
After I had died, I was judged by the angels of heaven and sent down here to hell for all the sins I had committed. I was to be tormented for eternity as punishment for all the sins I had committed. Just like any other soul that was sent to hell, I was tormented. The torment of hell was something,one wouldn't want to go through. I couldn't take it any longer. The torment of hell was pain, suffering and gnashing of teeth that one wouldn't want to experience.
I longed for a way to escape the torment of hell. I longed for a way to escape hell and the kingdom of darkness in general. But I knew that escaping hell was not really possible especially with Lucifer being the guardian of the gates of hell.
But one day, luck smiled on me. I got to encounter a boy, quite little but I got to know he was the devil's son. The devil, the king of the kingdom of darkness.
The boy had visited hell to see for himself the kind of torment, souls in hell usually passed through. That was when I got to meet the devil's son. Like I said,it was as if luck had smiled on me.
I decided to use the son of the devil as a way of escape. At long last, I was finally going to escape, hell,a place of torment and it was through the son of the devil.
At that time, he was just only at the age of six. Influencing his young mind to do my biddings was something simple than I thought. Besides, he was just at the age of six and he was my golden opportunity to escape the torment of hell.
