ICHABOD'S POV.
In the realm of hell, as usual I was subjected to torment. Demons from the pit of hell, thousands of them did their job in tormenting us.
One would actually like to know the type of torment,we the tormented souls of hell go through.
Hell originally could be described as a lake of fire. A place were souls,who have temporary bodies are burned in torment.
When new souls arrive in hell,they are first given temporary bodies, through which they can experience the pain and suffering of the torment of hell. When given temporary bodies,they are pushed into the lake of fire (hell) were gnashing of teeth and pain shall abide.
Once pushed into the lake of fire, their temporary bodies are burned by the fire, but the worst thing about hell is that, you don't get to die. You only experience the pain.
To add to it, demonic worms tend to eat into your body and soul, bringing about even more pain that one can't account for. The torment of hell isn't something one would like to go through. It isn't even a child's play. I hate to say it, but it's the worst thing that can ever happen to a person.
That's why, using the devil's son as a way of escape, is my only opportunity of being free from the torment of hell. I just wish,my plan of escape would work even after all these years.
Not to lie,a few tormented souls have actually escaped the torment of hell. And when I say few, I mean few. Very few, and it should be about five percent of them that had escaped.
But anyways, my escape plan is already layed out, hope it works.
----
As usual, I sat on the Rocky ground of hell. The fire burning my body and soul. The pain was excruciating and there's no stopping it from consuming me. Though, I was already used to the torment of hell but I couldn't help but gnash my teeth.
The whole lake of fire was filled with millions upon millions of tormented souls. They were passing through one torment or the other. Naming such torments would be quite disgusting but it's better you know the kind of torment we souls pass through.
Sometimes, demons from the pit of hell usually extract the private part of the temporary bodies of souls and usually consume it. Quite disgusting right?
Imagine if your private part is removed and eaten right in front of you,how would you feel?
Though you go through the pain of removal of your private part, but the funny thing is that, the private part grows back again.
Some female tormented souls who have gained temporary bodies are usually raped from time to time, by the demons from the pit of hell.
Especially, the ugly demons. I hate the torment of hell with passion. How I wish I could escape hell sooner, then I wouldn't think twice.
To make it hard, those demonic worms usually eat up the bodies of tormented souls making the pain even more unbearable.
The torment of hell, like I said again, isn't something of child's play. But I will escape it.

SANDRAINO'S POV.
Lucy stared at me with a confused look. I couldn't help but squeeze her hand tightly, maybe for some sort of support or something.
"What are you talking about?"
She asked after I said what I needed to say to her.
I sighed.
"Look" I said with a reassuring expression. "There's a reason why Drake wants to be evil. It has something to do with his past and I think it's from when he was age six".
"When he started commiting evil deeds?"
She asked in a way that made it look like some sort of a statement.
"Yeah. And I'm sorry for supporting his evil deeds..."
I was about completing my statement when she cut me short.
With a 'shh' sound, she placed her finger on my lips silencing me.
She sighed and gave me a peck on the cheek.
"You don't have to apologise for supporting him. Only if you had known that he was doing evil things to kill his heart, you wouldn't have supported him".
She spoke with a considerate smile.
I smiled back at her and had to kiss the back of her hand.
"Then we need to find out what had happened to our son at the age of six".
I said with a new found determination.
Lucy gave a slight frown at my words. I was confused upon seeing her,frown.
"I don't think that's what our son needs right now".
Lucy said with disagreement.
"But at least,we need to find out what had happened to him at the age of six. Then we will be able to look for a way to solve the problem".
"But the only way to solve a problem like this is love".
Lucy spoke again, still with disagreement.
This time, I had to frown.
What was she talking about?.
Seeing the confused look on my face, it gave her the go ahead to explain what she's trying to say.
"All I'm trying to say is that,if we find out what had happened to him at age six, then the only way forward in order to diminish his need to kill his heart, is to offer him love".
She explain to the best she could.
Straightening up my back, I thought about what she had just said while keeping quiet.
If I get to figure out what had happened to my son, will the way forward after that be love. But if we are to offer him love but in what way should we do it?
"How are we going to do it?"
I asked after a moment of silence.
She gave a raised eyebrow which told me she didn't quite get what I said.
"How are we going to offer him love, according to you?"
I asked again.
She smirked in the most mischievous way I have ever seen on her face.
She gently jumped on top of the bed, taking her place as if preparing to go to sleep.
Then, looking at me with her still mischievous smirk, I couldn't help but feel anticipated on whatever she wanted to say.
"We find his mate".
She simply said, making her look like she had no care in the world.
"Find his mate?"
I asked while also jumping on top of the bed and taking my place beside her.
She nodded, smiling. "Yeah,we find his mate".
"But that's impossible. For someone who hated love,had never experienced love, never ever wants to experience love. For someone that has a cold heart, it's impossible for him to ever love. I'm sure he would even have to kill his own mate when he sets his eyes on her and that's because of his hate for love".
I took a breath in and out after ranting about how Drake hates love.
Besides, Lucy knows how Drake hates love with passion. So, she shouldn't even suggest that kind of idea of Drake falling in love. Look at his reaction when I told him that I love him.
Remember when I had visited him earlier, I had told him that I love him and that I was sure he loves me, the look on his eyes and the words that came out from his mouth, didn't even correspond with love.
And now, my mate is saying that what Drake's need is love.
If it had been earlier time before Drake had almost wiped out the underworld, I would have believed, but seeing what Drake is capable of doing, it's a different aspect entirely.
"Mate"
Lucy called out softly breaking me from my thoughts.
Looking at her, I could see the smile on her face.
"Everybody deserves love".
She said that and before I could even say a thing, she layed her head on the pillow and immediately closed her eyes. It was like she didn't want to talk any further.
I sighed.
I was hiding something from her. I had not told her my experience on what had happened when I had visited Drake. The fear in Drake's eyes still stuck in my head, kept fueling me into finding out what had really happened to him at the age of six.
But maybe, what Drake may need is love. Besides, I the devil did fall in love. So he could too.
By tomorrow, I will call for a meeting again. I may need to speak to my subordinates about Drake's actions when I had asked him the question Munokim had advised I asked him.
Maybe not tomorrow. The day after tomorrow.
By tomorrow, I decide that I will take a walk around the kingdom of darkness, at least, it help me think about my son's situation and how to stop him from becoming a monster. While still figuring out what had happened to him.
