Chapter 3

Azelbub

Thunder claps filled the entire forest that was supposed to be the sacred place of the dark king, azelbub or the devil, the name people were familiar with. 

A black hole opened and men jumped out of it, naked once again, but this time infuriated. 

The last person jumped out and they bowed down to him. His brows were furrowed and his face mirrored disgust. Bushy eyebrows sat gracefully above big hazel eyes. His lips were as red as blood and hair as black as ebony. 

He stomped to the middle and tightened his dental bone. 

"Whose fault was it?!" He roared and they trembled, raising their heads to view their master. "Answer me!"

"We-we have no-no idea, sir." A man who appeared to be in his early thirties stammered. 

"Now our ritual has been spoilt and my butt is out there!" He bellowed.  "The world shouldn't be aware of this."

"Calm down, sir. What's the fuss all about when-"

"Silence!" Azelbub's fingers turned to talons and he pointed it towards who had spoken.

The man who could pass for a giant didn't get to finish his sentence because azelbub stroke him with a lightening bolt. He fell on the ground and the earth shook.

"Is there anyone that wants to tell me to calm down again?" He asked, blowing off invisible dust from his fingers and they all shook their heads in dismay. "Good."

He held his hand behind him and rocked back and forth on his heels. "Where's the wolf man and what we've been preserving in him?"

"I'm afraid he died." A man with white beards spoke, almost too bold. 

"What?" Azelbub's anger boiled in his veins. "And the substance?"

He went closer to the man and squinted his eyes at him, anger flaring out of his nose. 

"I'm afraid it merged with-"

"Damn you!" Azelbub's hand changed into a sword with which he used to stab the man in the gut. Blood gushed down the man's mouth and Azelbub smiled in satisfaction.The sword transformed back into his hand and he licked the blood off his fingers. "Who's next?" 

There was no answer.

The demon placed his thumb and index finger into his mouth and whistled. Two beasts–manticores with the head of a human, body of a lion and tail of a scorpion sped out of an even darker part of the forest and immediately, one of the beast bit the head of the man wolf, while the other bit the legs and they tore him into half. They ate him effortlessly, breaking every bone hungrily. 

"Yes!" The devil laughed with his hands in the air. "She needs to be found!" 

"That means one of us would have to go down to the mortal world and we can't." A short man stated and the devil snapped his head to his direction. The man jerked, afraid of what would become of him if Azelbub's wrath came upon him.

"True." He stroked his chin and gave it a long thought before a devilish grin crawled up his face. "But I hate facts, so we'd have to make that a lie." 

"How?" One of them asked. 

The devil took in the features of the man that spoke and he wrinkled his face. 

"Didn't I tell you not to show up here naked?" His eye brows furrowed. "Naked you disgusts me."

He snapped his fingers and the man was covered in a black attire. 

"What's the plan, master?" They chorused, their curiosity bubbling. 

"Dracula, I summon you to the sacred place and meeting of Azelbub!" The devil raised his hands to the sky and lightening illuminated the place, making the toothy grin he had on visible before it became dark again. 

The wind blew harshly and the sky which had a pale crescent moon that mirrored a talon was now covered by a dark angry cloud. Suddenly,  a man dropped out of the sky with his head bowed and after five seconds, he stood up with a vicious grin. 

"Hello..." He drawled then shoved his hands into the pocket of his black leather garment. "–best friend."

The members looked back and forth at the devil and Dracula in anticipation of what was going to happen next. 

"Spare me the fake pleasantries."

"Oh, really?" His grey eyes glittered with mischief. "But you summoned me and we're still best friends aren't we?"

"After what you did?" The devil's nose flared with anger as he clenched his fists. "Hell, no."

"But you punished me, isn't that enough to prove my newly found loyalty?." Dracula asked, puckering his forehead. "I'm a changed person, Azel."

The devil stared longly at his supposed best friend. "You would have been turned into ashes, but you're still useful and I need your help."

"The devil... Needs my help?" Dracula laughed. "And why should I help you?"

"Because if you don't, we'll have no illam, no ritual, no forgiveness from me, no lifting of the curse and you'd miss the opportunity of gaining the powers I am planning to bestow on you."

"I can't go down to the world, you know-"

"I'll give you powers that'll sustain you. You'd feed on human blood to stay alive, you'd be fast, strong and you'd never die!" The devil exclaimed. 

Dracula poked a finger in his ear and winced. "What was the shouting for and you already made me a demon, I'm alive forever."

"Have I been speaking some foreign language? I said the ritual wasn't successful and we have to find someone... She has what we need and she also has my nudes." The devil stated with a straight face. 

"What are the downsides of this power and what are the weaknesses?"

"Sun." Answered the devil before poking at his wrist with a finger and letting his blood drip into a cup. "I already cursed you not to be able to walk under the sun because of your betrayal... You'd live with it and so would your followers."

Dracula stepped forward and gulped down the concoction that was made by the devil and he clutched his stomach, his eyes rolled skyward.

"Yes!" The devil cackled. "It's working."

Dracula fell on the ground and shivered before letting out a loud shout that shook the earth. A new demon was born! 

"All hail Azelbub!" They chanted, bowing down to the master. 

"Jonathan!" The devil exclaimed and a young man answered. "Step into the middle."

The man did as he was told and before any one could say jack, Dracula launched at him and sent them to the ground. Dracula's fangs elongated and his skin became white. Instantly, he dug his head into Jonathan's neck and bit him. 

A deafening shout flew out of Jonathan's mouth and the birds flew out of their trees. The manticores roared and a windy storm began. 

Dracula sucked the blood out of Jonathan and when he was done, he got to his feet and blood was dripping down his fangs. He wiped his mouth with the back of his palm and gazed upon the devil. 

"What am I now?" Dracula asked, voice as scary as the dead of the night. 

Manticores devoured Jonathan. Their sharp edged teeth chewed on his limbs, and bones.

"A vampire." The devil grinned wickedly.

    There was a pallid look on Maris' face by the time she strode deeper into the place that was dimly lit by a light, reflected from metres away.The discoloration on her face meant one thing–she was uncomfortable and something dark was lurking in this room, which pricked at her skin, causing her to swallow hard. Eyes scanning the place that looked like an ice cave, she was mesmerized amidst uneasiness.She led them, following the blue light with Dracula by her side. She could hear just how his heart was beating in anticipation."Maris." Egon called and she froze in her tracks, taking her time to glance over her shoulder. "Come, I have something to show you."Maris chanced a glance at the devil's displeased demeanor. He wore a mask of irritation as he watched Egon whisk her away to a darker path on the right."Where are you going?" Dracula and Logan asked, distaste laced in their words as they quickly shared a look of hat

    "Why should I trust you?" Dracula gave Egon a long skeptical look with both his eyes squinted."Because it's fact. I mean, why do you think the devil made it a forbidden place and doesn't allow us sirens and tritons, owners of the land to visit there?" Egon questioned, making a lot of sense. "Because he doesn't want anyone to get a hold of his weakness."Dracula hummed, stroking his chin lightly and thinking deep about what Egon had just said."Think about how powerful you'll be if you get a hold of the Crystal. Give us Maris and we'd take you there." Egon tried to strike a deal, but Dracula shook his head in dismay."No, I'm not letting you have Maris just like that. What if you're lying?" Dracula's brows knitted into a frown as he pierced his eyes into that of Egon's."We'll take you there ourselves then." Egon offered and Dracula gave it a long thought before accepting.They journeyed together again, chatteri

    Cold fear settled in her stomach when she locked gazes with Dracula. Darkness sat on his head like a crown and caused Maris to stop breathing for a minute.His face had a stoic expression on it with dead eyes. He held his index finger to his lips and swiped his thumb on his neck, gesturing for her to keep shut or die.Well, what a zinger. Dracula was breaching the agreement he had with her people for the sake of his own selfish reasons.He pressed his palm harder to her lips and dragged her quietly out of the tent, into the cold night. Bats flew over them and black birds stood on the branches of the tall trees surrounding them.At the drop of a hat, he whisked Maris away and deeper into the forest, carrying her bridal style. Maris had seen enough this season and she would give anything just to be free and normal again."There he is." Dick pointed at Dracula enthusiastically when he had arrived. "Tie her, she's a fighte

    MarisMaris' breathing accelerated, so did her heart beat. Her muscles tensed and she vibrated, palms balled into fists. The sight of Dracula gripping Logan's throat set her soul on fire.Abruptly, she broke the chain around her wrist, turned and grasped the neck of the vampire that was refraining her from going over to Dracula."Dracula!" Her voice sounded like a whistle, causing the vampires to whine, hands covering their ears. "Leave him alone or I'll kill him!"Dracula dryly looked at her like he was bored to death–saying, "Really?"His brows arched and Maris had a firm grip on the vampire's neck who gasped for air. Her eyes turned eerily black. The strength in her multiplied as she gritted her teeth and was slowly raising the vampire with his neck.Dracula wasn't in anyway bothered. He continued to tighten his grip, closing up Logan's windpipe.The fact it didn't make Dracula flinch made her fr

    Dracula"Who are you?" Dracula stepped forward, pushing Lucy behind him to safety, his fangs slowly shooting out."My name is Egon Ajax Kayden and I am a Triton, fill in leader of the sirens." He announced, flames burning in his eyes as he set his staff down. "You have what belongs to us!"Dracula scrunched up his face and glanced around him for anything he might have taken from the siren kingdom. He hadn't even been there before.Maris was excited, she could feel a connection with the man. Could he be her brother or father? But this man was too young to be her dad."No, I don't." Dracula shrugged, interlocking fingers with Lucy in an attempt to walk out, but the Triton stopped him by holding out his staff to Dracula's chest."Yes, you do. You have one of our kind and we heard her cry for help." He stated, still keeping his cool."Wait, aren't sirens just women?" Dracula frowned. "I thought the males got

    Maris~~Azazel's dungeon."Help me, I need to get out of this place." Maris sobbed, tears trailing down her cheeks.With her back against the bars, she slid down to the floor and hugged her knees to her chest."I just want everything to go back to normal, I want Logan." She wailed, earning a pitiful look from Lucy."I wish there was a way to help you, but my fate is even worse than yours." Lucy sighed, resting her head on the wall.Maris sat up, remembering something her mother had told her when she was alive. She pulled off both her earrings and laid them in her palms. The earrings had the same symbol on her wrist and her mother's face flashed in her head."Whenever you're in trouble, cry to this or hold it and scream help." Her mother instructed, pinning the earrings to her ears. "And you'll be saved."Maris snapped back to reality and began to cry, feeling the root of bitterness in the depth
