Damon POV
Walking up to the cash register, I gazed out the window displays, “What's up with the police cars?” I asked a blonde-haired cashier.
“There was an incident— after you asked for the keys to the bathroom.
“What kind of incident?” I lowly asked.
The cashier tipped on her toes, searching over my shoulders, carefully inspecting our surrounding, leaning closer to me, I met her half there, her lips brushing against my ear lobes, “There is a dead body...in the alley next to us,” she whispered.
“A human—I... I mean...was it a woman or a man?” I asked, staring into her eyes.
She stepped back as a potential customer scanned the aisle behind me, “Employees aren't allowed to comment, and— I haven't got all the details yet anyway, cops even blocked off the area,” she said scanning the lens packets independently.
I fold my fists inside my coat pockets, Humans aren't brave enough to openly kill in broad daylight, this sounded like the
Lilith POV“Hey we have to go back, my— friends are probably in danger,” I turned to face Thomas who had his hands fixed on the steering wheel. “Friends? I thought Mel— was your only friend,” he snickered.I didn't want to tell him about Damon and Stefan, I only knew it was their car because Mel showed to me this morning before she left, “Just turn the car around—please,” I pleaded.“I can't, if I am not mistaken, I saw a CSI van back there, it's a crime scene and the cops can charge me if I park too close...attempt contamination of evidence, and it seems as if they have it under control,”Taking a deep breath, I folded my arms, hoping that whatever happened back there, they are ok.“Sorry— I hope your friends are ok,”“Yea, me too,” I mumbled.Driving towards the center of the city, he came to a stop at a cross-section, “Where I drop you off?” he asked.“Thank you, but here is fine, I will take it f
Stefan POVBack at the apartment, I swirled in circles, Damon was in the bathroom, trying to find the contacts nearest to his golden eyes, he's lucky that jail cell was dark enough so Cerberus didn't notice the change. I spent the last hour going over the pictures and I hoped I could find a reason, an explanation because— If Lucifer's dark side is here... on earth, might as well we throw in the towel and give up, there is no use fighting, it's a battle we already lost. We know nothing about this demon, only stories about how it seeks a victim and the way it kills and no demon can kill like that, at least no regular one, the claw marks were not minor, they dug deep inflicted by a monster.“Can someone please explain to me again what's happening?” Damon existed the latrine, drying his hands in a piece of paper towel, sitting next to Cerberus on the sofa.“Cerberus here says that he was guarding Hell's gate, took a nap, and found himself here— on earth,” I
Damon POVI laid in bed flat on my back, tucking my hand under my head, thinking. If only we were working together we would have been suspicious of Cerberus, that damn mongrel is a trickster, and he played us like a fool. Him hiding his true form behind human characteristics, made me believe that he has a heart, but how stupid of me to think that he's a hellhound, his loyalty lies with the master of hell. Eve II was probably the one who sent him to find us. After all, finding us means she'd find the girl. But Stefan was caught up in pride, and I was acting on how I— feel.Demons had two feelings lust and vengeance, I used to believe what I felt for Eve II was love, but as I said, demons don't adore anyone apart from their selves. I enjoyed fucking her in the forbidden areas of the castle she'd take me, allowing me to pound her deep, pulling out her hidden climaxes, Perhaps that's why she tolerated me, kept me around, I was one of Hell's
Lilith POV“Who does he think he is anyways,”I mumbled to myself, sitting in the kitchen, pouring me another shot of— what's the name? I picked up the bottle, trying to read the label... Yeah, whiskey. Why did he show up here unannounced, maybe he came to see if he left me heartbroken, sending his brother to tell me about his girlfriend back home was a coward move and I hated him for it?Remembering the necklace from earlier, I pulled it from my pocket, holding it in mid-air, studying it.I don't how to explain what I experienced today and if I tell anyone they are going to think that I am crazy, and I know I'm not. I don't know what the library ghost meant,'take this necklace, it will protect you until you can protect yourself'.I unlatched it, admiring it while thinking,Should wear it?It was a lovely necklace, the dark
Stefan POV“Max thought I told you... keep them coming!” I tried to yell above the music playing in the club. I was high off bloody marys, my vision was getting blurry and I felt lightheaded, the Devils Lare was Lucifers', I don't know who owns it now, Probably Eve II but who cares, it didn't cause trouble and its' the only place demons in the city can get a drink of Hell's favorite delight. No demon knew what it was made of, but we loved it, it was our kind of— booze. Max was a lower class demon, he was cast out of hell, and ever since, he has lived centuries among humans, trying to fit in and not obsessed with getting back in Hell, he just lives for the moment.The reverse Lucifer could be anywhere, we don't know what it looks like, but we have to find out... We— as in, my brother and I. I was wrong earlier, I just... Every time I think about her being Damon's mate, my heart breaks a little hearing her name each time it is said, Pulling my cellphone fr
Mel POV“Whoa!” I screamed at the top of my voice, enjoying the music, partying in the middle of the ocean isn't so bad after all. I tightly gripped my cup, throwing my hands above my head, wiggling my hips. Looking over to my left, I spotted Williams' mother at the mini bar, waving at me, Nervously waved back, cringing on the inside, it's late, she's old, shouldn't she be in bed.The moment became awkward, and I no longer wanted to dance, I need another shot of Hennessy— or two. I walked towards the main bar across the other half of the room, which was opposite the mini one, sitting on a stool, I called over one of the three male bartenders working.“What the strongest shit you got over that counter?”“Huh— I guess... Red zinfandel,”“Ok give it to me,” I demanded. “What? A single or double?” He inquired.“No... the whole bottle,”&ldquo
Damon POV“He is there,” I mumbled to Stefan as we stand before Lils' apartment door.“How you know?”“Because I can smell the bastard from here,” I growled, getting ready to knock down the door,Stefan pulled my shoulders, “Wait— the commotion might trigger the occupants to call the cops, let's teleport,”“Alright,” I agreed, “on three... One... Two...” My brother pulled me intoharmless flames, reappearing inside the apartment,“What happened to three?” I shouted in a whisper.“Three,” he smirked.“You always do this and I'm getting annoyed with your damn—”“Shh... Listen,” my brother cut me off.“I don't hear anything,” I mumbled.Smacking me upside the head, Stefan shot me a death glare, “With your demon ear,”“You cause this on yourself, you should have listened to me when I told you to throw out the necklace, we could have been here, enjoying each other company, having great sex, the
Eve II POVPacing back and forth in my chamber, I clasp Hades's knife close to my chest, it has been a while since I've heard from Azrael, how hard can it be to bring me a stupid, defenseless, bastard child of Lilith II, I only hope the darkness can hold up his end of the bargain, the girl— for his freedom.“Your Majesty?” A servant spoke humbly, barely knocking on the door.“What is it!” I growled in annoyance.“It's— it's your breakfast, my queen, the chef wants to know if you rather dine inside or out... it's a lovely d—” “Outside is fine,” I snarled. Peeking through my window, it was indeed a beautiful day, the sun sat high in the sky, and the flames of Hell stood still. I smirked thinking about the underworld, heaven, and earth, they should enjoy it while they can because when I rule over the entire realm and its beings, there will be no more day breaks, only darkness.“My Queen,” another servant knocked, “I am here to cater to yo
