Panic Room Doom
Chapter 24 - DoomLilith The last two weeks with Emmett flew by, and before I knew it, Lucifer was standing in the entranceway of Emmett's home, waiting to take me to my impending doom. I hadn't had much of a chance to plan how I was going to steal all the items from Emmett when the time came. Still, now that I knew where his gemstone was, after sneaking out of my room two nights ago to confirm it was, in fact, in that secret room, I at least knew where to find everything once I had solidified a plan. Though I still needed to make a plan to execute one. As much as I didn't want to deal with the snakes again, I knew I would have to. The vision I had after Lucifer trapped me in his magic confirmed it. I knew that Cleopatra was down in that hellhole. I knew she was the giant snake that had collided itself into a tight ball, watching me as I slaughtered her siblings, the ones all too desperate to taste my blood and devour my flesh to realize what threat I was to them. Without her, any
Panic Room Gluttony
Chapter 25 - GluttonyGideon Panic room is busier than it has been in weeks. After Lucifer sent Emmett and me out of our little roundup mission, more people kept showing up. Eager to experience the thrill of the seven rooms designed after the seven deadly sins while also enjoying the alcohol and music on the dancefloor.I may be biased, but I always believed Gluttony to be the best room out of the seven, next to Lust and Greed, who almost entertained the same amount of guests as Gluttony did. It was funny watching all the clueless souls walk around the club damning themselves even further and making deals with without realizing the actual weight those deals held over them. The innocent were never invited here or at least were never asked by us to come here. But curiosity always seemed to bring even the most naive of souls here eventually; it never took much to corrupt a soul, to manipulate someone into believing one thing is correct while another is wrong, especially if you believe
Panic Room Lure
Chapter 26 - Lure LilithDid I have a death wish? Most definitely. Did I also have a deadline for finding Gideon's "special object" before Emmett arrived? Also yes. So that meant I had to do everything within my power to ensure Gideon warmed up to me before my time ran out. It should have been easy; Emmett already told me how easy Gideon was to manipulate once you knew what provoked him. But after nearly a week of radio silence, I decided that waiting around for him to crack was going to take too long. That's why I took things into my own hands this morning, planting thoughts into Gideon's mind that would grow and grow until he would no longer be able to resist them. A touch here, a whisper there. I wasn't as innocent as everyone thought I was. So maybe Eve wasn't entirely wrong when it came to me being the black sheep of the family, a bad egg, and not just because I was potentially Lilith two point oh.It was because I was a magnet for unwanted attention regarding wannabe bad bo
Panic Room Sinner
Chapter 27 - SinnerGideon If sin had a taste, it would be Lilith. Tasting like crisp apples and fall air, and fuck was it addicting. Just one taste, and I was screwed. I knew it the moment Lilith walked into Panic room that I would lose whatever battle we were about to face. It was like time stood still, and I found myself, like my brothers, being pulled toward her. She was even more appealing than I remembered. It was like a blast from the past, except with someone I believed I'd never see again. Because she was dead, or at least we thought she was. But now she's here proving us to be the fools we once swore we weren't all over again. I thought I could resist her siren call, thought I could make it a few more weeks without caving into the gluttonous thoughts that plagued my mind ever since Lucifer appeared in my house with her by his side. But I was wrong; a weak excuse for the male I once was. Because before Lilith, I had everything I ever wanted. Everything but a queen by my
Panic Room Ravenous
Chapter 28 - Ravenous LilithGideon was like a man starved; one taste was never enough. I was equally as obsessed with him, with how he felt against my bare skin, how sweet he tasted against my tongue, like freshly baked pastries. I knew I had to be careful with how much I allowed myself to be consumed by this need, this hunger. If I weren't careful, I would be lost, with no chance of ever returning. But in the moment, it was harder to see reason, harder to focus on what was real and what was fantasy.The days flew by, and suddenly, I only had one left before Emmett was supposed to arrive. I was no closer to finding whatever object I needed than I was when I arrived. Gideon kept every second of my day busy after finally giving in to his desires just weeks ago. From teaching me how to cook and bake to showing me just how many times I could come in a single day. I had no time to sneak away and continue my hunt. It was why I had to take advantage of Gideon's exhausted state tonight an
Panic Room Scheming
Chapter 29 - Scheming Gavin I always prided myself on my ability to tell when someone was lying. It was a gift only someone who needed to have control of everything, like me, truly possessed. Order created a sense of power. With power came leadership, and with leadership came the ultimate power and being one of the most powerful princes of hell created more enemies than allies. And being able to spot the lies spewed by some of the most cunning people in our world was a gift I often used to remain at the top of the food chain.It was how I ruled and how I played. If I wanted something, needed it, or couldn't get enough of it, I did whatever necessary to get it. Greed presented itself in every aspect of my day and followed me well into my slumber. I was, in every meaning of the word, greedy.But to catch someone in a lie was the most rewarding gift of all. Because it gave me control over more than just my own life, my own world; it gave me control over another soul, another living bei
Panic Room Psycho
Chapter 30 - Psycho LilithThe month at Gideon's flew by, and before I knew it, it was time to go to the next house. I wasn't sure whose house I would be going to now, I was supposed to go to Gavin's, but when I asked Gideon about it, he said there had been a change of plans, and he didn't know where I was going next. And that didn't sit right with me, especially not when it was paired with Gideon's sudden mood change. He went from not being able to get enough of me two days ago back to the standoffish attitude he had when I first got here. 'He got what he wanted from you, and now he's done.' The little voice in my head whispered.It's not like I should care about whether it was speaking the truth or not, but somewhere along the line, in the last couple of weeks, I had lost myself in the game I was forced to play. I lost myself in this fake reality I created to get what I wanted, needed to survive, and now it was catching up to me. A knock sounded at the door before it was pushed
Panic Room Bliss
Chapter 31 - BlissLucifer It took a lot to push me over the edge, but after Gavin's report back about Lilith's attempt to brainwash Emmett and Gideon, I reached my tipping point. I knew keeping her here was a risk, but I didn't think she could dig her claws into my brothers so quickly, not before we had a chance to make her pay for all the shit she did to us back then. I felt like an idiot falling for her act, but Gavin's report and a building list of other suspicions I had about the woman made the truth abundantly clear she is and always was our Lilith. I just thought she might still be too weak from whatever spell she used to bind herself to her human form to be able to get one over on us, and that was my mistake, one I was now working to rectify.Winston and I stuck a deal, one that would kill him if he broke it. He got to get a little crazy out while Lilith was reminded of who was in charge, a reminder that I ruled hell and that her little games wouldn't work here, not anymore
