Outside Hell (20 page)

It was his own fault though
that she’d escaped him this time, and he
’d
know
n
it
too
. He’d
held back from rushing in to greet her when she’d arrived, and told
his demons to
scream for a few minutes but
not
to advance into the main room. He’d wanted to confuse her and then
at the last moment after she’d seen fireballs consuming the
passageway and heard his demons getting closer,
his plan was, that
they’d all rush inside and grab her.

Satan was aware though that
she wouldn’t have been his queen instantly because first he’d
have
to
have
given her a few years
suffering
,
and then afterwards
he’
d
have brought her to his side. His reasoning was
that if he’d have given her an immediate free pass to avoid the
cells, his demons might have thought
that
he was weak.
No, she’d do a thousand years burning in chains and then he’d
propose to her, making her his queen. If any demon
afterwards
had then
dared to even
show the
slightest
of
negative thoughts
towards him because
of it
, he’d have
the bastard
vaporized
from existence
. She’d respect him
more for it too, and then after being released
and
because of it, she
’d learn her place and would
n’t challenge his ruling either.

Only now
he’d thought
that
for hiding from him she’d spend an
eternity in hell and he’d never have her by his side regardless of
how sexy she was.

Then as Satan had stood
there in hells entrance room with the remains of the fireball that
he’d swallowed down the wrong hole after noticing
that
she’
d escaped, suddenly being
burped up and the
stench
from it making even
him step back from it
, he’d demanded that
she was found.

In response the cloud of
demons then raced across to him but one of them had
taken
the lead and approached him wearily, before
asking
him
if he hadn’t somehow made a
mistake. The demon
reasoned his bold statement by saying
that if she’d
truly
died
then
she would be there
like all the souls,
and
that
there was no way she could
escape the room either. He
’d
then said that outside
the winged demons would have seen too and
he’d already checked with them
and
they hadn’t
seen her at all
.
The
demon
who
was stuttering at this stage seeing Satan’s veins growing larger
and larger had
then questioned if maybe
the angels had
in fact
swooped down for her as
her
good
soul had been masked by their
evil after she was bitten and turned into a vampire. They might
have realized that she should be in Heaven and
then come down and
saved her.

Satan
had listened and then
in response to its blackness floating in front of
him and its questioning whether
or not
he’
d
actually got his facts right,
it
had
made him
almost
swallow his
own
tongue
. Then as
the
rage had taken over
and
without
deliberating over it, he’d grabbed the demon and with wild fury
coursing through him,
he’d
ran it back
extremely hard into the rock wall just beneath the air vent. The
demon with its shrill scream
had
begged
that
he forgive him only Satan wasn’t about
forgiveness just ask the souls that one, no he was about evil and
rage
fury
and revenge
. The prince of darkness
squeezed the demon
so hard
until it
suddenly
exploded into tiny fragments of blackness, that
after a moment passing the pieces had simply floated down like
blackened snow flakes and disappeared into the lava that was
beneath him.

Then turning around
he’d
furiously
stormed
towards the other demons that in response to him coming at them
like a missile, shit themselves and simply scattered in all
directions as if a group of pigeons had just been startled by a cat
or something.

The eight feet tall red
hunk of evil muscle with his lashing tail and pitchfork in his hand
that the demons
had pondered over and
never quite
figured out why he had it
unless before they’d met him that he was a
gardener in Heaven or something,
then
walked out through the gap in the rock wall to the
nothingness
hoping that he’d
find her himself.

Then once outside and
after
turning around with more granite rocks hurtling down towards him,
he’d crouched down and tried to look under hell for
her
, but
when he’d seen nothing he’d then tried to study
the rock
that she’d come down into hell on,
just in case there was
any
signs of angel
activity. Still nothing he’d craned his neck back and then
addressed on
e
of his winged demons that was
flying above him.

The winged demons were huge
with ribbed veins and pale skin just like his other creations the
vampires, plus they’
d
hideous faces like his own ugly
mug, or Rex even from the white coven. All
that
these
massive creatures
ever
did was
to
fly
around hell watching for the slightest chance that one day there
might be an intruder, and making sure that hell was defended
and
in turn
that
no souls ever escaped too.

In response to his questioning they’d
screamed back down at him in their deathly voices that they’d not
seen her, and then dived down underneath hell looking for her.

Satan
was
even more furious now and then
with his anger he’d
stormed back into hell through the gap in the wall and after
walking back over to where he’d
just
vaporized
the demon, he’d roared at the
other
demons that were
huddled waiting for new souls, and told them to
forget the souls and to
go and join the hunt for her too.

Then as
second
had
past a new thought
had
entered his evil
mind, one that
had
only enraged him
even
further. He was thinking about Dracus and
Regina’s husband, plus the scientist who’d escaped him in Paris
too. Since he’
d
been
thrown out of Heaven and then
banished to this fiery place, no one had ever escaped him. It was
his own dark evil that had cursed the arrows
that
Dracus had fired into him in Paris, and like a fool he’d not
protected himself from their cursed evil either. Then whilst
succumbing to the evil, the bowman and his crew of friends had
managed to escape
him
, only he’d have caught them if
that fucking angel hadn’t shown up with the key to the bottomless
pit.
Now he’d a soul missing and the
recent memory of vampires he’d create
d
also escaping
him and his demons had witnessed it too.

These thoughts then churned around in his twisted brain and
with the answers still very much eluding him they’d
sent him into a dark place that he’d never been
before. Satan was furious beyond all levels of fury, his anger was
metastasizing into something that by its very nature was
threatening to not only consume him, but all of hell and the
surrounding rocky terrain too. This bitch Regina had to be found
and now.

Then suddenly from behind
the prince of darkness and keeping a clear distance from him, a
demon had floated up to him and told him even more bad news.
The demon said that his number one vampire Rex,
the one who’d ordered Christ’s death had been killed, and that the
person who’d done it was Dracus.

Satan
literally and
in response to hearing it the
n
dropped to his knees, immediately sticking his hands either
side of his head and screamed. He couldn’t believe it, that little
bastard Dracus
had
not only escaped him in Paris
but now he was clearly taking the piss too. To have the gaul
and
the
damn
temerity to kill his number one
vampire, was the fucker insane? Dracus couldn’t defeat him and for
sure he’d catch him soon, so why was he taunting him so. He’d
thought.

Satan
then
feeling that he was beginning to succumb to his own evil and
needing to expel massive amounts of rage had spun around and with
his bloodshot eyes threatening his own demise,
he’d
grabbed the demon and simply vaporized him with a fireball.
Then as the black ashes
had
floated down to the
floor all around him, the prince of darkness
suddenly
stormed off into the first cell and blasted the souls that
were already
in suffering with
tormentous
levels of sadness,
with intense
fireballs
to
increase their pain
.

Then as a
moment
had
past another demon
had
approached
him but
this
time it had
kept about forty feet from him
too. Satan looked at it as if the distance was provoking him, so
the demon slowly and not wishing to provoke his master then
cautiously floated closer.

The news he had for him was good though and
he’d felt sure that Satan wouldn’t be angry hearing it.

The demon told him that
Dracus had been found. Their scouts in the shadows had felt his
energy and seen the portal flying through space. It
had journeyed from
The Tower of London and then
appeared in
the Carpathian Mountains
of Romania,
high up on a
peak.

Satan
and
in
response
whilst rubbing his fiery hands together briskly and
with a devilishly evil gleam in his eye,
grinned.
Ok Regina was somewhere in hell
but for now he’d let her burn wherever she was hiding, because
first he’d more important business to attend too.

Then turning around to every demon that was
there which amounted to thousands with their flaming whips, he’d
screamed at them to go and get this little bastard Dracus, and
bring his soul down to him.

Only after they’d
disappeared and with how cunning Dracus
had
seemed
to be at escaping with his portals, he’
d
doubted if
they
’d
be successful.

Satan had to have the bowman’s soul, so with
the rage inside growing again and the fires from the inferno’s that
were spiraling up his arms now licking his face, the evil bastard
disappeared and headed up to Romania with his demons too.

The chopper pilots were
relaying
their
info back to their base in
Hungary of how the mission to kidnap the vampires had been a
complete success, with one team of soldiers aboard and a cage
hanging
underneath
by a cable that was
full of vampires. Then as they’d just cleared the first set of pine
trees
away
from the shack
, suddenly they’d felt a
massive thud in the side of the chopper and
apart from the deeply ominous
creaking of metal sound like a submarine plummeting down further
than it should really go,
the instruments
panel in front of them had gone crazy.

Instantly and with major issues to hand,
the pilots
had
desperately fought
with the controls as the chopper had swung around violently in the
air. The pressure gauges were increasing then decreasing, the fuel
gauge
s
were
increasing
and
then
decreasing, and all manor of
other
weird shit was
happening
too
.
Dark black
smoke was pouring up from behind the instrument panel and the
engine
had
started spluttering
with intense
vibrations racking themselves through the
bodywork
.
