I held her close to me as she slept in my arms through the day, she must be very tired. I held her to feel her warmth, I started to close my eyes until Edge nudge me. I woke up looking at him to see him having his head lowered, I blinked a couple times. "It's almost time." I ignored him as I held her protectively. I haven't been with her much lately and it's killing me. The Sins are going to be the death of me. Why would the Dull let them out? I felt her stir as she came closer to me, I remember when she was little that she would just be full of energy. I looked down at her to see someone completely different. Not the same Faith and I wish I could see her grow. To improve, to watch her and be there, but I wasn't. I only see her once a year and ever since then I stuck with her.

She stole the Devil's heart. I smiled at the thought, my little girl is gone. I have someone better, a true warrior. A great person. "You are totally whipped, your making that smile where you find her so amazing in every way." I gave him a stare as he backed off. "just saying."

"Shut your mouth." I scolded. I sighed as I watched as Edge jumped onto the couch having his head placed on her, his eyes (even though its darker than the sky) show sadness and fear. Not for me but for her, fear of the Sins, her safety. With my hand I placed a hand on his head, "It will be alright Eggy, it will be alright. I won't let anything happened." I told him.

He looked up at me with shock but I just looked away, "You called me...."

"Sleep now." I told him as he just nod his head, I sighed as I have two devilish children sleeping. People are scared of the Devil, but what frightens me more is the safety of the people. I might be self-centered but the Sins will have to bring people down to Hell, and to be honest I am too damn occupied to deal with them. The better I get them the better that God will lay off my back. The Traitor is taken care of and we are a step closer to get all them. I sighed as I closed my eyes feeling the warmth once again. It's almost time for me to leave, to disappear into the night live every year.

For I am the Devil, by day and night, but throughout the year I am just a bad nightmare. I sighed as I held tighter feeling my body losing their grip. I will be alone again. I opened my eyes to see that I on my bed having empty arms, when will this end? My curse is to wait, to understand. The curse of the souls I have dragged down with me. I could hear them screaming, wanting, lusting for Faith. I listened as they clawed to the side of my head, they want, they are a form of Greed, Lust, Pride, and everything. I looked away but how can I when they are in my head.

Furious that I cannot hold her forever, she will be my Angel of Hell. She will rule by my side, for all eternity. I would love that, to have her with me forever. I got up as I headed out the door, there is work to be done.

A month past as I held a chain that is latched around my two pets, introducing Greed! And the guest Pride! I laughed as I tugged the metal leashes, they crawled beside me bowing their head. I walked down the hall as the demons clawed at their side, punishment... torture by the Demons. My pets. They didn't scream but they were getting bit, clawed, scratched, taunted. I walked through my throne, heading for the arena. They all gathered there. "Traitor!" "Fucker!" "Disgusting!" "Sinners!" Everyone chanted. I walked over the entrance were the mafia leaders, and all the leaders who created chaos was tied up like they are the walls. The demons around seated and perched cheered while I tied them up to the pole. A dull came with a velvet case and opened it slowly, revealing a golden whip. I picked it up as I kissed the handle and everyone cheered.

I looked at the two, who I created out of spite. Sons. Must be punished for what they have done, they have forgotten. Time to re-teach them their manners. I unrolled the whip as I struck at them, and the sound of the tip hitting the skin made me shiver in delight. My demons started to cheer as I grinned I continued to whip them as they screamed in pain. Their backs torn and bleeding, soon they grew tired to I stop. I held out my hand to silence the crowd. "Bring me the Alcohol," so did a Dull did. They bowed their heads as they walked back when I grab the bottle. I walked over to Pride as they looked up at me with their pleading eyes. I untied them as I tossed them onto the dirt. I uncapped the bottle as I smelled the rich potent smell. "Disgusting," I whispered as I poured it down it's back, they screamed. I watched as they cried into the dirt, I snapped my fingers.

"Please Father, no, please." Greed beg trying to get away but week, I did the same as they screamed in agony.

"Get them a towel, wipe it away." I told a Dull.

"As you wish Master." They walked away and came back with towel bending down and cleaning them, I watched as I leaned back as behind me a chair appeared. I watched as they grow pale and green. Hell where you can't die but can feel pain and see your worst fears in this place. I watched them as they stopped bleeding but they can clearly show the marks. They lay still. They were chained up again while they hand me the metal leash. I tugged on the metal making me sit up showing their backs at me.

"Tell us where to find the rest?" I asked with a small tug. Greed leaned forward and threw up, I waited until Pride gurgle doing so as well.

I waited as Pride slammed onto the dirt, I tugged while they sat up. "Lust she's in Vegas last time I saw," Pride swallowed well his pride he tightened his hand into a fist.

"I saw Wrath at a Brazil." He spoke softly.

"I can't hear you." I spoke as the Demons leaned forward. He took a glance as he closed his eyes.

"I saw Wrath at Brazil Father." He spoke loudly this time, I smiled.

"Good boy." I tugged onto the leash making them come near me. "You hear them! Find them!" They all took off as I walked with the metal leash in my hands. I looked down to see them dragging themselves on their knees. I smiled as I tugged making them crawl a little faster. This is what they want and so this is what they get. I smiled at the thought. To protect my little Angel. The future Queen.

Some time pass and I sit at my throne where the two sins kneeled beside their king. I watched as my court of Demons kneeled, black as charcoal, eyes of the soul, scary to mind. My precious demons of mine. I waited as one of them spoke, "My lord, the future Queen is safe. We have located Lust,"

"Then why are you here?" I asked leaning onto my palm twirling my palm.

"Shall we bring her?" I gave them a stare, "Of course my lord." They tap the ground and she appeared above the ground wearing gold lingerie, I stared at her as her back was face me.

"Get off of me, I was having a good time until you fuckers came! Ugh. Wait a minute." I waited as she turned around and froze. "Lord, father."

I stared at her as she shrunk back. I stood up as the two Sins near my throne shrunk back. "Hello Sin."

She shrunk back but couldn't due to the fact she was tied up, "Greed, Pride! What have you done to my Brothers!" She screamed. I looked back at them as I smiled, feeling happiness to see them kneel and obeying.

"What I should of done long ago," I told her as I snapped my fingers, they crawled near to my side, "Obedient servants to their Lord." I patted their head.

She then pushed forward to kneel down to her brothers. "Pride? Greed?"

"They won't reply to a wrench." I told her, "Boys near my throne."

In unison, "Yes my Lord," They crawled up the stairs as they kneeled beside my throne, I saw the terror on the Sins face.

"Do you know what I have done to them?" I asked Lust as I lifted her chin to face me, looking right into my eyes, she shook her head; so I smiled widely. "I made them obey, I whipped, had them raped, I had them abused to the bone. They know who they obey." I told her. I she turned away, "You would be the same as your Brothers." I warned.

She looked at me in fear, "Please, no. I won't do it again." She begged.

I turned to look at her but I just smiled, "Oh no, I will make you into the perfect slave."

She was dragged away as I just smiled. I turned to face the throne to see the boys kneeling beside it, it's time for a play date.

Months later I walked into a room where Lust was tied to the wall, ragged and bruised. Her eyes looked at me as she put her head down, I walked over to her as I stroke her face father like. She cried. "Did you have fun?" I asked. She shook her head, but no reply. "Did you learn you lesson?" I asked as I took a step back. Once again nothing came from her tainted lips. I narrowed my eyes, "Are you ready to tell me why I found you at her room?" I leaned back as a chair formed behind me.

Her eyes looked at me, "I doubted you my lord, my Father." She spoke.

I tilt my head, "Doubted me is something you should never do, shit I was so young and naïve I wish I never created you." It told her as she flinched at my words.

"I'm sorry Father." She apologized, "I should never entered the Queens room," she spoke. I leaned back as I snapped my fingers, a Dull appeared with a drink in hand with a sliver trey. I took it as I sipped it slowly, watching her then placed it back on the silver platter. I shooed them away as they backed away with a bow.

"Now tell me, who do you serve?"

She looked down as she spoke softly, in a voice of Dull, a sigh of a demon; "You my Lord and the Future Queen, Father." She told me.

I smiled, "Very good, very good. I am so proud that you know that." I praised her, she nod her head. "Boys, come in." and so they did, walking in on their hands and knees, "Give her a time of her life."

I smiled as they spoke in a dead unison voice, "Yes Father." I walked out of the room as I closed the door behind me, I could hear her scream. It's a horrible thing to do for a woman, so I pity the girl. But she put herself in risk, she put my Angel at risk. She has cursed us all. So the pity was short but now I have to find the rest of the deadly sins. I walked away from her screams of help and her cries. I just had to turn the other way and continue my path. Hell isn't for the nice, it's for the meanest, the bad, and worst of them all. I am all yet I don't feel guilty who comes here, only pleasure. I walked towards my room, I know that they are staring. I looked down to see Edge staring up at me, almost with hatred.

"You know Faith wouldn't like what you have done with Lust." He informed.

I looked down at him, with a frown, "I know but it has to be done." I told him.

He huffed as he run towards my room while I just walked behind him, such a dog he is. When I closed the door behind me I saw him up on the corner of the wall with his tail into the shadows. I do not question it for I am use to it. He groaned, Edge soon did come down from the wall when I started to take off my jacket. "I came to report that they lost Wrath, he caught on." He informed. I turned my head towards him as I sighed.

I sighed as I looked at the mirror, "Faith," I spoke and there I saw her, she was sleeping. Of course it's night for her, I watched as she gently sleeps. "She's safe."
