If you've seen a typical scary hellish plot, this one shouldn't be hard to describe. Lava came down the sides of homes and gnarly creatures ran around causing mischief. We had driven for hours. Things had had gotten so upsetting, Daniel took a blind and pulled it down his window.

" Pull the blind. They'll be more likely to attack if they can't see who's there." He whispered. Daniel pulled it and it rolled up. Nobody questioned him. We just did as told.

By nightfall, we approached an enormous estate. There was a swimming  pool of magma, The size of 2 football feilds. With only 1 path throught the both of them. Narrow enough for us to drive, but looked weak and ready to break.

I saw the indifference on Joshua's face. The car jerked and at full speed, we were at the other side. In contrast, he very slowly parked on the green and black grass. He opened the driver's door and stepped out. The sky was a sort of wicked purple that I had no other choice but look away. It was frieghtening as Joshua stood there and did not move for an entire 5 mins. I wanted to call out, but he turned to me and came to open my seat. He let everyone else out as well and. We stood, and Joshua only spoke few times.

" He wants you to lead the way. When we walk in, to the left is a grand staircase. We walk up to the final landing and enter the door at the end of the hallway." He whispered. I froze at his words. I didn't have anything against satan personally. But when I heard he had died by Satan's hand, It became of my agenda to make him suffer. I did want to just tell him off... But that didn't seem rational, confronting lord of the dead and all. I could do something to hurt him, but he would probably see it coming. Everyone's eyes were on me. But I looked nobody in the eye. I pushed foward and walked into the estate. I expected it to be all black and charred... But it was extremely lavish. Red plush and sofas that were gold plated and worth more than my existence. I looked up at the staircase that was only 3 stories high. I made no sound and touched nothing. I moved up quickly, as not to hold up anybody behind me. I moved quickly and soundlessly. I felt a drowning sense of impending doom. The hall was lengthy, but I made it to the door.

" Come in." A voice like silk and sweets answered. I hesitated to open the door, but did. I opened it and was absolutely in shock.

" Welcome." He chuckled. We filed into the room.

" Sit, please, I've been waiting to meet you and the family for some time. Let's talk." He said fondly. We sat stiffly. The room was decked in silver ornaments and had furniture only crafted by the absolute best carpenters.

" Hello everyone. I get the feeling everyone here knows me, so, I'll skip the formalities." Still nobody spoke.

" That meant introduce yourselves, of course."

" Hi, I'm Teagan." My mom whispered from my left.

" Hello. I'm Carter."

" Hi I'm Joshua." He whispered.

" I'm Daniel." My brother murmured. I was waiting until the next person would go until I noticed everyone was looking at me

" You're turn."

" OH! I'm Cassandra. Hi." I whispered softly.

" Okay. Well, in that case, I simply wanted to evaluate your levels of destructiveness. It wouldn't matter anyway though."

" Why?" Daniel asked.

" Why? Because I killed your father and if you pose a threat to my realm I would have to neutralize you." He murmured kindly. As if he hadn't said anything controversial. I put my hand on top of Carter's. His face was almost invisible until he looked at me.

" It's okay." I whispered.

" It's not okay." He whispered.

" So, look. Your father... Has a soul. And I possess it. He is quite dead. But all of his things and his property are intact. But... I needed an excuse to draw you all here. I wanted to know more about the forbidden twins. You've been in my realm for so long yet getting to meet you took more energy than normally necessary.

" I really wanted to get to know you all. Teagan. I heard about your second pregnancy here. Of course before I killed Your husband, he and your maids helped you deliver. Was it a harsh one?"

" It was, actually. The first time I had his children wasn't as hard. He would say it was because I hadn't been pregnant in so long. But... I'm well and so is Daniel."

" I applaud you. I was actually there when he wanted you to run away with him. At first, I thought him a fool, but, he chose right."

" T-thank you." She softly choked out. It was so hard for her.

" Joshua. Thank you, firstly, for coming sooner than expected. Usually some take days to come, or never show at all."

" You're welcome."

" You're betrothed to dear Cassandra here, right?"

" Yes. I asked her father for her hand and graciously she accepted it."

" I know. She is quite lovely. Very feminine, yet still perfectly preserves her father's features. And also... A lust demon." He murmured. His quick look not only made me shiver but... Something about it aroused me.

" ... A succubus?" He asked in shock.

" Not a sex demon. A lust demon. A lust demon can lust for anything. She just happens to be satisfied by sex. Some lust demons are satisfied by sacrifice and some are satisfied by blood. Usually gory things. She's a newer category. Not a succubus and not a common lust demon. Nonetheless, she has morals. Which makes her incredible. She has a soul, like her father and that is a very strange occurrence."

" Yes. It makes me love her all the more." He whispered.

" Carter." He sighed. Carter looked up at him.

" Could I say this without offending you? You irritate me. But, you cause me no trouble. You're extremely unpredictable. How is it going with your relation  with my daughter?" Everyone sat up and looked at Carter in absolute shock.

" You didn't tell me?" I almost cried to him.

" I didn't want to mess anything up, so I decided to keep my relationship as inconspicuous as possible."

" I did not know at first she was your daughter. Had I known from the begining, I would have disregarded her completely. I wouldn't have even tried to make anything work. But... I love her now, and there's really no going back. I made a promise to her that unless without your consent of course is invalid."

"... Her hand, was it not?"

" Yes."

" I will make myself clear. You... You can see my daughter. Because I see that every now and than, she is happy. But you are not to marry her.

" She must produce pure demon children, not hybrids. I permit the two of you to see each other, but the thought of a child or such a permanent bond would be a disgrace to my lineage and my legacy."

" Daddy... I can't believe that's what you care about most." A girl whispered. She wore all black denim and a white shirt. She had platinum blonde hair like her father and translucent irises. Her father gave her a look and she stepped back into her place. I hadn't noticed her at first, but she had always been there. Her head was hung low and her head covered with a black hood. I looked at Carter, Who seemed compelled to look in her direction.

" Anyway... Cassandra... How have you been, hmm?" I thought about the question. When I thought the answer, I felt very inclined to share. Which wasn't good at all. I was scared.

" It's okay. Tell me."

" I'm holding up as best as I can. But... Because of my issue... I don't want to always beg Joshua to bed me, so I just stay aroused for however long until it goes away. It hurts so bad when I don't have him." I murmured. I couldn't believe I had actually said that to a man I so secretly hated. He whistled loudly.

" Sorry. That was my bad. I just wanted to know what was in there since your head is kind of private. But gracious, if that's not even a fraction of what you were thinking, I'll leave your thoughts to yourself." I slumped back down, blushing hard and leaving my thoughts to myself as he said.

" How does your father's death affect you?"

" At first, I simply loved hell. Once you killed him, you made things quite personal."

" How so?"

" Naturally I wanted vengeance... but I realized... that would put everyone at risk. So like us all, I must live with it." He seemed to be put off by my answer. He nodded slowly and than looked me in the eyes. 

" Interesting," he whispered, looking at me in a feral way.
