Amber's p.o.v.

"Your father was killed." after hearing my grandfather tell me this over the phone I froze. "H-he can't be dead. He's Satan for crying out loud....I dont beleive you." I said in utter disbelief. "Come see for yourself." He said. I hung up the phone shaking. I looked at Bryce and Daniel. I tried to speak but couldn't. No words would come out no matter how hard I tried. "Who was that?" Daniel asked. I finally was able to find my words to speak. "M-my grandfather...h-he says my father was j-just killed..." I said as I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. "Wait are you serious!?" Bryce said. I whipped away the tears and stood up. "I'm going to so see if it is true. There's no way he's telling the truth." I said. I looked at the boys. "There's a story they told us in training. It's about you and your family. You and your father are bonded together. When one dies the other will go through noticeable changes. Your brother and mother are the same way. They are bonded together." Bryce said. "That...would explain what just....." I studdered before he interrupted me. "Go. See your father. Make sure he is ok" I nodded and teleported to where my grandfather called me from. Once I appeared I noticed my father on the ground not moving. "FATHER!" I said running to him nealing to his side. I noticed he had a stab wound through his chest. I gasped and put my hand over it trying to concentrate my energy to heal him. But it failed. "Dad...can you hear me..." I said as tears formed in my eyes. Someone put their hand on my shoulder. I didn't bother looking up because I knew who it was. "He's gone Amber. There's nothing we can do." Grandfather said. I broke hearing those words. "Who." I managed to say as my sadness was being taken over by anger. "Hm?" He asked. "Who killed him" I asked feeling my hands become fists. "I don't know. I didn't get a good look at them. But I was able to tell they were an angel." He said. I punched the ground. He removed his hand from my shoulder. "We need to return back to Hell. You need to claim your place on the thrown. Without a ruler, Hell is vulnerable espessially during war" He said. I looked at him. "My father just died. Do you think I want to take his place literally moments after he passed!?" I snapped. He seemed to get angry at that. "This is a time of WAR! The demons need a leader fit to lead them into battle!" He said angrily. I growled and looked back at dad. "We're taking him back and having a funeral. Then I'll consider it." I said. "There's no considering. You must. You can not refuse." He said. "Fine!" I snapped. "Let's go." He said. I took father's still hand and teleported us back home. I looked around seeing that we were in the front foyer of the castle. "Go get my mother." I said not looking at grandfather. He walked away. I didnt let go of father's hand. "Please let this not be real...please still be alive father..." I cried quietly into his cold hand. I heard rapid footsteps come towards me. I looked behind me and see mother and Lucifer frozen in shock as they stare at father's lifeless body. "What happened!?" Mother said rushing to father's side to hold his head in her lap. "He was slain by an angle." Grandfather said walking over. "How? I thought we are immortal" Lucifer said still in shock. "We are. But there are still things that can kill us. Such as an Angelic blade. Crafted by the best blacksmithing angels. Gods can kill other gods. Angels can kill gods aswell, same as demons. There are many things you have yet to learn young prince. Which you will learn when you are old enough." Grandfather replied. Lucifer kneeled by my side. "What are we going to do now?" He asked looking over at mother and I. I heard grandfather get ready to say something but I quickly interrupted him before he said a word. "We are going to have a funeral for father. One fit for a King. That is what we are going to do before we do anything else. Right now the only important thing is him." I replied. "After we hold a funeral for your father you must be crowned queen of Hell as soon as possible" Grandfather added. I growled silently to where only Lucifer could hear. He looked at me with a concerned look. "Don't do it sis. This is not the time." He whispered to me. "Let's get going guys. We don't have all day." Grandfather impatiently said. I felt something inside of me snap as though someone were trying to sneak up on their prey but step on a very fragile twig alerting the prey. I looked at him with rage. "Since you want me to be the Queen so bad then I order you to get everything prepared for father's funeral. Lucifer, mother, and I will prepare father's body. Now go!" I said almost yelling at him. He just stared at me for a few seconds. "Very well then." He said as he walked away. I mother and Luci. They were a bit startled. "Let's prepare him for his funeral." I said calming myself down. They nodded and we carried him to his room. Lucifer went to grab towels, mother was preparing him for a bath, and I drew the bath. "Is the bath ready?" Mother asked. "Yeah." I replied getting up. I left the room so she can wash him.

Time skip

All the demons gathered for the service. Even my aunt's and uncles from Olympus joined us as we said goodbye. Grandfather convinced everyone to do the coronation tonight. I sat on my bedroom floor and zoned out. I had snapped back into reality once someone walked into the room. "I know everything is moving so fast. But things are only going to get harder from here." I heard my mother's voice say. "You're still queen though. You are still alive. Why do I have to become queen right now?" I said standing up. "Because you are your father's child. Since the moment you were conceived you were chosen to take over if anything were to happen to him. I know this is hard but you are strong. Your father is not dead. His spirit lives in us. No one is ever truly gone." She said. "I guess. Let's get this done and over with" I said heading towards the door. Lucifer was waiting in the hall. "Ready?" He asked. I nodded.
