Ozzie and B raises their hand to vote for a testimony for Blitz, and spotlights shine on them to signify their vote. Moxxie and Millie raise their own hand to vote as well, and they turned to Loona. Despite her annoyance, Loona rolls her eyes and raise her hand to make a vote for a testimony, spotlights shine on them as well.
"Who wants to kill this imp bastard and get home for lunch?".
In a one-sided majority vote, the whole jury raised their hand and the spotlights shine on every single one of them, voting to kill Blitz instead. B was so disappointed at everyone that she flips off the jury before sitting down with Ozzie, who is equally annoyed.
"You should've remained in your place, imp. You see, this is what happens when lesser demons try to step out of line." Chuckled the peacock.
"For the treacherous crime of stealing a Goetia's grimoire for illegal use, bringing harm to a Goetic prince, and accessing the mortal coil without clearance or procedure you, Blitzo, and your crew, are hereby sentenced...TO DEATH."
The verdict sent a knife-like pain through me that Selene wouldn't grow up without me or Loona in her life. None of them were going to listen to us. This trial was just a formality.
"NO! Not them, Your Highness! It was me, it was all me, okay? Y-you can't expect to teach anyone a lesson by killing all of us!".
"Very well I created imp-kind to be obedient, I see no reason to punish the dutiful. Just axe the mouthy one,
Do you have any final words? We'll pretend to care".
"All I was trying to do was rise above this stupid fucking place YOU ALL FORCED US INTO!".
"Sir...why?".
"This red bitch was never going to listen to us this way is better, it's better just me than all of us".
"Blitz..." I say.
"Adrian you have a family to think about your in charge now take care of them".
Blitz's chains force his neck onto a chopping block that appears in front of him and A wraith demon appears holding a gigantic Axe.
Everyone looks away except me I couldn't let him die alone. The demon raises it.
He looks over at us smiles and sheds a tear.
"I love you guys". The Axe comes down in a chopping sound like an explosion.
The dust clears to show Stolas has blocked the blade.
"What in LUCIFER'S HELL IS THIS?!".
Yells Satan.
"I'm about to explain everything". Says Stolas. Who explains in song everything that Blitz had been trying to explain for the last hour. As he explains the situation I see wraiths unshackle us and escort us roughly through the door we came in depositing us on the ground.
"ADRIAN!" cries Loona who scrambles over to me hugging me tightly crying into my shoulder. I held onto her like she was life itself.
"I love you I fucking love you". I sobbed.
"I love you too" her hands grabbed onto me her claws digging into my skin.
"Miilie? Moxxie?".
As I made my way to them the doors opened again and Blitz was tossed out and then shut behind him.
"AHH LET ME IN!". He punches the door. "Ow my supple wrist".
"Sir" says Moxxie.
"Dad" Loona and I say as we all hug each other.
"You're ok"
"Don't you ever do that again you fucking idiot".
We waited outside the courtroom still no word. Eventually the Doors open and the Wraiths deposit Stolas onto the ground, and retreat back inside.
"Stolas what happened in there?". I asked
"I've been banished".
"Banished?".
"My royal title and estate have been stripped from me for the next century".
A nearby janitor throws a half empty coffee cup at him hitting him in the head.
"You Suck Stolas".
"Motherfuck-".
"It's ok Blitz...I'm ok".
"You need a ride home?" I ask.
"I have no home...everything I have is gone..."
"Look, come with me, alright? Let's get you out of here, n' you'll need a place to stay".
As we made our way out the door Security stopped us and returned our personal belongings I secured my weapons to me and we went outside.
We take a cab back to the office to retrieve my car. As we drove through the streets, Imps across town hold up Banners for Blitz in his honor confetti rained down on us everywhere like a celebration. I called Mary telling her we were on our way home.
Upon our return to the parking area I give the driver enough money to take M&M and the rest home plus a tip.
As we get out of the cab we begin to make our way to our car-
"Hey, guys". Says Blitz. "Look it's been a long day for us all take the week off and wait for me to call you. Spend some time with each other and we'll go from there".
Loona reaches through the window hugging Blitz.
"I love you Dad".
"I love you too Looney, I'm so proud of you".
"I love you too Blitz". I say
"I meant what I said in there, I know you would have looked after everyone son".
"Let us know if you want to see us Mox" I say.
"Yeah I'll call tomorrow".
"Yeah see you soon champ". Says Millie.
We get into the car and we begin the drive home.
In no time we make it home parking in the Garage. As we make our way into the house Mary's waiting for us holding Selene in the Living room.
She was watching the news.
The account of the trial and the aftermath was on every channel.
"Oh thank Satan- oh sorry".
"Mary it's fine you can go if you want to I'll make sure you get your money in an hour".
"Yes sir". She transfers Selene's sleeping figure into my arms.
"She was no trouble" she says.
Heading for the door, Closing it behind her.
Selene is fast asleep in my arms but curls into my chest. Loona comes over and sandwiches her between us she looks at Selene gently stroking her head and cheek.
She looks at me her eyes awash with emotion and I know exactly what she's feeling. We both came close to death today and Selene almost became an orphan today. Loona's face screws up and she begins to cry. I let my tears loose too as I realized that the two most important women in my life were almost taken away from me. We both cry but quietly so we don't wake her we collapse to our knees holding our daughter and each other the setting sun sinking below the windowsill.....
