The Summon of Love

31st October, 11:55 P.M.

The crimson moon bled across the sky like it was cosplaying a book cover. Luna barely noticed as she was finishing her dark romance novel.

She sighed as she closed the book and whispered, "I wish I had a demon boyfriend too." Her pet snake, Percy, had been snoozing in her hoodie pocket.

The candles in her room started to flicker suddenly as the red light enveloped her room in its bloody embrace. She was about to sit up when she saw something falling on top of her.

Her ring slipped from her finger and landed on something soft like feathers. Her brain barely processed the wings before the ring glowed.

A man with burning wings towered over her, shadows clawing at the walls. His voice cracked like thunder, "Do you have any idea what you've done?"

"We are bound now till death do us part!" the man yelled.

The red light shone again, and Luna gasped when the man picked her up in his arms and started to fly towards the sky.

"Wait! Who even are you, pretty boy?" Luna asked, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He was shocked by her casual behaviour.

"First and foremost, I am not some pretty boy. Secondly, I am Lucifer," he answered, with the tone that rumbles the halls of hell.

Luna's eyes widened as she smiled brightly and said, "OMG! It is such an honour to meet you, darling."

"Darling?" he asked, as if baffled by her reaction to his name. "I am the Prince of Hell, and stop smiling like that, child!" he continued, as he glared at her with rage.

She hopped out of his arms and waved at the skull-and-bone gates like it was an amusement park.

"I know you are the Prince of Hell, darling," she said as she walked past the confused guards standing by the gate.

"Wait! You cannot go in there," Lucifer replied, but it was too late. She walked inside the Hell Kingdom and into the meeting hall.

By the time Lucifer caught up, Luna was already kneeling before Satan's throne like she'd been rehearsing all her life. He was about to explain the situation, but Luna's next words stopped him mid-track.

"I, Luna Sterling, bow before the darkest lord in the realm and I pledge my loyalty to you," she said, with pure respect and honesty in her voice.

The hall fell silent under Satan's red gaze. He straightened, adjusting his crown of bone before shoving a violet-floral goblet behind his throne, to appear dreadful to the mortal.

Percy, the white pet snake of Luna, slithered out of Luna's pocket and made its way to Satan and bowed.

"How do you even have a snake in your pocket?" Lucifer asked, shaking his head again at the utterly strange sight in front of his eyes.

"You may rise," Satan ordered and Luna stood up.

"I am impressed by your act, child. Tell me what you want and I shall fulfil your wish," Satan said, as he took a long sip of wine.

Satan's voice rumbled like thunder. Demons cowered. Luna raised her hand like a kid in class. "Yeah, so, I'd like to marry your son, please."

The hall erupts in gasps, and Lucifer pleads through his expressions to his father not to give in to Luna's request.

"I'm sorry, my child, but I have already given my word to another girl for his marriage," Satan replies, handing Luna the letters.

"OMG! You got my letters?" Luna exclaimed with joy, and more whispers started in the hall.
