The Ever-Changing Future (Book 4)

The Beginning

There was the clicking of heels on the silent floor of Baalberith's home deep in hell. The doors to his room burst open and a black haired woman glared at Baalberith with her sharp green eyes.

"What are You doing here Demonica?" Baalberith questioned.

"You lied to me. Angie hasn't returned to heaven. She's still on earth!" Demonica growled.

"What would you have done if I made that apparent? You would have went after her and disobeyed me. Its only natural that I would lie."

Demonica was silent. "You have no right to keep me from Her. She is my sister,"

"It is for your own good that you can't see her," Baalberith responded.

In an instant, Demonica stood over Baalberith with her axe to his neck. "That is not for you to decide!" She shouted, her blood boiling in anger.

"Cleopatra, Are you challenging me?" Baalberith asked softly.

Demonica's eyes widened at the use of her real name.

"I am," Demonica whispered, narrowing her eyes again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The clicking of heels was heard again, this time over the sound of Demon roars and the clashing of metal against one another.

Demonica walked through the hall of Baalberith's home covered in another's blood. She knew that despite his injuries, Baalberith would still be alive and would hunt her down relentlessly but currently, she could care less.

Angie was precious to Demonica. She was a miracle, a child who should have never been born; Her younger sister.

Angie's real identity was Arsinoë, Cleopatra's half sister born of another mother. She was the youngest and despite her appearance of an innocent young girl, was a force to be reckoned with.

Demonica knew this well back then when she was known as Cleopatra. That was why she ordered for her sister's execution. She never guessed that the time Arsinoë spent in the temple of Artemis in Ephesus was not wasted.

Instead, Arsinoë spent her time within the temple becoming holy and was given a future placement in the heavenly court's as an Angel.

Demonica learned of this after her early death when she herself was given a future placement, hers being Hell.

It was ironic, really. Even in death, the two remained adversaries.

Despite this, Demonica couldn't help but wish that Perhaps the two could live on their own without demon or angel interference. Perhaps in another world.

Although Demonica knew it was a futile desire she couldn't help but desire it.

Before, Demonica had been assured that if Sytry became Demon king she and Angie could be reunited peacefully but now she knew this as false.

The only option left was...To Kill Angie once again.
