Lucifer's obsession

Demons tears

   "I have to go Mikey. Have fun at the party and good luck at whatever." I say and walk away. I tie my mask on before looking at Mikey who's looking at me with the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen. I turn to the door and walk in to see the party still going on as people lightly talk and kids run around with each other. I look out a window and the clock stands not too far from the castle as I read it's time.

   "It's already 11:53!" I say and look at it baffled. We were here for hours! It only felt like a couple of minutes. I walk over to the window as a demon with a tray of drinks walks by. I see he's in shackles and is deeply skinny so I assume he's a slave. I take a drink off the tray and sip it as a hand is placed on my shoulder. I swallow my drink and look over to see a tall dark figure tower over me. I smile as the man smiles looks back at me warmly.

   "How's death been John?" I say and he softly chuckles.

   "It's amazing. I came to ask you if I could have this dance." He says and I nod. I set my drink on a small empty table and take johns hand as he leads me to the center of the room. I look over to see Amon and a man dancing as she laughs and the other side of me was Afriel dancing with a man as she smiles as well. I look up at John who's looking down at me with kind eyes as the music starts.

   "So where's Sugar?" I say and he smiles warmly as he tilts his head behind me. I turn my head and see Sugar who's talking to Lucifer as he stares at me and John.

   "She wanted to talk to Lucifer about something. She found out I will have a job as someone who works with iron. Like making swords or armor." He says and I look back at John.

   "Are you happy?" I say and he spins me once reeling me back to his chest.

   "I couldn't be happier. I can't thank you enough for bringing my Sugar back. I feel alive when I'm around her even though I've been dead for years." He says and we both chuckle at his comment.

   "So how's death for you?" He says and I breath a laugh.

   "I'm not dead John. I'll let Sugar explain it to you. It gets kind of confusing if I do." I say and he nods. "But life is good. Me and Mikey went back to earth today and we hung out." I say and he sighs.

   "Why didn't you invite me!" He says sarcastically as we laugh.

   "You would leave Sugar by herself to hang with us when you just got her back?" I say dramatically and he thinks for a second by rolling his eyes up.

   "Good point. I'm glad you're okay." He says and suddenly the twelve o'clock bell chimes as it rings twelve times and everyone stops to see Lucifer still in his mask. He stands on the second floor of the ball between the two grand staircases as he takes off his mask. I suddenly hear a gasp by two of the girls Amon and Afriel as they push their dates away and say the lines.

   "Your not Lucifer you prick!" Amon says and pushed him away. I look over to see Afriel with the same expression.

   "Your not the king of Hell, liar!" She says and walks away and towards me. She doesn't notice me until she's a couple feet away and folds her arms.

   "Hmph!" She says and sticks her nose up. I look over to see Amon who is walking towards me and pushed me over almost hitting Afriel as she stands right where I was.

   "I don't know why you're hear. I told you you're a pathetic nothing. I am the demon of judgment I should know." She says and folds her arms as she looks down upon me with purple eyes. I hear a chuckle from Afriel and we both turn to her.

   "I mean you not wrong. I don't think she's even worth the king of hell's time. He wouldn't even take a second glance at her." She says and they both smile as they look down upon us. Suddenly Lucifer clears his throat and everyone's attention is brought to us.

   "I've gathered you all here tonight for I have a special occasion." He says and they all stay silent as we all look at him. A devilish smirk comes across his face as he continues.

   "I have found a queen to stand by my side in hell and to rise my empire with me!" He says and everyone starts to murmur with each other and the girls look at each other with an excited and happy glint in their eyes. Everyone looks around to see if they can see her and Lucifer suddenly extends his long black wings elegantly and sharply as he continues. He holds up a crown and I gasp. It's the crown from the night it fell out of the cauldron. So I was destined to be the queen after all?

   "It's so beautiful." Amon says and doesn't take her eyes off of it. She fixes a few strands of her braid and smiles.

   "Gentlemen would you care to please move out of the way and let the ladies in the middle of the ball room?" He says and the men scurry to the corners of the room as even young children stay in the circle. Suddenly I feel a tug on my dress and I look down with a small Simla.
