Hide And Seek With The Devil

~Chapter IX~

Sue would only stand up and let out a sigh. "And I thought we were friends " He said in a joking manner, he obviously wouldn't call anyone a friend. After that he would walk away, heading to his house to inform Dorothy about the whole thing.

The house was silent as always, the rooms empty except the girl's one. Her eyes were closed while she was laying there on her bed and breathing steadily. Her hands slowly moved on her torso to rest and let out a sigh. She didn't know what was going on in her own house. Everyone she saw in there was making her feel too uncomfortable except Sue, yet he seemed to be too calm around them. A sudden knock was heard on the door. Her eyes opened and looked to the side before telling to whoever was behind to come in.

"Hello, princess. . " Sue's voice heard in the distance and she looked at her before walking towards the bed. "My apologies for pushing you away earlier. . I don't want these two around you" He said and sat down.

"It's okay. . So. . . What do you want? " She murmured silently, curling up and hugging her pillow.

"Look, I will have to go to a job of mine tonight so you can go out if you want. . I mean you have to still be careful but-"

"What if I want to come with you? "

"I will not allow this. It's something that I should be alone, okay? " Even if she had her doubts and thoughts to tell her to say no and stay with him, she couldn't disagree with him. A silent huff was exhaled and she rolled her eyes. "Fine. . I'll go dress up" It was evening and the night started to come, yet she would love to go out, walk at the cold streets. Sue, on the other hand, have her a small smile and nodded before standing up and walking away.

The minutes passed by and once he sensed that no one was at home a silent hum of some words that someone would say that seemed like a spell. Six colors appeared on the wooden floor and his eyes opened to look straight at the people that started to take form from these colors.

    Red, the princess of wrath, Ai's eyes were closed as she walked to the couch to take a seat and lay on its back.
    Yellow, the prince of greed, Damien slowly walked by the side of an other glimpse of violet/purple light. There, appeared Priscilla, princess of pride and hell. Her purple lips slowly curled to a smile as Damien's arm tenderly crawled around her waist, guiding to sit on a soft dark purple chair Sue had close to his desk. As for Damien, he was a tall man with light blue eyes and snow white hair that were fixed to fall gently on his forehead and a single one of them brushing his eyebrow. As it seemed something was going on between him and the princess of pride, yet no one was sure if they were together or not. Soon enough the other three arrived.
  The blue color owned by Edward, the prince of lust, as the blonde man stretched and waved as a gesture to Sue who would hiss in return if they were alone.
  As for green and light blue light, two fogy figures appeared to sit close to each other on the second brown couch of the room. A woman named Desirè and her lover Vacal on the other side. They were representing envy and sloth and they were still having some problems with their relationship since their glances seemed to be bothered. The woman's hair were black and grey matching perfectly with the same colored sclera and iris of her eyes. Only by that difference she was the only one demon who had these characteristics while being in a more human-like form.

"I still don't understand why we have to gather in my room instead of the palace, Priscilla..." Sue's voice finally broke the silence and continued while looking at the others "Welcome ~"

"We're there all the time... It gets boring~" Priscilla chuckled and looked up at him. Her glance fixed on the others after a while "So, I called you here only because Edward isn't the only one who wants to take Sue's place."
