Episode 21: Matt! Matt! Matt! ᵃⁿᵈ ᴱᵈᵈ

Matt took a cigarette from the floor and blew a puff. The woman beside him coughed as she sat up to put on her clothes.

"Where's my bra?"

Matt tossed it to her and sat up. She caught it with her hands before putting it on.

"Thanks, Mung."

"It's Matt, you twit."

The woman smiled at him and slipped on her stockings.

"See you soon--?"

"Nela, you picked me up from hell, one of Asmodeus' daughters? I'm surprised you didn't recognize my face."

Nela slipped on her heels and kicked down the bottles of whiskey in front of her. She has features similar to Tom: perfectly tanned skin, light brown hair, but she was taller and slimmer. The most obvious difference that they had was that she had blue eyes and a pair of wings.

Matt slipped on his boxers and kissed her on the neck. She giggled before pushing him away.

"As much as I'd like to stay, I have to go back; my husband is probably dying in chastity. Not to mention that there are changes now that Asmodeus is 'dead' for real. "

"You're not bothered at all?"

"We're not that close; he usually isolated him in the library; it was nice of him to help me find a husband, but that's about it."

Matt drowned the cigarette in a glass of whiskey before putting on his pants.

"It was terrifying when I saw his headless body on the news; he was a good man, but I couldn't care less."

Nela finished reapplying her lipstick, she closed her compact mirror and faced Matt.

"Anyway, Lilith's in charge of several regions in hell; she's my mother but, we need a king, so stop screwing around and get to it."

Matt rolled his eyes and dragged her out; he grabbed his keys and left the bedroom. His phone started vibrating against his leg. He looked at the caller and ignored it.

Nela sat behind Matt and wrapped her arms around him as he started the engine. They soon left the extravagant abode Matt has and unto the uneven roads leading to the highway.

The scenery soon turned into a blur as Matt started speeding up; the road suddenly got lower and lower. The temperature soon got hotter as hot air blew on their faces; the big metal gates of hell opened upon their arrival.

The motorcycle then abruptly stops. Nela removed herself from Matt and stretched her arms.

A cloud of darkness surrounded Matt; sharp talons clawed underneath his skin, the claws dragged him into the cumulus. He then appeared in front of the throne.

"As much as I like having control, I want it to be clean and not driven by sympathy; Asmodeus finally died, he must have given you his ring."

Matt showed his hands; Lilith crossed her arms and slumped in her seat.

"I assume Tom's still alive then; how are you two? The demons are looking for you two to lead."

"He's in love with someone else at the moment."

"And how long would they be in love? The demons want to see you two come back asap, enough twiddling with that suicide mission."

Matt pursed his lips; he avoided Lilith's gaze and put his head down. Lilith removed a ring from her finger and kissed it before giving it to Matt.

"Take the form of whoever that person and trick Tom at the right time."

"I don't need to; I have a cherub making a love arrow for me."
