Chapter 49

As I left the house and made my way onto the street. I could hear screaming. Terror filled screams and the scent of pure fear, mixed with blood alcohol, and sweat had my mouth watering and the burning in my stomach becoming unbearable. Uncontrollably I followed the noise. Pain rippled across my face, and I ducked into some nearby trees. It felt like my face was being ripped away. Then my lips stung as my teeth extended and dug into the bottom lip. I could taste blood. My senses went into overdrive. Without thinking I snatched a girl that was running by and pulled her into the trees.
“Eliyah, thank god. Something….” she trailed off when she saw my teeth.
“Eliyah what is wrong with you?” she asked with big wide baby blue eyes.
“Oh Victoria. I’ve been waiting for this day. I am going to do to you worse than I did to your poor old father. Or should I say monster of a father. Sheriff Robert.”
Victoria screamed, an ear-splitting sound and I clamped my hand over her mouth and pulled her back against my front before digging my fangs into her neck.

“Witches? Are you sure they were witches?” running my hand through my hair I looked at my men. They were supposed to kidnap Lily. Instead, they come with some nonsense news about witches.
“Yes sir. They too want the girl. Lily.” Anger flared inside me and letting out a deep breath I grabbed the idiot Tony by the scruff of his shirt.
“Then get her first!” I yelled in his face, so angry that spittle left my mouth.
“Yes…sir…we …erm will… do our best.” He stuttered back.
“You will do what I ask!” I roared back at him, and he spun on heels nearly falling in the process of trying to escape my wrath.
Marching down to the basement I nearly pulled the door from its hinges. My footfalls echoed loudly, and I could hear tiny whimpers as I marched down the cells until I came to one, I hated the most. Mrs. Oakley. She had better have an answer for me this time or she will see her maker. The old woman was defiantly a coffin dodger. But not tonight if she doesn’t give me the information that I seek.
As I got to her cell, I noticed that the cell next to her was open. My heart sank. That cell housed the most dangerous one of them all. Lilith. How in gods name did she escape? That’s when I saw it on the floor was blood. That dam son of mine had been down here and the idiot had allowed her to feed and get free.
“It wasn’t Kingsley, Simon. Rather Eliyah.” I snapped my head to the old bat who looked back at me with a grave expression.
“Hell will soon rise. The gates will open.” She sang at me.
“Fuck the gates. Why do the witches want Lilly?” I demand of her.
“The same reason as you and every other supernatural creature. Power.” The smart ass was really wearing my patience thin.
“The girl is special I know that. But what I don’t know is why?” I needed to know what was so special about this girl.
“She is the daughter of Lilith and Lucifer. You see she is the first offspring to ever be created.” Mrs. Oakley stated matter of factly.
“That can’t be. She’s just a teenager.”
“True. But you see. Lilith new that Lucifer would use the child for his own gain. But there was something that Lilith wanted. She wanted the curse of death lifted from her that God had placed on her. So, she made a deal. She would live with Lucifer and rule hell beside him. If he in return would rid her of her curse. But you see. Not even Lucifer the arch angel Samuel had that kind of power to override God. He tried to fool her. He gave her a ring that stopped the urges and made her feel more human again. But she wasn’t human. When Lilly was born, she showed an awful lot of power. As a baby she would manipulate those around her. Use their desires against them. Burn those that didn’t bend to her will. Lucifer knew she was the one that could set him free from the jail of hell his father had placed him in. He just had to wait until her eighteenth birthday when her power would fully mature. Being the daughter of Darkness and the child of night, her power would be at its strongest on the full moon of her eighteenth birthday. Lilith didn’t get what she wanted out of the deal. She had been tricked. So, she took the child and ran. But Lilith had no intension of being a mom. The child was just a barging chip to her. So, she transported herself and the child into the future. She thought that in thousand’s even millions of years’ time Lucifer would forget about Lilly. But he never did. He tried to create another child as powerful. But failed many times. Now he has found her and will rise again. The witches will stop at nothing to gain her power and overthrow Lucifer. They have been waiting many years to do so. And you Simon are a fool if you think that you can kill Lucifer and become the new lord of hell. You are nothing but a man.”

I stood there; I am sure my mouth had hit the floor. I knew she was what I was looking for. The one that could open the door to hell. But the rest. I had no idea.
Goldpeak in ancient times was known as the mouth to hell. The place in which Lucifer had been banished from. He knew that the door to hell could only be opened from the spot in which it had first ever been created.
But now he knew the full story he could use the girl. Open the door and take over hell. He would become the king of darkness. Just like his father and his father before him had always wanted to be.

Mrs. Oakley pulled a sliver chain from around her neck. She opened the locket and retrieved a little vial. No bigger than a little fingernail.
“What is that?” I asked her still trying to let all this newfound information sink in.
“The blood of my father, mixed with wolfs bane.” She smiled.
“Your father?” I asked now curious.
“Yes Simon, my father is Lucifer.” Before my very eyes she transformed into a young beautiful woman with golden blond hair and the bluest eyes I had ever seen.
“Nothing is ever set in the stars. There is always a loophole. Even for someone like me. Clea, the second daughter of Lucifer. My time as now come to an end. You see. I know what happens next and I don’t want to be around when it happens.” With that she opened the lid of the vial and put it to her bright red lips. Within seconds she was dead. I couldn’t mover. My feet were cemented to the ground. All this time I had one of Lucifers offspring and I didn’t know.
