Chapter Two: Help Me Save Him
Elena's POV:
I stared at the words with my eyes wide and jaw open even after the words had faded away I couldn't get them out of my head.
Dark. Death. Devil.
They were just stories, stories told to children so they'd behaviour at least that's what Lohan told me when I was afraid of those three names. He used to tell me that they were just men. Men of legend, a camp fire story. Death was nothing to fear it was just a stage of life not a person. Dark was the opposite of light as long as you had a flashlight it couldn't hurt you. Devil was just a name given to a villain in a story they weren't real.
But Lohan isn't here to tell me they aren't real, he's not here to tell me this is just a silly child's story. They are real they have to be, the old ghost was right the answers I seek are those who you fear most. They haunted my children even since I learnt about them.
Dark; the king of demons and shadow. Death; the grim reaper, one of the four horseman. Devil; the fallen angel Lucifer, King Of Hell.
Why them?! Why the hell did I have to find them?! Why didn't the ghosts just tell me?! Hell I know the answer fuck! I'm screwed! How am I meant to find them! Last time I checked in the stories you had to be dead to meet Death, Evil and going to hell to meet the Devil and well I'm not sure about Dark go to the darkest corner of the world maybe either way it's impossible!
"Nothing is impossible only if..."
You believe it is. I span round and came face to face with a tall, muscular dark hair man with red eyes. He was taller then me I was around 5'5 he looked at least two inches taller then Lohan and he was 6'4.
"Who..who are you and how did you know that?"
Lohan and I used to say it all the time whenever is say something was impossible he'd say different. Alice in Wonderland was my favourite movie well and my favourite book. Lohan would read it to me every night when I was little.
"Well I go by many names, Lucifer, The Fallen, King Of Hell, The Devil but you can call me Draven. As for you second question anyone who's watched or ever read Alice in Wonderland knows that quote. Now the questions I'd like answering is who are you and why did you call?"
Call? When did I call...oh the puzzle box. Of course it was like a damn batsignal I'm amazed Batman hasn't flown in.
"Elena, Elena Lyons and I...this is hard for me to...I need your help."
You'd think I was have teeth pulled out I just asked the Devil for help! Help for fucks sake the Devil!
"I see help with what exactly I can't read minds Elena."
He smirked at me making me curse under my breath of course he can read my mind how else would he have heard me complaining about meeting him being impossible.
"For the Devil you sure do meet all my expectations. You've got the lying part hands down and the killer smile you almost had me. Look Savannah said that you, Dark and Death could help me can you or not because if you can't I'd rather sell my soul to someone else. I shouldn't have to tell you why I need help you are the Devil after all you should be able to help me with whatever I need for a price correct or not."
This is taking too long I need to save Lohan and I'm running out of time. The Crescent Witches probably have his body and are trying everything to bring him back just to take his power and kill him all over again!
"You have quite the temper and a sharp tongue for one so young. You are correct for the right price you can have anything and I guess the others should hear what you have to say as well so let's go. This better be worth my time bring the box I don't need anymore souls giving it away for favours. Savannah better not have wasted her favour I won't be granting her a second."
Okay I've made up my mind I hate this guy. Then again hate must come with the job if you are the Devil himself the other two better be more willing to help me or I swear I'll...God knows what I'll do I mean he is the Devil after all he'd just laugh at any threat I throw his way.
"After you. All the way to the top of the stairs don't stop until you reached the penthouses doors."
Of course they live in a fancy, flashy penthouse apartment why doesn't that surprise me. Hell must have terrible housing prices and the views must be well Hell.
"Quit making jokes and sarcastic remarks and get moving."
I rolled my eyes and hurried up the stairs. Well I guess it's time to meet Dark and Death lucky me.
Lohan would be laughing at this situation he'd say something like it can't get any worse might as well laugh it off or some terrible saying that he made up.
"Knocking the door won't kill you."
No really here I thought it was going to jump off its hinges and eat me or better yet flatten me as if falls out of it's hinges.
"Stop being a smart ass and just knock will you your the most irritating witch I've ever had to deal with. How old are you anyway I'd love to meet the person who raised you."
I gritted my teeth together before I knocked on the door ignoring his comment and his scolding gaze. I'm not a child.
"Dra what took oh..hello little thing she's so cute."
Okay not what I expected personality wise physical he looks just as tall and muscular as the Devil. I guess you can't judge a book by it's cover. I'd say he's only a inch short then the Devil but still taller then Lohan, he hair was lighter more like a charcoal grey then black but he's eyes stood out just like the red eyed Devil this guy had black eyes there were just as dark as Devil's hair.
What hold on did he just call my little?! And cute?!
"Okay one don't call me cute cause I'll kick your ass. Two my name is Elena and three call me little again and no matter who or what you are I'll kill you in your sleep got it."
The Devil just smirked as the guy in front of me just stared at me. What? I have a temper and when some calls me little well...
"M'kay."
I said with a smile whilst whipping my hair back as I pushed passed him to get inside. It's definitely not where I expected the Devil to live let alone Dark and Death. It's quite homely I guess.
I walk down the stairs to the bottom to see the living area, a door that looked like it lead to the bathroom and a bed which was on a small platform. I looked back up at the stairs to see the kitchen and what looked like another sitting area this place is backwards.
I turned back to face the living area to see another tall guy in front of me. He was just as tall as the Devil and just as muscular as the other two men. His hair was more of an ash grey and his eyes were white. How do these guys go unnoticed I mean anyone in there right mind would be talking about them. They stand out in a crowd with there eyes I mean no one will forget them in a hurry.
"Whose she?"
Charming. So the Devil is an irritate, the one guy is an annoyance and the other is well a grump.
"I'm Elena. Now which one are you?"
I looked back to see the Devil and the annoying one beside him. Umm..it's fifty-fifty but I suppose it would make sense if Dark had dark eyes and Death collects souls so it make sense if his eyes mirrored the soul he was taking.
"This is Harlem or Dark and behind you is Oxyn or Death."
And mic drop I was right boom. Okay Elena focus. They better be able to do what Savannah said because if not...this would have been a waste of time and they would have driven me crazy all for nothing. They all started talk asking Dalton why I was there and I wanted to scream.
"Look will you guys just help me; help me save him please."
