{ Chapter 44: Ride through Wrath }

Danika goes on a train ride with Satan to see the towns. They waited for the train to come until it eventually came before the two went inside. They sit down in the fancy seating area for royals. Danika leans against the window, Satan looking at something, staring into the place as the train goes by. She wonders how Sallie May, Lin, and Joe are doing and hopes to see them ask them about Millie and the IMP gang. She especially wonders if Striker is here too since he lives in Wrath so that she can see him. Danika frowns, missing him and her boyfriends, Ozzie and Fizz. Even though they gave her a bracelet to communicate with them, it only feels the same with talking to them in person. She was lost in thought when a hand slammed outside her window, causing her to flinch and turn to see... Danika's face turned pale to see Duncan again. And he looked a bit deranged and was hanging onto the moving train while the harsh wind blew at his face and hair.

"Dannyboo!! I found you!! I'm here to rescue you so we can be together forever, my lady!!" he yelled through the window.

"Gah!! No!!"

Danika immediately shuts the window with the window blind. Satan hears her panic yelp and turns to her, seeing her scared.

"What's wrong?"

"I-It's Duncan. That sinner, or used to be human, had been stalking me ever since I was tasked to kill him. Instead of him being scared of me or his life about to be taken away, he is obsessed with me. Worst of all, he is into assassin and demon fanfic shit." she explained, shivering in disgust. "I wish I'd never agreed to kill that target..."

"Okay, first of all, how the Hell did that sinner manage to get into Wrath? No sinners are ever allowed to travel to other Rings and are bound to live in Pride. Second, he can't be that bad."

Danika looked at Satan like he was joking. She pulled up the window and blinked to show Duncan was still hanging on. Duncan sees Satan and gets crazy.

"Oh shit!! Satan! You better release her! For she is mine, and I will be able to be the best man she has ever met! And I will take you down, and I'll..."

As Duncan continued screaming something out, Satan was creeped out by his behavior and slowly pulled the window blind down to block him out, turning back to Danika. Danika looked at him expectantly as if saying, 'You see what I mean?'

"I... can see why you're concerned about him. I'll figure out how he got here and kicked him out."

"Yes, please..." Danika muttered as Yogirt came in.

"Ah, hello, you two. You're missing the beautiful scenery outside," Yogirt said as he opened the window.

"NO!!!!" Danika and Satan shouted before it opened, and Duncan appeared again.

"Give me Dannyboo back!! Dannyboo, I love you!! Let's start a family!! And I will have Satan's head to prove my undying love for you!"

Yogirt freaks out and immediately shuts the window, turning to see Satan and Danika hiding in the corner, cowering. Satan's wings around Danika to hide her, with only her eyes being seen.

"M-Maybe the scenery will be missed."

"You think?! That sinner is fucking crazy!!" Satan exclaimed.

"Please tell me we're almost there!!" Danika begged, wanting to be far away from Duncan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eventually, they made it to town and checked to see that Duncan was no longer on the train, which made them believe he was blown away. Well, not really.

"So, what are we doing in town again?" Danika asked, awkwardly waving at the demons gawking at her human form.

"To check stocks," Satan answered. "Just stay close to me. You might even learn different kinds of food."

She nodded as Satan went around to every town that provided food around Hell. He explained to her along the way that he's making sure the cattle and crops are well taken care of while also providing funding for any farmer who had a hard harvest time or damage done to their farm. This surprised her. But along the way, Duncan had been following them as he would pop up at random intervals and would get dragged away by guards or punched away by Satan. But he never seems to give up or take a hint.

Danika was looking at the standoff for what she could buy when she spotted a familiar family. She smiled to see Sallie May, Lin, Joe, and the other family she recognized.

"Guys! Hey! It's Danika!" she waved, running over to them.

Sallie May jumped, turned to see Danika, and let out a big smile.

"Dan! Oh, thank goodness you're okay!" she exclaimed, hugging a human princess.

"Sallie. Good to see you," Danika cheered

"Girl, we're so glad you are okay when you're trapped with Satan."

"Don't worry, Sallie, I'm doing okay, and Satan is not bad to me, and we were checking your stocks to see your lovely farm," Danika said as she came up to the farm, where Lin and Joe came out looking relieved.

"Oh honey, I'm so glad you're okay. Millie and the others will be so glad to hear your alright," Lin said as she hugged the human.

"Thanks, Lin. How are they?" Danika asked.

"Well, your boss and fellow employees are having a bit of a business boom with new interns and such but they aren't working just yet. And that one friend of yours, Verosika, she held a special concert in your honor yesterday. According to the local gossip, that song hit number one in Hells music charts," Joe informed and Danika smiled before it fell.

"What about my Dad, sister, and boyfriends?" she asked.

"We don't know. Nobody has seen them since the trial." Lin answered the unspoken question. Danika looked down and sighed before she giggled when Sallie began to tickle her.

"Hey, Sal, what are you doing?"

"You don't think a human doesn't want to be down in the dumps?" Sallie continued tickling Danika.

"No! Stop! Please!"

Danika kept laughing from the tickle and slipped onto the ground as Sallie kept tickling. The farm family laugh at the sight with Sallie laughing as well, enjoying the friend's reunion. After the tickling, Sallie led Danika to the table to seek the best food made from the farm. Danika sat down on the chair, and Sallie brought out the food to try.

"Danika, you gonna try our famous food fresh from the farm like Country French garlic soup is a rich and aromatic dish that comforting flavors of roasted garlic, herbs, and broth with a side of bread." she explained.

"Ooh! Looks yummy. Can I have a sample?" Danika admired it while she drooled in hunger.

"Sure thing." Sallie grabbed a small bowl to scoop the soup and handed it to Danika. She tasted it and immediately loved it.

"Mmm! Yummy! Best soup I could ever taste! Can I take it to go?"

"Sure can do, and I'm so glad you like it." Sallie grabbed a small box to hold the soup for Danika to bring back to the castle to eat later. "Also we have more food for you to try."

"Then let's get moving."

Sallie brings out the second course to try, and Danika simply cannot wait for the second. 

"Next, Bacon Brown Sugar Chicken Tenders is a sweet dish combining the irresistible flavors of crispy bacon, tender chicken, and a sweet brown sugar coating." Sallie showed the second course, and Danika was amazed with glittery eyes.

"Whoa! Now that's what I call a chicken tender." Danika tried the chicken tender, and she felt happy with the flavor of her taste. "Sallie, your family sure knows how to make tasty food and meals."

"Sure does, Danika, and I wish Millie were here to see you. Everyone missed you so much that their lives are not the same without you in them," Sallie said as she was down and wishing to come together.

"Hey, don't worry. I'm sure I'll find a way to set me free, and sooner or later, we will have a feast to celebrate freedom and be reunited once again." Danika comforted Sallie as she put her hand on her shoulder, which Sallie smiled. "How about you show one last course before Satan calls me to leave?" 

"Yeah. You're gonna love the best course for any farmers, and the tastiest of all is..." Sallie prepared the final course for Danika. "Cowboy Steak and Eggs is the best meal we have for breakfast and is grilled ribeye steaks cooked to perfection and served with crispy potatoes, chorizo, bacon, beans, and more." 

"Whoa! Best meal I could ever see and a perfect meal for breakfast, I'm going to try this."

Sallie gave Danika a little sample of steak and eggs. Danika tasted it, and she melted with the flavor at the best meal she could ever taste.

"Sal, this is so delicious, and thanks for the meals," Danika thanked Sallie.

"You are so welcome, and you wanna take some of the meals so you can have them for dinner later?" Sallie said.

"Sure, and I'm sure Satan will also love your meals."

Sallie and Danika pack the food for the road to share with Satan and Danika is on her way, but not before they hug each other for the best meals and a great time together.

"Sal, can you tell Millie that I'm doing okay and give her my message to Blitz as well?" Danika asked.

"I will." Sallie nodded.

"Thanks. Bye, everyone, and hopefully, I'll see you all again!" Danika waved farewell to Sallie and the family as she walked out.

"Bye, Danika, come back again soon!" they said in unison and waved back at her, knowing one day they will see her again someday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the dark part of the town, Striker was brooding for a deep thought of Danika as he was holding a picture of Danika. He never felt this sad before, just like everyone else was missing Danika so much. Until he spotted Danika walking by holding the bags full of food from Sallie, Striker was surprised and happy but he knew he couldn't be near her because she was binded to Satan, so he thought of an idea.

Striker uses old metal and a reflection of sunlight on a piece of metal and makes it into a point like a natural laser pointer trick to create a sort of dot to flash in Danika's eye. While Danika was heading back to Satan before he called her, she got blinded by a spot of light, which caught her attention. Curious, she followed the light and found the source of the spotlight and bumped into Striker.

"Striker?!" Danika gasped.

"Starlight." Striker tipped his hat to greet her yet again.

"What are you doing here?" she asked cautiously, getting into her fighting stance.

"Brooding. And there's no need to do that, I'm not gonna fight you. Just... want to talk." he said honestly.

This surprised Danika as she loosened her stance.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Danika questioned.

"Look, things have been real rough ever since Satan took you away from us" Striker answered while looking down.

"I know, they all miss me since after the trial when Satan took me as his prisoner. But I'm doing fine. Satan has been good to me, and we were checking the stocks right now for checking for food."

"Well, I'm glad you're doing okay," Striker said in relief as he held her hands and made Danika blush.

Danika and Striker smiled at each other and Striker pulled her gently towards him for a quick hug. This surprised Danika once again at his unexpected soft behavior. She slowly hugged him back for a quick moment. Even though Striker may messed up Danika, her friends, family, and brother, he still loves her. After they hugged, Striker checked the time and needed to head out before someone stopped him.

"I'm sorry, Starlight but I have to go before someone spots me." Just as Striker was about to leave, Danika grabbed his hand and made him turn his head to see her one more time.

"It was great to see you again, Striker and hopefully, I will see you again someday. And... I'll keep my guard up." she said with a hint of playful threat, making him chuckle.

"If fate decided then it will be, my Starlight." Striker said before he kissed her hand and made Danika blush again.

When Striker leaves, Danika smiles a bit, seeing as he's doing alright. Just as she was about to turn around and head off, she was blocked by a very blue and purple and familiar chest. Her face drops instantly as she looks up to stare at a large toothy grin.

"DANNYBOO!!!!!!!!"

Meanwhile...

"Okay, so you all need a new fence," Satan said before he heard a rather loud...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Shrill scream was heard. Satan perked up when he remembered that familiar scream.

"Danika!" Satan called out as he dropped his list and flew off. Flying over the town, he saw Danika running away from a familiar creep.

"Dannyboo, wait for me, my immortal love!!" Duncan said as he held his arms open wide, ran crazily, and made weird faces while Danika ran as if her life depended on it.

"STOP FOLLOWING ME WEIRDO!" Danika yelled as she kept running away.

"NEVER DANNYBOO! LET ME HAVE YOU FOREVER!"

Satan flew down and swooped Danika up, cradling her in his arms. Lifting himself enough and hovering over the town while Duncan was shouting at the sin.

"You okay?" Satan asked as he looked at the girl who was taking a breather.

"Yeah, but l'll feel even better when that fucking bright blue and purple twat is far away from me," Danika heaved as she tried to look down and see Duncan, only for her chin to be guided back to Satan.

"Don't look at him. He is not worth it," Satan said as he looked at Danika in the eyes, his claws lightly scraping her chin. "Am I understood?" Satan asked.

"Yes," Danika gasped out.

"Good girl," Satan said as he flew down close enough to where his tail could wrap around that sinner's ankle before tossing him up in the air and punching the sinner. Danika watched in awe as Duncan became a tiny star in the sky. "I'm going to have a bounty place on that sinner's head. He won't get near you ever again," Satan explained to Danika.

"Okay."

"How come Ozzie or even Bee didn't take care of this? They knew you the longest." Satan asked only to be met with silence. Looking down, he saw Danika biting her lip and looking away. "Danika," Satan said, using a condescending tone that made Danika feel like a kid who got in trouble with her parents.

"I may or may not have told them and you are the second person to know," Danika admitted sheepishly, which caused Satan to stop and look at her as if she grew a second head.

"What!!? Not even Ozzie? You're dating him, aren't you?"

"Yes, and well, this is the first time Duncan has ever followed me into another ring. I was pretty safe when I visited Ozzie, Fizz, Bee, and Tex." Danika explained.

"That's no excuse. If you have a stalker, especially one as demented as him, you need to get help immediately." Satan said as he went back to the farm he was at earlier. After getting the list done, the two headed back to the train. But when they got back to the train, they were met with the sight of Yogirt looking at a computer with obvious interest.

"Hey Yogirt," Danika called out which caused the flying demon to look at Danika and Satan with a smirk.

"Hello~you two, had fun?" Yogirt asked.

"Yeah, we did. Even though there is a stalker that keeps following me," Danika explained the day they've been having.

"Oh." Yogirt was surprised a bit.

"But don't worry, I saved her and we won't see him again for a while." Satan explained as Yogirt sighed in relief.

"Right, and now I want to go back home with you guys," Danika said as Yogirt and Satan were shocked when she called his castle "home".

"Let's go." Danika ignored their shock as she walked past them.

"Uh, sir? Am I dreaming or does she actually call our castle home?" Yogirt said curiously.

"Yeah, she did say that." Satan dreamily sighed.

He stared at Danika with a pink background of love-shaped and he made the face dreamy, sighed, and was lost in thought when Yogirt waved his hand in front of Satan's face as if he was in love with Danika already.

"By the way, Yogirt, what were you looking at?" Danika asked.

"Oh, that stalker you were talking about? Apparently he writes fanfic all the time and he actually write a fanfic about you and Lord Satan recently." Yogirt explained, breaking Satan out of his trance.

"A what now?" Satan asked, sort of feeling uneasy.

"Oh, it's rather interesting~" Yogirt said with a sarcastic tone.

"Fuck no!" Danika cried out, hiding her face in her hands. "How bad is it?"

"Well I can't describe it, you just have to sort of see it." Yogirt explained as he opened the computer.

"I don't want to see it, but at the same time curiosity is killing me," Danika groaned out. Satan sighed before he took the offered laptop and sat down next to Danika.

"How about we both do it? That way you don't have to see it alone," Satan said, which earned him a nod from Danila. Turning to Yogirt, Satan handed him over the list. "Get this list for this town processed for stocks and such. And place a bounty on that sinner that's stalking Danika," Satan ordered as Yogrit took the clipboard.

"Right away. Enjoy, you two," Yogrit said as he left and Satan got the fanfic ready to read.

"It can't be that bad right?" Danika asked, looking up at Satan as he scrolled up.

"Of course it cannnAAAHHHNNNNNNTTT!!! What the fuck is this!?" Satan screamed as he looked at a picture. It was of him and Danika, in her human form, but posed as if it was some sort of porno poster. Drawn was Danika, kneeling on the ground in a skimpy sheer red dress barely hiding her assets, delicate gold chains allover her body with rubies decorating her skin, large cuffs on her ankles and wrists chained together, red high heels with locks around the ankles, and finally a golden collar with a chain leading into drawn Satans clawed hand. Another drawn was Satan, seen with his shirt off and golden masculine upper and forearm arm cuffs and on both arms and a necklace on would think a pharaoh would wear, leather pants and boots being worn, and wings spread wide. The real Danika and Satan looked at each other with wide eye and bright pink blushes on their faces.

"I-um, lets get to it," Danika said as she looked back at the computer.

"Yes, let's get to it." he agreed.

1 hour later...

"Alright my lord, those requests are processed and we are about to leave for the palace and..." Yogirt came flying in before noticing how quiet the two were. Looking at them, he noticed the wide eyes and gapped jaws. "So how was it?"

"I feel like a teenage boy with a computer, I can't stop staring at this." Danika exclaimed in horror as she finally moved her eyes away from it. Satan finally blinked and rubbed his eyes.

"Well, that will be in my nightmare for the rest of my life. But seriously, do I look like the type to rape someone? If I raped anyone, Ozzie would have my dick on the chopping block," Satan exclaimed. When he noticed Danika still staring, placed his hand over her eyes to snap out of her. "No more of that, let's head home and enjoy ourselves," Satan offered.

"Uh yeah right, let's head home, boys." Danika agreed, removing the hand. As Yogirt left to tell the conductor to go, Danika sighed. "You know, I wonder where Duncan got the idea that I had a six-pack. I don't really have one,"

"You don't?" Satan asked.

"No. I work out, yes but not enough to have a six-pack." Danika laughed.

"Yeah, well I looked like a lazy ass. I mean, I have worked to have my body stay like this for 10,000 years. " Satan exclaimed indignantly.

"Yeah, I think we both got some injustice." Danika said as she looked out the window.

"Body yes, personality-wise definitely."

"Oh don't get me started. I am not someone who goes around telling people to fuck off and then turns into a kitten. Seriously, I mean the foreplay Ozzie and Fizz do to me to get me like that," Danika exclaimed before muttering the last bit. Satan looked on in interest and smirked.

"Oh, and what sort of foreplay did my brother have to use on you?" Satan asked as he looked at Danika, who flushed once again.

"I am not telling you," Danika said as she backed into a corner. Satan now on all fours in front of her.

"Well then, I guess I'll have to get the information out of you," Satan said, wings spread out before he pounced. When Yogirt returned, he was surprised to hear the sounds of rambunctious laughter. Looking in the train window, he saw Satan had Danika in his lap, one hand holding both of Danika's wrists and the other tickling her sides while his tail held her kicking legs. "Just tell me, and I will let you go," Satan said in her ear as he paused to let Danika catch her breath from laughing so hard.

"N-Never," Danika breathed out only for Satan to resume his tickling. Yogirt decided to leave the two alone, letting them have their moment as the train starts moving.
