Chapter 9: black rose (N.M.)
Hello as you can see, I'm Nathen. Now I'm going to be fast forwarding this to a more eventful day. The night before Jess was supposed to be coming over. I was sitting in the library looking over an old record book.
'And as the mortal slayed even the most hate filled heart with a single look she came upon the devil himself. He stood towering over her with a plan that even god would be tricked with. The immortal mortal, named thus for never dying, glared with a look of determination. In what has never been known. "What do you want?" The devil asked the immortal mortal who gave but a single response. "Your head." The 2 clashed in amazing speed. Light and dark flashes flew from them both as they fought. They devil was pushed to the point of failure before he put his plan into action. He called upon a dark force from the hole which he wish he could destroy. 4 warriors rose shackled in iron and trapped the immortal mortal dragging her into the infernal pit damming her for all eternity. She sat there waiting for a rescue but knew there would be none. Till 4 warriors upon steeds were sent into the pit by God himself and only the immortal mortal returned unscathed while the now 8 beings fought with such ferocity wanting to leave. With each day the bring of light and dark fought, they became more and more as one."
"Nathen!" I heard a loud yell calling my name. I looked at my watch and saw it was 7:52. I closed my book and left the library going down to the front door seeing my father with a look of annoyance, my 3 other uncles, my cousins (all of whom looked very irritated), and a woman i recognized instantly with red skin, a tail, wearing a suit that a proper lawyer would only be caught in and a very mischievous smirk while staring at me as I walked down the stairs. "Where were you?" My father asked kindly.
"Library. Was studying for a test." I lied with no emotion. "What is it?" My father sighed in annoyance and started to speak but was interrupted.
"I'm Lucy." She held out a hand to me which I shook. "I'm the Devils assistant and may I say you look like a real lady killer in that tie and pants." I got confused at why she would be here
"Yes i remember you from....our time together. What do you want?" I asked in caution. I saw my father smirk a bit and Lucy give a fake pout.
"Is that any way to treat a guest?" She said in a hurt voice. I kept my emotionless gaze on her until she smirked. "Hmmm you were much more fun when we were in America together."
"Lucy is here because," my uncle Blight sighed taking a pause, "she has just informed us that the Devil, and his children will be joining us for dinner tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" I asked with a hint of concern in my voice.
"Oh and don't forget I'll be there." She said in a bit of a suggestive tone.
"Well that's going to be a big problem. Can't you reschedule for Saturday?" I asked trying to keep the emotion out of my voice.
"Oh sorry sugar button, no way. It has to be tomorrow. Hope you don't mind." Lucy said before turning and leaving. "Ta ta." She walked away swaying her hips and disappeared into a column of flame and at the base where the column started was a black rose sticking up out of ash. My father picked up the rose and handed it to me.
"This is going to be very interesting especially with Jess coming over tomorrow too." My father said as everyone started to leave me and my father.
"Welp to late to cancel now." I say taking the rose, grabbing some of the ash and walking to my room on the first floor with the thorns digging into my skin. "Why tomorrow?" I asked myself opening the door. I looked around my room. I wish I could say it was styled like my mom would want but I don't know. It was like a bomb shelter. I mean literally bomb shelter. It was a 15 by 15 foot room with a bed hanging from the wall. It had carpeted floor, concrete walls that stood 7 feet tall, a couch in the middle facing towards a medium sized tv. It got cold a lot in my room so i had a lot of blankets. Somethings that stood out in my dark and standard room was next to my bed which had a big board with lots of pictures and an unoccupied stand under it. Most were family pictures and pictures at amusement parks. One that i like was where my father, 3 cousins, Uncles and I were riding a roller-coaster and it caught the picture at the right moment when Percy threw up on Grace. I chuckled at the memory before I scanned the board again. 2 of those photos that stood out was of me and a certain girl sharing some ice cream at a park and that same girl and me at a small water park that we bought out for the family. I sighed and brought out a black vase from my closet (yes I keep vase in my closet.) and put some of the ash in it before I set the rose inside it. I looked at the picture with the ice cream and saw the words that I still can't get out of my head. 'Lucy x Nathen. 1st date!' The other one said, 'Lucy x Nathen. 5th date.'
