________

Salvation and destruction.Are you the Salvation? Or the destruction? Would you rather see the light of Salvation or see the darkness of destruction? A bone crushing question to those who know the meaning. Red is the curse. They labelled it as a curse. Soon,the world will be painted in red. Consequences will be graver.

"You need to go back to the world where you belong. It is an order from your own god Lucian",Nyx,the hell King said as he stared at the girl infront of him.

The throne room was dark and empty except for the hell King and Hazel. Nyx sat on top of his throne with crossed legs and a hand supporting his chin with the elbow on the arm of the chair. His violent coloured eyes narrowed down at her seeing a snicker coming out from the crimson eyed girl.

"I belong to where my family is",Hazel replied.

Nyx,"It's not you who decide where you belong. You were never meant to live anyways. You lived thanks to that bitch of your mother who pulled forbidden tricks to place you in another dimensional world"

Hazel didn't budge hearing about her mother for the first time from a stranger. And that stranger happened to be the hell King. "How unfortunate I found my way back home"

Nyx wasn't offended by how sarcastic she sounded. He stayed calm still staring down at the woman. "Go back. Lucian will not let you live longer"

"Hell and Heaven working together to send back a mere soul to another world. Bullying weak is not that good looking ",A sly smile crept into her lips.

Nyx,"....."

"Send me back. I will find my way back again. Try two times. Three times. Million times. I will still come back. Or maybe you can kill me. I heard all Pendragons go to heaven since they are Lucian's slaves. Hahaha"

"I see why Lucian wanted to kill you"

Hazel,"No actually you don't"

Nyx,".....I paid a visit to Orpheus. He seemed to care for you",he remembered how Orpheus reacted when he lied about burning Hazel's soul. "What's so special about you?"

Hazel smiled slightly looking down at her own reflection of the dark shiny floor. A small memory of him showing her shiny magic lights and butterflies came to her mind. "You wouldn't understand"

"...."

Hazel,"I'm not special",But his eyes see me as special. Hazel thought the last statement silently.

Nyx's lips twitched as if he was irritated. He couldn't understand. He felt somehow inferior to Orpheus knowing there is something Orpheus understood yet he couldn't. "Let's make a deal then. You don't have to go back.....Be my woman and stay in hell by my side"

Hazel raised an eyebrow,a little bit surprised. When she blinked,Nyx was no longer on the throne but right infront of her. She instinctively took a step back but he was quick enough to wrap his arm around her waist. "I can help you achieve what you want. All you have to do is....be my queen"

Hazel gritted her teeth and pushed him away but he tightened his hold. "Let go"

"Since Orpheus chose you,you must have to be special"

"Aren't you scared?",Hazel asked taking Nyx off guard.

Nyx raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Hazel snickered,"You took everything away from him and locked him up for thousands of years. But he still let you go. He didn't want to come back. Unfortunately,you provoked him again. You interfered in his life,brought me to hell and locked him up again. Do you really think he would let you off this time? "

"I'm not scared of him"

"Oh really? I doubt that"

"....what"

Hazel smirked,"You've always been scared of him. Why else would you lock him up instead of trying to kill him? You know you can't kill him"

Nyx,"...."

Hazel,"He will definitely come here. You cannot lock him up twice"

Nyx stared at her for few seconds in complete silence. He opened his mouth and spoke,"....then I will welcome him with your corps in my arms"

The massive iron door of the throne room was burst opened.

Hazel,".....!!"

The sight greeted her left her speechless. Her chest tightened. She wasn't scared when she was taken to hell but right now,she felt the chills of fear taking over her.

"...papa"

Kalisto stood at the door with a bloody forehead,panting heavily with his blood dripping sword in his hands. His crimson shiny snapped eyes stared directly at Hazel.

Hazel immediately pushed Nyx away and made a run towards her father but gasped when she was pulled back by a force and she went back flying towards a wall.

Nyx's eyes went to Kalisto,"It's always you. Aren't you scared? Lucian is watching you"

Kalisto,"...fuck him. I'm taking my daughter back home"

Jungkook and Taehyung stood infront of a demon woman and a man. The demon woman was a perfect seductress with only wearing to cover her private parts. Her black wings sat back on top of her shoulders perfectly. Purple hair danced into the wind aggressively. Since her body was almost bare,the flowery patterns like tattoos shone all over her body. She stared at the two Pendragons with a cold blank face.

The demon man was in complete black. He too had purple hair just like the woman. Contrary to the woman's expression,he had a very funny and silly grin crept into his lips.

"Didn't really expect humans here but isn't this refreshing sis?",the man asked.

The woman rolled her eyes,"Shut up",she sighed and looked at the two humans. "Thank you for saving my brother just now"

Taehyung narrowed his eyes,"I do not understand. You two are hell creatures. Why would another demon attack you guys?"

The demon boy spoke up,"Because our parents were late hell king Orpheus' generals —"

The demon woman's fist collided with the boy's head shutting him up. She sent him a glare,"I told you not to speak about those things infront of others"

"But they are humans!"

The woman ignored him and looked at the two humans,"Then we'll be on our way"

Jungkook,"Wait"

The woman raised an eyebrow.

Taehyung and Jungkook shared a knowing look before Taehyung spoke,"We need help too"

The woman was reluctant but the boy was eager to help as his eyes shone in excitement. The boy had been craving for some excitement since ages so he couldn't contain his excitement. "Oho! Sis,you don't have to help if you don't want. I can help them"

"Shut up it you don't want me to kill you",..."So,what do you guys want? As long as it is within our reach,I'll try to help as a repayment"

Jungkook,"Someone from hell kidnapped our sister. We need to find her"

The boy stroked his chin as if he is thinking,"Kidnapped? That's hard to believe. Demons can't enter human world after all. Unless it is the supreme Lord of hell —wait"

The woman sighed,"He is telling the truth. Only a hell King can open a door to the human world. So,if your sister was taken away by someone from hell,I can't think of anyone other than the current King of hell"

"Then show us the way to the king",Jungkook said taking the demon siblings off guard.

"What?!",The woman exclaimed. "You guys have a death wish? "

Taehyung rolled his eyes,"Just do as we say"

The woman would have plucked out his eyes if they didn't save her brother. But stayed calm,"As a sibling,I understand you. But we are talking about king of hell. You can literally die and stay here forever. And who knows if your sister is still alive?"

Jungkook's lip twitched in annoyance. He wanted to kill her for saying that. "She is not dead. Tell me,if your brother was taken by that dirtbag of a king,would you stay back here?"

All four of them went silent. Jungkook and Taehyung were desperate now. They didn't know how much time has past. It could be days already yet they couldn't tell. They wouldn't have saved this demon boy if they didn't have a motive. They wanted to make them indebt to them so they could ask them to find their sister. Otherwise,they wouldn't have blinked an eye for the demon boy.

"....follow us. We'll take you to the castle. But that's all. Don't expect us to help you further more"

Taehyung and Jungkook heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

Hoseok was sitting under a cave to rest for few seconds. Beside him was the demon woman he was taking along with him.

"Are we close yet?",Hoseok asked.

The demon woman blushed when he looked at him with his crimson eyes. She nodded meekly,"Yes. But things won't be easy. There are hell hunters everywhere. Also there are so many hell creatures under the hell King's power. It's better to go inside without alerting the hunters who guard the palace. If the king unleash one of his hell creatures,then I don't know if we'll survive"

Hoseok ran his hand through his hair with a heavy sigh,"There is no 'we' here. I'm only taking you because I don't know the way to the castle. After that,you can go on your way"

The demon girl looked down feeling a bit sad. Silence took over them. But it didn't last long when the demon girl opened her mouth,"Do you love your sister that much that you came to hell?"

"...yes"

"What does she look like?"

"Beautiful"

Hoseok sighed as he leaned against the cave. He wanted to see her as soon as possible. He remembered her mentioning about a pastry shop few weeks ago. She asked him to take her with him to the shop but he was damn busy and he couldn't take her there. He winced at the memory. He swore that when they saved her,he would buy her the whole shop for her. He will not postpone anything she asked him to do again. No matter how busy he is,he will prioritise her.

The demon girl was about to speak again but paused seeing a tear falling from his eyes. He wasn't focusing on her. He seemed to be in a pain she could never understand.
