CHAPTER 3: DANGER IS EVERYWHERE

My heart was ready to come out from its rib cage. I was falling at high speeds.

I evaded two or three floating fire balls, which I didn't now why they were there in the first place.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH, OH MY GOD! LUCIFEEEEER!"

Just when I was about to hit another unsuccessfully evaded fire ball, a hand pulled me out of the way. I could swear that the heat from the fire ball had made me sweat more than I was already after the falling.

Lucifer chuckled as my trembling self, threw him a glare.

"THAT was NOT funny! I almost died!"

He continued to laugh as I thrashed in his embrace.

"It would be a lie to say I wasn't enjoying it. You seemed like you were having fun."

I countered,

"How can you call, me crying my eyeballs out while falling from who knows where; from unholy heights, FUN?! Stop laughing at me and hold me tighter! I feel myself slipping..."

His hold on me tightened as one of his hands tried to sooth me back from my stressful state.

As he flew and glided lower, he continued our conversation.

"I would never let you fall to your death. As much as I am a demon, I wouldn't stand seeing a very important person to me, die."

I glanced at his face to distract myself from how high we were, but as soon as his eyesight caught mine, I looked down. He smirked and again spoke.

"Didn't know you were scared of heights..."

I answered,

"I am not scared of heights. Going up mountains on firm soil is totally different from getting roller-coasted by a man with wings on mid-air."

He threw another one of his chuckles.

I continued.

"So...Umm...what is going on exactly...? Where are we right now...?"

He didn't look at me as he partially answered my question.

"We are now soaring the Devildom skies."

I knew he'd say that but nevertheless, I had to ask him; just to make sure that this was all happening.

He continued as we made a turnover a thundering dark green cloud. The smell of sulfur hit me with all it got, making me cough and cover my nose and mouth with my only working hand. The effects from the poison remained in my body. Thus, it remained useless for the meantime, IF it ever did go away.

Lucifer tried his best to avoid the gas clouds as much as he could and just when we were on "clear" skies again, he continued to speak.

"As for what is going on, let's say YOU are not safe. NONE are safe. Not even US."

I raised my eyebrows at his curious answer.

"What do you mean with I am not safe. That none of us is safe? Yesterday, everything was fine. Why is it that today nothing is right?"

Lucifer saw in my eyes worry and lingering anxiety. He frowned and decided to look the whole way down without looking at me in the eyes.

"It means exactly what it means. Before I speak anything more, we need to get to a safe place first. Even the skies here at Devildom are full of danger."

I wasn't going to ask more, but I needed to know how the rest of the brothers were; if they were okay.

"Lucifer, what about...?!"

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant fire feathered came from under us. It opened his jaw as wide as a sarcastic fringehead fish, and went straight on to eat us, but Lucifer duked and soared, escaping being eaten by the serpent like monster.

He cursed.

"Can't they give it a rest? That bastard is again sending demons your way. Pamy..."

I asked,

"Yeah?!"

Lucifer,

"Your cellphone is working as a tracker. It's luring them towards us. We have to destroy it."

Thinking it through, there was no way I was getting rid of it. I had data still in it that I needed to transfer to my laptop, which glancing around myself, I didn't have with me. Reality hit me and noticed that neither my backpack, with my wallet, with my credit card and money, were with me. I must have left it at the studio and now was not only broke, but almost to be eaten by a crazy mutant Hell reptile.

Lucifer batted his wings, again evading the monster's tail.

"Dammit...! I can't fight it like this..."

Lucifer carrying me, made it difficult for him to use his hands to either land a critical blow on the creature, or use any high-level magic powers on it.

The creature landed another blow with its tail at us and just as Lucifer ducked, it followed with its mouth open, ready to take us whole.

Just moments away from getting eaten, something hit it by the jaw, sending it up towards a sulfur gas cloud.

Me and Lucifer seemed surprised to see what, or better said, WHO was the one to land such a blow at such a perfect time.

Soon enough, Lucifer noticed who it was and smirked.

"Thank you for the help Beel. May I ask for one more favor?"

Beel wore a serious expression, but in his eyes a glint of happiness could be caught. He slowly said,

"Yes..."

Lucifer nodded and exclaimed,

"CATCH!"

In seconds, I was being thrown into the air, landing in Beel's arms. The creature's roar came near the distance as Lucifer gave his final orders with determination written on his face.

"Beel, take Pamy to the others. DO NOT take any breaks."

Beel nodded.

"Mhn. No breaks."

I looked in between Beel and him. Everything was happening so fast.

Lucifer turned to me. He cupped my face ans smiling, planted a kiss on my forehead.

Still trying to process all that was happening. I stared wide eyed and unflinching as he pulled back and waved my cellphone on one of his hands.

"I'll take this problematic device if you don't mind. I'll see you in a bit then. Beel, NOW."

At the command, Beel flew from the battle scene. The las thing I saw was two more creatures about to clash with a shining Lucifer and Beel covering my eyes because, as he pointed out, the beautiful light would make me blind.
