She Belongs To The Devil

"Do you need any help, brother?" Lucifer asked Theodore from the other side of the portal.

Lucifer was gazing at the portal as though he had been waiting for this moment for centuries. He had a mysterious smile on his lips and his eyes were gleaming with excitement.

Theodore turned around to see his brother. He gave a challenging glance and asked, "Don't tell me you can actually come to Earth through that portal!"

Lucifer was bound to Hell and was never to leave. If he tried to escape, he would instantly get punished by their father. But this time, it was a bit different. Lucifer was not trying to escape Hell but rather, he was trying to answer the summoning spell. 

"I won't know until I try," Lucifer smirked and accepted his brother's challenge.

First, he tested the portal by poking his hand through it. Nothing happened to stop him. With a wide smile on his face, Lucifer elegantly walked through that portal.

He spread his arms blissfully as he walked on the mud and grass of Earth rather than the corroded barren land of Hell. "Well! Well! Well! What do you know? Looks like there is a loophole in father's curse on me."

Theodore was equally happy as Lucifer. He instantly reverted back to his normal form and welcomed his brother, "Welcome to Earth, brother!" He then gave an apologetic look and scratched his head, "Though I have turned the surrounding into Hell at the moment."

Lucifer cracked his knuckles and spoke enthusiastically, "Let's revert it back into the beautiful place it was then."

The King of Hell then teleported and stood in the middle of the mess that his little brother had created. He glanced at the humans and witches who were nearby.

The witches were currently healing the severely wounded guards while the other guards who weren't hurt that much were helping each other out. Some of them were preparing their fallen soldiers to be taken back to Palace.

As Lucifer was scanning the surrounding, his eyes got stuck on a young lady who had the blood of the demons smeared all over her face and her armor. He noticed how she was the only one with the demon's blood on her, meaning she was the only one who had managed to kill one.

And she was also staring back at him as if she was not believing her eyes.

Lucifer didn't think much of it and warned everyone, "Mortals, I am going to clear the area of the bodies. It would be really wonderful if you all can step away from the dead bodies of the creatures of Hell."

The mortals did as Lucifer asked, no questions asked. From the way Lucifer was carrying himself, and also considering the fact that he resembled their guardian who had saved all of them earlier, they had no reason to doubt him.

Theodore also stepped down from the pile of dead bodies and stood next to the portal.

After making sure that no one was close to the dead bodies, Lucifer did a set of quick hand movements. As he did so, his whole body began to glow with Hellfire. He slowly began to levitate in the air. His long silver hair was freely flowing behind his back. And his eyes looked like burning lava.

He then released the Hellfire on all the dead bodies and even the tiniest parts of those demons that were lying around.

"He must be the God of Fire…" one of the guards whispered to the other guard as they watched Lucifer glowing with the purest form of fire.

The mortals had never seen a fire like it before. The fire was so raw and terrifying at the same time that the mortals were scared as well as amazed by what they were witnessing.

After seeing the Hellfire, the witches were quick to guess who Lucifer really was.

The High Priestess joined her hands together and bowed down to the mighty son of God. She whispered to her fellow sisters, "We have been graced by the presence of the Devil King himself… one of the most powerful sorcerers."

The rest of the witches also bowed their heads to the ruler of Hell and the punisher of the damned.

Edwin and Raphael were standing on either side of Adeline. Raphael leaned towards Adeline and asked softly, "Is he Theodore's twin brother?"

"No, he is Theodore's older brother. But I didn't know that Lucifer looked so similar to him," Adeline whispered back while still staring at Lucifer.

Both Raphael and Edwin were shocked to hear the name 'Lucifer' because even the mortals knew that it was the name of the King of Hell.

"Did you just say 'Lucifer'? The Lucifer?" Edwin asked in a ragged whisper.

Adeline gave an awkward smile and nodded. "Yes, he is 'the Lucifer'."

Both of her brothers nearly fainted when Adeline confirmed that. They were staring at Adeline as if they had forgotten to breathe.

Edwin finally let out a sigh and said in a scared voice, "I am glad that I am on your side. I am glad that I am not your enemy."

"And so am I," Raphael added in an equally trembling voice.

Adeline almost wanted to laugh at their faces for that sudden change in their demeanor after hearing Lucifer's name.

Within a minute, everything that belonged to Hell was incinerated by the King of Hell himself.

The dead bodies vanished from the face of Earth in no time. Now all that remained from the earlier massacre were bloodstains that had splattered around and the memories of the mortals who had witnessed it.

Lucifer teleported in front of the portal again and asked his brother, "So, won't you show me around Earth before this portal pulls me back in?" He looked up at the dark clouds and said, "I want to see other colors than the same boring shades of red and black."

Theodore glanced at Lillian who was still out cold not too far away from where they were standing. Then he looked back at the expectant face of his brother and nodded, "Sure. But first, I want to introduce you to someone."

"Adeline?" Lucifer teasingly raised his brows.

Theodore simply smiled and touched Lucifer on his shoulder. Then both of them teleported in front of Adeline.

The brothers and sisters were still talking about Theodore and Lucifer, and when both of them appeared in front of them out of nowhere, their souls almost left their bodies.

Theodore gave an apologetic look to Adeline and the Princes and spoke in a soft voice, "Oh, sorry! That was very insensitive of me. All of you must have been traumatized right now."

"No! You don't have to apologize to us," Adeline gave a smile to Theodore and stole a quick glance of Lucifer.

Raphael and Edwin, on the other hand, were shamelessly staring at Lucifer as if they were enchanted by him.

Theodore softly chuckled seeing their intense gazes and then introduced Lucifer to all of them. "Everyone, this is my older brother and the King of Hell, Lucifer."

"And Lucifer," Theodore pointed at Adeline and said, "This is Adeline.." Then he also introduced her brothers, "And they are her brothers, Raphael and Edwin."
