Hey, Luci

Chapter Ten

Lucifer is smiling from ear to ear while walking in the corridor. He is in hell right now. He made a meeting about his Hell Island project. All of the superior demons are invited. He really wants to make his plan possible.

As usual, he came to the conference room late. All of the devil officials are present and bored waiting for him. Lucifer walked toward his desk in the middle and front of them all. And as for respect, the demons stood up and slightly bow their heads.

“Let's start,” he said.

Ukobach, his secretary moves forward and stood by his side. He took his notebook and pen out. Then, he motioned his pen in the air like he is writing and a hologram of the island appeared.

“This is the island of our king wants to be ours. At its greatest dimension, the island is 93 miles (150 km) across and has a land area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2).” Ukobach explained.

Asmodeus raises his right hand. “What is its main purpose?”

“It is for all the devils that need to stay in the human realm for days because of their missions. As you all know, demons can't be far away or can't stay in the mortal world for a long time. You will become weak and worst, you will no longer return here in hell and become ash. So as a good leader, I decided to make a Hell Island.” Lucifer answered.

Mammon raises his left hand. “What's the difference? I mean, we are still in the mortal world.”

“That’s why we have Succorbenoth. He is going to make a gate that will connect the island to hell. With my power and Ukobach’s fire, we will be able to create an atmosphere and ambiance similar to hell.” he replied confidently.

Abaddon raises his pointed finger. “That was a very good plan. Can I have my own area?”

Lucifer laughed. “Of course. Every superior demon has its own phase. With the help of Samiazas and Thamuz, my desired plans and designs can be possible.”

Ukobach waved his pen again. “Let me clear everything by showing you the possible outcome of the island.”

Everybody agreed and waited until a beautiful island appeared in front of them. It is a hologram with full details of the resort, bar, cabins, the enormous mansion on the top of the mountain, the own phase of the superior demons, and the giant tree in the middle of the island. It looks like two hugging trees with one branch and leaves because of the space between them.

“That tree will be the gate,” Luci added.

Whispers started to occur in the room. The demons are now chatting with each other, giving opinions and suggestions. Lucifer is just watching them at his desk while thinking about the mortal girl. He wakes up without breakfast and now his tummy is growling in hunger. It seems like he is now craving the few new things he experiences with the human.

“I’m on it,” Beelzebub said.

“I have no objections at all,” Belphegor added.

Then, the other agreed one by one. The king feels satisfied with what he has done. He knew that they will be happy and excited about his ideas so, he is expecting these reactions.

“So I guess, this meeting is now adjourned,” Luci said.

“Thank you, everyone.” Ukobach bowed.

The demons exited the conference room and so as their Lord. The King together with Thamuz, Succorbenoth and Semiazas teleported in the Hell Island. They appeared in the air, right above the mountain.

Devils are busy building and making Lucifer’s plan. Because of their numbers, the Hell Island can be possible in two remaining days. With the help of Semiazas, the chief of all the demon guards and fallen angels, the hard and impossible ideas of the King can be made. Plus, Thamuz and the demon of gates are there to lend a hand too.

Seeing that everything is okay, Lucifer vanished without any words. He appeared in the mortal girl’s bedroom. But this time, he decided not to show himself to her. So, he sit at the window and looked outside. But, his eyes goes back inside when he heard the door being opened. Then, he gulped and become stiff when he saw the girl dripping wet. Lucifer tried to look away but failed. He is now watching the innocent girl roaming around her room naked.

Shairelyn is a small girl. She is skinny yet sexy. Her breast is perfect in her small figure matching with her long black hair. She has a white skin complex that looks so soft and smooth. All in all, she is a fragile little thing.

“Holy f*cking crap!” Luci growled.

  The Demon King can't resist the girl’s charm. So, in able to control himself, he jumped out of the window. Lucifer landed well in front of their small bakery. He saw her mother happily assisting all the customers. The two brothers are busy fixing their fence, gate, and front yard. Then, an imaginary light bulb appeared on his head.

Shairelyn is done fixing herself. She is applying some powder in her face when she heard her brother calling from the living room downstairs. She hurriedly went down and saw Seth’s frowning face.

“What happened?” She asked.

“We have a lot of customers and we are running out of bread. You need to hurry!” Seth answered.

Shairelyn nodded and run towards the kitchen. She readied all of the ingredients and tools in baking. Seth is there to help too. This is unusual. In their several days in selling, this scenario never happened. They always have some bread left too. But, today, they are running out of stocks all of a sudden.

Lucifer is comfortably sitting on the roof in front of the Gosimo’s residence. He is watching them as he continues waving his hand to get all of the passing people to have the urge to buy in their small bakery. His eyes can see the little commotion inside the house too. He uses his power to see things even behind a thick wall.

He needs an escape from his desires. So, he thought that giving problems can push his lust away. For a demon, it is very unusual to have different urges for mortals. Especially, he is the King of the Underworld. Lucifer can't accept it and continue to deny it.

Shairelyn and Seth joined forces are not enough. They triple their works and give all their efforts and very best to make everything as fast as they can.

“We need more donuts!” Sian yelled.

“Wait a minute! Coming up.” Seth shouted back.

The Demon Lord cant feel the satisfaction of his masterpiece. He can see their struggles and can feel their tiredness. But none of them are willing to give up. Instead of violent reactions, smiles are visible on their faces.

“Why the hell are they smiling?” Luci grunted.

No demons can understand the unique behaviors and traits of humans. Devils only knew sufferings, desperations, and many more evil deeds. The Gosimo Family is not upset or angry. Instead, they are thankful. They may be struggling but they are happy. This scenario considers them as a blessing, not a problem.

Lucifer stopped playing people’s minds. So, the nonstopped customer has now ended. The King is not satisfied with the outcome that he made. He is expecting that the Gosimo Family will be devastated and exhausted. But, the opposite happened.

Shairelyn is now on her bed. Her brother, Seth, told her to rest and he will do the rest. The huge wave of customers is now gone and went back to normal again. She is breathing heavily and her sweats are all over her body.

“Human.”

She heard a familiar voice so, she pushed herself up to sit. Shairelyn saw the devil sitting on her window. He is like a model in his pose.

“Hey, Luci,” she said sweetly.

Lucifer sighed. “Did you enjoy the commotions earlier?”

Shaire’s eyes grew wide as the realization hits her. So, he is the one behind that big wave of customers.

“You did that?” She asked.

The King nodded and looked at her. “Yes.”

Lucifer is hoping that the girl will be angry. He wants her to curse and yell at him. So, he looked at her intently. Shocked is written on her face. The King flashes his evil smirked and stood up. But, his body became as solid as a stone when the girl throw herself in him for a hug.

Shairelyn thought that the scenario a while ago is a blessing. She never thought about it being a burden and a problem. They are thankful because they can save a lot of money through that. So, instead of being angry at the devil in front of her, she thought that he is a lucky charm. Shaire runs toward him and throws herself to him for a hug.

For a devil that is way thousands of years stranded in a world of fire, this is new to him. He may be receiving hugs from his co-demons but, he never felt these strange feelings. Lucifer can't move and his breathing stopped. His heart beats so fast and a tingling sensation eats his whole system.

“Thank you!” Shaire whispered.

That words. He keeps hearing those words multiple times but, when it comes to that girl, he can't get over it. He feels like it's some kind of holy word that can lift his soul up.

Shairelyn composed herself and moved away to the devil. She can feel his stiffness and be uncomfortable with her. Then, she looked at him and saw him staring darkly at her. Shaire feels the shrivers into her spine and the fear that started to grow in her system. The fact that he is the King of the Underworld is now sinking in her head.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

Despite being uneasy, Shairelyn smiled. “I am thanking you for being a blessing in disguise to us.”

Lucifer frowned. “I am not.”

The girl nodded. “Yes, you are. I don’t care if you are a demon. For me, you are my lucky charm.”

A thousand voltages of electricity charge strike at Lucifer’s body. His heart stopped beating and he cants move. His mind has a whirlpool of emotions and questions that he can't figure out. He needs space. Luci feels like he is in a closed box with no air.

“Why?” He mumbled.

“First, my unfortunate days turned into something because of you. If you didn’t let that truck hits the store, my family can't have the bakery right now. I probably didn’t think about making our own business. Second, you gave us a lot of customers today. That can help us to save a lot of money. Therefore, I consider you as my lucky charm and not as a demon.” the mortal girl answered.

The Demon King is so flattered and couldn’t react properly. So, he do what he thought is the right thing to do, disappear.

After Lucifer vanished, Shairelyn sighed and feel relieved. She feels uncomfortable and awkward towards the devil. She can't hide her shyness and her sweet side whenever he is around. In an instant, she feels like a complete teenager girl who has a crush on a boy.

On the other hand, Thamuz and Semiazas are busy doing their jobs in Hell Island when their boss arrived. Lucifer is beaming and glowing as he slowly lands on the ground. The two demons looked at each other with the same reactions on their faces.

“What’s the matter, Lucifer?” Thamuz asked.

“What happened?” Semiazas chimed in.

Luci smiled at them. “I am a lucky charm.”

Semiazas frowned. “A lucky charm?”

“What is that?” Thamuz asked.

“Lucky charm! You two don't know what lucky charm is?” their boss giggled.

The two demons choose to shut their mouth. If they keep on asking and talking with their boss, they probably don't have anything useful conversations.
