A Devil's Journey

-Vincent POV- more than 6 years ago "Come downstairs son! The whole family is here waiting for you!" Vincent stretched out on his bed and groaned. It was too early for them to all be here wasn't it? He looked toward the clock and realized it was already almost noon. The joys of sleeping in as late as you want in your teens. He got up quickly, throwing on a plain white t-shirt and a pair of jeans and made his way downstairs. As he rounded the corner of the stairs he looked up to see his entire family before him and all at once they all yelled "Happy Birthday!". He noticed a banner hanging on the wall that said "Happy 18th Birthday Vincent" and tons of gifts on the table. They really went all out this year. He reached the last step and sheepishly scratched the back of his head "thanks guys, you didn't need to do all of this". His mom stepped forward wrapping him in a bear hug, squeezing him far tighter than necessary. She finally let go and backed away long enough for him to survey the room again. Indeed, everyone was here. He smiled to himself. His family was just so good to him. The grandfather clock in the back of the room started to chime that it was noon, something it had done everyday for his entire life, but something felt strange. It felt as though things were slowing down, like he wasn't in control. He realized only one chime had occurred and his family were still as statues. He wasn't moving either, it was as if something held them all there. Suddenly, a voice boomed "I am Samael, descendant of the one dubbed Lucifer by you humans... it is now time for me to awaken!"
