Chapter Three
538 Words
Satan's POV
There was a loud thump followed by
a shriek as the human slammed couple
of dusty books and pulled a chair from
the table in front of me.
After meeting her in a moving shelter,
which humans commonly call 'taxi' ,
I decided to tail her all throughout the
day. Of course, she was exasperated by
my sudden appearance, considering
the fact that only her, is allowed to lay
eyes on my amazing human form.
She was frustrated, I remember her
saying " I should have a check up. It
must be my maladaptive daydreaming
kicking in."
which baffled me while
she, subsequently, shrugged
nonchalantly and ignored my existence
since then.
Later that afternoon, I found myself
inside the state library; browsing
various uninteresting books in a
crooked shelf, while she spent the rest
of her day reading 'How to exorcise
demons.' and such.
I snapped my fingers before her eyes,
"Hey human, how long do you plan to
stay in this place?"
There wasn't any major response,
other than blinking her eyes, which
infuriated me.
I don't like this kind of places, or
atleast don't spend my time smelling
that weird scent from the books in the
old shelves or listening to that irksome
silence; nothing's entertaining here,
aside from few pairs having s*x in the
library's secluded areas,
nothing catches my attention.
"Listen here you peasant, I'm the king
of Hell and the most magnificent
creature you'll ever see. I don't dawdle
about in this kind of place so get your
ass moving and lead me to the most
sinful place in this city." I commanded,
She stopped for a moment, I thought
she'd comply to my orders.
To my surprise, she just blinked twice
and resumed reading.
In two shakes of a lamb's tail, I was
strangling her to death as she wriggled
and grabbed my arms to free her neck
from my tight grasp.
How dare she neglect my command,
I, Satan--the epitome of sin and
wickedness, ignored by a lowly human!
Her feet left the floor as I raised my
hand higher, making her hang mid-air.
"Is it fun ignoring me, b***h? You know
I can kill you in a snap, right?"
A lone tear escaped her begging eyes
that was looking at me,
perhaps pleading for me to spare her.
Which has no use because the devil
don't show mercy to creatures,
especially humans.
"Please," she cried,
Fear is evident in her face as her
trembling hand reached for mine that
was gripping her own neck.
"That face..." I paused,
I never felt this nostaglic, that feeling
I once had before I was banished from
heaven, fragments of memories came
rushing in my sea of conciousness.
Maybe that's why I followed her, she
was a spitting image of Lilith.
My beloved Lilith, the very reason I was
banished from heaven.
I backed away, releasing her neck from
my grasp. She, then, fell to the floor--
creating a loud thud.
Everyone's attention was drawn into her,
confused on why she was on the floor
and why is she gasping for breath while
staring fearfully at nothing. Tears
brimming through her cheeks,
she stared at me with horror in her
eyes.
"Lilith..."
