The Demon King

CHAPTER 14

Rose's POV

I was getting ready so Damien and I could go around his kingdom for a tour. Even though, I didn't want to stay here another second. I couldn't stop the excitement bubbling in me. I really wanted to know how hell actually is, and how different it is from our imagination of it.

Carol was asleep, she really needed this rest. Her fever had got down a bit, but not much. As for Tyler, he is God knows where. That boy is sticking with Blake like glue. He adapted to this change like it was a everyday thing to occur.

But, I am happy for him. If he wants Blake and is okay with all this, than I have no problem. What I really need to focus on is getting Damien off my back and keeping that son of b***h away from carol.

I was just braiding my hair, when there was a knock on the Door.

"Come in." , I spoke loud enough for the person on the other side of the Door to listen.

The door was slowly opened and Damien entered. 

"Are you ready, love?", he asks.

I throw him an annoyed look , when he says love. He just grins at me.

"Yeah." 

He takes my Hand and leads me to the Door. I yank my hand out of his and glare at him.

"No touchy-touchy." , I say.

He just pouts and walks out the Door, I roll my eyes and follow him.

We reach the main door of his magnificent castle and he suddenly stops, causing me too bump into his back.

"Oww." , I mutter while rubbing my nose.

"Sorry, love." He purposely says love again to annoy me.

"Why did you stop?", I ask him.

He looks at me seriously and says,

"Promise me you won't try to run. Promise me." 

"I promise. It's not like I know my way around here.", I grumbled.

He just smirked and grabbed my hand, leading me out. For the first time ever, I see how actually hell looks like.

Woah!

It is nothing I had expected. It's sky is light red color. It looks beautiful. We are standing outside the castle, and I turn around to see how the castle looks from the outside.

It is magnificent. It looks stunning. It looks so beautiful that I can keep going on expressing its beauty, the whole day.

"So love, are you just gonna gawk at the surrounding? Or are you gonna come with me?", Damien says with stupid cocky smirk on his handsome face. 

I am not sure how I wanna wipe that smirk off his face, by slapping it off or kissing it?--wait what am I thinking ? That man over there is possessive gorilla who kidn*pped me. I cannot think like that.

I need to think of something else...

cakes,

pizza,

twilight,

color,

monkey,

gorilla,

Damien.

Ugh!I can't get him out of my mind.

I shake my head and follow him, a long limo is infornt of us. I am so surprised right now. My eyes must be the size of two golf balls.

"You travel in a limo? Don't you have those carriages and stuff?", I was super confused.

He lived in a castle. He was a king. But he travelled by a car?I mean shouldn't he have like 100 soldiers with him right now and he should be on a horse or something like that. Isn't it how it works?

"Seriously? Just because I am over 400 years old does not mean I do not keep up with modern technology. I like to travel in a car, plus in hell cars are super fast. Like on earth, a car's highest speed will be normal speed for us on the roads."

"Your over 400 years old! I am mated to a grandpa!"

"I will throw you over my shoulder and take you to the bedroom, and show you how much of a grandpa I am if you don't get in the car this instant.", he growled with his eyes as dark as night.

I grumbled under my breath and sat in the car, oh and my stupid mate was a real gentleman to open the Door for me. How sweet. Not.

We were going really fast and I was literally hugging my seat belt, like my life depends on it. While Damien was just whistling and staring out the window. The audacity!

"TELL HIM TO SLOW DOWN! I AM HUMAN YOU i***t!", I scream at the oblivious fool.

"Oh s**t! Sorry...forgot.", he says while smiling sheepishly at me as he tells chauffeur to drive slowly.

Now that I am not thinking of the bile that was rising in my throat and how fast we were going. I look out the window. Hell is pretty clean and organized. It would be just like earth , except that the sky is light red and everything here is in dark colors.

Instead of buildings and houses, there are mansions. Beautiful mansions. Though they are only in colours like black, red and grey, but I still think everything here looks nice. At least this i***t knows how to manage a kingdom.

"They look beautiful. Does everyone in hell live in mansions?", I ask.

"No, not everybody. This is the city of old souls. Right in front of our castle is this city. That is why it is neat and organized. The city of old souls are souls who died and came in hell. They went through their punishment and torture for all the bad things they did, and now they can live peacefully with their mates. They are the only ones who can seek my permission and go to earth if needed. They are called old because they have spent a lot of years in hell. It takes a soul to pay for their sin minimum 900 years. So, that is why those who passed that phase live a happy life.", he explained to me.

I was amazed by this city. Plus, there were probably a zoo formed in my stomach when he said our castle. I need to remember; NO FALLING FOR THIS OVERGROWN GORILLA.

"But where do those souls go who are still paying for their sins?", I ask curiously while tilting my head to the side.

He just smiles at me before answering me.

"They go to the land of the forgotten. It's a place far away from here. We usually only bring the worst souls to the dungeons of the castle. The rest go there."

"Oh. So...where are we going right now?", I ask him.

"We are going to see my hounds first."
