LITTLE DEMON

EMPTY THRONE

Asmodeus crawled with his hands and knees dragging the Stone floor. Blood smeared his lips and his dark orbs were burning in anger as he slowly made his way to the throne room where the mighty throne of Lucifer sat majestically empty.

His dark wings clinged to his sides making him look like a bird that got rained on. His naked obsidian black form glitters in the faded light of Edom and his long black hair was covered in blood that obviously doesn't belong to him.

All of the smaller demons dared not make a sound as they were afraid of being destroyed by his destructive gaze.

"I have done everything in my power to bring you home," he groaned as he approached the seat. "I have belittled myself in the realms of humans, I have sacrificed my mate to bring you home. You pushed me this far!." He yelled sending cold shivers down the spines of the other demons.

"You pushed me this f*****g far mother," he continued. "If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have lost control over the death of my mate, I wouldn't have attacked a human and provoke Heaven. And now...." He paused when he was closed enough to the throne.

"Now I'll never be able to sit on this damn throne again because of you, all because of you!." He roared loudly sending every object within the perimeter flying except the throne that didn't budge. Even some of the demons got blown.

"You don't need a chair to rule." A calm feminine voice coming from a female wrapped in gorgeous stunning dress appears from the hallway and toward him.

"What do you want Eve?."

Eve smiled and leaned closer to him. "I found something interesting."

"What is it?." Asmodeus was losing his patience, he hated Eve with passion, he would have killed her a long time ago when she stole his father from his mother. But she lead Adam to his destruction and that alone was all the revenge he needed.

"I can make you the ruler of Edom without the chair, after all it just an ordinary chair." She replied with confidence.

"That ordinary chair has the morning star's powers in it, not only that, the people of Edom would never accept a king if they do not see him on his throne with their own eyes." He gritted his teeth at the thought of not being able to even touch the chair as he will turn to ashes immediately. He could only be within five metres of the throne.

"Well.....," she moved closer to him, her lips almost touching his ears. "Aren't you curious to know what I found, Why don't you guess?." She smirked

Asmodeus knew what she was upto, her seductive powers was something no one could escape from, no one except.... Wait a minute, don't tell me.

"Don't tell me..." His voice came out as a whisper and his wings clinged more closer to his bother. The black bloods in him are running hot and his eyes became completely darker.

"Lucifer." He cursed under his breath.

"Yes, Lucifer." Eve smiled clearly not surprised he got it right. "As you already guessed Asmodeus Lucifer, your brother is still alive. But the question is, where is he?." She moved away from him and stood upright.

"If the punishment from heaven befell on you when you attacked a human, it means Lucifer did the same thing and his punishment was more severe."

Asmodeus knew Heaven punished Lucifer after his banishment, and everyone thought he died two thousand years ago, Their mother Lilith didn't take his disappearance lightly and a thousand years later she left in search of him. Lilith has always doted on Lucifer because he was her only true son. Asmodeus was born with magic and Adam's blood but Lucifer has the blood of Lilith in him making him a unique creature.

After Lucifer fell from heaven, he lost all his powers and was transformed into a baby demon. Lilith found him almost dead and she made an experiment on him with her blood building him up into the most powerful demon and they both ruled Edom before he lost control.

"Are you saying Lucifer has to die for the throne to be claimed by me." Asmodeus scoffed in annoyance. " And you think I'll stand a chance against him, even if I do kill him, mother will be sad." He was starting to boil with rage as he stood from the floor ignoring the resistance in his body.

"And who said she has to know?," Eve smarked again and stood upright. "You've been watching her for a thousand years now and she doesn't even know her own origin nor does she recognize you and I'm certain if she ever set eyes on Lucifer she would run now that she's stuck in a human's body."

Asmodeus drew his breath as he weighs his options. "What if mother regained her memories?."

Eve took two steps towards him and his wings wrapped around her, her lips were one inch away from his and he could smell her demonic scent more stronger. "Then, you'll make her believe what she refused to accept before. But before then..."

Asmodeus pulled her body closer to him, "Lucifer must die." He completed her statement and their lips crashed.
