Trapped

OK so most of you have probably reached my story on Quotev but since i haven’t really worked on the story here is the already published chapter from there.

WORD COUNT: 1.7K

Immediately you wake up from what feels like an extremely bizarre dream. Except the weight on your waist tells you otherwise. you’d think sleeping upright would leave your bones feeling groggy and gross. It really only felt like a heated blanket. The current position would most definitely be mistaken as one of intimacy with the way you’re practically laying on the Goetia. Did no one ever teach you what boundaries are. This is crazy for only just meeting but what can you do about it now.

In hell you can’t really tell the passage of time looking into the sky. The galaxy themed castle most definitely did not help.

This moment might’ve been the most comfortable that you’ve ever been in. Though pursing your lips, getting more chapped the longer your eyes adjust to being awake. it’s probably time to head back home. The only thing that could tell you how much time has passed was the lack of music booming in the background.

“Did you have a nice sleep, your highness?” Hearing the voice from merely hours previously still left you with such wonder.

“Sorry, this was probably extremely uncomfortable for you. I really didn’t mean to fall asleep on you” you snorted

“Don’t be!” he squeaked out “The party was a little overwhelming” Why was this man filled with such genuine niceness. It was definitely prevalent; he's never really had any outside interactions before. With the way he’s constantly avoiding eye contact but simultaneously staring into your eyes. “In fact I’m happy that you were comfortable sleeping with me!” well if that wasn’t the most innocent thing ever.

In fact it immediately broke you.

“HA bloody heavens are you bad at this.” you almost felt bad giggling at him.

His flushed face was so satisfying as you got up from the cloud seats.

“Well… I think it’s time to take my leave.” you stopped before even thinking anymore. “Actually, could you take me to the gates. I’m afraid i’ll be lost the minute I leave the room”

“Oh dear me, apologies for that. Right this way!” The flush now being taken over by embarrassment was such a sight to behold.

No one in hell royalty can you think of has ever been this timid. You could only assume with Paimon as his father you couldn’t blame him for stepping on eggshells. Him being a few steps ahead was very much awkward in all possible ways.

Flashing back to a few years ago when meeting paimon was not something you’re happy to have lived.

3 years ago

“Dad there really isn’t any point in us being here.” A small Charlie complained.

Heading towards a restaurant in the Pride ring in honor of Charlie’s birthday was a given. But having some princes and other minor royalty come into the picture was not on this year's bingo card.

“Yeah! you don’t even like any of these people” you shrugged looking through the window of the limousine.

Lucifer sat facing his kids with the most wicked smile. Him bringing them here was technically in honor of Charlie. But this was more of a lesson to her that her dream of redemption shouldn’t even be an option.

“You’ll have plenty of fun”

“Well well well, what fine demons you’ve brought to us tonight!” This large avian creature came out of nowhere and stood in front of you to give a small bow.

Now you weren’t any pompous freak like the rest of the nobles here at this party. But from the mocking tone of his voice and the way he held eye contact with you the entire time made your skin crawl.

“So I’ve heard you sympathize with the poor now? dreadful thing isn’t it” Paimon swooped in and connected his and Charlie’s arm to their seats at the party.

As the designated ‘grumpy pants’ you can take the cake about hating this bird.

“Actually I was more into the idea of protecting the sinners that came from earth” Charlie awkwardly whistles out.

Though Charlie’s face of discomfort only got worse by his next sentence.

“You’re a woman, don’t think too much it’s not worth the time”

With that man being the embodiment of all things bad. You’re extremely surprised at how courteous stolas came to be.

Approaching the door made you kinda not want to end this night out. Which in hindsight is really stupid. Like you barely even talked to this man but something about him had made you feel so comfortable. Looking at him it really hurts to see him like this at the celebration of his daughter.

“Thank you for coming to this party, I hope the next time you come to one of our parties that you have an even more splendid time compared to this one.” He looked embarrassed but not like when you first started talking. It felt more full of shame instead of the playful blush that you shared throughout the past few hours. Wow this really does suck. He's trying so hard to be put together even after that whole thing.

“It was my pleasure!” you excitedly exclaimed. Now taking a proper look at him. He looked so tired. A little broken the more you looked at him. “I don't think anyone actually enjoys large parties other than extremely shallow people. Well Bee-lzebub throws awesome parties, sometimes it's a little crazy but you have so much fun at them all the time. It's almost a health issue-”

Stolas chuckled looking at you.

“I'm sorry I'm rambling.” what the fuck was wrong with you. Weren't you classified as the grumpy sane one?

“Don't worry about it. Im very happy to have spent my night with you” however a person can be so fancy all the time is genuinely impressive. Maybe teasing him one last time wouldn't hurt too much.

“Well i had such a fun time sleeping with you, we should do it again sometime” the minute you said that you turned away and booked it to the limo. You kinda wished that you had stayed to take a look at his reaction but other than loving logic the most, leaving with a dramatic flare kept the un alive blood pumping.

The ride home was filled with many random thoughts.

It was really now time to unwind after that whole thing. Even if it's the supposed middle of the night. Which never really did make sense to you. Hell always had a gloomy night time effect to support the night life. As a hellbourne citizen it really never set in to what was happening half the time. It's been a long night. I know having baths too often is not good for the environment but we’re not on earth right now. They can solve their climate crisis by themselves.

“You sure took a while…” the last person you thought would greet you. Lilith Magne stood at the staircase by the front door. Her and your father never treated you like you meant anything. You were the youngest. Really the only reason you existed was if Charlie fucked up. Since recently she's been more vocal about it all, your parents have been kissing your ass in hopes you'll do something about it.

You may not follow the same morals of most of your family. Like with Charlie you probably thought she made the most sense. Because if she's allowed to mess up and get a second chance from your parents then why don't the sinners from earth get a second chance? However, what are people without impurities? If that involves killing once and a while should that really be a problem? As much as he liked to disagree, Lucifer performed an act of free will when he thought humans didn't deserve to have that.

“Uh huh that's obvious with the way that im coming into the house” You really did care about her but her pretending to care now can only get on your nerves.

“Feisty are we today? I just came to greet you because cant I worry about my own child?” the little sass from definitely wasn’t a pretty look. My dramatic flare probably came from her. She said while hugging herself in delight.

“Ok you do that, i'm going to go take a bath now. You have fun with your delusional ass.” passing by her going up the stairs.

“You know you don't have to go to those parties” words full of matter a fact emotions. “Charlotte never ever gets asked to go, you're more popular than you let yourself believe.”

“That's bullshit and you know that it is” Of course she'll be saying stupid things like this. When does she ever make sense? “You guys trap me here. Half the time I go out for Charlie is the only time that I get to go outside.”

“No one keeps you here. At least I know I don't want you here” ok harsh. Your Mom and Dad only cared about themselves. Whatever, you just kept walking up to your room.

Splashing into the hot water never felt better.

After the snoozefest of the party and then of course your mother being an actual asshole. At least the small meeting with Stolas was carrying the night.

Pop pop pop

It was so warm, maybe if you close your eyes just a bit it wouldn't hurt too much.

“You're exactly where you're supposed to be right now.” a voice whispered out.

“and what do you mean by that?” where even are you at the current moment

“Not a lot of folks typically come here but you, you are something special.” in a void this feels really weird.

“Whatever this is, this better not be one of those things where a weird dream demon tells me i'm built differently or something like that.” ok maybe you're a bit of a pessimist but that doesn't change the fact that you were right in that statement.

“You resemble the most beautiful angel that existed” ahh my dad “You're about to change many people's lives.”

“Just remember not to keep yourself trapped”

Gasping out of the water from that dream. The inability to drown is something you possess but the feeling of it is so gross.

Before leaving to your room you cant help but think about one thing

What is it with this story ending scenes with ominous ending lines?
