The Demon's Soul

Chapter 72 Sin- Part 2

"We’ll be leaving now and it would be fantastic if you took the bodies along with you if you kill anyone in the future," Luke said sarcastically.

"Awe, you guys are going? I wanted to show Lilly my few prized collections," he said with a child like a pout.

Collections? I sure didn’t feel like staying here any longer as this guy gave me bad vibes.

"Thanks to you we didn’t have a good night of sleep. Now if you’ll excuse us, old man," Luke said as we began heading towards the main exit and heard Lucifer yell,

"I have presents for you guys!"

"We don’t need it," Luke sang merrily and rolled his eyes, "You can take your presents and shove it up your ass."

Once we were back to the vampire land, Dozer was the first one to run ahead of us towards the castle as he yipped on the way. As we began walking, I saw the sky was less dark here compared to the hell one with an inky blue color.

I noticed that Luke hadn’t let go of my hand, not that I minded it, instead I found it comforting. Glancing towards him, I wondered if the coronation had anything to do with his appearance now.

"What did he gain by making you commit a sin?" I asked as we stepped into our room.

"There are different level of sins to be considered. By making me sleep with another woman and kill the human after that brought me direct ticket to hell," he said as I gaped at him. He killed the woman after sleeping with her? "A tainted soul can also be untainted with good deeds, at times that is. My father made sure if I ever died I had no way but to go to hell. To be short he wants to swap positions."

"You mean he wants to be the vampire king and you the hell king," I said smiling, "He wants to be with your mother, that’s romantic you know."

"Whatever," he said taking off the black cloak. Since the time he came back from where ever he had gone in hell, he seemed a little irritated.

"Was he the one who dropped me on the street that night my dad found me?" I asked and he nodded with a ’yeah’. Knowing Luke for so long, I knew he hadn’t asked for his father’s help to search for Alos, not that there was a guarantee that he would help us with that.

I saw Luke pull out his shirt, one hand pulling the material behind his back showing his muscled back as it flexed and the scar on it.

Taking the title of the king of vampires, he looked more mature and handsome than before. I was married to a gorgeous man who loved me dearly, who was also the heir to the hell world.

When he turned around and our eyes met, the time stood still. I could feel my heart flip in my chest as he stared at me, taking slow leisure steps toward where I sat.

"I’m not letting you go this time," he said as his hands brushed away my hair near my neck.

"I-I’m not going anywhere," I stammered as I felt blood rush to my face.

"I know," he sat on the bed in front of me, his hand quick to go around my waist to pull me making me stumble and place my hands on his shoulders, "This time I’ll keep you safe next to me, last time you left but this time I won’t leave you,"

I felt his breath on my neck, feeling it tingle on my skin.

"Are you a-alrig ah-" I gasped feeling his lips on my neck as he dragged it up tortuously slow. Finding my ear, he bit the lobe making me shudder.

"Lillian," he whispered huskily in my ear, "Don’t you think we missed something?" he asked placing a gentle kiss on the bite before pulling back to look at me with a smoldering look in his eyes.

"Missed?" I asked feeling my uneven breath and he nodded to say,

"We need to kiss to seal our marriage vows," and with no further due our lips touched each other’s while tongue sought the other.

Unlike the previous kiss we shared, this one was tender and sweet, as if he was taking his time to love me. My toes curled at the feeling and I could do nothing but let my heart pound.

"You must be tired. Sleep now, Lillian," he said pulling back after the kiss and got up to take a shower.

I felt my head back hit the bed and yawned feeling worn out. After some time I was woken up feeling the bed dip and arms pulling me close to a warm chest.

"Goodnight my beloved," I heard him whisper before I drifted off to sleep.

Marc’s POV:

I got back inside the room with Rick and Sam after looking at the dead bodies that were lying on the ground, which was scary as hell.

Lilly and I had seen her get buried but why would she turn up alive again? Life in this dimension sure was a mystery to me, I thought.

"Vampires have strange customs," Rick said going to the bed and plopping on it, "Black gowns, marriage in a graveyard, dead bodies at the end of it," he commented with a sigh.

"At least there weren’t any bodies that popped out of the ground," Sam laughed thinking about it, "I’m glad she’s happy and safe," he added and we nodded our head in agreement.

Pulling out my phone, I played the song Dance the night away to liven up the room. Soon we heard a small knock on the room and we looked at each other in question.

Sam being the nearest to the door opened the door to find Julie standing with her stuffed toy Mr. Bear in her hand which I believe was dragged on the floor.

"Hello cutie, aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?" Sam asked her.

"I woke up for water and heard music," she said making both my friends look at me flatly.

"I’m sorry, I’ll tone it down," I said but she shook her head.

"Is it okay if I sleep here please?" the little girl asked, "My room is lonely," she said.

"Sure come on in," Sam said letting her in and I had to stop the music to a complete silence. We all went to sleep right away after that.

In the middle of the night, I heard some creaking sound abruptly waking me from my sleep and I looked towards the door annoyed. Turning around, I saw that everyone was soundly sleeping and Rick snoring lightly.

Another creak was heard and I narrowed my eyes. Getting up I walked to open the door but found no one there. A distant howl was heard making all the drowsiness wash out of my head which my sensitive ears picked up.

Going to the window, I looked outside and found the ground clear. A small smile made up my lips and I looked at my hand, letting the nails come out.

"X-men, Wolverine!" I exclaimed excitedly.
