Chapter Three
The Lady
'Carrera, what the actual fuck are you thinking?' I asked myself.
My dearest Greta told me to meet her under a bridge in Kurt Memorial Park. She said we needed to talk and even though I'm not even supposed to be out her in the daytime, I'm totally going to meet her. I cursed myself and went well out of range of the bookstore before going into an alley and teleporting to hell.
Just like how demons aren't as bad as they're described, hell isn't all that bad either. Demons only punish the sinful until they repent. Once they do, they're allowed to leave and go to heaven. Only half of hell is all fire and brimstone and whatnot. The other half is designed as a place for the demons to live when they're not working or once they retire. Most of my job took place in the residential part. Since my job was to chasten the sexually wicked, I had Lucifer expand and soundproof my basement and disciplined them there. It was an extremely fun job and usually didn't take long for them to repent. Not because my punishment was bad, they just couldn't take the role reversal. Once they stepped into my basement, I was the seme and they were my uke.
I felt bad often when I punished these women. I was being a huge hypocrite. I had gone into the dreams of and had sex with countless women. It was the source of my power. Sometimes, I didn't even want to; sometimes I had to find the nearest house and do whatever chick was in there because I was too weak to go without. I was definitely not proud of what I did.
I teleported into Hell, appearing at the front gate. It was impossible for demons to teleport directly in hell because Lucifer wanted to make sure people were doing their part. Direct teleportation to a hiding spot would make it too easy to avoid confrontation.
"Welcome back, Carrera." The gatekeeper, Arden, greeted. "You're out unusually long. And in the daytime... Something you want to tell me?"
Arden was my absolute best friend. I'd been keeping Greta a secret from him, but I knew that eventually he'd realize that something was up. I wasn't exactly sneaky.
"Arden, I've been watching over a girl." I said.
"Carrera! A human?" He asked, shocked. "Sweet Statutory, Carrera, I'm so proud. Your emotions are getting stronger."
I nodded, grimly. "Don't be proud of me, Arden." I said, "I'm in love with her."
Arden gasped and quickly looked around to see if anyone heard.
"I'm sure you're just overreacting!" He laughed loudly, then lowered his voice, "Not so loud, Carrera. Falling in love is already pretty bad, but with a human is even worse. Are you absolutely sure?"
"I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life." I said.
"Then I'm with you 100%." He said. "However, you need to go to Lucifer and tell him."
"I don't want to yet. Not until I have her love as well." I said, "When Greta returns my affections, I'll negotiate with Lucifer."
"Okay, Carrera. Be careful." Arden said, snapping, making the gate open.
I started down the diamond path that cut through Hell when a figure stood in front of me. I sighed and walked around him, continuing down the road. Lucifer, like the persistent prick he is, followed me.
"Carrera, why are you ignoring me?" He whined.
Lucifer was probably the biggest disappointment of the stereotypical hell. Satan worshipers that met him absolutely hated him. Why? Satan was about 5 feet tall. His hair was platinum blond, his eyes were big and copper colored. As if looking like he was 12 wasn't bad enough, he acted as if he was closer to 9 most of the time. He was a pretty fantastic ruler, however, who was fair, made good decisions and always did what he thought was best for the people.
"CARERRAAAAA!!" He whined again, tugging on my sleeve. "Hey, why are you still in human form?"
"Well, you're always in human form." I shot back. "Besides, I kept cutting myself on my tail somehow."
"You were out for a long time today." He pointed out.
"Yeah, I suppose." I said. "I guess it was because of the run in with the angels earlier."
"Really, what happened?" He asked.
"Just their normal instigating. You know how angels are." I said. Angels are a pain in the ass sometimes. "I took care of it, though. Pulled out the contract."
The 'contract' was referring to an agreement the angels and demons had to never make contact while on earth unless the demon was physically harming a human. I actually had run into angels earlier, but that took like 5 minutes. Nothing too time consuming, but I wasn't going to tell Lucifer that I was actually out stalking a human.
"Hmm... Okay. Did you get your job done on Earth?" He asked. "How about in Hell?"
I sighed heavily, almost growling. "I would be done if you hadn't wasted my time."
"Okay, Okay. Don't have to be mean about it." He complained. "I'll check on you later. Bye, Carrera."
"See ya, Luce."
I went to my house and straight down to the basement. The night before, three hookers had been brutally murdered and ended up here. Now they were chained to the wall in my basement. Great. The first one was an older woman; she was slightly overweight and looked to be in her mid-30's. All three prostitutes were still in their skimpy hooker outfits and wearing way too much makeup. I removed the gag from her mouth and she immediately gasped.
"Thank God, another human! You're here to save us, aren't you?" She asked.
I looked down at my clothing, realizing that I never changed back into my demon form. Shit.
"I'm afraid not." I said, "You do realize that you are dead, correct? You were murdered."
All three hookers' eyes got wide and the blonde one in the middle started sobbing. I removed the gags from their mouths and they all started to beg at once. I couldn't help smiling to myself. There was a sadist in me, even though I didn't like to show her often.
I sighed and started to transform back into a demon. The human clothing melted away leaving me completely naked except for thigh-high stilettos, my hair turned into its natural indigo color and fell over my shoulders to cover my breasts. Wings broke out of their hiding place and spread out, stretching, and horns emerged from my head. My tail broke free and curled around my leg.
"Do you want to go to heaven rather than stay in Hell?"I asked them.
