the castle. It’s hard to get past that wall. “

“So do we just walk into a strip club and ask for a job?” Nina asked, arching an eyebrow.

Arthena shrugged then smiled, “I already have a job, but lets go Nina, we need to get you a job.”

They walked down into the city, there was a guard blocking their path it was a hellhound. “Robert…what are we going to do…” Nina whispered ducking behind him.

“Just stay behind me, and don’t move.” Robert whispered over his shoulder.

The hellhound snarled at them, foaming at its mouth it inhaled their scents slowly; its eyes rolled back into its head then back out again.

“Nina started to pull out her gun, then Arthena looked at her and shook her head, the hellhound came closer to Robert and sniffed his clothes, Nina held her breath the hound backed down and allowed them to pass into the city. Once they went around a corner, Nina let out her breath, “How are we going to get past the demons, without them picking up my scent?”

“Well, vampires are able to give off strong scents, which can cover up yours. So others will believe you are a vampire. As long you stay close to him, you’re good. Or I can shadow you, so make it seem like you are a ghost.”

“How do we know if he is even…alive?” Nina asked, in a whisper.

Robert messed with her hair, “Don’t worry, his father wants him alive…more or less.”

“To the club, I will suppose?” Nina asked, looking over at Arthena.

“Actually, now I think of it. You are a bit to innocent to handle it.”

Nina made it so only four inches separated them, “I can do anything better then you.”

“Then prove it.” Arthena flashed an evil look in her eyes and spun around and walked towards the club.

“You sure, you want to do this?” Robert asked, looking down at Nina knowing the clubs in Hell could get rough.

“Yeah, someone needs to teach her a lesson. So I might as well show her, she isn’t all that.”

Before Robert could stop her, Nina stomped after Arthena into one of most famous and blood covered club. Ambrose Lounge.

 

The entryway came out onto a balcony, it overlooked the club it had loud metal playing, some mash pits where going on down on the dance floor. A casino to the left, some bathrooms or private rooms on the top half.

On a stage there were some strippers that were naked completely, seducing some who came to watch them.

Nina searched around, furiously trying to search for Arthena. “Nina, remember you need to stay close to me. If not, they will paint this room red!” Once Robert finished that sentence Combichrist Red started blasting through the speakers. 

Then spotlights flashed onto the stage where the strippers were and in the center, there was Arthena she wore fishnet tights, a black bra with small spikes on it, she wore black underwear. She danced on the pole, seducing the audience.  Even Robert felt himself getting erotic from watching her and the way; her skin glowed in the spotlight. She took off, the underwear and tossed it into the audience, she danced over to a coffin and sat on it. She did the splits, making some demons in the crowd wanting to have her in their bed. Arthena then took off her bra; she was a natural at seducing others. “She is good.” Robert whispered.

“She is a hooker, now let’s ask around if anyone has seen him.” Nina said, walking down the stairs and staying away from the crowds, Robert chased after her knowing  this wasn’t going to end well.

A demon that wore a black suit, horns on his head, bat wings, a half melted face, one of his eyes was oozing out some kind of liquid, he was about 5’7 feet tall, and he had a deadly look in his eyes.

“Sir, I need to ask you a question.” Nina said, trying to make her voice firm as she could.

The demon looked down at her, then saw Robert, “Oh hey, Robert. When did you arrive here?”

He had a woman under each wing; he had a beer and sipped it then flashed his teeth at Nina.

“Just got in few hours ago, we need a place to stay. Not really high class, due to Ayperos arrival. Security is higher then it has been. If they see my newest minion, they may ask questions.”

The demon studied Nina he seemed to be trying to sniff her from a distance, “She’s a vampire?”

Robert nodded, “Yes she is still turning. Now may we sit down?”

The demon gestured for the women to leave, and Robert sat down keeping Nina close to him, “So you say Ayperos has returned? Won’t the King throw some large party to celebrate his return?”

“Most likely, but why are you coming to me?” The demon asked, arching an eyebrow.

Robert shrugged, “It’ll be a invitation only, you’re the king of party. Mind getting us in there?”

“I’ll see what I can do, and a place for you and your hookers to stay. Hm I do have a old townhouse in the slum part of the city. Here you go.” The demon said, pulling a key out of nowhere and tossing it to Robert, he caught it in mid air.

“Number is 667s.” The demon grinned winking at Nina.

Robert got up, and led Nina out of the club; even outside you could still hear the heavy bass.

“Should we wait for Arthena?”

“Nah, she is a witch remember. They can be cunning.”

They walked down to the slum area, where a lot of the residents were homeless, or lived in a crappy house. This part of the city, had a Victorian look, with broken windows, some demons were trying to keep warm next to a pile of dead bodies that was on fire. Nina looked at the ugly creatures that watched her like a cat watching a laser pointer.

“I think they’re going to kill us…” Nina whispered under her breath. Robert leaned down to her, “Just don’t make eye contact…we just need to lay low.”

They slowly walked on the sidewalk, and they arrived at an old brick townhouse, one of the windows was sealed up with boards. There were three stairs going up to it.

Robert unlocked the old door, the lock was really rusty and looked like it was going to fall off. He gently pushed it open, and they were greeted by the smell of rotting food and bodies, the furniture was old and the house seemed like it was falling apart.

“I’ll search around, or see if I can get a sitting with Brent. Since he is trapped probably in the castle, I can’t really walk in, now just stay inside and wait for Arthena.”

Before Nina could respond, Robert had walked outside and there was a lock so she couldn’t try and run off.

“I want to help!” Nina pounded on the door, Robert punched the door making her jump back.

“Shut up, be quiet…” Robert snarled under his breath. Then he walked away, the opposite way of the castle. He had other motives to come to Hell, other then saving his friend.

He was saving himself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I felt numb everywhere or if everything was asleep, I could barely open my eyes and keep them up. I saw I was laying in a white room, which looked like a hospital room. The room was dark, only with one ray of light. I finally had the strength to open my eyes and keep them up.  I had an oxygen mask on, as if I needed that piece of crap on my face. Then I turned my head to the right, my right arm was cut off of me, and laying on a bedpan. What the hell happened, when I tried to sit up something restricted me there were chains keeping me from moving.

“Well someone is awake.” Dmitri said, sitting in a chair reading some old spell book.

I narrowed my eyes at him, “What the hell happened to my damn arm!”

He pulled the book down from his face, “Chill, that little scientist fixed up your metal arm. So he got your father permission, to slice off your regular arm.”

I stared back at my arm; it laid there like a dead rat, my eyes drifted to the metal arm. It was silver, with a hook on the underside; it had some elegant claws where my fingers used to be, and some demonic markings that glowed a green color. On the forearm, it looked more like a scale pattern and with sharp spikes on it that were half an inch, and curved outwards. “Where am I? Why are you here?’

Dmitri shrugged and turned a few pages, “Well, you are in the infirmary. I’m here to make sure the surgery was successful.”

“Why, am I chained!” I snapped, trying to break the chains.

Dmitri placed the small leather book on the end table, “Since, your father knew you would wake up and try and kill me. Plus your new arm will be get used to your body in no time. “

He stood up, and walked over to the mangled up arm, “damn, you didn’t feel a thing?”

“No, someone knocked me out, I have no idea what they used on me…” I groaned trying to even move my fingers of my good arm.

“Good drugs, it keeps you from using any of your demonic powers for couple hours.”

So I am weak as a crippled human, fantastic.

“I suppose there wont be world domination for awhile, since I am drugged up.” I said, with a cocky grin on my face.

“Lucky break, but I’m off to train my army.” Dmitri said, winking at me then leaving me alone in the recovery room. He was going to be in an invasion, and he knew him and me would be working closely most likely.

 

I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the metal arm it was filled with power. It would be even more powerful since Ayperos isn’t to far from the surface now.  I let my eyes close for few moments, and then I heard some slow clapping coming from the door. I knew whom that belonged to, Satan. I opened my eyes and narrowed them onto that scumbag.

“Well I see you’re recovering well from the little improvement.” Satan said, picking up my old right arm and started to picked off the skin like petals on a flower. Then he looked down at me, “I think you look better with that new arm. Now I give you permission to be in Hell. But I closed all the Hell Gates are closed until you become King of Hell. So don’t think you can escape.”

He walked out of the room filled of grace, letting his long dark blue cape flow in the air even if there was not a breeze.

I sighed, pushing myself up off the bed and walked over to a mirror there I was.

Wearing my black tailcoat, a dark leather vest on under with a black shirt on under that, black jeans with a chain hanging from a pocket, I had serious short bed hair, I had some light facial hair growing on my chin and around my mouth, how long had I been passed out. It didn’t matter, I couldn’t really shave it off, and it was another thing part of the demon inside me. He could adjust the human appearance and attitude, as he wants.

“Well you look terrible.” Rose said, walking in. She wore a long black flowing dress, she had a red choker on her hair was up in a high ponytail.

“Ah Rose, so we are cousins.” I leaned on the dresser and crossed my arms. I pulled my coat over to try and cover the new arm.

“Yeah, somewhat odd you didn’t find out until now.”

I remember what The Great One told me, I got a small grin on my face, “So let’s see if I understand correctly. In the beginning there were three. The Devil, The Dark One aka a witch, and possibly an angel. So if
