Hellborn

See you tomorrow!" Vaspera said as she walked out of the restaurant. It was late and she sighed. She couldn't bring herself to go back to that house.

But she knew she had nowhere to go. Long ago, she had been happy with her mom and her dad. Before her dad died during a fire accident.

Her mom had to move down to Florida, to start afresh. She remembered meeting the man her mother later married. He had bought her gifts and played with her. He always makes her feel safe and happy.

Two years after marrying her mother, he started abusing her. She could remember her mother asking her to go to her room and lock the door after he came back from work. She could hear her mother's screams, every time he hits her while they fight.

She sighed as tears threatened to fall. Closing up the windows, she carried her bag and stepped out.

She felt the cold chill of the night on her face and smiled. Looking at the busy night and people strolling, some with their partner and most of the people alone checking their phones, their faces filled with contentment and a sense of peace around her. she always yearned to be like them. She called a cab and gave him the direction of her home.

No

She is lucky she got more tips today. She has been saving money to pay for college In the city he won't find her. That's even if he will ever know until she gets there safely.

Smiling as the thought gave her hope. She soon got to her house and the dark pouch confirmed that he was not home.

She could use the little peace she gets before he comes back and brings hell on her.

She quickly took a bath, used to the cold water since she couldn't afford paying the heater bills. After bathing, she wore her long free, horrible-looking gown, which she bought a year before. It had always made her safe. Setting the table for his arrival, she sent a silent prayer to her boss, Mrs.

Donald who always makes sure she has free lunch and packs Enough for the both of them.

Silently, she ate her food. Checking on the old phone she had bought back in high school, she checked if she had any emails from the college she had applied to. Most of them were rejection emails. She sigh and continued eating.

She went back to her room after eating and lay on her bed. He had removed the door one night when she tried to use it to push him so he wouldn't enter. He had kicked the door not minding that she was at the back and had sent her flying.

She remembered he had pounced on her, his meaty hands grabbing her breasts and squeezing them roughly while he was grinding against her. Thankfully he was drunk enough to think he was having sex with her. But it only got worse from that day.

She had felt so used and scared but she was too young to go anywhere. A thirteen-year-old whose mother had died six months before, she was still grieving. She sighed as the memories she had always wanted to stay buried, start to come to the surface.

She started to drift to bed when she had a plate clashed. She jumped from the bed and hurried out. She saw him cursing at the plates as he got up. Staggering as he did so, he yelled her name. Vaspera! Fucking cunt! He called." Taking a deep breath she head towards him

" Here I am Dave" he had told her not to call her father anymore.

" Clean that up, you bitch" he snapped. leaving her while he went to his room.

She bent down and started picking the shreds of plates that were scattered on the ground. Quickly grabbing a mop, she cleaned the water on the floor.

Soon she heard the heavy snore and sigh. She rushed down to her room and hopped into bed .. hoping the night would go well.

She had dressed up and was about to leave when he came to the living room looking so haggard and smelly. In his hands were blunt and a bottle of drink. She took in his appearance and held her breath..she pitied him..." He would never survive without her " she thought.

" Where is my breakfast?" He asked looking around. She was confused but decided to reply to him " I didn't make one, there is no food in the house, and you didn't drop any money," she said quietly. She backed up to the door so she could open it whenever she got the chance.

Her mother had picked a house so far from the other houses and they were surrounded by bushes. She told her so she could have a lot of space to play in nature.

Before she could open the door, he had grabbed her shoulder, yanking her back into the house and slapping her with the other hands

She gasped and staggered, trying to find her balance. " What did you say?" He asked while gritting his teeth" You stupid both, you stay in my home, and you tell me I don't have food in the house?" You are ungrateful and stupid" Marching to where she now stands, he grabbed her by the hair, dragging her further into the house.

She tried not to react and just let him drag her but he tightened his hands while still screaming that she was an ingrate.. he faced her now and kicked her across her middle.

She fell and lay there. Knowing if she begged she'll just make it worse. He loves hearing her beg for mercy, while he tells her he won't have mercy on her.

She lifted her hands to shield her face, knowing this was the only way she could defend herself. He kept kicking her frantically shouting why he should have sold her some years ago after her mother died.

She wanted him to stop but he didn't stop, he kept beating and kicking her until she was on the verge of passing out. Her body throbbing with pain, tears poured from her eyes as she lay Waiting for the next act of violence.

She could hear the sound of his belt coming off she knew what would come next. She closed her eyes, accepting her fate, but she couldn't no longer continue like this." No, Not today" her inner mind screamed.

She felt him widening her legs to make space for himself and started fighting him off. His hands struck her cheeks and her pendant came undone.

She could feel her core boiling with some unseen force, something stronger and hotter

Letting out a powerful scream, Al went loose, she opened her eyes when she heard him screaming in agony and the sound. of burning flesh rang in her ears. She noticed a fire burning everywhere but the surprising thing was that she didn't get burnt, instead, she saw her hands burning with fire as it caressed her like a gentle lover.

She stood up, noticing how strong and Clear head she was. Remembered she saved her money in her room. She hurried went in and took the money and ran out of the house.

She didn't stop until she got to the bus stop where she took a bus, not minding where was going.

The noise in the restaurant she works with Nancy made her feel alive and relaxed.

It has been four peaceful months. Four months that the fire happened. She shook her head as she picked up the tray, ready to give to the customer she was to serve.

She walked slowly towards the table, relief that she is now free. She not going to live like that anymore.

" Hey! Hurry up woman" the two men whom she had taken their order shouted. She smiled even though she wanted to tell them to fuck off.

She passed the table of two men, who only ordered earlier but their ever eyes were on her every move. Men, they only think with their third legs. If only they know she could led them to their death, they won't try anything with her.

She dropped the tray at their table and was about to leave when the short one placed his hand on her butt, rubbing it while saying" you know, we could have a nice time together, when are you getting off?"

She felt sick and her head started to get dizzy. She could feel sweat on her forehead as she told him" Get your hands away from me"

The panic setting in, she squeezed her eyes shut, trying to gain control herself. " Please not again " she thought to herself.

" I could make your life better, just come with me and we could have some fun, you are too pretty to be such a prude" the man laughs as he said. His front hand was now holding the helm of her apron. The other man laughs as he licks his lips.

" Get your fucking hands off her if you value your life" someone said from her back. The voice sounds deep, yet commanding, she did not understand how someone commands such power through words. She turned and saw one of the men she had served earlier. His neck tattoo, looks like a scorpion, coming out from his jacket.

The man harassing her scoffs and said. "she is my girlfriend mate, just a joke between us right babe?" He said looking at her daring her to say no.

She took a deep breath and said" No, I don't know you, so please just eat your food and leave " he had released her so she stepped back but stumbled backwards into the man that helped her

" Be careful Princess, you okay?" He asked looking down at her. She stared at his dark eyes, she had never seen such eyes before, they were dark and looks like they had rings of fire in them.

She nodded and let out a squeaking " thank you " hurrying out to the kitchen where she can calm her racing heart. She could hear his chuckles as she hurried past him.

She closed the shop and went to meet Nicole up front. She was glad the police beloved her when she was questioned and asked where she was when the fire happened.

She remembered telling them that she had gone to Nicole early that morning to treat her wounds where he had beaten her the night before.

Nicole testified to this and told them she advised her to go for a check up at the hospital.

"What should we do tonight? Nicole asked. Typing away on her phone.

" Sleep?" She suggested. Nicole looked at her and scoffed. " Of course, I know you will say that, we are going out, for fun, you need to live a little.

They got home and got dressed and went to the bar

INFERNO. One of the elite bar in town was busy as usual, of course this is Nancy's style, coming from a rich family and being a trust fund child. Her grand father had left some properties in her name.

She found a good sport for them at the back and led her there.

She could hear the music from the club on the second floor and looked around seeing everyone drinking and chatting with their friends.

Nancy had gone to get them some drinks and looking at the long queue, she won't be back for a while.

She sigh and rubbed her hands together. Soon Nancy came back with some drinks and after a while, they both got shit faced.

Dragging to themselves to the upper floor to dance, while giggling and tipsy, they started dancing with each other, Nancy, later found some one else to dance with while she said she want to sit a little.

She got a stool from the mini bar and requested a sweet drink.

Soon a man came to sit with her . " hello sexy" he said, smilling at her. She looked at him and smiled politely with a nod of her head.

" having a great time?" he said while trying to put his hand on her tight. " yes I am and don't do that." She said eying his hand. " what? I am just trying to be nice." He said.

" leave me alone, I don't want nice" she sneered at him. Taking a sip of her drink. The man leaned him and said " I will have you hotcake." He licked his lips and left. She shook her had and took a gulp of her drink.

She starts to feel hot and wanted to leave the dance floor. She signaled to Nancy that she is going outside and starts to leave.

She got to the bar and looked around, she noticed two men their back turned to her. She saw smoke coming out of one and the other ashes. She shook her head and thought" great. From burning people now am seeing things" she said. She found a chair and sat down.

Soon the man who was bothering her walked past her and smirked. She rolled her eyes but felt a sharp pain and cringed. She began to slow and she began to feel dizzy. She need to get out of her.

Picking her purse. She sent a text to Nicole. " I am going home, not feeling too good". She staggered outside and started walking out. Soon she noticed that the man and two other men were following her. She started to panic. She started to run. Soon she turned and got into an alley.

The men blocked the entrance and laughed.

" No where to run now hotcake." The man who wanted to have a conversation with her earlier said.

" what do you want?" she snarled. Bending over and holding a wall for support

" you... I want to taste you" he said walking over to her and she moved back. Tears fell rapidly and she began to panic. " help" she tried to scream but the word could not come out. The man now at her front laughed again and dragged her hair " we are going to have so much fun then I will pass you to the boys. " facing the boys he said" you guys can take her home after I get a taste.. she ll be out after am done." The men laughed and rubbed the front of their pants.

" please don't, I don't want to kill you.donr do this" she said panicking. Her body shaking and she tried yanking his hand from her breast. He slapped her across the face and she fell back. " boys come and hold her." They rushed forward and held her arms. One put his hand over her mouth. While the man kicked her legs wider. " you ll love it. I will be gentle...if I can ever be" he said putting his hands to tear her panties.

She screamed, suddenly she felt the fire from her core, she welcomed it and gave herself to the fire. The shout of the men were laud but was like music to her ears. She stood up, full of power and strength. She rushed at the man running away and grabbed him by the neck.

" this will be your last try" she said as she place her hand on his heart and black swirls came out of him. And he dropped dead.

She fell down and she said" enough" and passed out

We have been sitting for a long time now" Beelzebub said while wolfing down his plate of fried chicken. He was cranky as well.

" We are herd to watch her. She has been through a lot. Let her enjoy the night." Asmodeus said sipping his drink. Ever since he has set his eyes on her that day after her awakening, he has been thinking about her non stop.

" She is beautiful, exquisite, I wonder why Lucifer hid her from us from the start." Leviathan said shaking his head. " Hell has been on war since Vasago saw that vision. Not everyone want changes." Mammon said looking at the stairs that leads to the club. " Here she comes" they turned to look at her and turned back to their drinks.

" We need to follow her if we want to talk to her . we have been watching for four months, am tired of not doing anything." Beelzebub said eating his last piece of fried chicken. "She looks flushed.. is she okay?" leviathan said crossing his legs.

" She is getting up." They stood up after she left.

When she started running, they quickened their steps as they see the men chasing her. She turned to an alley and the men blocked the entrance.

"Wait" Leviathan said. " Don't rush in, let's see if our princess has some fight in her." He said holding Asmodeus back.

" They are going to rape her and you want us to wait? What kind of a demon are you?!" Beelzebub said trying to go further. " Do not use your power on me, you know how much I hate that!" He snapped feeling Leviathan scorpion pricking his neck.

" She is pathetic, she can't even fight three mortals" Mammon said enjoying her squirm and plead for the men not to touch her.

" She can't see us, Levi's hold on the darkness is so strong today." Mammon said patting leviathan's back.

The fire that came out of her body when her power awoke made them move further away from her because it was so sudden. She moved swiftly to hold the man who was running away and held him by the neck. She placed her hand on his penis and said." This will be your last try" and place her hand on his heart and called his spirit.

"Oh! This is " too stunned to speak Mammon looked at Asmodeus who completed his word" the holy fire" he said in a rushed whisper. " It is true" leviathan said awed and full of fear.

" Now I know why Lucifer kept her hidden." Beelzebub said. She dropped to the ground and fainted . "Now let's get out of here"

They all rushed towards her and carried her.

She turned and sigh, soon her eyes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes. The glass door that greeted her made her sit up instantly. She began to look around, noticing that she might be in a push hotel or apartment. She slowly place. Her feet down on the slippers beside the bed and walked towards the Glassdoor .

Sliding the door to reveal a big Terrance . she walked around noticing the beautiful Lounge chairs and the small simple bar.

She walked back to the room and opened the fridge to pick a bottle of water. She found a lot of good and expensive wine and she gasped.. " Who brought me here?" She remembered she burnt those men and fainted, She robbed her temple and thought " if someone reported me, won't be here, who brought me here?"

The door opened just as she brought the water to her mouth, and a tall blonde man , with chiseled jaw and sapphire eyes entered the room. Het brain froze for a second and she forgot to swallow until she chocked on the water. She started coughing and he said. "Oh, you are awake, you have been asleep for three days," he said sitting down and staring at her.

" th three days, those men?!" she asked looking at him. He chuckled. " We were able to pack their ashes, those fuckers don't deserve it anyway" he said.

" Who are you? Where am I? Ashes? " she said looking at him for more explanation.

" First , my name is Beelzebub. You can call me beel."³

He smiled. " second .. you are in one of our home and thirdly, you exhumed their bones when you release your power, girl, you have the greatest fire ever seen in history."

She sat down on the bed, her head pounding and refusing to believe that she is speaking to one of the demons of hell. " Beelzebub? As in one of the princes of hell? Power? She asked trying not to move further away from him.

" Don't worry princess I won't hurt you. Yes, I am one of the princes of hell and your guardian, well one of your guardians. And yes, you have powers, I don't know the extent of it but you will come out great when you learn how to use it."

She gasped at all this revelation and look around again. " Are we in hell now? Why is it. Not hot?" She asked.

His laugh was rich and deep and her core tingled. "No princess we are not in hell, I don't think you are ready for hell yet. " He said standing " you ll have to meet the others and you need to eat. He said and left calling " I ll send someone to bring the food."

Soon someone knocked and a young woman came in and smiled at her "Hello my name is crystal, am a maid for the princes". She moved forward and started off loading the trolley on the table.

" Hi crystal, I am Vaspera, It nice meeting you. Thank you for the food." She replied. Crystal smiled again and said." When you are done , please ring the bell beside your bed, someone will come and clear it up. Also, your wardrobe is fully stocked, we didn't know what you like but we got mostly everything." She said pointing to the door on the left side of the bed.

She could not talk but nodded. As soon as crystal close the door, she went on a food rampage, stuffing everything into her mouth and moaning about how good they are.

She ate to her fill and decided to check the closet. Opening the closet door, she gasped. She couldn't not believe how rich these people are. From luxury bags to heels and dresses, to make up and underwear. The closet was fully stocked.

She opened the bathroom door and she fell in love, she quickly took off her clothes and entered the tub. Seeing the wine glass that appeared in front of her startled her and she heard a female laugh but she thought she imagined it.

She had a relaxing bath and dried herself and went to the closet to get dressed. Picking a Rd slick panties set and a. jean trousers and a sweater. She felt confident to get some answers from the men who brought her here.
