She Belongs To The Devil

"I have to go down to Earth first. Else that mad child will destroy the world."

He took a deep sigh and then disappeared from Heaven.

The Goddess could sense that the barrier had been lifted. And without wasting a second, she also disappeared from Heaven.

Theodore flapped his wings and hovered in the air to look at the remaining soldiers of Reginald.

Earlier, he had said that he would kill them all in order to scare them and nothing more. He had thought that he would get a peace of mind after killing that vampire who had brought all the pain and loss in his life.

But could he be any more wrong?

Reginald\'s death further incited Theodore\'s hunger for violence. He wanted to slaughter every standing soldier with his flaming sword.

He wanted to finish off his father\'s prized souls just to remind his father that that was exactly how he felt when he lost his brother.

Theodore swung his flaming sword in his hand and then flew straight down to begin the slaughter. He wanted to kill as many souls as he could before his father came down to Earth.

He didn\'t care what his father would do to him after he would come down to stop him. Or rather, he didn\'t want to think about it. He didn\'t want his moral compass to stop him from doing what he was about to do.

The moment Theodore came closer to the land though, he suddenly entered an empty space. All that he could see was white blinding light everywhere and nothing else.

Theodore abruptly turned around when he heard light footsteps behind him.

"Hello, father!" Theodore clenched his jaw and positioned his flaming sword in front of him.

And he pinched his father with his words, "I thought I would never see you again, father. I thought you had forgotten that you have… that you had two sons down here on Earth. But I see that you haven\'t forgotten!"

The almighty was unfazed by that hostility of his son.

And he asked in a monotonous voice, "What are you trying to prove, Theodore? By killing those–"

"If you say \'by killing those innocent vampires\' then I will–"

"Kill me? Feel free to try. I would love to return the favor."

Theodore scoffed and chuckled upon hearing his father. And he mocked his father for being so thick, "Of course… of course you would kill your own son but you would protect those \'innocent and the powerless\' from us, right?"

Theodore mimicked God\'s voice and stance and further ridiculed his father, "My sons, I will give you power but at the same time, I will bind all of you with my stupid rules. You are the immortal beings. But I will take your lives and give them to those mortals, whom I love more than anything and anyone in this universe."

"I never said that," God glared at Theodore, now almost irritated by his son\'s eccentric behavior.

"But your actions did, father." Theodore swooshed his sword in front of his father and said, "I prayed and prayed for you to save Adeline… but nothing. I prayed and asked you to save Azriel\'s life. But again… nothing."

"But then I kill one bloody vampire… the one who took thousands and thousands of innocent lives by the way…"

"Including one of your son\'s life…" Theodore tried to thrust his sword at his father but all he hit was air. He turned around to find his father standing there and he shouted in a pained voice, "…and then you come right down to punish me."

Theodore swung his sword in order to stab his father again. He missed again. But he kept on venting out his frustration and his anger at his father. "Tell me one thing, father. Why are you so obsessed with your creation? Why can\'t you give similar affection to your own children?"

He looked into his father\'s calm eyes and asked with contempt, "Do we even mean anything to you?"

A sliver of pain ran through God\'s eyes. And he replied, "Of course. You all are equally important to me as my creations."

Theodore\'s eyes filled with tears. He felt a lump in his throat because all he heard from his father\'s mouth were lies.

"If we are equally important then why do you value those defects more than me or Azriel? Why didn\'t you come down when Azriel needed you? And why did you come down only when your defected creation died?"

Theodore ran towards his father while pointing his sword at him and shouted, "If you really cared about us then you wouldn\'t have let Azriel vanish from existence!"

"He made his own choice!" God also growled even louder than Theodore. He then hit Theodore with a lightning bolt and sent him flying really far.

But Theodore teleported right in front of God the moment he picked himself up from the floor.

And he swung his sword again while screaming, "Yes, he made his own choice. But what about my choice? What about your choice? What about mother\'s choice? Do we all also want his soul to vanish?"

"My answer is no! What is yours? Can you answer me truthfully?" Theodore slashed his sword very close to God\'s head and this time, he managed to cut off a few hair strands of his father.

The infinitely white domain that the two of them were in cracked a little.

Theodore glanced at the crack and glanced at the fallen strands of his father\'s hair. He wanted to free himself from his father\'s \'prison\' and go out in the open again so that he would be able to take hostages and threaten his father into doing something about Azriel.

So he stabbed those fallen strands of God\'s hair. He hadn\'t thought that it would work but several other cracks appeared in that space.

The almighty felt a sting in his heart. It was the first time that he ever felt this kind of pain.

Seeing the \'prison\' cracking, Theodore mercilessly and continuously stabbed those hairs.

The almighty wanted to stop his son from doing whatever he was doing. But he felt a series of sharp stings in his heart. He grabbed his chest and coughed a couple of times.

And before he could recover from that pain, the infinite prison that he had created to trap himself and his son shattered down.

A huge grin appeared on Theodore\'s face because he was hovering right above the soldiers of Mihir. He could choose any number of hostages to threaten his father.

If it didn\'t work, he could take the Earth as his hostage now that he was outside.
