“Viper is no longer living and no longer holds anything over me.”
“So why do you want to serve her?”
“Because she is a queen. We all know it.”
I open my eyes to see Cinitta and Tanya arguing.
“Shut up!” I scream.
My hands are still under Max’s shirt, but his body is no longer warm. “Max. Max, wake up.” I push him, but he doesn’t move. “Max, please wake up,” I try again. He still doesn’t move.
I thought it was a dream, a nightmare. I had hoped and prayed it was. But as my hands hold his body and feel the coldness when he usually feels so warm, I know we’re not that fortunate.
It’s my reality.
My nightmare.
And I hate it.
I hate this whole fucking world right now. I want to burn it to the ground along with every fucker living in it.
I feel myself becoming so angry that I just can’t stop myself. Before I know it, the castle is on fire, and my sister starts screaming at me to move. But I don’t have the will to move. I can’t seem to leave Max, even if I wanted to.
Cinitta tries to reach for me.
But with a single movement of my hand, she is gone.
“Do we plan to burn the world down as well?” I turn my head to see my father standing there. He’s dressed in a red suit, which is fitting, really. He looks around and leans down to me. “You need to stop this.”
“Stop what?”
“You are opening worlds and destroying this one.”
“I’m not. Fuck off.” He places a hand on Max, and then Max is gone. Along with all his blood.
I fall to the ground, my hands searching desperately for him.
“What did you do? Where is he?”
“Stop what you are doing.”
I turn and get in his face. “Where is he?” I scream. “What did you do with him?”
He takes a deep breath and touches my shoulder. “Calm down.”
“No. Where is he?” I say through gritted teeth.
The castle starts to crumble around us. But, apart from Viper’s body and his father’s, no one else is in here.
“You need to calm down.”
“Stop telling me to calm down. Bring. Him. Back.”
My father sighs, then I feel us moving, and the smell of sulfur reaches my nose.
“Why did you bring her here?”
I turn to see Valefar, shirtless, his body marked with black lines, standing on ground that is red in color. When I glance down, I know I am somewhere I don’t recognize. When I look at Lucifer, he is now shirtless as well, and wings sprout out from his back.
