Chapter 7

I should be a pile of ashes.

Either the Hellfire isn’t as hot as it used to be or Lucifer was lying to me about taking my powers. I’m thinking it’s the former and not the latter. As the black smoke clears, the smug smile of D’lilah changes into a shocked expression when she sees that all she’s done is burn off all my clothes.

“That’s Blue Hellfire! You should be a pile of ash!”

Dark Blue Hellfire. And from that little toasting I barely got a light tan. What an amateur, she must have just learned how to project blue flames.

I catch a glance of the small crowd that’s formed watching our catfight. Across from me on the park bench, the guy on the bench with the iPod has his camera recording everything. Great. In my attempts to show my good side to the world I’m giving them a shot of my backside. This couldn’t get any more embarrassing.

While the spectators get an eyeful of E’steem au natural, I jump off the ground into a fighting stance. “You know that was one of my favorite dresses.” I retort.

“You should be glad I got rid of it.” D’lilah snarls. “It made your hips look wide.”

She’s just jealous. I looked fabulous in it. Just like I used to look fabulous in my old red dress. Since I can’t go around fighting naked during our little show, I’ll show her how we Old Guard demons used to style and profile back in the old days.

“RAIMENTUS CHANGEUS!” I chant.

A flash of light transmutates the air molecules around me into a replica of my old tattered linen red dress. D’lilah rolls her eyes at the sight of me in my legendary attire. I don’t think she’s impressed.

“That one makes you look fat.”

“Says the woman wearing a two-piece with a flabby midsection.”

“Why don’t I help you burn off some calories so you can look better in it.”

D’lilah gestures and fires a huge ball of Hellfire at me. I look across the lawn at the small audience that has formed watching our little show. Even though her hellfire isn’t as hot as mine, it can still incinerate everything in the nearest vicinity including all those spectators. I’ve got to put out her fire before it catches any of the foliage and the people around us.

A thunderclap from my hands sends a shockwave across the park that rocks the trees and knocks people off their feet. The force of the blow dissipates the Hellfire into vapor and sends D’lilah flying into the trunk of an oak tree a few yards away. A flash of light takes me over to the stunned woman who staggers to her feet.

I’m about to grab her when I feel claws raking against my stomach. D’lilah lets out a whimper as she holds her stinging hand and peers up at me.

“AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!” she cries. “It’s like clawing at steel!”

“100 sit-ups a day will give you abs like this.” I say punching her in the stomach. “You ought to try it.
