Chapter Nine

Lucifer

She was in a building; a large, dark, old building that looked like it needed to be condemned. Not only could she see outside through the window, but also through the holes in the ceiling. It was night in Hell too, but there were no stars as the sky was still covered by the perpetual overcast.

Malakha shivered a little, rubbing her bare arms, absently noting that Sabrina had been wrong about the habit being able to cross over the invisible divide with her. She stood up, making sure to cross her arms over her chest as she wandered out the room and into the hall, cautious of where she stepped. The last thing she needed was to fall through the floor.

The building seemed very familiar, and it was only as she was climbing down the rickety stairs, careful to avoid splinters in the wood, that she realized why. It seemed this old building, church or whatever, was like a rundown mirror image of her school. In fact, the last time she was in Hell, the neighborhood she had been in was an even more rundown version of the neighborhood Eliza’s boyfriend lived in. Malakha wondered if there was a rundown mirror image in Hell of every place that was on Earth or Heaven as Julius had called it.

“You look a little lost honey.”

Malakha turned around, stumbling off the last step of the staircase as she did so. At the top of the steps was a woman, older than her and very… voluptuous was the only way Malakha could describe it. It was hard not to notice the dark skinned woman’s curves with the short miniskirt and the tight bodice she was wearing. Was it even safe to have breasts that big?

“Not really,” Malakha said. She should probably feel a little more comfortable around the woman than she did around Julius being that she was naked, but for some reason she wasn’t. For some reason, she really wished Julius was here instead, and Malakha wasn’t sure if that was because the woman made her feel really insecure about her own body or if it was the way the woman seemed to be leering at her. Julius didn’t look at her like that.

“You sure?” the woman asked as she began to come down the stairs. She cocked her head to the left a little.

The gesture was innocent enough, but it seemed so much more sinister to Malakha.

“Perfectly,” Malakha said and when the woman was getting too close, began to take a few steps back.

Malakha wasn’t exactly sure what happened next, only that one moment the woman was halfway down the steps and the next Malakha was being pressed against the wall with her hands forced on either side of her and one the woman’s legs lodged between her legs. Malakha tried to move out the way, trying to take advantage of the fact that she was smaller than the woman since it was a tactic that worked in the movies. Apparently, it didn’t quite work that easy in real life.
