Chapter Twenty-Three – The Prince

I had them enthralled. The remaining Lesser Vampires that hadn’t already met their true death. It was not difficult to enthrall them once they saw who I was. I already had their souls marked for my realm, yet throughout the past years I let them linger and multiply on this world. I lost the will to keep balance.

But the balance would be restored. I would see to it.

I stood in the center of the field, surrounded by countless Demons whose mouths dripped venom that would turn any human into one of their kind. A time long past came to me, and I remembered the zombie movies I forced Michael and Kass to watch with me. My grey lips smirked, but the smirk fell away the moment I heard her footsteps.

Kass came from behind me, slowly coming nearer, cautiously glancing to the frozen Vampires. Nightwalkers, we called them. A childish nickname that stuck. Nightwalkers, Daywalkers…I didn’t doubt that we’d given nicknames to every Demon if we would’ve been given the chance.

Or the time.

“Where is Gabriel?” Kass spoke, her voice soft, wavering.

I sluggishly turned to her, studying her. She was wounded, holding a hand to her neck. I knew what had happened. The older brother had freed himself from his metal shackles. Or, more correctly, his mask. Raphael had gotten to him before I could take his soul.

Alas, maybe that was a good thing. I didn’t truly want Kirk’s soul. I wanted John’s. I never liked him. But it was for merely selfish reasons. He angered me by finding a loophole in my compulsion. I didn’t want Kass to leave. I wanted her to stay.

“Where is Gabriel?” she questioned again, her small body swaying from blood loss and whatever other injuries she sustained.

“The Gabriel you know died the day he lost you,” I answered honestly, my voice the very opposite of hers: willful, proud, confident.

Kass rolled her eyes, and I knew her well enough that she thought I was simply being dramatic. “Don’t try that. I was just with him. I…” Her feet stumbled, and she practically fell.

I held up a hand, waving it in front of her. Out of everyone, she was the only one I didn’t wish to see hurt and bloodied. Her wounds mended, and she measuredly released the pressure she was applying to her neck, realizing that I healed her.

Giving her my back, I took a single step away, lifting my horned head to the sky. “We will go to the Witch, though I cannot promise that she will help us.”

Kass then did something no one ever dared do: interrupt the Devil. “How do you know about our plan?”

The second I met gazes with her, I suspected she already knew. But she refused to say it. It was up to me.

“I was there,” I whispered.

“You were…” Kass shook her head. “I think I would’ve known if you were there.”

“But I was. You refuse to see it. Let me lift the veil.”

At that moment, I decided to collect the Nightwalkers’ souls at once.
