Chapter 4: chapter 4
That smile was capable of melting a heart made of stone. Raguel felt his heart melt like candle wax on fire.
" You should apologize first before thanking me " she said softly. Her euphonious voice made Raguel almost loose control of himself.
He raised his brows questioningly. " Had I not pushed you away you have killed me by draining all the blood in my veins " she said teasingly.
" I am extremely sorry for that" Raguel apologized. He had many questions in mind but he could not bring himself to ask.
Carmilla moved closer to him and held his hands in hers. " Please don't tell anyone that I helped you" she said with a smile.
At that moment Raguel felt like he was willing to do anything she asked of him even the impossible.
He felt like if it was not something that was normal. How comes whenever she spoke he was controlled by her wants. It felt as if he had no choice but to listen to her.
Her voice made him feel very relaxed. It felt like she was manipulating his emotions.
He was Raguel Asmodeus and no one could ever manipulate him. He had to break free at any cost.
He shut his eyes and forced his mind to be blank. " What were you doing to me ? " he asked calmly.
" Carmilla looked very surprised. " That's impossible. You are the first person to do it " she said surprised.
Raguel was puzzled. He could not understand what she was saying. " I am the first person to do what?" he asked confused.
" To break free from my charming spell. No one has ever done it" she said with lightened eyes.
" Do you mean even the devil could not break free from it " he asked curiously.
" Unfortunately it doesn't affect him even in the slightest way" she said with a frown.
Raguel could now understand why he felt as if she was controlling him. Wait a minute. Why did she manipulate him in the first place?
" Why did you cast the spell on me?" he asked with anger visible on his eyes.
Carmilla could not understand what he was thinking. " Relax, not everyone is like Lilith" she said softly " I was just checking if you were any different from others"
Raguel calmed down a bit. Even though he did not fully trust her he chose to give her the benefit of doubt.
" Different as in what?" he asked puzzled. Carmilla looked at him with a knowing smirk.
" Possessing some special powers" she said simply. From her expression Raguel could tell that she wasn't sure of her own answer.
" Can you read minds?" he asked trying to find out more about her. She shook her head in denial.
" I can read no one's thoughts not even those of mortals but I do have other special abilities far better than you can imagine" she said excitedly.
Raguel was now confused. Carmilla seemed like she was not of his world. How on Earth did she even end up with Lucifer.
Unlike most demons she did not emit a frightening dark aura. She had an aura that demanded attention and respect but not fear.
" What are those special abilities that you have?" he asked eagerly.
" You might experience them soon since you already have my blood running through your veins" she said simply.
That left Raguel feeling more puzzled. Did that mean he was going to have additional powers.
He gazed at her intensely. " Are you one of us?" he finally asked.
Carmilla shook her head. Before Raguel could say anything more she was already gone.
Raguel could not control his thoughts anymore. He was already having many speculations about her. His head was filled with theories.
He kept thinking of what she was and why she was with the devil. He knew he was being noisy but he couldn't help it.
He found her to be a mystery that he wanted to solve. He cursed under his breath for not minding his own business.
As far as he knew it was best not gaining an interest in the devil's life. Doing that had cost him dearly before and he feared it might cost him again.
Why should he even care about who Lucifer chooses as his bride. How would it be of benefit to him.
He decided not to think of Carmilla anymore. He would let everything go and forget all that happened.
His concern was how could keep Lucifer from finding out. If Lucifer found out that he was healed he would surely cause havoc trying to find out who helped him.
The last thing he wanted was to get his savior in trouble with the devil. He went to Lucifer's room and found Carmilla alone. He thought of talking to her but changed his mind.
He wandered till he found him. Lucifer was busy entertaining himself with some ladies.
' Why does he look for other women when he has Carmilla' he thought. So far Raguel had never met a girl more beautiful than Carmilla.
She was attractive in every way. To him he felt as though he would be contented with a woman like her for the rest of his life.
He scolded himself again for meddling with Lucifer's life. He was the devil and had the freedom to do whatever he wanted.
If he was not satisfied by Carmilla then that was his problem not Raguel's. He felt like a fool for coming all the way just to check on Lucifer.
As if sensing his presence Lucifer got up fast and began searching around the room.
Raguel was familiar with all the ways of darkness as much as Lucifer was. It was not difficult for him to stay hidden from the devil.
When he was certain that no one was in the room Lucifer calmed down and went back to having his fun.
' That was close ' Raguel thought. He got out of there and went far away to avoid been caught.
Walking around without being noticed felt boring to him. Since he could not walk freely around with his face he had to take another form.
He decided to visit one of his old enemies. He found him grooming himself ready to leave. Raguel could easily guess where he was going.
Having been tortured in darkness for a lot of years he should have accumulated a new power. As Lucifer always told him pain made him stronger.
He felt a lot of darkness in his body so far. Lazarus could not feel Raguel's presence.
Raguel observed him more closely. He looked at lazarus' shadow. With his thought he commanded it to raise its hand.
When it did that the real Lazarus also raised his hand. ' So I can control shadows ' he thought with a smile.
He commanded it to posses him. It rose and blended with Lazarus and they became one.
Raguel appeared before Lazarus. " You will take my form and go to my room. You will act and talk as me" he commanded.
He burnt Lazarus and left him looking like his old self. He took him to his room. " Now go sleep" he said boldly.
Lazarus obeyed. Raguel still found it hard to believe. He was no longer simply a demon. He had become a shadow.
He was glad that his suffering had at least given him more power. A shadow was an extremely dark creature.
' I am officially a creature of hell ' he thought to himself. A smirk formed on his face but was immediately replaced with a frown.
If Lucifer came to know of his power then he would definitely be in trouble.
There could only be one shadow and it was the devil. If there were two in the same dimension then only one had to survive by eliminating the other.
The thought of having to fight the devil sent a cold chill down his spine.
He went back to Lazarus' room and left in his form. He was certain that no one was going to suspect a thing.
He was escorted by lazarus' friends. As he had guessed Lazarus was going to the brothel.
He was thrilled by the idea. Whichever girl he would choose he was not sure if she would survive it. He had a desire of over a millennium.
' Maybe I should wax my ears first ' he thought. The idea of his eardrum getting damaged by the screams was exciting.
He walked in with very high hopes. He took a seat and began searching for his meal.
The ladies were dressed in very tight dresses that revealed most parts of their bodies.
" There is your favorite one Lazarus" one of his friends teased. Raguel looked at her for a while but she did not interest him.
His eyes caught the attention of one particular girl. She had a dark hair with brown eyes.
The clothes she wore revealed her curves perfectly. Her boobs pressed tight against the dress.
Her skin looked soft to caress. He turned around to one of his friends. " I want that one" he said.
The demon appeared shocked. " Are you crazy. Lord Javan said that no one should touch her or do you have a death wish?" he asked.
Raguel had almost forgotten that he was in Lazarus disguise. Javan was way more powerful than Lazarus.
He went to the one in charge. He showed him the girl he wanted. Just like the others he appeared shocked.
" Call Javan here immediately" he bellowed.
