Chapter 10 Part A

Zero's POV

***Dream***

"What do you mean?!" A woman's voice echoed through the castle's walls in anger as she yelled at somebody.

"Exactly what it means! My son is the prince of darkness, he is going to be the ruler of this place in the future! You don't have any saying about this matter" A man's voice echoed right after.

"Where am I?" I thought as I rubbed my aching head. "A dream?"

"ZERO!" The woman's voice called my name. When I was about to follow the voice someone twice as smaller than me and cuter than me, ran through me. Literally.

"What's going on?" I asked myself in panic. "Am I a ghost now? Hoh great." Note the sarcasm.

"Maybe I should follow the brat," I thought out loud while I began walking in the same direction the brat went.

I went up the stairs and then I went to the left only to find more stairs which I had to climb.

After forever I got to the last floor and saw a closed door and also the only door on this floor.

"Strange," I thought before trying to open the door but my hand went through it. "Oh great" I mumbled before thinking what to do next. "I can't hear anything either. Oh well, I am taking the risk" I said before walking through the door and believe it or not but it worked.

When I entered I saw Lucifer on the balcony, a woman with a child which looks exactly like me. "That's definitely me when I was little" I pointed out before deciding to keep company to our dear Lucifer.

I went to the balcony and looked at Lucifer before I decided to take a risk and do something funny. You ask what the risk? We are talking about Lucifer here. He can probably see me clear as the day.

I started poking him on the shoulder to see if he reacts to my touch which he didn't. Then I screamed in one of his ears 'I hate you' as loud as my lunges could allow me which he didn't react to either. So I went to the other ear and was about to scream the thing when a hand was put over my mouth.

"If you are going to scream in my ear again, I'll eat your soul" He threatened.

"Oh, so you can see me"

"Clear as the day, dear son"

"I knew there was something strange when you didn't react to anything I did... In the end, you just let me play with you" I said.

"Yep," He popped the p.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and left it there. It looks like he didn't have a problem with it so I stayed like this.

"So... This is how my son looks like in the future" He whispered.

"What?! You like it?" I asked as a joke which he returned a serious and very embarrassing answer.

"Yes, why? Have I done something I shouldn't?" He asked with a smirk. "You seem more attached to me in the future than now" He admitted.

"Tell you the truth, Yes.-" I lift my head from his shoulder and sigh in defeat. "- I am as twice attached to you in the future" I mumbled

"Haha. You are more honest too" he said before turning around and looking at me.

"You haven't changed at all" I mumbled as I looked around the place.

"Is that suppose to be a compliment?" He asked before chuckling.

I ignored his sarcastic question and looked at his eyes as he looked at mine.

"You are not compelling me to 'show' my true desire, are you?" I asked.

"So I have already used it on you," He said before chuckling. "I move fast. No wonder you are attached to me more than in the past" He said.

"That's the thing..-" I started before my head fell in shame. I looked at the ground as if I found something interesting to look at from the balcony. "I don't remember anything about my past," I admitted.

His head snapped towards me in shock and then he disappeared somewhere.

When I saw a trail of red color on the floor and an arrow in red on the wall which "Follow the red color" was written above it, I knew it meant for me.

I follow the trail down the stairs and stopped on another floor. The red trail, which hopefully was a real color, continued to the right and as if reading my thoughts, which I doubt the wall can, there was written; "Don't worry, it's only a color".

I started laughing my heart off when I heard a crash in one of the rooms.

My laughter died down and now I am following the trail which led me to one of the rooms.

I went through the door and stared at the scene in front of me in shock and horror.

"What happened here?"
