Chapter 20

Zero's POV

I sigh as I walk around the room, thinking how the hell did I come back if the last thing I remember is the lion trying to kill me?!

I sigh again as I button-up my T-shirt but leave the last three buttons open. I wear my ruined leather pants, the one I wore for three days strait, without showering as well.. Nightmare! I have nothing else to wear so that's my only option. I take off my socks to let my feet relax from the hard fighting and then I go out of the room to the kitchen where food was left for me, still warm.

I sigh as I take a seat and started eating but I was destructed from it.. I thought about the fight which I didn't remember clearly. I ate slow and played with my food until I decided to leave it and go up to my room.

"Something took control of me back then" I mumbled as I fall on the bed with my face in the pillow.

I have to find out what happened.

"Hey, Zero. Why didn't you eat?" Death's voice asked out of nowhere with concern filling his voice. I am already used his, sudden appearance, so I am not that shocked.

I felt the bed deepen until a hand stroked my hair. I sigh to the relaxing feeling his hand gives me.

"Zero?" His voice whispered with concern once again.

"It's nothing." The pillow muffled my words.

"Zero. Come on. Talk to me" He insisted.

"CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE!?" I yelled as I set up, facing him with an angry expression on my face. His face was full in shock and taken back. "JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" I yelled before I was pulled into a tight hug and a warm hand stroked my hair again.

"It's alright." He whispered to me even though I think it meant for himself.

"It's not" I said.

"I see that you are becoming like your father every second passing by" He sighed with annoyance the mumbled something I couldn't catch.

"Not my problem" I mumbled to his shoulder before he cupped my face with his hands and looked deeply into my eyes, into my sole, with his.

"You are right. It's not your problem. It's mine" He said before he whispered in my ear. "I should teach you how to control him properly"

"W-what do you mean?"

"The thing which took control of the fight back then.."

"Took control over what?"

"Your body, Zero" He said. "You really don't remember?" He asked.

I shook my head. "That what I was so frustrated about and I let my anger out on you" I admitted.

He sighed and finally he let go of my face. His eyes stared into space, trying to think about something and seconds later he turns to me with a smirk on his face and something appeared in his eyes but disappeared.

"I have an idea" He said before grabbing my arm and then he started pulling me out of the my room to a strange place where Lucifer's scent was covering every and each corner.

I could smell him even before I came into the room and I knew he was there and I knew he sensed me too as the door to his office opened.

I started to protest but I couldn't get out of the tight grip Death had on my arm.

He smirked before saying, "I knew you would protest"

"Damn you" I whispered as he pushed me forcibly through the door with him.

"Lucifer-" He said before making fall on my knees and my arm is still strongly held by his hand. "-It's time"

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared in front of me but I kept my eyes down, staring to his red feet. Wait?? Red?

I looked and saw something I would have never thought if seeing. His true form. I have one word ti describe his appearance.. Creepy. I wasn't scared if that's what you are wondering, no I wasn't but instead I was completely disgusted.

I can handle the horns and tail but him being red and naked without being ashamed.. I must say.. He is indeed a man alright..

"Yo" He said before smiling.

"You aren't trying to look cute like that.... are ya?" I asked with the you-have-to-be-kidding-me look.

"What's the problem?" He asked as he turned around.

I sigh.. "So clueless.." I mumbled.

"That's why you are SO similar" Death said. "Like father like son"

"I think I know what you mean.. but..-" A vain appeared on my neck from anger. "COULD YOU WEAR SOME CLOTHES!" I yelled at Lucifer.

"Stop yelling, I'll become deaf" He said before cleaning his ear with his black and long nail. Ok.. I definitely don't wanna be touched by that!

"It's better for all of us" Me and Death whispered together.

Lucifer sighed them entered another room.. Seconds later he came back more like a human being but he kept the tail.. Why? NO FUCKING IDEA! This time he wore a black suit with red tie just like his super-human skin...

I sigh mentally and flash, do-we-really-have-to-do-this look to Death and he nods but I could see in his eyes that he wanted to get out of here as fast as possible just like I am.

"So it's time huh?" Lucifer's voice sounded from somewhere.

Oh great.. I look at Death for a second and he disappears.. Exactly what I need right now. Note the sarcasm.

"Yes" Death replied.

"Time for what?" I asked, curious. Huh shit.. I forgot about my legs.. I can't feel them anymore! "And I can't feel my legs" I said right before Death pulled me up from the horrible sitting position.

"For you training of course-" Death said before letting my arm go. "- You are going to stay with Lucifer in this office, for about five to nine months" He said and as he said that my instinct kicked in and I started running towards the exit but the door's been shut right before could run out.

"Shit" I cursed before Death disappeared and the room darkened, relieving the creepy Lucifer's original form.

Something fleshed in his eyes as if he tried to say sorry for something he hasn't done yet but soon his face changed completely.

His eyes become completely black with his expression which darkened. His tall frame becomes taller and his soft smile turns into a devilish smile with sharp white teeth. His long tongue licked the teeth before he started to walk towards me.

"Now I know why he is called the Devil"
