Chapter 14: Lets be real!

"H-how?"

"How comes she listens to him? Because he can control them. Actually, he can control the felines due to his ability, that is, if I'm right."

"Unfortunately, you are 100% right my dear. Leviathan has an affinity for feline demons, if I may say so."

"See. I'm a genius as always. Though, From what I can remember from the history of Seraphims, you didn't have this ability before which leads to the conclusion that you received it here in Hell. Though, there were rumors that you could always form strong bonds with the Sacred Guardians. And even tame them to some extent."

"It seems like someone has done her homework."

"You're wrong. What I've told you up till now is just plain history that is taught in every school and orphanage and nothing more. The homework you speak of is how to kill you in the fastest way possible, how to win against you and your weak points."

"M hmm... and what is the weak point of Leviathan?"

"The stone in the middle of his forehead and his sigils just like yours. You seven have two weaknesses alike but if someone wants to kill him, they will have to make sure that there isn't any water around, or felines of any kind and that there is planted some stones that block the element of electricity."

"It seems like you really are a smart ass, aren't you know?"

"Of course I'm smart! How else could I be the Commander of the Heavenly trups and Head Strategist?"

"..."

"What?"

"Rose?"

"Yes?"

"Stop it!"

"Stop what?"

"What you're doing right now?"

"And what exactly am I doing right now?"

"You are trying to scare them and show them that you are not to be underestimated, and you are also starting to be really arrogant."

"... I guess I am easy to read sometimes."

"You are not easy to read Rose, but we just can already tell what you are planning beforehand because we grew up together, and we share a strong bond plus the fact that we are already used to your way of being. Just like we are used to Cory and Rory, the danger brothers."

"Cory-"

"And Rory?"

"It sound like they are suuuch idiots."

"Because they are!"

"It's good to know that Asmodeus, Amon and Mammon agree with us, but why in the world are you comparing me with them???"

"Wait a second. Who are they anyways?"

"They are a pair of good for nothing twins. That's who they are. And let's not forget the fact that, if given the chance, they can burn down the kitchen after 2 minutes that they've entered it. But that's not the idea Amon. The idea is that my oh so sweet sisters are comparing me with two good for nothing hunters."

"That's not what we meant Rose. Stop being such a drama queen! You know we love you!!!"

"Love you too."

"Aww! How sweet and nice and soooooo much love, but it still doesn't explain why Disaster reacted this way, or maybe you two have an answer. Because, let's be real. Something must have happened to tick of the damned panther."

"Asmodeus is right, even though I don't like to admit it. The roar we hear the moment she was ready to tear me apart wasn't sounding like she was protecting her territory, it sounded like she was ready to take down her worst enemy." Something isn't adding, and I'm afraid to say it but only Emily and Emma might have a satisfying answer to our question. And there is also the reason why there isn't anyone with them to show them around and protect them.

"What I would also like to know, is why they aren't protected?"

"What-"

"No, Mammon! She is right, as much as I don't like saying it, Lucifer made sure that someone would protect them. So where is that someone? Because if the one or the ones who were supposed to make sure that nothing will happen to them was with them, we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with."

"Asmodeus, can you use your powers to see if you can find something strange along the hallways?"

"Right on it!"

"Leviathan, see if you can convince Disaster to show us what is wrong or if she saw the ones who were supposed to protect Heavens envoys somewhere."

"I'll announce the patrol squads to keep an eye out, just in case."

"Amon! I found something. The wind from the northern part of the castle carries a strong scent of blood!"

"Damn it! Come on. We are all going there. Announce the rest to keep an eye open. Even the Strategists."

"Already on it. And from the sounds of it Lucifer isn't pleased at all. Not even Toth."

"Of course they aren't. Something happened right under our nose and in our home, in our castle and territory no less. Heads will fall, and it won't be nice the way they will."

"If you'd like, I can give a hand."

"Rose?"

"Rose?"

"It's alright! Don't worry, Emily, Emma! Everything will be just fine. I'm here now, and I don't intend to let anyone or anything hurt even a single strand of your hair."

"Fine! You will help as well."

"Leviathan! Are you out of your mind? You stupid water snake!"

"I'm not. Calm down Amon. But this incident can help us see the power she has and if we aren't making a mistake by accepting to work with her."

"Very well, but I still don't like the idea."

"You don't have to like it, you just have to go along with it."

"For your information, I wouldn't of have offered to help if it wouldn't of have put the lives of Emily and Emma's in danger. But from the sound of it, it must be pretty bad to go undetected even under your nose."

"Oh, really? Well-"

"Enough of this! Amon, Asmodeus, Mammon, you go through the left and the four of us will go through the right. We'll keep in touch and announce the other team if we encounter or find something or someone."

"Understood!"

"Good. Now lets mo-"

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

"Let us hurry at once!"
