The flamy door which turned wide open was nothing bit total darkness. Looking at the door which almost seems like a portal to another realm, Asher could feel the darkness seeping out almost trying to consume him.
Immediately he put his trousers on, the same with Jeremy and with the wave of it's bony hands the malicious creature healed Jimmy.
" Oh Jeremy are you okay now.." Asher asked looking at Jimmy chest which was striked with lightening.
Jeremy nodded his head, he was alright.
" Okay you say you want Ezekiel I will give you his soul but you have to pay me back with something." The gatekeeper insisted.
Asher frowned, what was he gonna pay him back with and he didn't come with anything material here. And do money even work in hell.
" Please mister I am broke we don't have anything with us." Asher pleaded he just can't leave knowing he almost got him.
The gatekeeper wasn't pleased, he stared at them smiling ominously.
" Why can't you offer me the soul of your beloved here, if you have Ezekiel back you can easily replace him am I not right." The gatekeeper proposed his hands moving to the door.
Jeremy frozed, his heart beating. What so he was gonna die here, now that he thinks about it will Asher sacrifice him for Ezekiel since he was hellbent on bringing him back. He wouldn't allow it to happen? Or will he?
Asher was left shaken at the gatekeeper request, that was something he never expected.
" I don't want Jeremy to be sacrificed, it might be impossible but I love them both and unfortunately I can't seem to see either of them getting sacrificed like a piece offering so you have to choose something else." Asher pleaded once more even if it seems to be doing the opposite to the gatekeeper whose frown was imposing.
" Okay..." The gatekeeper deadpanned.
Hearing it Asher felt his heart breaking, was that it? Has the gatekeeper gotten annoyed with them and decided not to help anymore.
" I will give you the soul of your lover but you have a warning." The gatekeeper eyes shone oozing out smoke.
Jeremy and Asher listened attentively.
" When I release the soul of your friend you shall not turn back, your friend will be with you both but non of you should turn back because of by any chance you do so, the soul of your friend will disappear for enternity and this time you won't find him here again."
The cold condition made Asher face to hardened. He can do it, even if he won't get the chance to see Zeke face at least this is the least of sacrifice he can make to get to live with him in the real world.
" Who are you trying to deceive, c'mon Asher don't agree to this you know how cunning demons are, this one is trying to trick us into accepting his conditions. What if we leave here without actually seeing Zeke what do we do then?"
Jeremy questioned, he doesn't trust the creature who seems to be using them as a leverage.
" Please Jimmy I know you don't trust the creature but it's doing us a favor even when we messed up his sanctuary he is still willing to help us, please try not to sabotage this I beg of you."
Asher eyes begged Jimmy to comply let get out of the forsaken place. Jeremy sighed all these for love, which other choice does he have.
" Okay I agree with you but don't mess with us unless you will have a taste of my steel." Jeremy threatened.
And right there the gatekeeper vanished before their eyes. The gate or door whatever the creepy thing was called disappeared also.
Asher looked around in dismay.
" Noo what was happening, Jeremy where is the gatekeeper where did he go to." Asher spoke with hurry and fear.
" It can't be where the hell is he." Asher body shook with emotions which was crashing everywhere.
" Calm down Asher we will find a way to get through this please." Jeremy hands was trying get to Asher own, to hold him but Asher who was so aggravated raised his hands and a malevolent force erupted from his command and dragged Jeremy away from him making him to crash on a huge pillar.
Jimmy wasn't expecting the reaction at all, but the force was brutal so his head payed the price and a pool of blood erupted making him to scream in pain and agony.
" Haaa haaaaaaaaaaaa....the fuck." But that wasn't all Asher was still trembling by the turn out of even that he still continued screaming, not knowing the deadly consequences that his powers were issuing and the high ground which they were standing began to crumble.
Shaking so badly, the groan of the floor spread so wide to the demons in the area and they became curious and seeing that it was from the mortal they were enraged. But no one could get close, if by anyway they tried to stop Asher a powerful flame engulfed then burning them down to ashes.
Jeremy was bleeding, but the consequences wasn't ending anytime soon, due to his blood blood sucking creatures came slithering around and seeing the victim they rushed to the scene but a figure got to them first.
" Oh children go back he is all mine." An angelic voice echoed and the creatures all ran to their various hideout in hurry.
The face of the figure was so stunning, if they was any word more than stunning. And his long golden hair which was a pure beauty and his shimmering golden eyes which was like a burning flame.
His skin was like a firmly crafted iron, so delicately looking but he has seen better; Asher beauty surpasses that of the figure standing before him.
" Who are you and why do you stand before me." Jeremy questioned, trying to be strong even though the pain in his head was pounding continuously.
" You see I am the king of this dimension you obviously know as hell and I can't help but hear you possess the sword of Angel Michael which could kill my son so as a father I can't let that happen so I am imprisoning you forever here." Lucifer announced.
Jeremy eyes bulged, Lucifer was with him What the fuck has he gotten himself into.
" Please I don't know who your son is and I am not a threat." Jeremy tried to diffuse the bomb coming at him.
" Wow the guy you're trying to protect isn't he the one that sent you here almost to your death, you mortals and your worthless love story maybe just maybe by staying here you would learn." Lucifer grinned evily.
Jeremy began to cry, as shameful it was he just encountered something triggering back at the demon fog he can't handle being in hell. Where the evilest of all beings are thrown into.
" Please please... I don't want to go to hell please Asher Asheeeerrr."
Jeremy screamed but a hand dragged him away, his voice echoing.
" Poor guy your beloved only cares about Ezekiel you're nothing dear." And just like that they vanished out of sight.
Immediately a figure crept out of the ground looking so muddy and unkept.
" Asher..." Immediately Asher frozed, he knew the voice, could it be him?
" Yes you can turn he released me." Zeke reported and Asher immediately turned and just like he predicted it was Ezekiel.
Yes Ezekiel was back.
