Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

Lilith

I awoke on the hard ground, the pain in my mouth was gone, I groaned softly as I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Noticing that I was in a makshift tent, I frowned in confusion.

I slowly got up and pulled back the opening for the tent, once outside I could tell I wasn't in the city anymore, but that I wasn't alone either.

"Hello your higness, glad to see you up and around!" Zander, the cook for the cafiteria said with a smile on his face.

He handed me a plate that had rice, with shredded chicken and gravy on top. I liked my lips and gulped it down in 5 seconds.

"That's not very lady like you know?" I rolled my eyes in the back of my head and my shoulders finally relaxed.

"What would you know about that Meliodas?" My voice came muffled as I spoke between bites.

"I know some like that Queens aren't supposed to talk with their mouths full dear." Meliodas says from behind me, I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

"I can't help it, it's good and I'm hungry." I said as i finished the food and handed Zander the plate, he took it and walked off.

I turned to face Meliodas to see his sexy bearded face, those beautiful blue orbs looked at me softly, my heart did a dance in my chest with the way he looked at me.

The overwhelming urge to kiss him has been eating me alive. I yerned to know how soft his lips were, what he tasted like.

Meliodas tucked a stray hair from my face behind my ear, my body physically shivered at his touch.

"He's not the only one who can heal you, but my heals don't come with a price tag love." He whispered, his thumb caressing my cheek softly.

"Meliodas.." I whispered softly.

He gently grabbed my chin and brought my face close to his, my lips parted in anticipation. Meliodas' breath mixing with mine, our noses touching slightly.

"You fell this too? You want this as much as I do?" He whispered, quieter somehow, softer.

I whimpered and gasped as he inched ever so closer, closing the distance slowly.

Finally, our lips touched and it was everything I ever dreamed about. His soft lips started off timid and careful.

His other hand carefully found my lower back and softly brought me closer towards him, my hands snaking up and finding the sides of his face.

Eagerness seeped through our bones, we deepened the kiss, my eyes closed as I relished in his taste and the feel of how perfect his lips felt on mine.

His tongue found it's way into my mouth, I moaned into the kiss and moved my hands to his hair, his hands finding my ass and hoisting me up. My legs found their place around his waist automatically, it felt like two puzzle pieces finally coming together.

I had a sudden burning urge to have his clothes off but then he sat mae back down, broke our kiss and steped away from me, smirking.

"Not yet my queen."

Meliodas

It took everything I had in me to deny her what we both wanted. I needed to win Hell first, I hadn't even been in Hell for very long but I had still managed to get over half Lucifer's army, he had resorted to stealing sould bound for heaven to give himself an advantage in battle when the time came.

I wasn't stupid.

I knew I was bound for heaven the moment I saw God, though I'm sure his deal with me had a little to do with me being here too but the majority of me being here had everything to do with the fact Lucifer caught and directed my soul to Hell.

It's why I had taken so long to wake up.

Part of the power God had given to me was the ability to see who was actually a heaven bound soul, those people had bright glowing lights emitting from their bodies -an angelic glow if you will.

The other parts? Well part of it was the ability to stand up to Lucifer and override his commands.

The rest of it?

Demonic.

I had walked to a secluded area, all alone he looked up, as if seeking God for guidance.

"What happens to these souls? Can they go back where they belong or are they forced to Hell for enternity?" He whispered, and though God couldn't answer him here, he felt it in his soul.

There was a way, to free the stolen souls. He just had to figure out how.

Back at the makeshift camp, everyone had set up a comfortable way to life out if a tent, luckily no one here had children, Hell wasn't designed to hold the innocent. Only those who did wrong -they sinned- and knew what they did was wrong.

The youngest soul they had here in Hell was 15, he had killed someone -and himself- in a car accident, he was drunk. He had no business driving, he had stolen the car from an elderly couple who had left the keys in their car, stole the bottle of Fireball from a gas station shelf and drove on the wrong side of the road after he'd drank only a third of the bottle.

He still had that glowing white light, since he felt guilty over the life he took, the life in question?

A 28 year old woman who just wanted to go home after a 17hr shift as a nurse, she was tired, had saved nemerous lives and hers was cut short.

God didn't plan that for her, Lucifer is well… Lucifer and likes to influence people to do wrong and sometimes that person gives into him.

As I walked to the center, my aura seeping out, everyone stopped what they were doing and crowded the center of the camp.

Even Lilith, sexy, beautiful Lilith showed up.

"You have found out that all of you were heaven bound souls, Lucifer stole you're happiness from you for a life of suffering, let you believe that God put you here. I can assure you, God did not; Lucifer stole your soul while the soul was on it's way to heaven. Right now we are working on fighting towards our goal and take over Lucifer and I will find a way to get your souls where they belong!" I shouted in the croud as angry shouts of agreement sounder throughout the camp. I smiled and waved over Leroy.

"I need your help along with Lilith to help aid me in this fight." I confided in him, he nodded.

"Whatever I can do to help Meliodas. I'm here for you." He said, detirmination in his gaze.

Lucifer

"Your higness, wake up!" I heard the voice before I could comprehend what was happening, I put my powers towards healing my body, I screamed as bones snapped back in place.

After about two hours of healing, the pain finally stopped and I could breath a lot better, taking in deep calming breaths I finally looked at my surroundings.

I was still in the throne room, the last thing I remembered was Meliodas punching me.

"Where is my wife?" I grounded out.

"She isn't here your highness. She has left the city along with over half your army." The sweet voice said.

I finally sat up and looked at who it was, it was the whore from the other day?!

"What are you doing here?" I spat out coldly.

"Well your queen has abandoned you and I'm still here, I am merely showing you I am queen material." She stated, I laughed bitterly.

"What makes you think I want a different one?" I asked, now curious as to where this was going, the smirk that formed her face irritated me instantly.

"You may not, but she isn't carrying your heir while I am." She said, a cocky tone to her voice.

"Are you now?"
