Chapter 18 – Paying the Piper

Moloch makes eye contact with Heart of Darkness. He was enjoying how Heart of Darkness was squirming in that form of his.

"What happen with the brunch twenty years ago? Hm? I thought we had that set into stone?"

"Was it twenty years ago? I thought you meant it was suppose to be tomorrow! Let's do that tomorrow. Okay, Asmodeus?

"It's Moloch, now."

Moloch...?

Heart of Darkness looked confused. He was not familiar with demonology dispute making a deal with one. Moloch rolled his eyes. Reaper answers him

"He's using the name of the demon that wants children sacrifices."

"Wait..."

Heart of Darkness just realized who Reaper was talking about. This was the Moloch Reaper said before about looking for him.

"You're that Moloch!? Moloch and Asmodeus are the same!?

"Yes, and your time is up! It's time to go to your new home!"

"NO!!!"

Heart of Darkness screams as he turns around and runs away. Moloch laughs at Heart of Darkness. He turns to Reaper and smiles. He knew Heart of Darkness can't run from him now. He won't let him.

"Isn't it cute that he thinks he can just run from his problems?"

Moloch's eyes burn a black flame as he holds out his hand and clinches the air. A skeleton hand comes from the ground and grabs Heart of Darkness who reverts back into Calypso when grabbed. He struggles and screams as he gets dragged into Hell.

"NO!!! I'LL BE BACK!!! I ALWAYS COME BAC-"

Moloch cracks his neck and fingers as he turns his attention towards Reaper. He is in a good mood now.

"Okay, now for my part of the deal."

Reaper holds out his hand to Moloch.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

"Wait..."

Moloch sighs and rubs his eyes. He knew what was coming next. He was used to people backing out of the deals that were made from him. That doesn't mean it irritates him.

"Oh, I just love it when they change their minds, yes?"

"I want to revise my deal."

"Sure, why not? What you want?"

Reaper looks at Magan and Jessica. Before, he had nothing for him to live for. He had a good job, yes, but he didn't have anyone to drive him. He quickly turns to Moloch and grins evilly and says demonically that wasn't his own voice.

"Kill them!

"With pleasure!"

Moloch smiles and snaps his finger. Magan and Jessica go up in a black flame as they scream in pain. Reaper shakes his head. It was all an illusion. He looks at Moloch. Moloch shrugs at Reaper.

"Hell, it was worth the shot."

"What does he mean by that?"

Magan confusingly asked Reaper. Of course she didn't see what Reaper saw what happened to them in his head. Reaper look back at Magan and Jessica.

"Nothing, Magan..."

Reaper lied to Magan. She doesn't need to know what happened to her and Jessica. Moloch taps his foot and starts to get impatient with Reaper.

"Come on, Asher! I got a new toy to play with at home!"

Reaper looks back at Moloch. He thought long and hard about what he really wanted. He wanted to be with Magan and Jessica. Especially Jessica, his Jesse.

"I want you to give me my old life back to the way it was before I was Reaper..."

"So, you want to give up your powers to become human again?"

"Yes..."

Moloch shrugged. Moloch warned Reaper.

"Okay, if you say so; however, that scar is permanent."

"Just do it."

"Okay, goddammit!"

Thunder is heard, and Moloch looks up at the sky. He knew better than to say that in the human realm unless he wanted to be struck down by the higher ups.

"Sorry!"

Moloch composes himself and cracks his neck.

"Okay, now I don't want you crawling back to me asking for your powers back!"

"I won't..."

"Okay, here we go!"

Moloch lifts his hands up in the air, and Reaper starts to float in the air. Reaper could feel his power draining from his very soul.

"You might feel a slight pinch. All that darkness is going to come out and your body has to detox from It's a fast detox, but a painful one!"

Reaper screams in pain as his heart is seen turning back into its normal color. After Reaper detoxes, he turns back into Asher. Moloch floats him back to the ground. Magan and Jessica goes to Asher. Moloch turns around and starts to walk away rubbing his hands together. He's going to have SO much fun breaking Calypso over and over again. He can hardly wait that was until Asher interrupted his happy thoughts.

"Wait...!"

Moloch sighs and walks to Asher. He annoyingly says.

"What did I say about what is waiting for me at home?"

"Can you do me a tiny favor?"

"Now, I know what it means when they say it sounds sarcastic. Sure, why not!"

Moloch softly says forgetting what happened last time he said it.

".. Goddamn..."

Thunder is heard again, and Moloch looks back up.

"Sorry!"

Asher points to Devour. Moloch looks at it and back at blankly. He puts two and two together.

"You want me to bring back a helldog back to life, and you keep him!?"

"... Yes..."

Moloch laughs at the sound of Asher's request. Moloch knew he loved Asher for a reason. This guy is almost as chaotic as himself!

"Oh, man. I am really going to miss you, Asher! You're one fucked up guy!"

Moloch snaps his finger, and Devour slowly gets up. Jessica rushes to Devour and hugs him. Devour snorts in protest.

"Puppy!"

"Yeah, a puppy alright..."

Moloch turned around to leave finally this time.

"... See ya!"

"Moloch..."

Moloch burns a black flame as he yells out in annoyance.

"WHAT!?"

"Thanks..."

Moloch quickly calms down. He quickly composes himself and clears his throat.

"Oh, okay you're welcome."

Moloch disappears in a gulf of black flame He has a new toy to play with and his name is "Calypso". His laugh echoes throughout the night leaving Asher, Magan, and Jessica alone.
