{Victoria}

Once we got back to Delilah and Ben's house they escorted us inside and sat us down on the couch.

"Okay, we need to call the doctor and let's get them some blankets to cover up in," Ben said.

His men standing behind him nodded. They left the room and they seemed rather excited when they left.

Ben smiled. "Don't mind them. They're always like that after I give them an order."

"I don't know why considering those are your right hand men," Delilah said.

Ben rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah whatever."

That's when I saw them, Ben had black wings coming out of his back signaling that he was a demon. My eyes went wide when I saw that and Ben smirked.

Delilah looked at me and frowned. "There's no need to be afraid of Ben. He's an ally as a matter of fact, he's the one who found the cave. And I'm the one who rescued you."

I fought the urge to roll my eyes by putting on a smile. "Thanks, for rescuing me, Delilah."

Ben's men came back with two blankets and Walter and I took the blankets and I wrapped myself up in one.

"The doctor will be here for you soon," Ben said.

He started to leave the room and motioned for Delilah to follow him. Delilah sighed and followed him out of the room.

Ever since Princess Victoria returned to Earth I had to keep a lid on my excitement on being able to serve her while she's on Earth. I decided to request an audience with Prince Alastor about possibly transferring my services to Princess Victoria.

"So you do know that the transfer ritual is rather painful right?" Prince Alastor asked.

I nodded. "Yes I understand."

"And do you understand that since you're married to Princess Victoria's 'mother' you'll have to play the part of her 'step-dad.' At least while she's here on Earth?" Prince Alastor asked.

I nodded again. "Yes, Your Highness."

He sighed, "Alright then, seeing that you don't really have a master, I shall grant you that permission. Once the Princess goes back to Hell to live permanently, you are to follow her back there as her servant, got it?"

"Yes, I understand Your Highness," I said.

"Good, we'll do the transfer ceremony this weekend and I will inform Her Highness about this," Prince Alastor said. "You may go now."

"Yes, Your Highness," I said.

I walked out of his office practically jumping with joy. I got in my car and went home.

When I got home I walked down the hallway towards the kitchen, I paused when I overheard Princess Victoria and Prince Walter talking about me in one of the guest rooms.

"You saw it right?" Princess Victoria asked.

"Yeah, I did. Ben's a demon and that possibly means that he's an ally," Prince Walter said.

She shook her head. "I don't know, he's married to Delilah."

"Yeah just because he's married to Delilah doesn't mean he's evil. Frank was married to Delilah and he's not evil," Prince Walter pointed out.

I went up to the room and knocked on the door. "Come in!"

When I opened the door I bowed. "Your Highness, I know eavesdropping isn't polite but I overheard you talking about me. And I want you to know that I'm on your side. As a matter of fact, I will be one of your servants while you're on Earth."

"You may rise," Prince Walter commanded.

I stood up and looked at them.

Princess Victoria gave me a skeptical look. "What about Delilah?"

"Don't worry about her Your Highness-" I started.

"Victoria," Princess Victoria said. "While Walter and I are on Earth finishing up some unfinished business, please don't address us as Your Highness. People are going to think you're crazy. For now, it's just Victoria and Walter. No nicknames for me! It's just Victoria."

I nodded. "Okay then. But what if I call you Princess as a nickname? Because it's gonna feel kind of weird not addressing you properly."

Princess Victoria groaned. "Nope, no nicknames, means no nicknames. But only while we're on Earth. When we go back to Hell, then you can address me properly."

"Yes, Your-" I started. She gave me a sideways look. "I mean, Victoria."

Her name coming out of my mouth without her proper title sounded kind of weird but I knew I was going to have to get used to it.

"You may go now," Princess Victoria said.

I nodded and gave her a short bow and left the room.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Parker walked into a church and walked down the hallway behind the confessional booths. He walked until he got towards the basement where the sealing ritual was done every year on Princess Victoria's birthday.

Parker knew that box wasn't going to hold the Princess's powers for very long. That's because a woman named Karma had already foretold about a huge pandemic that would lead to World War III. That was one of the many reasons he had for helping the humans kidnap Princess Victoria from her crib.

Parker didn't like humans, not one little bit. To him humans are greedy selfish creatures that will do whatever it takes to get a head. He knew that humans made up an idea of a demon named Pandora that was so evil that even Satan was afraid of her. The idea that Satan was afraid of one of his subjects was laughable and Satan did laugh at the idea before his first daughter was born.

Satan liked the name Pandora so he named his daughter that and it kind of backfired on him. Considering the fact that humans saw that there was actually a demon named Pandora but the demon wasn't an ancient demon like the humans thought. The demon that they had summoned turned out to be a toddler. They somehow managed to transfer the child into a magic crystal prism and planted it into a vessel.

When the vessel gave birth to Pandora, they opted to give the child away to a human family that pledged to take care of things.

It was because of the prophecy that Parker agreed to help the humans out in exchange for one thousand human souls that would be brought to Hell.

Even though Parker knew he would face the wrath of Satan once the Princess was brought home, he didn't care. He wanted to see the greedy humans suffer and if the Princess wasn't kidnapped like she was then the prophecy had a chance of not coming true.

Once Parker got to the basement he walked up to a room that a black wooden door that had a pentagram drawn on it. He knocked on the door, well actually he slammed his fists on the door in such a way that commanded attention.

"Yes, c-come in!" A fearful voice stuttered.

Parker pulled the door open to reveal a young man sitting at his desk with black robes on and a white collar around his neck. The robes and collar signified that he was the leader of the church.

Parker started feeling angry as soon as he caught sight of the guy. The man sitting at the desk was the very same man who promised to bring him one thousand souls twenty-six years ago and he still has yet to fulfill his end of the deal.

Parker gave the young man a sinister smile. "Daniel."

The young man glared at Parker. "Father Daniel."

Parker gave him a sideways look. "Excuse me?"

"You're in my church Parker. The proper name is Father Daniel," the young man said.

"Yeah go fuck yourself Daniel!" Parker said with contempt.

Daniel gasped, "I will not allow you to use-"

Before Daniel could finish his sentence Parker flicked his finger and the desk that Daniel was sitting at flew into a nearby wall shattering it to pieces. The contents on the now shattered desk spilled out onto the floor. Parker grabbed Daniel by the neck and slammed him up against the wall.

"Now you listen to me asshole," Park snarled. "You might run this church but you don't run me! As a matter of fact once you make a deal with a demon, especially a crossroads demon your life isn't your life anymore. Your life belongs to the demon you made the deal with. You made the deal with me so I own you and I will address you in any way I please. So if I decide to call you a dog, you answer me without complaint. If I decide to just call you human or creature, you will answer me without complaint. Do you understand?"

Daniel didn't do anything but stare at Parker with contempt and disgust. Parker squeezed his neck a little, not enough to cut off his air supply, but enough to make it difficult to breathe. Parker snarled at him again, "I said, do you understand, dog?"

"Yes, Parker," Daniel croaked.

Parker shook his head. "Ah, ah, ah, nope! That's not the correct response! Dog, the correct response is yes, Master! Because you are beneath me, you wouldn't be able to be a leader of this church without me and my power. Do you understand me, Dog?"

"Yes, Master," Daniel said.

"Good," Parker said. He let go of Daniel's neck and Daniel fell to the floor coughing. But before he could recover, Parker gave him a swift kick in his stomach. The kick was so hard it knocked the wind out of Daniel.

Parker pulled up the chair that Daniel had been sitting on and so sat down. He stared at Daniel and waited for him to recover.

"Now, you do realize that the box that you put Pandora's powers in isn't going to hold her powers for much longer, right?" Parker asked.

"Huh? But I thought the sealing ritual that we do every year works?" Daniel said. He went to stand up but Parker stopped him.

"You stay sitting, Dog," Parker commanded.

Daniel obeyed the command and remained where he was.

"Unfortunately this year I don't think the sealing ritual will work. Now, I did my end of the bargain and helped you kidnap the Princess, you need to fulfill your end," Parker said.

"But, finding one thousand souls isn't that easy. I would be forsaking my duty to protect those in my flock if I gave them to you," Daniel said.

Parker snickered. "Forsaking your duty? Seriously? Bitch please, you already were forsaking your duty once you made a deal with me. Or did you forget what I am?"

Daniel sighed, "Yes, I know you're a demon."

Parker nodded. "Exactly. Now, cancel your sermon today because we have something to take care of."

"But-" Daniel said.

"No, buts Dog," Parker cut him off. "We have to take care of this now. Summon the others because soon the ruler of Hell's fury will be upon us. And I don't have the power to protect you from him."

That evening, Daniel and Parker stood in front of an altar that Pandora's box was sitting on. As Daniel and Parker lead the group of six people chanting to try and reseal it, the box only became more active. It only settled down once Daniel signaled to Parker that the ritual wasn't working.

"Well it's about time I tracked you down Parker!" A voice roared from behind them.

Parker stiffened at the voice because the voice came from none other than Satan himself. However once Parker turned around he saw a faint red light glowing and it slowly turned into a portal. Satan stepped through the portal and stood before Parker.

"I would shake in fear but I'm not sorry for what I've done," Parker said with a wicked smile.

"Of course you're not," Satan said. He rolled his eyes. "No one is the least bit remorseful about kidnapping my daughter. But, that's what makes punishing you guys so much fun! As of today, you Parker will be stripped of your human form and any human who made a deal with you will die."

"Your Majesty-" Parker said while staring at Satan with wide eyes.

Satan smirked. "What do you want me to show mercy? Yeah I don't think so. The humans should've thought twice before involving themselves with demons." He paused when he saw Pandora's box sitting on top of the altar. "I do believe that box belongs to my daughter and I know that type of altar very well.

"It is the type of altar that is used to seal a demon's powers inside a box. That means that I can't open the box or take it from the altar. Only Pandora can do that. With that in mind, I'm sealing off this place to other humans and demons. Pandora will be the only one who can retrieve the box once she comes. And I'm destroying this building.

"Don't worry I'll make sure that the humans who haven't made a deal with you are safely out of the building before it collapses."

Satan snapped his fingers and the building started to shake and moments later he snapped his fingers again to produce a silver collar with a silver chain. He placed the collar around Parker's neck.

That was when Parker did start to shake in fear. Satan laughed when he saw that. "Now you're afraid? I guess you thought that you were the big man on campus seeing as you're a crossroads demon and all. And if you're worried about the humans, I'll say it again. The humans should've thought twice before making deals with demons."

Shortly after that Satan dragged Parker through the portal with him and the church collapsed. The only deaths that happened were the humans who made deals with Parker just like what Satan said would happen.
