Chapter 31: Feelings?

{Walter}

I'm not happy about being stuck on Earth for another year since I've pretty much tied up my loose ends or so I thought. I got a phone call from Aiden with some rather disturbing news. Apparently, Megan was found dead in her room as she had passed away in her sleep. No one knows why.

Then Alastor dropped a bombshell on me. He told me that the demon she made a deal with was involved in my kidnaping. Once Satan found him he stripped the demon of his human form and declared that anyone who made a deal with him would die.

Megan made a deal with Parker and it involved casting a love spell on Victoria. When I found out what the deal was I was pissed! However, I was also comforted by the fact that she was in Hell and Alastor was overseeing her punishment.

"So are you going to tell her about Megan?" Alastor asked.

I shook my head. "I'm not sure. I'm conflicted about it."

He nodded. "That's understandable because she was a close personal friend with you and Victoria's ex-girlfriend. But I wonder if Victoria's feelings for Megan were true because of the love spell?"

"That's why I'm conflicted about it," I said. "Actually, that's the biggest reason why I'm conflicted about it."

He nodded again.

"I'm afraid if I tell her then she'll doubt herself and she might doubt her feelings for me," I said.

"But your feelings are real. Megan's feelings weren't," Alastor said. "Or I could tell her for you?"

I shook my head. "Nah this is my problem to deal with. I'd be a coward if I let my Dad take care of something that I should be taking care of instead."

Alastor chuckled, "Okay then."

After our conversation I went to Victoria's room considering I was still at her house and sat down on the bed.

I heard the shower going so I waited for Victoria to come into the room. When she came into the room she was wrapped in a towel and I could feel myself getting hard. She made eye contact with me and looked down at my crotch and smiled. "Well someone's horny."

"Yes, yes I am but that can wait," I said.

She gave a dramatic gasp, "Who are you and what have you done with Walter? You neeeeever wait for sex when your dick is up."

I snorted. "Yeah sure but this is important. Maybe you should get dressed so I'm not distracted?"

She nodded and went into the walk-in closet and came back a couple minutes later dressed in blue jeans and a t-shirt. Did that help my boner go down? Absolutely not!

I cleared my throat, "It's a good thing you're sitting down for this. So I'll just cut to the chase. Megan's dead."

Victoria gave me a look of disbelief and then she shook her head. "No, no, no, Megan is dead? Megan's healthy! Why would she die?"

"Well Megan is dead. She passed away in her sleep. Keep sitting down because the reason why she passed away was because she made a deal with a crossroads demon who had a hand in our kidnapping. Satan caught the demon and declared everyone who made a deal with the guy is going to die. I wouldn't be surprised if more people wind up dead soon," I said.

Victoria looked like she just couldn't believe her ears. "Megan… Made a deal with a crossroads demon? When did it happen?"

"I'm not sure but it gets worse," I said.

She blinked. "How bad does it get? And how do you know this information?"

"Ever since Alastor's been obsessed with catching the people involved," I sighed. "Not only did she make a deal with a crossroads demon, she unknowingly became involved with our kidnapping."

She nodded slowly. "So what was the deal?"

"Well…" I hesitated.

My hesitation made Victoria annoyed. "Tell me, it can't be that bad right? Right?"

I sighed, "The deal Megan made was that the crossroads demon cast a love spell on you in return for being his sex slave. But that wasn't the original deal, it was the love spell in exchange for human souls."

She fell silent and her eyes were wide. She looked speechless. We sat there in silence for a moment and at first I thought she wasn't going to say anything but she broke the silence first by saying, "Did Alastor find out when the deal was made?"

I looked at her. "When did you and Megan start dating?"

Her eyes were wide as saucers when she answered, "In middle school. My Sophomore year in high school was when Delilah married Howard and…"

"And, what happened?" I asked.

"I started liking her about two months after I met her and she asked me out. We got together and we dated until Howard came along…" She shook her head rapidly. "That can't be true! Does this mean that I've been straight this whole entire time while I thought I liked both men and women? I'm confused. But I did choose female servants in Hell because I thought they were hot. But…"

She went quiet again and just stared off into space. After a moment she stood up.

I frowned. "Where are you going?"

"Out for a walk," Victoria said.

"Do you need company?" I asked

"No, I just need to be alone," She turned to look at me. "You know I love you right?"

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

I smiled. "Yeah and I love you too."

She leaned over and kissed me. "Good, I don't doubt that. I'm just questioning my sexuality at the moment."

That's when I got an idea. "I'll give you some time alone right now but what if I help prove it to you that you're not straight?"

She tilted her head. "Huh? How can you do that?"

"This weekend I'll ask Alastor to send a couple of our female servants to this house and we can have a threesome or foursome so to speak. How does that sound?" I said.

She laughed, "That's just like you Walter. And that's why I love you. Yes, that sounds like a good idea. So what happens if I find out that I'm straight and I was wrong about things this whole entire time?"

"'We'll worry about that bridge when we cross it okay?" I said.

Without another word, she nodded and left the room.

{Victoria}

Confused… Stunned… Confused… That's exactly how I'm feeling at the moment. I mean it's not everyday that you find out that your ex-girlfriend made a deal with a crossroads demon to cast a love spell on you just to get you to like them. Here I am standing out in the middle of the forest behind my house questioning my sexuality.

I've found out a lot about myself this past month. The first thing I learned is that I'm not human, I'm not even crazy, I'm a demon and not just any demon, a Princess, the daughter of the ruler of Hell, Satan. I've also learned that my real name isn't Victoria, it's Pandora and I was sent back to Earth to find my box. Well I'm not really "looking" for my box considering Satan knows where it is and I agreed to stay here for another year to lead his mafia called the Royals.

"Victoria!" I heard a familiar voice call out, "Where are you? It's time to come back inside now!"

I groaned, "Seriously? Who sent you Delilah?"

Delilah paused when I turned around and glared. She shook her head. "No one sent me. I was just concerned because I heard you've been out here alone for six hours. I mean I am your mother so of course I'm concerned."

"Excuse me?" I said. "Say that last part again."

"I am your mother-" Delilah started.

I scoffed, "Yeah no, you're not and you never were. I've stripped you of that title for a reason and don't ever think you can get it back. It's too late to make amends now bitch."

Delilah's jaw clenched. "Then how can I fix this?"

"It's simple," I said while giving her a pointed look. "You don't. Seeing that I have people looking for me I'd better get back to the house before there's a search party sent out for me."

"But-"

I shook my head. "Don't. Now let's get going."

Once we arrived back at my house I saw Ben, Walter and Jenny sitting on the couch looking at me with concern.

"Are you-" Ben said.

"I'm fine now," I said.

He gave me a wary look. "You sure?"

I shrugged. "I'm about as fine as I'll ever be."

Delilah looked confused. "What's going on?"

"Were you paying attention to what was being said at the last meeting we had with the mafia?" Ben said.

Delilah looked down. "Nope."

"Yeah you need to start paying attention or you're going to wind up getting yourself killed. You are married to me after all," Ben lectured.

"Okay, so what happened?" Delilah asked.

Ben sighed, "Megan died."

Delilah was confused for a minute but then it clicked. "Megan, as in Victory's ex-girlfriend, Megan?"

He nodded. "Yup, that's the one and not only that, Victoria will be the new leader of the Royals."

Delilah's jaw dropped and the look on her face was priceless. "Victory's going to be the leader of the mafia that owns ours?"

"Yes, I am," I said. "Apparently my real father is the leader of the Royals. But I'm only going to be doing that for a year. I'm not going to explain why but it'll just be for a year and I'll do my art job on the side when I have time."

Delilah looked at me. "You know a year's a lot of time. If I can make amends-"

I scoffed, "You're crazy and again the answer is no. Sad that you waited until I got kidnapped to want to make amends. Not happening."

"But Victory-" Delilah said.

"And that's another thing!" I spat. "Stop calling me that goddamn nickname! All my life, my name has been shortened all to hell! Vic, Vickiy, Victory, Ria, Tori and the list goes on and on! At this point I'd rather go by my real name instead!"

Delilah paused. "What is your so-called 'real name' because to me your real name is the one that I gave you."

"Oh go fuck yourself bitch! You're not my real mother, you're not even my real family! Just because you put a name on a certificate doesn't mean it is my real name!" I said with my voice raising a couple of notches.

"But I rescued you! That should count for something shouldn't it?" Delilah asked.

I facepalmed and laughed, "Are you kidding me? So you think rescuing me cancels out every single bad thing you've done to me? You think I don't remember the times you tried to kill me when I was younger? The media might be singing your praises now but I'm not and I never will!"

I didn't say anything else and I didn't want to listen to what else Delilah had to say so I ran upstairs and slammed the door to my room shut.

{Delilah}

Once Victoria ran upstairs she slammed her door shut and it was so loud I was surprised the door didn't fall off its hinges.

"If that's not expressing hatred for someone, I don't know what else is!" Ben exclaimed.

Walter stood up. "Yeah, I'm going to go check on her."

When Walter started for the stairs I stopped him. He tilted his head. "What?"

"How can I fix this?" I asked.

He sighed, "Honestly, I don't think you can fix this. Just leave her alone okay?"

I hung my head in defeat. "Okay."

Ben stood up next and motioned for me to follow him. "Come on, let's go home."

I nodded and once we got home I went to the kitchen and got a drink. It was whiskey. I poured myself a drink and downed it in one go.

"What's so special about Victory?" I muttered. I poured myself another drink and downed that one the same as the last one. "That stupid bitch! I saved her! I fucking saved her! She is so ungrateful! She should be thanking me for not giving her up for adoption to begin with."

"Okay I think you've had enough to drink Delilah," I heard Ben say.

I looked at him. "What's so special about Victory? I mean I know I wasn't a good parent and all but…"

"You were more than just a horrible parent. You tried to kill her! Geez woman, take some accountability for once," Ben snapped. "Do you even hear yourself talk? You didn't give her up for adoption because in your own words, Jaxon and Jenny were smitten with her and you felt that would be cruel to them. What kind of parent does that? You keep a child that you clearly didn't want, blame it on your other children just so you could abuse the child that you didn't want.

"You know what type of parent does that? An evil type of parent and I've seen my fair share of evil parents. Hell, I've seen parents sell their children, their own biological children off just to settle a debt with the mafia and you're right up there with them. But it's okay because I still love you even though you're evil. You're an evil bitch but you're my evil bitch and you're perfect to be married to the Don of a mafia because of how evil you are."

"Thanks," I said. I poured myself another glass.

Right when I was about to drink Ben stopped me. "I think you've had enough. You're going to have a headache as it is in the morning. Let's go to bed."

I followed Ben to bed. When I laid down I couldn't stop thinking of a way to get Victoria to at least forgive me. Although I had a feeling that forgiveness might never come.
