I opened my eyes only to be met with darkness and it felt hot, really hot, and not in a good way. I heard screaming and I couldn't figure out where the hell I was. The last thing I remember was passing out after a long day of work with some slight chest pains and now I'm here. Although I have no idea where here is.

I heard someone sit down next to me and they asked, "So how did you die?"

I blinked. "Excuse me? Who are you? And where am I?"

"My name is Alex and you're dead and we're in Hell. It might take a moment or two to adjust your eyesight to this place. It tends to be rather dim here in the first few moments of arriving," the person said.

I blinked several times and just like Alex said my eyesight adjusted to the environment. I saw that I was sitting in what looked like a huge waiting room of sorts. I looked around to see that there were no exits to the place so leaving wasn't an option. Everyone in the room was dressed in dirty brown clothes that looked like whoever made them just cut up a potato sack and turned it into a shirt.

Everyone wore brown potato sack shirts and brown pants and sandals on their feet. I looked down to see that I was wearing the same type of outfit. I looked at the young man next to me and he was wearing the same thing that I was and his head was shaved. I reached up to find that my hair had been pulled back into a ponytail.

"Okay, where are we?" I asked.

"We're in Hell," Alex answered.

"Well this looks more like a prison than Hell," I said.

"It's because this is the intake area. We wait here until it's our turn to be punished and then we're sent off to our eternal punishment. I've only been dead for six months and my turn will be soon. They don't get to you right away. There are thirteen different Princes that oversee punishments. So who knows when you'll be getting yours unless you're being punished by the King of Hell himself," Alex explained. "And-"

"Megan Sanders!" Someone called out.

Alex gulped. "If you're getting called for punishment this quickly, then that means…"

I looked over to see someone dressed as a guard marching towards me.

He grunted. "Megan Sanders, you're coming with me. His Majesty will be overseeing your punishment personally."

I took note of how he emphasized the word personally as if the King of Hell had an ax to grind with me for some reason. Everyone in the immediate area gasped when they heard what the guard said and they murmured amongst themselves.

"Wow, she must've really fucked up if the King of Hell is going to punish her right off the bat."

"I saw her pop up just yesterday! She just opened her eyes only to be punished. Tsk, tsk sad."

I ignored the people murmuring. I was just trying to figure out what I did to get the King of Hell pissed off at me. I mean I know I made that deal with Parker and I belong to a demon now but to piss off the King of Hell? I wondered if it had something to do with not fulfilling my end of the deal that I made with Parker? I had no idea.

I would find out soon enough as I followed the guard down the hallway to see the King of Hell.

***

When we finally stopped walking, we stopped in front of two huge wooden doors. Each door had a pentagram carved into it. The guard paused and looked at me. "When you go in there you bow and do not look His Majesty in the eyes unless he tells you to. Do you understand human?"

I gulped and nodded.

We entered the room and my jaw dropped when I saw an older man that looked like the male version of Victoria sitting on a throne. My eyes widen at the thought that my ex-girlfriend might've been the King of Hell's daughter!

The man sitting on the throne rolled his eyes. "Wow, you humans think you're so special that you gawk at the ruler of Hell as if he is your equal?"

"Bow to His Majesty!" The guard behind me barked.

When I didn't bow quick enough the man sitting on the throne stood up and walked up to me and slapped me. "How dare you join an organization that kidnapped my daughter! Better yet, how dare you make a deal with a demon to toy with my daughter's emotions!"

I didn't say anything because I was speechless. I didn't realize that Victoria was Satan's daughter. True, the Fifth kidnaps children from supernatural species and has human families raise them but I didn't think they'd go so far as to kidnap the ruler of Hell's child.

In kidnapping supernatural children the goal was to show that they could live in peace with humans. I think it's dumb and that there is a better way for supernatural beings and humans to live in peace together than kidnapping children.

"I… I didn't realize that Victoria was your daughter!" I exclaimed.

Satan grabbed my chin and made me look at him. "That doesn't give you the right to use magic to toy with anyone's feelings. My daughter was questioning her sexuality because of you! Now, you're going to tell me about the other two boxes that the Fifth used to seal her powers away when they kidnapped her."

I knew what he was talking about but there were three boxes that were used to seal away Victoria's powers because the Fifth thought that Pandora was going to be an ancient demon willing to do their dirty work for them. But what they got was a toddler. Very incredibly strong toddler. It was clear that her powers had just awoken at that time. I know because I was there that day Pandora was summoned.

That was the night of a full moon and I remember being very excited to attend my first summoning ritual.

I remember running to the ritual area and in my excitement I had forgotten my magic stone so I had to go back to my room to get it.

As soon as I exited the room I bumped into the Head witch Mr. Perkins and he didn't look too happy to see me.

"Aren't you supposed to be at the ritual site, Sanders?" Mr. Perkins growled.

"I'm sorry teacher but I forgot my magic stone," I said.

"Follow me. I know a shortcut because the ritual will be starting soon and I don't feel like being late," He said.

He snapped his fingers and we were teleported to the ritual site.

I was snapped out of my memory when Satan slapped me. "You dare to daydream in front of me! I bet you won't be so bold when I get done punishing you. But first…"

Satan's eyes turned from all black to all red. I wanted to look away in fear or close my eyes but I couldn't. I felt a slight pressure in the back of my head and the room started spinning on me and I passed out.

{omniscient}

The High Ruler was pissed when she heard about what happened with Victoria and Walter. She called a meeting with the High Council and since she is the High Ruler the High Council cannot refuse her request.

There are thirteen members of the High Council currently and they are of different supernatural species, werewolves, gate welders, witches, demons, fairies and giants. Thankfully the briefing room held enough space for everyone to sit around the table and have enough room to breathe.

"Alright everyone settle down, let's talk business," High Ruler Trinity said. One of the High Council Members raised their hand. She nodded. "Yes, High Council Member Mark?"

"Have you finally decided on what you're going to do with the Fifth? Something needs to be done about them. We've tried to fight back against them in our realms on our own but I don't think we can fight on our own anymore," High Council Member Mark said.

High Ruler Trinity nodded. "Yeah I know. It's recently come to my attention that Satan's daughter was kidnapped along with Alastor's son by the Fifth twenty-nine years ago. It makes me wonder what the previous High Ruler was doing about this. But that's why I called you guys here today. I believe the Fifth should be destroyed and every single of its members executed. All of you who agree with me raise your hands."

Every single person in the room raised their hands in agreement.

"Good," High Ruler Trinity said.

"So what's the plan?" Another High Council Member said.

"High Council Member Tracy, I have found their headquarters and we catch them off guard and ambush them. Their headquarters are out in the middle of a forest, in the middle of nowhere," High Ruler Trinity answered. "I say we ambush them and take their leaders by force, execute them and their followers. Women and children that follow these leaders will not be spared."

A couple of High Council Members gasped but then after a moment or two they nodded in agreement.

"I know it's a hard thing to do but the Fifth signed their death certificates the moment they started kidnapping our children and selling them off to humans to turn them into something that they are not," High Ruler Trinity said. "I plan to have this take place on Saturday. If anyone wishes to have warriors from their kingdoms participate in the war send them to me by portal transfer tomorrow. I'll make sure to have my Gate Wielders greet them personally. That is all for this meeting."

As the rest of the High Council Members left High Ruler Trinity's Royal Advisor entered the room. "His Majesty, King Satan is here to see you as requested, Your Majesty."

"Alright, send him in," High Ruler Trinity said.

Satan entered the room and bowed. "Your Majesty."

"You may rise. It still feels weird having people bow to me. Especially another ruler," High Ruler Trinity laughed. "So have a seat."

Satan took a seat across from her at the table. "I hear you plan to execute the members of the Fifth?"

She nodded. "Yes, do you have a problem with that?"

Satan smiled and shook his head. "Nope, I don't have any problem with it. You do realize that they have more than one headquarters, right?"

She nodded again. "Oh yeah I know. I plan to ambush all three of their headquarters and help you find the other two boxes that the Fifth sealed your daughter's powers away in. But before I give back the other two boxes to her I want to test her to see if she can control her powers. I hear she's been having power surges?"

"Yes, she has been and I have a feeling that the power surges won't stop until she gets rid of her original body," Satan said.

"Makes sense because she's not entirely dead. I hated my power surges," High Ruler Trinity said.

"How bad were yours?" Satan asked.

"They were pretty bad considering I'm a hybrid. And from what I know of power surges are worse for hybrids. My power surges felt like I was being cooked from the inside out," High Ruler Trinity said. "And I dealt with the pain by drinking the blood of my parents. At least they cared enough to give me that much. I still have no idea why that works but it does. I shudder to think about how the kids that don't have families deal with power surges."

She shuddered at that thought. When she composed herself she said, "So the ambush starts on Saturday and on all three headquarters. If you have any warriors you'd like to send to join in on the fight, send them to me tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Satan said.

"You may go now," High Ruler Trinity said.

Without another word, Satan stood up and left the room.

Location: The Fifth's first Headquarters in a forest out in the middle of nowhere

High Ruler Trinity stood on the frontlines with her army ready to confront the Fifth and make them pay for their crimes. But she wanted to be fair and give them a chance to surrender before she killed them. If they didn't go to their deaths peacefully then she would take them by force.

So she sent a messenger to the front gates and told the guards to deliver her message to the Fifth's leaders. The message was for them to come out peacefully with her to the castle in her realm or they would be taken by force.

Of course the Fifth sent the message with their reply that was a long winded version of the words 'fuck you' and that made her smile.

"Well then," She said to herself, "war it is!" She turned to face her army and casted a spell that allowed her fly high enough in the air that she hovered over her army. The spell also allowed her voice to be loud enough to be heard by everyone.

"Brothers and sisters! My family, my warriors, I know plenty of you are ready to see to the destruction of this cowardly organization! They go against our laws that have let us live in peace with humans and other non supernatural beings for years! They've been kidnapping our children and changing them into something that they are not! They claim that they can get rid of every immoral being on Earth by using the very thing that they view as immoral just to get ahead!

"This will not stand any longer! Everyone within this organization will be killed, that includes women and children that are in the organization and the elderly! We must not let anyone escape! They signed their death certificates the moment they started kidnapping our children and possibly killing their parents in the pursuit of power that does not belong to them! This ends today! They end today!"

When High Ruler Trinity released the spell she floated back down to the ground gracefully and the crowd cheered.

High Ruler Trinity's warriors consisted of every supernatural being that she ruled over. There were werewolf packs, witch covens, fairy guilds and giants among other species that led their groups in teams. High Ruler Trinity stood tall and relayed her message to the team captains. "On my mark, get ready to fight! Werewolves and any other species that needs to shift get ready to shift in three… Two… One…"

She jumped into the air and shifted into her wolf named Danger. Ever since she became High Ruler, her wolf grew three times bigger! Danger was stronger, had more muscles, speed and power than she ever had before she became High Ruler. Danger was a proud wolf and she was more than ready to go into battle.

Thankfully because of technology advancements and the magic of witches, High Trinity's clothes did not rip off her body when she transformed into Danger. They stayed on and they were easy to move in.

The Fifth put up a barrier that kept High Ruler Trinity's army out for the moment. They also had their witches stationed above their gates. No one made a move at first but when High Ruler Trinity shifted the witches standing at the gates cast their spells.

The Gate Wielders that were standing behind High Ruler Trinity, used their magic to summon their gates and deflect as much of the magic as they could.

Fairies took to the air and the witches that were on High Ruler Trinity's side took to the air as well and they cast counterspells killing any witch that they recognized as the enemy as much as possible. As a lot of bodies of dead witches fell to ground they were replaced with demon warriors that fought for the Fifth.

Even though the demon warriors were strong, the demon warriors that were on High Ruler Trinity's side were stronger because they came from Satan, Alastor and the other Prince's of Hell's clans. The demon warriors that fought on the side of the Fifth were of the lesser and weaker clans that no one really knew about.

Although they gave the demons who fought on High Ruler Trinity's trash talk saying things like, "You cower behind the High Ruler when we fight our own battles!"

"Why don't you guys go back to the castle in Hell while we do your dirty work?"

The demon's that were on High Ruler Trinity's side said things like, "We don't hide behind the High Ruler! If we did hide behind her we wouldn't be out on the battlefield sending you guys back to Hell!"

"We can't wait until Alastor gets a hold of you and we hope that His Majesty Satan throws you guys into the thirteenth ring of Hell for punishment!"

The Fifth even went so far as to have their witches and demons use bombs and dropped them on their enemy. But that proved useless because supernatural beings could avoid a man-made bomb faster than any regular human could. The werewolves dodged the bombs with ease.

Within an hour of fighting Danger and the other werewolves with her were able to get by the front gates only to be greeted by more witches. That was when an old man dressed in black robes stepped forward. He stared at Danger with a deadly glare. "I am the main leader of this compound. Have you no mercy for the women, children and elderly here? Your fight is with me and my warriors leave the women, children and elderly out of this! Please I beg of you! Think of the innocent ones here!"

Danger laughed. Ever since High Ruler Trinity became the High Ruler Danger had been able to do things that she was never able to do like talk without a mindlink. Danger gave the old man a sinister smile and said, "Mercy? Your women, children and elderly deserve mercy? They do not deserve mercy because they were involved in the very same activities you and your warriors were involved in. They signed their death certificates the moment they joined sides with you. Everyone in this organization will die! No exceptions!"

"Fine then!" The old man growled. He nodded towards one of his warriors.

Once he stepped back into the building the warrior that he nodded to shouted, "Warriors! Fire!"

The warriors behind him had their hands lit up casting spell after spell at Danger and the other warriors with her. That didn't stop them. As a matter of fact, it didn't even leave a scratch on them! When the smoke from the attacks settled the warriors facing them had shocked expressions on their faces.

Danger moved forward and she was so quick that if you blinked you would've missed her next actions. She tackled the lead warrior and ripped his throat out. The other warriors around her approached and tried to attack her but she made quick work of them by turning around and slashing their throats with her swords.

She looked back at the warriors she was with and they looked at her with their jaws dropped. She rolled her eyes. "Follow me."

Her warriors moved behind her without question. The warriors barged into the room checking every nook and cranny and killed everyone that they could find in the room. The screams and shouts of those being murdered didn't bother Danger in the slightest. She had another mission to go along with this war. The mission was to find the other two boxes that the Fifth had Victoria's powers sealed away in.

Charlotte, High Ruler Trinity's shadow said something through the mindlink that made her stop short. Trinity, I sense a huge power source in the next room. It might be one of Princess Victoria's boxes or it could be a summoning ritual being done.

Well if it's a summoning ritual being done we can't have that! The main reason we're here is to stop the Fifth from kidnapping supernatural children! Let's go! High Ruler Trinity thought.

Danger ran down the hallway and went to where Charlotte directed her. Sure enough there was a summoning ritual going on. There was a pentagram drawn on the floor with candles sitting at the five points of the star and there was a woman sitting in the middle of the circle. She looked up and smirked. "You're too late. I have a child inside of me! And this one is a demon. I'm honored to raise it as mine."

"Fuck you!" Danger growled. She rushed at the woman only to be met with a barrier. When she stood up she looked at her warriors and commanded. "Kill the summoners! That's the only reason the barriers is up."

The woman sitting in the middle of the circle smiled. "Are you sure about that? The summoner-"

She didn't get a chance to finish her sentence when the summoners were killed and the barrier surrounding her went down and Danger charged forward and ripped the woman's throat out, killing her instantly.

Charlotte used her magic to reverse the summoning spell and the child inside the woman's womb back to their parents safe and sound.

That day everyone involved with the Fifth in that location died and all of the demons fighting on the Fifth's side were sent back to Hell for Alastor and Satan to deal with. But unfortunately at that location High Ruler Trinity didn't find one of Princess Victoria's boxes because Satan had already found the box for that location.

{Satan}

Location: The second Headquarters of the Fifth. This location is also in a forest.

I stood at the ready at the front gates of the second location of the Fifth for battle. I had received word that the High Ruler Trinity allowed the Fifth to surrender and of course they told her to go fuck herself. I should've told her that the Fifth would never surrender. They fight dirty and wouldn't give up unless they were dead.

Well the jokes on them because now Alastor has new inmates to torture. There was one woman who was a vessel that had a demon child in her womb but High Ruler Trinity made sure to kill her and send the baby back to their parents before it was too late.

I really respect High Ruler Trinity with her ways of ruling. She's only been ruling over the Celestial Realm for a decade now and her decisions with her subjects have been fair.

At this location I didn't do what High Ruler Trinity did because I know the Fifth's nature. So why would I waste my breath when I already know what their response will be?

While High Ruler Trinity's army was made up of all of the species she rules over, my army is mostly demon warriors and witches. The demons and witches that stood by my side were some of the strongest warriors in Hell and the same went for the witches. I actually had the witches cast a spell to make themselves smaller so it would be easy for them to sneak past the gates and past the guards.

I told them that once they got inside to cast a spell that would let me know and find the Fifth's leaders that manage this location. I even placed some of my warriors at every exit and every 'secret passage' in order not take a chance on anyone escaping. I made sure that the witches that were stationed at the exits placed a huge boulder in front of them so that everything was blocked off.

Now all I had to do was get the signal from the witches who were inside and start the attack. It took about an hour of waiting until everything was set up. Once we got the signal from a witch who had cast a spell to make herself smaller we went into the compound. The whole place looked like a small village. There was a school building, a town hall building and houses lined up across from each other in one small street. It's too bad because those houses would be burnt to the ground soon.

There was a police station and when I saw that it made me scoff and think, Police station my ass! Why the fuck would they need a police station for? To manage the children that they kidnap and to make sure that no one is looking for the parents that they killed?

In the center of the village was a huge temple. A lot of witch covens use some sort of temple to worship in, if the coven is big enough. This coven was big enough no surprise there. A lot of covens that are involved in organized religion tend to have some sort of area that they can worship in. Some of them just worship in a small field in order to be one with nature where they feel their magic is the strongest.

Just as I was getting closer to the temple one of the guards saw me.

"Halt!" The guard shouted. "Who goes there?!"

I paused and rolled my eyes and covered my mouth to stifle a laugh. Who goes there? Seriously? If I didn't know any better I'd say we've been transported back to medieval times.

I kept silent because I had cast an invisibility spell with my magic and stood still. The spell would make me invisible but not quiet.

The guard shrugged and turned around but as he did that an arrow went through his back and straight through his heart. I silently cheered for my warrior who moved so quickly as to take the enemy down.

I had a feeling that one or more of Victoria's boxes might be at the temple or at the police station. The boxes would be in an underground room at this location under lock and key. But that's okay because Victoria will be able to open the boxes when the time comes.

The battle started once the guard was attacked and I could hear the shouts of people fighting all around me. As I walked towards the police station I was immediately surrounded by police officers. They drew their guns at me. I had a feeling that they might've been able to cast some sort of spell that would allow them to see an invisible intruder in their territory.

"Reveal yourself now intruder!" One police officer shouted. He looked like he was in his early twenties and wore a standard police uniform. His uniform was black and he had his weapons belt around his waist and he had his gun drawn.

I smiled because I had a feeling this was an officer that had never seen battle before. Actually by the way these officers were acting, none of them had seen battle before. They looked nervous which I understand because when you're fighting for your life you'd be a little bit nervous if not scared out of your mind.

I reversed the spell and gave the officers a sinister smile as their faces went pale. "Gentlemen! Having a nice day are we? I hope I'm not interrupting anything? I wonder, do you know where the Fifth is keeping my daughter's boxes?"

I heard one of the officers' radios go off and the voice said, "That is Satan the Devil himself! Open fire and wait until the summoning squad gets here. They'll send him back to Hell where he belongs!"

I couldn't help but laugh at that. So I taunted them. "Go ahead and fire your silly guns at me. Oh and I'd love to see what the summoning squad can do."

The officers open fired on me. When they were finished emptying out their guns on me, I stood tall and gave them a sinister smile. I cocked my head to the side and taunted, "You done yet? If you haven't emptied out all of your weapons, then by all means please continue."

"The summoning squad is here! All officers retreat!" The lead officer said.

He and the other officers scattered like cockroaches. Silver chains came flying at me out of nowhere and I rolled my eyes. How silly of these humans to think they can control the Devil with mere silver! Idiots! Time to deal with these pesky little flies!

Silver doesn't really affect me as much as it would a lesser demon. But being the King of Hell has its perks like that. When I started training to become the next ruler I remember coming in contact with silver hurt like a bitch. But now, silver doesn't hurt me anymore. So I transformed into my demon form. My demon form is four times bigger than my human form. When I'm transformed as a human I'm at least six feet tall and that's pretty tall by human standards but short by demon standards.

In my demon form I'm ten feet tall! For demons that is pretty tall. The average height for a demon is about seven to eight feet tall. My horns grew out of my head and my wings and tail grew out and it felt good to be in my demon form.

I was surrounded by a group of witches dressed in black robes and they started casting spell after spell and I could feel what each spell was supposed to do. Some of the witches attacked me with damage spells that were supposed to weaken me enough for their leader to cast his exorcist spell. I knew because I could hear what the witches were thinking, that's just one of my abilities. I hope that when Victoria starts developing more abilities that she'll have this same ability.

The attacks that the witches put out deflected off of me and I just stood there rolling my eyes. Then I came up with a plan. I thought I'd let the leader, who would most likely be the leader of this headquarters, attack me with his exorcist spell so he could stun me and bring me to the altar room. Hopefully, that would give me a lead as to where one of Victoria's boxes were.

The leader of the summoning squad finally stepped forward and gave me a wicked smile. "Well, well, I never thought I'd get to see the King of Hell himself grace me with his presence. I know exactly what you're looking for but you're not going to get to it. You know that saying goes 'not today Satan?' Yeah I think the saying applies here in this situation."

I laughed. "Wow, you humans are so cringe with your stupid sayings. But yeah I'll humor you. What exactly will I not be doing today, hmm?"

"You won't be killing any more of my people! Whatever people you and your warriors have killed so far may they rest in peace," the leader sneered.

I snorted. "Oh how noble of you to think that you can order the King of Hell around. But okay I'll stand still so you can carry out your little attack plan."

I did as I said I would do. I stood still and tried not to roll my eyes again when the summoning squad's leader readied his fighting stance and chanted something in Latin that translated to, "With this spell I rebuke thee! With this spell I stun thee."

A bright flash of light appeared in front of me and blinded me for a little bit. But when the light disappeared I found myself lying on the ground. I let the spell affect me because I knew what was going to happen. Every leader of a coven uses this type of spell when they try to get rid of demons. I say try because there really isn't a spell to get rid of demons.

A spell that has silver in it might keep a demon away for a while but they can still choose to haunt someone at any time.

The leader of the summoning squad stood over me and smirked. "You thought you were stronger than me. You're not. You'll see that we take over every supernatural kingdom on Earth and we'll rule over everything. Someone has to keep these immoral beings in check."

I grunted because one of the side effects of the spell is that I lose the ability to speak. I knew that the next part of the spell would put me to sleep so that he could take me to the altar room and from there I could get a good lead as to where Victoria's boxes were.

The leader of the summoning squad kept his smirk as he said, "Goodnight Your Majesty. Have a nice nap."

Shortly after that I fell asleep.

***

{Alastor}

I found it rather amusing that Satan let himself get captured by the summoning squad. I'm sure that they feel victorious at the moment and probably think that they're really going to send Satan back to Hell and banish him from ever returning to Earth. Fools. These humans are about as dumb as they come.

I tried not to laugh as it took almost everyone in the summoning squad and a couple of officers to carry Satan away because he was still in his demon form. I know why he let himself get caught. He was hoping to get a lead on where one of Victoria's boxes were. He thinks he's so smart sometimes but I'm smarter.

But I know once he wakes up he's going to kill every single witch in that altar room.

One of my warriors came up to me and delivered a message. "Prince Alastor, the witches and demons have killed everyone inside the school and the police station. Thankfully there were no prisoners inside the cells. What should we do next?"

"Have you targeted the houses yet?" I asked.

The warrior shook his head. "No, Your Highness."

"That's the next thing you should target," I ordered. "Make sure to check underneath the beds and inside the closets, anywhere humans like to hide when there's danger. We've already blocked every secret passageway so there's no chance for escape. Make sure to get to those that might be hiding in a safe room and kill them."

As the warrior turned around to leave I said, "Oh and one more thing."

"Yes, Your Highness?" The warrior asked.

"Show no sympathy for these people, even the children. High Ruler Trinity has passed down her judgment. And besides, even if they were to repent and change when they get older they're still guilty and they would still be sent to Hell regardless," I said.

As I heard the shouts and screams of the people being murdered I couldn't help but smile because finally justice is being served. I started to sing the same song that I sang to Issac when I was torturing him. "Come on my little inmates have a hellish day! Come on my little inmates! Nobody is innocent in Hell!"

I let out a loud sinister laugh. One everyone was killed on the surface there was one more target left and that was the altar room. I figured I'd let Satan handle that room. It was time for me to go look for Victoria's boxes and I bet I could get to them faster than Satan could.

***

{Satan}

The next time I opened my eyes I looked around and found that I was lying on some sort of table in my human form. I rolled my eyes when I heard people chanting trying to do a spell that would send me back to Hell. As if that would work on the King of Hell himself.

I sat up and laughed at the witches trying their hardest with their spells to contain me. "Did you really think that you would send me back to Hell? You wanna know something funny? I let myself get captured by you freaks."

I swung my legs over the side of the table and stepped down from it. I smiled a sinister smile when every witch in the room stopped chanting and looked at me in horror. I went up to the leader and grabbed him by the throat. "What did you say about not today Satan? And no, you won't be ruling over everything supernatural. We already have a ruler for that and I think she's been pretty good at helping supernatural beings live alongside humans don't you think?"

He wheezed trying to respond to my comment but didn't let him as I put more pressure on his neck. I didn't feel like hearing a long monologue about how he and his minions will rule over the world and blah, blah, blah.

I snapped the guy's neck and his lifeless body fell to the floor with a small thud. I proceeded to kill the rest of the witches in the room and once I composed myself I walked out and found a secret passageway that led to an underground safe room. I stepped over dead bodies and there was a trail of them towards the safe room and I laughed when I saw what was in the room.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me!" I laughed.

In the room was one of Victoria's boxes. It was a silver box that had two crosses on the top of it.

I heard Alastor whistle behind me, "Wow these humans are idiots! Were they really trying to protect something that wasn't theirs to begin with?" Then he added with sarcasm. "How noble of them. Two boxes down and one more to go."

"Do you think the other box is at the next location?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Maybe or maybe not? Remember how we found the first one in that small town? There are smaller branches of the Fifth. So once they hear the bigger locations have been taken out, they'll go into hiding. But it shouldn't be hard to track everyone in the Fifth down. I still have a lot of names to get through. I won't rest until I kill everyone on that list."

"Fine by me," I said. "I think we need to burn all of these buildings down like High Ruler Trinity did with the first location after she and her army killed everyone. It's a shame that she didn't find any of Victoria's boxes there."

He nodded in agreement. Once we burned every single building down we left the location. Two locations down… One more to go…
