So I set the stage and asked Maria to go to the festival with me. Thankfully, she didn’t refuse. Though how could she refuse my charm.
“Don’t fool yourself now Marcel, we still have to work out any kinks that may come up during the festival’s opening.” Crimson’s voice chimed in as she pulled me from my train of thoughts.
“You can not let me have one accomplishment now can you?” I glared at her as I sat on the edge of my king size bed. I laid my back against the comforting cotton and stared at the black canopy that draped over the bed.
She remained standing, staring at me with a glare in her eye, “Please, I'll let you have your accomplishment once the princess is dead.”
I groaned and sat up, “I told you, the way her blood tasted, the power that resides within her, will only make her soul stronger.”
She rolled her eyes at me and spoke in disgust, “Please you only hope to get into her pants.”
“That’s not-”
“If you say that is not true, you are full of shit Marcel. You may be a devil, but I see the way you look at her.” She snapped.
“Jealousy much?” I retorted back. Her jealousy over Maria was really starting to get on my nerves. But I couldn’t do this plan without her.
“Please, why would I be jealous of you?” She hissed.
Why did this conversation get so heated? Hell…balancing these two females is starting to prove more work than I bargained for. Sex one night…then hatred the following day. Women can be hard to handle.
With a sigh, I laid back down. There was no way I was going to pick a fight with her now. I needed Crimson. “Whatever the case, I got her to go with me to Summer Crest. Now we can see if they truly have the bond or not.” I hoped to change the subject to and ease the tension that was building.

“Yes. And I hope you can see that I was right.”
I had a few things I could say here. I could take the easy way out or just push Crimson’s button further. “I’m sure I will.” Don’t snap back. I had not had my breakfast yet and I don’t know how much yelling I can take on an empty stomach without snapping.
“Good.” Crimson said.
I sighed underneath my breath. Thank you Tiamat. Tiamat is a dragon deity in the Hells. Pure evil and a wonderful lady if you ever got the chance to meet her. Which I did, once.
“Now all I got to do is utilize my magic to push her to her limits.”
“And not screw it up.” Crimson reminded me. She finally relaxed herself enough to lay down on the bed beside me, “You know when this is over, I can not wait to return back to Hell. I miss the constant fights over our land.”
“I know my darling.” I said as I brushed her vibrant red hair to the side and kissed her cheek softly.
“You are a pain in the ass, you know?” She grinned at me.
“I know, but you're not the greatest company in the world either.” I told her as I elbowed her lightly in the side.
Some may question our companionship and honestly I question it too. A fiery beast like her and I, a devil high lord bound to butt heads. Both of us are evil in our own nature and both have our own personal goals.
“Please, I am the best company a devil could ask for.” Her grin grew wider. She may be an evil dragon, but she was still female. Temperamental as hell, but still female.
I thought about it for a brief moment, I knew she was right. We may be too chaotic for our own goods. We may fight each other on a daily basis. Somehow, we still manage to make this relationship or partnership work. We somehow keep each other grounded despite being pure evil.
“You got that right Crimson, my dear.” I kissed her cheek softly one more time before getting up. “I have to slip on a change of pants and get ready for my date with Maria.”
Her mood shifted quickly, “Don’t worry about attire. I have the outfits laid out already. You just need to worry about learning that dance.”
I glanced at her, “You were serious about the dance?”
“I was. It’s a perfect opportunity to test your abilities. Not to mention, Maria enjoys a good dance.”
“I suppose if I must. Will you teach me Crimson?” I held out my hand to her in hopes she would take it. However, all I got was a glare.
“You will learn it from her. I am not a dancing person.” She proclaimed. “I have to finalize a few things but I will meet you there.”
Crimson was quick to vanish from my room leaving me alone in my darkened chambers.
