《The Shy Demon(Valak x Reader)》Chapter 6: Family Affairs

~3 Months later~
During these past 3 months, my life has been nothing more than absolute HELL, both mentally and physically. I scan my room to see if there's any sign of my demonic children who were somehow 15 years old after only 3 months. Varius, Zurk, Lucy, Lilith, and Nyx somehow gained my personality and were more easy to reason with. Damian, on the other hand, gained every single evil trait from his father's seed. I slowly slid out of bed and crept down the stairs to be greeted by Varius. He wore a rather peculiar smile while hiding his hands behind his back "Mummy I have a surprise for you," He said. I start to feel slightly uneasy as I glance at him for any sign of trickery. "What is it, sweety," I say trying to sound nonchalant. I watch carefully as he reveals a cute, small black kitten. I accept it with great joy and smile from ear to ear, "Aww thank you Varius, I love it." As I continue to beam with joy over my new kitten , Varius stands proud and gives me a sweet embrace. The moment didn't last long as came and Damian snatched it away from me, "How could you find such interest in a fragile useless thing as this," He said coldly. I trembled slightly at the presence of my eldest son, he was the most ruthless of them all. I could hear a slight crackle of the kitten's neck as Damian squeezed it. The poor kitten mewled with pain and moved around uncomfortably. I could feel the anger seething from Varius' aura as he watched his brother. Without hesitation, Varius slapped Damian clear across the face with force and quickness. I was stunned upon seeing the two boys fighting and a small tear escaped my eye. Damian glared angrily at his brother and spat out, "Father has no need for the weak, Varius." Damian lunged at Varius and nearly pierced his eye with his sharp nails. Varius, who dodged in time to miss it, grabbed Damian's arm and threw him to the ground. "Guys, stop-"
I was cut off by hearing Damian's arm twist behind his back, his bones snapped and cracked. Varius eyes glowered a sinister yellow while grinning, saying "Who is weak now, Damian?" A faint chuckle escaped his brother's lips as a force suddenly tossed Varius into the kitchen wall. The tiles of the wall fell onto Varius' head, making him groan in pain. Damian approached him, anger flaring in his eyes. Damian snapped his arm back into place and cracked his knuckles, smirking at his brother's weak form. He stood in front of Varius, who looked up to him with anger and fear. I heard a sloshing sound as Varius screamed at the top of his lungs. I glanced over and seen Damian holding his brother's left eye. "Next time, I will gouge out your other eye and tear off your right leg to feed to my hellhound," he said while placing the eye into a fermentation jar and handing it to his brother. "Everytime you ever think of touching me again, let this be a FORESIGHT of what would happen," he cackled evilly as he walked away.

I pulled Varius close to my chest and comforted the crying boy. I felt his tears stream onto my shoulder as I rubbed his back. "M-Mummy, why would h-he do that," he asked through sobs. "He's been corrupted from his father, Varius. Please don't become like him." Lilith, Nyx, and Lucy walked into the door and gasped at the sight before them. "V-Varius! Your eye," Lucy screamed as her figure froze in horror. Lilith wore an expression of anger as she asked, "What kind of animal did this to you, Varius?" Nyx furrowed her brows and frowned. "It was probably Damian. He's the one who brought evil into our family." Lilith trailed up the stairs as her wings, horns, and tail popped out. "I'm gonna wreck his shit," she said while stomping. "Lilith, please don't... I don't want you to cause more trouble than there was," you said. She stopped on the top of the stairs and rotated towards me. "Mother.." "Lilith, please. Just come down," I begged. "Yeah! Don't cause more trouble, Lilith," Lucy pleaded along with me. Nyx walked over to Varius and tended to his wounds. Lilith looked down at Lucy and I, her expression changed to a twisted one. "No. I'm going to take care of a problem that should've been fixed a long time ago." She continued to walk up the stairs and Lucy ran to stop her, but was pushed away by a force. "Don't get in my way, Lucy," Lilith glared daggers at her sister, who cowered from her intimidating attitude. Lucy merely nodded and ran to the bathroom to get the medical kit for Nyx so that she could properly tend to Varius' wounds.
I heard a loud clash upstairs and screaming. "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, LILITH?! INTERRUPTING MY SEANCE?!" "Ridding the family of a pest," I heard Lilith say followed by a bellowing laugh. "You? Get rid of ME?! Who do you think you are, Lilith? Father always said that you're the weakest out of all of us. You only portray yourself as a tough person." "I'm more than willing to test that theory on you, Damian." I heard loud crashes as the house shook. I let go of Varius and run upstairs as my heart beated faster from fear and anger. I ran into Damian's doorway to see two, pale hands on each of their heads. Damian had flesh exposed on his neck and chest and his cheekbone was exposed from his skin. His clothes were drenched in crimson liquids. 'She must've hurt him really bad.' I glanced over to Lilith to see her nearly unharmed. At most, her eyebrow was bleeding due the claw-shaped wound. My eyes widened in fear as an all too familiar figure stepped out of the shadows. 'He's.... Back?' A smirk crept onto Damian's face as he seen my horrified expression. The Nun scowled at Lilith, which she responded with a middle finger. "Is that the proper way to greet your father, Lilith?" "She deserves punishment for that," Damian chipped in.

Valak's hand came for Lilith's neck, but she immediately responded by slapping it away with force. I heard the bones in Valak's hand almost crack at the force. He looked down at her with a menacing, sinister expression. A sudden force broke the window and the glass shards flew towards her face. She dodged the majority of the shards but was hit by some. She winced in pain as her lips, cheeks, and nose were cut. Damain's smirk widened at his sister's pain. "And you... why are you here? You only come when called to," The nun's gaze turned towards me. I was pushed out the room by a sudden force, but someone caught me. I look over my shoulder to see my son, Zurk. "Z-Zurk?" "Aye, momma, what's happenin? Who the fuck is that man in that dusty robe?" I stutter a bit before replying, "T-that's your father..." "...Why he ugly?" Valak snapped his neck in my direction and deeply scowled. "So this THING is our daddy? You told me our daddy was a nice-looking guy that was almost like Brad Pitt," Zurk scowled. "So this is Zurk? Hah, he's one of the weakest," The Nun cackled. "Weak? You BARELY come back to see your family just to call me weak?" "You don't even scratch the surface of my thoughts, Zurk. I'm only here for Damian," the demon grinned. Zurk, who looked genuinely hurt, sprung up and swung at Valak, who laughed at his measley attempts. "Is that really the best you can muster up? HOW PATHETIC. You're not my child. You're just a mistake," he scowled as Zurk missed Valak's face. Damian chuckled, grinning while saying, "You're weak. You are all weak. You will all know pain once I ascend back from Hell." Lilith staggered towards Damian and swung at him with the rest of her energy before collapsing. Damian stared at her in disappointment as he calmly dodged her attack. He raised his foot and stepped onto her face, sending the glass shards in her face deeper into her flesh. She screamed, feeling the glass slide deeper.
Valak grabbed Damian's shoulder, which caused his son to look up to him with pride. "You're the only worthy one here. You will return with me to Hell and learn how to handle true power," Damian smiled ear to ear at his father's comment. "I will not disappoint you like the rest of my siblings, father." The Nun smirked at his son's obedience and took him into a shadowy portal in the corner of the room. It vanished when they both entered and everything seemed to quiet down. Lucy, Nyx, and Varius walked up the stairs and comforted my shaken form. "Mommy, what's the matter?" "He took him Lucy... Damian is gone," I whispered. "Good riddance. He was so irritating," Nyx huffed as she finished bandaging Varius' eye. Lucy screeched at seeing Lilith's weak form covered in blood. "L-LILITH!" Zurk stood motionless as tears flowed down his cheeks. "I-I'm a mistake? Momma, am I really a mistake?" I had never seen my son, Zurk, cry. My heart twinged with emotion as I ran and hugged him. "No you're not, Zurk. Don't believe a word that your father says. I love you," I pulled him closer. Smiling, he hugged back and said, "I love you momma. I'm glad that I'm with you and not that ashy monster of a dad." Varius and Lucy joined the hug while Nyx tended to Lilith's wounds. "We love you mom," they said in unison. I smiled as tears pricked my eyes. "I love you all too."
