~ 5 years later ~

I smiled warmly as I was texting my boyfriend. Finally, I'm at a happy place in my life. No more Valak or Damian, just my lovely children and my boo. My cheeks flushed from the dirty text I had received. Nyx, who was sitting next to me, glanced at my phone and grimaced. "That's fucking nasty. Why do guys always send nudes?" "N-Nyx! Don't look at my phone," I rotated my body away from her as she laughed. "Mom, chilllll. It's not like I haven't seen a dick before. If you ask me, his seems kinda smal-" "NYX! SHUT YOUR DIRTY ASS MOUTH! NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THAT" yelled Lilith from the other room. Nyx replied with laughter, making Lucy pop into the room. "Hey! What's going on?" "It's nothing, Lucy. Don't worry about it," I awkwardly smiled. "Oh... well alright! I'm going to start making dinner now since I finished all my homework," Lucy smiled and entered the kitchen.

My children had all sprouted into wonderful, 19 year old adults. I have never been so proud in my life. Lucy is in her third semester of college and she is majoring in culinary. Lilith decided to become a professional taekwondo and karate trainer since she had mastered both. Varius chose to study veterinary practices at college and scored a job as a veterinary assistant. Nyx, who was interested in her demonic powers, decided to pursue more information about it while working at a doctor's office. Zurk took a different path of life compared to his siblings. He got a job working as a bartender at a club. Due to his charming looks, he often gets hefty tips from women or gay men.

The door slammed open and Zurk stumbled in with a curvaceous, light skin woman. They reeked of alcohol and marijuana. Lilith came into the room and furrowed her brows at the sight. Zurk and the girl stumbled onto the ground while laughing hysterically. I peered over the couch and sighed. "Zurk, you're home! Where were you last night?" Zurk looked up at Lucy, replying, "I had some... business to attend to." "Oh! Is this Jade? Nice to meet you! Zurk talks so much about you! Congratulations on your new job at Costco," Lucy exclaimed while shaking the girl's hand. The girl looked at Lucy with a confused expression before saying, "My name is Kelly and I don't work at Costco. I'm a stripper at Zurk's club." Nyx hollered with laughter and Lilith rolled her eyes while walking upstairs. Lucy, who laughed awkwardly and sweat dropped, said, "O-Oh! I'm so sorry. I must've got you confused with my other brother's girlfriend." Kelly glared daggers at Zurk and said, "Oh no, don't worry about it Lucy. I understand." Zurk stumbled up the stairs, making his hair fall out of his man bun, with Kelly and into his room. 'God knows what they're going to be doing up there.'

Varius strolled in with his girlfriend, Heather. She grinned and gave me a giant hug. "Long time, no see! I missed you," she said. "Same here. How has New York been?" "Oh, it was wonderful! Varius and I went to so many shops and places. I can't wait to go there for college next month!" "That's good. Lucy is in the kitchen if you want to talk to her," I said and she immediately bolted in the kitchen. I felt a little bad for Heather. She is majoring in paranormal studies, just like I did. 'I wonder how she would react... if she found out that my children are demons.' I sighed to myself.

Lucy had set the table and prepared a delicious meal. The sweet, succulent aromas filled the air. I seen that she had prepared chicken fettuccine with grilled, garlic bread. I sat at the table, along with my children, Heather, Kelly, and my boyfriend. I smiled as my boyfriend whispered sweet nothings into my ear. Everybody helped them self to a plate and conversated amongst each other, filling the room with laughter and joy. A sudden, uneasy feeling washed over me as I seen Nyx's expression. She was looking in the mirror and seemed terrified. 'Is she alright?' I got up from my seat and walked to her side. I gently placed my arm around her shoulder and leaned close to her ear. "Hey... Are you fine?" Nyx, not even giving me a glance, slightly raised her hand and pointed to the mirror. Lilith, noticing the problem, cocked her head towards the mirror. Her expression changed within a second; from content to downright infuriated. Before I could get a peek at the mirror, Lilith smashed it to pieces. The loud noise caused everyone to stare at her in confusion and shock. "There was a big ass spider so I had to kill it," she said nonchalantly and sat back down

I glanced at Nyx and she still seemed paralyzed. I excused myself and pulled her into the laundry room. "Ok, I need to know what's going on now." "M-Mom... it's him," her eyes widened in horror. "Who?" "D-Damian... and he's not alone. I could sense his power. It's insane. He's coming. We need to get Heather and the others out of here," she said while rushing out the room. I followed after her, but it was too late. A muscular, tall man standing in the archway with a sinister smile plastered on his face. His long, raven hair flowed menacingly from the breeze coming through the window and his yellow orbs bore into my own.

My jaw dropped as I stood there, motionless. 'Is that... Damian? He looks so... different.' He approached my figure and tugged on a couple of chains. I glanced over and seen a couple demonic women crawling on the floor. Their eyes were filled with lust as they alluringly whispered my son's name. 'Those must be succubuses.' Lilith stared at Damian and his succubuses with complete disgust and anger. His boots violently slammed on the ground and echoed throughout the room. Nyx and Lucy were staring in absolute shock while Zurk and Varius wore the same expression that Lilith had. Lilith, clenching her fists, said, "So the trash from the garbage can returns?" "Hmph. You haven't changed a bit, have you Lilith? Same shitty attitude, same anger issues, and same weakness," Damian chuckled. Lucy popped out of her seat and tried to take the humans to safety, but her body was thrown into the wall in the other room with an immense force. "L-Lucy!" "You really care about that weakling, Nyx? The weakest aspect of you is that you fail to realize the amount of power you wield. By father's orders, I've come to take you to Hell to finally learn your true potential," he said in a rather peculiar tone. "You're not gonna take my big sister away from me, you molded, discolored piece of shit!" "You're weaker than ever, Zurk. You couldn't even get close enough to hurt me, rat inutilia." (useless rat in Latin) "Just because our dad said that you're the strongest doesn't mean that you're the shit. Don't let Valak hype your head up because I will beat yo ass on sight." "Really now? Let me see you try," Damian psychotically grinned.

Before any more words can be spoken, Zurk charged at Damian in a pure rage with his fist ready. Damian merely mocked Zurk before throwing him into the wall with the flick of his finger. "Really? Is that all? What a shame," Damian scoffed and unchained the succubuses from their leashes. One shot towards Zurk and tried to topple him while the other sprinted towards me with her claws out. I braced myself for impact as I closed my eyes, but I felt nothing. I opened my eyes and seen Lilith grab the demon's fist and snap her arm into a pretzel. She screamed in terror as Lilith grabbed her neck and slowly bent it to the right, snapping it in two. The demon fell to the floor lifeless and Lilith slammed her foot down into her head. Brains spilled out all over the ground as blood flowed openly on the wooden floor. I almost threw up at the wretched sight and backed away into the other room. "Oh? You've become strong, Lilith. However, your strength cannot surpass mine," Damian grinned as he flinged Lilith into the window. Lilith, tired of Damian's presence, stood up like nothing happened and charged at him as her demonic features manifested. "I have no time to fuck around Damian. It's either kill or be killed," she set the floor beneath him on fire, which made him immediately teleport to the other side of the room. I heard a loud explosion on the other side of the house and went to investigate. Zurk's eyes glowed yellow as his demonic features manifested. He stood over the dead succubus panting heavily. His hands and mouth were stained with crimson blood. "Z-Zurk..." "M-Mom.. I killed her," he spoke in shock. Varius returned from taking the guests to a safe place and comforted Zurk. "She was a demon, more specifically, Damian's henchman. Don't feel bad at all," Varius said while tending to Zurk's and Lucy's wounds. Zurk nodded mindlessly, still shocked that he killed a person.

Lilith was thrown into the room I was in, blood covering her body. She groaned in pain as she held her right hip. "He's... tooo..... fucking strong," she huffed as she struggled to stand up. Lucy rushed to her side and tried her best to heal her. Varius and Zurk stood up and went to the other room to face Damian. "Well well now, if it isn't the failures. How is Earth holding up?" "I think you are mistaken, Damian. You are the real failure for abandoning your family," I heard Varius say. "Abandonment? I just came here to visit you guys. Is my visit not welcome?" "You lying ass motherfucker! You said you only came for Nyx earlier," Zurk sweared. "Ahhh, the stupid one is correct. I'm only here for Nyx. She is extremely powerful and I need to convert her into a true demon; an unstoppable force that manifests in chaos," Damian laughed maniacally. "YOU WON'T TAKE NYX AWAY FROM US, DEADBEAT DICKWEED," Zurk screamed and was flung into the gas stove. "You only want to use her for destruction? What a brother you are," Varius said in a voice laced with disgust and anger. "Did I forget to mention the other reason why I need to take her to Hell?" "What else would a monster want other than the world to burn?" Silence filled the room as I crawled near the door, peeking into the room that Damian and Varius were in. Damian wore a psychotic smirk as his eyes flickered a sinister yellow. His demonic features manifested; large horns protruded from his head, black wings stretched across his back, a tail emerged from his tailbone, and his nails grew sharp as claws. Long, raven hair covered the ground as his leather pants shined in the light. He walked towards Varius as a menacing, crimson aura formed behind him. His hand lunged out and grabbed Varius' neck, squeezing it tightly. Varius struggled to breathe as he held Damian's hand, trying to get him to stop. "To answer your question: I want to take Nyx to Hell so I can take her hand in marriage and rule over Hell with her."

A sinister silence filled the room as everybody looked appalled. ".. Yo, thats gross man. Fucking nasty. What the fuck wrong with you? DISGUSTING," Zurk grimaced. "You're a vile, disgusting being," Lilith spat out and Lucy nodded at her comment. "Damian... what has gotten into you?" His neck rotated in my direction and his smug grin faded. "I realized my real potential. A potential that you could never teach me. You're a useless waste of human life. I would never return to see you. I only appreciate the fact that you have made a woman that matches my power level and is to my liking." His words shot through me like a bullet as tears welled in my eyes. Nyx stood motionless and shocked beside Lilith, flushing with embarrassment. "...You're revolting. What makes you think that I would even agree to that? YOU'RE SUCH A SICK PRICK," Nyx yelled. Damian approached Nyx and kneeled down to her level. Lilith and Lucy passed out as soon as Damian's aura reached them. 'What the hell?' Nyx scowled as Damian got in close proximity to her. "Get the hell away from me," she whispered. He stood up and contemplated his next words before saying, "It would be wise to tell you the benefits, yes?" "I don't want to hear your bullsh-" Damian's hand covered her mouth as she furrowed her brows. "Listen closely, Nyx. If you accept my hand in marriage, I will teach you about your demonic powers. You've been very interested in them I see. Also, you will have a place on the throne in my sector of Hell. You will have everything you want. However, if you deny my offer, I will slaughter everybody in this room excluding you and a person of your choosing." He removed his hand off of her mouth as she glared daggers at him. "What kind of monster would choose between family?" "That monster would be you if you deny this offer," he snickered evilly. Nyx took in a deep breath and looked at all of us with a remorseful expression. "Please... Don't go with him Nyx," Zurk pleaded as he laid on the floor, too weak to move. "Don't risk anything, Nyx. Go with him. As disgusting as it sounds, I don't want you to kill us," Varius said. Nyx looked at me, awaiting an answer. "...Do what your heart says is right Nyx," I whispered in a fearful tone. Nyx stood up and stared at Damian with an emotionless expression.

"What will it be, dear sister?"
