"Fire does not live forever, unless it's Hellfire"
The fire spread from their feet to their head and soon the two brothers that have threatened the Queen are burning alive. They might not die but the fire will hurt in the most agonizing way possible. Hellfire shows no mercy to anyone. Her anger rises with each second that passes and she gives them a wicked smile as she watches the scream in agony as the fire burns their flesh. The two brothers might be immoral, but they're not immune to pain. The raging Hellfire obeys its Queen and it will burn them until she has decided that they've had enough and she has a plan.
Suddenly the fire goes out and they look terrified at her. Who knew that one fifteen years old girl would be able to bring two Kings terror and fright. Both of them bow down before her on their knees and look at the ground. "Now, shall we try this again?" She asks though she was not looking for an answer to her question. "You shall leave my kingdom and you shall never return to take Luna away. She will stay here with me and if she wishes, she can roam the world as free as she wants!" She says, the fire in her eyes staring at the two bowing men.
"And if anything happens to her if she's out in the world, it will reflect on you and you know what I shall do then. Do I make myself clear?!" She asks them with her voice filled with venom, and to those who've known her to be kind and merciful, she's not the person she used to be. Her own two brothers look at her with horror, seeing the dark side of her is terrifying for them and they fear that she has become someone they don't even recognize. Seeing her like that is even hard to do for them and they almost turn their back but they don't.
Grayson looks at her and is desperate for his plan to work but at the moment, it seems that it isn't but he isn't giving up hope. He isn't giving up on her. He looks at the two men bowing on the floor and see them nods their head. "Yes, my Queen, you make yourself perfectly clear" One of them speaks. Jaxon can't help but be proud of his sister. He might not know what is happening at the moment, but from the words that she had spoken, he had figured out that she's protecting someone, someone she cares for.
That is the girl that he remembers her to be. "Good. Then leave" She speaks to them and back to her throne and sits on it. Seeing her on that throne is something that neither of them had expected, but they see how powerful she has become and somehow they are proud of her. She's not hurt. "Could she always do that?" Jaxon asks his older brother, referring to the fact that she burned those men but neither of them really got burned, only the two brother have no idea why they didn't because they don't know who those two men are.
"I warned you. She is not the girl she used to be. She is a Queen and like the Queen that she is, she had to take action is protecting her kingdom and her people" Lucifer says as the three of them watch his brothers walk in shame out of the throne room. While Arabella's head is high. Then before any of them could speak anything else, her head snaps their way.

Her eyes wander to her brothers and as soon as she sees them, she's quick to stand up and run their way, run down the stairs and into the arms of her brothers. Their plan had succeeded, just as they had hoped. Tears form in her eyes as she hugs them tighter than she has ever hugged them before. "H-how are you here?" She asks them as she continues to hug them, afraid of she'd let go they'd disappear and she would never see them again and she's missed them so much. It had not passed a day that she didn't think of them.
"We found a way and we're here now. And look at you, so beautiful and a Queen" Jaxon says, neither of them know what to say to her. The fear of her is still lingering in them and they're ashamed of themselves for even being afraid of their own sister. "I know, it's insane but I must tell you all of the things that have been happening to me. You are never going to believe it" She says and then she looks up from her hug to the man she has fallen in love with.
"Thank you" She mouths to him and he gives her a soft smile. It has been so long that he has seen her smile like that. With everything that has been happening to her, she really needed this and he curses himself that his own plan had failed. He never planned for this, he can't have the three of them together. They will take her away from him and when she's with them she becomes more human and not the Queen that she is supposed to be, the rightful Queen to the throne of the Underworld and the Queen that will stand by his side for all eternity.
However, he can't do anything now, he can't remove them now. He would never admit it but the cruel King of Hell is slightly afraid of the things that Arabella can do and for good reason, the thing that she did with his brothers was only a fraction of what she's truly capable of doing, she doesn't even know just how powerful she truly is herself. "You must tell us everything" Grayson speaks, as he holds her tightly to him, not even believing that she's truly in his arms and with them.
"I promise to tell you everything at dinner. You must be so hungry and I have not eaten a thing for a very long time" She says. Her stomach has been growling at her for some time now and it has been begging her for food. Since coming to the Underworld her body has been getting used to eating food regularly and never starving. In the village sometimes they did not have food for some days and she was used to that, but now when she feels hunger, it hurts her. They break the hug. "Of course we are pretty hungry" Jaxon says.
In reality they have no idea how to act around her now, after they've seen her do something evil and the way that she's dressed, like a true royalty. It had always been their dream that she'd be living a rich life where she would not have to worry about hunger or where to live or how little money she has. "Come on, I also want to introduce you to someone" Arabella says as she practically pulls them out of the throne room, leaving the poor King standing there alone, forgotten by her and perhaps he did deserve that for what he did.

They walked in silence as they went to the dining room, they were waiting until they were eating to begin their tales of the adventure that each went through. "Here it is" She says and the guards open the doors for them and letting them into the dining room and then closing the doors behind them. She doesn't know where he got the guards or how but at this point she's learned not to question him, besides each time she wants to ask him about something like that she freezes because of the anger he leashed on her the first time they met, somehow that fear is still living inside her.
Sure, she can stand up to him but that fear is still there. But she's getting over it as her love for him grow. Jaxon is in awe of how beautiful it looks and how much food is on the table. It's filled with food that neither of the brothers have seen. "What is all this?" He asks as he looks at all the food, going around the large table and seeing food that smells amazing and things that he's never laid eyes upon.
"Most if I don't know, and some... well all of it is food that I don't know what is but I know that it tastes wonderful" Arabella says as she sits in the Queen seat or guests of honor seat which really belongs to her. Her brothers sit on either side of her. "You can get whatever you want" She tells them and smiles, the feeling of happiness never leaving her face. Jaxon doesn't waste any time to get something on his plate and he stuffs it with everything that he can while his older brother only looks at the food with an uninteresting look in his eyes.
She only gets a apple steak like the first time she ate there with Lucifer and Poseidon. The thought of Poseidon makes her remember that she still has to show him that he can't have Luna or take her to that prison. But that will have to wait as she's now enjoying time with her brothers. Still the fire haired girl can sense that they are different. "First I want you to tell us how you can be with him" Grayson says, he might be happy to see her but the tone he used is anything but happy.
She gives him a confused look as she stops eating. Sighing she sets down the fork and looks at the two. "I was so scared when I woke up in this place and I was terrified of him. But I felt this feeling inside me craving him and the more I spent time with him I realized that there was more to him than the evil that people make him to be. And I began falling in love with him" She says with a dreamy voice and a soft smile on her face.
"Now I want you tell me all about how you go here" She says trying to change the subject because talking about Lucifer to her brothers and how her feelings for him are isn't something she wants to talk about and also her brothers wouldn't understand it at all. They don't understand all the things that she's been through and how it all brought her closer to him. "You are never going to believe the things we had to do to get here" Jaxon says, making sure that their older brother doesn't say anything. He can sense that he's angry for some reason.
They finally have their little sister after searching for her for so long but now they are with her and he doesn't want to mess it up. "Please tell me, I have been so worried about you and missed you so much" She speaks as she begins eating again. Her stomach satisfied with her. "We searched everywhere for you, went everywhere but then an old woman told us to find the gate to Hell and we did and that's how we got here" Grayson says but she lifts her eyebrows up at him, not believing that is the only thing to that story.
After everything she's been through she feels like she's disappointed, but not in them, in herself. She failed her brothers, in more ways than one. "I'm sorry" She whispers to them. Grayson stands up. "We're leaving this place and you're coming with us" He tells her but she only gasps. "I can't leave. I am the Queen of this kingdom and they need their Queen" She says. Jaxon looks at his siblings with tears in his eyes. Hearing that little girl speak like that, breaks his heart and seeing how his brother is angry at her for some reason breaks him apart.
"Why aren't you happy for me? I found my happily ever after like in those stories. I can use magic, and things that I don't even understand and know about. I'm happy here and for the first time in my life I find myself fitting in here" Arabella says, the salty tears forming in her eyes as seeing her brothers was supposed to make her happy but she doesn't feel happiness. She loves her brothers, more than anything and she has missed them but it doesn't look like they miss her or love her anymore.
The thought of her two brothers not loving her anymore is shot down in her mind as she does not want to think like that yet the thought did poison her mind and now she has this feeling of doubt. Grayson gives her a look that she has never even seen before and doesn't know what is. "If you're so happy here then you don't mind us leaving" He tells her and stands up from the chair. "Come on, Jaxon" He says harshly, and his tone filled with anger like his eyes. "No, we can't leave" His younger brother speaks.
He and their little sister are confused of what is happening to oldest of the three. He's never acted like this and not once has he talked this rudely to either one of his siblings. It breaks them that he's acting like this and they don't even know what is going on with him but deep down they know what is going just don't want to admit it. "I came here for Arabella and seeing her here is making her happy, I see that. And I love her and I will do anything for her and she needs us" Jaxon says as he takes her hand.
She smiles at him as a tear slips down her cheeks. Holding her brother's hand does help her feel better but her other brother is hurting her in ways that she's never been hurt before. "Yeah, she needs us. I'm sure she's fine here without us. Just look at her. Dressed in clothes that we're not worthy looking at and jewelry that costs more than our lives. We don't belong here" Grayson says and before either of his younger siblings could utter a word he walks out of the dining room, leaving them speechless and shocked.
Arabella's eyes wander to the ground, feeling ashamed of the nice things that she has been offered in this place while her brothers are dressed in the same clothes that they always wear as they only own one set of clothes. "I'm sorry about him, he's just going through a lot. We did terrible things to get here and it takes a lot in us and he's taking it harder than I am" Jaxon speaks, trying to lighten the mood. Seeing his younger sister cry is the last thing he wants. "Yet he is right" She speaks as she too stands up.
Jaxon takes an apple from the table and stands up too and hurries after his sister. "Where are you going?" He asks her and then takes a big bite from the apple. When the bite of apple is in his mouth his eyes widen. "This is the best apple in the world" He says with his mouth full. She only laughs at how ridiculous he is but then again she felt the same when she first tasted the food there and it still surprises her of how good the food actually is, much better than any of the food that she had ever had in the village or that she made herself or either one of her brothers.
"You need a bath and new clothes. Also, I told you that I wanted you to meet someone. Just follow me" She says and winks at him. The point that Grayson had made that she wears clothes that she knows are expensive while they don't makes her feel horrible. "Who?" Jaxon asks her while still eating the apple. They walk the hallways to Luna's bedroom, or where Arabella is now staying as the wife of the man she loves is in the room she used to be in.
"You shall see" She only answers and then doesn't say anything when he asks about it, giving him a mystery. He's also in awe of how the castle is. "You know, I don't even know my way around here or not everywhere. I'm still having problems about it and getting lost" She says trying to say something to stop herself from saying the wrong things. She's been eager to learn of all the things that her brothers went through and how they got here but she's afraid to ask him and doesn't want to blurt out the questions.
"I can understand that, I don't even know where we are" He jokes and she giggles. Hearing her giggle is something that he has missed and it has always been a sound that he loves hearing. The love he feels for his sister is endless and can never be stopped or prevented. He then looks at his sister. "How is it being the Queen?" He asks. He saw how she acts as a Queen but he has to remember that she was kidnapped and taken here by force and she had to do something to survived and becoming the Queen was that survival but what if she never choice it?
"Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming. In the last two days I've di-... bad things have happened to me and the power that I have inside of me is hard to have... but it felt good to be around my subjects and just have their love and support. Being a Queen is hard but I have Lucifer and with him by my side I know that I can do anything" She says, finding it even hard to explain to him her feelings. No one has asked her how she felt about this, then again her brothers has always asked how she felt with things and how she wanted things.
He was about to ask her about the things that she just said to him but doesn't get the chance to as she stops in front of a door. "We're here" She tells him and opens the door and walks inside. Jaxon takes the last bite of the apple and then follows her inside. As soon as he's inside the room, and sees who is also in there his jaw drops open. The apple piece drops out of his mouth. Arabella giggles at her brother and smiles at the girl inside the room.
