The Hathaway Sisters

Chapter 21

(NightMares POV)

"Your master has died, yes?" The elder devil, Virus, asks me.  I silently nod my head, as Midnight's death was still an open wound. 

"Therefore I am giving you a new one. Mr.BeastMaker." He says. I lash out, breaking one of my chains on my leg. It redoes itself for the millionth time.  I growl viciously. 

"He killed my master. There is no way in heaven I'm going to serve him for millennia." 

"Be careful, fore I am your only aid. Your a smart girl. You know what happens if you lose me, now don't you?" 

"I don't give a flying fuck if you leave. Everyone important has left me, so why should I care about you?" 

"You need to rise to your potential! Be what you are made to be!"

"And what is that?"

"AN UNSTOPPABLE KILLER! AN ACTUAL NIGHTMARE!" His voiced echoed, shaking the walls in the small office. My mind goes blink for a second. Then everything somewhat clears. I swallow the lump in my throat.

"You think I kill because I want to?" I ask him, staring at the plain concrete floor. 

"Well, yes. Why else would you do it?" He asked, puzzled by my question. I rise off the floor and the chains slide off my body as if they were ice and I was Lava. I stare him right in his ugly eyes. 

"I kill to keep the ones I love safe. I kill to cleanse the world of bad supernaturals, such as yourself. So I suggest you call off your demons, or they won't have an elder anymore." My eyes flicker from half black and white to full black. 

"Impossible! No one has dared to beat me at anything! How are you supposed to?" He says with confidence, but I can hear the slight incline in his voice. And I could smell the scent of fear around him. 

"Do you really wanna test your luck now, old timer?" I ask him, making the chains I was just in climb around his feet like snakes. He shakes his head. 

"No, but before you go Satan-knows-where, can I ask you a question?" He says, covering his fear with curiosity. 

"Fine. But be quick. Some of us have places they need to be." I said, impatient. 

"Why have you and your sisters returned now? We are perfectly fine here in Hell!" He exclaimed. I laugh. 

"Are you really?" I stop laughing and my face turns serious. "You demons have lost your way. Killing for fun, torturing in the old ways. Hell has been without a ruler for centuries. Zeus was a fool to let you be the elder." His eyes widened. 

"There are still Gods?" He asks.

"Nope." I say and walk out of the office. I create a portal entrance and work on a spell that will take me strait to the Hathaway House. 

"WAIT!" Someone screamed in the distance. 

"Get lost. I got places to be." I said and continued chanting the spell. Someone twirled me around and slapped me in the face. 

"Why, you little son of a b-" I stopped short. There before me stood my sister, Black Rose. She embraced me in a bear hug. 

"If you ever tell me to get lost or finish that sentence, I will give you more than a slap across the face." She threatens. 

"Yes ma'am." I laugh. Then stop. "Wheres Midnight?" I asked. Her eyes flashed with an emotion I didn't recognize. 

"Come on. I'll show you."
