Just a suggestion: When the Devil says, “Let the games
begin,” see if you can run in the opposite direction. If not, put
on your big girl panties. Someone might die.
“First ten across the line will ascend,” Cain, the Devil’s
son, says as he takes over. “Even if everyone else dies, if no
one crosses the finish line, then no one wins.”
“The Devil wants to see what will happen to us if we die,”
Jude growls. “Has to be what’s going on. All that shit about
not knowing our situation was bullshit.”
“I’m not really sure what we were thinking by trusting the
Devil to begin with,” Ezekiel mutters just loud enough for me
to hear it.
I turn again, finding the Devil practically excited as he
grins so broadly and continues to stare at them.
“Even if we manage to survive a land no one outside of
hell’s belly residents or royals have ever survived, we have to
remember Lucifer built this course. It’ll be full of illusions that
could send us in circles. We’ll never get out of here if he
doesn’t want us to,” Gage states quietly.
It reminds me of that palace and how I kept going in circles
even when I passed through walls. I couldn’t get out until I
focused on them and zapped myself to them.
I’m not sure what happens. Between them talking about the
fact they’ll never get out of hell’s belly and the Devil laughing
like he’s enjoying every minute of this, I snap.
A haze comes over me, and I move away from the guys as
they continue to talk to each other. Slipping by people and
through people, I make my way toward Lucifer as the acidic
power burns at my fingertips, demanding to be set free as the
dull echo of my heartbeat pulses in my veins.
Lucifer’s eyes are still gazing toward the left, watching the
guys as they talk about their impending doom. Every single
ounce of fear and dread rolls through me, becoming a force
that has to be released.
My hand flies out without another thought, and Lucifer’s
eyes widen seconds before he’s launched across the room.
He slams through a crowd people before crashing against a
wall, dropping to the ground with a heavy clap. But when he
starts laughing instead of screaming in pain, my hand wavers
then lowers slowly.
A sick feeling slithers up me as a bit of hopelessness joins
alongside it. Lucifer just dusts himself off, still grinning,
completely unaffected.
The rest of the party has gone silent, all eyes on the Devil
as they worry about what happens next.
“Somebody is really not happy about this course,” Lucifer
says loudly, then laughs along with a few other psychopaths.
His eyes narrow even as a smile stays on his lips, and he
looks around like he’s searching for me.
