Chapter 1
Just a suggestion: When the Devil says, “Let the gain,” see if you can run in the opposite direction If not, put on your big girl panties Soht 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 ill 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’ the Devil to begin with,” Ezekiel h 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 e 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 re in circles even when I passed through walls I couldn’t get out until I focused on them and zapped myself to them
I’ 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 couys as they continue to talk to each other Slipping by people and through people, I make ertips, de 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 ile ounce of fear and dread rolls througha 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 slaainst a wall, dropping to the ground with a heavy clap But when he starts laughing instead of screa in pain, my hand wavers then lowers slowly
A sick feeling slithers up side it Lucifer just dusts hi, 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
Feeling a hollowness at the proof I can’t take the Devil down, I turn and walk swiftly back to the guys, nervous the Devil will beat ives me smirk and an arched eyebrow
“Any particular reason you just threw the Devil across the room in front of everyone? Or are you just suicidal? He’ll know that was you,” he points out
I look back just as Lucifer predictably startshis way over here
“You know that acid power I have that eats people from the inside out?” I ask them
“Yes,” Ezekiel says hesitantly
“I didn’t throw the Devil across the roo with each step he takes “I used the acid power on him”
Jude hin front of me as the Devil nears
“Seems like so,” Lucifer tells them
I thought Lamar was my friend, but apparently his main priority is to the Devil, to hell with everyone else Even though I never thought the Devil would be ender, I’m sure Lamar knew
“She’s saying she will find a way to kill this evil son of a bitch if anything happens to you guys in there,” I bite out, stepping closer to Jude’s back
Kai chokes back some sound, and Jude smirks “She says she’s sorry,” Jude lies “She knows she was terribly out of line, but she has no true gauge of right fro”
I glare at the back of his head
“That’s not at all what I said, and a touchable vagina hts and eina And it’s a good vagina, by the way Not an evil one, despite the house vote”
I ramble when I’m stressed out, it appears
