CH11: The Firm (Abby)
Last Updated:
2021-03-03 07:25:46The receptionist greeted me just as she always had, almost like she didn’t hear about the lawsuit. Her name was Ingrid, and she was a little ditsy.
“Hi, Abby!” She greeted me with her big toothy smile and I smiled back, pleasantly surprised. Ingrid has been the receptionist here for as long as I’ve been coming in to visit my dad, and we had become almost friends. She’s only about thirty years old, newly married, and trying for kids. She always had gorgeous red hair that was naturally curly that I was envious of – I always found my straight blonde hair to be boring.
“Hi, Ingrid,” I said as I walked up to her desk.
She leaned forward to speak to me in a hushed voice, “Sorry to hear about your dad, but” she shrugged her shoulders and frowned, silently saying that he did this to himself, which he did.
“It is what it is,” I said in a

HELLBOUND CH12: The Firm (Damien)
After satisfying my demon and my visit with Uncle Lucifer, where he challenged me to a one-on-one with him to prove that I was not becoming soft or losing my touch as a demon, I was feeling physically exhausted and collapsed on my bed very dramatically before I fell into a deep slumber all night long.Demon’s don’t dream, but if we did, I’m sure I would dream of Abby, with her high blonde ponytail and denim jacket, standing outside of her house looking at me longingly as I walked away slowly. I would probably dream about her running and wrapping herself around me before planting a kiss on me.I opened my eyes and sighed, not-dreaming was one of the downsides of being a demon, I always wondered what it was like to have your own dreams. I could enter others’ dreams and control them, turn them into nightmares when appropriate, but I never got to experience one myself. It sounded nice, having an escape for a little while

There was something about his presence that made me feel safe, and while this was generally a safe area, I just felt more comfortable with him near me. Maybe it was because all of my father’s friends said that he was intimidating, or maybe I just liked looking at him, both are very possible.There were a few feet of grass between the parking lot and the sidewalk that we had to walk through, and the grass was still cold and wet from the rain. The tips of the blades of grass tickled my ankles and I took one big step across the grass to avoid it. I heard Damien chuckle behind me and I looked back at him.“Aren’t you cold?” I asked him as I saw that he still only wore his button-down shirt. The sun may have been out, but it was still chilly, and I put my hands in my jacket pockets.“No, I’m hot-blooded,” he smiled at me and put his hands in his pockets.I nodded

Damien drove me home and I stared at him the entire way there, but he didn’t look at me at all. Usually, he is stealing glances just like I was of him, but now, he was dead focused on the road. Did I say something to upset him?He opened the car door for me and walked me to the front door of the house to see me safely inside before leaving, “Your mom will be home in just a minute, I need to get going before she sees me,” was all he said before he returned to his car and drove off. I watched his car disappear behind the other houses and my mom’s red Subaru appeared not even two seconds later. Did he see mom get in her car after we drove off?Mom parked in the driveway and walked over to me, “What are you doing standing out front, hon?” she asked with a concerned look on her face. Her cheeks were especially rosy from the brisk air and her hair slightly ratty from the wind.“I just

After looking into Abby’s eyes and thinking much about it, I decided anything I showed her she would think a simple magic trick, I had to show her what I had done last night. No stage magician is able to enter one’s dreams and manipulate them, but a demon most certainly can. I would have to manipulate her dreams.I knew she was curious about Bradley, so I gave her the ability to see him but leave as she wished. I was present in the dream as well, acting as the snake that shocked her back awake. I didn’t want her to spend too much time in Hell just yet, even if it were only a projection of it, she would need to get used to the idea before spending lots of time there.I was eager to see how she would react to my methods of torture, and she didn’t disappoint. Of course, she would be shocked by what she saw and take a step back, but she didn’t scream or have any other type of reaction to everything she saw, and it m

I woke up the next morning completely disoriented. What did I just dream? Was that real? No, it wasn’t real, it was a dream, a dream, and nothing more. I sat up on my bed and shook my head back and forth a couple of times before standing up to go to the restroom.I got dressed and brushed my teeth before even having breakfast, which was very much unlike me. I was eager to see when I got outside if I would feel my way to Damien’s house, but if I were going to walk, I needed something to boost my energy, I have no idea how long I’m going to be walking.“Good morning Abby,” my mom greeted me as I entered the kitchen.“Morning, mama,” I greeted back.“Did you sleep well?” She asked.“Yeah, weird dreams, though. Very weird,” I shook my head as I recalled everything, including my dream when I napped. “It’s so

Abby had the best reaction I could have hoped for when she finally accepted the fact that I was a demon and I was proud of her for it. I let her ask questions about being a demon, about the afterlife, and how things all worked up there.“How old are you, really?” She asked with her arms crossed and she dipped her chin at me.“Twenty five,” I responded and she gave me a snarky glare that says she didn’t believe me, the corner of my lips twitched into a smile and I added, “plus two hundred.”Her eyes went wide, “You’re two-hundred and twenty-five years old?!” she leaned forward as she spoke.“Give or take a few years,” I truly had lost count, after a while as a demon, you just stop caring.Abby hummed, “What religion is right? Should I convert?” Her questions became more irrational as time wen

I got away from him as fast as possible. I couldn’t believe someone would actually say that they wanted you to go to Hell and mean it in a romantic fashion!I ran up and into my room to lay down, completely ignoring any chance of running into my mom. I had left for my walk before lunch, and my stomach reminded me that it was past dinnertime when I got home. I took a quick glance out my window and saw Damien just starting to leave, I still couldn’t believe him.Not only was he a demon, but he wanted to take me back to Hell with him and live with him there! I was too caught up with all my thoughts that I hadn’t heard my mom knock on my door, “Abby, hon, you okay?”

Day six came and I woke up early and showered for the first time this whole last week before heading out. It was raining still and my mom let me use the car so that I didn’t have to walk, I told her that I was going to the lake for some air. I still had the instructions to Damien’s house in my head and I reached his house in less than ten minutes, getting lucky with only green lights.I knocked but no one came to the door. His Tesla wasn’t in the driveway, but he had a garage, so I couldn’t be sure if he were home or not. I stood in front of his door continuing to knock obnoxiously and still had no response. He must be at work in court.Okay, I’ll just head to the courthouse and find his chambers there and speak to him that way, that will work. The drive was almost half an hour and I still had no idea what I was going to say when I reached the courthouse.His car was here, and my heart skipp

HELLBOUND CH63: Epilogue (Abby)
My name is Abigail Lynn Hale, I was eighteen when I fell in love with a demon and followed him to the realm of the dead to live happily ever after with him.While there, I met a Goddess who wanted the same thing as myself - equality for all the souls.Together, we devised a plan to destroy the system of Heaven and Hell and create a single realm for every soul to inhabit and receive the afterlife that they deserve based on the seven deadly sins, and with strategy and will, we successfully created this new realm, we named it Mercy.My parents both reside in Mercy now, along with every other soul to exist and die. My parents and I patched up our differences and I forgave them both for their sins.Kora was given a rebirth, and as much as it saddened me to lose a friend, she was finally free from Lucifer’s hold. Whether it was genuine love she felt for him or mind manipulation, she would never have
HELLBOUND CH62: Mercy (Abby)
Brightness. It was all that I saw towards the end.Zeus and Lucifer were about to attack each other for the last time, the final strike, the last clash, the moment that would destroy the portals between Heaven and Hell and leave all the souls in one single realm.The second that they began to move towards each other, I let my consciousness return back to my body and my eyes shot wide open. Brightness. It felt like it lasted forever, but it slowly vanished to reveal a blue sky above, not a single cloud in sight. It was silent now, the war was over.I was laying down, something I don’t remember doing. The last thing I remember was seeing Kora running to me and telling her that it was time.I turned my head to see green grass underneath me. My hair was blonde again, something it hasn’t been for months.Looking further out, I saw that the green grass didn’t last mor
HELLBOUND CH61: Saving Her (Damien)
Abby was somehow inside the consciousnesses of both Zeus and Lucifer, practically fighting herself in a sense, and I was supposed to just stand there and watch?Fighting off people as they came near to protect her, I could do that, but the angels and demons seemed to be equal in number, fighting one-on-one, very few coming towards us as they defeated their opponent.Everyone knew this battle was ultimately Zeus versus Lucifer, so no one dared to approach the area that the brothers were fighting.Kora was focused on Abby, I don’t know if she was giving her the mindreading ability so that Abby could block the next attack between brother accordingly or what, but whatever it was that she was doing, she was helping Abby, so I would protect her too.I questioned Kora for a while in the underworld, knowing that she was there against her will, for the most part. I wondered if she preferred the heavens
HELLBOUND CH60: Zeus (Abby)
Everything happened so quickly; one moment I was standing there with Hermes making casual conversation, the next thing I know, all the souls of Heaven and Hell appear in the Garden and the battle begins. They went from zero to a hundred incredibly fast.Lucifer was right, there was absolutely no warning about this battle about to commence, nothing like the mock battles we had – these souls appeared out of nowhere and they kept coming, leaving nothing but the sight of fighting figures all along the flat plane of the Garden.Hermes disappeared quickly somewhere since he didn’t technically have a side to fight on, he just stayed away from it. I grabbed the bow and arrows from the pile of weapons that Kora and I brought with us as quickly as I could and checked my surroundings to try to find her.Where was she? She was supposed to take the device to Lucifer and have him destroy it then be right back. If the fight
HELLBOUND CH59: The Battle (Damien/Abby)
I was able to get both Kora and me to the Garden because the portal was opened by Hermes, and when we arrived, we saw that the battle had already begun.The weather was as if Abby was feeling every emotion – The clouds were gray and thunderous, a mixture of hail and rain being blown in every direction. It was humid and hot, with bursts of sunlight threatening to poke through the clouds here and there.Hundreds of angels fought hundreds of demons all along the planes of the Garden as far as the eye could see. The demons all brought weapons of their own, as well as the angels, along with each one's natural powers.Fireballs were shot from one side to the other, arrows were flung in all directions, in some places, there was hand-to-hand combat taking place, making it hard to tell which soul was the demon and which was the angel.I saw Hex in his wendigo form, skeletal with patches of fur and the s
HELLBOUND CH58: Plans (Abby/Damien)
When I dreamt, Kora would visit me, and we have been strategizing how to create a new realm and destroy Heaven and Hell altogether. We planned things in my dreams, and when morning came, we tested whatever we came up with, and we had finally gotten to a point where we knew what to do.No one besides Kora had seen what I can do by means of possession. It happened once when we were sparring - I had gotten frustrated with going between my demon form and my angel form, trying to master the quick transitions, and Kora attempted an attack which I blocked by getting into her head.At the same time, my body blocked her attack. It’s when I noticed that my subconscious had divided itself between my own mind and Kora’s, I was controlling both of us.It might be too much to take at any moment, really, which is why we had to save it for this battle. Kora and I agreed to save that ability until the right moment, and we wou
HELLBOUND CH57: Hear Me Out (Damien/Abby)
Authors Note: *This chapter contains some content suggesting suicide and may trigger some readers, discretion is advised*After Abby left to train with Kora, I paid another visit to Luci, who seemed far less than thrilled to see me again. I found him walking the same way as I was in the hallway outside of Kora’s greenroom, he probably just bid her farewell as she left to train Abby some more.He heard my footsteps and turned to me, “If you won’t help me hide her, then at least help me give her more time,” I was begging now and I didn’t even care, I just wanted to save Abby.I was going to ask Lucifer for more mock battles, each time with more and more people. We had no idea just how many souls would be fighting for her on the other side and needed to be prepared for anything. It could be a hundred or it could be a hundred thousand, there are countless souls in the heavens, who knows how many
HELLBOUND CH56: Secrets (Abby)
How much do I tell him? He’s just standing there and staring at me, I can’t stay pacing like this for too long, I need to say something! The weather is changing based on my mood, too, and I don’t want him to see what happens when I get frustrated here. Not yet. ‘Come on, Abby, you can come up with words!’“I was hidden from a lot of things in my life growing up, and now I have a chance to be a part of something huge, and you want to take it from me…” Ouch, that may have been a bit too harsh, I need to come up with something else, “You once said that you would never make me do something that I didn’t want to do… well, I don’t want to hide.”Damien pinched his lips together but when he finally spoke, his words came out softly. “I’m just trying to look out for you.”“Thank you,” I offered in a gentle tone, “bu
