CH11: The Firm (Abby)
HELLBOUND/H. WARD
The 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/H. WARD
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

HELLBOUND/H. WARD
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

I tried my hardest not to look at her too much as she sat there nervously in the courtroom, but she was so beautiful that I couldn’t help myself at times. Officer Daniels knocked on my door and told me that there was a young woman here to see me and I knew exactly who he meant, “Let her in,” I told him and he opened the door for her. “Hi,” she greeted shyly as she walked in, her long blonde hair almost looking brown due to it being wet from the rain. “Hi,” I replied as I put my judge’s robe on a hanger to the side of my desk. I saw her fiddle with her fingers as she stood there in front of my desk, “Can I do something for you?” I asked as I sat down at my desk across from her, remembering to tread lightly. She stared at me for a moment before she spoke, “You never appeared in my dreams,” she sounded sad. &ldq
