"Lucifer said to bring the girl directly to him, we are delaying. Why Acid?" The girl in grey clothes, her voice sounded like bells Irja realized, though her eyes had closed long ago when they had first gone through the back portal. There was only silence that had really fallen, besides the sounds of flies buzzing around and reforming. Acid, she realized the large creature that was neither man or woman yet both was still holding her, moving her.
"Siren is right Acid! This won't look good in the book of knowledge! We must present her right away! This is our job!" Bugs snapped and reformed, she could heard them close to her eyes, and feel the bugs floating around her body touching her. They danced over her bare skin, and in her sleep Irja realized she was naked. That must be those locusts that were behind the book..I thought they were pink and purple sparks.. Irja thought, but she could not move or speak, and she could not open her eyes to look.
"Shoo shoo Locusts! You'll wake the girl from Siren's spell!" Irja could feel small hands over her body, moving the air back and forth, causing the bugs to scurry and hiss before the creature sighed. She could hear the nervous twitching of it's nose, it's ears flutter over it's heads as she waited motionless. "Acid, is it almost ready?" The rat was talking Irja realized, but she was motionless. "I think she's waking up..Siren, sing?" Irja could move her brows, her lips were twitching. She could hear a large in take of breath with a sigh.
"If I must..." She could hear the soft feet hitting marble, calculated and timed before she felt a body looming over her breathing. It exhaled, though Irja could not really feel any breathing. She vaguely remembered the woman with this voice, her face completely covered with grey cloth so thick no features of her face could be made out. A hand brushed hair out of her face, Irja twitched. She didn't feel well. "Hush child. I'll sing you back to sleep." Irja waited, as if the woman was someone she had known all along. Her voice was too sweet, too perfect to not relax to and Irja listened as she began to sing. No words were formed, just sweet soft sounds that rang in Irja's ears allowing each of her muscles to relax.
"Enough of that now! She can't sleep forever Siren. All of you, out of my way!" The voice shook whatever thing Irja laid on, rattling everything around her as it bellowed. Siren's voice had stopped singing, but Irja's body had relaxed. She could hear the locusts fluttering around, before stilling a few feet away. As well as the tail of Rat dragging behind her as she scampered away.
"I only did what I was asked of." Siren sighed, and Irja felt her hand move away before she too walked slowly away as Acid had spoken, rattling back to their positions. Acid huffed, annoyed as it moved closer to Irja. It laid something down on top of her, smooth and silky, something that felt pleasant.
"Wake up halfbred. You've been cleaned, brushed, bandaged, now wake up and dress. Lucifer doesn't like his new toys to look disgusting." Acid was talking, and it clapped it's hands rattling Irja's eyes to snap open. She sat up quickly, eyes darting around the room. A room? I thought hell was nothing but flames.. The cloth that had been placed over her rolled into her naked lap, but she didn't seem to notice as she took in the place. She was in a large bed, too large for her feet to be anywhere near the bottom, a canopy of blacks, greys, silvers, golds, and reds. The bedding was black, the pillows gold, but the curtains that fell on the ground were greys and reds. In front of her was a wall, a corner where Siren stood, head bent forward, palms of her hands together neatly and not moving, she did not stir. Next to siren was a desk, seeming to have all sorts of different parchments and things any writer would want. Irja looked to her left, stiffening at the sight of Acid taking up her view as it straightened it's back. Acid pulled into a smile, and Irja looked up to follow. She realized the ceiling was at least twenty feet tall, making even Acid look tiny in comparison. "Take a good look around halfbred. Besides seeing Lucifer and whatever he plans for you, this will be all you get to see of hell." Irja gulped as Acid moved away displaying more of the room for her. She wasn't sure if she should take Acid's comments as a threat or as a means of calming instead she looked forward. The flooring was rock, twisting, molten, lava reforming and moving into different pattern shapes of circles and triangle, however the lava seemed to shift from red to other colors, reflecting that of the visible spectrum of color. In front of the bed there was many footing of room, enough for thirty Acid's to stand and dance in freely without bumping into one another. The Locusts fluttered, it's large black book was floating above the ground as it darted above it. The two silver locusts that made up the girl's eyes looked up, looking at Irja before quickly looking down to her book.
"That's your dresser. Anything you need or Lucifer wishes for you to wear is inside; be it dresses or armor, all is at your disposal." The locusts moved as the bugs flutter, making an arm that pointed to a large black menacing made entirely out of molten rock. The handles seemed to turn, from smooth gold handles, to sharp blades at locusts mention of dresses or armor. "Though..I highly doubt he'll let you wear any form of armor. You've yet to display any power." The locusts seemed to sigh, annoyed as her bugs flew back to her entire mass, her eyes refocusing on the book below her as she muttered. Rat moved, hobbling into view of Irja causing her to jump, she winced slightly grabbing her throat, fresh bandages had been placed there and rat pulled her long snout into a smile. Rat's tail pointed in front of a bed where a black portal was, though there was nothing that could be seen through it.
"As you should know I bandaged your wounds, since I am the smallest!" Rat seemed so pleased, her hands fiddling together as she continued to point at the portal that was in the middle of the room near locust to the left. "Through there, if you do so need, is a human bathroom with anything you may need. You will have anything to your heart's desire, as the lord has wished." Rat's tail relaxed as she turned to her side, pointing at the desk Irja had seen before. The desk was large enough that Irja as well as both Vicarious and Warren would have all three sprawled out on it without knocking into one another. "As you may have noticed there is a desk with any sort of parchment you'd like, anything so you may draw or write, as well as paints will appear or any form of canvas you need, as the Lord has provided." Irja looked back at Rat, her brows furrowed in both confusion and fear as rat sighed shaking her head. Rat pointed to a little tiny vanity on the right wall, white and pearls ornamented the frame, as well as pearls made up the handle bars, to the right of it was a long length mirror, eight feet tall, five feet wall that had pearls decorating the frame. "Lord Lucifer has also provided you with a means of human things, makeup, ointments, anything you like will be in those drawers, as well as a mirror so you may admire yourself." Rat's ears twitched atop her head, before she nodded her head. There seemed to be no other doors, or portals that Irja noticed, and the room was lighting itself up. Irja gulped and Rat looked up at her giggling before she shook her head. "You'll be able to speak more clearly now, Acid and I helped fix your vocal chord, though it'll still be painful. So please little halfbred, speak!" The four female demon's had their attention on her, Irja found the clothing pooling in her naked lap. A mixture of yellows and reds, as well as some black. She pulled it up covering her bare chest as she looked at the three of them, so many questions were pouring through her head.
"How..how did you know where I was? Who are you? How has Lucifer known about me all along? What does he want with me?" Irja was spilling the questions out one after another, but she winced in pain from them. Acid bellowed a laugh as Irja looked at the thing she was covering herself, it was a dress made out of pure silk. "Why..are there all these nice things?" Irja gulped, as Acid had laughed, rat clapped her hands together, Siren sighed, and locust ignored the whole event.
"Dress first, we'll answer questions later. There is always time for answers later.." Siren sighed at her own words, bored with the whole mockery. "If you must know why you are here, then you should have asked your father when you first met him. I'm so bored with explaining..hurry up little girl." Siren shook her head at Irja, yawning again. Irja gulped, moving further on the bed as she pulled around the clothing of the dress. Had Vicarious known all along that Lucifer knew about her? That he had wanted her? It didn't make sense, then again none of this made much sense. Still she found her way, pulling the dress on her though jumping as Acid grabbed the cloth and helped pull it down.
"Stand up." Irja gulped, not bothering to fight with Acid as she got to her feet. She allowed the creature to pull the dress all the way down, the fabric pool by her feet on the bed. Her long hair was pulled onto her back gently by Acid as well, and Irja noticed her hair had been brushed, thorns were tangled in her hair, black thorns. Acid moved her large hands, a few fingers trying to pull a belt clasp before she gave up. "Rat! Clip her dress together!" Acid's voice rattled, annoyed.
"Yes, Yes. Allow me dear halfbred." Rat scampered closer to the bed as Acid pulled away. Her little claws dug into the bedding as she used them as a makeshift rope to climb onto the bed. Though by the time she was on the top of the mattress and blanket, she had fallen forward panting for breath. After a few seconds, Rat got back to her feet, patting down the lavender cloth she had on her that barely covered her body. "Now then. Let's see." Rat came closer, tugging on the black parts of the dress Irja wore. She realized, to her own pleasure, that the dress covered her from head to toe, though the fabric was too see through for Irja's taste. Rat pulled a black clasp to Irja's right shoulder blade, snapping it in place on the fabric, before she pulled another one to Irja's left hip snapping that in place. This caused the dress to hug her curves, her breasts, though it hung loosely around her private and ass and Irja twisted in discomfort. She had never worn silk before, and the fabric was soft but the way it was pinned made her uneasy. Rat pulled away clasping her hands together as she sighed. "Perfect. Now then. You wait here little halfbred, when the Lord is ready to see you, he'll send guards. Though, I wish someone could have buzzed that in my ear earlier!" Rat swatted the space near one of her ears, a purple locust left it before darting back to the swarm above the book. "You have a real knack for things Anna!" Rat glared over her shoulder at the swarm of locusts who looked up from the book to stare at them. She closed the large black book, Anna was Locusts real name, before she began to pull the book into the black portal sighing as Siren and Acid began to follow.
"I just got word in the book that Lucifer will send for her when he's ready. We've done our work, let us go take care of other things. I'd like if you didn't say my real name in front of the halfbred." Rat jumped off the bed, watching as Locust disappeared into the black portal, Siren followed quickly after, and then Acid. Rat huffed looking back up at Irja who only stared before she too turned to look at the portal and started to scamper away.
"There is no way in or out for you little halfbred. Only with Lucier's approval is anyone allowed in your room, and you are not allowed out without his. Please remembered this, don't think this portal will lead you out like it will for us.." Rat stopped in front of the portal looking back at the silent Irja. Rat's eyes fell as she sighed, as if she pitied the girl. "You know..many demons will be jealous of you, Lucifer had wanted you since the beginning, not all of us can be happy about such a thing." Rat turned then, and disappeared into the portal leaving Irja alone in the room staring at the sight.
"What the fuck?" Irja's brows furrowed before she fell on her butt on the bed huffing. "Guess I wait.."
