Hell Bound Chapter 10

 

Feeling his blood and flesh boil from within him as if they had injected him with hellfire, Judas felt an agony like no other. Wailing and screaming out in pain as he felt as though his body was roasting from the inside. He then began to scratch and tear his open his skin in a desperate attempt to be rid of the pain but as blood, infused with the blood rain, made contact with his skin from the wound, the pain only worsened as he felt as though both his flesh and skin was set ablaze.

Lazarus watched as Judas continued wailing in immense pain and agony, unable to understand what was going on. It looked to him that Mr. Lucifer and Judas was busy playing but, looking at Judas’s face and tears begin to form and hearing loud cries and wails instead of seeing him smile and laugh, Lazarus couldn’t help but wonder, what was wrong, wasn’t he having fun with Mr. Lucifer.

 Temptation, watching along with Judas, wished she could conceal Lazarus eyes from the cruel scene but doing so would be pointless as he would still be able to hear Judas’s cries and wails. Temptation could watch alongside Lazarus, helpless to shield and protect from having to witness the true evil of the world he was born in to.

Lucifer, shifting gaze his to Temptation for just a moment, seeing the look of fear and helpless in her eyes as they pleaded and begged him to stop with his cruel games. He then shifted to Lazarus, glancing at his little bastard and seeing the naïve and confused look on his face, it seemed as his naïve mind was slowly begin to understand that something was wrong.

“Lazarus, do you still wish to know pain”, asked Lucifer.

“I…” , Lazarus hesitated for a moment as he spoke, looking at Judas and seeing the agony and pain in his eyes, as the realization slowly began to creep in that whatever Judas was feeling was pleasant or even fun, instead of making him laugh and smile, it made his eyes water and yell out with a voice not fill with joy but something, something he couldn’t understand, something bad… “Pain” Lucifer’s twisted demonic voice echoed in his head.

“Pain”, Lazarus spoke out his heart sinking as he turned to meet Lucifer’s gaze, no longer greeting his gaze with a smile on his face but instead shock and fear.

Lucifer, pleased to see a hint of fear and sensing faint traces of despair beginning to manifest in his heart, smiled with heart filled with happiness and glee while Temptation watched with horror and dread in her eyes as she saw the smile on Lazarus face vanish.

“Yes Lazarus, pain, the one thing separates us creation. It’s all we know, to hurt and be hurt. But sadly this is a concept you’ve failed time and time again to comprehend. You smile, laugh, joke around and play, when you should be wailing, crying, and pleading for death. To live should the greatest curse of all and yet, here you are, living your life with a smile on face”, said Lucifer as he walked up to Lazarus.

He then placed his hand on Lazarus’s chest, feeling his heart beating from with before driving his fist straight in to it and ripping his heart straight out.

Lazarus, looking at Lucifer’s eyes as he ripped his out, saw for the very first time that they were void of love or warmth, only harbored disgust, rage, hatred, and pain.

“No demon deserves this, a heart filled with love and compassion. We are meant to be cold, empty, hollow husks of pain and misery, and yet…” Lucifer then looked at the gapping hole Lazarus chest as it slowly began to close up and heal, with a new heart spawning out to replace the one he ripped out as the hole sealed back up.

“You’re the greatest of all abomination, a demon who knows no pain”, said Lucifer.

Lazarus, upon hearing Lucifer’s felt his newly formed heart sink down in to depth of despair far greater than anything he had ever felt before; he felt his body grow numb and cold, something then left his eyes, a salty liquid his eyes had produced before. It trickled down his eyes through his cheeks before finally reaching the ground below.

Temptation could only clasp her mouth as the very same salty liquid streamed down her face. He had finally done, Temptation thought to herself as she looked at both Lucifer and Lazarus, seeing the triumphant and prideful look in his eyes and the hurt and pained look in Lazarus’s teary eyes. He finally succeeded in doing what he always wanted, breaking her little Lazarus.

Lucifer, upon seeing the first drop of tears escape from Lazarus’s eyes, felt a form of satisfaction he had never felt before, feeling rush overcome his entire body with an overwhelming sense of pleasure washed over him as he watched that single tear drop flow down his cheek and make its way done to the ground. Seeing him in such a state, broken and shattered was truly a delight, a beautiful and elegant scene had been longing for but, *smiles sinisterly* it wasn’t enough, the show wasn’t over. Glancing back to Judas as he continuing riving in pain and agony with his devilish and evil grin still plastered on his.

“Judas”, Judas heard Lucifer calling out to him. Managing to muster the strength to endure pain and raise his head. His eyes swollen blood red and body trembling and shaking, looking at Lucifer with his trembling hands out stretched, he begged, “Please, end my misery”.

Lucifer upon hearing Judas’s words simply smiled and nodded his head before walking up to him.

“Tell you what, not only well I free the pain but as an added bonus I’ll give what you’ve always wanted from the very moment you step in to this place walk out here and return by to beloved mother but in return…”, Lucifer then brought a small bag filled with red dust and then blew in on Judas, using his powers to drive it through Judas’s nostril.

Judas, upon inhaling the red dust, felt something come over him. Feeling the dark and twisted desires that had laid dormant him beginning rise, feeling anger, rage, disgust, jealous, and envy, feeling he had kept deep within the pit of his soul to maintain miniscule shred of purity he had left, wanting nothing more than to hold on to that shred of purity as he knew it was the only way she would keep loving but as an image of smile a smiling face flash in mind, Judas stop himself from yelling out in fury before fully submitting to those feelings.

Lucifer seeing the fury in Judas’s eyes just smile wicked.

“All you have to do show him what real pain feels like” Lucifer’s words echoed in Judas’s mind. He shifted his gaze to Lazarus, seeing him and picturing that accursed smile and carefree look on his face, before launching himself straight for Lazarus and proceeded relentless beating as though he was nothing more than wild amd raging beast.

“Laz...” Temptation wanted rush in to protect Lazarus but stop in her tracks by single glare from Lucifer, reminder of her place as his servant.

Judas continued his relentless onslaught on Lazarus; continuously stuck him down over and over again.

“It’s not fair”, said Judas as he bashed Lazarus ribs with his bare fists.

 “How can you laugh, smile, and be so care free. How can you know happiness in a place this”, Judas ripped out one of arms.

 “What makes you so special and give you the right to live a life free of pain in world like Haidas” slamming his feet on one of Lazarus’s legs and breaking it.

“And why is it only you”, Judas silently spoke as tiredly struck Lazarus’s chest.

“Why couldn’t it be anyone else?” Judas asked with tear streaming down from his eyes before looking down at Lazarus, seeing his tired beaten face as it slowly began to heal.

“Why couldn’t it be me”, Judas asked as he bowed down his with more and more tears streaming down his face.

“It’s not fair” a tiny dim whisper spoke from within the depths of his soul.

“It’s not fair”, it spoke once, this time a tad bit louder.

“It’s Not Fair!!!!!!!!” It yelled out in furious and primal rage, completely consuming Judas in its cry, making him feel nothing but a savage and an overwhelming rage that completely took his senses.

Judas mouth began to well up and fill to the brim with acid, then with his eyes turning red, he proceeded to spew it all on Lazarus’s face, melting it from the flesh right done to the bone leaving only a pool of dissolved acid and flesh where his head was met to be. Judas then looked down at Lazarus and pool of dissolved acid that was once his face, his eyes then widen in shock as the red cleared up in eyes and he realized what he had just done.

“What have done?” Judas questioned him before looking down at hands, stained red with Lazarus.

“What you want to do”, said Lucifer with a twisted smile on his face.

“No…this…I didn’t…you told me…” Judas was cut off mid sentence by Lucifer saying , “Now, now, don’t go giving me all the credit for this incredible feat. I’m not the one that has blood on my hands”.

Judas then looked at his hands once, seeing that they were covered in, before breaking down in tears.

“I couldn’t…I wouldn’t”, Judas kept telling himself, trying his very best to reassure himself however he could that he hadn’t just soiled his hands in blood.

“Our but you and you just did”, said Lucifer as he walked up to Judas and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“This was what you wanted was it, to rip out that accursed smile and make him feel the exact same pain you felt”, said Lucifer.

“No I…”Judas was cut off by Lucifer saying, “Don’t? Sure, you didn’t hate or envy that fact that he could endure so much and still wear smile on his face”.

“Shut up”, said Judas to Lucifer with as tears continued streaming down his eyes but Lucifer continued, saying “You didn’t hate his blissful ignorance”.

“Shut up”, Judas voice deepened with pain and bitterness.

 “And you definitely didn’t hate the fact that he had something neither you nor any other demon born in face of the damned world, happiness” said Lucifer.

“I said SHUT UP!!!!!”, Judas yelled out, his eyes turning blood red once more and his voice morphing and changing in something savage and unholy, with acid gushing out of his mouth as his straight Lucifer.

Lucifer just smiled before snapping his fingers, the acid diverted away from him, hitting the wall on the opposite direction. Lucifer’s eyes then turned blood red, his pitch black wings extending out from his back and the air around grew thick, cold and heavy.

Judas filling the chill in the air around, realized what he just done, breaking the one law that every single demon in all of Haidas obeyed and that was to never cross Supreme Devil. He then looked up at Lucifer, seeing the amused look on his face as he smiled with twisted grin plastered on his face.

Lucifer then rose up an arm. Judas then felt and overwhelming power grab hold of him and lifted him up in mid.

“Look at you, how you still deny what you are even when the truth is laid before, and why? Because you want to cling to the last bit of hope that you could return back home to your mother pure and innocent, and be showered by all her love and affection how cute and delusional”, Lucifer’s words rang in Judas head.

“Shut up”, Judas spoke out, covering ears with his hand in an attempt avoid listening to him.

“Why? I’m only saying the truth, a truth that deep down you know but just don’t want to accept”, Lucifer, with a single flick of his wrist then sent Judas’s flying straight to the wall.

Judas crushed on the wall before collapsing on the ground. He then heard Lucifer’s footsteps making his way towards him.

“Please, stop”, Judas begged with head bowed down and tears streaming down from his eyes.

Lucifer then lifted him up and grabbed him by the neck.

“Your mother doesn’t love you; she just sees you as nothing more than object to flaunt around. What love you may be perceive she has for you is solely because you possessed something rare amongst demons, something all the demons are born with will inevitably lose. Your purity and without that, you’re nothing but an eyesore to her”.

The word stunted and drove a pain far deeper than anything Judas had ever felt, a pain that far exceeded the pain inflected on him upon being injected by the blood rain.

“You’re lying”, said Judas, refusing to deny a single word that escaped his lips.

Lucifer just chuckled before freeing him grasp, causing to fall back down to the ground.

“Lazarus”, he spoke, without even shifting his gaze away Judas, to Lazarus, his face fully healed and restored.

“La-Lazarus, you’re alright”, said Judas shocked and bit relived to see that Lazarus was still alive but there was something wrong. The glint and twinkle in his eyes gone, and his face that once lit with brilliant bright smile had now sunk down into face too broken and shattered to carry a smile.

“Lazarus”, Judas watched as those once naïve little eyes looked at him, with a shutter and shake, as the vale of ignorance fell from them revealing the cold bitter through to Lazarus little innocent mind.

Lazarus then shifted his gaze away from Judas and on to his arms, his side, and the his leg, the places where Judas had attacked him and then lifting his arms up to feel his face. They were all completely healed without a single scar and trace of a wound as though nothing had happened and yet…

Recalling how Judas relentlessly and brutally attacked him, with the sensation impact, each blow, each strike still fresh in his mind, making his body begin to shutter, feeling sensation that was once alien to him flow through him, something he had never felt in his entire life, he for the very first since his birth had finally known… “Pain” Lucifer words echoed in his head as the Supreme Devil looked at the distraught state of his little bastard and smiled with glee.

 “You feel it don’t”, Lucifer began to approach him.

“Oh Lazarus, it was quite unfortunate that you were born with the inability to feel pain and on top of that you were too much of a naïve little fool to realize most simplest of truth”

Tears then began to stream down Lazarus’s face before he bowed down his head his head and spoke with a trembling voice, “Pl-please, take it away”.

Lucifer, finally reaching Lazarus, held him by the chin and raised his head up to meet his scarlet.

“Now why would I do that? What you’re feeling now, that unbearable feeling that makes you want to tear yourself apart just make it stop is your birthright, a reminder of what you are and what you deserve for being an unholy little demon”, Lucifer spoke before grabbing him by the neck and lifting him of the ground, crushing his neck and staring in to his eyes. Seeing that look of warmth and love he once casted his way had now turned in to that of confusion and fear making the wick prince of darkness smile even more before flinging him away back to the ground.

“Play time is over. Temptation”, Lucifer called out his servant who just stood in silent agony watching he broke and completely shattered her little Lazarus.

“Take him back to his room and as you”, Lucifer turned to Judas who looked back at him with a look fear and dread as he wondered just what kind of horrors the Supreme Devil had in store for him.

“You’re free to leave”, said Lucifer.

“What?” said Judas in shock, no expect him to let him go so easily.

Lucifer, seeing the shocked look on his face, just smiled before saying, “I have no for a broken toy like you. Now get out my sight”. Lucifer looked down at his scarlet as though he looking at something fowl and disgusting, making Judas to feel to feel an overwhelming sense of shame as he felt his gaze on him before casting his to Lazarus who just laid on the floor, his eyes still and motionless as though he was dead even he still drew breath, feeling his sink down guilt of upon seeing him before turning away and making his way to door.

Lucifer, with a snap of his fingers, opened the door and allowing him to freely walk out but, a Judas took his first out the door he felt, despite the fact that he was now free to leave that accursed place, as though he had just fallen in to a greater prison, one where he had no hope of ever escaping from.
