Make Me
Chapter TWENTY-SIX

"Stop taking pictures"

"I want proof for later"

"I'm kinda into the mortal..."

"Who aren't you into, Blake?"

"Guys, they'll wake up, shut the fuck up already" hushed male voices woke me from my deep slumber. At first, I barely woke up, and just pressed myself closer to Jude, hoping I could fall back asleep, but as I took notice of the fact that we had company, I slowly opened my eyes, not very widely though, and peeked out from the Demon's tight hug.

"Jude... There are strange men in our room" I mumbled sleepily, closing my eyes again since I'm probably dreaming or something. A group of slightly similar-looking men (and a woman) stood around our bed, all of them too tall for me to look up to their faces comfortably, and so I just ignored their presence.

"You really have to stop drinking..." the demon retorted in a raspy, still tired voice, not opening his eyes either. It was obvious neither of us was going to react to the strange occurrence. Jude's arms wrapped around me even tighter, and he pulled me closer to his body, throwing one of his legs over me under the covers, so I had absolutely no chance by now to move, not that I wanted to.

"Wake up before I slip under the covers with you, Jude" a mocking voice came now, a little stronger than before, and my eyes opened immediately, shooting daggers in the direction of the man who spoke.

"Oh, okay, calm down, I ain't trying to get into that great prophecy of yours" the dark brown-haired man raised his hands in defence, though he was still smiling, obviously only pretending to care about my threatening gaze. I was way too sleepy to acknowledge is taunting jokes, but as Jude also realized, that we did have company, he slowly let go of me and sat up, showing me his bare back.

It was the first time I had seen his scars, presumable where his wings used to be and I was tempted to touch them, but I'm pretty sure that would be quite a bad move from my part. I wondered if they ripped it from his back... The scars were too deep for any merciful removal to be suggested, and my heart clenched at the thought of the pain he must've felt. I wasn't Jude's biggest fan, sure, but still, that just seemed cruel.

"You guys really are clingy" Jude spoke up, with a soft, almost playful smile on his lips. From this expression alone, I could tell the six others were probably the sins... one missing apparently, but I soon found Octavius with my gaze too, so I could become certain of who they were.

"After that show, you guys put up last night, we had to come... It's no surprise the kid is going to die young when he is that suicidal" one of them spoke up and chuckled, but the siblings didn't join in, they just gave him a glare, that may have left me even more uneasy than his joke.

"Thank you, Amadeus, that was very considerate of you" the woman spoke, her words tight and sarcastic. She was quite a sight, and nothing like the other female demons I've met so far. She had short, straight and bluish-black hair, fierce cold eyes, and high cheekbones, giving her a cut-throat, but ultimately pleasant appearance. Her face didn't move much as she talked, and her posture was straight and elegant.

I tried to comprehend what Amadeus had just said, and swallowed all my questions, despite feeling like I'm going to choke on the very air I was breathing in. I got out of bed and began searching for some clothes to wear in the magical closet that stood in the very corner. It always had a variation of clothing, all in my size.

"The prophecy isn't true, don't worry about this Seth" Jude spoke up in a reserved, calm manner "But if you keep fucking around with Lucifer, he most likely will kill you sooner or later." he added and I just smiled to myself cynically, before picking a dark green three-piece.

"It's not my fault that no one else has a problem with raping and torturing literal children..."

"They aren't children though" Octavius cut in "In hell, you appear the age that you have committed the sin you were damned here for... These people are most likely adults, but here, they appear younger... Not to mention, this is Hell, Lucifer's job is to torture the sinners for all eternity... Everyone down here, every pet and mortal soul is either a murderer or worse" I felt my muscles tense in annoyance, mainly because he was right... A little bit at least. Now it seemed very dumb that I offered Lucifer to read me, in exchange of saving these people, but I couldn't quite believe, Liza, for example, was a murderer.

"Isn't being gay also a sin?" I retorted, getting my clothes on slowly.

"No, it isn't, only if you are as gay as Judas is, I think that's ought to be a crime" Blake grinned knowingly, but only till a pillow was thrown at his head with high speed.

"So... when was I damned exactly?" I glanced at Jude now, who just finished the other demon off with a deadly pillow. He thought for a second, probably trying to remember which could be my first deadly sin of all.

"When I killed Adam" My jaw dropped from the sudden realization, and the memory of him reaching through Adam's chest without anyone even seeing him.

"Wait... You damned me to hell even before we made a deal?!"

"Not like it mattered, darlin', you and your heterosexuality gave in quite quickly..." he purred offering me a menacing smirk, and I would've probably marched at him with a violent attack if not for the guests. "Dick" I coughed as if I wanted to cover up my insult, and Jude sent me a look that told me this argument wasn't over yet.

"I... I could've made a joke here" Blake announced like a child but didn't actually make a joke so the whole thing just became laughably awkward, as he slowly realized his mistake.

Silence settled in the room, as (non-verbally of course) both I and Jude questioned why the hell were they still here, instead of letting us kill each other in private.

"Anyhow, we, or at least I, was sent to tell you about the birthday's program... Lucifer will organize his usual hunting game in the afternoon, and I thought I'd alert you, Jude, that he had picked Seth as one of the preys" the woman spoke once

more.

"He picked me as what?" I turned to them fully now, trying to read it off Jude's face, what will Lucifer put me through this time.

"We put a few mortals into an arena, and we hunt them down... It usually has some type of fun theme... This year, it'll be a theme park, with spooky clowns and all" a light brunette now cut in with a delighted expression on his face. Well, that sounds fucking awful.

"It's like one of those survival-games" Jude said when he found my terrified gaze "They don't actually kill you or harm you, but Lucifer sets up illusions and magical rooms for the mortals to go through, for his own entertainment, and the demons get to watch, and according to the theme, they try to hunt you down at some point... The goal is that you get through the arena "alive"." as he explained the rules, it still didn't convince me that I want to be a prey in this game, but I have to admit, I was intrigued.

"Yes" Octavius cut in with a wide grin "speaking of the rooms, we'll be the ringmasters in there, each of us will own a level... As for you Jude, you'll be the one hunting down Seth, racing against another hunter. You shall compete for him; each mortal will have 2 hunters. Kind of fun, isn't it?" Octavius was obviously way too hyped about this game, but I didn't say much, and neither did Jude for a while.

"Can I hurt the other hunter?" Jude prompted, keeping his eyes on the sins.

"Yes, but you can't kill him... or use your flames. Would be unfair..."

"And what counts as me 'dying'?" I followed up, hiding my curiosity (or so I thought).

"You'll hide a small object on your body somewhere. If a demon takes it down, you are out of the game... In today's game, it'll be a small crystal, and it'll stick to your skin... I came up with it"

The woman answered me, showing a small, but prideful smile at the end of his speech. She surely wasn't lust... I already figured that was... Blake? Octavius was greed, and if my intuition is correct, the woman was pride. At least, I felt quite a big understanding and respect between us, and she was the only one not belittling me with each word.

I was kind of surprised, this game didn't involve physical harming... But to be fair, most of the people here (other than the gifts) were someone's pet. I bet no master really enjoys seeing their plaything be hurt by someone else, as I noticed this is the rule down here. Still, I really doubt that Jude would take part in such an exercise.

"I'm in" everyone glanced at Jude now, the sins quite surprised to say the least.

"You never accept..." Octavius raised one of his eyebrows suspiciously as if he had thought that maybe Jude was just playing them. My demon flashed an innocent smile, and got out of the bed, looking for a shirt to put on.

"I can't let my match play alone, now, can I?" he purred, boring his eyes into mine, somehow changing the meaning of "playing" entirely just with his tone.

I swallowed a little, studying his beautiful face... anytime he spoke this softly, and cunningly, I knew something horrible was about to happen to me, I could just tell from the well-hidden, yet visible sadism behind his sheepish grin. I tried to ignore the horrifying vibes that I got from looking at him, so I turned my attention to the sins again.

"Are you sure you want to play though? The illusions can be hard to endure, and you seemed unstable to say the least" one of them (a light-brunette, quite sketchy looking boy) spoke up, not having much concern for the weight of his words. "I am, unstable, and I have a demon, so it'd be smart to learn some manners" I shot back without a thought. The man narrowed his ill-intentioned eyes and gave me a condescending smile.

"Just because you have known Jude for a month or so, don't be so over yourself, it's not like he will hurt any of us just because you whine about something" He spat, earning a resentful glare from Blake and Octavius.

"Watch your mouth, Kayn." Jude ordered in a low, overpowering voice, and despite him speaking quietly, all the sins stepped back, as if their father had scolded them.

"But also, Seth, I think you shouldn't refer to me as if I were your dog... You might earn a punishment or two..." he now flashed a wolfish grin in my direction, sending a pleasant shiver down my spine.

"Oh wait... you aren't my dog?" I raised my hand to my chest as if I was genuinely shocked at the news.

And so, the glaring contest began, while silence settled on the room and I and Jude attempted to kill one another with our stares.

After a while, our guests got quite uncomfortable with being ignored by us completely, and so they broke the silence:

"We'll let you two get ready... Breakfast will arrive soon if Mindy won't fuck it up again..." with that the sins bid us farewell, leaving the now slyly smirking demon with me.

"What are you smirking about?" I questioned sternly.

He just smiled under his nose, and after getting his clothes on, he made his way to me, gently taking my tie out of my hands and he began tying it correctly since I didn't manage to do that for long minutes now.

"I'm just thinking of all the ways I'm going to make you regret you called me a dog..." his smirk grew wider as he slowly leaned down so our mouths wouldn't be more than mere inches apart. I swallowed, trying to contain my internal screams while looking in his eyes with the most stubborn expression I could pull off.

"I hope you are as excited about the game as I am... It'll be quite a pleasure to hunt you down..." he purred, flashing one of his predatory smiles at me.

"The only reason I'll play this game is to not cause any more trouble than I already have, so don't get yourself worked up over it" I stumbled over my words, making a fool of myself most likely, but I didn't let my embarrassment show. Well fuck. Why does he have to stare at me like that?

"Yeah, same. I would never enjoy such a thing..." he nodded a few times, trying to maintain a serious face as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer, not breaking our stare-down.

"Good. Then we agree." I mumbled a little disoriented, as his lips found my neck, tracing over his bitemarks with his tongue. Why the hell was he so horny all of a sudden?

"Indeed." he echoed in a sarcastic, yet seductive tone, enjoying as my body had no choice but to react to his.

"Jude... what are you trying to get at?" as my breathing became even more incoherent, I tried to focus on what were we even arguing about just now. I really wished, his smell, his voice and his mere presence wouldn't awaken a desire in me to get under him as soon as possible.

"This game reminded me, that we are in hell... I can do whatever I want with you, and you'll still not get hurt for real... Don't you want to try it? I have a few ideas in mind... That I think you would just love. I can do better than these small little bites..." he coaxed, his voice mere whispers, but the sweetest kind. My mind tried to fight the lustful fog that had entered it, but there was not much to do, as Jude's fingers ran through my chest and his teeth teasing my skin. "We... we had something to do..." I informed him since I faintly remember that the sins said something about getting ready.

"Are you sure?" he slipped his hand into my pants, forcing a quite willing and lustful moan out of me. My hands desperately grasped the back of his suit, as if it was a way to stop him, but most likely just came out as a gesture of encouragement. My face was burning from embarrassment since I used to be able to resist his offers, but ever since we've spent a night, it became much harder. I somehow imagined, once I get what I wished for, it'll be over, but no... The urge just got so much stronger, and it drove me crazy.

"J-Jude" I whined as he pushed me against the wall and continued invading my pants. His fingers were experienced and teasing, just moving enough to make it unbearable.

"Hope I'm not bothering" my eyes shot wide open when I heard Lucifer's sarcastic voice from my side. Jude didn't even bother to take his hands out of my pants, he just let out a displeased growl, and glanced to our right.

I couldn't even speak, I felt too flushed to do so, as my spiteful gaze met Lucifer's knowing grin. Has he heard of knocking for fuck's sake?

Jude slowly pulled away, letting me fix up my attire, as he turned to Lucifer fully, hate and boredom displayed on his sharp features, but gave the dark lord a smile, as he licked his long fingers off.

I wished the floor would've sucked me in, but my prayers were useless.

"What do you want?" Jude asked, as I tried to replace my voice, and get myself together. I don't have to be ashamed; Lucifer doesn't know me... whatever he thought of the situation, it was different. Jude is... Molesting me. Yes. That's the word I was looking for.

"I'm sure you wouldn't be happy to hear what I want right now..." Lucifer gave a small smile, licking his lips, as his eyes suddenly found mine. My jaw clenched at his suggestion, but I didn't end up saying a thing, especially because my hateful gaze said everything that had to be told.

"Is there something you came here for that doesn't involve your dick?" Jude shot back a tad more irritated than he usually is around Lucifer. He stepped ahead, maybe unconsciously shielding me out of the devil's sight, but I still couldn't replace my senses... Lucifer despised me, and even as a gift, all he probably would've done to me is torture me until I lose my mind. He never even... I don't think he ever flirted with me, so most likely he just meant to annoy Jude by this statement. "I need all the preys to gather and learn the rules before the games start. Seth did decide to participate, didn't he?"

I now peeked out from behind my demon, to finally show myself, and nodded. Straightening my back, I glared into Luci's eyes now without a flinch of discomfort.

"I did... Let's get it over with."

With that, I made my way to Lucifer and passed him, opening the door.

"I'll see you in the arena, Jude... Don't be sad if you lose" I glanced back at him above my shoulders, offering a short, but insolent wink with a smirk. His annoyed features softened, and his lips curled up into a challenging smile. "Same goes to you"
