"Beelzebub. Who else would think of the extraordinary?" She continued writing on her notepad as she answered the phone.
He smiled, "The works of hell barely go to vain. Anyway how many days left?"
"Now she's got six days starting form today. So that's a total of seven." She stated.
"How did he agree to that? I guess she's got some sort of essence in her, something he might make use of later. Speaking of later, I wanted her to see you."
Constance asked, "See me? Did she sound like she wanted to?"
"Come on, don't be like that. She's new here, and we have the power to bend her according to our will and most importantly we can shut the gates from allowing her pass back to earth. So what time would you be available?" He asked.
"Well, when I feel like seeing her proud ass. I don't want to see her, that's it. I'll leave her till the seventh day. She should learn to control her tongue, until then let her run around the hellish circles." She dropped the call on the cold tone.
Ethan knew he needed someone else to do this before the seventh day. He knew this was some sort of trick, he needed Eric.
Ethan dropped the phone, he preferred to sleep nude. He sat on his bed covering his body with the bed duvet. The temperature of the room already went back to normal.
He wanted to sleep again but he remembered the insomnia he struggled with earth. He thought he left it there but it escaped.
His phone screen lit up. Eric sent a message, he preferred to text than call. Ethan replied to his messages calmly until they were done chatting.
It's 4:35am in the morning, Ethan just slept off.
Rune opened her eyes, her vision wasn't clear. She closed them back only to open them again and this time it's 10:46am. Both Ethan and Rune were asleep.
A call woke them up.
Ethan had to appear before the courts of hell because of Rune. The intercessor presented her case to the courts of heaven, he had to answer to that. He walked into the courts by 11:00am.
He noticed Beelzebub pacing around his seat. "Come in Ethan. Where is the girl?"
And yes, he left her there on purpose. "My Lord, I didn't know the girl was needed here. I received a call just for myself."
Beelzebub stopped walking, he said, "Hmm. I see. And her gifts, are they still intact?"
"Yes they are. I noticed she had two days to be extinct from the earth."
"No seven. I need her back, I need her to do a little of my bidding. She's gifted, it can't go to waste."
Ethan asked, "My Lord, if I may. What about her gifts?"
Beelzebub replied, "Leave them to me. I have a task for you, you need to get back to earth and bring me the intercessor on your way back. Is that clear?"
"My Lord, I prefer you send your demons. I believe the chief would be a better master at this game than myself." Ethan said.
"If the chief was better at the quest, I would have sent him. I want you to do the bidding, she's attractive enough for you to sleep with." He demanded.
"My Lord again, I beg to differ." Ethan forgot something, this was hell and it was either you accepted the request given or you suffered massively.
Beelzebub perceived the insult from his words, "Ethan? Are you aware of where you stand? You stand in front of me, Beelzebub, I give a command from the depths of hell and you have no other option than to do it."
Ethan knew he was in trouble. He dared a high prince of hell, he said, "My Lord, if you will equip me to go forth then I will when you are ready."
Beelzebub was silent. He was too quiet, finally he said, "Ethan leave my presence."
Ethan walked out without another word. As he approached the gate, a letter appeared out of thin air. It fell on his out stretched hands.
They were the instructions for the mission. He exhaled and walked out. Ethan entered the room, he noticed she wasn't there anymore.
He suspected Beelzebub but he was wrong. He saw a letter on the bed, he read it aloud, "Eric and I took her for her safety, the demons came in."
He knew it was Constance and Eric. Ethan opened a portal by making a stray couple have sex. He entered the earth through their sexual energy and walked out of the hotel looking for the intercessor.
Earth still looked the same. The same energy, portals and openings, the same desires at the gateways. It always made sense because the ways of man never changed.
He knew finding her would not be easy but he decided to try. He walked back in. He lodged at room 13A. He sat up all day planning his attempts.
A few hours later, he found her through the energy seen in her aura projected from her thoughts. The sexual thoughts she had in her head about a lady she just met.
Ethan approached her, "She's lovely isn't she?" At first she ignored him, then she thought of preaching to him.
He moved closer to her, "Good morning Karen. I'm Ethan."
She replied, "How did you know my name? Are you prophetic?" He stayed silent for a while before answering.
"You could say so. But for real my name is Ethan." She smiled at his sense of humor.
"Ethan, why are you here?" She asked.
He moved closer to her with a glass of wine saying, "Would you believe me if I told you?"
She stared at him for a short while before she replied, "Ethan I feel like you could be a prophet. And I would love to know you more."
It was at this point and moment that he knew that he screwed up.
He smiled again hiding his nervous side. He leaned away from her. Karen wanted to lean deeper but she held her body back observing his body language.
"Uh Karen? I think it's best we just be friends of some sort. Yeah I mean I totally agree with your request."
"I could take you home with me for the night. I'd like us to be together." She said.
