[Heaven and Hell II]
<Hmmm…now where shall I hide? I hid in daddy’s chambers last time; inside the chest with all the really neat torture instruments that I’m not allowed to touch till I’m a big girl. I got in really big trouble for it too. That’s out. I already hid in the mutilation room under all the limbs, so that’s out. I know. I’ll hide under grandpa’s throne. Malicaf will never find me there.>
Jade ran from room to room. In each room there were people or demons being tortured by other demons. Each room was meant for a different form of torture. Usually she would have stopped to observe all that was going on, but she needed to get to her grandfather’s throne before Malicaf finished counting. Finally, she came upon a huge room decorated in blacks and reds. Gargoyles were perched in different areas around what looked like a grand hall. In the middle of the room sat a huge throne. It was made of black marble, but the lining was deep, red velvet that draped down to the floor. Along side the large throne were six smaller thrones that were similar in style and shape, but the linings were of different colors. Her Daddy’s was the dark green throne, but it was too low to ground to fit underneath, so Jade crawled underneath her grandfather’s throne and waited for Malicaf to find her.
Suddenly the great hall erupted in several male voices. Jade tried to keep herself quiet as the men took their seats, but a baby gargoyle had found her hiding stop and began to lick her, causing her to giggle. “Now who could that be giggling under my seat,” a deep voice declared. “Could it be Alexandros, my pet wolverine?” “No,” Jade giggled. “How about Kalypso?” * giggle * “No, then how about, Laios?” Jade crawled out from out of the throne giggling, “No Grandpa, it’s me.” A very handsome man who had the appearance of being in his thirties, muscular build, tall, with black hair and red eyes picked her up and sat her down on his lap. However those weren’t most distinguishing features about this man. The most distinguished features were the two red horns that protruded from atop head and the wicked grin that adorned his face whenever she was around. “No what is my little munchkin up to,” the man asked. “Me and Malicaf were playing hide and seek, and I needed a good spot to hide,” Jade stated. The man tapped Jade on the nose and said to her, “Well munchkin, you better go find another spot. I have important things to discuss with your Daddy and your uncles.” “Ok, Grandpa.” Jade jumped off the man’s lap and ran up to kiss another young looking man with similar features only with green eyes. He too had two red horns that came out from on top of his head. “Bye Daddy,” Jade said. “Bye princess. Have fun. Try not to get into too much trouble. Last time I caught you throwing salt on a chaos demon in order to see if it would have the same thing affect as it does to a slug. It took Taklar 28 days to get the chaos demon back to work in the coal mines.” “But Daddy it was fun. He made all these weird noises, and then started screaming. Taklar said he was very bad while he was alive, so I decided to punish him.” From this statement Jade got a look that said I know it was fun, but your mother would kill me if she found out so don’t do it again. “Fine,” and with that Jade left the great hall.
Jade was walking down a long hallway, when she bumped into a big black leg. She looked up and began to tremble. “Hello Macero,” she said fearfully to the huge demon. His torso was bigger than most demons, as were his arms and legs. He wore black pants and no shirt. His body was dark red and he had the face of a bull. Of all the demons she had ever encountered, none had ever frightened Jade. None, except for Macero. There was something about him that that sent chills of terror down her spine. “Someday, little one. Someday” he said while caressing her cheek with a touch that made Jade’s blood run cold.~

Jade awoke with a start. She looked around in a panic. Her panic eased slightly as she realized that she was in her dorm room. “Are you ok, Jade,” her roommate and friend Violet asked. The sight of her friend gave Jade more comfort, but something about the dream still bothered her. “Yeah, I’m fine. It was just a bad dream. I should get ready to go to class,” she said with a fake smile. With that, Jade grabbed her shower gear and headed to the
showers.
While in the shower Jade pondered over the last couple of weeks. Every night she had been having strange dreams. Some of them took place where last night’s dream had. Others took place in a very heavenly-like place. There were angels and fields filled with flowers where she would run through and laugh. Her favorite field was the one filled with sunflowers that were taller than her. In all the dreams, she was a very young child of no more than 4 or 5 in mind, but Jade knew that she was much older in years. When the dreams took place in Heaven, for lake of a better word, Jade would play with a very young Violet, but her appearance was changed slightly. In the dreams, Violet was not human, but an Angel with white wings that had a lavender tint to them. However, when the dreams took place in Hell she would play with a small blue demon named Malicaf.
Jade and Violet had been friends since they were in elementary school. They both thought it was really cool that they were named after the color of their eyes. Violet had dark, golden blond hair, a rosy complexion and purple eyes. Jade on the other hand had jet-black hair, pale skin, and deep emerald eyes. They remained friends all throughout high school and when they graduated they decided to leave New York and go to college at UC Sunnydale in California.
Jade felt bad for lying to her best friend about her dreams. There was no way that she could explain them to her. The dreams all seemed so familiar, as if they were real, but that’s impossible. Those types of things don’t exist. Demons, Devils, and Angels are just myths, right? The dreams that had occurred on the previous nights did not affect her as much as last night. The other dreams did not frighten her, but the last dream did. Macero. Just the name gave her a cold chill. <It was just a dream. It’s all over now. Just forget about it. I’m almost 21, it’s ridiculous to be afraid of monsters. They don’t exist. > It was with that last thought that Jade nodded to herself, turned off the shower, and went to get ready for class.
