She Belongs To The Devil

When playing with Ramon and Niylah, Ariel got her hands on the brush and ink of the twins which they were using to practice their writing before Ariel came to disturb them.

She grabbed that pillow again and started to doodle on that pillow with great concentration.

Niylah saw Ariel drawing all over that white pillow and immediately grabbed Ariel's hand to stop her from ruining that pillow cover. "Ary, this pillow is not for writing. You need to write in papers."

However, Ariel defended what she was doing. "I am trying to drawing my new friend. He can also play with us after I drawing him."

"Your new friend?" Niylah looked at the pillow again. But all she saw were random lines and circles which didn't resemble anything. So she asked, "Who is your new friend? Are you talking about some bugs that you killed?"

"No!" Ariel let Niylah take the brush and stared at the pillow.

"Do you want to know where I gwent yesterday?" Ariel asked Niylah and Ramon in a boastful voice.

"Where?" Niylah asked with curiosity. She wanted to know if Ariel went to visit someone yesterday and met some new friends there.

And Ramon guessed where Ariel could have gone, "Did you go to the cave again?"

Ariel furrowed her brows and said, "Yes, I also gwent to the cave. But before cave?"

Ramon shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Where did you go?" Join us on m-vl-em,py-r

Ariel excitedly clasped her hands and showed her teeth. And she said in a thrilling whisper, "I gwent to the place where all the demons live. It was hot, and red, and spooky trees, and demons with horns and wings."

"You saw demons with horns and tails?" Ramon asked in a skeptical voice.

Ariel nodded her head and pointed at the pillow. "My new friend also has huge wings. I was crying there." Ariel stood and spread her arms and said, "And he came down like huuuuuu…"

"And then he took me to the place full of demons. Some were tall, some were fat, some were tiny. All of them were scary, except my friend. And his mother."

Ramon glanced at the drawing on the pillow and thought that Ariel was just spinning some fantasy or was telling them about her dream.

Niylah, on the other hand, believed what Ariel had said. And she asked, "Whoa… where did you find such a place? Is it near?"

Ariel had gone there in the blink of an eye. And she had returned the same way. So she thought that Hell was near. She nodded her head and said, "Yes, it is near. But we have to close our eyes and get lost to get there."

"Close our eyes and get lost?" Ramon raised his brows and chuckled. He was now sure that Ariel was talking about her dream. "You were dreaming, Ariel."

However, Ariel insisted that she was not. "I am telling you the truth. You can ask my dada and momma. My dada promised to take me to that place. I can meet my new friend and play with him."

"Tsk!" Ramon focused his attention back on his wolf toy and mumbled, "Uncle Theo probably promised that because you were crying and causing a scene. There are no creatures with horns and wings. I would have believed you if you had said that you met some werewolves."

"No!" Ariel frowned and shouted, "I saw all the demons. I am not lying."

"It's okay, Ary. I believe you," Niylah patted Ariel's head and tried to calm her down so that she would not start kicking Ramon.

However, to Niylah's surprise, Ariel did not fight immediately. She picked up her pillow and hugged it.

And she argued with Ramon again, "Dada will take us there just like how he takes us to the cave. Come, I will ask dada to take us there. You can see for yourself."

Ramon didn't want to believe Ariel. But at the same time, he wanted whatever Ariel was saying to be true. He also wanted to see the demons if they did really exist.

So, he got up and agreed, "Okay. I will believe you if uncle Theo takes us there and shows the Demons."

Ariel nodded and walked ahead. Ramon followed her. And Niylah also ran after the two of them, "Wait! I want to come too."

The three kids walked out of the room. Osanna and another personal maid of the twins followed them.

It was still daytime, meaning Theodore was in the Court, working. So Ariel took her cousins to the court.

All the guards bowed as the tiny ones trotted towards Theodore's workroom. The guards had already grown accustomed to those toddlers coming into the court and creating a scene every once in a while.

"Dada," Ariel knocked on her father's door and waited for the door to unlock on its own.

And when it did, all three of them walked inside.

"Hey, babies." Theodore gave a smile to the children and said playfully, "I didn't know that you three had made an appointment with me. How may I help you?"

Ariel ran towards her father's seat and then looked up and asked him, "Dada, Ramon is not believing that I met the demons. Will you take us there? I want them to meet my new friend and all the demons."

"Oh," Theodore pursed his lips and looked at the twins. And he genuinely replied, "I am sorry, both of you. But I can only take Ariel there. I cannot take the two of you."

Adeline looked at her father with eyes full of tears and asked, "Why can't you take them there? Ramon will think that I am a liar." Ariel then started to cry and asked, "Please take them to meet the demons. I want them to see that demons are real."

Theodore then got an idea. He turned to look at the twins and said, "Okay, you two want to see the demons, right? Then can you first promise me that you two won't get scared of them?"

Niylah and Ramon glanced at each other and then at Theodore. Ramon nodded his head and promised, "We won't get scared."

"Great." Theodore clapped his hands and got up from his seat. He carried Ariel in his arms and wiped her tears. He then asked the twins to come closer to him and said, "I know a lot of demons if that is what you want to see."

Theodore thought of introducing the kids to his followers. He thought of giving a full tour of the cave to the kids. "Let's meet some demons."
