She Belongs To The Devil

She looked at Theodore and smiled, "Theo, you\'re awake? I am about to head to the training ground. Do you want me to lock the door from outside? You can sleep for some more time if you want to."

Theodore sat up on the bed and stretched his arms, letting the blanket slide off from his body and showing off his sculptured upper body.

Adeline couldn\'t help but steal a glance of him and bless her eyes early in the morning.

Theodore smirked as he caught her in the act. He removed the blanket completely and got off the bed. Then he towered over Adeline and leaned closer to her ear. And he teased her in his deep morning voice, "You can look at me freely. You know I am all yours."

Adeline couldn\'t help but blush and smile.

Theodore put his arms around her waist and pulled her close. But he winched and instantly regretted doing that as the metal armors she was wearing stung him as though they were made out of ice.

Adeline chuckled looking at his reaction. She lifted herself on her heels and kissed him to make up for the pain she caused him. The more she kissed him, the more she felt like skipping the practice and getting back on the bed with him. She had to force herself to pull away from the kiss, which she managed to do after a while of convincing herself in her head.

She lovingly caressed his jaw and said with conviction, "Okay, I have to go now. See you later... when you decide to come and visit me."

"Okay," Theodore watched Adeline as she stormed outside while carrying a huge sword.

He would have loved to follow her and see how well she would do in the fights now that her powers were sealed. But he had some obligation of his own. So he quickly dressed himself up and vanished from the room.

Theodore teleported himself in front of a huge mansion that was painted in blood red. The only other color that was used was black, and the way it was painted gave an even more eerie vibe to the atmosphere. The whole surrounding of that mansion looked dull and dark as though no living thing existed there.

Theodore kept on advancing towards the large door of that mansion. Suddenly, he stopped his foot midair because he sensed something coming towards him at a great speed.

He widened his eyes and mumbled, "Oh no! Not again!" He wanted to turn around and run away as far as he could but it was already too late.

The hellhound, Cerberus, was already towering over him. It glared at Theodore with all of its deadly eyes and growled as though it was going to swallow him whole.

And in the next moment, it began to lick Theodore all over his body. Theodore tightly shut his eyes and mouth as the hound licked his whole face with a single swipe of its tongue. Theodore was frozen where he stood.

That was not the worst part, the worst part was that Cerberus had three heads. And it would use all of its head to lick Theodore everywhere.

For someone who hated being touched, this was a whole another level of torture.

Theodore kept on enduring the torture, hoping that Cerberus would go away on his own. But he kept on sniffing Theodore, licking him, and jumping around him happily while wagging his tail. This was what Theodore meant when he said that Cerberus was ferocious. He was so ferocious that he could make Theodore\'s soul leave his body just by licking him.

It had been a few days since Cerberus saw Theodore, so he was a little too excited. And he was not leaving Theodore\'s side, making Theodore sweat.

Finally, Theodore managed to shout out loudly to ask for help from his brother, "Lucifeeeeeeer! How many times do I have to ask you to put your dog on the leash? It\'s going to kill me!"

A loud cackle resounded throughout the mansion and its surrounding. It almost sounded grim and frightening.

The huge doors of the mansion opened and a dark silhouette came into view. Then a deep voice resounded throughout the area, "And how many times do I have to ask you to stop being scared of Cerberus? That is his way of showing his love towards you."

"Nope! This is not love, this is an assault." Theodore shouted back while trying hard to not get licked on the face.

Slowly, that silhouette became clearer and a tall figure walked closer to Theodore. His facial features, as well as body structure, looked similar to Theodore, except for his eyes and his hair. His eyes were as red and as dangerous as the erupting volcano. And he had long silver hair that flowed down to his waist.

He was also a few inches taller than Theodore and also had this immense aura that was exuding out of him. His mere presence was enough to send chills down anyone\'s bones. He was none other than the Devil King himself.

Lucifer clapped his hands and called his familiar, "Cer baby! Come here! Leave that ungrateful Devil alone."

Cerberus instantly wagged his tail and hopped towards his master. He lay on the ground on his back and waited for belly rubs. Lucifer didn\'t even have to lean down to give him belly rubs because Cerberus was way too large.

Theodore was still standing right where he was as though he was a statue. He was feeling itchy everywhere and he wanted to dive into the steaming hot water just to purify himself of that ferocious attack.

Lucifer gave an intent glare to Theodore and almost felt like letting Cerberus lick him again. He enjoyed it when his mighty brother would act so defeated whenever Cerberus would greet him. But he decided against it and sent the Hellhound back to its place.

Cerberus would act as the guard of Hell\'s gate and would protect Hell from unwanted intruders. He was ferocious when it was required though. He could even go toe-to-toe with several demons and even some angels.

Lucifer stood in front of Theodore and snapped his fingers in front of Theodore\'s eyes to bring him out of his daze. And he asked in a very serious tone, "So, did you come here for the usual fight?"

Theodore finally looked into Lucifer\'s deadly eyes and smiled, "Of course. Why else would I be willing to be assaulted by your dog?"

Lucifer rolled his eyes and replied in a defeated tone, "For the umpteenth time! He does that because he is fond of you.. All you need to do is rub his belly and he will behave himself."
