“But Dad.” Said Maisy as she stood before an image of her father in the bedroom she shared with her partner of almost five years. The bedroom looked normal for an apartment and was about the size and set up one would expect to see in a young couple fresh out of university.
The women standing there wouldn't have stood out all the much either, she was in her early twenties. Slightly taller then the average women but not by much with a good looking face and body but nothing too out of the ordinary. Her brown hair was tied back in a pony tail and she wore a purple tank top with a pair of yoga pants on. Her yoga mat sat on the bed along with her wallet and water bottle.
“No buts, are you sure about this one. Is this the one you want to spend the rest of time with?” inquired her father in a voice every daughter would recognize coming from a loving parent who had just put down an order they expected to be followed.
You would expect that she would be talking to him on the phone or maybe on a video call. Instead, a flaming portal hovered near the closet. The black, red, blue and purple flames gave off a horrific glow to someone not used to it.
For Maisy it reminded her of home and the image of the man standing on the other side would have sent people running for the hills screaming or falling to their knees praying to God above for protection.
It was the Lord of Hell
Keeper of lost souls doomed for all time
It was the Master of Darkness
It was the Devil Himself
Or as Maisy called him
Dad
Being a daughter of the Devil, himself did have some perks, but she had come to Earth to find love, true love not another son or daughter of a Duke or Lord of Hell wanting to raise their station by marrying the youngest daughter of their king.
Worse she was the 9th daughter of the devil.
9 was a holy or unholy number in the underworld and since she was the 9th daughter her land to rule in the underworld would be in the 9th level. The same level which her father ruled from and ruling over a small amount of land there was worth more than ruling areas the size of nations on the 1st level of hell. That meant more suitors where after her than any of her sisters or brothers.
No, like in that movie the Little Mermaid, she had wanted to find true love and for that she went to Earth to find a mortal who loved her for her, and she found it.
“Maisy are you sure this is the one?” inquired her father
“Yes.” Confirmed Maisy, she knew they were the one, she had never felt like this with anyone else either in hell or on Earth.
“Good, then it is time.” Confirmed her father as the portal closed and Maisy wondered how she was going to spill the news that she had been hiding a key part about herself.
She was a daughter of the Devil; she was a lady of the court of hell and her love would now have two choices. Go to hell, loss their humanity and become her partner in hell or die.
“Fucking Hell.” Cursed Maisy as she prepared herself for what comes next.
Then it was time, as she heard the front door open as her partner walked into the apartment.
