Chapter 81: Stonehenge

Rose’s POV

I awoke with a start, breathing heavily. I looked around to find myself in the guest room of Asmodeus’s home. I patted myself down. Did that really happen?

“No, but nice dream, dear.” I heard Asmodeus say right in my ear.

“Son of a bitch, don’t scare me like that!” I cried out.

“We can make that dream a reality, if you like.” He whispered seductively in my ear.

“No, thanks. My guys just barely left. My coochie is off limits to you, sir.” I pushed him and he dramatically fell off the bed.

“Oh you wound me, Rose.” He sighed.

“When did I fall asleep?” I asked.

He laughed, “you fell asleep during your massage. I brought you in here so you could rest. It’s only been a couple hours.”

I sat up from the bed and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.

“You know I can just snap up whatever you want.” He drawled as he followed me.

“Must you follow me everywhere?” I snapped at him, whirling on my feet and poking his chest with my finger.

“I’m bored. Living forever is hard work, you know? All I have to entertain me is endless pussy.” He sighed again.

“I’m sure that’s really tough.” I answered him. He hummed his response.

I dug though the fridge and pulled out some ingredients to make a sandwich. After I made my meal, I put everything away and began to eat.

Finally, Asmodeus walked away, leaving me and my sandwich in peace.

This is going to be rough. Maybe I should’ve listened to Sophie and gone with her instead.

Colten’s POV

Here we are standing in front of the legendary Stonehenge.

“So what do we do now?” Damien asked.

“Well Asmodeus was supposed to snap Patricia with us but she was concerned she’d get stuck here so we are waiting on her flight. For now, I figured we could just look around, like tourists or something.” Brent answered.

We decided to walk around these boring rocks for awhile. I was eager to get started on our mission but I didn’t have much choice in the matter.

After awhile I see Patricia walking up. Finally.

“Hey Patty!” Joel yelled out to her.

“Hey guys, I’m finally here!” She said.

“Thank goodness, I’m tired of staring at these overgrown rocks.” Brent said.

He pulled out the scroll that Lucifer gave him and Patricia looked over it.

“Before we begin I’m going to cast a spell that will make everything look normal to anyone passing by. We don’t need any silly rumors about witches and spells.” She laughed then turned back to read the scroll.

“Tsk.” She said after a minute.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“We need fresh virgin blood. Are any of you a virgin?” She asked.

I laughed, “no way, we’ve all been in Rose’s sweet pussy, well all of us except for Garrett. You’re not a virgin though right?”

He remained suspiciously quiet.

“Right?” Brent reiterated.

“I actually am.” He whispered and I swear he even blushed some.

“Perfect! Then we have all I need. Now make a circle and hold hands. Mr. Virgin, you stand in the middle.” She pointed.

Patricia then started chanting some words before producing a small knife. She took Garrett’s hand and made a slice on his palm, making him hiss. She squeezed his hand and let blood drip all over the grass. After a few seconds the ground started to shake.

“Whoa what’s happening?” Damien said.

Pat ignored him and continued chanting until finally all the shaking stopped. In the center of the rocks was a hole in the ground.

“You go check it out,” Joel nudged Brent. He nodded and walked forward until he reached the hole.

“There’s stairs!” He shouted.

We all walked over and saw stairs leading downward.

“Good thing phones have flashlights,” Joel said.

We all turned on our flashlight feature and walked down the stairs.

“Good luck!” Pat called down to us.

We traveled down the stairs until we reached a vast room that resembled a tomb.

“This isn’t creepy,” I said sarcastically.

“So what do we do now?” Joel asked Brent.

“I’m not sure honestly.” He said.

We walked around until we found a podium like rock with writing engraved on it.

“Areleyna’s scales is what you seek. Produce 3 scales and let dry out in the sun. Mix with virgin blood to create a poultice.”

Ewwww.

“Good thing you’ve never been laid.” Brent punched Garrett’s arm.

Garrett rubbed the spot he punched and said, “fuck off.”

“Does it say anything else?” I asked.

“No but there’s a bowl here, maybe we need to bring it back here? But what the hell do we do after?” Brent said.

“Who knows but let’s get this task done. Now who the fuck is Areleyna?” Damien said.

“I guess we need to find a library. Google doesn’t show shit.” Joel said.

“No, we don’t need to,” Max said. He had been particularly quiet this whole time.

“Do you know where she is?” I asked him.

He nodded, “she lives in Sweden. We kinda fucked once and then I took off right after. She may not be very happy to see me.”

“Damn who didn’t you fuck?” Brent said.

The rest of us besides Max laughed.

We decided to get out of this creepy hole and find a way to Sweden. These trials are going to get expensive if we keep having to buy plane tickets. For once I wished Asmodeus was here to snap us there. I thought about it and decided to give Rose a call but it wouldn’t even ring, it just went to voicemail. I couldn’t reach her through mindlink either. This is going to suck. I miss her badly and now I need blood.

“Does anyone have any blood?” I asked. Everyone except Garrett looked at me like I was nuts.

“I got you bro.” He said. He grabbed his bag and pulled out what looked like a wine bottle. I took a swig. Mmm O-neg.

“Thanks man, I really needed that.” I said.

Joel went on his phone and ordered us plane tickets to Sweden. We exited the hole and found it was already dark outside, who knows how long we were in there for. It only felt like a few minutes but apparently it was a few hours. It felt like time flowed differently.

“What do you think the rest of the trials are?” I asked the guys. I was concerned that we didn’t know what they are ahead of time. What if the stakes are steeper each time? So far it seemed a little too easy. I tried to dismiss those thoughts and to just think of our babies. I missed Jarren and Maddie and I was worried about their health. Time away from their mama can’t be good. Where are they? I was going out of my mind with worry. Then there’s Rose. What is she doing with Asmodeus? I know that they have an electric kind of attraction, after all he’s the prince of lust and wants her to carry his babies.

“Hey, don’t get lost in thought, we have a lot of work to do. After all, what siren will willingly give up their scales?” Damien said.

We trekked our way into town and looked for a hotel to stay in. After finding a few vacancies, we split up in groups of 3 for the rooms.

I was roomed with Max and Garrett while Joel, Damien and Brent shared a room.

I took a hot shower and thought more about Rose and these tasks. What is Rose doing right now? Is she thinking about us? What does Lucifer want with this angel wish. In my opinion, it sounds very risky. If it was easy to obtain wouldn’t he have already gotten it? I have a bad feeling about this whole mission. I feel like we’re going to lose a lot more than we bargained for. I finished up my shower and laid down on the small couch in the room to go to sleep. Tomorrow, we are bound for Sweden.
