Chapter Text
Eight months. For eight months, Mc has loved the demon brothers. The brothers on the other hand…. Well… let’s just say that they didn’t love her the same.
Devildom has seen the chemistry between the human and the brothers, at first they were skeptical about it. I mean... a mortal and a demon? But after a while, they started to get used to it, some of the demons even supported it, trying to figure out which one of the brothers would end up marrying the human. Most of them guessed Lucifer, after all, he was the one around Mc the most. He was also the one that seemed to have the most chemistry with the human. When Mc was around, he was sweet and loving, almost like an angel... except.. he wasn't. Because no matter how sweet they are, no matter how loving they are, no matter how caring they are, demons will always be demons. Always.
You see… The brothers have lost someone. Someone special. Their sister, Lilith. When they lost her, they grieved, especially the oldest brother, Lucifer. Once they laid their eyes on Mc, they could see Lilith in her. Mc reminded them of their sister everyday, even her attitude.
To them, she was the last bit of Lilith they had left. And now.. they would never let go. They had known of her feelings towards them for awhile and decided that she wouldn’t leave if they all dated them. But then, the realization struck of a human’s short life span. They would outlive her and it would be like losing Lilith all over again.
And so, they offered something. Something our Mc couldn’t refuse. The offer of being their wife. Without thinking it through, without thinking about the life she was about to abandon for the sake of her.. “love”, she accepted.
”Lucifer.. are you sure about this..?” Mammon asked his older brother, glancing at the spellbook in his hands. Lucifer glared at his brother, as if offended by his question.
“i’m sorry— do you want to lose her again?”
Mammon remained silent for a few seconds before responding “…no”
Lucifer looked away as Mc entered the room, putting on the most sweet smile he could manage at the moment. After this spell.. Mc would be theirs. After this spell.. maybe.. just maybe.. a piece of Lilith would be with them forever. And he would risk everything for that. "Mc, darling.." He muttered as he softly caressed her hair "You look wonderful.."
Mc blushed as she looked around the room. In her eyes, the brothers' eyes were all filled with love. In her mind, she was wondering... "how am I so lucky..?"
Asmodeus popped up next to her and hugged her arm "Are you ready to spend the rest of our lives together, darling~?" Mc eagerly nodded as she looked at him and all his brothers. They all looked so impatient, Mammon giving the spell book to Satan before kissing Mc's forehead, whispering in her ear: "I can't wait.."
Mc blushes as she starts planning their wedding in her head already, walking to Satan with a smile as he gave her a quill and a dagger. Mc raises her eyebrow "What do I need to do with this..?" She asks, holding up the dagger. Satan clears his throat and looks down at the spell book "..You need to sign with blood.." He said quietly. The realisation sets in her mind, she would have to cut herself, right? Without hesitation, she cuts her finger. After all, what was a small cut compared to an eternal life filled with love with the loves of her life?
She lets a drop of her blood fall on the book and used the blood as ink as she signed it. Lucifer walks up from behind her, putting his gloved hands on her shoulders. "You're doing great darling.." He whispers in her ear "Now, get in the circle."
Mc nodded and stepped into the circle, already deciding which wedding dress she would like to wear on her wedding day. Wondering if she would marry the brothers on different days or all on the same day. She looks around the room, looking at all the affectionate and loving expressions of the brothers as they all look at her and join hands. Mc looks down at the ritual circle she was standing in, surrounded by out candles and the floor was covered in melted wax. Just a few more minutes until the ritual would be done... just a few minutes until it was too late to go back... just a few minutes until she would be a demon.. just a few minutes until her happily ever after.
She closes her eyes shut as she hears the brothers chant the spell. Words that she didn't understand reached her ears, but she knew it was a process. For a few moments, nothing happened. But then.. the louder they chanted, the higher the flames of the candles grew and then a sensation tingles on her body. At first, she thought nothing of it, she just thought that maybe it was because of the heat of the candles, but then the sensation grew... it became painful. It felt like fire was consuming her skin and burning her flesh. She screamed as she hugged her arms, sinking to her knees with a tear falling down her eye.
It felt like her head was about to split in two and that her back was getting demolished with a tractor. Her eyes burned and the more she screamed, the louder they chanted. The flames were almost as tall as the roof and the pain was almost unbearable. Is this... what hellfire felt like?
The tips of her fingers started to feel like they were burning as well, her nails had grown into sharp long ones, almost like claws. Once her back stopped hurting, she felt relieved but not for long. Her chest started burning, her eyes started to swell. The pain was so terrible that she wished that the pain in her back came back. She screamed in pain, tears falling from her eyes. She could swear her hair was also being burned. All she could see from her teary vision were the bright walls of flames that covered her.
Right before she could fall unconscious from the unbearable pain, the flames extinguished. Smoke filled the room, no one being able to see a thing. Mc gasped for air as she was on her knees, hugging herself. A tear fell from her eye but now... now, the pain would be worth it. She was a demon now... She could marry the loves of her life. It was worth it.
Lucifer coughed into his fist as he waved away the smoke as his younger brothers did the same. Once the smoke cleared, his eyes widened in disbelief once they fell on Mc. Mc looked up at him, her tears all dried up.
Her hair was down her shoulders, wet from sweat. Her eyes were a neon version of her original ones, she had sharp and long nails, dark wings, crimson horns a tail. She was a demon. Mc looked into his eyes, sensing disappointment and.. anger..? Wait... why? This is what he wanted right? This is what they wanted, right? She looks around the room and no one was looking at her affectionately anymore. They all shared the same look of contempt. Her heart sank.
"No..no..no..no.." Lucifer said through gritted teeth as he tightened his fists. The longer he looked at Mc, the more he couldn't see Lilith, the more his blood boiled. The last shard of his dear sister.. shattered. "..Lucifer..?" Mc muttered, slowly getting up, afraid about what was about to come. Why did they look like that? She did what they wanted, she agreed to become a demon, to become their wife.
"Get out...' Lucifer said, not even sparing her a glance. Mc's eyes widen in shock. No.. this couldn't be happening.. they promised.. "What? Luci, what do you mean?" She said, stepping out of the circle, stepping on the hot wax but that didn't bother her. "I mean get out." Lucifer said sternly.
Mc's heart sank to her stomach, panic and anger overtaking her heart. "What? Why—" Then.. the realisation struck her like a bullet train. "....you never loved me.." She looked around the room, at all their disgusted faces "None of you ever loved me..." She glared at Lucifer, tears in her eyes. "No... This isn't fair! I gave up everything for you! I sacrificed my life, I sacrificed my death! Even my soul! I sacrificed my soul!" She said, her voice trembling as she tried to grab his hand. Lucifer merely glared back, yanking his hand away. "That's enough, Mc."
"No..! I'm not going! Not until you keep your end of the bargain!"
"I said that's enough!"
He glanced at Belphegor and at Beel, who nodded. Instantly understanding what they were instructed to do with a single glance. They start walking towards Mc
"Guys—? what are you—"
Both of them grab both of her arms.
"Wait! Hey—! Let go!"
Tears stung her eyes as they ignored her protests with a stone face, dragging her outside. Outside the room, outside HOL, outside the gates, outside their lives.
She tries to run back in as tears streamed down her face, but they had already closed and locked the gates, walking away without sparing her another glance. "NO—! This- This isn't fair!" She said, her voice breaking. She sinks to her knees as she sobs to her hearts content. It wasn't fair. They had abandoned her, they had lead her on and now she was stuck in this miserable long life. Trust me when I say she will never, I say never, trust happy endings or the brothers ever again.
