Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2, Layna Snow [the mitten read aloud .TXT] 📗

spoke with reverence, but the Master could see into him.

The man was hungry for chaos and power. He pretended to make alliances with all sides, but he would fail.

Humans were unpredictable and war-hungry. No one could control them. Certainly not a one such as Kellen Tolk. Lucifer understood the ramifications of trying.

The man would break a covenant created thousands of years ago in order to feed his ego.

It would be a good show, certainly. Entertaining. And Lucifer hadn’t been entertained in so long.

“You assssked to sssssee me?” Razion hissed from behind him.

Lucifer turned to look at the High Demon. She was almost lost in the darkness. Her black skin provided camouflage, but the navy stripes showed the Demon’s movements.

She was a faithful servant. She was strong, ruthless and would provide much aide. “Yes. Soon you will be summoned into a body. You will take control, you know what has to be done.”

The Demon smiled and bowed to her Lord. “Assssss you wisssshh.”

Sophie leaned back against Thane, her whole body relaxed as she watched Adrian work.

He sat on the other side of the couch and fiddled with… something electronic. It had been about a week since she made the promise to stay with them, and despite the turbulent first few days, it had been sort of relaxing.

They had gotten into a routine. They slept, with the guys on either side of her, and when they woke up, one of them fed her breakfast. They’d then go train, leaving her here to do what she wanted. They didn’t take her out again, not after that last time.

They also refused to continue her training.

It’s not like you want to work anyways.

No, she’d rather do nothing for a few days. She didn’t get that chance very often. She was always either working at the diner or taking care of her sisters.

Now, all she did was relax, it seemed.

In the evenings she’d lounge on the couch with one of the guys while the other one worked. Thane liked to clean and take care of his weapons while Adrian fixed things. She really didn’t know what he did, but he tried to explain it to her once.

In Hell, nothing electronic worked. The energy and magic was too powerful. But what about the tablet and lights? What about the fridge? Those were the questions that she had asked. And she was met with a really technical answer that she didn’t understand.

What she did understand was that Adrian was basically a genius with technology.

He put in new parts, and changed out systems. He even put in surge protection and electrical conduits to take care of some of the extra electricity in the air. And there were apparently cracks and holes that he fed pipes and wires through that went through weird little Hellgates that he messed with.

Overall, the days went past quickly. They laughed and joked, or Adrian had. The sex was great, and frequent. And she had gotten to know them a little better.

Though, she was still wary. Every once in a while she’d remember why she was there, and what they wanted from her.

She’d feel her heart breaking.

But it was those other times that were dangerous. The times when she forgot and fell more in love with them.

Sophie stretched, feeling the tension in her muscles.

She didn’t want to remember her other life. She didn’t want to think about the future. Not right now.

Maybe not ever.

Thane leaned down and kissed her hair. Even that small action made her heart clench.

Gosh, these men were unbelievable.

Adrian looked up and smiled at her. “So, Phie. Hah, get it?” At his joke, Soph rolled her eyes. He was always saying little things. Things that made her want to hit him, and laugh at the same time. “So, we know you have a twin. Tell us about the rest of your family. Do you have any other hot siblings?”

Hot siblings? Sure. Just the thought of Brooke made her feel like an elephant.

Her older sister was always the most outgoing, the prettiest. She had a lot of friends, and boys were always after her. Soph always paled in comparison. She was always overlooked.

Sophie knew that these guys would love Brooklyn. They’d find her exciting. Hell, they’d probably like her better. Everyone did.

Surely if they’d met back in the real world, they’d have chased Brooke around like puppies and probably forget about Sophie.

“Woah, what’s with the long face, sweet-cheeks? What’s going on in that noggin of yours?” Adrian asked, his head motioning to the tablet that was sitting on the table.

She sighed and picked up the device, opened a document and typed. I have another sister. Brooklyn. You’d like her. She’s older, very different from me. We didn’t spend much time together.

Adrian frowned, putting his work aside. “Don’t all siblings spend time together?” Obviously he hadn’t grown up with any.

In fact, he hadn’t grown up at all, had he? She remembered talking to Melody about being an Angel and hadn’t the Angel told her that they were created as adults?

She was jealous.

It wasn’t that her childhood was bad or anything. And her parents were fine. It was just difficult going from child to teenager to adult. It just sucked.

My parents were really religious, strict. They didn’t allow us to play with kids that they didn’t know. I live in a small town though, so everyone knows everyone. And that had been annoying. You couldn’t do anything without everyone knowing about it. People still talked about that time that she got pantsed in school. My parents worked a lot though, they also volunteered at the church and in the community. I didn’t see them much. My grandma practically raised me and my twin. She moved in after we were born and stayed until she
