Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 102

102 Chapter 42

Nyx shot her eyes open with a gasp as if someone punched her soul back into her body. Then she took a few deep breaths but there was no air and she found herself trapped in what seemed like a box. It was pitch black, she could see nothing nor could she move or breath.

Panic kicked in when she realized that she was suffocating. She tried to kick and push the walls that surrounded her but to no avail. She was locked inside and soon she was out of breath.

Air. She needed air now! What had happened to her and who had trapped her in this dark place?

Her heart quickened because of the panic and her lungs burned. Her body jerked uncontrollably while every cell in her body screamed for oxygen until her eyes watered and she finally found peace in the darkness.

Then she was awake again, but she was still trapped without oxygen. She panicked again not wanting to go through the same pain. But she did. This time she managed to scream for help but no one came to her rescue and she fell into the darkness again.

The same thing happened a few more times before Nyx could understand that she was in a coffin. Buried, under the ground. And there was no way she could come out. Another thing she realized was that every time she ran out of breath she died, but then she came back alive. How and why she didn't know.

She didn't know how to escape either. The little time she was alive she did everything she could. At first, she tried to open the coffin herself but didn't succeed and it didn't seem like the wisest choice. Even if she opened it the soil would suffocate her before she could crawl out.

So she tried to use her magic but it didn't work. She called her mother and Lucifer but none came to her rescue.

Nyx slowly began to give up hope because there was not much she could do the short amount of time that she was alive without oxygen.

But after a few days of torture, she felt that she heard something or someone.

"Nyx! Nyx!"

It was Lucifer! Nyx's eyes teared up of happiness.

"Lucifer!" She called beating the coffin so that he could hear her. "Lucifer!"

She prayed that he would hear her because she was running out of breath again. Her eyes teared up and her body jerked, her lungs screaming in pain. She was fading away again.

No!

Lucifer!

Did he hear her?

That, she wouldn't know until next time.

The next time she came back to life she couldn't open her eyes at once. It was too bright. She had to peak a few times to adjust her eyes to the brightness before she could open them completely.

Nyx looked around both surprised and relieved that she didn't wake up in that dark coffin. But where was she?

How did she end up here?

Slowly she recalled hearing Lucifer's voice. He must have saved her. Yes, he did. Suddenly she wanted to scream in joy. She didn't have to die anymore. She fell back on the bed, enjoying a simple thing like breathing the air inside the room. How long has it been since she was able to breathe? It felt like she was in that coffin forever.

Abruptly Nyx felt a heavy feeling inside her chest. She began to sweat and it became difficult to breathe.

Her son!

Where was he? What did they do to him?!

She climbed down the bed and rushed toward the door. Just as she opened the door and was about to exit she ran into Lucifer's chest. Stumbling a few steps back she looked up at him.

"Where are you going?" He asked with his usually serious face.

How he could maintain the same expression all the time she wondered.

"Lucifer. My son. Where is my son?"

"Our son is safe."

"I want to see him." She said and tried to get past him but he grabbed her arms.

"You can't."

"He is my son! Why can't I see him?!" She yelled.

"He is my son too!" He yelled back while shaking her slightly as if to wake her up.

Nyx froze in place. He had never raised his voice before, but then she became angry and pushed him away.

"It's all your fault. It's your fault I can't see my son!" She hit his chest but he just stood there and let her take out her anger on him. Once she was done he wrapped his arms around her and let her cry. She cried because she felt helpless.

"What will happen if I meet him?" She asked with red swollen eyes once she calmed down.

"He will die. If you meet him other witches will find him and not only kill him, therefore, your mother made it so that if you met him, he better die without pain."

Nyx could understand her mother's intentions yet she couldn't help but hate her. She knew very well that if witches caught demons they didn't just kill them, they tortured them until they admitted that they were sinful creatures. Then they burned them. Demons cannot die by getting burned therefore they would burn until the witches decided to kill them.

Nyx had several times heard the cries of demons getting burned over and over again and now she felt bad for not ever doing anything about it.

"Can't you meet him then? You are the king of demons. Can't you protect him from them?"

"I probably can but who will protect you?"

"What do you mean?" Nyx asked confused.

"If I meet him you'll die. I just got you back. I can't lose you again." _{freēwebnovel.com}

Nyx pushed him away. "Don't worry about me. I want you to be there for him." She said.

"Didn't you hear me. I said you will die!"

"I don't care!" She yelled. "Please. I want you to raise our son. There is no meaning in living when my son is out there alone." She pleaded.

Lucifer sighed. "I'll think of something. Get some rest first."

He tried to walk her back to the bed but she shoved him away.
