Ember was nearly asleep when azazel walked she of course thought it was her husband and smiled softly with her eyes closed "oh hello dear I thought you were-" she paused when she heard his voice azazel what are you doing is here?! " she said her eyes opened wide as she tried to get away
Azazel shushed Ember quietly. "I'm just checking up on you. I've been chained up for days." He hissed. "And it's all your fault." He smacked her across the face. "Some people just don't deserve happiness." He grabbed her on the arm, digging into her skin violently. Meanwhile, Percy got off his dad's lap and wandered to the door. He opened it slightly, looking back at his papa before slipping out of the room. He heard some noise coming from his mama and papa's room, so went to investigate. However, Nathaniel noticed Percy left the room and followed the little rascal. Percy wandered over to the room, staring into the doorway. He saw quite a sight. "MAMA!?" He hiccoughed in surprise. Azazel turned to look at Percy. He hissed at the child. He placed his hand over Ember's mouth.
Nathaniel followed Percy, his gaze glaring upon Azazel. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" He roared. Azazel froze, teleporting off with Ember. Nathaniel stood in the room, cursing himself. Percy started to cry.
Ember was struck hard enough for her to fall to the ground and once she did she turned to see her little boy in the doorway fear took hold of her body and tears stung her eyes she had started to move to the door what azazel grabbed her and covered her mouth she let out a scream once she saw Nathaniel her body trembling but in an instant they were gone and she could no longer see where she was
Percy sat on the floor, crying over the fact that his mama was gone. Nathaniel was storming around the room, looking for signs of breaking. He went over to the guard posted at the door and yelled at them for being asleep. He slapped them on the wrists and ordered them to search for Ember. Nathaniel scooped Percy up in his arms, gently holding the child in a tight embrace. Percy never saw his papa that mad. It was scary to him. "Shhh." He brushed Percy's hair out of his face. "We'll find mama. I promised." Percy nodded.

Azazel had teleported them to the cells. He dropped her in a stack of hay he requested. His wings were unfurled, nasty scars scorn across them. "Welcome, me dear queen. It'll be a lovely stay." He laughed to himself, kicking Ember in the leg. "Just you and me. We can work out our differences."
Ember fell into the stack of hay looking up at the demon tears running down her face "why are you doing please I never did anything to you, i- azazel… " she cried out when he kicked her and she crawled away as far as possible so she wasn't harmed further.
Percy cried into his papa's shoulder. He couldn't catch his breath. He saw his mama get abducted. Nathaniel sat on the edge of his bed, cradling Percy. "We'll get her back, sweetie, don't cry." He started to cry. "Please don't cry, Percy." He tried to console the small child, but his cries encouraged the small child further.
Azazel sat on his stack of hay. He made it look like a small bed. Chains hung from the wall, but they were broken. Something had broken them and Azazel had gotten out. "Why am I doing this? Please. I told you. You're a lucky girl for marrying the king. You did a lot of things for me. How do you think I got in here." He growled under his breath. "But that's okay, I'll make you mine. It just takes a little rearranging of your mind."
Ember moved away from him as far as possible her breathing heavy what the fuck was going on what was he rambling about what exactly had she done she did nothing he constantly tried to kill her "azazel just let me go.. Please my husband my children I need to be with them I'll make sure you don't get taken just please.. "
Azazel laughed. "Bitches will be bitches. Please, you're worthless. I honestly wouldn't go back to them. He lied to you Ember. He always has." He crept closer to her. "They don't need you. You don't need them." He got close enough for him to place his hands on her head. "I can make the headache go away. You just need to listen to my words." Azazel stared into her eyes. He played, pushed, and screwed up memories. He kissed her on the cheek, moving away from the demonic werewolf.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel stomped around the palace, demanding guards search the entire place and retrieve Ember.
"He isn't lying to me azazel leave me alone don't you dare get any closer or I swear I will kill you, " she snarled at him the way he spoke her her made her heart thump against her chest she whined when she could feel her mind being poked and messed with she gripped her head whining more than she was originally what was happening to her what the fuck was happening to her?!
Azazel filled her head with false memories, jumbling up the ones between her and Nathaniel. He portrayed him as the attacker, the evil one. “Oh yes, he has. He’s lied to you quite a lot, Ember. It’s almost laughable with how much he’s gotten away with.” He smiled, pulling away. “Dear Nathaniel won’t know what coming for him. He’ll be the hurt one for once.” He started to laugh. “Now won’t he.”
Ember couldn't take the pain inside of her head it was to much to bare with screamed at tears ran down her face at the sudden changing memories she felt pain in her head and in her heart as if she was betrayed, and then it went dark
Azazel watched Ember, his hands laying neatly in his lap. He lifted one hand to wipe away the tears from Ember’s face, shushing her as she screamed. “That’s such a terrible sound.” He grumbled. “Are you okay, dear? You seem to be in great pain.” He smiled.
Ember whimperd and looked up at him she was severely confused she saw Nathaniel on her memories but he wasn't sweet and caring she saw no traces of empathy for her in his face and that broke her
"a-azazel….. Why would her do this to me? "
“Because Ember, people lie and manipulate others to get their way.” Azazel brushed his thumb across her cheek. He was painfully thin. “The king was never a good person in the first place. He's a bastard.” He giggled to himself. “You shouldn't go back to him. He'll kill you.”
Nathaniel pouted in his room. He didn't have the strength to figure out where they went. Not at the moment. Percy crawled into bed next to his papa, scared out of his mind. His nap consisted of horrible nightmares. On the other hand, his sister didn't seem phased that their mama was missing. It was only Percy and their papa.
Ember yelped "but my kids he wouldn't kill their mother! " she yelled as visions of her children blinded her
Azazel gritted his teeth. He was trying to hold some restrain from smacking Ember in her pretty, little face. "Yes. He would." He growled. Those damn children always got in the way. singe. time. "Those kids are not important to him. They are nothing but heirs to his throne." He sighed. "With you out of the way, he would get to raise the kid as murders."
"He wouldn't do that! He's kind…. He loves those kids with everything he has. "
She growled at him
Azazel growled back at Ember. “Yes, he would! Don't be a blind bitch!” He got nose-to-nose with her. “Didn't he ever tell you why he wanted children? For that exact reason.”
Embers growling became louder until she shifted walking forwards inches away from azazel's face "I'm not fucking stupid azazel I don't know what your game is here but I'm not playing it." Her eyes were bright and she looked at the demon before her she despised this man with everything bone in her body she wanted to kill to rip his throat out of his neck she bared her teeth as she continued to growl
Azazel stood. "You're not as easy to fool as I thought, but I will break you." He kicked Ember in the stomach. "You shouldn't love him. He still hasn't told you the full truth." He grabbed Ember by the scruff of her neck. "Don't snap at me, you worthless animal." He threw her across the small cell. "He never told you what would happen to you. He never told you what most children do. He never told you anything!"
Ember helped when she was slung across the cell but that only pissed her off more she lunged at amaze pining him to the ground and and she snapped at his throat
Azazel wrapped his hands around Ember’s neck, creating bruises around it. He kneed her in the stomach and pinned her down. “Be careful how you act, young wolf. You’re stuck with me.”
"I'm not young anymore azazel… I'll fucking kill you. "
Azazel laughed. “You’re right. You’re aren’t young anymore.”

Nathaniel paced around the castle. Percy stayed by his side. He was everywhere. Walking along the walls, walking along the ceilings. He was crying, screaming, and angry most nights. Percy flexed his little wings anxiously as his papa threw a vase off the nightstand in his and mama’s room. Percy watched his papa fall to his knees, his wings extended as screams echo around. His papa was bleeding from various parts of his body. Percy couldn’t do anything but whine.
The laugh that azazel let out frightened ember she shifted back and looked at him withe fear in her eyes, what did he mean by that and why was he staring at her in such a way….
