Hugo aged 20 (demon)

I'm escaping this hell!! I don't care if the shadow finds me again... I can't live as a prisoner of my own home anymore... As a swiftly walk down the halls of this hell, I hear someone chase after me. I run... God it's been so long since i have ran like this,

I can hear my heart beat in my ears... Every time my foot lands it sends a pain right through... But still I keep running until I dive through the portal. 

France 1800

I land nose first into a pile of hay... Great. I look round to see if the shadow followed me, but he hasn't. FINALLY I AM FREE!! I get up and run into some little kid.

"Watch where u r going mis... Wait a second aren't u Abaddon?"

"How do u know me?"

"The names Zachariah, sir. I'm normally an Angel but I'm testing a theory called revolution among these French people" 

"Won't Tobias be furious when he finds out one of his angel's have disappeared?"

"Probably, but oh well. Will you please help me, sir?"

"Sure I've got nothing better to do" 

"Then follow me, please don't tell the other guys I'm an Angel" he starts running.

I ran after him... God what is it with running today... As we run through the streets, I have to stop, it's like this invisible thread has bound me to someone... Wait it's her... She's back... Elizabeth and Melody

Hugo 5years later

 

 

I have been taking care of Elizabeth for the last 5years. Everyone has forgotten her background and treats her like their princess. She’s 11 now.
Mary is extremely jealous of her and I let Edward be king for a little while, but the he died… poor kid… he was always sickly.

 

 

 

Mary doesn’t like me or Elizabeth. She’s the same age as me now and doesn’t see me as a threat… she knows I’m not the real Henry. But she doesn’t know who I really am and what I’m capable of.

The shadow often comes to visit me, he says the demons are very disappointed in me, but to be honest I don’t actually care anymore, all that matters is Elizabeth now, she’s the one who makes me see life for what it can really be like.

I walk down one of the many long corridors as Mary runs towards me, she’s crying… but… but Mary never cries. “HENRY!! IT’S… IT’S ELIZABETH!!!”
My World falls down around me, no… no… not Elizabeth. “WHATS HAPPENED? WHERE IS SHE?”
Mary takes off running in the direction she came in and I follow closely after her… the horrible possibilities running round in my head… no not Elizabeth… anything but her.

Mary stands outside a room and I hear her scream, it rips my heart out of chest… I burst through the door…

NO, NOT THE SHADOW!!

He stands holding Elizabeth by her neck…

She’s gasping for breath…

“DADDY” she cries out…

I stand frozen…

Anger boiling up inside me…

A loud ROAR escapes my throat…

Both the Shadow and Elizabeth look at me in shock…

Elizabeth looks at me with terror…

“PUT HER DOWN, SHINIGAMI-SAMA!!!”

“NO” he tightens his grip….

I sigh and look at Elizabeth for the last time…

“I have failed Shinigami-Sama, take me home”

He smirks and puts her down…

He flies and grabs me, dragging me back to the demon realm…

Never to see Elizabeth again.

 

Hugo aged 16

Hugo aged 16 (demon years) aged 1600 (human years)

Today is my 16^th birthday, I have learnt so much since Troy. I am stronger and I know how to control the fire within me. I am no longer weak from emotions and my mentor thinks I’m ready to visit the human realm again, but this time, I will destroy the world.

As we gather round the table having a birthday feast, I hear the unkind whispers of my subjects not trusting whether I can do it or not… The whispering carries on, it fills my head. I drop my knife and fork and stand on the table.
“WHO? WHO IS IT WHO THINKS I CAN’T DO THIS?” no one raises their hands or says anything “WHO THINKS THEIR KING CANT DO THIS? COME ON BE BRAVE!!” Silence… I let the silence hang in the air until it becomes so awkward, that the biggest shadow lifts his hand.
I storm across the table to him and grab him by the throat.
He is twice the size of me in every way, but I still manage to squeeze his throat so tight, he disbands into tiny particles… the silence hangs in the air again… for a long time it’s just silent… I turn to face my subjects, their faces a mask of horror… “I am leaving, and IF you don’t believe I can do this, then watch”
Storming out the room I leave them standing there. I walk to the portal and step through.

England 1600

This place is weird; it’s full of sheep and hills. The people are living in huts! Did they not learn anything from the Greeks?
No I must not get distracted. I have one mission and one mission only. To destroy the human realm, so I could move my demons here and let them have a better life.

That’s when I spot her, the lady with the kind face, but this time she must be about 6 and she’s crying. Why is no one going to soothe her? I start walking towards her. The shadow appears behind me, scowling at me. Like always… but no I can’t let her cry again… I just can’t!! I walk and pick her up. “Hey little girl, what’s wrong? It’s going to be ok, I promise” I hug her to me and comfort her; she instantly stops crying and wraps her arms round me.
The people around us stop and stare at me. Why is it so bad that I’m hugging a child? 2 knights approach us with caution, “Sire, why are you hugging a peasant?” sire? What does he mean sire? I look down to realise I’m wearing royal clothes, I keep hugging the child.
“She needed comfort, I wish to take her back to the palace and look after her” I say, the little girl looks up at me in shock but then smiles and hugs me tightly, I hug her back and keep holding her up. “But King Henry, this isn’t allowed!! She’s a peasant girl, your father would go mental!! think about Mary and Edward!!”
I have children already, that's weird, I must of swapped lives with some old guy named Henry....
“I DON’T CARE IF SHE WAS TROLL! I AM LOOKING AFTER HER AND THAT IS FINAL!!” the little girl smiles at me, I look down at her as we walk to the castle, “what is your name little girl?”
She looks at me, her bright blue eyes shining “my name is Elizabeth” she says shyly.
“What a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl” she smiles and giggles, holding on to me for dear life.

I forget about my plans of world revolution, all that matters right now is keeping this little girl safe. The shadow follows my every move, he’s not happy, but I don’t care… not anymore…

2years later in Troy, Greece

Melody likes to keep me hidden now. I should be looking older she says and now she’s scared of me as well. The big men with swords are back and I must stay in the city they call Troy as more big men are outside. I think they want to kill me.
But it doesn’t matter anyway, the shadow appeared again, he said he very disappointed in me and if I don’t destroy troy, they will kill me. Too many people want to kill me, it’s not fair. They want to get this new person called Kika; she destroyed Pompeii with one Volcano.

 

Melody is asleep, I don’t want her to die, her kind face makes me feel human and warm inside. I look back at her sleeping face, kiss the top of her forehead, I pick up the small Trojan horse she had bought me. Then I leave.

 

 

 

I walk the streets of Troy, sticking to the shadows. The guards walking up and down are making sure it’s safe here in Troy, but not for long. I walk to the huge gate and open it, the soldiers of Paris are ready and waiting, they flood into Troy, destroying with fire as they run, people all around are screaming…

Then…

I hear Melody scream. Mummy…

No no no! Not mummy! I must save mummy, mummy can’t die! Her kind face keeps me sane, keeps calm. I run towards mummy’s house… I burst into the house, but it’s too late… the evil men have her on the bed, she keeps screaming and screaming. Mummy! No not mummy. I feel like I’m burning and the men look at me in horror as I turn them to ash, the fire is so overwhelming I pass out…

I wake up and the screaming is over, it’s light outside now. Mummy! Where’s my mummy? I get up and look for mummy; she looks so peaceful in her sleep, her kind face calm from the screaming last night. I gently stroke her face, she’s cold, freezing. “Mummy! MUMMY! No mummy!!” I shake her but she doesn’t wake up, a single tear falls down my cheek and I rest my head on her stomach.

The room freezes and I can’t hear anything anymore. The shadow appears over me and picks me up.
“Master, did good!”
But why don’t I feel good, I feel like the world is falling apart. I lost yet another Mummy.
The shadow picks me up and takes me back to the demon realm, where I head straight to my Throne Room and sit on my Throne sulking.

Today the demons let me visit the human realm again. It’ll be my first time since I was 3. I miss my mummy and daddy, but it doesn’t matter anymore, I watched them die along with my sister. But I am stronger now!
The Greeks and Hebrews have learnt to fear my name. Abaddon, every time it’s mentioned someone will hide in their house and lock their doors. Pathetic humans; their very existence is a waste of time and resources. My demons should be allowed to walk the world NOT THEM!!

“Master it’s time to go”

I follow the shadow to weakest point of our realm, where the realms overlap. It’s time to cause havoc on this world, my training has led up to this moment.
I step through and leave the comfort of my realm…

Everywhere I look round I see happy, laughing children, My jaw drops. NO NO this isn’t the place that fears me!! I AM ABADDON, no child should be happy when I am near…
I sit on the floor and cry.

A young woman with a kind face picks me up, “Hey its ok little boy, where’s your mummy and daddy?”  I shake my head, why can’t I talk, I focus my energy into talking “they dead”.
The woman with a kind face, hugs me and makes me feel warm inside, “It’s ok little boy I’ll look after you, you remind me of my son… he died though recently, his name was Calix, it means handsome and u are too, so I guess I’ll call u Calix as well.”
I smile, Calix a new name for a new era, this kind woman will look after me, her kind face makes me feel warm and fuzzy, I like this feeling.
“My name is Melody” She carries me to her home and sets me down in a cot… Where I instantly fall asleep and for the first time in life I sleep a happy sleep.

Hugo aged 3

Hugo aged 3 (human years) living in Ancient Egypt

I am the proud son of Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. However Mummy says I must hide with my twin sister, because they want to hurt us… the big evil men want to hurt us, because daddy betrayed his people, just like Julius did, that’s what mummy says anyway.

BANG BANG BANG

My sister runs for cover whilst I stay sitting there, I am not afraid, I am Hemiunu, nothing scares me. Why would I let some silly men with fire scare me and swords scare me…

BANG BANG BANG

Mummy says she is scared of me and what I could do… but I don’t know what she means. I’m only 3, haven’t done anything bad… Sis doesn’t look to play with me anymore; she is scared of me as well. She cries when I go near her… maybe she sees the real me.

BANG BANG CRASH

The big scary men have broken in, all around me I see fire and destruction, but no one hurts me… its almost like they don’t see me. Then the shadow appears…

“Master”

He whispers to me, I let him pick me up and take me away from this evil place, I don’t belong her, but do I belong anywhere. The shadow takes me to another realm. I sense something is wrong, I try to break free of the shadows grasp, but it’s no use, I’m not strong enough. “MUMMY” like any child I call for my mother’s help, but she not here, I’m all alone.

They tie me to a table… a small black shadow steps forward, it looks like me, but yet it isn’t me, no it can’t be me!! I am Hemiunu, I am human, and I am roman and Egyptian prince!!
The shadow steps closer to me and flies straight into my mouth and nose filling me with a new sense of power… I am no long Hemiunu, I am Abaddon demon king and I will cause chaos on this world.
