Obey me! X Reader - One Master To Rule Them All!

Chapter 10

READER'S POV

For the past couple of nights, I have been sneaking out of my room to go to that spiral staircase that's leading me to that mysterious voice that I heard from before but, unfortunately, the eldest brother is always on guard and he catches me in the act. Like last night, when I went to the staircase again, Lucifer caught me.

It looks like I won't be able to reach the top of the staircase unless I can do something about Lucifer because if I don't, I won't be able to find out who's been calling out to me.

The next morning...

I got up from the bed and I got ready for school. I tied my hair into a ponytail and then I grabbed my schoolbag and headed down stairs. I was about to head into the dining room until I glanced at bulletin board for the job requests. I thought about performing at the park but, I was worried about the demons attacking me since there's a chance that there might not be any friendly ones. I think I will find work later, right now I have bigger things to worry about.

I walked into the dining room and I found Mammon already sitting at his spot as usual.

"Morning," I greeted him before sitting down at the table.

"*Sighs* Why do I gotta be stuck here with you first thing in the morning having to look at your face while I'm tryin' to eat my breakfast," Mammon complained while I ate my meal and sipping my coffee.

"To us demons, eating a human like you is a special sorta treat, understand? Yet I'm not allowed to do that. I've gotta sit here and eat my breakfast instead. I mean, it's like havin' a premium-grade roast Iriomote musk hog right in front of me. Medium rare, cooked to perfection. But I can't have it. Instead I'm sitting here eatin' dried blackbelly newt legs. I mean, I'm not sayin' blackbelly newt legs are bad. I actually like 'em but still."

For some reason, I was starting to lose my appetite when Mammon said this. I picked up my mug of coffee and I sipped it a few times.

"And what's even worse is that thick, juicy hunk of meat has started giving me orders now, like it's the boss of me or somethin'. It's REALLY not fun. I mean, what sick kind of torture is this, anyway?!"

I sighed heavily before I asked Mammon.

"Where's Beel?"

"Speakin' of Beel, that reminds me. He went and ate the custard I left in the refrigerator-the one I was saving for later! I told him NOT to eat anything that had my name on it! Ugh, I'm gonna kill him!"

"Well, that's bound to happen when you don't label your food. We had that sort of thing happening back in the Orha-" I stopped mid-sentence since I didn't want anyone knowing where I lived before coming here.

"Uh, I mean in the human world. That's right..."

Mammon stared at me for a few moments before he asked me.

"Anyway, what's up with you? you looked like you had your head in the clouds."

"Nothing."

"Okay...I'm sure the others have already scurried off to class and left me to look after ya on my own, the punks. Dammit, they're all rotten, every last one of 'em."

I sweat dropped when I saw that look on his face and I knew what was coming next.

"Here he goes..." I mumbled quietly.

"This all comes back to Lucifer! Getting stuck having to look after a human, ending up in a pact, everything bad is his fault! The way Levi's haircut is so lame, and Satan's horns are so stupid-lookin'. and Lucifer's feet are so putrid, all of it is Lucifer's fault! ...Not that I've ever actually smelled his feet, but still!"
