Obey Me : Escape to the Devildom
Episode 04
At the hallway in the morning.
Mammon (Demon)
(whispering) Ugh… can’t believe Lucifer took my credit card.…!
Mammon (Demon)
And I gotta babysit the human because of it?
Mammon (Demon)
(grumbling) Tch. He’s just mad 'cause I bought 300,000 Grimm worth of shiny boots.
Mammon stopped in front of her door, sighed loudly, and knocked once.
Mammon (Demon)
Oi...human! You awake?
Mammon (Demon)
C'mon. Lucifer says you gotta breakfast.
Mammon (Demon)
You're comin' with me to the dining room. Don’t make me beg Or worse explain it to him.
The dining hall smelled of fresh food and something sweeter and
peace.
For a moment, it felt like things might be normal.
She sat down hesitantly beside Mammon, still quiet from the night before.
Asmodeus (Demon)
Morning, sunshine~ Did you sleep well in our haunted little mansion?
Leviathan (Demon)
You didn’t hear any weird whispers from the west wing, did you?
Beelzebub (Demon)
Want something to eat? I made too much again.
Belphegor (Demon)
(yawn) Why are we even up this early...?
She smiled, just barely.
Their voices strange but warm started to settle the storm in her chest.
But then, a coldness swept through the room.
Satan had arrived.
He stood near the door, arms crossed, eyes sharp.
Satan (Demon)
… So she’s really staying here?
Lucifer (Demon)
Yes. As part of the program.
Satan (Demon)
Hmph. Great! Another fragile human to get in the way.
Leviathan (Demon)
HEY! That was my food, Beel!
Beelzebub (Demon)
It was on the wrong plate!
Leviathan (Demon)
Wrong plate?! That’s my color-coded RAD set!
Suddenly voices rose. Beel and Levi were shouting.
Plates clattered. A chair screeched.
The chaos cracked the fragile peace in the room.
And Satan… was about to snap.
His aura surged raw and furious.
Books in the corner trembled.
Silverware shook.
Atleena (Human)
(She clutched the table overwhelmed.)
Mammon (Demon)
(quietly, beside her) Hey…
Mammon (Demon)
Grab my hand.
Mammon (Demon)
(softer) Trust me. Now.
Her fingers reached for his without thinking.
The moment their hands touched Mammon pulled her up and ran.
They run from there and reach the staircase.
Atleena (Human)
(panting) What… was that?
Mammon (Demon)
(still holding her hand) That was Satan.
Mammon (Demon)
And trust me you don’t wanna see him when he loses it.
Mammon (Demon)
(glancing down)....You okay?
Atleena (Human)
I didn’t know where to go.
I just… trusted you.
Mammon (Demon)
Heh.
Then you already did better than most people here.
Atleena (Human)
Ohh. Really?
Mammon (Demon)
Nah, You won't be as better than me.
Atleena (Human)
Oh. So why you hold my hand?
Mammon (Demon)
To save it from Satan.
Atleena (Human)
Why you save me??
Mammon (Demon)
Because I am the only one who can save you here.
Mammon (Demon)
(Warning) This is a very dangerous place for a human, so come to me no matter what danger arises.
Mammon (Demon)
C'mon, let's go to class at RDA Academy.
Atleena (Human)
(She shook her head)
Atleena (Human)
(In her mind) *What is this demon like? Even though he doesn't seem to care on the outside, he cares on the inside.*
Atleena (Human)
*He is a nice guy??*
She sat at the desk by the window.
The classroom buzzed with low voices, unfamiliar faces, and powerful auras.
No one came near her but they watched.
Except one.
Mammon (Demon)
(sitting sideways in the seat next to her) Alright, new girl.
Mammon (Demon)
Rule number one in RAD don’t eat anything Levi gives you unless it’s sealed.
Mammon (Demon)
Last time I took a bite of somethin' from him, I turned into a fish for three hours.
Mammon (Demon)
Not the weirdest day I’ve had, honestly.
Atleena (Human)
(She laughed just a little)
Mammon (Demon)
(Mammon froze wide-eyed, like he’d just found something rare.)
Mammon (Demon)
(In his mind)*Her smile....I can't believe that. Did I impress a girl like this??*
Mammon (Demon)
(Suddenly) *Whatt??? Never!!!, Mammon! you are the avatar of greed!!!!*
Mammon (Demon)
*You're never one to fall in love with a woman.Never!!!!!!*
The classroom smelled faintly of incense and old books.
Floating candles lit the ceiling. Rows of students human and demon sat in silence.
Professor : "Today’s lesson is 'Beginner Barrier Spells'.
To most, it was harmless practice.
To her, it was foreign… and unsettling."
Coming to her.
Professor : “Your assignment is simple. Focus on the crystal and push your intent outward. Create a barrier.
It does not have to be perfect only yours.”
Atleena (Human)
(Softly) Okay.
Around her, students chanted softly.
Magic shimmered in the air like golden dust.
She looked down at her crystal. It pulsed once.
Then again.
And then without warning it shattered.
A spark shot out like lightning hitting the desk.
Then the floor. Then her.
A dark red glow wrapped around her ankle like a chain tightening.
Her breath caught.
Atleena (Human)
(panicking) No....No, not again!!!!
It wasn’t the Devildom it's her childhood memory.
It was they locked in a room. They yelling, the hands and the fear.
Magic roared louder in her ears than any voice.
Student : “What happened?!”
Leviathan (Demon)
Did she trigger a curse?!
Asmodeus (Demon)
She’s shaking....wait, is she crying?!
Her body trembled. She couldn’t breathe.
All she could do was curl in, clutch her arms and wait for it to end.
