might be powerful but nothing would save your eardrums!” He put both hands on my face and pulled me in for a kiss while he chuckled at my descriptions.
    “I think you exag gerate immensely. Surly you can not be that bad ? ” He really wasn't taking me seriously.
    “Well , you ’ r e just going to have to trust me on this one ‘ cause you ain't ever going to witness it!”
    “You know I just love it when you go all Northe rn like that, it is beyond cute. ” I wrinkled my nose in disagreement.
    “No , still cute . ” He said smirking.
    “Anyway let ’ s get back to my questions. So you said he is Judas or was or whatever, how is that possible?” He frowned , not liking that we were back to this.
    “Have you not had enough for one day?” I didn't answer . I just gave him a look which was pretty easy for him to interpret.
    “Ok but only if you promise one day to let me hear you sing?”
    “Draven you should be ashamed, that is blackmail!” But he just grinned like a bad boy and mouthed the word “Demon” to me.
    “You can't pull that one every time! You don't see me doin g something bad and then say, W ell , I am a Cancerian! ” I punched him when he started laughing and we ended up having a bit of a play fight on the couch. Well , more like I tried to reach his body parts and he kept restraining me. It was a big turn on and I almost gave up my goal to have sex with him for the third time today. Wow , thre e times that would be my record.... umm , here's hoping.
    “Ok I give up, you win my goddess!” I made a satisfied noise and grinned with it.
    “Right , so explain, how is it possible for Lucius to be Judas?” H e let out an exaggerated sigh before continuing. 
    “Well the Gods in heaven are not the only ones with plans. Judas renounced his God with his last breath. He felt betrayed by Jesus but he was wrong. Jesus tried to clear his name to his disciples in one of his last of the seven statements he gave before his death. But it was dictated wrong in the scriptures. His disciples thought he was just trying to prevent vengeance and didn't b elieve his words when he said “ Truly Judas, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise . ” But they left out the “ Judas ” part for reasons of their own. Mainly to justify murder. When this was found out by Judas it was to o late, he could not change the fact that he turned his back on his faith and so he was not accepted into the paradise that Jesus spoke of. Instead he was reb orn by another God, one of the Netherworld .”
    “ He became a child of the Devil? ” Draven just nodded and I couldn't help but feel a small pain in my heart for how Lucius came to be.
    “Then what happened?”
    “Lucifer , who is father to most of the elders on this plane wanted a King to rule over the Vampir or Vampires as the y’ re more commonly known as. These Creatures have been around for thousands of years but they were weak and unpredictable. They needed a leader, one stronger than them all, someone who could control them whilst making them evolve. Imagine these weak demons like rodents becoming wild , powerful cats. They m utated, genetically so they beca me stronger, quic ker and more methodical in their thinking. Lucius became their master and he is in all of the Demons that he turns . ”
    “So it isn't humans that get turned?” I think he knew I was going to ask this because he tilted his head slightly.
    “No , these rumours originated because years before medical science , people weren't that great at distinguishing between death and someone that had just passed out for a time. As a result , a lot of people got buried alive and when the earth is wet and the graves shallow some would claw their way out. When rare cases like this happened it would naturally be put down to Vampires. Lucius is the only one that can change a Demon into something more, and if they are a partially gifted then they are even more so when they are turned. He likes to
