the way.
    “No, not until I know who is giving the orders,” Dimitri yells into the darkness.
    “My name is Belial and I will be judging you. Please, sit down,” a light shows Belial location to be sitting ten feet in front of Dimitri on a high throne made of white-gray stone. Belial points to the blue stone altar and then signals downward to Dimitri. Dimitri does what he commands and awaits his judgment.
    “I am going to made this as fast and as painless as possible. You were on a one-way ticket to hell until you said the words; ‘What have I done? God, Please forgive me.’ After that, everything changed for you and that is why we are in this very room right now. I am a giving kind of Demon. So what I am going to offer you is a deal,” Belial says taking a drink from his goblet.
    “A deal… what kind of deal?” Dimitri looks deep into Belial’s eyes to only find the black nothingness of a void.
    “See, you’re special, due to that fact that you repented just before Death brought you here. I am going to offer you a deal that does not come around often. If you make it through the crime and punishment plane then I am going to let you go to heaven,” Belial replies taking another drink from his goblet.
    “Okay, I accept your deal. I was just wondering what is in your goblet that you keep sipping on?”
    “The sweet blood of the damned souls that couldn’t make it out alive of the crime and punishment plane that you, Dimitri, are going to face in the next couple of seconds,” Belial replies laughing back at Dimitri as he takes another sip.
    “I’ll be back to take that sip myself,” Dimitri begins to stand up but notices that he cannot. “What is going on here?”
    “The punishment has already begun,” Belial chuckles.

Chapter 16
    David wakes up in the middle of the night to realize he passed out while talking to Suezy. He tries to cry for his family but nothing will come out. Lying in the bed, David begins to think-talk to himself.
    ‘Why am I alive? Why did I survive? Where are Markus and Wendi? I hoped that they did not die in the fire. Why was that boy trying to kill my aunt and uncle? What did they ever do to that boy? I don’t think that I’m not going to have a home to go to. I have nothing. No home, no clothes, my family is dead.’
    David bursts into tears as he screams so everyone within a fifty-foot radius could hear him. Not being able to move David is bedridden until the pain of his past passes. He cries himself to sleep once more, wanting to see his younger brother and sister again.

Chapter 17
    Markus and Wendi grew up to become inseparable because she is the baby of the family.
    Markus, a stout, dark-haired, and chubby boy with a birthmark on his right inner ankle due to a difficult birth was never as tall as his sisters and brothers, but he was built like an ox, strong and proud. Nicklaus would joke with the rest of the family how one day Markus would be pulling the buggy of the horses instead.
    Wendi, with golden, bluish-black hair, was the smallest of the seven children. To this day everyone questioned where she got that hair. Her hair color and skin tone resembles none of her brothers or sisters. They have a creamy color to their skin while her skin has a darker golden brown color. Some people whisper in the shadows that she is of a different race and not that of her family. In the end, she calls Nicklaus and Halie Turner, mother and father.

Chapter 18
    Dimitri lies on the cold damp blue stone altar with his hands and feet bound by chains made from giant fish hooks over one foot in length piercing his hands and feet through the center. Helpless, he listens to the demons talk amongst themselves. Only understanding what Belial, says he beings to believe that he might make it out alive after all.
    Belial lets out a giant roar that quiets everyone in the room. “Now, since you have stabbed a person to death, you shall be stabbed to death. Then, after that, you shall be burnt to death.
