Last, but not least, if you can survive all of that, we have something special planned out for you,” Belial takes another sip.
“I can take whatever you can throw at me!” Dimitri taunts Belial to do all this himself. “Wait, are you frightened of me?”
“I am not frightened of a little boy that has no idea of pain. In fact, if you want me to do this to you, all you have to do is ask,” Belial puts down his goblet and awaits his answer.
“Bring it on,”
“As you wish,” Belial appears over Dimitri with the same knife that he used to kill David’s aunt and uncle. Belial looks deep into Dimitri's eyes and sees a little boy cowering behind a glass sculpture of Dimitri.
‘This is going to be easy and fun.’ Belial thinks to himself.
Chapter 19
David awakes to a damp cloth wiping across his head, cleaning off the dried on sweet from last night. He turns his head to look at Suezy; she smiles back at him.
“Me and Jasp, which is short for Jasper, have always wanted children, but we have had no luck. I think that it was an act of God that we had found you that day. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. He does that you know. He sends out, His Angels, and they do His bidding whatever it maybe. I am just so happy that we have found you.”
David remembers his mother and how she used to take care of him when he was sick. Suezy is so much like his mother; it is as if his guarding angel was his mother looking over him at all times. Even now, while being nursed back to health by Suezy, he wonders if his guarding angel needs him to see Suezy in a different light or even a guiding light. A guiding light, like a mother figure, that is always looking out for him wherever he may go. David peers at Suezy with love in his heart because he knows now that everything will work out for the better.
Chapter 20
Belial, savoring every moment as he stabs Dimitri, making sure the blade hits against the blue stone altar after each thrust. Dimitri cries as Belial licks the blade to savior the pure goodness of Dimitri's blood. Dimitri realizes that he has not made it to the halfway point in the first of three tests he must past to get into heaven.
“Did you think that you would not pay for the wrong that you have done? I hope that you are sorry for the people you killed. If not, you will be after I am through with you,” Belial shouts into Dimitri's ears as he holds the knife to Dimitri's throat. “Do you remember what you said to the nice young lady whose life you took away? I think that it was something along the lines of ‘you have to pay for his sins’ as well,” Belial slits Dimitri's throat from side to side letting him choke on his own blood.
Belial climbs down off the altar and walks to his seat to get a slip from his goblet. He toasts Dimitri as he dies on the altar, “This is the part that I love.”
Dimitri's body begins to heal itself, becoming complete once again. His head and back arches as he gulps in the largest breath of air that he has ever taken. Dimitri turns his head to look at Belial. He sees Belial smiling and raising a toasting to him for making it this far.
“Congratulations, my dear boy! You have just passed the first test. Now, on to the second test!” Belial snaps his fingers and Dimitri's body is set ablaze. “This is why I never get tried of this job.”
Dimitri cries out in agony as he thinks, 'Being burnt to death is far worse than being stabbed to death.'
Feeling the flames burning his skin off his body as it tries to get at his muscles is a feeling that he never wanted to know. Now he gets to experience it first hand. His ears, nose, and lips are melting off him like hot butter being spread over steak. His eyes hurt the most, cooking in his skull, and turning into hard boiled eggs. Dimitri's bones begin to cook, turning his muscles into meat. Lying there, wishing for it to stop, he realizes that the flames are starting to die down but he cannot move.
“Who's hungry for ribs? How
