The Seven Kings Of Hell

“While I was sitting in my vintage car and was in two minds- whether I should go to the meadow which had turned into a living hell or should I run away like a namby-pamby,” said Leo.

 Leo had come to his parent’s house from London to Birmingham a week ago. His mother’s name was Lillian and father’s name was Noah. They were cow breeders.  There was a huge meadow near their house which was bought for the cows. They lived in a huge manor. At their big gate was a mascot, made by conjoining the letters ‘N’ and ‘L.’ They were uttermost rich. There manor was like a museum. They had a fire place which was hundred years old. There was a well on the property which had been there since World War II. It is believed that the dead bodies and tortured criminals were thrown in it.

 

 

Leo was here for five days. He had insomnia so he usually slept at five in the morning. One night he was strolling in the gigantic garden in the moonlight. He saw a person near the well.  He was wearing a red armour with golden embellishments. He tip-toed and saw that creature eating something from the well.  It turned around and there was blood on its face, its eyes were glowing like lasers. He was numb with fear. He ran back to his room. When he looked from his window there was nobody to be seen.

The next day he was anxious but he also wanted to check the meadow.  The herd was grazing the field but there was a single cow ten meters away. It was not grazing but just standing freely with its head bowing.  He went closer and whipped the cow. It gave him a disgusted look. Its eyes were jet black. He fell down because of fearfulness. He then kept sitting in the meadow for few hours and then came back home.

 One day in the night he went to the meadow again. It looked great but it was freezing. Abruptly, the meadow transformed into a lava. It became barren and suddenly seven giant monsters started coming towards him. One of them said while growling, “We are….. Hmmm the SEVEN KINGS OF HELL!!!” Leo was flabbergasted. He was in total disbelief. The next day he was found lying there, pale, weak and injured. He was taken to the hospital straightaway. The doctor said that he was traumatized and in a state of shock. He needed medical supervision in the hospital. That night one the seven kings came. His name was Lucifer.  He growled, “You…... You are so evil inside and you don’t even know. Your place is below the earth, where you can make some pain!!” Leo was so scared that no word could come out of his throat. Then he eloped from the hospital, went home, packed his bag and got into his vintage car. But then he heard his parents’ cries. But somehow, he didn’t care at all. He became selfish and ran away.

After few years, he was going to get married. He saw his face in the mirror. His eyes were red and Lucifer was behind him sticking on the wall. Then Leo said, “Thank You! Because of you I got to know my actual identity.” Lucifer growled, “Hmmm….. My pleasure!”
