"A Mall? Really, Matthias?" His eyes narrowed at the happy sign proclaiming the shopping market's existence. It was a large, stone sign with pleasant flowers and picturesque rivers of water streaming over the water lettering into a nice little fountain. "I'm not looking for some sort of useless whining teenager."
"Your Highness, do you want the throne or not? You need to corrupt someone and this is the quickest way--"
"I don't want the quickest way! I can't have the entire underworld thinking I took the easy way out! I want a real challenge, something that shows I deserve to be the demon king. Do you understand that, Matthias?"
His manservant sighed and shrugged. "Would you like to go to the local church, then?"
The Prince shook his head and glared, not appreciating the sarcasm. "No. Look, go off on your own somewhere. If you find a suitable candidate call me. I'll look by myself."
He walked off without glancing back at Matthias, knowing the orders would be followed without needing to watch. Matthias's soul was bound to his, he could not disobey the prince even if he wanted to.
He shoved his hands into his pockets and wandered past the cheery advertisements of clothing and make-up. Vanity was a wonderful thing. It made his life so much easier. He was rather vain himself, he noted as he appraised his own appearance in a reflective window. Dark hair pushed up to the perfect half-styled, half-messy spikes, amber eyes just a shade too red for normal humans, and perfect, unblemished skin. Demons were beautiful creatures, that was what made them so dangerous. It was no good tempting people with ugliness.
"Well, let's see what this depraved hovel of greed has to offer me. Come on heaven, send me your best angel." His eyes darted into stores and into the food courts, looking for that special light that would shine from those most likely to defy him. They were always the sweetest.

Today is, well was and average day for Alexis until the bell rang for school and she was dragged out of the library which she called her haven to the place where appearances matter. "Sarah, I honestly do not understand why you had to drag me to this place." Alexis said to her with a horribly bored voice. "Sheesh, I thought you would be happy to get out of the dull library for once!" Sarah said and you could clearly tell that she felt unappreciated. Sarah and Alexis were considered opposites, Sarah was popular and had the blonde hair that most beautiful girls had. Alexis was quiet and didn't like talking to people sometimes, well people at her school only. Alexis also had odd red eyes because she had no pigment to protect her eyes but somehow over the years she adapted. She could talk to any stranger on the street easily. Alexis was considered innocent and mysterious at the same time. No one knew her past but Alexis would never tell anyone so she could remain innocent.
Sarah dragged her into some clothing department store to watch her try on outfits, more like to just be there since Sarah didn't even ask her opinion. Alexis was happy she had a book in her bag so she pulled it out and flipped to the page she left off on. She was reading "The Book Thief" a book she had read a million times but it never got old to her. Sara babbled on as background noise and Alexis easily ignored her with the printed words. She was in the view of the entrance of the store so anyone walking by could have seen her clearly without having to walk inside even.

"And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations." Revelation 13:7
_______________________________________________________
Book stores, electronic stores, craft stores...how many stores did they really need? And how many different kinds of clothing stores needed to be packed in the same aisle? He glanced over the signs and smirked. Most of these were owned by the same company catering to each of the warring cliques. It was beautiful to watch the teenagers refusing to be with those people and wear those clothes but still sponsoring the same company. The wonders of marketing.
The prince ambled down the aisles of some fashionable store, checking out clerk and customer alike. Each one was falling below standard. It was a pity really. Their God had given them so much power, so much capability or doing the right thing. And they all fell short--which really meant they fell directly into his hands. And he would keep them there for eternity if he had anything to say about it.
Free will was far too much for these pigs. If they understood their true nature, these humans might be a force to be reckoned with. But fortunately for the prince, most did not. Most did not even consider what they were capable of doing. And so he could manipulate and move them as easily as anything.
He made a pass through the female side of the store--he had always found girls more satisfying--and found himself lingering by the changing rooms. The demon loved walking around changing rooms. Pride and despair floated through the air like the sweetest perfume. He did not care which direction people fell off the path, just that they did.
But while he enjoyed the depravity that was humans trying on clothing, that was not his purpose here. It was a nice snack compared to the real prize.
He was about to move on when his eyes lighted upon a diminutive figure with her nose buried in a book. She had potential, but he would have to do a little more reconnaissance to be sure. She had a friend with her who came and went, chattering uselessly as she tried on various clothes. The blonde barely noticed that her friend was not paying attention. He smirked and made his way over. He quietly leaned on the wall next to his target once the blonde was back in the changing rooms again.
"That's some heavy stuff, Miss. Is shopping so horrifying you must retreat to World War II to escape it?" He smiled as best he could down at her. It wouldn't do for her to spook and run right away. He would need to get past the initial aversion all humans had for demons. Some called it natural instinct--avoiding the predator. Most had lost touch with the real sense that pulled them from demons. He hoped she hadn't, it would make this so much more fun.

Alexis flipped through the pages as two piles of clothes started to pile next to her. It was clear that one pile were clothes that did fit and one was those that didn't or they just looked bad. She didn't noticed the pile truthfully but the words that danced across the page. She could see the story in her mind and it never ceased to entertain her. She was distracted until a figure appeared on the wall next to her and it spoke. She remembered the page number and closed the book gently. Her eyes gazed over to see the body of the voice and nodded then looked back at the dressing room Sarah was in. "Shopping is horrible, this is the place where a girl feels most self-conscious about her appearance." she paused and sighed, "She is trying clothes on in the heart of society where anyone could see her and where people are the most judgmental, they are also merciless about it."
Alexis flipped the book over so the cover faced her and she looked down at it and replied, "World War II is at least filled with cruelty that has a sort of logic to it." She looked back up at the stranger wondering what his reply would be, but also studying his features. His eyes is truly what caught her attention, they were a dark amber but also red, his eyes were darker than hers but it seemed as if he didn't have the same condition as her, Colored contacts maybe? Alexis pushed the thought to the back of her mind so she didn't dwell on it for too long.

"Logic is often the downfall of man." He responded with a pleased smile. Logic so often broke someone's faith. There was of course a supreme logic beyond human understanding, but their minds were so frail and so easily molded they were not willing to wait for it. She was not taken in by the whiles of the marketing company. That or she was incredibly self-conscious herself. She had analyzed the situation very well. She at least had a brain. Smart people were more fun to play with. Far more challenging.
"Had some bad experiences with judgmental shoppers?" He asked cautiously, sensing a bit of bitterness in her words. But he backtracked, realizing it was a bit too early to be asking for deep personal answers, especially when he had volunteered no actual information himself. "Sorry, where are my manners? That wasn't the best question. My name is Jason, by the way. I'm new in town." He held out a hand for her to shake.

Alexis nodded in agreement, and was going to add something but Sarah yelled to her that she was going to be trying on some more clothes then she would be done. Alexis didn't say anything back though she knew they were going to be there for a while still. She placed the book right next to her as she turned a bit so she was now facing the stranger a bit more. His next question caught her off guard as it was a bit personal she still would have replied if he didn't catch himself first. Jason huh? No wonder I hadn't actually seen someone like him around before. she thought to herself. When people lived here for a while it was common that theys tarted seeing the same people around when they went to public places like the mall. Alexis shook his hand and said, "I'm Alexis, it is nice to meet you Jason."
She let her hand fall back to her lap and she eventually answered his first question, "No, I haven't had any personal experiences for that kind of thing but I have seen it happen to other girls who didn't deserve it." Alexis brushed some of her hair out of her face and continued to look up at Jason. "So why did you move here? I am pretty sure there are more interesting places to live." She asked him and waited for his answer.

She did not seem to have picked up on his demonic side, which was both good and bad. It meant she was not as in tune with her Godly spirit, which would make her less afraid of him. It also meant there could be less challenge. People not in touch with the spirit sometimes held to tight ideals anyway, so that was not necessarily true, but it was more fun to steal people directly from Heaven, not just push them the rest of the way off the bridge.
Alexis, then? It was a pretty name. He approved.
Darling, you all deserve every bit of judgment and pain you receive. If only you knew.
"I disagree." He said with a shrug. "There are a myriad of opportunities here, plenty of things to find...interesting." He glanced at her appreciatively. "Do you not like it here?"

Alexis found his response a little odd, but she guessed maybe it was a different opinion for him. She shook her head that said she really didn't like living here, "Well it wasn't like I wanted to move here, I was forced and I don't generally like places I am forced to go to." Alexis hoped that meant her parents moved because of work whic wasn't the case exactly. She moved those thoughts to the back of her mind, those were memories she wasn't fond of. "My parents moved here because of work is what I mean." she explained and sighed. No one knew her past and she aimed to keep it that way. It was in a way illegal for her to tel anyone even.

"Work can do that. My father's work moved us all over the place." She wasn't telling the truth. Or at least, not the whole truth. That was interesting. He wondered what she was hiding. He could not read her mind, but he had a certain sense for sin. It did sustain his existence after all.
The prince wondered just how far this authority issue went. He could work with that if it was deep. But if it was just a simple matter of wanting to choose things herself... well, he could probably work with that too.
But he was getting ahead of himself. He hadn't chosen Alexis just yet, though he was certainly feeling inclined to. She was interesting.
"What do your parents do?" He asked. He wondered if he should fashion some sort of permanent family unit for himself in this town. Matthias usually served as a temporary father figure, but he could call in other demons if he needed more characters. There were always hungry ones wandering around hoping for a chance to snack.

Alexis had some sort of feeling that he didn't buy it, or it could have been her imagining things. She knew she couldn't worry about the sins that weighed on her since they were a few years ago but she still had nightmares of it all. Alexis tried not to think about it and pay attention to the conversation she was currently having. When he asked about her parents work she easily replied, "My father is a emergency medical surgeon and my mother is an artist and photographer." Alexis had a comfortable life, well only financially. "So Jason, do you go to the high school?" she asked him wondering if he was or if he had already graduated. She was a senior this year and going to graduate soon, she already had a few colleges she could pick from but there were so many things she would have to go through to even be allowed to apply still.
Alexis saw someone in a black suit out of the corner of her eye pass by the shop and unfortunately knew what it meant. It wouldn't interfere with her conversation but she was going to have to talk to them sometime this week. I didn't know it was that week already. She made sure her attention stuck to Jason though and pushed all the things she didn't want to do right out of her mind so she wouldn't think about it at all.

A doctor and an artist? An interesting pairing. Perhaps he could drive them apart. That might be fun. Ah, there he went making plans again. He pondered her question carefully. Should he go to high school? It would make seeing her easier, but perhaps she could be persuaded to skip school some times. But that would take the effort of going through school administration and that was always a pain. No, he did not want to go to high school.
"I graduated early." He finally decided to tell her. "I'm looking a job here to save up for college now." There. He would have plenty of maneuverability with his schedule. Matthias could be an uncle he had come with. Perhaps a cousin. He did not need an entire family.
He did not notice the black suits, focused as he was on Alexis. He did notice her tense up a little, however and wondered at it. This was hardly a strange conversation. It was a basic get-to-know-you kind of thing. Perhaps she had picked up on some of his dark energy.
"You know of any openings?" He asked casually, keeping the innocent topic going.

Alexis wasn't as tense when the man passed and left. So he graduated early, that was fairly interesting. She probably could have gotten that chance a while ago but she never skipped a grade when they asked her if she wanted to. Now thinking back that probably would have been a smart move to do so. He was looking for a job, there weren't many around unless he wanted the typical teenage ones like working at a fast food place or some restaurant but he didn't seem like he would like that kind of thing. "Well you could probably get hired at any of the typical places around here like restaurants, department stores, and things like that." None of those sounded entertaining to her and she wouldn't dare put herself through something horribly boring like that. He might though. "If you wanted something more interesting you might have to look around a bit," Alexis said to him and shrugged.
The last interesting job around here was probably when the hospital needed a bunch of interns and such but that soon changed when a large class of students graduated from the medical school in one town nearby. Well I remember mom was looking for someone to help her around the studio since I couldn't anymore. Alexis thought and put her thoughts into words, "Well my mom was looking for someone to help her in her studio, they didn't have to have experience with painting or anything just help her with little things. I know she would pay fairly well for such a small job, you can give her a call if you are interested." Alexis reached over to her book and pulled out a small card from one of the pages and held it out to him.

There was nothing too demeaning for a demon when a job needed to be done. If the prince had to work in fast food or a department store to get closer to his target, he had no scruples. It would certainly be annoying, but what was a minor inconvenience to the greater prize? Her eternal soul was worth so much more than a few hours a day flipping burgers.
He took the offered card and glanced over the information with interest. Getting close to her family would be important. And art was always a fun way to tempt people. So much free expression, so many lines to be crossed. Jason loved artists. "A studio, huh? That would be wonderful, thank you." He pocketed the card. "Would you be around much?" If she worked there too he would be ecstatic.

Alexis placed her hand back on her lap when he took the card and was happy that he actually liked the idea. Her mother had been getting desperate to find someone since Alexis couldn't help her anymore, but she will be extremely happy now. His question was slightly odd but she answered, "Yeah, the studio is another building right next to the house and I am almost always home." Alexis smiled slightly and saw Sarah walk out of the changing room in her normal clothes again then head grabbing all the clothes and head to the cashier. That more than likely meant they would leave soon and before Sarah saw any other clothes she planned on dragging the blonde out of the mall so Alexis could go home, she was liking the conversation with Jason so far though. "That number is the house number so don't worry if my mom doesn't answer, I have to go though since Sarah is finally done. It was nice talking to you." Alexis stood up and grabbed her book right as Sarah was heading over to her. Before the girl could ask about who Alexis was talking to, Alexis grabbed her arm and practically dragged her out of the store and towards the exit. She had tons of tests to study for which was the reason she was in the library anyways.
"Sarah we are leaving, I went with you but I have tons of tests coming up!" Alexis said to her and Sarah sighed and agreed, "Okay fine, you seriously need to have fun sometimes." They walked out of the mall and headed towards Sarah's little PT Cruiser in the parking lot. Alexis got picked up by Sarah this morning so her car was still at home. It wasn't until Alexis got into the car that she realized she had given Jason the card that cell phone number on the back. Sarah always got a new phone and always lost Alexis' number so she wrote on a card to give to her to program, well Sarah gave it back and Alexis kept it in her book. Oh, my mistake, oh well. The house number is on there so I guess it isn't too bad. Sarah pulled out of the parking lot and finally started to drive Alexis back home.
