Confronting his Demons

Sam sighed, as he entered the elevator, pressing the button for Basement as he rubbed his eyes, echos of that night flashed through his mind, everything about it was upsetting, His loss of control, Azazel and what he did to her in his crushing rage, Lucifer's involvement it all made him hold his breath.

However Azazel could not be kept in a cage forever and so he had to deal with it. the doors opened to the basement, mostly dark until he flicked the light on, it was of course large but luckily his destination was not far, a simple room but barred with silver, a short term solution but an effective one none the less and in those moments when he entered the room and they looked at each other Azazel seemed mostly docile.

she was still in Demon form, Azazel had not been to the surface in a while, he doubted that she had even made any kind of Human form yet, Half demon's like Sam didn't have too but lucky for her she did get to choose should she not try to kill him the moment he let her out "My Prince, You came." she said standing walking forward, the Silver bars separated them, close and thick enough to keep her inside "Yes, I came." he said not making eye contact with her serpentine eyes "I Wish to bargain." Sam chuckled "Do you now?"
"I am My King's Servant..." Sam chuckled "You have a poor memory Az..." he said pacing around "You swore yourself to me." She hissed at him, he would of flinched before, he didn't this time, now he knew that if push came to shove he would win "Lucifer will not allow thisss, you have ssstolen two of his generalsss already, he will not tolerate a third." Sam's body shifted for a moment, the echo's of his demonic form flashing forward and making Azazel fly back against the wall in fear "What Lucifer Will and Will not tolerate is no longer my concern."

Sam was conflicted as he saw her, he hated what he had done to her before, how he tortured her but part of him enjoyed it, maybe it was pity that made him do what he did, maybe it was fear for what he might become should he not do it but none the less he walked over to the door, using his shirt to cover his skin from the silver as he pulled out the keys to the cell.

Azazel seemed more than confused "What are you doing?" he ignored her as she watched him unlock it and open the door, She thought he might attack her again and so she prepared to fight, but watched as Sam simply step aside "Go." He said looking at her.
"What?" Sam gestured to the exit "Go on, run back to Lucifer, having you here would be a pain in the Ass anyway..." Azazel scowled "I... I can't just."
"Look if you stay, you will be my servant, Can you honestly say that you will obey my every whim, every word I give as if it were given by Lucifer himself? can you honestly say that?" Azazel looked at him, then the exit and relaxed "No." she said standing straight "I can't" Sam shrugged "Then go ahead, run back to hell." and she did.

Azazel was cautious as she passed him but quickly ran out of the cage and the second she got out she disappeared. Sam shrugged and went back upstairs, simply happy to be done with the matter.

Sam was upstairs surprisingly bored, Azazel was gone, Lily, Isabella, and The Beast had gone shopping and he and Apollyon simply sat, playing Snap... "Since when did an Arch-Demon play Snap?" She adjusted her round glasses, carefully checking the cards in her hand and then the ones on the table "I started playing at Book club?" Sam made a face a face that said bullshit and she looked up to see it "Are Arch-Demon's not allowed to go to Book-Club?" Sam sat jaw on the ground "It... It is a little bit strange I guess?" she shrugged "The Beast enjoys Guns." she said looking again through her cards, "Okay that I can believe."
"But you can't believe that I read books?" Sam put down his cards and stood "Is everything okay My Prince?" He rubbed his chin in thought "Do you think that Letting Azazel go was a good idea?" she grinned at him and stood walking over to him.

Apollyon got in close gently caressing his chest through his chest as she looked at him "All of your ideas are good ideas, my Prince." Sam huffed "You're paid to say that." he said sarcastically "I am not paid, not with money anyway," she said rubbing her hand on his bicep for a moment "But you have never failed us, you have led us true so far, even with all of the Humans and Angels and bullshit you have done well by us" Sam smiled "You know, you're right"
"Of course I'm right, I don't remember a time that I was God damn wrong." Sam frowned "Did you just quote ISpy?" she shrugged as she went to walk off "So you go to Book Club and Listen to Rap Music!?" she chuckled as he cried after her.
