Diana: Dusk's Family

A/N: The default language in this chapter is [D], Demonic.

I had to be woken up just to be told to go back to sleep? The Empress leans against the wall. Why do I even bother trying? It's not like I could ever appeal to these rats. She rubs her rear. Even what little I can rebel is painful... She sighs, seeing the other two snuggling in with her captor. "I swear, when I get free-"

"Mommy!" She's interrupted by a whispered voice peeking through the rear door of the house. The horned, purple hornet quickly rushes in and hugs her mother, with the blond twin walking in as if nothing was happening. Violet gasps, pointing to the infernal man. "Can we sleep like that with Daddy, too?"

"N-" The Empress' first instinct is to outright refuse. I need to stay on their good side if I expect them to help me escape this damned prison... "...sure...let's sleep with...Daddy tonight..." She pauses. He's been hitting her head...is that supposed to be good or bad? Agh! I can't be cautious here! Her hand lowers between the fledgling queen's horns and antennae, 'patting' her head.

"Mommy, Daddy doesn't normally do it that hard."

She flinches, before trying to 'pat' more lightly. "Sorry...sweetie. I'm not...used to this, yet."

"It's okay. Daddy can teach you." The smile on Violet's face is annoying. "Come on! Let's snuggle with Daddy!" She begins dragging her mother around the bed, before hopping down and scooting closer to the devil.

The Empress follows suit, reluctantly sitting down and sandwiching Violet, causing pain to radiate from her rear. I have a feeling I won't be sleeping well tonight...

"Daisy, come on!" Violet whispers, and after a moment, the blond queen sits on the Empress' opposite side.

This one...I feel like I'll have an easier time convincing her to betray that damned devil... She wraps an arm around each of her children and attempts to sleep, leaning back against the bed...

. . .

"Can't sleep?" She glares to her side, finding a sleepy devil looking at her, smirking. He adjusts so that his hand is on her rear. "Let me help you out with that." A soothing warmth begins flowing through the Empress.

"What is the point? You're just going to do the same tomorrow."

"I don't have to, you know... You can end it whenever you want... Did you decide on a name?"

"...Diana..."

He yawns, now gripping her shoulder and pulling her close. "Diana, I'm happy...to welcome you to the family...whether or not you accept...is up to you. He kisses her cheek before pulling her head into his shoulder. "Time to go to sleep, Diana."

She adjusts herself to be a bit more comfortable before gazing down at her twins, sleep coming quicker than she could have expected. I'll...get us out of here...sweeties...
