Harmonia appears in a hallway.
The hallway is dark. Pitch black dark. She feels as if she is standing on a carpet with stone underneath. At the end of the hallway, there is a doorway. The only reason she knows there is a doorway is because she can see that behind the doors, ominous red light leaks into the room from the cracks underneath and between them.
She feels a frigid draft, as if from an open window, yet she doesn't see one.
Harmonia stops, looking around and shivering in fear and from the cold. "W-what-" She walks forward, fear filling her as she fumbles for her phone, checking her pocket for it but realizing she'd left it in the living room. She continues forward, trying to be as quiet as possible.
All of her belongings are gone actually. No gun, no cole watch, no bitches either!
Thankfully, the carpet muffles her footsteps.
Harmonia is freaking the fuck out! She makes it to the door, trying to peek inside.
It is the world's loudest wooden double door.
She groans and opens the doors, extending her claws and walking inside, throwing stealth to the wind.
Her vision floods with a familiar bright red. A chuckle just as familiar fills her ears.
"๐๐ช๐ป๐ถ๐ธ๐ท๐ฒ๐ช. ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค.๏ผฒ๏ฝ ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฑ๐ณ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐."
The glow fades and the door slams shut behind her, burning away in red flames. It is now nothing but a stone wall.
The room smells faintly of blood, raw meat, and burning sulfur that's just the cherry on top of the assault on her sense of smell! There's also the strange scent of citrus. That's very out of place.
She's left standing in the middle of an incredibly familiar room. Well, familiar enough to make her want to vomit.
A large chamber with a ceiling incomprehensibly high.
The wall behind her and to her left and right quickly become drenched in the pitch-black darkness from before. In front of her, there is a large pit. Staring at her are two gigantic red eyes surrounded by many smaller ones. The darkness is grinning. She can tell it's grinning. She is being silently taunted despite having done nothing. It's like her very presence is offensive.
Set into the floor in the center of the room is a... pool?? Hot tub??? Full of a bubbling, glowing (or just illuminated) orange liquid. Is that. Is that fucking orange juice. What.
Harmoniaโs eyes widen. Sheโs frozen in fear, shaking. "N-no-" She steps back in panic, realizing the doors are gone. There's no escape now. All she feels is pure terror. "...Beezlebub."
"แดส แดกแดแดก.หวษฏษu สษฏ pวษนวqษฏวษฏวษน noโ โฝโโฆ โโโโโฏ โฏ"
"ๅฑฑใใฉใฅแช ใใใฉ ๅฐบๅใๅไนๅฐบ ๅฑฑไน ใๅาไน ไธจใ ไธใฅใๅฑฑ?"
"T-take what slow?" Harmonia is as far away from him as possible, shaking like a leaf.
As soon as her back touches the wall, chains burst from the stone and wrap around her. She is pinned to the wall. Beelzebub gives an utterly horrifying grin. It is unnaturally wide and from between his gnarled, serrated, broken teeth, his flesh glows red.
"๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐น๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ช๐ป๐ช๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท."
Harmonia screams, shaking and struggling, trying to get away. Terror fills her eyes. She was going to die here.
"๐๐ฑ, ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐, ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ช๐ต. ๏ผฎ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ผ

Harmonia struggles, spitting in his direction. "Fuck you. Enoch won't let you kill me-"
"๏ผฅ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ผโ๐๐ค ๐๐ ๐๐ช ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.ใใใฉ ไธๅๅใฅใฅ ๅฐบไนๅไนไธจแฏไน ใๅไน ไธๅ็ชไน ๅๅใไน ไธจ ใๅฐบไธจแถไธจๅ ๅใฅใฅใ แถๅแฏไน ใใ ๅไธจ็ช."
He claps his hands twice. The castle shakes.
Harmonia looks around in pure terror and panic. "What the hell does that mean-"
"โตโฑคษโตลโฃลำพลรโฆ ๐๐๐ แฐแฉแIแแฉTIOแ."
She's speechless. Filled with the horror of her situation. Someone would save her... right?
A door in the wall to her right flings open and a blindfolded boar walks into the room, dragging a sledgehammer behind him.
"For what reason have I been summoned, Prince Beelzebub?"
The boar is male. He is dressed in robes. The blindfold is bloodstained and streaks of blood as if it was what he cries rolls down his cheeks. 6', stocky and strong looking but still, you know... Somewhat fat. As Gluttony might imply.
Beelzebub's eyes shift their focus from an endless stare at Harmonia towards the boar.
"๐ฝ๐ ๐ฃ ๐ช๐ ๐ฆ๐ฃ ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ง๐๐๐๐ค. ๏ผท๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ผ ๏ผข๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ๏ฝ๏ผ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐."
The boar gives a snort and grins. "Got it." He sniffs the air and eventually looks at Harmonia.
Harmonia struggles harder. "Get the fuck away from me-" She growls, bearing her teeth as if to seem menacing.
The boar stomps over to Harmonia and leans riiiighhhtt in, whispering directly into her ear.
"Try not to show fear, meat. You're a prime cut to him. If you wish to deprive him of a good meal, contain yourself." His breath is uncomfortably warm. Very warm. He pulls away, sniffing the air as he "looks" her over. "...Mmm." He readies the hammer to strike the wall next to her.
Harmonia growls at him. "I'll fucking deprive him of whatever I want." She recoils at his breath, fear still evident in her trembling body and panicked eyes.
The boar strikes the wall and it pushes back, forming a stone cross standing like a pillar. Harmonia is tied to it by the chains still.
Harmonia flinches, her gut twisting, fear rising in her.
The sledgehammer is held firmly in one hand as the boar grabs Harmonia's right arm and begins to move it into position.
"What the hell are you doing-" Harmonia attempts to struggle.
The boar huffs and pulls harder. A new chain appears and ties Harmonia's right arm to its respective part of the cross. The boar reaches into his cloak and pulls out a large iron nail.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE-" Harmonia struggles, desperately trying to fight the boar but yโknow. chains.
"Orders are orders, meat." The nail is dug into her flesh slightly above her wrist, between the bones of her forearm. The boar hefts up the sledgehammer and prepares to strike.
Harmonia squeezes her eyes shut.
The nail is driven through her arm and into the stone. The bone of her forearm is shattered.
Harmonia screams in pain, her hand going limp as tears fill her eyes. She keeps screaming even after it's in, the pain unbearable.
The boar begins to move her left arm.
Sheโs limp, sobbing, and screaming in pain.
Chains bind her arm to its part of the cross. He prepares the nail.
"P-please no-" Harmonia begs, her voice quiet.
The nail is pushed into the same spot as on her right arm and, with a small delay...
Slam. Embedded into the stone. The bones break a bit more this time.
Harmonia screams more, tears rolling down her cheeks and blood down her arms. Her friends would come for her, right? They would save her? She tried to imagine it. Anything to get away.
Chains bind her legs tightly together, pulled against the stone.
The nails are pressed into her feet and... SLAM. SLAM. Both nails embedded in the stone. Most of her foot bones are broken. Yikes.
She is just. screaming and crying.
The chains disappear.
The boar looks to Beelzebub.
Beelzebub nods.
The boar pulls out a cleaver and turns back to Harmonia.
Harmonia looks at him wearily, red tears streaming down her cheeks.
The boar raises the cleaver.
Harmonia closes her eyes and silently prays for rescue.
She now has a giant gash on the right side of her torso.
She groans in pain, sobbing. She could barely breathe. She had to use her impaled foot to lift her enough to be able to breathe. She just sobs.
The boar drops the cleaver and picks the sledgehammer back up, preparing to strike the bottom of the cross.
Harmoniaโs just sobbing and whimpering, trying to breathe.
With the cracking of stone, the cross falls backward with a heavy slam. Harmonia is now flat on her back.
She gasps for air, taking it in and sobbing harder.
The sledgehammer is dropped and the cross begins to get pushed across the ground.
Harmonia whimpers. "They'll come for me- they- they won't let you kill me-"
The boar and Beelzebub remain silent. The cross is pushed closer to the pool in the center of the room.
Harmonia just sobs.
She is pushed into the pool. She surprisingly floats for some reason. The lukewarm yet bubbling orange juice seeps into her wounds.
Harmonia screams again in pain because fucking ow. She's just screaming and crying.
"You'll get numb eventually." The boar looks up to Beelzebub. Beelzebub nods. He grabs his tools and leaves.
Sheโs still screaming but eventually, it calms into sobbing. "Y-you won't get away w-with this-"
"๐ฎ๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. ๐'๐ต๐ต ๐ซ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ท๐ฎ."
"What the fuck does that even MEAN-โ

"WHAT THE FUCK IS A REBAR!โ
"แฅ ๊ซแฅ๊ชแฅ ." Beelzebub uses Harmonia's phone somehow despite the fact it is comically large in his hands and starts to review restaurants on yelp.
"What the fuck are you doing, IS THAT MY PHONE!?!?"
"หsวโ "
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY PHONE?!???!โ She's still sobbing.
"๐จ๐ฎ๐ต๐น ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ผ."
"Literally how the fuck.โ
He's yelping.
Harmoniaโs just crying
A new hours later, Harmonia is done crying is drinking some orange juice.
It tastes like her blood and orange juice.
Also, I should mention the pain has completely faded and now it's just uncomfortable and her wounds are leaking the soul gunk shit.
"What would you do if I drank all the fucking orange juice."
"โ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฃ ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐?"
"Oh, I didnโt think about that one.โ
