Post subject:  SATAN AND HIS DEMONS (Completed 11/7)

I think this story will fit best into St Clare's, however, mods please feel free to move if you think it is better somewhere else.
The football is currently on so I thought it would be a good time to start a new short story, hope you all enjoy I will try to complete by the end of the world cup.

:devil: SATAN AND HIS DEMONS :devil:

Rix Bettany enjoyed being Satan. He knew it annoyed his mother and his aunts but he just couldn’t help it. He smiled to himself as he walked by the Rhine in Basel, remembering how shocked his twin sister Peggy had been when she found out about his demonic inclinations.

“But Rix you can’t be Satan”, Peggy had implored tears glistening in her eyes. “I would know if you were. Whatever does mother and Auntie Jo think? You can’t be serious!”

But Rix was serious and in time had convinced Peggy of the truth. Peggy was the only one of his generation who knew of his secret identity, even his sister Bride and brother Jack had no idea that their brother was Satan.

Humming to himself Rix went along the Feldbergstrasse towards the hotel where the demons were waiting for their leader to join them. In the distance he thought he glimpsed some girls in bright gentian clothes and he laughed as he thought of the surprise the Chalet School girls would get when he and his demons visited the Gornetz Platz later that week.

Football what's football.
I've always wanted to know more about Rix and since Peggy is so "butter wouldn't melt in the mouth" angelic it would be great for Rix to be the opposite.

Inside the hotel the demons were sitting drinking shorts from the mini-bar.

“Good walk, Satan?” a small demon in tight denim jeans asked.

“Not bad Crocell”, Rix replied, when they were together they used their demonic names rather than their human alternatives. “Quite a group gathered outside”.

Rix walked to the window and looked out to the pavement outside of the hotel where a good number of people had congregated waving banners complaining about the presence of Satan in their city.

“We don’t seem very popular in Basel”, he said and laughed emptying a small bottle of schnapps in one mouthful. “Still we won’t be staying long. We go to the Gornetz Platz soon. I’m looking forward to that.”

Another demon, Furcas, who was lounging on the bed stroking his long beard sniggered. “I’m looking forward to making the acquaintance of all those school girls, especially if they are like your sister, Peggy.”

Despite Peggy’s initial misgivings once she had spent some time with Rix and his demon friends she had fully embraced their satanic rites.

“Sweet Peggy”, Malthus the last demon drawled. “I was hoping she would come with us to the Platz.”

“Nah”, Rix replied rubbing his stubbly chin. “Pegs is at home with Mum. She sends you her love though. One of my sisters, Maeve, and lots of my cousins are at the Platz. If you are good I’ll introduce you.”

“Hmmm”, Malthus said licking his lips. “Delectable young schoolgirls I’ll look forward to it.”

“Behave yourself”, Rix said. “Don’t speak like that in front of my Aunt Jo or we’ll be thrown off the Platz. She’s not too pleased about us coming but as we are family she put her own thoughts about me being Satan aside.”

Their conversations were interrupted by the hotel door opening and a large man in a florid checked jacket entering the room.

“Morax, what gives?” Crocell asked. “Any news on when we go?”

Morax whose human name, Max, was similar to his demon moniker looked at his boys as they lounged around the room and smiled their arrival in Basel had definitely stirred up the local populace.

“You have definitely made the news here”, he said and laughed. “Everything is arranged, you go up to the Platz tomorrow and they are expecting you the day after. How are you feeling about it?”

Rix smiled and drank another small bottle of Schnapps. “We’re all great Morax, we can’t wait to get the undivided attention of all those fresh young souls up there.”

Margot laughed as she sat under a tree with her bosom pal Emerence.

“Can you believe Emmy that Satan will soon be here? I’ve wanted to meet him for so long.”

“It’s Crocell I like!” Emmy exclaimed. “He sure is bonzer. I can’t believe that we will be seeing them soon. What are you going to wear to meet him? I thought I’d wear my black satin dress and lace blouse.”

Margot scowled. Emerence was the daughter of a millionaire who lavishly spent on his only child buying her all she wanted and her wardrobe was exceptional. Margot being a member of a long family of eleven did not have this benefit and her clothes were very sensible, built to last and invariably got passed down the family line.

“I don’t know. Mother wouldn’t buy me anything new, she said it was a load of rubbish so I suppose I will have to make do with what I have.”

Emerence looked appraisingly at her friend. “You could always borrow my sparkly black denim jacket if you like? I think it would fit you.”

“That would be smashing”, Margot replied beaming at her friend. “I could wear it with my black trousers and shirt.”

The two friends were interrupted by the arrival of a large girl with elaborately permed hair and another with long black plaits.

“Move over Emmy”, Margot instructed. “Make room for Joan and Ros. We were just discussing the arrival of Satan are you going to meet him?”

“Of course”, Joan replied. “I saw him once in Worthing, he is amazing. My sister even touched him once, or so she says. I’ve got my Mum to send me a new dress especially for the occasion but I’ve hidden it as I don’t think Matron would approve.”

Joan, Emmy and Margot laughed, Ros looked shocked.

“Oh come on Ros”, Margot cajoled. “You must be looking forward to meeting Satan.”

Ros shook her head.

“Too pi for anything”, Joan scoffed. “Honestly Ros don’t be such a baby. Satan is coming here, you must be excited about it.”

“No I am not”, Ros replied firmly. “I really don’t want to see Satan or any of his demons and can’t believe all the fuss that is being made about it.”

She stood up and moved away from the group who continued to talk and plan for the imminent arrival of Satan to the Gornetz Platz.

Ros and Len looked on in dismay as the girls of the Chalet School assembled outside.

“I really can’t believe all this fuss”, Len sighed. “I know Mamma isn’t too happy that Margot is going. I heard her talking to Pappa and she was very upset Satan was visiting.”

“Doesn’t Margot keep a picture of Satan by her bed?” Ros asked.

Len nodded. “She is always talking about the devil whispering over her shoulder. I never thought he would actually come to the Gornetz Platz!”

A group of girls rushed past them loudly discussing the merits of Malthus and Furcas.

“Quiet on the stairs”, a stentorian voice boomed from behind them. Ros and Len turned to see the towering figure of the head girl approaching.

“Oh, Mary-Lou”, Len gasped. “Can you believe all this fuss?”

Mary-Lou shook her curly hair and rearranged the red satin blouse she was wearing.

“Well, it isn’t every day Satan comes visiting is it? Aren’t you too ready yet?” She looked at their sensible clothes and shoes.

“We’re not going”, Ros replied primly. “I don’t want to see Satan. Len and I are going over to Freudesheim with Con.”

“Your loss”, Mary-Lou replied in an absent-minded fashion. “Personally I can’t wait to see him and his demons, being head girl must have some priviliges, I may even get to spend some time alone with them, I do hope so.”

Len and Ros stared in horror at the head girl that they both looked up to in more ways than the obvious.

“You can’t mean it”, Len said her voice shaky. “I never thought that you would like Satan.”

“Oh grow up, both of you”, Mary-Lou snapped. “Even Bill is looking forward to going and I heard that most of St Mildred’s will be joining us. Anyway it isn’t Satan I’m interested in, it is Malthus. Those horns and that pointy tail!”

With that a lascivious lick of her lips Mary-Lou rushed outside to join the throng of Chalet School girls who were waiting anxiously for the mini-buses to arrive to take them to see Satan.

“Honestly Rix, you being Satan has really upset your mother”, Jo scolded down the phone.

Rix Bettany lounged in the chauffered stretch-limousine and laughed.

“Oh, Auntie Jo. Mum is cool now. I know it took some getting used to but her and Dad accept it. Pegs is chuffed about it. She was hoping to come to the Platz with us, so was Furcas, he has a real soft spot for Peggy.”

“Sometimes I wonder how someone as angelic as Peggy could be your twin! You keep your demons to yourself, Peggy can do much better than that. There are some nice young doctors at the San who would be much more suitable than a demon.”

Rix laughed again and sipped some champagne from a crystal flute.

“I’ll make you a believer yet Auntie Jo. My demons are looking forward to meeting you and all the delectable young souls on the Platz.”

Jo muttered darkly to herself and Rix continued talking.

“Anyway we are well on our way to the Platz now and should be with you later tonight.”

“We’re ready for you Rix”, Jo sighed. “Once the girls know you are staying with us there will be mass excitement. Len and Con are here with one of their friends and were saying that the Chalet School has gone Satan crazy, even Mary-Lou is excited about seeing Malthus.”

“I remember Mary-Lou. Bossy girl with long plaits. I’ll keep an eye out for her.”

“Mary-Lou, bossy! You may as well tell me, I am bossy! She is a lovely girl and a credit to the school. You wouldn’t recognise her now Rix, she is tall and slim with a lovely head of curly hair and she is doing a wonderful job as Head Girl.”

“Hmmmm”, Rix replied, thinking that if she was Head Girl she was probably very bossy. “I’ll take your word for it Auntie Jo. Anyway must go now, my demons are getting impatient, all those young souls waiting for us. It is enough to try the patience of any demonic creature.”

He laughed as he hung up listening to the indignant spluttering from his Aunt Jo and sat back with his minions to enjoy the rest of the trip to the Platz.

Margot looked around at all the girls swarming by her, she was pleased to note that whilst she wasn’t wearing the most expensive stylish clothes, the denim jacket with the diamonté studs did set her apart from the others. She ran her hand through her reddy-gold curls and smiled at her boom companion, Emerence, who was hopping impatiently from foot to foot next to her.

“I can’t wait”, Emerence moaned. “When will Satan get here.”

“It shouldn’t be long now, Emmy. I know what you mean though, I am so excited. Look”, Margot pointed across the crowds, “there’s Mary-Lou and the prees. Trust Mary-Lou to be right at the front. Come on let’s go and stand nearer them.”

Margot and Emerence pushed their way through the throng and positioned themselves near the group of prefects.

“Honestly Verity. Stop mooning around”, the clarion tones of the Head Girl could be heard above the general noise. “If you can’t see well enough from there come and stand next to me. Budge up Vi and let Verity through.”

“Miss Ferrars. Come and stand with us”, Mary-Lou called out spotting the diminuitive figure of the young teacher.

Miss Ferrars smiled and waved. “Thank you, Mary Lou, but you girls stay at the front. I’ll stand back here with Miss Wilson and Miss Dene.”

“Isn’t it good to see the girls so enthusiastic?” Kathy Ferrars smiled at Rosalie Dene. “I can understand why they are so excited though, I have wanted to see Satan for so long. I am surprised that you are so keen, though, Rosalie. After all you are a canon’s daughter!”

Rosalie Dene laughed. “I daresay Daddy would not approve. He even lead his parishioners on a march through Exeter when Satan visited there, but, he doesn’t know that I sleep with a picture of him under my pillow.”

“You don’t!” Nell Wilson exclaimed. “Honestly Rosalie, I wouldn’t have been surprised at Francie Wilford or Heather Clayton doing that but you, well really.”

Rosalie Dene blushed a healthy shade of scarlet. “Oh Nell, please don’t tell anyone else, especially Joey I couldn’t bear it.”

“Your secret is safe with us”, Kathy smiled at her friend. “Jo is a bit straight-laced about it, isn’t she?”

Nell Wilson snorted. “Typical for people who change their religions. No tolerance for anything different. I for one welcome Satan here. Hilda wasn’t too sure when he contacted her but I persuaded her it was an opportunity to good to miss.”

“It does seem strange that he wanted to come to the Gornetz Platz”, Rosalie mused. “I mean we are quite small, I’d have thought he would have gone to the big cities like Basel or Zurich.”

“I think it was something about the school. He wanted the chance to meet all the delectable young souls we have up here. Now hush, I think the time is almost here.”

With these words an unnatural silence descended on the Gornetz Platz. The birds stopped singing, the rabbits ran and hid in their burrows, even the sky seemed to be getting darker. Everyone gasped and stared ahead waiting for their first sight of Satan.

There was a loud clang, as the sound of a bell rang out into the silence of a clear Swiss night.

“The bells of hell”, Margot squeaked, “Oh goody!”

A lot of the girls cheered loudly and looked around anxiously for their first sight of Satan.

Suddenly the night sky was lit by a series of bright floodlights and the girls momentarily shielded their eyes from the glare. When they opened their eyes standing before them revealed in all their diabolical glory were Satan and his demons.

Emerence jumped up and down shouting, “Satan, Satan”. Mary-Lou and the prefects cheered and whistled loudly.

The bell rang out again and amidst much screaming Satan stepped forwards.

He was a glorious sight to behold, tall with a mane of long glossy hair from which two horns protruded. He was shirtless and wore tight leather jeans and studded biker boots.

“Welcome my acolytes”, his voice without the aid of a microphone projected to all corners of the Gornetz Platz. “My brethren and I are so pleased to see so many of you here tonight. We have never had so many delectable young souls in one place. We are going to take you on a trip tonight you won’t forget, through the many circles of hell. Let me introduce you to the Bells of Hell.”

“I love this one!” Margot screamed with excitement as the sound of the bell tolling filled the night. Suddenly the bell was accompanied by fierce drumming and the repetitive strumming of a bass guitar as Satan started singing the lyrics of the global number one hit from their latest album.

“They’re even better live than on their records”, Kathy Ferrars shouted into the ear of Nell Wilson. “I’m so glad they decided to give a concert here on the Gornetz Platz, what a marvellous treat for the girls of the Chalet School.”

Post subject:  Re: SATAN AND HIS DEMONS (Update 4/7)

The girls danced frantically, weaving and gyrating to the mindless thrum of the Crocell’s bass guitar. Malthus, playing lead guitar, wiggled his behind sending his pointy tail into frenzied motion causing the Head Girl almost too faint.

“They are amazing”, Margot shouted to Emerence. “Satan is gorgeous, isn’t he?”

As she uttered these words Satan stooped down and looked directly at her. His piercing demonic eyes locked with her and she heard his voice in her head whisper, “thank you, my Margot. I have been looking after you for so long, my little acolyte, it pleases me to see you here tonight.”

Margot gasped and overcome with emotion promptly fainted. Emerence tried to catch her friend but being a slight girl couldn’t hold the weight. It was left to Miss Wilson to push her way through and muttering darkly about silly girls lifted Margot in a fireman’s lift and carried her through the crowd. With a reluctant glance back at the stage, Emerence trailed after the teacher and her best friend.

Mary-Lou and the prefects who were completely unaware of the drama occurring to the left of them continued to dance wildly to the strains of the “Bells of Hell”. As the track ended Satan held up his hand for silence and an immediate hush fell across the Gornetz Platz.

“My demons and I”, he started speaking, “are overwhelmed by your rapturous welcome. I have heard tell of one girl in particular who wishes to meet me.”

He bent down from the stage and holding his hand out pulled the Head Girl onto the stage. Mary-Lou was a tall, well built girl but Satan lifted her easily onto the stage where she stood overwhelmed and unable, for once, to say anything.

“My Mary-Lou. You have served me so well and now you deserve your reward.”

Standing a good eight inches taller than her he bent down and kissed her on the lips. It was a long, hot, sulphurous kiss and Mary-Lou collapsed to her knees at the end. The girls started cheering and Satan smiled, “Now we will perform our new hit, “Hell is hot, baby”. I want to see you all dance and sing. Mary-Lou”, he turned to the girl and helped her stand, “dance for us.”

The demons started playing and Mary-Lou slowly began to dance. She felt rather dazed, the personal attention Satan had given her was more than she could have dreamed of. She could still feel his kiss on her lips and the smell of sulphur in her nose. As she twirled and danced she felt hotter and hotter. She started by removing her jacket, then her red satin blouse, her black pencil skirt followed and finally her underwear so she was dancing naked on stage in front of the whole Gornetz Platz.

Verity tried to call out to her but her silvery voice could not be heard over the sound of the band.

Still Mary-Lou was hot, her lips were burning from Satan’s kiss, her mouth was dry and she felt that her skin was on fire. She fell to her knees, panting and gasping. Satan kept singing and as he approached her she could feel the waves of heat emanating from him. She moaned and tried to move away but found that her legs would not obey her brain and she couldn’t move.

Satan singing, “I’m burning for your love, baby,” reached out and touched her hair. A bolt of fire shot from his hand and ignited the hair of the Head Girl.

Verity screamed but most of the girls thought this was part of the show and cheered loudly.

Satan laughed, his demonic eyes glittering yellow in the night, and moving to the front of the stage belted out the words, “Hell is hot, baby” and pointed. Where he pointed a shaft of fire flew from his finger and ignited whatever was in its path. Soon the Gornetz Platz was alight and the crackle of the flames mixed with the screaming of those unable to get away.

“Honestly Jo,” Miss Wilson scolded carrying the inert form of Margot into Freudesheim. “I might have expected you to faint, but I thought Margot was made of sterner stuff!”

Miss Wilson explained about the concert and how Margot had been overcome with excitement during the first song and fainted.

“I was enjoying the show,” she sighed, “and poor Emerence is missing it as well.”

Emerence sat by her friend and gratefully accepted a glass of Anna’s home made lemonade to drink.

In the hall the phone sounded. In a few minutes Jack Maynard burst into the room.

“Got to go,” he gasped, “there has been some accident at the concert, a fire, many casualties.”

Jo promptly fainted and Jack left her under the care of Miss Wilson whilst he grabbed his doctor’s bag and went to tend to the wounded.

Slowly Jo revived and gratefully accepted a small glass of brandy from Miss Wilson. The door to the salon opened and faithful Anna came in.

“There is a phone call for you, Madame.”

“Jack”, Jo gasped and ran out to the hall.

“Jack, how is it? What is happening?”

“Auntie Jo”, the puzzled voice replied. “I’m not Uncle Jack. Are you OK?”

It took a few moments for Jo to recognise the voice.

“Rix?” she asked. “Is that you, are you alright? Jack has gone over to the concert, I hope you are not hurt.”

“What do you mean, Auntie, Uncle has gone to the concert?” Rix sounded puzzled.

“When we heard about the fire there, of course, Jack went straight away to deal with the casualties.”

“But Auntie, there hasn’t been a concert”, Rix replied. “I was phoning to tell you that we had a car accident on the way to the Platz. We’re all OK, except Furcas has broken his leg, but we didn’t get to the concert. I hope the girls weren’t too disappointed.”

Len and Ros rushed into the hall.

“Mamma”, Len cried, “there is a big fire in the Platz. Is someone lighting a bonfire at the concert?”

“It is very big”, Ros agreed. “You should see all the smoke. I thought it looked like a man’s head.”

“No it didn’t”, Len interrupted, “A man’s head doesn’t have horns, does it? Mummy are you alright?”

Jo dropped the phone and opening her front door stared across the Platz where she could see the billowing smoke. As Ros said it did look like a head, and Len was right there did appear to be horns coming from it……..
