Morningstar Of Sin

Chapter 21 - President Matthew Ellis

I set him on a chair in the office with his name on it and wait for him to wake up. Only a few minutes pass and he wakes up holding his head.

"F.u.c.k, my head hurts." He looks up at me "So it wasn't a dream… Great, I'm not insane."

I chuckle "I expect the research paper to be out by Friday. If you have trouble with the military contract then tell me. I'll force it to end. The information is already in your head, you just have to think about it for a second or two."

He nods and euphoria appears on his face "This is incredible I've never even though of such formula's in my life… this will revolutionize the entire field of chemistry."

I smile, "I'm glad you're happy." I wave my hand over the desk and five thick stacks of 100 dollar bills appear with a wisp of flames. "This is your starting bonus, 50,000. You'll get your first months' worth of pay the day you publish the paper."

He nods as he stares at the money in a daze. "This is more money than I have in my bank account."

I'm a bit surprised "You're a famous researcher who is contracted by the government, how are you poor?"

He has a wry smile. "General Ross didn't give me a great deal for this contract. I just took it because I was interested in the material of the research."

"Well once you are our lead researcher you can study anything you want we don't need specifics. You are just the face for our companies research team." As I'm about to leave Betty walks in.

"I talked to my dad. He said you can terminate the contract early if you succeed in the project." She looks at the money on the table and her eyes light up. "Is that your first month's pay?"

I chuckle "No it's his starting bonus. He won't get his first month until he publishes the creation."

She rushes up to Banner and hugs him "Looks like we'll have enough for the wedding sooner than expected."

Banner stands up and hugs her back "Mister Creed is also letting us use his building for our wedding. He says the roof recently had lilacs planted."

I nod and speak to Banner "And they will be blooming in a month or two so you may wanna propose soon." Banner blushes as I turn around and walk out. As I walk past the guards out the door their bodies relieve and I vanish before they can say anything.

Once I appear again I am inside the oval office and I slow time around only the president and me. The Speaker and a General are nearly frozen as the President notices my presence and begins to freak out.

He yells "Help! Intruder!" He looks at the general and speaker noticing they are frozen.

I grow to nearly eight feet tall as my horns grow, crown sets aflame and wings sprout from my back. "I would suggest you don't try and run you racist little Gnome."

He backs away "Get away from me you freak!"

"You really shouldn't speak to me that way. I could turn you into meat paste and no one would be the wiser." I give an evil grin.

He spits at the floor in front of me "I've put so many of your kind in jail, what makes you any different?"

I begin to laugh hysterically "MY KIND?! AHAHAH! Do you think I'm a mutant? You f.u.c.k.i.n.g racist Gnome!" I appear in front of him gripping him by the neck raising him into the air.

He looks down at me with hate as my grin becomes wider. "I am the Devil you little prick. THE! DEVIL! I will give you one opportunity to redeem yourself. Fall into line and submit to me or be replaced and the next shall serve me."

"Why would I ever do that." He says through grit teeth.

I raise an eyebrow "Because… I would hate for your cute little daughter to become an orphan before she can graduate kindergarten."

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!" He yells nearly choking from my grip.

I roll my eyes "I would never harm an innocent like her. But you? Your wife? HAH. Do you think I don't know how you got where you are today? The number of lives you have ruined. You are already lucky I don't outright send you to Yama to be reborn as a f.u.c.k.i.n.g worm like you deserve."

Gripping my arm as hard as he can he speaks through grit teeth. "What is it that you want?"

I drop him and speak with pride. "Sit." I hold out my hand and another contract appears on the desk in front of him.

He puts on his reading glasses as he looks over the contract. "You want me to serve you for the rest of my life and you're only offering lesser sentencing in Hell?"

I roll my eyes "Greedy as ever I see. I refuse to make the deal any better for you… but I can, however, do this." I wave my hand over the contract and the words re-arrange.

He stares at the words for a solid few minutes before he speaks "You sure know how to hit where it hurts… I accept…"

I nod "Your daughter must be important to you."

He picks up a pen to sign but he looks at me first his eyes full of emotion. "More than you would ever know."

I smile "I hope that changes in the future."

He looks confused but signs the contract anyway. He puts the pen down as the contract bursts into flames.

He looks up at me with balled fists. "When will her body recover? How well will she be? Will she be able to interact with others like a normal kid?"

I look at him calmly "She will faint wherever she is right now and awaken in a short while. When she wakes up her body will be as strong as a perfectly normal human of her age. She will never get sick or get out of shape."

He nods "What do you want me to do?"

I smile "Not much for now, I'll be introducing a cure for addiction and overdosing on my drugs. I want you to make sure the drugs make it through the FDA with no problem."

He nods again "That shouldn't be hard. I have a few ties there."

"...Also…" I look at the general. "Put him the death… I would do it but his disappearance would make a big stir."

President Ellis looks shocked "What? Why?"

My eyes go cold as I look at the nearly frozen general. "He has r.a.p.ed hundreds of women under the pretense of 'Torture to extract government secrets'. He's done it to his subordinates and enemies alike... a true sc.u.m."

The president looks disgusted as he looks at the general now. "I'll have him investigated and put on trial. Even if the trial fails I'll have him… removed."

"Good. Contact me here if you need anything." I throw a business card at him as I vanish from the oval office.

(A/N: His daughter was born REALLY prem.a.t.u.r.e giving her a weak body and immune system so she has been forced to live an extremely sheltered life.)
