DO NOT OWN! Hope you all enjoy :)
A Witch's Familiar
Chapter 1
Silently, Lucifer cursed her, but at the same time, wished for her to be there to comfort and hold him, to make sure that he wasn't harmed, to do a lot of things really. Lucifer didn't realize how much his sister had done for him until she whisked him away, preventing them from grabbing a hold of him.
His thoughts darkened considerably at this. Whoever they were, they were there to harm both him and his sister.
He laid his head down, his ponytail wet with dew. He wanted his sister, and he wanted her now. Lucifer remembered what she said, but he didn't know how he would find this school that would accept him. He doubted that they would accept him anyways; even for a mutant, he was a bit strange. Wings and skin made of rock hard stone but was soft to the touch, claws that made it difficult to dress himself, and gold cat-like eyes.
The young man thought back to the irony of his name and his appearance, then scoffed, immediately dismissing all of those notions. His sister was a witch of sorts; he didn't need to believe in what the other children thought of him.
"Hey, kid, you okay?" Lucifer moved his wings out of the way to see if the person was talking to him. He looked down both ways of the alleyway and did confirm that, yes, he was the only one in the alleyway. Well, besides the man in front of him. He was bulky with muscles in this ridiculous looking yellow and blue suit. His eyes seemed to be white, but Lucifer guessed that it was also a part of the mask that he was wearing. "Hey, you hear me?"
Lucifer stood up and shivered at the cold. "Yeah, I hear you." He muttered. "And no, I'm not okay." Well, at least he told the truth. His sister would be proud of him. He grew sad at the thought of her again. She was going to be invading a lot of his thoughts, wasn't she?
The mystery man frowned and seemed to observe him, almost as if seeing if Lucifer was a threat or not. "Come on kid," he said, turning around. "It's not safe around here." Lucifer nodded and started following the man, thinking that this was his only chance of going anywhere near that institute.
"Did you find him?" A dark-skinned woman with white hair landed in front of the two males, but then seemed to retract her words as her eyes landed on Lucifer. "Ah, you did. Well, follow us please, and we'll get you somewhere safer."
The jet that they arrived at was black and sleek. Lucifer looked at it, wondering if it was some kind of demon out to eat him or something. From where he was from, he didn't see much of things like this. Scratch that; nothing like it.
"I am SO glad we didn't have to fight anyone!" A bouncy girl with brown hair and bright colored eyes was talking to another boy that was... strange looking. He was blue all over from his point of view, and had a spaded tail that swung this way and that. Lucifer thought that he was better off than him at the moment; at least he wasn't much of a demon that Lucifer was rumored as.
"Kitty, calm down!" Lucifer was now very interested in this blue boy. He was German! Lucifer hadn't met many people that were German. "I am sure that ve vill have to fight somevone! Just please, do not jinx us!"
"Don't worry, sugar, we will probably fight someone." The girl was about Lucifer's height with brown hair and a bright white streak waving through her hair. The boy standing next to her was a bit taller with brown hair swept up in what seemed like spikes with bright blue eyes. He seemed to pout before saying, "well, I was looking forward to fighting someone!"
"Everyone calm down." The dark skinned woman seemed to cut in. All heads, including a man with some red eyewear and a man that was a lighter shade of blue than the younger man, seemed to snap towards the newcomers. Lucifer ignored the people in favor of gazing around at the jet, wondering what all the lights and buttons were for. "This is..." Lucifer turned and looked in the warm brown eyes of the darker woman.
He hesitated. Telling his name was a great taboo, considering how the entire town took it when his mother named him Lucifer. He finally sighed and said, "Lucifer." Everyone froze in shock. He bowed, as his sister had taught him to do, and further said, "it is very nice to meet you." Be cordial, she seemed to whisper, and everything will be alright.
"Lucifer? As in, the devil?!" The blue one asked, finally climbing out of his seat to meet the new boy. Lucifer was actually shocked to see Angelic runes carved into his body. The boy was extremely blue; even his hair was blue! Lucifer was also glad to see a similarity between the two of them; they both had bright yellow eyes.
"My mother wanted to name me for something grand that would capture attention." He shrugged. "I'm pretty convinced that she herself was from a different time." Which was more true than he would ever tell the others. "And you would be?"
"Ah, sorry vur my rudeness." He smiled, but seemed to stay wary of Lucifer. "I am Kurt Vagner, also known as Nightcrawler. This is Kitty, or Shadowcat." The happy brown-haired girl waved. "Bobby, Iceman." The tall boy gave a nod. "Und Rogue." She smiled and nodded also. "The people at the vheel are Cyclops und Beast." They also waved respectively.
"I am Ororo, but you can call me Storm." Lucifer turned and nodded. "And this is Wolverine, aka Logan." I eyed him, but decided that he was more alpha than me, so I just smiled politely. Besides, he looks scary as shit.
He looked around at all of the people. Most of them were wary because of his name, but Lucifer didn't really care about that. He only cared about how his sister was doing and hoping that she was going to find him soon.
"Where's the demon?" His voice was hard and not up for patience. In her opinion, he really needed to get laid, but that was her modern self talking. The young woman only stayed silent, that serene smile on her face. If it wasn't for the blood dripping off of her and her hanging by the shackles on her wrist, one would've thought that she was a happy, bright woman.
Another crack of the whip. She flinched from the pain, but still made no sound.
"I asked you a question! Answer me!"
This sequence was repeated two or three more times before the man finally gave up, throwing the whip aside in disgust.
He and his goonies walked out, the automatic door sliding shut behind them.
She looked up at the cameras, still not saying a word.
It had been so long since she had seen Lucifer's face, oh so many years since she had sent him forward through time courtesy of their mother's help. Of course, she froze herself in a type of coma just so she could see him again. Was that selfish? She supposed it was, but didn't care.
By now, she thought, he would have been found by the X-Men, the group that their mother kept talking about when they were younger and she was still alive. He would be safe.
She took a deep breath and relaxed. She only had to hang on for a couple of weeks, then she could call upon him.
Then again, the man coming back in through the door could change those plans yet again.
Well then... This is going to be an interesting one 0.o I really hope you all don't hate me for putting up, once again, ANOTHER STORY! However, this one has been toying with me for a bit.
Yes, the man is an important character. Yes, the main boy's name is Lucifer; get over it. And yes, the girl is a witch courtesy of their mother... A lot will be explained throughout the story if I do this well enough :3
Please tell me what you think!
