Chapter 1: Unexpected Reunion

When you're missing a piece of yourself, an aching, gut wrenching emptiness always takes over and until you find the link that completes your very soul, that awful feeling will never go away.

Most people would find a way to fill the void by a string of relationships, affairs, food and so on. But Lyrianna wasn't 'most people'. Their pain would never compare to her own.

Many years had passed since the angel had been cast out of heaven, her grace taken, her heart and spirit torn away from the betrayal of her own kind.

Nevertheless, she had adjusted well to the life that had been forced upon her. She'd found herself a home in a tiny cottage on the borders of Detroit.

Long dark hair contrasted with her almost white skin as she admired the flames, curling and swaying, flicking this way and that, crackling as they burnt the dry wood; their constant dancing calming her nerves. She had trudged through the snow for what seemed like hours, coming home from her little pie restaurant, if you could even call it that, and now she basked in the warmth of her cozy living room.

Bitter cold existed behind the closed doors. To her, it was like two sides on a coin: the first being wet, miserable weather, where only snow falling in a dizzying speed existed; And inside, where she instantly felt as if she had stepped in a warm bath, where she only had to peer out of the window to see the world covered in blanket of white.

Despite being warm and cozy, as the fire cast long shadows over the rug, this was Lyrianna's least favourite time of day. She was alone with her thoughts but no matter how hard she tried to block them out, she just couldn't fight them.

His face haunted her every night whether she was asleep or not. Lucifer's face. But she knew that he wasn't really there. If he was she'd have felt the cold sweep over her.

It wasn't the same type of chilly feeling you'd feel in winter as a gust of wind brushed passed you, but more like the random shivers in the heat of summer, that causes your skin to crawl. (If you've felt it before than I'm sure you know what I'm talking about).

Lyrianna, or Lily as she goes by these days, hadn't had that feeling for a while. For that she was grateful. She knew that Lucifer had been cast out too, hell, she was cast out the same day, just not the same way. He was the one that pushed her out of heaven. Why, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

After a while of staring at the fire, Lily's eyes started to flutter close as her mind wandered to the obscure thoughts and worries that became present when nothing else is there to hold her attention.

The next morning, her phone began to vibrate, causing her eyes take in every ray of sunlight as she opened them. "Shit." She groaned. Like I said before, she'd adjusted well to the human world.

As she answered the little green button on her phone, she barely had to look at the time to know that she had slept too long. In this case, she was fortunate, for her best friend and herself were the only people working in that little pie restaurant, so she was unlikely to get fired. "Hey, Anna! I'm on my wa- No! Of course I didn't 'just wake up'… I'll be there soon, I promise! I Bye!"

About half an hour later, Lily found herself surrounded by customers ordering a variety of different pies, despite the small size of the place, it was practically full most of the day. The evening fell and Anna was about to say goodbye. "Are you gonna be alright here by yourself? This is the fourth time you've come in late this week."

Lyrianna shrugged. "I guess I just overslept… Again." She added as an afterthought.

"Lily, I've known you for two years and you are never late… Are you sure you're okay? I won't leave you like this by yourself." Anna had always been one to worry, but this time, Lily had no other explanation, for even she didn't have the slightest idea as to why this kept happening.

She nodded, giving her friend a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine. I can handle the customers by myself for a week, don't worry about it."

Before Anna could reply, two men entered the restaurant. One had shaggy brown hair and hazel eyes that appeared to be a mixture of blue, green, and brown. He was slightly taller than the other one, but somehow looked younger.

The other man had green eyes, light freckles on his face and dark blond, short-cropped Ivy-league hair. He was rather good looking, in her opinion anyway.

Anna smirked slightly and nudged her. "Go get 'em tiger. I've got my flight to catch." With that said, she left, leaving Lyrianna to take their orders.

She knew exactly what Anna meant, having lived on earth longer than most living people, she'd defiantly picked up one or two things.

"What can I get you?" She asked, smiling politely at the two men.

"Two apple pies please." The handsome one gave her a small wink.

But Lily could tell something about them was different, and she was determined to find out what it was.

The perks of being an angel, fallen or not, she could still hear them from a distance, so she merely went back behind the counter, fetching their orders.

Unfortunately, she missed the beginning of their conversation, but the moment she heard what they were talking about, she shuddered. "First I'm gonna find that handsome devil and kick the holy crap out of him."

She silently prayed that they weren't being literal. "Dean,-."

Then something happened, something she never thought would ever happen anywhere near her again. The sound of a flutter of wings. "An angel...?" Lily wondered, her eyes wide.

He spotted her right away, as she chose that moment to bring the two apple pies the men had asked her for.

He was wearing a black suit, a buttoned white-striped dress shirt, and loosened blue tie accentuated by a beige trench coat. "You're an angel." He stated bluntly. "You're-."

She recognized him. And she could see by the look on his face, that he recognized her as well. "C-Castiel?" Her heart pounded with joy as he embraced her. They stood there for a moment and stared into each other's eyes as if in a trance.

"Can it really be you? Lyrianna?" He asked after a second, barely believing his own eyes.

She beamed. "I never thought I'd see you again… Or any angel for that matter. I thought I lost everything when…" She trailed off, her memories returning to that dark day once again.

Of course he noticed and wrapped his arms around her again, trying to comfort her. "I know." He whispered. "That was a hard day for all of us. We looked for you... But-"

"He carved enochian sigils on my ribs… So that no other angel would ever be able to find me." She explained. "He wanted me hidden, so that when he got free he could get me back."

Castiel frowned. "But if you're hidden from all angels… That includes him as well. Unless…"

"Demons." Lyrianna breathed. "He'll get them to find me when or if he escapes hell."

There was a cough from beside them, where the two men sat, staring at the two angels with awkward expressions. "Uh…Cas? Care to explain what the hell is going on?"

"Oh…" Castiel frowned. "Lyrianna, this is Sam and Dean. The Winchesters."

Like most angels, Lily knew of their destiny as the 'Michael sword' and 'Lucifer's vessel' and the very thought of that worried her.

"Hi. Just call me Lily, okay?" She smiled shyly. "What brings you here, anyway? Detroit, I mean?" Then the realization hit her. "Please don't tell me he's…" She glanced pleadingly at Castiel.

Sam grimaced as though the world was on his shoulders but didn't say a word, Dean sighed, and in the end, it was still Castiel who answered. "I'm so sorry, Lyrianna… but he's back. Lucifer's back."

At the mention of the devil's name, a strange feeling developed in the pit of her stomach. She felt the muscles of her heart tighten with an incredible force, sending gushes of blood down her veins in a single movement. "No." She whispered. "No. No. He can't be back!"

Sam and Dean stared at her with baffled looks. Of course, it was perfectly normal to be afraid of Satan walking the earth but they could tell she had a secret, and they anticipated to find out just what it was.

"I take it you know him, then?" Dean asked, stating the obvious.

Cas replied before Lily even had the chance to open her mouth. "She and Lucifer have history. He's the one who hid her from heaven." That was all he said, and for that Lily was grateful.

But for the Winchesters, it wasn't enough. "What history?"

After a moment of hesitation, she decided there wasn't much point in hiding the truth from them. "He threw me out of heaven." She whimpered.

Their eyes widened in surprise. "Why?"

"I was hand chosen by him one day to become his 'companion', in a way. But then I started to learn more about him, his motives for mankind, God's newest creation at the time, I guess… I didn't agree with him, and he got livid. That's all you need to know now. If he finds me, I'm sure you'll find out more." She stated.

It's been a while since I wrote a Lucifer/OC fic. This story will get very dark. Lucifer will show up soon enough and when he does I can tell you that it won't be pretty. So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Please review and let me know what you think! :3
