So this just wrote itself when i lay in bed asleep last night. I'm finishing up the second chapter but i figured i'd put this up first. The title came from a song i'm listening to right now from the show The Originals. It's called Sacrilege (obviously).
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural, duh.
Warnings: Samifer if you squint but could be Gen if you want, no biggie.
Lucifer was in the cage, and if he really thought about it, he could add "like always" to that. He was alone for now. Michael was somewhere else, muttering to himself and wandering aimlessly, liked he'd done practically the entire time since he'd entered the cage, praying to God for release and redemption no doubt. It was just Michael and Lucifer in the cage now anyways. Michael's vessel, Adam Sam's suppressed memories whispered, never truly entered the cage, his soul was safe in heaven, burnt out when Michael took his body. And Sam. Sam. His vessel. The Vessel. Was gone. Had left him.
It was just his body at first, his vessel, being stolen away practically the moment it arrived, leaving just the soul behind. But the Cage wasn't created to hold humans, especially their souls. It was created to hold an Archangel, a being much more durable then the flimsy nature of a human soul. And Lucifer had to watch. Had to watch is vessel torture himself with his own imagination made real by the Cage. It was Lucifer's own torture too, to watch his vessel, the one thing made just for him by his father, slowly delve into madness. The worst torture was when Lucifer could tell Sam was imagining him as the torturer. He was revealed when Death finally came and took Sam's soul away, even if Lucifer was alone once again.
But still, hadn't he promised he'd never hurt his vessel? Never lie to him either? Did Sam not remember the Devil's truthful promises?
He felt it then, a long while since Sam had been stolen away for good, a feeling like a stab through the heart which was in no way physical. He couldn't feel Sam. Couldn't feel the connection that was always between them.
Lucifer roared, his grace bursting out of him, searching, searching for Sam, for the person made for him; all the while mentally screaming "No No Don't take him away from me! No!" The place in Lucifer's chest felt so hollow now without the warmth he always felt echoed through his connection with his vessel. He felt so very truly alone now.
Sam's soul had always been so bright, even brighter than the righteous man's; a soul fit to be connected to Lucifer, the Morningstar. And Lucifer had always loved that soul which was made for him, even as it had dimmed through the torture of the Cage. But Sam's soul was dim now, even more so than before, and small as Lucifer's grace found it and as Lucifer pulled it to him gently, cradling the small light in his palms, holding it close to his chest as if he could re-establish the connection just through contact.
Sam's soul was dying. Fading. Something had damaged it so much that even Lucifer's grace, perfectly compatible with the soul, couldn't repair the damage. The only thing which could save Sam was to reunite the soul with his vessel.
But Lucifer couldn't leave the Cage, couldn't save the one being who was the exception to his hatred. The only gift his father ever truly gave him. For the first time since Lucifer's creation, he felt powerless, helpless. He didn't know what to do. He had to save Sam!
Lucifer barely felt his form fall to his knees, still cradling the dying soul, his head turned upward. And he did something he hadn't done in a millennia, hadn't done since he was cast out. He prayed.
Please save him father! Please! Do not take him from me. I would do anything, even give up my revenge! Just save him! Save him for me!
Then he gave one last scream, putting all his fear for the small soul held in his embrace and power behind it, so that his Father would hear, no matter how far.
Father I repent! Just save him!
So yeah, one more on it's way so don't flip. If you haven't figured it out yet, the title is due to Gadreel/Ezekiel desecrating something Lucifer holds sacred (Sam).
Here's the song i'm listening to now, check it out: watch?v=ESYiNmPQpQ0
