CHAPTER 1: THE BEGINNING

After a hard day's work teaching people lessons, God walked down the halls of his home with sweat falling down his brow. His home was a light, Victorian carrying beautiful religious looms. He knocked on his son's bedroom door, "Hey JC?" No answer. "JC?" He said once more, again no answer, he put his ear to the door hearing whispers. "JC!" God yelled, bursting into his son's room. He was shocked, his most faithful angel, Lucifer, was only half-clothed along with his son. "What- what is this?" He said from the surprise. "Father I can explain-" "No!" God exclaimed. "You!" He said pointing his mighty finger at Lucifer, "You will be in my office in five minutes. Fully clothed." "Yes sir," Lucifer said scurrying out the door leaving his shirt in Jesus' room. "Father-" "No." Silence fell over the room, God's eyes remained closed with shame, guilt built up inside of Jesus. "I would've never expected this from you," God said. "Father, I-" "Silence! You will never see him again." "But father-" "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!" God yelled, walking out of Jesus' room slamming the door. Jesus started to cry from guilt and sadness. God stomped down the stairs with force walking into his office to meet Lucifer. "Hello Lucifer." He said. "Hello, sir." "How long has this been going on?" "2 years," Lucifer said shyly. "You dare see my son without my knowing?" "I apologize sir." "Did you disrespect each other before marriage too?!" "... uh- y-yes sir. Please forgive me." Forgive was nothing close to what God wanted to do... What God was going to do." "You are forbidden to see my son again." "No," Lucifer stated. God froze, "No?" "No. I'm your right-hand man. I'm probably as powerful as you, if not more, and I promise you, I love JC there is nothing in this world that could stop me from loving him. There is no way you can separate us our love is eternal!" JC had been outside the door, he started crying from his lover's bravery. "Then I invite you to watch as you're separated and your "eternal love" will die before your very own sinful eyes," God called upon his powers, the skies grew dark and lightning cracked. "You are not Lucifer, he would never do this, never betray me! No. You are Satan, and that is the name you shall bear!" Satan started rising up, JC heard his father and opened the door, "No! Father Stop!" He begged. "No JC! This is for your own good! Now... you sinful spawn. Heavenly feathers are of the past, now you shall bear wings of a bat, creature of the night!" His angel wings shriveled and in its place were leathery wings. "What are you doing t him?!" Jesus shrieked, crying even more tears. God only continued, "Horns of evil from your head to stab people in the back, as you did to me! Lips that can lie, like the poison you've spread to my son! A tail that is pointed, since your conscience knows no direction, and clothed no more since you find it fit to appear this way in front of my son!" The lightning stopped, the whole place dark, it was mostly silent. The only noise to be heard was crying. The lights slowly returned. Satan looked into a mirror. "I-I'm hideous." He stated, a single tear running down his cheek. "Is this his punishment? Father?" Jesus sniffled. "No," God replied, "this is only the beginning."
