Chapter 1

Lucifer Rising

With the final seal broken Lucifer released his energy from the small cage he had been in. He stretched his wings, arms, and legs and shot from the cage faster than light leaving what looked like a pillar of light as he disappeared into the night sky. His entire body sang with joy, the darkness forgotten as the cool air ran over his wings and through his hair. When he looked at his wing they had seemed to gain a new life of their own and were full and beautiful in the moon light. Quickly feeling the fatigue from not having used them in so long Lucifer landed on a mountain top and looked at his surroundings.

He could see little lights down below thousands of them like little stars. He could see that some of the buildings were as tall as some mountains and others as small as he remembered. So this is what the humans have done with the world.

Lucifer dropped to the world below hiding in a small alcove of trees peering out at the town before him. He closed his eyes and listened. He heard the sound of what some people called cars, he could hear the people as the spoke and walked down the street some having meaningless conversations others trying to extort money from others with favors or promises. People were so easily persuaded and manipulated into doing things or others it was sad to listen to. Lucifer opened his eyes and walked out of the trees to see the actual bustle. People were getting out of work and heading home others were heading to work and people covered the sidewalks. Everything smelled, burning fossil fuels, smog, the people themselves, and not to mention the cars they drove.

Lucifer looked at himself and realized that among all of the people he was standing there naked and his wings exposed. Quickly dodging into the shadows he hid his wings from the eyes of humans now he just had to find some way to get clothes. So he waited till someone walked close enough to his hiding spot and grabbed them, covering the man's mouth and knocking his head into a wall and effectively knocking the man unconscious. Lucifer slowly lowered the man to the ground and began stripping him of his clothes memorizing all of the different things that humans wore, which was quite a lot. He slipped the clothes on in the opposite order that he had taken them off. They were uncomfortable and were tight in some places and big in others.

Lucifer sighed and made his way back onto the street, he felt very uncomfortable and confined but it wasn't as bad as the cage so he didn't have to really worry about that. He looked in one of the shop windows and saw a woman paying for large quantities of clothing with a rectangular piece of plastic. Lucifer stuck his hands in his pocket and felt a wallet in his pocket; he pulled it out and opened it. In side there were a few of those plastic rectangles as well as some paper in the largest compartment. He looked at the numbers and added it up to about two hundred and fifty dollars. Looking back at the shop Lucifer walked in and began looking at the clothes when a peppy young sales lady approached him.

"Do you know your size? And if so would you like any help finding some of today's hottest fashion?" She asked her voice a little to shrill.

His voice hoarse from lack of use Lucifer spoke lowly, "I'm not too sure on my size and I would rather something more laid back if you don't mind." He sounded gruff and a lot rougher than he had intended.

Keeping the smile intact on her face although her eyes showed shock she spoke again, "Well then right this way and we'll get your sizes." She bounced away heading toward the back of the store.

Lucifer reluctantly fallowed the overly peppy sales lady a little embarrassed that he was having to do this. When they reached the back of the store there were 4 little cubbies that had cloth curtains in each door way. The sales lady walked through a door that appeared to have a key card lock on it and quickly walked back out closing the door securely behind her. She walked over with a measuring tape and held it up expectantly. Lucifer stared at her confused.

"Alright if you want to go into one of these dressing rooms and undress to your underwear and I'll come in, take your measurements, and then we can find you some new clothes okay? Okay!" she said practically shoving Lucifer into one of the dressing rooms and pulled the curtain closed.

Feeling shy and a little out of sorts Lucifer stripped his stolen clothes till he was just in his boxers and socks. He knew he had to do this and be nice about it but damnit if his pride would get him caught before he could really get a feel for the new world around him. Lucifer cleared his throat to let the lady know that he was ready. She came into the room and looked Lucifer over, surprise flashed across probably because he was so well built and had come in wearing rather shabby clothes. She came close to him and raised his arms so that they were level with the floor and began pulling he tape through her fingers and taking measurement and writing them on a small pad that was tied to her wrist. She crouched down and had him spread his legs a little and told him he could lower his arms. She then began taking measurements of his legs and hips even going as far as to measure his feet. Finally finished she stood up and smiled at him flashing her overly white teeth.

"Alrighty then I'm done with the measurements you can go ahead and take a seat I'll be just a few minutes." She bounced through the curtain and left Lucifer standing there mostly naked and a little confused.

He sat in the soft plush chair his cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He tried crossing and uncrossing his legs, shifting in his seat trying to get comfortable. The only thing that he seemed to find even remotely comfortable was to sit cross-legged and slightly hunched with his fingers intertwined and fiddling his thumbs. It took the sales lady what seemed like forever which was probably only about five minutes to come back. Lucifer looked up from his lap with a start as the sales lady came in her smile still plastered to her face. She was holding a pair of dress pants and a nice looking dress shirt.

"Alrighty these should do the trick!" She said handing the clothes to Lucifer then stepping back out of the dressing room closing the curtain behind her once again.

Lucifer stood and quickly pulled the khaki's and blue button down on he looked at the shirt slightly confused. He grabbed one of the buttons and slid it through one of the holes on the opposite side the button easily slid into place. A small smile crept over Lucifer's face and he felt a little accomplished that he had figured this out. His fingers worked the other buttons into place and when he was done he looked down at the shirt satisfied with himself, but something still seemed off. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and tucked it into his pants, when he looked at himself again it seemed more appropriate that way. Unsure of what else to do Lucifer opened the curtain and stepped out, the kind sales lady was standing there talking to a different couple and directing them to an aisle. When she turned around she stopped her smile spreading further.

"Fantastic, and here are a pair of shoes for you to try on." She waited until Lucifer had the shoes on and tied and he was standing again. "How do they feel?" She asked.

"Um… Comfortable?" Lucifer said tentatively.

"Great, how many of each would you like?" She asked her face brightening.

"Another pair of shoes three pairs of pants and three shirts different colors if you could please."

"Of course!" the sales lady disappeared again.

This time while she was gone Lucifer grabbed the things from his stolen pants pockets and shoved them into his new ones. He then folded the clothes and tucked them under his arm. When he turned around he came face to face with a mirror. This was the first time that he had gotten a good look at himself ever. His blond hair was in a bit of disarray and his blue eyes gleamed brightly. He walked closer to the mirror examining his features a little better, his face was stubbly and would probably need a shave, his cheek bones were soft but noticeable very will complimented but his not to large round eyes. He wasn't sure if this is what human called attractive or not or if it was him just being vain. Lucifer started running his fingers through his hair watching the way that each strand moved and fell or didn't fall and stayed in a somewhat spiky mess. He quickly flattened his hair looking at the way it sat on his head, and just as he was about to start playing with his hair more the sales lady came back holding the clothes in her arms. She stopped and smiled wider at the way that he was looking at himself in the mirror.

"I can help you check out up at the counter if you would like?" She said softly her eyes roaming over his body obviously checking him out.

"Sure I guess." He said still unsure of himself.

She started heading back to the front of the store what seemed like and extra bounce in he step. When the approached the counter she swiped a card and walked behind the counter laying the clothes and second pair of shoes on the counter ever so genteelly. Lucifer watched as she typed a few thing into the computer then counted the items and started typing something else.

"Is this your first time shopping at one of our stores or do you have a membership?" She asked a little to sweetly.

"No I have never visited you kind establishment before." Lucifer replied.

"Alright, if you sign up for a membership today you can get 20% off of this purchase."

"Whatever you wish." The sales lady smiled at that her eyes gleaming happily, as she looked back to her screen type a few more things in then pulling a sheet of paper from under the desk.

"If I could get you to sign here and print your name here." She flipped the page. "Then write your address and phone number here and your email here." She said handing the paper and pen to Lucifer.

Lucifer looked at the paper rather perplexed before he signed and wrote his name and handed the paper back seeing as he didn't have the other things that she had requested of him. When she looked the paper over she looked back at Lucifer confused.

"I don't have those other things that you asked for." He said his face blank.

"Oh…." She said she typed in a few things and smiled back at him. "That's alright, we can just leave those things blank, and with that your total is going to be four hundred and eighty dollars with the 20% discount." Lucifer was a little shocked but pulled out his wallet and grabbed one of the random credit cards handed it to the sales lady. She looked even more confused. "Sir ummmm…. I'm going to have to see some ID."

Lucifer pulled out the ID and looked at realizing that the man in the photo looked nothing like him. Shrugging his shoulders he knew that something like this was likely to happen he used a little bit of his power to change the photo ID to his face trying to use as little of his power as possible. He turned the ID around and handed it the sales lady, she grabbed it looking at Lucifer's face then at the ID then at the name and signature on the credit card. Satisfied that they were the same she handed the ID back and swiped the credit card.

"If you don't mind can I ask a question?" She said hesitantly.

"I don't see why not." Lucifer said hiding his nervousness.

"On the membership form why didn't you fill in the other info?" She said almost seaming afraid to ask.

He wasn't sure if it would work but Lucifer said the first thing that came to mind. "I just went through a bad break-up and had to move out of my place, toss my phone and get rid of my email. I'm just making a few last purchases before I close my accounts as well." Lucifer told her, his voice dripping with fake emotion. Lucifer watched as the woman's face changed between happy and sad.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She pulled the receipt and scribbled something on the back of it before handing it to Lucifer. "If you want someone to talk to when you get a new phone call me, and maybe we can even go out sometime." She said he face turning into a flirty sexy one.

"Thank you…" Lucifer looked at the name on the receipt then back at her face. "Amanda, I'll be sure to call some time."

With that Lucifer was able to leave the store with his two bags of clothes and a phone number in his pocket. He wasn't entirely sure of where he was going to go now, and he noticed that the people on the street were few and far between. He looked around and saw one sign nearby that said 'hotel vacancy'. Lucifer, deciding that he probably wouldn't find anything close enough and safe enough so that he wouldn't have to use his powers, walked the short distance to the hotel.

Almost as soon as he walked in Lucifer noticed that the hotel seemed to have an odd smell. Shrugging it off he walked up to the counter and rang the bell to call the desk attendant. A rather large round man wearing a dark green uniform approached the desk. His face wasn't all that kind but his attitude was professional. He gave a half smile before wiggling the mouse and turning on the screen of his computer. Humans seem to be overly dependent on the machines.

"Hi there, check in?" The man asked.

When Lucifer looked closer he realized that the man wore a name tag. "Yes, Josh, I would like a room please. Nothing fancy, just something for while I'm here." Lucifer said acting as polite as possible.

"Yes sir, if I could have you fill this card out please and do you know how long you would like to stay?" Josh said.

Lucifer looked at the card it was asking for his name and credit card number. "I would like to stay for two weeks please." Lucifer stated before pulling out his wallet and using the same card that he had used earlier he wrote down the name and card number that was on it, and handed the slip back to the desk attendant as well as his card to swipe.

"Alright two weeks that's… six hundred and thirty dollars, and will that be credit or debit?" The attendant asked.

"Credit please, and do you know a good place for coffee around here?" Lucifer said, he had wanted to try this beverage that everyone pretty much everywhere seemed to enjoy.

"Yeah, as long as you don't like those fancy coffees there's a nice diner down the street, Nancy's Diner." The man said a true smile on his face as he handed Lucifer a room key with a number on it.

"Thank you Josh." Lucifer said and headed to the stairs to get to his room.

Lucifer approached the door with the same number as the one on his key and slowly opened the door. The room was rather posh, it had a queen sized bed and a TV at the end on top of the dresser. There was also an overstuffed couch and chair with a small dark coffee table making a nice little alcove. The room had nice cream colored walls that Lucifer guessed were supposed to be calming.

Lucifer placed his bags in front of the dresser and opened one of the drawers and gently placed his clothes inside before closing the drawer again. Lucifer stood up and walked over to the bed and sat down. He slid off his shoes and tossed them toward the door and laid back on the bed and closed his eyes. No wonder humans are tired, trying to deal with other humans like this on a daily basis is exhausting. Lucifer closed his eyes, not being able to use his powers was hard, but at the same he didn't want to be found. Yet. Lucifer unknowing fell asleep, a trick he had learned to pass time in the cage.
