Author's notes:
I promised a sequel, there is the sequel ^^
There have so many things to talk about! Like his vulnerability and her miracle-stuff. There will be several chapters, not a lot. This first prolog is very short but it was essential; you'll quickly understand why.
Happy reading!
PROLOG
Ten…
He rushes to the doors and grazes his hands on the metal.
This isn't possible.
Nine…
A tremor and he tumbles on his back.
He hears her screaming and tumble too.
Eight…
He uses his hands to stand up while another tremor shakes the elevator filled with stifling smoke that only partially hides this short countdown.
He coughs, he suffocates. Then he reaches out for her.
Seven…
He can feel her fingers touching his but another tremor pulls them away from each other.
Fear overwhelms him.
There's not much time left.
Six…
He can't get her out of here in time.
Sparks dance before his eyes reddened by the smoke around him.
He can't stay here and do nothing; he can't let her die.
Five…
" Detective ! "
He coughs again and looks for her.
Another tremor and the elevator falls from a few meters. He hears her scream in front of him, frightened. Her scream mingles with the grinding noise made by the metal against the concrete of the building. His hands are tensed on the walls. He tries to fight the panic overwhelming him, too.
They're falling.
Four…
The fall stops abruptly, a terrible snap resounding outside as the whole elevator shakes with this frail balance above the void.
He lets out an exclamation of relief, however quickly caught up with panic.
Three…
" Lucifer ! "
He sees her crouching in the opposite corner, moving her trembling hand towards him.
He leans over, he tries to reach her.
Her hand…
Two…
Their fingers touch each other, they are brushing against each other.
Their eyes meet, sharing the same panic.
One…
" Chloe ! "
A scream. Quickly followed by hers.
" Lucifer ! "
A new explosion above them break their eye contact and keeps their hands apart from each other.
They fall one last time.
