She was walking down the street with a slight skip in her step. Only those who knew her well would recognize the faint narrowing of her eyes that caused wrinkles at the corners and the pressed lips were her version of a smile.
It was cold, the faint drizzles of rain causing her to shiver, hastily rubbing droplets from her face with a slight grimace at the moisture spotting her glasses. A neutral expression replacing as she pulled her scarf tighter, her shoulders hunched against the wind that ruffled her coat. At least she was heading home, out of the cold wet rain.
All thoughts of perching on her favorite swivel chair and finally getting around to reading the books recommended to her by a friend that finally arrived while eating muffins were interrupted by a sudden feeling of wrongness, the hairs at the back of her neck rising. At the screech of tiers she only heard in movies heralding a vehicle loosing control, she felt her eyes widen.
Feeling as if time itself slowed down, the girl turned, slowly as if moving through water to see the source of the noise. The truck was large and old she noted, well used and given only enough care to be barely operational. Probably why it was currently careening towards her, vaguely reminding the girl of a frantic dog she once saw stumbling over its own feet in pursuit of a cat.
Knowing it was pointless and accepting it was pointless were two very different things. The former applied to her more than the later. After the second it took to comprehend exactly what it was she was seeing, the girl spun lurching forward. trying to get out of the way.
In a vaguely dreamlike way, the girl noted some part of the vehicle, probably the front impact her shoulder and back, bones snapping and crunching, as the ground against each other. Coat and flesh shredded, bloodily torn open her body was picked up and sent flying.
she bounced one or two times, a tumbling bag of broken bones that landed not to far from her house, unfortunately in the middle of the road. The pain was mind numbing, intense, and impossible to ignore.
She could barely think, but through the fog that clouded coherent thought and the dark encroaching at the corners of her vision the girl realized absently that the loud snap that reverberated through her skull was her neck. Before the darkness fully claimed the girl hazily recalled just learning about internal decapitation a month ago from a news article. She closed her eyes.
It began with a bright light, blinding in it's intensity and pureness, piercing the primordial darkness and paving the way for all of creation. Events that few words in any language known to mankind could every truly describe were remembered.
The beginnings of Creation. The birth of the first of many universes, the carefully crafted marbles that orbiting orbs of light were part of blossoming spiraling galaxies. When the Old Ones threaten their Father's most precious creation, they helped cast them out. Alongside her siblings she watched her Father's work as the Creator filled the darkness with light.
Time passed, and there were more than just her three siblings. She played with fledglings, teaching them about their Father, who was busy furthering creation, only they saw him, bust as he was. Everything fell into a patten, all was peaceful and simple. There was no disorder or misconduct. The only disturbances were small acts of mischief by the younger, goaded on by the youngest of the original four, all in good fun. Humans, were a complication that she hadn't been able to handle. Her Father's greatest creation, one he wished them to bend their knee, bow down to.
Sculpted earth given form through creation, a sliver of her Father's brilliance, their souls bringing them to life. The very sight of them sickened her. Twisted mockeries that paled in comparison to her father, imperfect, flawed shattered things that's very existence set wrongly in her being. She swallowed her revulsion and tried to obeyed her Father.
But she couldn't understand. Why worship twisted flawed mockeries of the original? The source of all that is good and right, Life itself? She couldn't. humans were to cruel and violent, every act they committed marring the original luminescence of the soul gifted to them by her Father. spreading from the first man to all. Didn't they see it?
With pain if her grace, she confided with her siblings, only to be accused of betraying Father and gazed at with suspicion. Enraged and hurt she poured out all her feelings of betrayal, her refusal to love any being that corrupted and stained the gift their Father left for them.
What happened next was a blur. Exploding grace, broken wings, shrieks of the dying, and the clash of sword against sword.
She. Did. Not. Want. This!
She cried as brethren fell. wings stripped and burned as they fell in disgrace, cries of pain and suffering ringing through the aether. She was nearly catatonic when the eldest archangel arrived, sword drawn, thousands of wings spread aggressively.
It was awe inspiring in a horrifying way, knowing that he meant to kill her.
As the sword stabbed at her, she allowed herself to go with the blow, falling from heaven down to the dismal realm of hell, cut off from the voices of her siblings, though as of late, all she could have heard were screams and wails.
The walls of her cage closed in on her, the cold sapping the warmth of heaven till she was a hollow empty shell. Her Father was the only one capable of constructing such a prison. The realization hurt.
Hell had been her own creation, meant to be a place were she could flex her burning grace without worry of damaging any of her Father's creations, time running faster so she could practice longer without being missed. She wouldn't be surprised if she was the older sibling with how long she had spent in hell, aged and matured by the ever fluctuating passage of time. She hid any changes with wards imprinted into her grace, feeling it was best not to cause unrest among the host.
Naturally cold, the black ice covered much of the dismal realm took centuries to melt from the grace that permeated the place. With time her grace strengthened, burning hot enough to create lakes of fire. What was once her little private get away from the responsibilities that came with being an archangel, (not that she really minded serving her father) was now her prison. The walls pressing ever closer, suffocating and small to a being that could make the speed of light seem like a casual stroll.
For the first few centuries of imprisonment she tried to free herself, frantically clawing at the impenetrable walls, lashing with her talons wings and tails till they bled grace. When after the centuries passed and nothing changed save for the yawning cold in her grace growing larger, she frantically fluttered from one end of the cage to another, screaming out to her Father and brethren, unheard or ignored. It didn't matter which, none of them responded.
It was to small, to silent for one used to hearing millions of voiced always talking and singing, a constant ambiance that she felt so lost without. Singing brokenly to herself trying to ignore how impossibly loud the silence was, she finally settled into a corner of the cage, cradling the small flame her once brilliant grace was reduced to, thousands of tattered wings uncaring strewn around her.
She was lonely enough to create the first demon. In a fit of madness, thinking a familiar like companion would soothe the mind consuming quietness. Many more followed, and hell changed to accommodate them. Silence replaced by screams of the tortured and the twisted thoughts at the edge of her mind, for better or for worse.
She never did manage to break the cage that held, her, however she did manage to escape through a small almost insignificant crack, the thinnest sliver of space. Later she would recall that it was that exact spot all her eyes had been that exact spot all her eyes had been focusing on for hundreds of thousands of years spent in her isolation. The moment she noticed the opening, she tore herself to pieces in her fervor to escape.
Tattered shreds of grace condensed into small shades of the whole's former brilliance, rocketing out of hell, so weak and faint, they was easily mistaken as a souls by any supernatural creature that saw them, and just as easily forgotten once they passed through the reincarnation cycle.
For almost a thousand years, her shredded grace lay dormant withing vessels, rejoining with each death until combining to form a whole archangel that never felt more conflicted in all of her existence. She was an archangel, cast out of Heaven, even free there was no connection to her siblings, her grace bore no resemblance to the grace of an angel from Heaven, burning hot and cold in turns but still radiant but not in a way that and angel would recognize as one of their own.
She didn't feel as much loss as she expected. The memories of countless life times were just as hard to ignore, but Lucifer had other things to worry about. Mainly the vessel that her conscious had been occupying for the fourteen years being loaded onto a stretcher and the frantic truck driver babbling out apologizes to Hayley Adam's crying parents, the police standing a respectable distance while questioning bystanders.
Lingering the archangel simply stared at the body, then the crying parents. Hesitantly a wing tip brushed over their shoulders before with a leathery flap, the archangel vanished.

Sitting in at a outdoor fast food store she didn't bother remember the name of, Analucia Ellson Green stared pensively at the the plate of thin, round, starch-based cakes saturated in artificial sugars and corn syrup. With single minded focus, the small perfectly square piece impaled by a fork was examined for a full minute without blinking. She bit it off the fork, face blank as hazel blue eyes stared slightly glazed. The plate was quickly and efficiently cleared seconds later, and several more followed after it.
