Chapter Four: Things just couldn't get better, could it?
Later in the evening that day I went up to my room. I sat at the vanity mirror that was dust covered. I never really used it, and this was a very rare occasion. I wiped the dust away and looked at myself to the fullest. Storm-grey eyes, long dark-black hair, pale skin, half-full red lips. This was me…..even if I like it or not. I'm not one who wants to perfect her looks. I'm just happy with natural beauty. I never really wear make up, or anything like that. That is just a waist of my time. But I do get really tired of guys hitting on me when I'm book shopping…..and that is when I curse natural beauty. Sometimes I wish that I looked a bit more, I don't know, more normal. I sighed and turned around in the swivel chair, so I was facing my bookshelf. I scanned down the rows. Nothing caught my interest. Then, from outside my door I heard the sound of foot steps and paws on the hardwood. A soft knock echoed through my room.
"Doors open." I called slowly getting up. The door slowly opened and a Doberman came bounding in. He jumped up and started licking my face. I tried to keep him down until I heard a chuckle.
"Well, I see that he likes you." Mom walked into my room.
"Mom? You got me a dog?"
"Yep, sort of like a 'forgive me' present."
"Mom you can't just buy forgiveness, or love." I added. The Doberman whined sadly and pawed at my leg, wanting attention. I patted his head, still looking at mom.
"But honey, he really likes you and besides it will do you good to have a pet."
"Alright I'll keep him, but or not forgiven yet." I saw her face brighten. "But stop trying to buy my love. If you really love me then show it through your heart, not your check book."
"Oh alright. So what are you going to name him?"
"Hmmm….I'm thinking Lucifer."
"Lucifer! B-But that the name of the devil!"
"Ah but before he was cast out he was the Light Barer. And his name translates to Light Barer."
"You really done your research."
"I read a lot."
"I see. Well I guess you want some time to get acquainted with….Lucifer." She shuddered. She turned to leave but I put my hand on her shoulder.
"Mom wait. Thank you and I'm sorry about the way I acted yesterday, but you are never home. It seems as though you want to be on shopping trips than at home with dad and I. It really hurts to think that you don't really love us."
"Raven, sweet heart, I love to more than shopping. The truth is I was away because I thought you didn't want me home, that you preferred your father over me."
"I guess all we needed was to talk it out huh?"
"Yeah, I guess." She smiled and hugged me. I hugged her back. Lucifer whined and jumped up. I smiled and petted him. "Well its late and time for you to get to bed."
"Oh mom I'm not a little kid you know."
"I know but I never really got a chance to say that." She smiled and headed for the door. " Good night Raven."
"Good night mom." I smiled. She closed the door.
As I got ready for bed Lucifer made himself comfortable at the foot of the bed. He watched lazily as I finished up unpacking the presents from Damien and Mark. I blushed as I held personalized card that Damien slipped into one of the books he got me. I could tell that he made it himself and it looked like a professional had done it. I opened it and read the poem.
'Gentle as the sky.
Lovely as the rose that only blooms at midnight.
If I only knew the reason why,
I was ensnared by love at first sight.'
I set the card on my desk and sat on the edge of my bed. Lucifer looked up. I smiled and crawled under that blankets and fell asleep.
I woke to sound of whimpering and scratching. I was up and rubbed my eyes. "Lucifer, you need to go out?" I looked over to the door but he wasn't there. I sat up and looked in the direction of the whining. Lucifer was scratching at the window, staring at the ground. I got up and went over to the window. The same dog and bird that I saw a night or two ago where there again. I shivered, Lucifer looked at me and whined. The dog and bird cocked their heads still staring intently at me. Lucifer scratched at the window, wanting out. I looked at him and petted his head. "No Lucifer you're not going out right now."
When I looked back out the window the dog and bird where gone. Something wasn't right. Lucifer calmed down and went back to the foot of the bed.
About an hour later I still couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned but to no avail. The door opened slowly and Paul came in with a leash.
"Time to go for a walk Lucifer." Paul jingled the leash. Lucifer jumped up and ran out the door. I smirked, my eyes still closed.
A/N: I know that some of your thoughts on the real Lucifer are different from mine, but no flames ok?
