Year 8~1999

Michael was now seven and adapted at going to school doing his little pieces of homework, Lucifer was six and much happier now that he went to school but he'd started getting argumentive with everyone.

Michael included.

Gabriel had just recently turned four and still got babysat by Grandma when his parents went to work and his brothers were at school.

So he'd adopted a nasty little habit called pranking.

Being four years old he couldn't play very elaborate tricks, but for his age they were very devious.

For example whilst he was helping his mother do laundry of whites he slipped in a dark red sock into the machine making all of the clothes come out pink, or when he tipped a packet of chilli powder into the stew for supper and gave everyone flaming tongues.

Yes for a four year old he was quite a sneaky.

He used his new found hobby as a way of passing the boredom of being alone (Without his brothers) for most of the day, something that was also starting to worry him and his parents was that Lucifer had started having nightmares.

He'd wake up in the middle of the night screaming something about fire, falling and Gabriel at the same time crying his eyes out.

Eve did everything to comfort him back into sleep, even Adam tried holding him until he calmed down but Lucifer always freaked out yelling about "Black eyes! Sulphur! MIKEY!"

Michael would take Lucifer from their mother's arms and rub his back soothingly, then he'd hum random tunes which would calm Lucifer into sleep once more. He didn't understand what it meant but he'd heard his parents say stuff about taking Lucifer to see a 'doctor' or 'pull him out of school until he was older' he didn't get it but he somehow knew that it wasn't good. Each time he heard them discuss it dad would say things about Michael looking after him just fine for now and that he'd grow out of it.

Gabriel didn't think it was as easy as that and something big, not to mention creepy, was what was scaring Lucifer.
