Chapter 17

It's a Horrible Life

Christian had been in this room, so many times that he could know where every single book was. It was his study that had every book that was written from humans about him and his son. He looked at the fireplace that was filling the room with its warmth. He took off his business jacket and put it on a chair. He undid some buttons and began to search for the 2 books. He picked them up and put them on the table. The first book was the very original Bible that had ever been written before it was translated in thousands of different languages. The second book was the original Bible before the book of Revelation was written. There was a reason that he had wanted to read it again. Now that he was married to the Whore of Babylon, he wanted a fresh reminder. Not finding the answer that he was looking for, he knew that, he had to take desperate measures.

He closed his eyes and travelled back to when John was working on the final chapter, when an Angel showed up. "What are you doing here?" Christian looked up at him.
"Sajaiael, I wanted to see, was it originally planned for the book of Revelation to include the Whore of Babylon or not?"
"What makes you ask this question now?"
"I'm like many humans, I get curious."
"Would it have made a difference, if she was written in it or not?"
"If you don't want to tell me, then, don't. I'll just wait for him to write it." Sajaiael sighed and took a seat at a chair.
"You want a drink?" He held up a cup for Christian to take.
"What is it? Water?" Sajaiael shook his head.
"No, we know that you don't drink that stuff. You were never thrilled with it. It's beer." Christian nodded impressed.
"Never thought I would live to see an Angel having a taste for this stuff."
"Call it a special occasion. How's married life anyway?"
"Interesting. So, is playing a father."
"I would have never pictured you a family man."
"Same."
"However, we knew that you would fall for her." Christian looked up at him.
"You did?" Sajaiael nodded.
"We saw that your love for her was so strong that you forced us to make a choice."
"Oh?" He nodded again.
"We had a choice to either ignore the fact that you would take her as your bride and as the mother of your 'children' or justified it. We saw both paths and guess which one, we took?"
"So, the Whore of Babylon was not going to be written down, had I not fall for her?" Sajaiael stood up and put his hands on the top of a wooden chair.
"You have been around longer than any human on the Earth had. You've seen thousands and thousands of different women. Never have we thought that we would see you act like this, so fixed on one woman that you don't want any other human." Christian looked down at the cup that was in his hands.

"Since it's just us, I'll confess this. I didn't think that, I was going to fall for her this hard either. I thought what every human had thought. While she was deaf and had cerebral palsy, I thought of her as a perfect prey. Just have her eat out of my hands by showing her affection and then, after the rapture, let her go. I was planning to. I had it in my head. But, then, she proved to be everything that I never thought that she would be." Sajaiael shook his head.
"You didn't see how strong she was before? When your son tortured her, she endured it, even facing the tears. Did that not give you a preview?" Christian nodded as he remembered back.
"I should have saw it then. But, at that time, I was only worried about, if you would have intervene and what would happen, if you do."
"You were never a good liar. You couldn't stand watching your son hurt her, when all you wanted to do was save her." Christian looked at him.
"You still know me, after all, these years?" He laughed as Christian took a sip.
"How could we not? You think that our only job is to focus on the humans? No, we keep tabs on you too, ever since you've left God and Christ's presence."
"Why did you decide to justify me taking Colleen as my wife?" Sajaiael frowned.
"You know that she's actually smarter than you give her credit for." He looked at him puzzled. "She told you that you were being evil for falling in love. She was right. You weren't supposed to go there, yet you did."
"Then, why didn't you stop me?" He looked down and looked up at Christian.
"How? God and His son has already told us that this world will be yours, after He comes to collect all of His children. But, we did try to warn her not to be with you. But, you being who you are, we should have knew that, it would be impossible for her to resist you." He looked up at the Angel.
"What exactly, do you mean by me being me?" He frowned.
"Come on, you're good at talking, it's the one thing that you've been good for, since the dawn of time. Colleen, a weakness for words, she would have fall for you either way." He smiled at that and sat back into the chair.
"Maybe, I've made her a weakness for words, so that she would." The Angel shook his head.
"Still cocky, I see. Rather you or God created her a weakness for words, it doesn't change the fact that, she fell for you and now she doesn't want anyone else either. However, she's still part human and wants a human relationship."
"Are you here to tell me to give up being Satan and become a human for her?" He laughed.
"No. Your role is clear. You're staying Satan and she's staying your bride. It's a shame that, we had to give her the role of Whore of Babylon, but it was the only way to allow you to be with her."
"Why would God 'allow' me?" Sajaiael shrugged.
"I guess, He wanted you to understand love like we all do. But, Lucifer, none of us thought that, you would ever know or understand."
"By us, you mean?"
"The other Angels, obviously. And we would have never thought that, it would be Colleen Passion as the one to do it."
"Makes 2 of us." He looked up at the Angel. "Do you want me to get rid of her?" He shook his head.
"Jesus showed up to try to get you to get rid of her before it became too late for either one of you. But, you refused. What makes me think that, you would be capable of doing so now?"
"I only rejected Christ's offer because he rejected mine."
"You knew what He had preached. His kingdom is not on Earth, but in Heaven. How was He ever going to work with you, when this is not His home? You made this place your home, even though, you weren't supposed to do that either."
"Then, why didn't God punish me for being so rebellious or stop me?"
"He still loves you Lucifer and He's still hoping that, you would come home." He laughed.
"How can I go home now? I have a wife and 'children'." Sajaiael nodded in sympathy.
"Then, why did you take on the roles?"

"What do you want me to do? Go back in time and stop myself from loving and wanting Colleen?"
"You know what, that's a good idea." Christian looked up at him puzzled. "I'll do you this kindness, as my former brother. I'll have you go back in time, when you first saw Colleen. You will have all the memories you do now about the two of you. If you can resist her and not take her as a bride and the mother of your 3 'children,' we'll make the world only think and believe that, the Whore of Babylon means Rome. No one else, would ever interpret it differently."
"You would do that for me?" He asked as he stood up and the Angel nodded.
"But, you would have to do so, with all the memories you have of the two of you. Resist her and maybe you'll have a chance to come home again. You know that, this won't hurt you." Sajaiael put his 2 fingers on Christian's head and closed his eyes.

Christian was transported back into the time Kayla was a 6-year old child. He watched as she joined her uncle in going to her friend April's house. He was tempted to enter April to fuck Kayla like he had originally done; but decided against it. As a result, April and Kayla did nothing, but play. At that, he decided to leave her alone. He went and tried watching other humans, but his thoughts were on Kayla. He closed his eyes and saw the two of them dancing at the physical realm wedding and watched her smile up at him. He could see that her eyes were so full of love and gratitude that he had kissed her. It made him feel sad to know that, it wasn't going to happen.

He had to distract himself, so he went to Tim Berners and Robert Cailliau to help them get started on forming the world wide web. At first, it helped him to keep his mind off of Colleen, but he was starting to miss her, so he went to what she was up to. She was having a hard time breathing as she woke up in the middle of the night and because she was alone, there was no one there to help her. Satan looked up and screamed, "What are you doing? Save her!" No Angel came and nothing was done. Her heart stopped and she closed her eyes for the final time. He looked down and went over to her body. He closed his eyes and couldn't believe that tears were falling out of his eyes. He wasn't supposed to be acting like this. It was supposed to be a human thing.

At the church, he knew what he had to do. Even though, no human could hear him or see him, he went up to the platform to the microphone. "My wife had wrote a song for me. I've never wrote a song for her. So, I've decided I would do so now." He looked up at the ceiling. "Kayla, sweetheart, if you're watching. I hope you like this song."

God Took My Love Away by Sherah Payton

It has been so long
Since I last sat in a church
But, I'm here to confess
All of my hurt
I'm hurting from my heart
Since today, God took my love away

Now, I don't know what to do
Cause I'm lost without you
You've been everything to me
The morning and the night
The rain and the shine
Can anyone tell me
The cure
For a broken heart
Cause today, God took my love away

I never thought that I would get up and sing
But, how could I not
When He was the one that made me
Fall in love?
Now, he's left me with a broken heart
Cause today, God took my love away

(guitar music)

It has been so long
Since I last sat in a church
But, I'm here to confess
All of my hurt
I'm hurting from my heart
Since today, God took my love away

I've been doing what I have seen others do
But nothing makes me feel better
Nothing can replace
What she's given me from the start
And that was nothing
But love

Tell me what to do
Tell me what to say
How can I make all this pain
Go away?
Cause today, God took my love away

I never thought that I would get up and sing
But, how could I not
When He was the one that made me
Fall in love?
Now, he's left me with a broken heart
Cause today, God took my love away

I never thought that I would get up and sing
But, how could I not
When He was the one that made me
Fall in love?
Now, he's left me with a broken heart
Cause today, God took my love away

Cause today….

He showed up to the funeral and placed blue roses at her grave. He couldn't help; but roll his eyes as the priest talked about Heaven. She should be in Hell with him. Now, he knew that he was never going to see her again. He swallowed and looked up at the sky. The clouds began to form. Rain and lightning hit the Earth and the thunder roared.
"Lucifer! What has gotten into you?" He turned to see an Angel.
"Come on, don't pretend that you have forgotten that in another reality, Kayla and I have gotten married, had 'children' and she had become the Great Whore of Babylon as a result?" The Angel bust out laughing.
"You and Kayla? You with a deaf and cerebral palsy woman?" He laughed until tears ran down his face. "Lucifer; lay off the drugs and booze. You know that the Whore of Babylon refers to as Rome and not an actual woman." The Angel rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"She's in Heaven, isn't she?"
"What do you think? God created her for Him and not for you. No human God makes is for you. It's has been this way, since He made Adam and Eve, nothing has been changed." The Angel left and what he said caused anger in Satan that he closed his eyes and a tornado was formed in Houston, Texas.

He went to his bedroom in Hell. He turned on the radio to listen to music and found the song began to play, "Down In a Hole" by Alice in Chains. "Demons, I want booze and drugs and I want them now!" He ordered and the demons brought them to him. Days turned to months as he stayed in his room only drinking and using drugs. It caused every demon and Cain to become worried about him. Baphomet went to see him. "Satan, why are you acting like this? What has gotten into you?" He looked at him and it took him a while to remember that it was his son.
"Son, do me a favor." He nodded puzzled. "Don't ever fall in love. Ever." He threw up from drinking too much. Baphomet was puzzled, what did Satan mean by that? He decided to ask the demons, perhaps, they knew him better than he did.

"I can't remember a time; my dad has ever fallen in love. Does he mean Eve?" The demons shrugged. He went to see God and Jesus at their thrones.
"Cain, we're surprised to see you here before us. I'm guessing it's important?" He nodded.
"Can you allow my dad to see Eve? He misses her." God and Jesus exchanged looks.
"It's not Eve that your father misses." He looked at them puzzled. "But, it's another one."
"Who?"
"It's Satan's choice. If he wants to come home, he has to let her go."
"Do you even care that he's in Hell, drinking and using drugs? He thinks that those are the answers!"
"Your father has been through a lot. He can handle this."
"And if, he can't?"
"Then, he knows what to do." Cain shook his head.
"If he doesn't stop, it's on both of you!" He left their presence and returned to Hell in anger.

He had a plan. "I want a demon that's willing to volunteer to play a role for me." He told them as they looked at each other and then, at him.
"Anything for the son of Satan." A demon said as he stepped in front of Cain.
"I want one of you to go to my father and disguise yourself as Eve, see if, that will help." The demon closed his eyes and transformed into Eve and went to Satan.
"My Lord, cheer up, for I am here!" She came to him and he looked at her.
"Eve, what are you doing here?"
"The Lord of Heaven has seen that you're deeply upset and has sent me to cheer you up!" He pushed Eve off of him.
"If the Lord has truly sent you, he wouldn't because he would have knew, it's not Eve I miss, but Kayla. She was the one that had my heart and she still does!"
"Kayla, who my Lord?"
"Kayla Passion, who else? She was the one." He began to drink again.
"I'll go and get her for you, my lord." Satan shook his head.
"You can't. She's already dead and in Heaven." Eve closed her eyes and sighed.
"My lord, let me transform into Kayla and you can do whatever it is you want with me." Satan looked at her.
"We can try. Let me get a picture of her." He stood up, walked to his cellphone and was surprised to see that there were pictures of him and her on it, when they were married. He saw that there was a beer bottle close by, picked it up and threw it against the wall. "I'm getting harder drugs!" He left his bedroom as Eve went to the cellphone.

She was shocked and puzzled, when she saw that, it was not Satan, but a man with brown hair and blue eyes. He had a beautiful woman sitting on his lap. They were both dressed in wedding clothes. She had no idea, who this man was and who this woman was. She took the cellphone and sat on the bed. She went through his text messages and found many from a person labeled, 'Wife.'

I'm so glad that you know how to make me, and the family look good. I'll be making it up to you tonight.
While I was patient with your affair with Claire, don't think that I'll be so patient next time.
I give you my word, there will be NO next time.
Just pick better women, huh? We don't need to go through this shit again.
There will be NO next time. What do I have to do to prove it to you?
If you dare to cheat on me again, I want you to stop me from being the Whore of Babylon and give me my soul back. Then, give the role and the title to the one that you've cheated on.
What will you do with your soul, if I give it to you back? Go back to God?
Of course, you have already gave me, my dream and my fantasy. I'm satisfied
What if, I could give you more?
Won't be worth it, if you cheat on me.
Why don't you think of new dreams and fantasies, I'm going to do something. I'll be upstairs, after I finish. Then, we can work on our pornography.
Don't take too long, we need you.
Not as much as he does. I won't take too long. See you soon.
You better or I'll start without you. Eve put down the phone and was puzzled.

Satan came back with heavier drugs and more booze. He sat on the edge of the bed. "You know, I admire humans now."
"Oh, why?"
"They can use drugs and drink and it would affect them and their bodies. But, it does nothing for me. None of them do."
"Then, why keep using and drinking?"
"I'm hoping to feel anything than I do now." He began to get a drug ready as Eve looked at him.
"How do you feel now?"
"Horrible." He put the needle into his arm and closed his eyes. "You know, I used to laugh and mock at humans, when they fuck themselves up after a breakup, a divorce or even death. Now, I get it. It's no fun and it's a horrible life." Eve looked down.
"You had a wife?" Satan nodded and laid back on the bed.
"And 3 'children' that were really demons. One of them was Cain." He closed his eyes as Eve sighed. She closed her eyes and transformed into Kayla.
"I can try to make you forget about her."
"You can't, no one can. I cheated on her with Claire and all I could think about was her." Kayla sat on top of him.
"How did you two do it?" Puzzled, he opened his eyes and was surprised to see the demon had transformed.
"You think that looking like her, would help?" He touched her hair. "You can look like her, but you can't act like her. No one can." He shook his head and pushed her off.
"Satan, there are plenty of women you can choose from. So, go and pick another woman to fall in love with. You'll see."

Just then, Hell began to shake. Satan knew what it meant, having to go through it once already. He sighed and came out of Hell. "Satan, rejoice! Your 1,000 years out of prison is completed. You may now go and take a human body."
"May I take Kayla Passion's?" The Angel frowned.
"No! You may not take any of the Lord's anointed as a human flesh. Instead, pick from one of your own followers." Satan sighed and went to the bones of Judas. He went to take Jason Larry's name and flew out to Los Angeles. This time, he had no excitement or curiously to what was going to happen. He tried having sex with Samantha Carter, but it proved to be too boring for him as well. He had to think, now that he couldn't choose Kayla Passion as a wife, who could he pick? He went into his computer lab and began to do a specific search for all the deaf and cerebral palsy women. He found one, named Lindsay and decided to go court her. He studied who her crush was and rolled his eyes, when he found it was John Crichton from Farscape. He shook his head and closed his eyes. He looked at himself in the mirror and saw that he looked like him. He looked at his phone to see, where he could 'bump' into her and find that she was going out to eat at Chili's, so he decided to go there. People went up to him in surprise.
"You're John Crichton from 'Farscape.'"
"I promise all of you that once I have finished my dinner, I'll sign the autographs and take pictures. For now, I'm hungry." He saw Lindsay sitting all alone and smiled. He took a seat from across her. She looked up puzzled and was shocked to see him.
"You're John Crichton from 'Farscape.'" She signed and voiced. John closed his eyes and tried to not become sad about missing Kayla.
"Yes, I'm him. Do you mind, if I eat with you?" He signed and voiced back, surprising her even more.
"No. You know sign language? That's so cool! How do you know?" He smiled.
"Do you mind, if I order first? I'm hungry." She nodded in understanding. He gave his order to the waitress.
"I know sign language because I used to know someone that was deaf."
"Oh. Cool. So, what are you doing in this area?"
"There's a comic con not too far from here and I thought, why not eat here?" She nodded understanding.
"I loved, 'Farscape,' and when the part came to you dying, I lost it. I cried with Aeryn." He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, a lot of fans confess that. I get it. How's the food?" She nodded and gave him a thumb's up. His food and drink arrived, and he dived in.
"Why are you interested in sitting with me anyway?" He smiled.
"Well, I don't like to see nice and pretty women sitting by themselves." She blushed.
"So, you always sit with nice and pretty women?"
"Yes, in real life, I'm a single man. I'm trying to find a girlfriend." She coughed and choked.
"And you think that I could possibility play her?"
"Well, why not?" She looked at him skeptical.
"You know that I'm not just deaf, I also have cerebral palsy."
"And?" He looked at her, as if, that meant nothing to him, and she looked at him surprised.
"Most guys don't want to date a deaf and cerebral palsy person."
"I'm not like the others. If I'm willing to give you a chance, would you not be willing to give me a chance?"
"I guess so." After they ate, John looked at her.
"I apologize, I promised these people that I would sign autographs and take selfie pictures with them. Would you be willing to go on a date with me tomorrow night?" She was surprised.
"I guess. Do you need to know my number, so you can text me with the time and place." He smiled.
"Sure." He reached into his leather pants and gave her a pen and paper. As he signed autographs and took pictures with the fans, she wrote down her number and he smiled. As she was getting up to leave, he took her hand and kissed it. "It was nice meeting you." She smiled.
"You too."
"Would you like a picture and an autograph as well?" She nodded and he gave them both to her. "I'll text you soon." She nodded and left.

He text her the next day and asked her to meet up with him for dinner again. She was surprised that he had kept his word and agreed. They went to a nice romantic restaurant. She smiled, when she saw him. "Have you ever ate at a place like this?" He signed and voice as she shook her head.
"I don't have much money." She signed and voiced back. He frowned.
"If I wanted you to pay half or even a little, I would not have chosen this place. I'll pay."
"Are you sure?" He nodded and she shrugged.
"Order whatever you would like." She looked at the menu. A waiter came to the table.
"Can I take your order?" John smiled.
"Can we have your best champagne?"
"Surely, sir." He looked at her.
"I hope you like champagne."
"Trying to win me, I see." He smiled.
"So, I need to get to know you better. What are you looking for in a man?" She looked down.
"Right now, you're doing a fantastic job. You're cute, you know sign language and seem to be very nice and friendly." He smiled.
"I hope that this doesn't seem too forward, but how soon to you is too soon to have sex?" She spit out the champagne, when she saw him sign that and swallowed.
"I would never think that you would be interested in having sex with me. Is that all you want me for?" He shook his head.
"No. If I did, I wouldn't have asked, how soon is it for you. I would wait as long as you're ready for it." She looked at him skeptical.
"Even if, I ask for a year?" He looked down, when he remembered how Kayla used to challenge him as well.
"Well, a year is too long for me, I mean, if I'm horrible in the sack, would you want to know sooner?" She nodded.
"Well, if sex is what you're interested in, I can't have sex on the top."
"That's fine. I'm more of a person that likes the top position anyway." She studied him.
"You know, I think yesterday was too soon." The food arrived and he looked up at her.
"Are you saying tonight, could be on the table?" She smiled and nodded. "Well, a man can't say no, if a woman says yes." They ate dinner. They had sex that night. All he could picture was Kayla. He tried to block her out of his mind; but was unsuccessful. Finally, he just closed his eyes as he entered Lindsay and pounded her.

A year into their relationship, John looked at her as they were on the couch one night watching a chick flick. "How do you feel about me?" He signed asking and she looked at him.
"If I didn't like us dating, I would have left you a long time ago." She signed back and he smiled.
"Then, I guess I can come clean with a confession?" She looked at him puzzled.
"If you want to, I guess." He nodded and sighed.
"I'm not, who you think that I am."
"Oh?" He nodded. "Then, who are you?"
"I want you to promise me that you won't scream." She looked at him confused.
"What, are you going to confess that you're a rapist? A killer?" He smiled and stood up. He closed his eyes and was transformed into Satan. Her eyes were wide. "No way! You can't be Satan. We've had sex, we have been dating and you have been nothing, but nice and good to me!" He nodded.
"The world has been telling lies about me. That I'm evil, I wanted you to see for yourself that I'm not." She sighed and shook her head.
"Why have you been courting me?" He looked down.
"I've been trying to find my bride. I need someone that would carry my son."
"Your son as in…"
"The Antichrist." She looked at him in surprise.
"The Antichrist? You want me to carry him? I'm infertile."
"I know, but I have the power to get you pregnant, if you want to be."
"What will you do with me, after I've given you, your son?"
"We can get married." She looked out the window.
"I don't know how to raise the Antichrist."
"No woman does, but I'll help you." She looked down.
"What will I need to do?"
"First, as a gift, I'll make you have no more cerebral palsy and deafness. Would you help interpret for me in speeches and such?"
"You can do that?" He nodded. "I guess, I wouldn't mind." He came to her, closed his eyes and put his 2 fingers to her head.
"Did it work?" She stared at him.
"I actually heard you!" He smiled.
"So, will you agree to be the mother of my son?"
"Will you use your powers to keep me young and beautiful?"
"If you wish."
"Then, yes. I accept."

They were married a year later, and she gave birth to a son. After the birth of their son, Lindsay had a habit of leaving Satan with the boy, while she went out and cheated on him. He shook his head. The woman was all about power and not about love. One night, when she was getting ready for another date, Satan looked at her. "I've noticed that you rather be out there fucking than to stay home with me and the child." He crossed his arms and she looked at him through the mirror.
"Well, I'm beautiful now. I can have any man that I want. The Bible says that you support sexual sins. So, why are you complaining that I'm out there fucking and dating? I thought that you would like this sort of thing." She continue to put on makeup. He nodded and sighed.
"A boy needs his mother." She shook her head.
"We both know that he's not a normal boy. He doesn't need a mother; he just needs you." He nodded.
"Are you going to stop cheating on me?"
"No. I know you're cheating on me as well. So, what's the difference?" He shook his head.
"Since you brought up the Bible." Satan sat on the bed. "The Bible says that I can divorce a person, if they cheat on me continually. So, I guess, the only approach for me to do is to divorce you." She stopped putting on her makeup and looked angry into the mirror.
"You won't divorce me. You've told me that image and reputation is everything to you. How would the world view you, if you divorce me?" He nodded.
"You're right. Which is why, I'll have to release these pictures into the media as proof that you had." In his hands were pictures. She looked through them and saw that he wasn't lying.
"You fucking divorce me, I'll tell everyone, who will listen that you're Satan and not this John Crichton person." He looked up at her angry.
"Really? Going to threaten me?" He got up, took his right hand to her throat and picked her up. "I used to think men were overreacting, when they wanted to kill women like you. But, now? I get it. I don't need you." He choked her until she died, and he threw her on the floor. Hellhounds came into the room and Satan looked at them. "You can have her."

He began to hear crying from his son's room. He turned on the light to see him standing up in his crib. Satan sighed and picked him up. "Forgive me. I've picked the wrong woman as your mother. Are you hungry?" The baby nodded and Satan took him to the kitchen. As he held his son into his arms and fed him, Sajaiael showed up. "Have you seen enough yet?" Satan looked at him.
"Since, I didn't have Kayla, I thought that it would mean that, I wouldn't have my son either." The Angel shook his head and sat in the other chair in the dining room.
"No, you must have the Antichrist. That can't be changed, no matter, if you're married or not." He looked at his son, who had fall asleep in his arms.
"What kind of father would I've been, if I didn't get him the best mother possible?" Sajaiael looked down.
"I take it, you want to go back to Colleen?"
"I have to. Not just for me, but for my son. I love her and he does as well. She was, what was best for both of us." The Angel nodded.
"Very well." He stood up, put 2 fingers on Satan's head and they were transported back to Satan's study.
"Now, you have the same knowledge that we had, had we ignored it, if you had not have took Colleen." Satan looked at him shocked.
"You saw that before I had?" He nodded.
"That's why we had to justify it. You forget Satan, not only, do you get to see some of the future, but the Lord does as well. Why do you keep thinking Colleen is not right for you? I don't understand."
"Because, she was right. I don't fall in love." Sajaiael nodded in agreement.
"There's one thing you should have knew about Earth." Satan looked at him puzzled. "Anything is possible. I guess, it includes you and your 'family.'" Just then, the kids ran into the study and hugged Satan.
"Daddy, daddy!" He hugged them back and looked at the Angel.
"She's worth it."
"I would say so. Now, you know. Well, my job is done. Take care." He left.

Mary stood in the doorway and watched as Satan tickled them. She could hear them laughing, never would she have thought that he would have been a good father. He looked up at her and stared into her eyes. She was puzzled to why he was doing so. He picked up his last daughter Kayla, went over to her and gave her a kiss. "You're right. This is not just my family; this is yours too. So, let me do something to make it official." She looked at him puzzled. Hellhounds entered the room. He looked at them. "This is my wife, Mary. You are to protect her and obey her as well. She's part of the family. Treat her like she is." They looked at her and she was surprised. "To show your loyalty to me and my son, Elisha, go to her and lick her hand to let her know that you'll obey her, and listen to her." A hellhound came to her, sat and looked up at her, as if, to say, 'hold out your hand.' She sighed and did so. He licked it. The other hellhounds did the same. Satan came to her. "Satisfied? Everything I have and everything I own, it's yours. Now, we're equal partners, forever." He kissed her as she swallowed.

Heaven

"How could you have caused Satan to believe Lindsay was a real person? You could have been nicer and not have cheated on him." An Angel looked at Sajaiael.
"Well, say what you want about Lucifer, he was our brother once, and he always will be." Sajaiael shook his head.
"To think, he knows every Angel in this kingdom, but he couldn't even recognize you, Michael. Not even as the role of Lindsay." He smiled.
"Hollywood wasn't lying, Angels can be good actors." The other Angel shook his head.
"But, why did you want him to believe that Colleen was the right woman for him? You could have made him believe otherwise." He sighed as he looked down.
"Colleen's good for him and the family." They turned to look at Earth. "Can you imagine, Sajaiael, what the story of Colleen and Satan would do?" He looked at Michael confused.
"What can they do, if not evil?" Michael shook his head.
"If Satan can find love, anyone can."
"That's a good point. It's too bad that we'll have to destroy them all at the end."
"That we do. But for now, let them enjoy their 'love story.'"
"Just tell me one last thing, what made Satan finally embrace Colleen?" Michael smiled and looked at him.
"It was Elisha. He had become a father; he was willing to put his child ahead of himself. To think God's plan to make Satan understand Him, it shows the length that God would go."
"Do you think that he really does understand? The role of being a father, in love and in a relationship?" They began to walk back into the center of Heaven.
"If he didn't before I took him on the trip, he does now. It's too bad that love won't change him from the end."
"No, but like God said, because Eve opened the door to good and evil, it must be balanced at all times. Do you think that we should tell the humans? Or will they never know?" Michael looked at him puzzled.
"Know what?"
"Why Lucifer really rebelled against God." Michael smiled.
"God is the one that makes the decisions. So, if He wants the world to know, they will."

"I'm Samantha Carter and today, we have a new music video that someone posing as Satan in church had made. The song is called, 'God Took My Love Away.' We have the exclusive music video clip."

Satan was dressed in a black business suit with a red shirt. He walked to the front of the congregation and up to the microphone. "They say that Satan doesn't know how to love and that he can't. I want this song to prove that he can. So, this song is for the only one who has my heart. She knows who she is." He nodded and the music began to play as he began to sing. Then, it showed him walking behind the coffin as it was being carried out. After the guitar solo, as he began to sing, the church windows glasses began to burst. The people were still looking sad and crying. As the music continued to play, he went to the coffin and opened it up. He shook his head. "You won't be in there alone. I'm going to be in there with you." He got in and closed the coffin. The music video ended.
