Chapter 33
Rowena got to the top of the stairs and opened the door. She saw the sentries on the roof and as quietly as possible made for the skylight in the center of it.
She managed to open her carpetbag and pull out the Brass bowl and ingredients for the spell that would send anything in the warehouse back to Purgatory and seal it forever.
She had managed to maintain silence. But one of the sentries spotted her and was heading her way. She held up a hand as her eyes glowed purple and shouted at her would be attacker.
"Constringitur in Locum" and the Demon froze in place. At the same time its head hit the ground with a thud.
Rowena's eyes went wide when she saw Lucifer, his Archangel blade dripping with blood and his wings spread wide behind him.
"Start the spell Red, you will not be interrupted" Lucifer said while smiling down at her.
Lucifer could just snap his fingers and the last of the sentries on the roof would be gone but what was the fun in that? As he started towards them, he turns to Rowena.
"You Witch, should only know pleasure, not pain. But either way, I am the only one who will give either to you."
Rowena only smiled as she said.
"You are too full of yourself. "Tis I who will show you the pleasures of pain.
No one had ever made Lucifer shiver before.
"We shall see Red, we shall see." He said as he turned to kill the first abomination that reached him.
Rowena put the ingredients into the bowl and started to recite the spell, the Latin words falling from her lips was second nature to her.
With the last two ingredients in either palm she clapped her hands together. The one-minute countdown for everyone to get out of the warehouse had begun.
She picked up her carpetbag, she would not be sucked into Purgatory (or die) without it.
Looking around for Lucifer, he was nowhere to be seen. The only indication he was there at all were the dead Demons and Leviathans that were scattered around. She smiled.
She knew she would not make it out. It took a full minute just to get up the stairs to the roof and another minute to get to the center by the skylight. So, she just stood there knowing her fate.
When she was grabbed from behind and turned around, she thought it was a monster that Lucifer had missed. That is until she looked into his eyes.
"Hold on Rowena."
Was all he said just as the spell exploded.
His wings spread and the repercussion of the explosion helped to push them further away from the building as it began to crumble into itself. This caused his landing to be a bit on the rough side, landing on his back with his wings spread and a Witch cradled in his arms.
Amara was standing over him looking down with a smug smile on her face.
"Nice of you to join us." She spoke.
Lucifer laughed, "You try carrying dead weight out of an exploding building."
"I'll show you dead weight, now let me go you Polypus (octopus)." Rowena hissed.
Lucifer gently kissed the top of her head and let her go, he stood up helping her up as he did so.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING" Rowena yelled.
Lucifer grinned.
"I was thinking I would like to feel some of that pleasurable pain you promised me."
"I promised no such thing." Rowena hissed.
The others watched with smirks and curiosity. It was Amara who finally spoke.
"Nephew, you are sooo screwed."
Lucifer laughed and with a grin said.
"Yea, I've heard that before."
It was Meg who brought them all back to reality.
"I see Hunters leaving the warehouse but, I don't see Castiel. Why hasn't he come out yet?"
It was at that moment that Meg fell to her knees clutching at her head.
"NO, NO" she shouted, "I WON'T LET YOU BRAKE IT."
