Innocence
Chapter 15 Temptation
AN: Thanks for all your lovely reviews and yes I am going to finish this fic I've only got one more chapter to write are you all excited? I'll try and write it on Sunday so there you go! Also I'm really soz for making everyone nod so much! And yes I know the little bit with Chas and Gaia is not well written but hey my imagination is non existent! Okay that's it please R&R!
'Luceria daughter of Lucifer you have been called upon. Darkness shall fall upon all who do you harm, you shall rule the three planes of Heaven, Earth and Hell. You shall wield the power of destruction, chaos, pain overthrowing all who stand between you and ultimate control. You shall prevail through millions of centuries, your kingdom growing day by day. You shall harness more power than nature herself and you will be great.
Luceria daughter of Lucifer you shall hold all souls as our slaves, your prisoners feeling no remorse, no sorrow…'
"Shit" Chas cursed throwing down the heavy book.
It was no use he had been looking for hours finding the same bullshit each time.
Luceria is evil, Luceria will rule the three planes… Basically we're all screwed.
John had been one of his closest friends, his only friend! He didn't know what to say or do to make things right again.
They had two options;
1. Do nothing and let Gaia take over the world, destroy everything and create hell on earth for everyone.
Or 2. Let John go to hell save the universe and suffer eternal torment with no chance of returning.
Great options they were both as bad as each other.
"It's only one life Chas! Think what would happen if I didn't do this how many souls would suffer needlessly?" John had said trying to explain how he felt but it hadn't worked Chas felt the exact same now as he did when he had found out.
Gaia had been gone for a while now, he felt so sorry for her, things must be tough finding out all this crap about your family, your destiny…
"It's no use John I can't find jack." Chas said frustratedly trying to keep his cool.
"I told you. Listen Chas, if there was another way I would find it. Do you think I wanna go to hell? I'm terrified!" John admitted it wasn't very often that he revealed his emotions to Chas, or anyone else for that matter.
"John if you do this you're fucked! There ain't no turning back, you can't change your mind when you get there coz you don't like the weather"
"Chas I know you're only trying to help but it's not working"
John stood up disappearing into the bathroom.
I heard everything Gabriel had to say, everything! John would go to hell and I would be good, no longer capable of evil. It didn't seen fair what did John gain from all this? Nothing! So why was he so intent on torturing himself?
I walked sadly through the front door plagued by the many thoughts buzzing through my head.
It was chaos. Books, scrolls and pads where scattered everywhere making it look as if a bomb had just destroyed a small library.
Chas sat among it all his head buried deep amongst the dusty old tomes.
"Hey" I said flatly giving him a small smile.
He looked up his eyes bloodshot and weary.
"John's going to hell"
I nodded.
"I know"
"How"
"Balthazar told me, I asked John and he said everything was true. He's gonna sell his soul to save the world… How heroic." I sighed.
"What and you're okay with that?" He asked angrily.
"Of course not! Chas this is all my fault if John goes to hell because of me I'll never be able to forgive myself"
"Well, why don't you talk to your father then? Huh, why are you just sitting around like you don't give a fuck"
I was hurt. I had been doing everything but sitting down! I still hadn't got my answers from Murphy, he bailed before I could stop him.
Maybe Chas was right, maybe I should pay Lucifer another visit, beg him to help in anyway after all he did owe me 16 years.
I nodded. I have to do something, anything.
"I give a fuck Chas, in fact I give more than a fuck! John took me in, he helped me, took care of me and now he's willing to do this to clean up my bloody mess! I'm grateful I really am but I'll never let him do it. If he goes to hell I'll go straight down there and get him back, even if I have to trade myself for him"
Chas smiled. He always looked so sweet when he smiled, so innocent and gentle. It melted my heart.
"I love you"
Shit! Did I just say that… No, I must have thought it. Nope, judging by the look on his face I'd said it.
Fuck. Very smooth Gaia your timing is impeccable.
I put my hand to my mouth, it was too late now but I felt the need to stop anything else coming out.
Chas stood in total shock his eyes wide.
"Seriously?" He asked nervously.
I nodded. Shit. I've gone insane! I'm being possessed this is not me I've just made the same mistake twice.
Chas nodded slightly his eyes remaining fixed on my face looking for any sign that I may be lying.
"I love you too"
Okay now I was worried but instead of running a million miles in the opposite direction I moved towards him.
"Chas, I'm just so tired"
"Shh…" He put his finger to my lips gently hushing me.
Closing my eyes I wished away all my pain, the nightmares I had experienced, everything but Chas.
I wanted to stop everything put life in slow motion and enjoy every single second with him.
His hand cupped my face as he mover closer. I felt his hot breath on my lips. Every part of my body ached for him he was so close but somehow not close enough.
As his lips met mine I exploded.
I couldn't wait. I needed him desperately, I wanted him to take away my pain, to banish my tears. I wanted him to bring me peace.
I sighed contentedly as he ran his hands softly down my back sending shivers down my spine. Hungrily I pulled his shirt off exposing creamy white flesh. I felt my own top fall away, the pace quickened leading us both towards the temptation we had been fighting.
"Gaia… Wait…" Chas panted.
"What"
"John's in the bathroom…"
I blushed, oops. How much had he heard?
I found my top, redid my jeans and headed for the kitchen.
"You okay?" Chas said momentarily following me.
"Yeah... Sorry I got a lil bit carried away"
"Yeah me too." Chas replied sheepishly pulling his shirt back on.
"How long has John been in there?"
Chas stopped a second trying to remember how long it had been.
'10 minutes before you came in and however long you've been back for"
I nodded making my way to the bathroom.
"John?" I knocked loudly on the door.
No answer.
I turned to Chas panic over powering my body the adrenaline pumped through my veins making me 100 timed more alert.
"What if he's done something?"
I tried the handle. Locked.
"Chas do something!" I said urgently.
"You gotta be kidding me there's no way I can break that door, it's solid oak"
"Ahh, fine I'll do it myself"
I concentrated all my energy on the door, a couple seconds later it flew open revealing an empty bathroom.
"Where the fuck did he go?" I asked in confusion.
"Out the window…"
"Wha? It's too high Chas, that's impossible"
Chas walked over towards the window leaning out for a better view of the street.
"Apparently not"
"Chas we gotta find him!"
