Chapter 14 The End of the World
AN: Baa! I so wanted to update today but the site won't let me upload no worries you guys can wait an extra hour or so! Lol. How did you all like the last one? Ohhh the plot thickens doesn't it now. I won't to do a new story! I'll attempt that maybe when I'm done with this story. Maybe… THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER! How did that happen? I have no idea but it did! Lol. Okay well unless I think of anything else on with the story.
"Darkness rule this earth. Darkness spread over us all and lead us into temptation. Darkness be our keeper and forever hold our souls in your grasp, forsaking the innocent and damned alike. Darkness I deliver you"
The sun was rising casting an angelic glow throughout the room. The stained glass filtered the soft light into it's many colours.
I had been chanting for hours but I didn't seem to be getting any weaker, infact I actually seemed to be getting stronger. Each word I uttered brought me a sick sort of power sending jolts of electricity throughout the entirety of my body. My face was set, no emotions would get through the rock solid mask I had formed during the last couple of hours. My eyes were a sooty black, an empty pit of chaos threatening to swallow you whole.
Everything was so silent and peaceful. The birds had recently began singings brightening up the day with their cheerful songs.
I remembered a time when I was happy, it was a vague memory of a boy lost to me now but had once been my world.
I could never forget those eyes. Big brown eyes, his innocence clearly apparent. I remember looking into those eyes a smile forming on my lips as he chartered away happily of pointless little things.
Chas Kramer.
Those world were like poison bringing me the relief I needed yet some how bitter and vile. At one point those world had brought me comfort but now they were empty just nasty reminders of what could have been.
I adjusted myself on the floor my knees beginning to get sore after hours of kneeling.
"Nothingness and silence, darkness shall overcome not only bringing the torture of an eternal night but the dreaded creatures that follow suite. THE END. It shall come upon them like a plague and they shall beg for the end. All of them will beg but none will receive the relief they search for"
I could see the wall were his soft skull had connected after Gabriel had thrown him… I could still hear the crunch smell the copper tang that filled the air as his blood began to seep from the open wound. I remember clearly the dread that had overcome me in that second.
"It's Chas, I can't find a pulse…"
How could those simple words make someone die inside? I remember his lifeless body lying so limply… I had saved him. I had brought him back refusing to let go, not after the pain we had both endured. It had seemed like a lifetime before he woke but he had woke and we had been happy at least in part.
Why? Why had I ordered Gabriel to take the life of the man who held my heart.
He loved me no matter what he had said or done I felt it in every fibre of my body. I loved him too. Thinking of those big brown eyes… His smile. They gave me the strength to carry on and I had ended it all. I had condemned him to death because of MY actions.
I had slept with Murphy. Me. I would be held accountable for my actions, me and no other.
I had killed him.
"I, Luceria daughter of Lucifer. Bringer of Chaos, creator of destruction I command thee. Bring forth the power of ancient times. End the reign of humanity who have plagued the earth for an age. Bring forth the creatures of old and bid them loose to create the fiery pit that lies beneath"
And what of John? Had I not worked so hard to save him? Get him out of Hell and now I was going to send him straight back there? Was I making any sense? Was this what I had come to a fucked up mess not knowing what I wanted?
"I, Luceria daughter of Lucifer bid thee let loose!" I said louder.
I felt the energy slowly drain my life force being ripped through my body. My hands slapped with tremendous force onto the marble floor I knelt on. The heat and the sting didn't bring a tear to my eye as it once would have. No, instead I recoiled inwardly I would not show my weakness.
I felt the soft tremors of the creatures waiting to be released a few more verses and it would all be over. My pain, the worlds pain, the suffering everyone felt yet no one voiced. The pain I had inflicted on myself. I had done this I had done it all.
"Chas if you don't put your god damn fucking foot down, there won't be a tomorrow"
"John, I'm trying!" Chas replied pushing his foot harder on the gas.
"What if we're too late"
"If we were too late we'd know it." John replied.
"How"
"Fuck Chas use your head! It would be hell on earth. We would all be screaming in a burning pit of agony"
"O right." Chas replied biting on his lip.
"John is this my fault"
"No kid. It's just a huge mess. Don't blame yourself." John replied lighting a cigarette after all it could very well be the last one he ever has.
5 minuets and they'd be there he just hoped they could save her…
"What is she playing at?" Lucifer said sounding rather bored.
"She will do this. You know she will. Stop her." Merisier pleaded with the lark lord.
"Merisier darling she has too much good in her. She couldn't even kill the kid"
"She thinks he's dead Lucifer she's heart broken and she WILL do this"
Lucifer looked off for a while most probably thinking. Weighing up his options… Could John and that kid stop Luceria from ending his reign or would he need to intervene?
"Fine." He said finally.
"I'll have a word"
He began to walk away.
"Why do I get stuck with the power hungry kids?" He muttered shaking his head.
My breathing was coming in short rasps I was trying to bring a shaky breath into my lungs but it wouldn't budge.
I felt so weak my head was spinning I was getting light headed I knew this was going to end. I would either collapse, proving everyone wrong, (maybe I didn't have the power to destroy the world after all but I doubted that) or I would end the world.
"I command thee…" I gasped.
Fuck why was I even doing this? What was my reason? Did I even have one?
I just felt so tired, aged beyond my years. I was 17 years old and I felt 70! All my energy had been drained, finding out you were the devil's daughter didn't exactly do good things for your mental stability.
No, I had to finish this no matter what.
They were just outside now. Chas pulled up to the curb, opened the door and tried to move.
"It's called a seat belt kid." John said calmly dropping his cigarette butt out the open taxi window. He calmly opened the door and steeped out taking the stairs 3 at a time.
Chas rolled his eyes. Even though he was in the middle of mayhem John could always be the cool guy. He finally undid the clasp securing him into the cab, slammed the door forcefully and began to run after John.
"I, Luceria daughter of Lucifer command thee. The power I harness, my royal heritage I give to thee. You may cross over you may…"
"GAIA!" Chas screamed running into the now brightly lit church.
I stopped dead the words I were about to say fell dead on my lips quickly forgotten.
The soft tremors had increased in magnitude and were getting steadily stronger.
"Chas…" I whispered not daring to turn.
"Gaia." He repeated walking a little closer unsteady on the violently shaking ground.
"No, you're dead." I said finally turning to face the ghost of my lover.
He shook his head.
"No"
"Chas…" I whispered again a single tear falling from my fresh blue eyes. The sparkle had returned. They were no loner dull pits of empty hatred but had returned to their full glory back to before all this shit had happened.
He nodded walking closer towards me.
The tremors were dying down as my anger slowly dissipated.
"Chas." I repeated this time I let out the loud sob I had been choking back.
"I'm sorry!" I sobbed letting loose ever single tear I had wanted to cry but hadn't. All my pain and anguish came flooding back and I collapsed with a thud on the cold marble floor.
"Shh" Chas soothed dropping to his knees softy beside me.
He took my head in his hands wiping my tears gently from my pale face.
"I love you." I cried my shoulders rising and falling with each sob.
"I love you too." He replied placing a soft kiss on the top of my head.
I was safe.
Lucifer stood in the background regarding the scene distantly.
He wasn't one for all the emotion crap but what he saw almost brought a tear to his dry eyes. Almost.
John watched with curiosity as the devil stood silently a satisfied smile on his lips.
Looks like Lucifer really did have feelings, could've fooled him.
"C'mon Gaia lets go home." Chas said pulling me to my feet.
I took his hand, John in my other and I knew everything would be okay because I was loved and it looked like it wasn't the end of the world after all.
THE END
