Drawing You Down
Chapter II
John shook his head vehemently. "I don't care what reason you claim to have for being in my apartment. You're not wanted here." He rubbed his temples in irritation.
"But Johnny, you were dreaming about me. How can you deny that you were at least thinking about me then? And for your information, I'm not desperate."
"Of course you are. I certainly didn't dream that on my own and you're the only one who could've sent me that dream. You think I enjoyed being in hell?"
The original fallen angel grinned at him. "Why yes, I do. At least, more than you'd ever enjoy Heaven. Do you know how quickly you'd get bored up there, always feeling peaceful?"
John stared at him in disbelief. "You're twisted. I most certainly did not enjoy being there, and how do you know I'd get bored?" He started when Lucifer's breath hit his skin. He hadn't seen him move.
"Gee Johnny-boy, I did live there for many centuries before I was cast out. You think I only had one reason for rebelling? At any rate, I expect that I'll be seeing you again soon, but I've got to go right now. I do run a kingdom after all."
He vanished as easily as he had come and Constantine cursed even more. He couldn't decide what pissed him off more – the fact that he had just seen Lucifer or the fact that the devil had gotten within a few bloody centimeters of him without him even noticing until it was too late.
"God damn you, not that that has any meaning for you. Stop messing with me!" He stalked back to his bedroom and was stopped by the immediate reply.
Lucifer's voice echoed around him. "God already cast me out and I do so hate to disappoint you, but I can't do that. No Johnny, I simply cannot let you be. You belong to me and you'll realize that soon enough."
John stomped his foot in frustration and threw himself into his bed. "Like Hell I will, Lu, not in a million years." He started to fall back asleep and almost immediately fell back into another horrible dream.
