luce lay in bed thinking about her night, the way daniel looked at her. why was he so familiar? she searched her mind countlesss times trying to think of one reason they have met or even just seen eachother. but she always came up blank. She thought about how he smiled at her, his violet grey eyes sparkling in the evening light, his kind and slightly mysterious personality. She couldnt get him out of her mind.
Daniel
Daniel sat outside remembering his evening with luce, he couldnt sleep his heart was still racing. he remembered the feel of her arms wraped around his waist as he drove, he remembered her breath at the back of his neck. he worried her asked too many questions, but every answer intrigued him. he loved hearing her talk, all about her interested him. then he remembered the wispers and images in the back of his mind when they talked of love. "I love you " said a sweet voice as shadows in the night assended and a mount of fire came in front of daniel.. and he was alone. What did it mean! He remembered all the dreams hes had sence that night in the courtyard. were they memories? imagination?he did not know. thinking of all this just made him want to hold luce in his arms, but that would probably scare her, they barely met yesterday and he shouldnt have such a strong reaction to her. the hug he gave her at the end of the evening ment more than any hug he has had before, she was special and he wanted to learn more about her. daniel walked up to his room with thoughts of luce, her long wavy hair soft pale skin and big curious eyes. he layed down remembering the evening with the girl he was certianly falling for.
Luce
Luce sat down in her religion class, she got there early today. she pulled out her books and notebook and let her mind drift. Her new friend Luke was absent from class today, was he still mad at her ? no,why would he be, it wasnt her fault. she still wondered why he was so angry. Whenever she was with luke she felt like he was holding a secret, but sometimes it felt like he was holding the secret on her, like he knew her better then he was letting on. and it scared her to think about it, but it was crazy right, she just met the guy. He had been pretty nice to her so she shoudlnt make assumptions about him . Her mind drifted to daniel. last night had been amazing. whenever she thought of it she felt herself blush with joy. Was she already too into him? they barely met 2 days ago and she could feel how strongly she felt for him. she had never felt anything like it , not even when she kissed hadnt even kissed her, if he did.. her heart raced with the thought. the chair next to her moved snapping her out of her daze. she looked up and saw daniel smiling at her , his beautiful face clean and alight. he was wearing light faded jeans and a cream sweater that fit his body snugly and perfect. his bright eyes wide and smiled at him and blushed remembering her daydream.
"hello Luce" said daniel
" Hi, daniel" she said and looked up at him.
There eyes locked and god she wanted to kiss him, right now in class she didnt care who saw them. KISS ME DANIEL!her mind screamed. his eyes bored into hers and she could see a new hunger in his too,his breathing was as ragged as hers was. he leaned closer..
"goodmoring class" said steven
Luce and daniel jerked back in their seats and their eyes tore appart, luce looked toward the front and Francesca was staring at her and daniel with a large proud smile on her face. Proud?
' Today we are going to talk about the great divide from heaven and hell and how it came to be. you see the world didnt always have a hell as pronounced as this one is today in our world." said steven
" God made angels, some sat upon the great thrown and admired the god that created them. they admired no one else, he was wonderful with all his glory. yet he was absent from the throne for a long time, he was on earth. some angels despaired, when he wasnt there for these vast years it was hard to admire the greatness of the man they never saw.. As this happened two angels felll in love, the They were Lucifer and Lucinda, does anyone recognize the names" said francesca
a girl in the backs hand shot up" Lucifer was gods Morning Star his most loved angel, and lucifer is also like the creator of hell. and Lucinda was one of thee angels on the throne"
"Good Jenifer," praised francesca " but that is not all, Lucinda was the third high angel on the holy throne she admired her god truely and deeply but she broke a rule, she was in love with another. Lucifer the morning star. He loved her and wanted to create a new relm that they would be free to express that love and not have to hide it,, he wanted to scream it from the rooftops, not knowing that Lucinda wasnt completely ready for that change, with him"
"With him?" daniel asked
"Yes, you see Lucinda met one named Daniel." Expained francesca. Luces eyes were wide, was this some joke or was this real. did the names mean anything. she looked and daniel and he was staring at her his face curious and baffled.
Francessca continued, the entire class enthralled " Daniel was with her and made her understand real love, the felt differently more with him then she ever did with lucifer, this love happens everyday in society however here there were more consequences. Lucifer called a meeting with god, he told god of his love and he explained his need to leave. God was furious, it turned to a battle of good and evil, all those wanting to stand behind lucifer would be cast out of heaven and suffer the nine day fall. those who sided with god would stay angels the most trusted."she paused her voice was softer her eyes far away" names were called, the angels that were higher up they counted more against the balance of good and evil, when daniels name was called, he chose neither, he chose love, the love that creates with lucinda. she chose him as well. Lucifer was enraged he yelled but nothing would change the loce Lucinda and daniel had. questions so far?"
Luce raised her hand tenatively" what did god do to them, i mean did he count that as a victory to his side or did they go with lucifer, ?"
"excelent question Lucinda" said francesca" to continue god only wanted those to worship him and no one else, the concept of love was forbiden among angels, he cast them to earth, where he said made it so every 17 years Lucinda and daniel would always find eachother, however once she understood the situation she would perish every time. this went on for thousands and thousands of years. their love story of her death and poor daniel always searching and waiting to see his love again became the love story admired through all fallen."
"How did it end" asked daniel
"now that, will be told next class Daniel" said steven.
the bell rang and we all rose, luces eyes were wide and her mind was racing, why had this story evoked such a reaction in her. hearing about it was like reviewing a old recipe, you know it,yet it was burried inside her waiting to emerge. now she keeps imagining all this with images created in her mind like she was there. her and daniel left class together walking outside they saw it was pouring walkedquickly and close together towards the awning leading to the locker rooms. once under daniel ran a hand through his wet hair,
"that class was..." his eyes trailed off
"i know" luce said "I felt connected like," she sighed
"i feel the same way" he looked down at her. there eyes connected again. gosh, was it his eyes that made her want to feel his lips on hers. that same hunger she saw in his eyes came again, she knew the same look of lust was in her eyes. she could barely breath, her heartbeat was ragged, his breath was shallow as he leaned in closer, his face only inches apart.
"WOOOOHOOOO" someone yelled, both their eyes flicked to the right but they didnt move " practice is canceled" it was xander, a senior on the swim team with them.
her eyes re connected to daniels, something about his gaze his eyes dark with desire, he was staring at her a small plea, was he asking her permission? their faces not even two inches apart their noses almost toutched, he moved his hand bringing it to cup her face. gently stroking down to her neck. their boddies pressed against one another she could feel every plane of his body pressed against hers. He leaned in closer and his lips were on her, soft a wisper at first, then stronger and deeper, his lips searching and passionate, her heartbeat was raging and so was hands lopped around his kneck and latched into his hair. there books toppled on the floor. his hand gently but firmly in her hair, and his other hand on her back pulling her against him. his mouth moving hungrily over hers as he slipped in his tounge. their kisses were desperate like they had been bottled up for a thousand years and finally set free. she pushed herself closer to him not wanting to let him go, he showed no signs of ever stoping and she didnt want to. before she knew it they were moving until her back was against the wall, his hands were all over her, and hers explored his muscular body so perfect. a low moan in the back of her throat, her mouth pushed harder against his. they both stopped gasping for air. her midn flashed, Luce flying in the air, giant white wings behind her, daniel in front oh her shirtless and facing her. his own glorious wings unfurreled behind him. there arms wrapped around eachother, "I love you Luce" he breathed as he kissed her thousands of feet above the ground
her mind snapped back and she saw daniels eyes boring into her, "could it be?" he asked his eyes amazed
memories flowed into luces mind. she remembered, every life every moment she spend with daniel, all the love they shared. all the promises made. she looked into his eyes as they came to remember too, he gasped and looked down at her, his eyes with love. his arms wove around her, his face tucked into the crook of her neck. she snuggled in feeling him against her
"I told you, I will always find you"breathed daniel his hot breath against her neck
" I Love you" said luce her eyes rimmed with tears
"I have always loved you, and i will never stop" said daniel as he pulled her closer.
wrapped in daniels arms, finally free to live the life full of love they always dreamed all the suffering all the years and lives lost people missed, they fianlly were together to live one last mortal life, and love forever.
Lucifer cried as he looked down on them from the sky, seeing their eyes alight with the tears of joy, the memories they were said to have lost restored. he cried for the love he should have had, yet to love.. he only wanted her to be happy. now that they had their memories he no longer needed to be here, lucinda would forget about her new friend luke fast enough, i tried i really the love she feels is for daniel. the gift of memory he gave should restore all he had done to her, make things better one good deed in his life he was happy it was to her. even though his love hasnt faided her happiness will last him a lifetime.
