Ella
I slept in the bed tonight.
According to Lucifer; he doesn`t sleep, so I got a nice comfy bed all to myself. Well it actually wasn`t that comfy, but it was better than the couch. I was still waiting on the Quinn rescue, and I figured it`d take some time. Luckily Lucifer didn`t suspect anything, when he came back he just decided the 'bracelet' must have gotten stolen, so who was I to argue?
Something was different today though, usually I wake up to the house being completely as it was the night before. But this morning there was a strange smell lingering, do I smell pancakes? Curiously, I got out of bed wearing a T-shirt and track pants, which I had just bought. I would`ve gone with shorts, but I don`t think I`m that comfortable just yet.
As I followed the smell I found myself in the kitchen, the table had a paper plate with pancakes stacked on it, with a paper cup of orange juice on the side. Lucifer was just standing to side with determined eyes to match his proud smile.
"What`s this?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Well, this is proof." he smirked "I`ve finally mastered human needs."
"Lucy?"
"Mm?"
"You forgot the fork."
"Fudge."
"It`s alright." I took a seat at the table "I`ll manage." I picked up one pancake, it was warm but not burning hot, so I easily folded it in two and took a bite, some of the syrup stuck to my fingers. Lucifer just stared at me like I was some wild exotic animal that needed to be locked up in a cage and studied for the rest of its life.
"So is there anything else, pray tell, that humans require?" he asked once I was finished.
"Well humans do get bored." I answered matter-of-factly "We require entertainment."
"I`m not belly dancing."
I burst out in laughter at the simple thought of him doing that. Clearing my throat a moment later, I sat up straight again to see an amused look on his face.
"Ahem, well." I gave him an innocent smile "How about a walk?"
"What for?"
"It`ll be something to do? Come on, you`re so lazy anyways, let`s go."
"Augh." he groaned "Fine, where too?"
"Somewhere open, nice, pretty?" I suggested off the top of my head.
"Go get a jacket then." he replied.
"Are we going somewhere cold?"
"Actually we`re going somewhere open, nice and pretty. So go get a jacket."
Luckily I had bought a jacket, considering it was fall, and winter was right around the corner. So once all snuggly dressed I headed back into the kitchen where Lucifer timidly offered my his hand, and zap: I was freezing. I didn`t know where we were, but there was snow all around, snow and pine trees. Heck it seemed to go on forever, not a single person or building in sight: just snow and trees.
"Where are we?" I shuddered.
"Northern Canada." he replied innocently.
"Why the hell?" I wrapped my arms around myself "Did you pick northern Canada!?"
"Well, because it`s open, nice, pretty." he looked at me challengingly "And because now I know you`ll never ask me to take you for a walk again."
"Or next time I`ll just add warm to the list?" I challenged back.
"Then I`ll take you to the Sahara Dessert."
"What about somewhere warm, and wet?" I considered a beach-like place.
"Then I`ll take you to the Indian sea." that didn`t sound so bad "Right in the middle of it, so I hope you can swim?"
"No wonder you don`t have any friends." I grumbled, then decided to begin on our treacherous walk. I had to take big steps, and the snow kept slowing me down but in a strange sense I was enjoying myself. Lucifer walked a few meters behind me, not because he was slow, but because he was just taking his sweet time. I wondered for a second if he felt cold, he was after all wearing only a flannel jacket with jeans. But then I remembered he was the freaking devil, so he`s probably all peachy.
As I got a bit further the snow just seemed to get heavier, so I took a break and glanced back at Lucifer, who was now staring at the ground, his expression hard and conflicted. He was probably thinking of something, so this was probably the perfect time to get back at the jerk. I know, I know call me crazy, but I was ready to take a risk.
Quietly I scooped up some snow, and patted it down in my hands until it was a makeshift ball. Grinning to myself I looked back at him to see he was still oblivious to the world, then I swung back my arm and threw the snowball straight at him. It hit him straight in the face, and he didn`t seem hurt or anything: only surprised. Slowly he looked up at me and I wondered if he was finally going to smite me, but instead he raised an eyebrow and smiled innocently.
"Did you just challenge me to a snowball fight?" he sounded more amused then angry.
"I`m surprised you know what that is." I replied with a snarky tone, before picking up another snowball and firing at him, this time hitting him in the chest. He didn`t flinch or anything, instead he scooped up his own pile of snow and next thing I know it`s raining snowballs. I began to run, trying to dodge his throws, which seemed to be never-ending. I leapt behind a pine tree just in time to dodge another, then quickly I made a snowball, and glanced from behind the tree to take aim.
He was gone.
A bit confused I took a step back and bumped into something. Oh fudge.
Next thing I know Lucifer dropped some snow in the hood of my jacket and pulled it over my head, sending the icy cold substance down my back. I shivered and squealed as a freezing numb sensation ran over my skin. I began to shake my coat, hoping all the snow was gone, but the coldness remained. Now I turned back to Lucifer, who was laughing his ass off.
"Now I see why they call you the devil." I grumbled.
"You started it." he smirked "But at least-"
Before he could finish, I flung the snowball I was creating earlier straight at him. He wiped it off then grinned devilishly, and waved his hand, suddenly the tree I was under began to shake, and next thing I know all the snow on its branches came raining down, forcing me onto my back and literally burying me.
"Seems like I`ve got that ability back." he grinned "Only a few more to go."
"Lucky me." I grumbled "Augh so cold! Get me out."
"Say the magic word?"
"You`re a jerk."
"Mmm, try again?"
"You`re a really big jerk?"
"Once more."
"You`re a really big satanic jerk?"
"You`re going to be in there for a while."
Quinn
I had just finished an argument with Dean over music control, unfortunately he won. We had been driving for a few hours now, and Ella was still a day away, but I wasn`t as worried as I should be. Why? Well because one, she said she`d probably be alright for a few more days and because in a strange way the devil was actually taking care of her. Secondly, I`ve seen Supernatural plenty of times to know the good guys eventually always win, so it should be no different this time.
Lucifer C:
We had to get back to the house sooner than I had hoped. In a strange way I was actually enjoying the 'walk', but I didn`t argue when she pleaded to get back home. Something about it being way too cold in Canada at night. As soon as we were inside the living room, Ella sneezed and began to cough.
"What`s wrong with you now?" I asked, a bit concerned. Wait what? No not concerned! Definitely not concerned! Well not concerned about her of course, it was just the restoration I was concerned about. Yeah that`s right, I only cared about that. Not her. Definitely, not her.
"I think.." her voice sounded hoarse as she coughed again "I think I caught a cold."
Raising an eyebrow, I placed two fingers on her forehead: she shivered against my touch. Regardless, I willed her to heal, for her body to wash over and become healthy again. Certain I had healed her, I removed my fingers and she coughed again.
"It seems I don`t have that power back." I muttered, a bit frustrated.
"It`s okay." she pressed a hand against her throat "Humans get colds all the time, it`s natural."
"It`s actually my fault..." what was this feeling in the pit of my stomach? It felt like a heavy weight that was pinning me down. Was this... guilt? "I shouldn`t have left you under all that snow for so long. And I shouldn`t have-"
Before I could finish, she began to laugh, her voice was a little different and throaty, but it was still clearly laughter.
"Lucy?" she smirked "Are you apologizing to a human?"
My eyes widened a little, holy shit I was apologizing. Gosh, what`s happening to me?
"Of course not." I tried to act natural, rolling my eyes and folding my arms "I`m just worried about my restoration, that`s all. So let`s see, you need medicine right? And bed-rest? And soup and all those other things right?"
She blinked at me: "How do you know all that?"
"I`m not that oblivious." I was slightly offended at her lack of faith "Stay put."
Before she could say another word I zapped out of the room and reappeared in the nearest pharmacy. Okay, so honestly I wasn`t too sure how this worked. I knew what humans needed, but I wasn`t entirely sure how to get it. Slowly I wandered around the shelves, examining each box and reading over the unfamiliar titles.
I picked up one box and read over the back, it listed a bunch of unfamiliar ingredients then went onto side effects: headaches, heart burn, itchiness, sore nipples, what the hell? Putting it aside, I decided there was only one way was going to find the right box. I glanced up at the pharmacy counter where a lady was sorting through papers.
"Excuse me?" I said politely as I approached her.
She glanced up at me and smiled: "How can I help you sir?"
"My friend caught a cold, what do you recommend for her?" did I just say friend?
"Well there are lots of options, but I`ll grab your our most efficient brand." she turned away from the counter and began to rummage through some shelves before returning with a small bottle "How`d she catch a cold?"
"Oh you know." I shrugged "We had a snowball fight in northern Canada this afternoon."
The lady laughed and handed me the bottle "Funny. Anyways just make sure she goes to sleep after taking it, oh and that`ll be-"
I passed her a fifty before she could finish, and in the next second I had zapped out and reappeared back in the house. Ella must have changed because now she was dressed in a sweater along with her usual track pants. She was hugging her sides and was curled up on the couch, but as soon as she saw me she sat up straight.
After grabbing a spoon from the kitchen, I took a seat beside her.
"Open up." I ordered and she rolled her eyes but opened her mouth. According to the bottle she was supposed to take two spoons so I poured the sickly sweet liquid onto the spoon and drove it down her mouth. She cringed at the taste, and I begin to fill up another spoon.
"Augh again?" she complained "Couldn`t you get a more flavourful one?"
"Just shut up and drink the damn medicine." I muttered, forcing another spoonful down her throat.
She coughed a little but then settled down and I tossed the spoon and bottle on the table.
"So according to the pharmacy lady, you need to go to bed now." I explained.
"But I`m not sleepy." she whined.
"Don`t care." I rolled my eyes "Bed, now."
"Gosh, I didn`t know my dad was here."
"Excuse me?" I scoffed.
She just smirked smugly.
Why are humans so difficult? I was really starting to miss all my powers, it would be so much easier just to wave my hand and have her tied down in bed... not in the dirty sense of course. I just need her to get better so in turn I can get better.
"I`ll tell you what." I stood up and smiled innocently "I`ll count to five, and I expect that ass of yours to be in bed and resting."
"When did Satan become so caring?" she challenged.
"One.."
She didn`t move.
"Two..."
Still nothing.
"Five." she stuck her tongue out "That`s it."
I suddenly pulled her over my shoulder and she squealed as I got up and walked her to the houses bedroom. She struggled, squirmed and even giggled a bit as I kicked open the bedrooms door and laid her down on the bed. Once she was lying across the mattress she folded her arms and pouted.
"I`m getting up as soon as you leave." she said matter-of-factly.
"Well then I`m not leaving." I folded my arms.
"You`ll get bored after a while." she replied "I know you, you get bored easily."
"Well." it was true, I did get bored easily, but I wasn`t surprised she knew since in her dimension she had seen my whole life throughout a TV screen "I can be patient when I want, I did after all spend an eternity locked in a cage."
Sighing in defeat she scooted a little on the bed and patted the empty space "At least sit down then, it`s creepy when you just stand and stare."
I raised an eyebrow, so apparently according to her that was creepy, but lying down beside her wasn`t? I`ll never understand humans.
She didn`t say a word as I laid at last a fair distance away from her, and truthfully I was getting bored. But I just stared at the ceiling and listened to her heartbeat, which I could easily hear. Once it was calm and quiet I knew she was asleep, so finally I got up and headed towards the door. For some reason I didn`t want to leave, but I forced myself too anyways.
