Ella
I arrived at the hall this afternoon, tonight was going to be the party and I was more than pumped. Quinn was already there adding finishing touches when I showed up with the food that the caterers had dropped off.
"Hey! There you are." she grinned as I came in with a bunches of boxed foods "Put those on the table and help me get these mistletoes up."
"Mistletoes really?" I smirked "You`re really hoping you bump into Sam under one of those right?"
"Sam or Dean." she shrugged "Either one works."
"And you call me disloyal." I said as I pulled up one of the ladders so I could tape the mistletoes to the ceiling "Where are the boys by the way?"
"Busy probably..." Quinn replied hesitantly, as if she knew something I didn`t "But they`ll be here in time for the party. Which is in an hour and we still don`t have a tree."
"I told you I took care of it." I said nervously "It`ll be here any minute."
And as if on cue, a giant pine tree suddenly appeared in the hall with Lucifer dragging it my its trunk.
"Holy..." Quinn stared in complete bewilderment as the devil easily pushed the tree up into a vertical position.
"So any plans on how we`re going to hold it straight?" he asked as it tipped and leaned to the side, his hands the only thing keeping it from falling over.
"Well actually I didn`t think it`d be that big.." I muttered "Can`t you put a spell on it?"
He shrugged and muttered a few words, then slowly backed away smiling as it held in place.
"Anything else you need?" he asked "Now like I`ve got anything better to do then slave away to your will."
"Yeah go get changed then come back in an hour." I replied a little sassily.
"What`s wrong with this?" he glanced at his usual attire.
"It doesn`t exactly scream jolly and cheerful." I replied.
"Pfft please, this is jolly and cheerful as it gets...?" he rolled his eyes then disappeared.
"Erm Ella..." Quinn finally spoke.
"Yeah?" I continued hanging the mistletoes.
"What just happened?" she said slowly "How`d he find us? Why did he bring a tree? Why are you so calm? What`s going on!?"
"Chill." I slid down the ladder and headed towards the ornaments box "You said we should invite all our favourite characters, and besides I kind of bumped into him while shopping so we erm.. caught up?"
"It was one thing inviting Crowley." she seemed pissed "But the devil? Really? Are you kidding me Ella..."
"He`s not going to hurt anyone I promise." I was feeling a bit guilty now "He`s changing Quinn, you told me yourself that Crowley said it was fixing him. Isn`t that a good thing? If you had a chance to save him, wouldn`t you?"
"Are you sure you`re saving him?" she frowned "He`s just using you Ella..."
"He knows about the amulet too, but he`s still here. Don`t you see? He wants to be saved, he won`t admit it, but deep down I know he misses when everything was perfect."
"Okay fine..." Quinn sighed "I trust you, just please be careful."
"Always." I smiled in relief "I`m going to go wrap up the presents, mind hanging the ornaments?"
"Sure thing." she was smiling now too "Better hurry though, almost party time."
Quinn
As soon as Ella left, I pulled out my phone and called Sam.
"Hey Quinn?" he greeted me.
"Is Dean with you?" I asked quickly.
"Yeah why-"
"Put the phone on speaker." I ordered and he did.
"Hey Quinny?" I could hear Deans voice now and I rolled my eyes at the nickname.
"Umm about the guests..." I said sheepishly "We may have invited someone you guys aren`t too fond of..."
"It`s Crowley isn`t it?" Dean grumbled.
"Well he`s invited too." I replied "But that`s not who I meant."
"Then who is it?" it was Sams voice now.
"Well you see..." I stalled a little.
"Quinn...?" Sams voice was low "Tell us."
"Lucifer." I answered quickly.
"..."
Lucifer C:
Lately everything`s falling into place. Well almost everything, there was still the whole apocalypse thing which I hadn`t even gotten started on. And frankly I wasn`t even concerned about it, I`m sure I`d figure it out when time comes. For now I was walking through a store searching for something: jolly and cheerful. Which was apparently hard to find, in the end I just gave up and bought a Santa Claus hat. Imagine Ellas expression when she sees me in all my glory topped off with a fluffy red and white hat.
Speaking of which, don`t people get each other presents on Christmas? Hmm this could be fun after all...
Ella
I was a little nervous as I stepped into the hall, now wearing a short red dress bordered with white while my hair done up all nice by Quinn. She was already chilling by the tree and apparently hitting it off with Crowley who just smiled charmingly. Kevin was also there, but he was standing all the way across the room with a glass of eggnog. Garth was beside him, and by the looks of it was telling a story, but Kevin didn`t seem to be listening, instead he was staring at Crowley with a mix of fear and dread. Jody Mills and Charlie were there too, the two were filling their plates at the buffet and talking on about something. Sam and Dean were laughing about something at the center of the room, and Castiel was listening in with a confused expression.
Anyways, it seemed a certain guest wasn`t here, so I quietly made my way over to Quinn who smiled.
"Hey Quinn." I said nervously.
"Oh good you`re here." Quinn smirked then glanced at Crowley "Could you please go grab me some holy water? The British ex king of hell is annoying the shit out of me."
"Oh please, love." Crowley rolled his eyes "As if you aren`t enjoying it."
Quinn raised an eyebrow but continued to smirk then glanced at me: "Your guest here yet?"
"Guess not." I glanced around then noticed a small cut on the side of Crowleys head.
"What`s that?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It`s impolite to stare, love." Crowley muttered, looking a bit embarrassed "Let`s just say a certain narcissistic, irritating, bossy, son of a-"
"Ahem."
Wide eyed, Crowley slowly turned around to see Lucifer staring down at him with his arms folded. And to my amusement the devil was wearing a Santa Claus hat.
"I was talking about myself of course..." Crowley said quickly, smiling innocently.
"Well you left out short then." Lucifer replied calmly then glanced around the room to see that everyone had gone silent and was staring at him with mixed emotions. Sam and Dean looked like they were ready to jump into action at his slightest move, while Castiel grimaced and the others now tried to avoid eye contact.
"I bought presents?" Lucifer said with a hopeful smile, then snapped his fingers and a stack of boxes appeared by the tree.
"I think I`ll go talk to Kevin..." Crowley began to back away "he`s adorable when he`s shuddering in fear."
"It`s going to be a long night..." Quinn muttered "I`ll go put some music on."
"And you say I`m not jolly and cheerful?" Lucifer muttered, glancing at the unwelcoming crowd.
"Well what do you expect?" I shrugged "You did start an apocalypse a few years back, plus you don`t have the best history with these folks and to top it all off you`re the devil."
"Well aren`t you a supportive ray of sunshine." he folded his arms.
"Honesty." I smirked innocently "But I`m proud, at least you decided to show up."
"Yeah, lucky me." he replied.
"So." I glanced at the boxes, deciding to change the subject "Got me anything?"
"You`ll have to find out." he challenged, and so I walked over to the boxes, peering at the first one. There was a series of words written on it with black marker: the older but shorter alcoholic; I figured that meant Dean. I picked it up to see the next one was for Sam, and the one under it for Cas. Willingly I picked up all three and headed towards the guys who still seemed a little unsettled about the satanic presence in the room.
"Okay so I`m really curious to see what he got you guys." I said as I passed each of them a box "Mind opening them?"
"I don`t think so..." Sam grumbled.
"Oh come on guys." I pleaded "He`s not going to hurt anyone... tonight?"
"He`s the damn devil for a reason." Dean scowled.
"Well luckily for you..." Lucifer walked up behind me now "I took a fake pledge tonight, you`re all safe in the name of Christmas spirit? Just open the damn boxes."
Castiels eyes flashed with fear and he immediately obeyed, tearing into the wrapping and pulling out a small container.
"I do not understand..." the angel muttered, looking at the container.
Furrowing his eyebrows at the container in Castiels hand, Dean also dug into his box and then scowled: "Really? What the hell is this for?"
Sam looked like he was trying to hold back a bit of laughter, then carefully opened his own box. His smile faded and he gave Lucifer a pathetic look.
"What did he get you guys?" I asked curiously, trying to get a good look at the cans in their hands.
"Freaking hair spray." Dean muttered.
"Yeah..." Lucifer smirked "You guys manage to keep your hair all sleek and styled all the time, thought I`d lend a hand. Personally I prefer au natural." he ran a hand through his own dirty blonde hair. The guys seemed a little annoyed, while Castiel seemed fascinated as he looked at the can from different angles.
"No present for me?" I pretended to look offended.
"One more box over there." he gestured toward a remaining box in front of the tree. Curiously I headed towards it, and considered opening it right away but then instead handed it toLucifer who looked confused.
"Hold that for a sec." I said then picked up a different box and headed over to Quinn.
"Merry Christmas?" I smirked at her and she seemed genuinely surprised as she ripped through the wrapping. It was a sleek dagger with holy symbols carved onto it, I had gotten the dagger from a hunting store and Dean helped me carve in the symbols.
"Sweet." Quinn smirked at it "Now I have three."
"What?" I blinked at her, did she say three?
"Dean and Sam got me knives too." she replied then pulled two other blades from her belt loop.
"Pretty sure mines is more fabulous." I said as I compared the daggers.
"If you say so." she shrugged but smiled.
Soon everyone was checking around for presents. Quinn had gotten Dean a new chain, not to replace his old one, but just so he`d have a little bit of her. For Sam she bought a set of classic novels, which he appreciated and accepted. I on the other hand got Dean a doctor sexy M.D. poster for his room and Sam a watch. And to everyone's amusement, Crowley got Sam these reindeer antlers and Dean these chipmunk ears, which they both promised to burn.
To Castiels surprise he had gotten two other presents too. From me and Quinn a new beige trench coat and to my amusement a porn magazine from Dean, which Castiel seemed very confused to have received.
Once everyone else had their fill, I finally decided to open my own. From Quinn I got a much needed phone cover with headphones to match. And from both Sam and Dean I had gotten knives, guess they`re not as creative when it comes to presents. But the most anticipated present for me was the one I had gotten from Lucifer, who by the way was still standing were I left him: my present in hand.
"Finally my turn?"he commented as I began to unwrap it.
"Best for last." I winked at him and he smiled.
To be honest I had no idea what it could be, and the anticipation was driving me crazy. So without much control I ripped through the Christmas themed wrapping paper and pulled the boxes lid off. At first it seemed like a long silver chain but then at the end I noticed a large shining pink gem that glowed vividly in my palm.
"Whoa..." I muttered, staring at it with newfound fascination. I wasn`t much for jewellery but this was one hell of a present, especially considering who it was from "What type of gem is this?"
"Oh, it`s just this little thing called the pink star diamond." he shrugged innocently and I raised an eyebrow at that name, it sounded familiar "Thought you could wear it with your other chain."
"Not to pry but..." I held it gently in between my fingers "How much did it cost?"
"Around 83 million dollars?" he shrugged "Rip off if you ask me though, it doesn`t even change colour like those other ones."
My eyes widened a little at that number, and I was pretty sure I was about to faint again, but I wasn`t going to risk dropping the chain.
"I can`t have this..." I began to say.
"Not taking no for an answer." he took the necklace from my hand and turned me around so my back was to him "Besides I can`t get a refund."
I didn`t really know how to respond so instead I kept quiet as his fingers gently grazed my neck as he pulled the necklace into position, over my chest. In a few seconds he had locked it into place. I glanced downwards at it, it practically put my other chain to shame.
"Well this practically makes my present worthless." I mutter, folding my arms.
"What present?" he looked at me curiously.
"Oh, I got you something too." I said bluntly.
"Really?!" he seemed as excited as a little boy on Christmas morning.
"Yeah..." I head back to the tree with him behind me and pull out the only remaining present from under it.
"I`ve never gotten a present before..." he said coyly "What is it?"
"Well I couldn`t decide between the bible or a rosary." I tease and he rolls his eyes as I hand it to him. Waiting excitedly for him to open it, but before he could Quinn headed over to us.
"It`s snowing outside." Quinn said excitedly "We`re heading outside, you coming?"
"We were having a moment..." Lucifer muttered, scowling at Quinns interruption.
"Oh um sorry?" Quinn seemed a little scared but then recovered her smile "I`ll be outside with the others if you need me Ella."
As she left I realized that the room was practically empty now, guess everyone had gone to see the snow, which means I`m alone with the devil... and for some reason I`m excited about that? Great.
"Open it." I finally said, and Lucifer slowly unwrapped it, taking care not to damage the box as he pulled off the lid. He seemed fascinated as he pulled out a slick black T- shirt with the bold white words: Of course I`m going to hell, I own the place printed on it.
"I think I like your present better." he commented, smiling genuinely.
"Great, it only cost me seven dollars." I mutter but manage to smile as well "There`s something else too."
Curiously he dug into the box and pulled out a small sleek bluish gray stone with the words Faith carved into it. He raised an eyebrow.
"It was two bucks and I thought it was funny." I shrug innocently "Anyways we better get outside, the others are probably going to think you murdered me or something."
Before I could move, Lucifer placed a hand on my shoulder; holding me firmly in place.
"What are you doing...?" I ask slowly, realizing he wasn`t letting go.
Instead of answering, his eyes travelled upward and I followed them to see a mistletoe hanging above us. I`m going to kill Quinn after this.
"I may be a bit rusty." he smirked "But according to Christmas tradition..."
"If two people are caught under a mistletoe, they`re supposed to kiss." I finish for him, blushing a bit in embarrassment as he kept an innocent smile "But we don`t have too..." I argue "It`s just a silly custom."
"Who are we to break ancient tradition?" his smile turned devilish "Besides did you know that mistletoes are suppose to ward off evil spirits?"
"So much for that..." I mutter "But we don`t-"
Before I could finish the sentence, one of his arms wrap around my waist pulling me against his chest while the other one caresses the back of my head. Instantly alarm bells rang in my head, but I ignored them as I felt his rather cold lips lock with my eccentric ones. The kiss was forceful but gentle at the same time, I knew I wouldn`t be able to pull away but at the same time I didn`t want too. Soon I was giving into it, and before I knew it a warm sensation was taking me over. It didn`t last long though, it felt as if only a few seconds had passed as he pulled away, and I felt myself wanting more.
"Does this mean I`m going to hell?" I asked suddenly and he laughed.
