May have rushed a lot but that`s because I just wanna move onto the fun stuff and get onto the plot, you`ll see what I mean later on. My 666 status is gone but oh well XD continue to leave reviews, it`ll be worth it. And just a reminder, this book is rated M for reasons, and those 'reasons' will be taking place pretty soon (basically means there`s gonna be a smut chapter soon, so don`t be surprised when it comes up) But that`s not this one so eh, have fun?
Disclaimer: So I don`t own Supernatural, but now I`m actually wondering who does...?
Enjoy my darlings C:

I couldn`t even watch. I literally had to leave the room and wait outside with hands over my ears, not that it really helped to block out Crowleys screaming. In a sense, the demon deserved it and a part of me was pleased. But no one, and I mean no one should have to be put through the torture that Lucifer was inflicting. I wouldn`t wish it upon my worst enemy, far less Crowley. The devil made it clear that he wasn`t going to kill the demon, something about Ella insisting that the important characters stay alive. But I was pretty damn sure that Crowley was wishing Lucifer would just kill him instead.
This was far worse than death.
After a moment the screaming and cursing died down and Lucifer stepped out. I couldn`t breathe as I glanced at his rather satisfied expression. This is what he truly is, the monster that is the devil; the monster that had my best friend wrapped around his finger. The monster that owed me a ride back
"Is it over?" I asked.
He didn`t even reply, instead he placed a single finger on my shoulder and I found myself back in the forest. The devil nowhere in sight, and thank the lord for that.
Ella
Kayel had just watched an hour of our recorded 'Americas got Talent' episodes, and I was sitting at the kitchen island; eating away a bowl of cereal as I watched him from the corner of my eye. Frankly, I was kind of jumpy; even though there was really nothing I could do, I was still stressing over how Lucifer would react. As if on cue, there was a light knocking at the door and my heart almost jumped out of my chest as I took a deep breath. My hands were literally shaking as I tried to think up of some explanation.
Before I could answer the door, I realized something. Since when does Lucy use the front door? He usually just zaps in without any warning, in fact I was singing along to a music video once and he just took a seat and watched me until I finished. And I almost fainted from embarrassment when I turned around to see him sitting there; smirking at me menacingly. But what I did learn from that experience is the simple fact that Lucifer never uses the front door. So this couldn`t be him.
Sighing in relief, I managed to breathe normally again.
Calmly, I walked over to the door and peered outside the eyehole. Part of me expected to see my neighbours, they were probably still missing their son and probably still freaking out. But to my surprise the face on the other side was familiar but definitely not who I expected to see. Coyly, I opened the door and the archangel smiled playfully.
"`Ello miss." he leaned against the frame "I`m here to check on the houses gas and water works, can`t be too safe after that meteor shower." he flashed me an ID card quickly and to be honest I didn`t get a good look, but it didn`t matter: I already knew who he was.
"Mind if I come in?" he added a little coyly.
"I guess?" I shrugged and he walked in immediately, his arm brushing against my side as he examined the interior "Nice place you`ve got!" he walked in a little further before locking his eyes with Kayel and faking a surprised expression "Is that you bro?"
Kayel blinked at him.
"Wow miss! Can`t believe you found this guy!" the man continued to fake his enthusiasm "I`ve been looking for him forever, we got split up during that shower. Let me take him off your hands, I know his family and everything; I`ll handle this."
Kayel just blinked at him and I managed a: "What?"
"Don`t worry about it." he replied a little too quickly, making absolutely no sense as he pulled the Kayel onto his feet and began heading towards the door.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait and wait!" I muttered, blocking their exit and glaring at the taller angel.
"Miss?" he was still smiling.
"I don`t know what you`re playing." I replied easily "But you can drop the act, whatever it is."
"Excuse me?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"I know who you are." I replied "You`re Gabriel, archangel and stuff. And that`s Kayel and he`s also an angel, you guys fell during the... fall."
"You know...?" he looked embarrassed "And I took the time to make the ID card and everything. I even had a nice back-story planned... How do you know?"
"Met your kind before." it was as honest as I could get.
"Oh..." he scratched the back of his hand.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked, a little bewildered at the fact that there were now two angels in my house, one of them an archangel. What the hell is happening?
"Kayel and me go back a bit." Gabe smirked "Sensed that old angel scent and followed it `ere to find my ole bud being held up by some human. Thought you were some clueless chic trying to help him, so I jus` wanted to take him off your hands. Plus now a day; there`s safety in numbers."
"Really?!" it was literally like an answer from heaven, with Kayel gone I wouldn`t have to worry about Lucifer overreacting. And cool I met Gabriel, win-win right? "Welp thanks for visiting, time for you to leave, this was totally random but what the hell, have fun!" I began to usher them towards the door and to my dismay Gabriel resisted a little. Oh come on you were rushing to leave a second ago...
"Hold up.." Gabriel squinted a little "There`s this weird aura... around this place..."
"Nope, not at all, you should go!" I tried to push him but he didn`t budge.
"I sensed it earlier but thought it had something to do with Kayel." he glanced at his friend who still hadn't spoken a word "But now that I`m here... it`s familiar, a little dark, a little old."
"Don`t know what you're talking about." I was a little desperate to get them out now "Now seriously, get out."
"Why the sudden rush to get rid of me hun?" he smirked a little and I just stared at him dreadfully. This wasn`t good, if he stayed too long he might realize the aura he`s sensing is Lucifers, and god knows how the archangel might react to that. Plus if he stayed too long, there`s always the chance of Lucifer returning in time to see those two and in that case...
"Hey Ella!" oh god please no "I`m back..."
I didn`t even bother turning around, knowing all too well who was behind me and knowing all too well that I just wanted to disappear at this moment. I glanced at Gabriel's face, his expression was a blur of emotions: fear, surprise, excitement, dread. Moving my gaze to the side I noted how Kayel looked far worse, the look in his eyes were the exact description of terror. I considered looking back but my body wouldn`t move, either way I had a pretty good idea of what was running through his head. The silence only continued until I finally couldn`t take it anymore.
"I`m sorry..." I sighed "I know what you`re thinking."
"Do you really?" Lucifer replied, his voice sounded pretty darn emotionless but I still didn`t turn to face him.
"Something along the lines of." I took a guess "Murder Gabe, murder the other angel, murder me?"
"I was thinking more along the lines of torture for you, but whatever floats your boat." he scoffed but I knew the humor in his voice was mocking, he was probably beyond pissed right now.
"Lucifer..." Gabriel began to say slowly.
"Gabriel..." he matched his tone.
"Satan..." Kayel piped in.
"Assorted angel." Lucifer rolled his eyes.
"Ella?" I added on a lighter note but the look he gave me made me shrink up inside.
"Okay, I can explain!" I assured him but his expression didn`t waver "Basically Kayel here." I gestured at the angel "Got injured real bad in the fall, and I just couldn`t leave him out there..." Lucifer didn`t seem to agree with that statement but I continued anyways "So I brought him inside and tried to help him out. Then Gabe here showed up searching for Kayel, so I was just showing the two of them out and here you are! So see, this really isn`t a big deal."
"Wait, wait, wait." Gabriel finally spoke "So... he lives here." he pointed at his brother "With you... a human... female?"
"Enough." Lucifer cut in before I could respond "Gabriel... how are you here? I killed... You`re dead."
"Hello, I`m a trickster, didn`t you think there was a reason behind the title?" Gabriel looked a little apologetic "Faked it."
Lucifer stood still for a moment, his arms folding tightly as his hands dug into his own skin.
"That was cruel..." the older archangel replied, his voice solemn and... hurt?
"You. Tried. To. Kill. Me." Gabriel replied with a bit of sass, taking his time with each word.
"I didn`t have a choice..." the devils eyes fell to the floor.
"Neither did I." for a moment both archangels locked gazes, neither of them speaking for a while. Awkwardly I glanced at Kayel who looked like he was about to faint at any second, and frankly I didn`t blame the guy.
"So..." Gabriel broke the silence "Are we going to have a celestial death match now?"
Once again there was silence.
"I`m sorry brother..." Lucifer finally spoke, and never in my life had I heard him apologize so sincerely "I regretted it so much, the pain was unbearable, I couldn`t bring myself to terms with it. I will not fight you."
"What does this even mean?" Gabriel looked confused again "Don`t you still want all that apocalypse crap to happen? And since when do you apologize? What... happened to you?"
In response Lucifer glanced at me coyly, and Gabriel only grew more confused before finally sighing and saying: "and you got peeved at me for falling for Kali."
"So does this mean everything's good?" I asked a little hopefully.
"I don`t know `bout good." Gabe smirked and glanced at the two of us "But I definitely wanna hear this story."
"And we`re good too, right?" this time I directed my attention at Lucifer.
"Absolutely." he smiled "not." Oh fudge... "I cannot even begin to describe." he was glaring me down no as he continued "The things I plan on doing to you." he took a step forward and I took one backwards "I leave you alone for half a day..." he trailed off for a moment "You can`t just let random angels in." he was gesturing at Kayel "I thought you saw the 'show'? Don`t you know what happens to people who do that..."
I gulped.
"Lucy, relax." Gabe stepped in and oh god I was grateful "You`re scaring the poor thing."
"I intend to do a lot more then scare her..." his voice was literally feral.
"Guys come on." Gabriel snapped his fingers and next thing I know where in the living room. I was seated on the chair while Lucifer was on the couch and Gabe stood in the center with an entertaining smile. Kayel was still by the door, and something told me he wasn`t going to move.
"So tell me a story bro." Gabriel snapped his fingers again and a posh looking beanbag appeared on the floor. Without a word he dropped into it, placing his leg over his knee. With another flick of his wrist, a small red lollipop appeared in his hand as he looked at Lucifer expectantly.
"Er.. what?" was the ingenious reply Lucifer managed to come up with before Gabriel rolled his eyes and turned on me, giving his lollipop a lick.
"Well? Don`t leave me hanging here, I wanna know what happened?" Gabe continued to smile as his playful eyes locked with my nervous ones.
"Um okay..." I decided to play along "Basically I`m from a different dimension." Gabriel already seemed to be doubting me "And I had this heavenly weapon which I accidently used to free Lucy from the cage. Turned out he needed to stay close to the weapon so he could restore himself completely." now that I think about it; our love story`s so messed up "So he did what any gentlemen would do and kidnapped me." Lucifer smirked a little at that "I guess we kind of bonded in our short time together, plus the weapon I had was restoring all his angelic qualities so he kind of had more of a heart. Some shit happened, we stuck together, it all worked out in the end and here we are."
"Cool story." Gabriel muttered then turned to Lucifer "But really; what happened?"
"Pretty much what she said." he shrugged and Gabriel glanced at us both awkwardly.
"And I thought my life was complicated." he snorted.
Once again an awkward silence ensued.
"So now what?" I asked and the archangels exchanged glances, waiting for each other to speak first.
"Well I`ve currently got Metatron on my ass." Gabriel snorted "So this was a very random and educating experience, but I`ll just... go.."
"You can stay!?" I suggested immediately and Lucifer gave me another look but I ignored it "Metatron won`t be able to find you here so you know, this is a great hiding place!"
"Aw, really?" Gabriel pretended to dry a fake tear "You`d do that for me?"
"Of course!" I grinned almost instantly, even though Lucifers expression was clearly pleading for him not too. A glance at Kayel showed the other angel wasn`t too fond of the idea either, but the two stayed quiet as me and Gabriel exchanged knowing smiles.
"It`ll be just like old times!" Gabe announced, his eyes focusing on Lucifer who scowled but didn`t say anything.
Lucifer C:
I hated this, I really did, but I chose not to say anything: for now. I`d let Ella and Gabriel have their moment, but once it`s all settled I swear I`m going to have a 'talk' with the little human. This was way too awkward, there was too much crap between me and Gabriel, and she thinks it`s a good idea to stuff us in the same house for god knows how long?
Other than that, we`ll have to have a nice long conversation about letting strange random angels into the house. Especially when she`s all alone. The brat just doesn`t seem to realize how much of a target she is, today I realized that Crowley was willing to use her against me. And the thing is, I`d follow Crowley without argument if he had Ella strung up; I wouldn`t dare put her at risk. I cared too much... as ironic as that sounds.
I just can`t help but wonder though; if the little British twit was willing to use her against me, how many others would too if they knew about our relationship?
