Lucifer C:
Ella was once again talking to Gabriel as she finished up breakfast, but thankfully the burning sensation I felt last time was no longer there. My mind was pretty relaxed actually, it knew there was nothing to worry about. From what I could hear, they were talking about celebrities, no not talking, but arguing about which is a better pop singer: Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. Honestly I had no idea who either of them were so I didn`t pay them no mind, instead I opened up the cabinets and searched for the cup I had left there.
I finally found it next to a jar of Nutella, wait didn`t Ella say we were out of that? Damn, she`s been holding out on me... It`s a bit amusing how much of a devil she could be sometimes, which I know is ironic coming from me; but still true. Closing the cabinet with a simple roll of my eyes, I turned to the small table against the kitchen wall, placing the cup down in front of her and catching both Gabriel and her attention.
"Is that the-" Gabriel began but I easily interrupted with a simple: "Yup."
"How`d you get your hands on that?" my brother asked on "Didn`t it go missing all those centuries ago?"
"Pfft, I`m the one who stole it all those centuries ago." I confessed and the look he gave me was somewhere between disbelief and awe.
"What is it?" Ella finally asked, probably feeling a little excluded.
"The frigging holy grail." Gabriel stated before I could, and her eyes widened a little.
"Holy shit." she muttered "You mean the... the actual... no way."
"Yeah, yeah, it`s a miracle." I smirked a little, snapping my fingers and causing a fair amount of water to pool inside the cup "Take a sip."
"But... why?" she looked up at me.
"Because." I answered matter-of-factly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world "I don`t wanna... lose you."
"Aw, this is adorable." Gabriel grinned, leaning forward on the table "Couldn`t you guys have met a few millennia's ago? Imagine all the drama we could`ve avoided. The Black Plague, The Crusades, World War I-"
"Wasn`t he in the cage during the war though?" Ella asked randomly.
"Yeah, but he still managed to speak to his demons, giving `em orders and getting them to manipulate the right people." Gabriel explained.
"But how`d he cause the Crusades?" she continued.
"He appeared as an 'angel' to the right people and convinced them that it was what God wanted." Gabriel shrugged.
"Alright, sheesh." I finally cut in "No one's perfect, everyone makes mistakes..."
"I don`t know if I`d call causing the most tragic events in history a mistake..." Ella trailed off "But anyways, this... thing." she glanced at the cup almost dreadfully "What`s it going to do?"
"Well." I replied, grateful at the change of subject "It-"
"It`ll make you immortal!" Gabriel said before I could, and I shot him a glare but he still continued "If memory serves, you won`t age but you can still die. So you`ll stay young but you can still be killed; which means don`t jump off a roof thinking you can fly."
"Well there goes my plans for the evening." she joked before glancing back at me with a more serious expression "What if I... don`t wanna live forever?"
Who doesn`t wanna live forever? "Of course you do." I insisted, folding my arms.
"But..." she bit her lower lip.
"But nothing." I continued "Look, I suppose eternity can be a little scary for a human, but you won`t be alone. I`ll be with you and you`ll be with me, yeah it`s forever, but it`s forever with me." That does matter to her right? She would want to stay with me forever, wouldn`t she?
"This is so cheesy, I love it." Gabriel said, wiping away another fake tear.
"Gabriel." I turned to glare at him again "I advise you to keep from commenting, if you wanna keep your tongue that is?"
"Well since you asked so nicely." he scoffed but grew quiet.
Now my eyes were focused on Ella, waiting for her reply. She just sat there though, staring down at the cup nervously. Personally, I wouldn`t mind forcing the water down her throat, but I would prefer for her to willingly accept it. I needed her to stay by me, I couldn`t go back to the way things used to be. Before her, everything was so dull, my life was a void of love and emotion; the only thing I cared about being vengeance. Every moment of my being was determined to destroy my father's creation; to prove how flawed they were, to prove I was better.
Ever since the day I was cast out, I felt betrayed. It was like someone stabbed me in the back and I was to bleed out for the rest of my existence, the sensation was almost impossible to explain. It took time, but I turned that pain, that sadness into rage, and it was that rage that fueled me. I felt so unloved, so hated, so despised, and it was all because of those pathetic humans. I did some terrible things, I know I did; but it was all because I wanted to prove myself right, knowing that my father would surely accept me after that. I just wanted him to love me again.
He left though, stating clearly that I didn`t matter, that no one did. The love I was so desperately craving was lost, and I knew from that moment that nothing was going to get better. I was stuck as this hollow shell of an angel forever, that was until I met her, and slowly once again I felt loved. Love that I craved for so long, finally granted to me by a human of all things. And I was not going to lose that.
"Okay." she finally sighed "But if you dare leave me alone for a century..." she scoffed, before picking up the cup.
"I won`t." I promised, smiling softly as she brought it to her lips before taking a sip.
"I don`t feel any different..." she said, placing the cup back on the table.
"You`re not supposed to feel anything." I noted "Right away..."
"What`s that mean?" she was panicking a little.
"There might be some side effects." I explained a little sheepishly.
"Why didn`t you mention that earlier?!" she demanded, now standing up.
"Because you might not have taken it then."
"You think?" she scoffed "What type of side effects?"
"Headaches, visions, hallucinations and exhaustion." I listed, noting how her expression looked more panicked "But it`s all temporary, a week at tops."
"Gabriel!" she turned to him "Couldn`t you have at least warned me?!"
"Well I was going to get to it." he defended himself "But I like my tongue so..."
Before he could continue explaining himself, the front door was thrown open as Kayel walked in; panting.
"Where`ve you been?" Gabriel asked his friend who was now leaning on the wall for support.
"Walking..." he was out of breath "Crazy humans kidnapped me. Said I was their son, kept me in the house, kept on crying about how much they missed me."
"Oh that`s right." Ella smiled a little "Your vessels family must`ve thought you were... him."
"Finally got away." Kayel added before dropping.
Quinn
I was sitting at a Pizza Hut, waiting on a medium cheese with pineapples as Castiel walked in, still in his uniform. He scanned the room for me before smiling in relief as he took a seat across from me.
"Hey Cas!" I sat up straighter now "How was work?"
"Good." his smile grew "We sold four pre-made pies, twenty-three juice bottles, nine slushy's, fifteen chocolate bars, twelve bags of chips, nine magazines, twenty-nine Tylenol bottles, twenty-one water bottles, seventeen-"
"Okay, okay!" I finally stopped him, feeling slightly guilty as he frowned "That`s really impressive," I added and his smile returned at the praise "You must be great at your job."
"Indeed!" he agreed "I was unaware of the difficulties that is a human job until now."
"Is the pay good?"
"I suppose." he glanced down now, as if assessing the question "Though the man down the street of our shop still makes more money than me, I`m considering taking on his occupation instead."
"Oh? What does he do?"
"He sells something called; cocaine, I think it was."
I laughed a little, picturing Cas as a drug dealer.
"Trust me Cas." I assured him "Stick with the Gas n Sip."
"Alright." he nodded as a man brought our pizza to the table, placing it down and flashing us quick smiles before disappearing behind the counter.
"So Metatron huh?" I asked.
"Yes." the angel nodded with a sigh "I was proud, a fool to listen to him. I deserve this, don`t I?"
"No Cas." I smiled reassuringly "You`re one of the most purest, innocent and good-hearted angels in this whole freaking dimension. Trust me."
"Considering all you know of this dimension." he stated matter-of-factly "I shall, as the humans say; take your word for it. How was I anyways... I mean in your dimension?"
"Well you were actually an actor named Misha." I explained.
"Misha..." he furrowed his eyebrows "That`s a rather strange name."
"I know." I smirked "Anyways, personally I really didn`t like you." he looked disappointed "But damn, most of the fan-girls loved you. If I had to rate you on popularity, it`s probably Jensen, Jared, you then Mark Sheppard, hmm it could be Jared then Jensen though, they`re pretty close in popularity."
"Who are these people you speak off..." he furrowed his eyebrows and I felt a little stupid realizing he had no idea that I was listening actors.
"Let me rephrase." I replied sheepishly "Jensen`s Dean, Jared`s Sam and Mark`s Crowley."
"Crowley is popular." he blinked at me with disbelief.
"Sort of, yeah." I shrugged.
"The people in your world must be strange..." he shook his head doubtfully "To adore a demon..."
"Yeah, they`re crazy." I played along, then offered him a slice of pizza; which he gratefully took. Stuffing his mouth immediately, struggling to chew as I laughed a little. Once he finally swallowed, he glanced at the ground shamefully.
"Slow down Cas." I prompted "It`s not going anywhere."
He smiled sheepishly, before taking a smaller more decent bite.
"I am curious to hear how your life has been." he suddenly said while chewing.
"Well..." I trailed off with a smirk.
Ella
I wasn`t sure what was going on.
The last thing I remembered was lying on the couch with Kayel sitting on the floor in front of me; watching the food network or something. Gabriel and Lucifer where spending some much needed time together, and I didn`t wanna interfere. I really wanted to make their relationship work, after seeing the show I knew very well that Lucifer regretted 'killing' his brother. This was his second chance and I didn`t wanna mess it up.
Either way, I was pretty confused as I found myself in a dark plain room, at least I`m presuming it`s a room. The ground was layered with a sheet of thick fog, and there was an anonymous dull light giving the place a superficial glow. As I tried to make sense of my new surroundings, I noticed a tall dark form rising from the fog, it looked like throne of sorts; huge and regal but still plain black. My attention though; was on the form sitting across the throne. Both his hands were planted on the arm-rests and he was sitting with one leg over the other.
To my surprise he looked a lot like Nick, not completely identical, but he shared the same dark blonde hair and features. They looked as if they could be related. The man didn`t pay me no mind though, instead his eyes were locked on another figure, one I hadn`t noticed till now. Across the room from him was a tall red-head, but definitely no one I had seen before.
"New vessel?" she said to him, paying me no mind.
"Finally got the bastard to say yes." the man grunted "He was so skeptical."
"At least you got him in the end." she smirked "You`re after all; very skilled with that tongue."
"I`m aware of my talents." his grinned wickedly, his tone sending a chill up my spine "So tell me, has Lilith succeeded in her task?"
"I`d like to say no..." she sighed "But I`ve got to hand it to her, the bitch has skill too."
"Language." he warned "That is my second you are speaking of."
"Oh please, as if you actually care about her-"
"Abbadon." his voice was much darker now and the woman stepped back. Wait a second, did he say Abbadon?! Oh fudge.
"Sorry..." she said between clenched teeth, clearly not sorry.
"Just get on with it." he leaned back in his throne.
She gave him a challenging smile before gesturing with her hand as a new man appeared in the room with a woman behind him.
"Well done Lilith." the Nick look-alike said lazily as the new girl bowed her head before disappearing as well "You can leave too Abbadon."
"Of course." the redhead nodded, before also zapping away.
The new man looked older, his hair was grayish, almost white and thin. His skin was wrinkled and his eyes held a certain tiredness to them. He also seemed to be speaking, not aloud, but whispering to himself, praying? The man on the throne smirked rather viciously at that.
"I`ll take it you know; who I am?" he asked.
"The devil..." the older man muttered gravely before continuing his whispery prayer.
Wait, Devil? That`s Lucifer? What`s he doing here? Why`s Abbadon and Lilith here? What`s going on?!
"What gave it away?" Lucifer chuckled lightly before leaning back more comfortably in his throne "So here`s how the game works; you`re going to spend five minutes in here with me. When that time is up you`re free to go, but I assure you; you won`t last two. There is one other way you can stop me, take back your faith."
"Stop you...? From what?" the older man furrowed his eyebrows, his prayer going quiet for a minute.
"This." Lucifer replied lazily; waving a finger as the man was suddenly consumed by a ferocious white flame. I couldn`t bare to watch as the man screamed at the literally burning agony that was being inflicted on him, so instead my gaze went to Lucifer, who to my horror was grinning happily at the sight. I couldn`t just stand there, I couldn`t just let him the torture the poor man. Confidently, I stormed towards him; his gaze didn`t falter.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I demanded but he ignored me completely.
"Lucifer, I`m talking to you!" I insisted again, this time attempting to grab his arm so he`d have to look at me. Before my fingers could touch the fabric over his arms, they went through. Literally went through him. I felt like a ghost as a sudden dread consumed me; they weren`t ignoring me, they simply couldn`t see me. So then this must be a dream? There was no way this could be real...
"AGH PLEA-PLEASE!" my attention was brought back to the burning man.
"Go on." Lucifer prompted "Say it."
"TH-THERE IS N-NO GOD!" the man cried out and suddenly the flames died as he fell to the floor with a gasp, his skin looked untouched but the look in his eyes was terrified beyond belief.
"Two minutes and fourteen seconds, new record." Lucifer smirked before his glance wandered upwards "See dad; you can`t really depend on these beings, their faith and loyalty falters so easily. I broke one of your most faithful prophets, and it didn`t even take long. I was right, wasn`t I?"
There was no response to his question, the only sound in the room being the older man's ragged breathing. After another minute Lucifer scowled, his eyes returning to the man with a triumphant sigh.
"Let`s try this again?" Lucifer smirked and the man pleadingly gazed at him, the desperate look in his eyes was making my heart ache. I wanted to help him, but what could I do? This had to be a dream, he couldn`t be real, none of this is real! Right? As if on cue the area began to falter until I found myself waking up on the couch, Kayel still sitting in front of me with his eyes glued to the TV.
I didn`t bother sitting up, instead I laid there and tried to figure out what just happened. The dream was as vivid as humanly possible, and frankly it scared me. I knew the devil was responsible for some pretty terrible things, but to see him do that to a person; even in a dream, was simply unbearable. I felt scarred, and a part of me was grateful Lucifer wasn`t here right now because I was pretty sure I wouldn`t have been able to look at him without shaking.
Quietly my mind wandered back to what he had said earlier, side effects of drinking from the cup. Perhaps one of those caused the dream? Okay let`s see, what did he say: hallucinations; no I wasn`t conscious so I couldn`t have been hallucinating, headaches; my head feels fine, exhaustion; well I feel pretty well rested and... visions; oh crap.
