Chapter 2: Meeting Lucifer

We all had to get up bright and early in the morning. Doing our morning prayer, buying food and paying over the food etc. We did that every morning.

"Marie?" Ella asked. I looked up at her, smiling I answered "Yes?"

"You seem down about something" Ella frowned, moving her hand from her lap to my hand, lightly touching it, telling me that everything was okay.

"Oh," I answered slightly surprised she noticed because I had tried my hardest to keep a smile on my face all morning. "I guess I'm just scared about seeing Lucifer today".

"I would be scared to if I had to be the only one watching him at night" she answered. Everybody, except me, had an incredible ability they could use to do incredible things. They were all brought into this mission with a special purpose, but I was brought into the mission because I was good at staying up late and by good I mean; I stayed up till 1 o'clock one night and won a prize for being the last angel to fall asleep. I wasn't good in any way. I wasn't nervous about staying up late with Lucifer (I mean he was in some sort of cage; what harm could he do?). I was nervous about not being able to stay up till the early morning.

"But Marie, he is imprisoned, he won't be able to do you any harm," Ella said trying to calm me down.

"You are right, it's just me overreacting..." I said.

Ella nodded, continuing to eat. We were eating bananas and bread. It wasn't much, but it was we could afford. We didn't have time to get jobs and earn money.

"Are you ready" Henry spoke up. Before we could answer he began moving towards the car assuming we were all ready. We all followed him. He got in the front seat and started the car.

"Marie, I think you should get some sleep" Henry suggested, "you will be up all night". I nodded and laid my head against the window. It wasn't hard falling asleep because I had been kept awake most of the night. I felt myself slowly drifting away to the sound of the engine running.

A hand touched my shoulder.

"Marie?" a voice said. I opened my eyes seeing Ida sitting beside me. "We are here," she said. I immediately sat up, looking around. We were parked in front of a beach that was empty. Henry and the others were standing outside looking out.

"How long have I slept?" I asked Ida.

"Only a couple of hours" she answered. "Henry says Lucifer is close by, but we have to walk the rest of the way" I nodded and followed her out of the car.

"Are you all ready?" Henry asked.

"Yes," we all mumbled. Henry nodded making eye contact with all of us, to make sure we were speaking the truth, he then started walking.

"What do you think he will look like?" Frank asked Ella.

"I don't know... I mean he is said to be the most beautiful man in the entire world... but I don't know what that looks like"

Frank nodded "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing". We walked in silence for a while, but it wasn't long before Henry stopped. He put a hand up in the air signalling that we should stop too. "He is in there" He whispered, pointing into a large cave. "But I don't think he is alone" he continued. I tensed up. If he wasn't alone there is a good chance that it's a demon with him. A demon would be able to follow every order that Lucifer came up with and if he were to demand that it should kill us when we would be dead in seconds. Henry looked down, thinking. In the meantime, we could all hear the mumbling coming from the cave. "Marie" Henry whispered, I looked up. "You have to go in there" I took a step back widening my eyes. "What? No, why?"

"don't be scared, me, Frank and Edward are right behind you, we just need you to draw the demon out – you know keep them distracted," Henry said. All the boys nodded, thinking it was a good idea. Henry took my arm and pushed me forward into the cave. It was dark and scary but when I looked back I could see Henry and the others smiling at me. I took a deep breath before taking a few steps into the cave. I walked slowly and tried to make it soundless. The deeper I got the clearer the mumbling got. It got so clear that I could make out two voices. A female voice and a male voice, although I couldn't make out what they were saying and then the mumbling stopped. I took a few more steps into the cave before a hand grabbed my throat lifting me. It was a girl with pricing red eyes and black hair. She was beautiful and easily recognised as a demon.
