Heaven or Hell (Sequel to "Love or Lust")

Chapter 3:

The wind blew fiercely throughout our hair, blowing Madison's all over her face while mine just went with the flow. I chuckled as she tried to fix it, messing around with it countless of times. I watched as the sun slowly crawled back into its hidden place, allowing the moon to climb up in its place.

"So," Madison said, "sushi is a no?"

I chuckled. "Alright, it wasn't that bad, but it was pretty terrible, angel." Madison laughed quietly. I shuddered as I remembered the taste of sushi, "I honestly hated it, but I'd take you back there since you enjoyed it."

Madison blushed a bit. "You don't have to, Andy. You do so much already babe." Shock flushed across my face, and I stared at her. "What?"

"You've never really had a nickname for me.. I'm surprised you called me babe."

"Oh," She said softly. "I don't know."

I smiled and brushed a piece of hair from her face, parking the car in her driveway. She gave me a warm smile, leaning over as she kissed my cheek. I felt myself blush as well and I slid out of the car, walking around to her seat. I opened the door, guiding her out of the car with my hand as she stepped out. Our fingers laced together and we walked up to her front door, the cool air of the night dancing along our skin. She slid her key into the lock, opening it slowly as we were greeted by the complete darkness of the house. Madison flicked on the lights, scanning the room. She leaned over, finding a small note.

"Called in for work in Washington, see you in a week. XO." Madison read aloud, reading the scribbles sprawled on the small brown piece of paper. She let out a small sigh, "Alright then. Thank you for tonight, it was perfect."

I wrapped my arms around her waist, kissing her forehead softly. "You okay staying alone? I can stay the night."

She shook her head silently. "I'm fine."

"Alright," I said slowly, "Call me okay?"

Madison nodded, kissing my cheek. I smiled, scanning the room once more to make sure it was all clear, and led myself out the door. I heard the door lock behind me, and smiled in relief before entering my car. I watched as Madison shut off the lights, and drove off knowing she was safe. The wind swirled around inside of my car as I zoomed past trees and cars, begging for sleep. I turned on the radio to pass the time, my eyes still fixed on the road.

"You make me wanna die," I sang along, driving slowly down a winding road as it curved inside of the forest. My fingers tapped against the black steering wheel, going along to the beat of the song. My car drove further inside of the forest, and soon after my radio began to catch static. I groaned, leaning over and fumbling with the stupid radio. "Stupid radio, come-"

My mouth hung open with my eyes wide as I watched the color illuminating from my radio fade into unnatural colors, ending in a deep blood red. My eyebrows arched in both surprise and shock, and I slowly removed my hand from the radio, unsure as to what was happening. My eyes flickered up to the road and a loud scream escaped my lips while my hands gripped the steering wheel, spinning the car out of control. The car spun out, managing to still stay on the road as my feet slammed into the breaks. My head bashed against the steering wheel as the car came to an abrupt stop. I opened my eyes, trying to readjust as my head slowly lifted from the steering wheel. My eyes tried to scan my surroundings, and I slowly opened the door, swinging my legs out slowly. I groaned quietly in pain as I tried to stand up, holding the car to regain my balance. "Hello?"

The only answer I received was the silence of the wind. I stumbled slowly to the front of the car, balancing myself on the hood as I peered into the darkness. My body went numb with fear as I heard a loud thump! from behind, sending a small shiver. My head craned around, and even in the darkness I could see him, or shall I say it. There it stood, crouched atop of the roof of my car, it's red eyes boring into mine with its set of razor teeth bared at me, spit dripping down from them. Small hisses escaped from its pale chapped lips, and my eyes could clearly see the pale white skin clinging to its bones as it stood on all fours.

"Andrew," A female voice called from behind it, and I watched as a young blonde girl emerged from the darkness, her hand stroking the demons head. Her smug smile was plastered to her face as she continued, "it's time for you to come home, Andrew."

I clenched my jaw, "Hell is no longer my home." I growled, my fists shut tightly in anger. My eyes scanned over her, trying to process who she was. She chuckled darkly, shaking her head. "Oh Andrew," She snarled, "You're blinded. Hell is your home, and we need our leader to return home."

"Lucifer is your leader, not me." I snapped at her. She shook her head, her smile still clear on her face. "No, for Lucifer isn't as evil as the monster you are. You feel it inside, Andrew. That's your inner demon clawing at the insides of your body, begging to be released. Why keep it away?"

"Because it's not me!" I snarled, hitting my hand hard on the hood of my car. I lifted my hand from the new dent placed in my hood and sighed. My eyes looked back at her, "It's not me."

"It is Andrew," She whispered, "and if you won't see it on your own, we'll find someone who will bring it out." The girl reached inside her pocket, and my jaw dropped as I watched her pull out a small silver bracelet, and I fumbled in my back pocket. The bracelet I had made for Madison was now in the hands of the girl, and with a small cackle laugh, she dropped it and disappeared into the night, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

My fingers tapped softly against the window, trying to get her attention. I peered inside, watching her stir in her sleep as the covers ruffled around. I heard her snore softly, and I snickered to myself quietly as my feet rested on the window sill.

Open the window. My voice slid inside of her sleeping mind, causing her body to jerk awake. Madison rubbed the sleep from her eyes before turning, letting out a small scream. She stumbled out of bed, tripping over a few covers in the process as she walked to the window. Her fingers unlocked it softly, and I pulled up, sliding inside of her room. "What are you doing-"

I cut her off with a kiss, wrapping my arms tightly and protectively around her waist, pulling her close to my body. I felt her warm arms slide around my body, locking together as her lips left mine after a few moments. Madison's blue eyes cut straight through mine, down deep into my soul, a hint of worry in them. I stroked her cheek softly, kissing her forehead. "Angel," I murmured quietly, "I was worried."

She furrowed her brows. "Why? What happened, Andy." I sighed softly, and I looked up as I felt her warm finger brush against my eyebrow, "What's this? Andy, what happened!"

I brought my hand up to my eyebrow, wincing as my cold finger brushed against a small open wound. "Oh, I didn't even notice this," I whispered, returning my hands to her body, "There was an... Accident, so to speak I guess. My car spun out in the forest," Madison gasped softly, "I got out of my car to see what happened, and I spun around, coming face to face with a pure demon." Fear struck in her eyes, and I kissed her head. "There was a young woman behind it, and she said a few things to me before taking off."

"What'd she say?" Madison asked quietly, and I bit my lip hesitantly. I didn't want to repeat what she said, for it had made me feel terrible about myself ever since she said it. "Andy, what did she say to you?"

I sighed, "She said I needed to return home and that the creatures down under need their leader once again. I said that wasn't me, and," I looked away, "she said the monster I am is more powerful then the great leader Lucifer. She said my inner demon would find its way out, and she'd use you to get it out if she had to."
