"Jenna, don't go far! Isaac, look out for your sister!" Natalie said as she kept talking to another mom, Isaac was quick to ditch his sister as he ran away with his playmates, Jenna walked to a place where she could play alone with her toys, she felt sad and lonely, No one wanted to really play with her and she was 'okay' with that

"Hi" a girl said, Jenna looked up at her, "Hi" Jenna said smiling "Can i play with you?" the girl asked, Jenna nodded happily scooting over so she could sit down "What's your name?" Jenna asked, the girl grabbed a barbie looking at it "Lucifer, what about yours?" Jenna's eyes widened as she looked up at the girl in front of her "Like the devil?" She whispered almost covering her mouth not believing someone would have that name, the girl giggled, nodding "Yes...my dad is crazy right?" Jenna nodded quickly handing her a brush "Mines Jenna, Jenna Marie Ortega nice to meet you" Lucifer's heart warmed smiling as she wiggled a barbie in front of her " Nice to meet you Jenna Marie Ortega" making it seem as the barbie spoke to her making Jenna giggle. 

Jenna even though she was small, she felt really happy with this person

"I'm sorry Jenna i have to go" the girl said, Jenna frowned, shaking her head quickly "Don't go or you could sleep over!" She said happily with a huge smile, The angel smiled softly at her grabbing her hand intertwining their pinkies
"I wish i could but Jenna i promise one day " Jenna pouted looking down

"MOM!!! Jenna's talking with her imaginary friend again!!" Isaac shouted
"AM NOT!!" "ARE TOO!" "AM NOT!!"

"Isaac that's enough, leave your sister alone"

Jenna turned to continue playing with her new friend, who was sadly gone making her very sad, leaving an empty feeling, she threw the barbie as she pouted making her way to her mom crying

"Jen, baby what's wrong?" Natalie asked frowning, Jenna could only cry not saying a word..

The angel could only stare at them feeling very sad as well.

As Jenna grew up, the angel would visit her from time to time to make sure she was alright, since their feelings were connected, Lucifer could tell when Jenna was feeling that void in her chest, when she would get close or visit her it would calm down, Jenna always had her guardian angel taking care of her.

"The devil, Satan! ...is among us but no! We will not surrender to him! God is our lord and savior who is here to protect us!" Jenna looked at the pastor in admiration nodding, it was Sunday, which meant church for the Ortega's, the lord's day, Jenna heard someone scoff, there was a girl, she frowned she's never seen her, she must be new, she looked annoyed, The girl could feel her eyes on her who quickly looked at her

"Why do they always assume the devil is a he?" She said frowning at Jenna, who looked surprised, the question getting to her, she was right, did the Devil even have a gender?? Just as she was about to answer the girl she was no longer there making her frown, She couldn't even really see her face, maybe she was just a random person.

"Mom is...." She looked around almost like she was telling an important secret: "Is Satan a girl or a boy?" She whispered, her mother giggled softly at her daughters question shaking her head, kids could ask random questions like this out of nowhere "I don't really know i think it can be whatever it wants, a girl or a boy but it's goal is to be evil and mean" Jenna nodded, it made sense, plus her mother would never lie to her she believed "Lucifer may never come in to your hearts with this prayer follow me brothers and sisters!"

Jenna quickly pulled on her moms shirt again who crouched down at her "Mom! My friend is named Lucifer like the devil" Natalie looked at her with wide eyes as she looked around, hoping no one heard her daughter.

On the drive back Jenna blocked out her siblings who were talking very loudly, staring out the window. She frowned for some reason having the idea that the devil wasn't actually bad, why? She shook her head, shutting her eyes, she loved being so much in her head sometimes, the things she'd imagined sometimes felt so real to her, she loved being in her head.

"I'm going to my room!" Jenna shouted happily, finally she had her own room, Aliyah now had to share her room with Markus, who thought Jenna having her own room was unfair, She frowned, noticing the window was open. She shut it as she got ready for bed.

3:00 a.m

Jenna woke up feeling cold, she frowned as she squinted her eyes a bit frowning, the window was open? "What the..?" She said barely awake, she remembered she closed it, when did she open it again? She slowly shut it feeling confused, shutting her eyes again

She opened them again feeling something sit on her bed making her body feel on fire and alert, he eyes wide open feeling her body paralyze, her breath quickened as she swallowed dryly, she hugged her blanket even more, trying to convince herself she was dreaming

"You're scared" A voice in her head, but wasn't her own voice, She didn't dare to move, to scared

"Shhhh i won't harm you, sleep"  

Jenna suddenly felt calm, still frowning on why there was a voice in her head

"Who are you?" She said in her head, feeling a sense of calmness fill her, letting go of her blanket slowly, all fear going away her eyes shutting slowly, she tried to fight the sleep wanting answers

"Your too young to know, but i'm always with you"

The voice was the most softest voice she's ever head, almost like an angels voice

"Are you my guardian angel?" She asked, she felt whatever was on her bed leave her bed 

"You could say that " 

After all, Lucifer was God's favorite angel.

"Mom! My guardian angel came to me in my sleep!" Jenna said excitedly, Natalie hummed making an amused face "Really?" Jenna nodded happily, them being very Christian and firm believers never questioned their children when they would say things like that

"What did your angel say?" Natalie asked curiously facing her daughter, feeling a happy her daughter was a firm believer 

"That i'm too young to know but they're always with me" Natalie frowned, Too young? What is that supposed to mean? She felt a bit concerned Jenna out of all her children would say stuff like this most of the time hoping she would grow out of it, when she was little she'd have this imaginary friend, and Jenna may not remember but she has told her this before, Someone comes in her dreams and talks to her

"And how did that make you feel ?"

"I felt so calm mom, i fell asleep again" She said leaving to the living room with her siblings, She was awake?? Lord protect her child... 



What did the devil do in her free time?

She didn't know, She'd blackout from time to time not knowing what happened or what she did, she had an idea, she knew her father was reason of that happening, she assumed it was to be evil and make mankind pay in some sort of way, She would lose control of her self, she tried to control it but at the end she never could
The demons from the demon realm or know as the underworld, and mostly known as Hell, looked up to her and respected her, She didn't know why, She wondered if the things she did blacked out were that terrible 

But it was her home, she did feel loved and welcomed by the creatures that lived there, She was glad that no matter what, they accepted anything, no rules no nothing, unless she said so and they would be okay with that, she was their God

And she liked that.
