Althea got to her feet in an instant. Moonpie jumped onto her shoulder and hissed yet again ready to attack the monster before him. She knew something was wrong, she just wasn't expecting that Lucifer took control of one of the servants. She hadn't seen that coming. And she thought she'd be safe and sound. How the hell had he found her?
"Now, dear niece, don't be so frightened," Lucifer chuckled.
The once Gray eyes of Adam now changed to the bright red and evil eyes of Lucifer.
"What's the matter?" Lucifer smirked. "Cat got your tongue?"
Moonpie yowled in anger ready to attack. Althea summoned her dagger to her hand as it solidified.
"Well I'll be, I see that you learned a few things," Lucifer said. "How about we drop the fighting and try talking,"
"Why would I talk with a fallen angel?" Althea asked.
"You better give him some respect girl!" Mammon exclaimed.
Althea glared at him as Lucifer narrowed his eyes at his brother before turning back to Althea.
"Why don't you give up?" Jennifer asked. "There's one of you, and three of us,"
Althea ignored her banter as the cat yowled more and leapt from Althea's shoulder attacking Lucifer in the face and scratching at him. Lucifer yelled as he attempted to get the cat off his face. Seeing her chance, Althea took off, the cabin was close to the river and she didn't want to endanger anyone over there. Behind her she could hear Lucifer scream to get her.
The next thing she knew, Moonpie was running by her side. A smile crept on Althea's face as she had been glad that the cat was by her side. It made her believe that she may have found her spirit animal.
Lucifer hated cats, he hated Althea even more. The bitch was nothing more than a damn pawn that his dear brother created. With the cat off his face he compiled himself and just when he thought he could go after Althea, a loud growl came out of nowhere. Lucifer stumbled back as two large wolves were approaching him. Standing between them was Althea's best friend, Abigail.
"You..." Lucifer glared.
"Hey there Lucy, I couldn't help but notice you were trying to attack my best friend," Abigail said. Dead seriousness in her voice. "Therefore I cannot let you go after her,"
"And what are you and your damn mutts going to do?" Lucifer seethed.
"This," Abigail said. "Girls, chase him,"
The wolves growled and ran at him. Lucifer, unable to react quick enough, ran for it. Sure this was probably the most embarrassing part of his first few hours in his new body, but one angel versus spirit animal wolves was not on his list. How his siblings could laugh at him. Lucifer had to think about how he was going to ditch his pursuers. Mainly expecting something else. Surely, this wasn't the girl's plan.
He had spoken too soon as Abigail appeared in front of him, her katana unsheathed.
"You really think you can beat me? Alone?" Lucifer stated. "Don't make me laugh!"
Althea yelled for her friend but she had already chased after him. The cat had bought them enough time for her to figure out her next moves. She needed to talk to Michael. Especially since Lucifer had called her niece. Everything was starting to fall down hill. She wasn't prepared to accept her fate. So when her friend jumped in to save her hyde there was no way she could let Abigail fight against Lucifer herself.
"Going somewhere bitch?" Jennifer chuckled.
Althea stopped and turned toward the witch.
"Stay out of my way," Althea warned.
"Or you'll do what?" Jennifer laughed. "Kill me?"
Jennifer lifted her arms and sent a force flying toward Althea. Althea hit the tree and groaned. Her Spiritual weapon vanished from her hands so she was unarmed. Moonpie hissed however, Jennifer kicked the cat away.
"Get away, beast," Jennifer ordered. "You know Althea, I hadn't been expecting to come across you at a weakened state,"
Althea pushed herself to her feet and grabbed a large branch. Jennifer laughed at the sight. Especially since Althea hadn't done much of anything. Right off the bat, Jennifer attacked her yet again. Only this time, Althea was able to put up a fight. She fought back swinging the branch at Jennifer ready to strike her in the head. Jennifer evaded it and used a levitating spell to send the branch against a tree. Of course, this was part of Althea's plan. With Jennifer distracted, this was her chance to summon her weapon. The dagger appeared in her hand and solidified. Jennifer turned and saw the blade had reappeared.
"I guess you do have some fight in you," Jennifer said and looked at Mammon. "I can handle this bitch, you go after Peter and those angels,"
Mammon smirked and took off from the fight. He didn't quite care too much for Peter in fact, Peter was nothing more than a twig in the mud. Easy to break. All he needed to focus on however was none other than the angels. They were going to be Lucifer's main threat. Mammon walked through the forest, his senses were on high alert and he was so ready to attack anything that got in his way.
"I know you're here," Mammon mocked. "No way you can escape me, after all, what are you going to do to me?" he continued. "You aren't as strong as me especially after you have lost your angelic abilities, Ezra,"
A twig snapped, Mammon turned in the direction that he assumed the noise came from. Turning on his heels, Mammon walked toward the sound. Suddenly he found himself deep in the forest as the sound of a Sword being unsheathed came from behind him as well as a dagger.
Mammon turned around slowly coming face to face with not only Ezra but also with Archangel Michael. In his mind's eye he knew that something like this would happen. How else would you be able to explain all that's been around. Mammon knew the risks, but all he cared about was to kill Ezra and take Althea for his brother. But with Michael standing in the way, there would end up being a big fight. Something that he'd been waiting for a long time.
"Really, Brothers, why would you decide to attack me?" Mammon questioned. "I'm the prince of hell after all,"
"We wouldn't be attacking you if it hadn't been for your stupidity," Michael warned. "You caused this to happen, summoning Lucifer after I sealed him away," he continued. "Now you'll have to answer to me, you good for nothing skunk bag,"
"Skunk bag? Really?" Mammon rolled his eyes before turning toward Ezra. "And how do you feel? Ezra? You've seen what it's like to be human, you should be thanking me instead of attacking me,"
