Nightmares

Plot.
Lucifer has a nightmare.

Major Angst warning!

Blinking his eyes open he took a deep breath and a sigh, something felt off but he couldn't figure out what it was, looking around the room he didn't notice anything different besides the air having a different feel, but that could be a number of things. Sitting up in bed with a yawn he stretched out some before swinging his feet over the edge of the bed and grabbing his robe and putting it on, walking over to the door he opened it and looked around. No lights, smoke in the air and the fire engulfing the hallway. He blinked for a moment as he shut the door and rubbed his eyes before opening the door and looking back down the hallway at the raging fire. Moving back to his room and grabbing his pants and a shirt he hastily threw them on before running out of the room.
"Alastor!" He called out as he ran down the hallway to Al's room and started pounding on the door. It took a moment before it opened to a rather annoyed Alastor.
"My dear, we agreed to keep this quiet and only a few times a week, we just did it last night" he said with a sigh of annoyance due to being woken up from his slumber. He yelped some as Lucifer grabbed his shirt and yanked him down and pointed at the hallway where the fire was.
"Oh" was all he got from him.
"Help me get the others" he said before taking off down the hallway towards the stairs, no power so no Elevators. Heading down to the next floor he quickly moved and got to pentious room, while Alastor headed on towards Angel's and huskers floor. Getting back to the stairwell they made there way towards Charlie and vaggies room, the others didn't stop as they continued down to the lobby as Lucifer yanked the door open to the floor from the stairway only to be blown backwards from the fire, the hallway was fully engulfed being one of the first floors to get attacked.
"CHARLIE!" He cried out as he tried to walk through the flames to the room only to get a few burns and his shirt catch on fire. He yelped as he was grabbed and pulled backwards out of the hallway and away from Charlie's room, watching the door grow farther away as he was almost halfway to it.
"No, let me go!" He cried out as kicked against the floor trying to get traction.
"Lucifer lets go!" Alastor shouted as he drug Lucifer back into the stairwell and out of the fire.
"I have to get to her!" He cried out while trying desperately to get free.
"She's in there!"
"She's gone Lucifer! She's gone!' Alastor shouted as he slammed the door shut once back in the stairwell and away from the fire at the moment.
"W..we have to get to her! We have to save her!" He yelled back while trying to break free of his grip. He had just gotten back into Charlie's life, it couldn't end like this, he couldn't loose her!
"Lucifer we have to get out of here, she's gone I'm sorry, but we will be to if we don't move!" He said as he started to drag Lucifer down the last section of stairs and Into the lobby, all while lucifer was still trying desperately to get back to Charlie and vaggies room. The lobby wasn't much better then the 1st floor, perhaps even worse. The smoke was so thick he could barely see where he was going, relying on his memory of the layout. Alastor had gotten close to the door when he heard the ominous sound of the roof creaking above his head, feeling Lucifer struggling in his grip he wasted no time deciding as he picked up the short king and threw him as hard as he could before the roof came down on top of him.
Lucifer sat there on his knees as he watched the hotel crumble and fall down infront of him as the fire ravaged the structure to the point of failure. He had failed to get his family and friends out, he had watched them get caught up in the fire, he had been thrown outside as Alastor had sacrificed himself to save his king. Staring at the hotel he didn't know how to react, his body sat there frozen and unable to move, to the point he didn't hear the sounds of heels clicking along the walkway behind him.
"You never learn do you Luci" a voice called out to him.
"I warned you what would happen if you tried, but you didn't listen to me" it said as it walked around him slowly, taunting him.
"Look at me" she ordered as she grabbed his face and forced him to look at her.
"You was born to fail..you was born to be alone" Lilith spat out with a cruel smile. She had been told to take care of Charlie to stay in heaven, but taking everything away from Lucifer without taunting him, there was no fun in that. She shoved him down to the ground before she scoffed at him and turned to leave.
"W...why" she heard before stopping and turning back around.
"W..why would you do this..to me..t.to..our daughter!" He cried out now as he looked at her before she merely laughed at his question.
"You have all of eternity to think about it. But please, do let me know when you figure it out" she said taunting him more and turned around again. Lucifer stared at her as his fist clenched before getting up.
"Dont play games with me!" He shouted out at her now.
"You just killed everyone I love, there isn't a safe place for you to stand!" He said as his eyes turned red as she merely looked over her shoulder.
"The games are only beginning" she said with a smirk before vanishing. Before Lucifer could even act he quickly sat up in bed breathing heavily, his body was covered in sweat and his breathing was eractic and all over as he was nearly panicking. Everything had felt so real, it had seemed real. Looking around the room everything seemed fine, throwing his covers off he didn't even bother changing out of his robe as he took of down the hall to alastors room and opened the door, looking inside to see the radio demon himself sleeping soundly on the bed, taking off to the next room he checked on Sir pentious. And all the others, letting out a shaky breath as he gently closed Charlie's door. Heading back towards the stairs he failed to notice that someone else was following him though, to lost in his own thoughts
Sitting up on the roof top with his feet hanging off the side of the hotel, he stared at the city down below him, his creation that hadn't went they way he planned, he wanted people to be happy, be able to make their own decisions in life and all it did was cause pain and suffering for them all. He was brought from this as he heard someone sitting down beside him, looking over he saw Angel there.
"Angel..what are you doing up here?" He asked a bit confused as Angel looked back at him.
"I could ask you the same thing" He asked as Lucifer looked away a little.
"I dont want to talk about it"
"And what's this It thing your referring to?" Angel hasn't really ever talked to lucifer. Sure they've had some conversations but never actually talked, mainly just to pass some time or clear the awkward silence. But one thing Angel did know was Charlie took heavily after her father, and he knew Charlie, especially her knack of suppressing her feelings and hiding it from others so they wouldn't worry about her and focus on themselves.
"Nothing is wrong" he said as he crossed his arms now and kicked his feet a little.
"You know I'm not gonna judge you or anything Lucifer, I'm your friend" Angel said while lucifer mumbled something out.
"What are you even doing up here?" He asked now as Lucifer sighed some but didn't say anything, Angel could tell something was bothering him, he has been in that point many times, more then he would like to admit.
"Just...on lookout" he finally said after a bit of silence.
"Lookout for what?"
"Anything that would hurt you" he said softly while looking up at the stars now. Angel looked up there with him and was connecting the dots a little.
"You mean heaven coming down here?"
"Something like that" he said as bit softer. Not wanting to reveal what his dream was really about, he sat there for a bit wondering how long Angel was going to sit there.
"I get nightmares to you know" Angel said as he looked up at the stars with Lucifer.
"About loosing my friends, not being able to protect them and feeling like a failure" he said softly as Lucifer looked over at him.
"Its the reason I'm up at this hour myself" he said with a soft chuckle trying to hide his sad expression.
"Would you, wanna talk about it?" Lucifer asked now trying to be supportive about it.
"I'll share mine if you share yours" Angel said, he wasn't going to let Lucifer sneak out of this and suffer alone. He watched as the king sat there for a moment thinking, wondering if he was gonna accept.
"It was lilith..." he finally said after a moment of silence.
"She..she took away everything from me, I woke up to the hotel on fire and tried to get everyone out, I tried to get to Charlie but I...I failed, I was thrown out the doors and watched as the hotel crumbled..I was the only one to get out" he said in a broken town while reliving that horrifying nightmare. He jumped a little when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"That sounds like a rough one there short king" Angel said as he wasn't really sure what to even say, he never knew how to comfort people, that was what husker was good at.
"My nightmares are similar to that...except instead of Lilith it's Valentino, I fail to protect everyone and no matter what I do I always fail to stop Valentino, its the same nightmare every time just in different places" he said sadly.
"I could help with that you know" Lucifer mentioned now as he was trying to distract his own thoughts.
"As much as I appreciate the offer...this is something I must deal with on my own, I got myself into this mess" Angel said after taking a breath.
"Besides, who would be there to help you through yours then" he said with a bit of a smile which lucifer returned.
"Thank you Angel"
"Dont mention it short king" The two of them sat on the rooftop for a while just talking about whatever came to mind, helping the other not think of why they was there in the first place.
