Chapter twenty;

Sobbing cos calum is cute af

I could hear a ton of voices talking over each other as if in a debacle. I was so confused as to what was going on.

I then decided to open my eyes and see michael with his eyes red and swollen with tears holding onto my hand for dear life whilst crying.

And calum was across the room sobbing on lian's shoulder.

Huh, i haven't seen her in a while. With all that was going on i never really had the time to go check up on her, or zayn, or even dad.

I hope they aren't mad at me.

And then there's ashton just wordlessly throwing shit around. His angel wings were opened and they too were helping in wrecking the place.

Then i remembered that i was dead.

Like i was.

And now i'm back.

I see ashton about to smash the cd player which had luke's mixtape inside of it, my eyes widened "ashton, stop!"

All eyes turned to me.

Michael was the first one to react, he cried even harder - didn't know it was possible - and immediately wrapped his arms around me.

"You're alive, holy shit baby girl you're alive fuck fuck."

Then ashton. His wings disappeared and he immediately engulfed me in a bear hug.

Calum also joined in and i hugged them for as long as i could, knowing that this may be the last time i'll ever do this.

"We were so worried, we thought lucifer had won."

"Wh-what do you mean?" i asked as they all retracted from the hug and wiped their tears.

"When you," calum cleared his throat "um, died, michael went rampaging to yours and luke's house only to find him gone, and a piece of paper stuck on a wall." calum hands me a paper and i turned it over to see the word animo

I stood up, took my jacket and went for its pockets searching for the other pieces of paper.

The boys followed me as i laid them on the table and arranged them.

"Amore... Tuo.. Pro... Tuo.. Animo." i mumbled.

Amore tuo pro animo tuo

The words reareanged itself in front of me.

"Your lover, for your soul." i whispered "lucifer wants me to sacrifice myself for luke."

"Sacrifice wait- you don't mean like-"

"Lucifer will erase me, put me to oblivion so even in the next world i won't interfere." i said "lucifer will erase me from this world and the next and the next entirely."

"wait, we can't let that happen, can we?" michael asks as he stares at me with a little bit of hesitation. i think he knew what my answer would be.

"we have to let it happen, there's no other way. don't worry though- i have a plan."

❁❁❁

"LUCIFER!" i said as i enter the gates of hell "SHOW YOURSELF! DON'T BE A COWARD."

i kept a tight grip on the dagger by my waist knowing that it is crucial and that i can't, in any way, shape or form, lose it. the dagger held the answer and basically it was my only ticket to killing lucifer. it was my only ticket left of living.

once i reach the center of hell i see harry and aleisha. I was confused, what the heck was harry doing here?! Is he conspiring with lucifer once again? Has he betrayed us? Me? I was a mass of confusion but i tried my best not to show it as i straighten my spine and raise my chin at them.

"Where's lucifer? he and i need to talk." i said "and what have you done to harry?"

aleisha lets out an evil laugh "nothing bad for him, really. maybe bad for you, but not for him."

"you whore." i spat.

"tut tut, no need to be brash here angel, i mean, i do hold harry and luke's life in my pretty little finger and i can easily just-" she flicks her finger "take it away."

"fuck off, i'm here. i'm sacrificing myself. let harry go from any spell you may have and let him live on his own." i said.

"no," she said with a smirk. she waltzes over to harry and runs a pretty finger down his face "i think i may keep him here for a bit. i do like his company."

"you bitch," i said "i'll kill you, i swear i will."

she just smirks "we'll see."

"Aleisha darling, is that any way to treat our guest?" i finally see lucifer coming down from the stairs with a smirk.

"darling? guest?" i asked "you- you're with him?!"

"what? you can't just expect me to be alive like magic? i had to pull some strings with the devil himself. plus, this was his plan all along." aleisha smirks. "i get luke, he gets you. its a win win."

"you assholes. we had a deal, my lover for my soul. my soul is here, now give me luke along with harry." i insist.

"now what fun would that be?" lucifer mocks "harry, walk."

Harry starts walking, his eyes dead and red. i was confused as to why lucifer was making harry walk in a straight line like this. i see the pendant on his chest swaying back and forth; the same pendant luke had when i walked in on him and aleisha. somehow, i need to get that pendant.

he walks towards me and his eyes land on me. his face was still blank and i feel myself start to soften up. no nonononono. don't be soft angel.

instead of stopping in front of me, he pushes past me. his shoulder harshly brushing mine as he continues to walk forward.

and then i see it. the cliff. Harry was gonna fall off the fucking cliff.

"no, stop! stop him!" i shout at lucifer "you have me what more do you want?!"

i run to harry and hug him from behind but he doesn't stop.

"lucifer please! stop! i'm here just please don't-"

"stop."

Harry stops and i can feel the tears build up inside of me. i hug harry tightly from behind and sob quietly.

"please," i whisper.

"now," lucifer states "shall we go down to business?"
