Lucifer appeared before the male's bed, red eyes cutting through the darkness.

"Neil."

The boy jolted awake from the sudden voice and sat up, backing into the headboard behind him.

"Who are you?! How'd you get in here?!"

"Your time is up, Neil."

His eyes widened as he realized what the man was referring to.
"Wait, no! I just need a little more time!"

"You've had plenty of time. And you broke a rule of mine as well. You'll be damned to hell twice for your sins."

Lucifer stepped towards him, a fire burning in his eyes.

"No, please! Don't!"

The fallen angel leaned down towards Neil's ear, growling slightly.

"Is that what the girl said to you as you defiled her? As you stole her?"

Neil's eyes widened once again.

"Did you heed her pleas as she cried?"

Lucifer wrapped a hand around the boy's neck and lifted him from the bed, holding him off the ground.

"You will perish in the same manner that you treated her. No one will heed your calls, no one will intervene. You die tonight, Neil Mathews."

His grip on Neil's neck tightened until the teen fell limp. His soul left his corpse and silently descended into the underworld for eternity to repent for the sins he has committed.
