"Lucia." I heard a voice say with the most beautiful harmony. "Lucia baby, what are you doing here?" Wait I know that voice, I just can't put a face too it. Why can't I open my eyes? "Baby don't struggle, you will be able to open your eyes when the Gods are ready." This voice is so reassuring.
I see light, the first bit of light that I've ever seen in my life. It's so beautiful, I just want to grab it and never let it go. "It's beautiful isn't it, you can never get too much of it." I could listen to this voice all day. I let my eyes slowly open so they can adjust to the light. "Hey baby girl." I can barley make out the figure of the women, but it's enough form me to know who it is.
"'Momma?" (Picture of her mom at very top) I said with hopefulness in my voice. "Shhh, yes baby I'm here." My mom spoke with so much passion, she almost sounded like an angel. "Baby, what are you doing here it isn't your time." I don't know what I am doing up here, I didn't ask to be sucked into a white void.
"Momma, I miss you, you need to come back. Dad is worse than before you left." Tears threaten to come out of my eyes, until a thought hit me. "Why can I see you?" I asked with the utmost curious look on my face. "Am I dead?" My voice rang with fear and happiness at the same time. "Baby, I am here to help you, no your not dead, I don't think Samael will let that happen." My moms beautiful voice had love in it.
Samael doesn't care about me, he just wants the title of being then next underworld king. "I think he will fall in love with you Lucia." My mom said with hope in her voice. "Mom, I'm not ready for him." Tears now roll down my cheeks burning my skin form their toxic touch. "He will realize, and he won't hurt you. You have to be up for forgiving him though." What does she mean? This information just made my life even more complicated.
"Mom wh-" darkness started taking over again, and I could no longer speak.Beep beep beep. Where was I? "She'll be okay." The voice of an unknown man. "All thanks to your powers of course." Wait who is he talking too? "I wish I could have helped further, and don't tell anyone about this, because nobody knows what I am capable of." Oh my, that's Samael, wait until I tell my father this. He won't want him to be king after knowing he has powers. I was hoping to wake up and run to tell my father, until my mothers reminder rang in my head. "I think he will fall in love with you Lucia." Am I ready for love? It's my mother, I have to give him a chance for her, she knows what she's talking about.
"Now let's just wait and see if the princess can keep her temper under control now." The unknown voice spoke again. "Don't say that, she's been through a lot and she is your princess you have no right to talk about her like that." Samael said with confidence. Maybe it'll be easier than I thought to give him a chance.

•I'm pretty sure it's been a few days now, my mind has been fully awake, but I can't seem to open my eyes. "You will wake up." Sam said, I finally decided to give him a nickname, because he's literally been here every minute of everyday. My father hasn't been in here once, and I am honestly thankful.
I feel water being poured on my head and fingers rubbing the smell of lavender into my hair. It feel so good, I could let Sam do this every day. He was humming a song I didn't know the words too, but it sounded angelic.
Samael's POV
I don't know why I am caring so much for her, she just looks so innocent and peaceful while laying in the hospital bed. I am whistling the song that I learned while in heaven. I miss my beautiful white wings sometimes, but I have to say the red wings I have now are huge and beautiful.
"Lavender suits you princess." I know it may be weird me talking to her while she's in a coma, but I have hope that she can hear me. I start to rub in the conditioner, and I get up to go get the pail to rinse it out.
Finally I am done with washing her hair, she has long beautiful red hair that reminds me of the sunlight shining down in the ocean. I'm loosing the battle of falling for this girl, and I'm starting to think it's not such a bad thing.
Lucia's POV
Pain. That's all I feel, my heart is filled with pain. It's starting to rebuild itself for this man, and I'm scared of what it's capable of. My eyes begin to feel heavy and I open them slowly. The darkness from the light a saw so little ago is hard to readjust too.
"Well good morning sleepy head." Sam said with a smile on his face. "It's good to be back." I said as I reached to pull him into a hug, he was surprised but hugged me back. "What made you do that, I thought the whole reason you were in here was because you didn't want to marry me?" He said as sadness could be heard in his voice. "Let's just say.... I've had a lot of time to think to myself." I said as I gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
I think I like this chapter :)
