My Other Half

12. Abandon All Hope (Pt. 2)

Lucifer's POV

She's coming. I can feel her getting closer. Then we can take over the world together and destroy all these petty humans. I thought, laughing to myself. I've given them all the signs and she'll accompany the Winchesters when they try to come after me. Or maybe she'll come alone... Either way. I'm waiting for her. 

Arabella's POV

The next day I dressed as if it really were my last day on earth. I put on a green plaid shirt and my black leather jacket on top. I put on my brown boots with my light blue skinny jeans. I was in the Impala with Dean and Sam, while, Ellen, Jo, and Castiel followed in the other car. 

I had this bad feeling in my gut as we got closer. Two times Sam had to ask me if I was okay and Dean kept glancing at me worriedly. Try to remember what I taught you. I heard Castiel whisper. I gasped as I saw him next to me. Sam looked back and jumped as well as Dean swerved after seeing Castiel in the backseat.

"Cas I totally failed last time. I doubt I'll gain control this time." I said looking down and playing with my hands nervously. Castiel put one hand on top of mine and I looked up. "You will do great. I know you will. You have to." He said smiling. I nodded thankfully and rested my head on his shoulder, sighing deeply. 

The town was definitely a ghost town and that was confirmed when Sam and Dean took their phones out, searching for signal. " Nothing?" Sam asked Dean. "Nope. Nothing." Dean responded. 

We parked to the side of the road. "Place seem a little empty to you?" Ellen said from the drivers seat as she stopped next to us. "We're going to go check out the PD..." I drowned their voices out as I looked around. Reapers everywhere. I sat up straight and gripped Castiel's arm. "Castiel." I said stiffly. He told Dean to let us out. "Castiel what is it?" He asked him. But Castiel had already grabbed me and we were standing outside. Dean drove off after Castiel told him it was fine, but Ellen and Jo parked next to us and got out of their car. 

Castiel and I looked around. "This town's not empty." Castiel said simply. We looked around at the hundreds and thousands reapers standing everywhere. "Reapers." Castiel said. "Reapers? More than one?" Ellen said. I looked back at her. "They only gather like this at times of great catastrophe." I said. "Wait how do I know that? Castiel?" He looked down at me. "It's okay. You're only being gifted with the knowledge." I looked up at him confused.

"Now I need to find out why they're here." He said walking away. "Go with him." Ellen and Jo said. I walked over to them and hugged them tightly. "I love you guys." I said to them. They smiled back. "You've always been like a sister to me, Arabella." Jo said smiling. "And you've always been my second daughter." Ellen said smiling. I smiled back and ran after Castiel.

We walked in silence until I stopped Castiel. "Up there." I whispered pointing at a window with a reaper staring at us creepily. Castiel grabbed my arm and flew us up there. We walked through a dark passage way until a familiar voice said. "Hello brother and future wife."

Fire went in a ring around us and I gasped in shock. Castiel looked pissed. When I tell you. You have to run. Castiel said telepathically. I looked up at him and nodded. Pretend you can't leave the circle. Make him believe you're trapped. Then Lucifer appeared. He looked different. It seemed he had gotten a better vessel.

He was unbearably attractive. It was surprisingly shocking how attractive he is, with the slickest jawline and cheekbones positioned perfectly. Oh, and those eyes, which were unbelievingly perplexing sometimes shone like a green strobe light and other times were a kind of hazel that everyone craved. Oh, and his smile revealed most beauty, which could light up a room full of dark, maybe even a world. His beautiful light brown hair was perfect and fell in strands, but had that typically natural way of standing up.
