Lucifer

[Lucifer - Part One - 10]

"Hey, wake up!" I heard someone whisper yell in my ear. Instantly I jumped and snapped my eyes open. Pertoski was looking down at me smiling. "I have you a ticket to London." She said, her voice high pitch from excitement. "London?" I questioned still half asleep. "Yes London!" She exclaimed and dragged me out of bed.

I blinked a couple of times then took the plane ticket out of her hand. I examined it closely and saw that it definitely said 'London' but it also had the name 'Rhea Collins' on the ticket.

"What is this?" I asked Pertoski as I made my bed, placing the ticket on my bedside table. "Your new name and identity. Sorry it's the only name I could get." She said. I finished making my bed then looked at her. "How the hell did you get a fake name and ID?" I asked her, folding my arms. "Erm lets just say I know someone who knows someone who owes me a massive favor from way back." Claire explained. "That is the most complicated explanation ever." I said then we both started to laugh.

We coughed and spluttered with tears in our eyes.

This is what it is like to live.

I packed my clothes into  duffel bag, listening to music that was on my iPhone that Pertoski brought for me the other day.

"I thought I might say one goodbye before you leave." I hear a voice say from behind me. I jump and turn around, only to find Lucifer standing there.

He had extremely bad bags under his eyes which made him look extremely dangerous.

"Look Lucifer, I took my time crying but now I'm done with crying and I'm done with you." I said as I continued to stuff things in my bag. "Its time I let you go." I told him as I turned back to him. "You can never let me go." He said as he took a step towards me.

"Listen Lucifer." I said sharply as I stepped towards him. "The mark you gave me is fading because I'm rejecting you and you turned me into a killer." I said, finding confidence from my anger.  Lucifer took another step closer, my words not seeming to effect him. "No, you already had this darkness inside of you, I just showed you." He told me, his forhead touching mine.

I stopped breathing for a second and I almost gave in to him but then I stood strong against him. I knew I still love him. You can't just stop loving someone but slowly I was going to stop.

"That was not your decision to make. Us humans are not your pawns. Not in life we aren't. Wait until I die then toy with me all you like but not now. I will not allow myself to get caught up in a tango with death himself." I finished and instantly I could tell my words effected him.

"You tangoed with 'death' for 3 years." he Stated, covering his hurt. "I was foolish and blind. But now I am not. Please realise I have to give up my entire life and identity because of you." I said as I pushed him then went to packing my toiletries.

"I see." was all he said as I continued to pack. I rolled my eyes.

"Well I guess this is goodbye, I shall banish my mark off you." he said strongly but I could tell he was breaking on the inside. It hurt me too but I deserved a life outside of this murder and insanity. "Thank you, and goodbye Lucifer." I said as I faced him.

He nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. I gave him a light yet genuine smile then he disappeared, hopefully out of my life, forever.

Of course it hurt like a bitch for the mark to to. I laid on the ground gritting my teeth, grunting, trying not to scream. I knew he wanted me to feel only a fraction if his pain.

Soon after the pain stopped, pertoski entered my room and sat beside me. "You did the right thing. It was a toxic and doomed relationship from the begining." she explained as she cradled my head in her lap and she stroked my hair. It felt calming to me.

"We have to get to the air port soon, Rhea." Claire said to me as I lifted my head out of her lap then collected my bags. I looked at her and nodded.

Soon, Tyler, Pertoski and myself were packed into the truck and we headed for the international airport.

My life in London was set up, I lived in a lovely apartment and worked as a florist in a cute little corner shop that was on the street.

"Rhea don't worry about us ok?" Pertosku said randomly. "We are going undercover too. We will be a couple and we will be moving to Dubai. We have work there as architects." Pertoski told me. "Im glad that you can have a life outside of this too, Claire." I said.

"We are here." Tyler announced. I got out of the truck but kept my head in. "Thank you so much Claire. You have been my cell mate for 3 years. You taught me so many things and for that I am greatfull. Good luck in your new life." I said. "Tyler, thank you also for getting us out of the asylum. I have no clue how we did it but we made it this far. Goodbye to you both." I said as got my bags.

"Goodbye and good luck Rhea. Give me a call or a text if you need anything." Claire Pertoski said. "Goodbye Claire and Thank you." I said taking my bags out of the truck. "Bye Rhea." Tyler said. "Bye Ty." I said as I shut the door.

I watched as they drove off and I waved to them.

As soon as the car was out of sight I went to the airport And checked in.

I sat at my gate, practicing my British accent whilst waiting for my plane.

Although I wanted to get away from Lucifer, I know I never could but I held high hopes.

I never wish to feel for a man as I had for him. Lucifer.
