I stared into the empty street and back pedaled a couple steps. I raced to Jacob's house. 

"Shawn!" I screamed. 

"Aria, what's wrong?" he asked protectively. 

I grabbed his hand and sat him down on the couch. 

"I just... spoke with the devil."

"Aria, calm down. It's probably just your imagination," he said with a comforting smile. "You've been through a lot. It's probably just your mind trying to cope with everything."

"No, she's right, pretty boy."

We both looked towards to find him standing there with devilish half-smile. 

"Theo James?" Shawn asked in disbelief. 

Luke rolled his eyes and said, "no, I'm Luke, also known as Lucifer."

"You look like Theo James to me," Shawn muttered.

"What do you want?" I asked. 

"Well I'm the devil. I'm supposed to create chaos, sweetheart."

"She means what do you want with us," Shawn muttered. 

"I want to give you what you want," he said with a smile. "The big guy can be soo annoying with the whole 'moral and good' thing he's got going on."

"Well, we'd rather do what's good and just than do something that'll bite us in the ass," I said. 

Just then, Nash walked into the room with an apple in hand.

"Hey guys! Wait, aren't you Theo James?" he said incredulously.

"Hi, I'm Luke," he said with a smile that looked so genuine that if I didn't know better, would have fallen for instantly.

"What's up, man? You live around here?" Nash asked.

"Uh, no just visiting my friend Shawn. School's been so rough without him."

"How come we didn't meet you when we were there?" he asked.

"I was in South Africa at the time. Pleased to meet you now though."

Nash just smiled and sat down on the couch. Shawn and I exchanged looks while Luke just kept on smiling. 

"Aria, may I speak with you for a moment?" Luke asked.

I rolled my eyes and led him into Jacob's room. He closed the door silently and locked it. 

I wasn't scared. They knew where I was. Plus, God was definitely watching me. I knew because he had to be watching to see if I would kiss Shawn. Plus, Nash (Guardian Angel Nash) wouldn't let me get hurt. This was supernatural stuff. Not my expertise. 

"You are very beautiful," he said impassively.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "What do you want?"

He just smirked and said, "grab my hand."

"I'm NOT touching you," I said, disgusted.

He looked down at his feet and said, "I'm afraid I lied to you when I said I was the devil. An exaggeration, really. I'm actually a rogue angel named Luke."

"A rogue angel?" I said suspiciously. 

"Yes. I made a deal with the devil and God obviously found out. I was banished from Heaven forever."

"You expect me to believe that?" I asked.

"I'll prove it."

He grabbed my hand and suddenly the room began to spin. Instantaneously, we arrived in a dark, damp cave. Water dripped from the ceiling and onto the cold rocky floor.
