Dancing with the Devil

All Night!

      We continue to talk. Making jokes and telling stories. We turn to walk through an ally for it was a short cut. "Lucifer! Halt! What are you doing walking these streets?" "Oh you feathered fuck, can't you leave me alone? I'm just walking this nice young lady home." "Luciel, is that an archangel?" He looked down at me and shook his head. "No. He seems to be a minor one." "Lucifer, who is she?" The angel asks. "She's my newest recruite." "I see. A new threat." "No. Shes a reaper. I saved her life." The angel laughs at Luciels comment. "It's true! I was hit by a car and he saved me." "Silence demon!" "Hey, don't speak to a lady like that." How chiverous. I sigh. "Luciel it's okay. Listen, Mr. uh angel guy. He's just walking me back home." Luciel nodded in agreement. 

     The angel looked upset and rose expanding his wings and manifesting a sword. Luciel put his arm in front of me and handed me the umbrella. I look over to see he had taken out a sword. He rose and met the angel. They began to fight. I could tell he was holding back. The angel struck him down , knocking his swoard out of his hand. "Luciel!" I run over and the angel puts the swoard up to me. I look over at Luciel on the ground and I began to tear up. "You can't leave me here alone! You're the stupid reason I'm like this! Get up! You call yourself a king?" I close my eyes and when I open them I had manifested a swoard. Before the angel or I could use ours I hear an unfamiler voice. "Angel hault! These were not your orders." We both look over to put a face to the voice.

     "Gabriel." Luciel groaned getting up. "Lucifer stay back." Gabriel said. The angel made his swoard disapear. Mine did too. "But Gabriel, It's him! Satan!" Gabriel decends. "I'm aware, but attcking him was not your orders. You were just supposed to report what he was doing. Now go." Gabriel opens an astrial gate and sends the angel through it. "What's up old buddy?" "Hush Devil. We're not 'buddies'." Gabriel looked at me. "Is it true? You're just a reaper?" I nod. "Yeah but Lucie-Lucifer turned me into a demon." Gabriel nods. "Make sure you don't abuse your powers, for if I or the others have to strike you down you don't spend the remainder of your days in hell." with that he leaves through the astrial gate. 

      "Luciel are you okay?" He gets up. "Yes I'm fine." He hits the back of my head. "Ow! What was that for?" He crossed his arms. " You should''ve never tried to take him on, on your own." "Hey how about a thanks?! Plus, I wasn't even trying to summon a swoard." I crossed my arms. "Well. You're more powerful than I thought." He sighed. "Just, next time we encounter a stay angel like that, stay out of the way. I don't need you getting hurt." I huff and we begin walking. We arrive at my apartment. "Come on in." I lead him in and go into my bathroom. Grabbing him and I a towel. "Thank you Emmy." "Yeah." I sit on the couch. He's standing drying his hair. 

     "Why did you try to save me?" He asks. I look up to him. I'm not actually sure. I can feel myself blushing. I cleared my throat. "Well, you're my boss and King so...and you did save my life." "When you were yelling to me. You told me not to leave you alone. What is it that you mean? You have Autumn." I looked down. "Yeah but assuming I'm not killed by a rouge or lose my shit and struck down by an arch, I will outlive her. I'll outlive my familiy too. So in the very end. All I have is you." I look over at him and he looked down. "I haven't felt like this in a while." "Felt like what?" He looked at me and smiled. "Happy. I'm glad you care for me!" I smile back.

      Can I really be friends with him? I mean what if he's just playing me so I stay loyal? Would he have protected me? Well I guess he did block me. I guess it's more of , is it okay to be friends with the Devil? I don't  even know if I can trust him. I mean I know I was never raised religous or anything but he's the bad guy. I guess if I'm on his side that makes him a good guy to me. I mean unless I follow in a regular demons foot steps, if I was killed. I could still go to heaven. I guess I'll just have to watch out. I don't know if he can be trusted but I guess being more open minded wouldn't hurt. He is my boss and plus without him I wouldn't be here anymore. I'm sorta in debt.

      I feel him sit next to me. I click through channels and see the 'The Shining' is on and quickly click. "I love Stephen King!" I say as I curl up with a pillow. He looks over and chuckles. "SHhhhh." We sit through and watch the whole two hour movie together. Once it ends we start talking about his movies and theories. It felt like a middle school sleepover. We wound up on my small balcony talking under the stars. Before either of us knew it we saw that the sky begain to slowly turn amethyst as the sun was starting to rise. "Oh wow we talked all night." I laughed. "Yeah it seems like we did. You need some rest so no training today. I'll leave you now so you can go to sleep." I nod. "Yeah okay. Goodbye Luciel. See you soon." I smile as he fades, teleporting to where it is he lives. I close the doors and lock them. I yawn and put the pillows back on the couch. I then went to bed and fell asleep.
