Lucifer X Reader

Chapter twenty three - Preparations

Y/n pov

You turned in for the night dressed in some night shorts and an oversized t-shirt. You'll need to be ready for tomorrow. No matter what you need to save your family, your love. You can't let whoever is coming ruin that. You thought as you drifted off asleep.

In your sleep

You're in a black void like room, it has a tree running through it, the tree so tall you can't see the top, the tree had cracks and pieces floating in midair, there was a f/c glow in these cracks.

"It looks like a branch or root of the Yggdrasil." You state looking at the beautiful glow.

You see a pulsing f/c light out of the corner of your eyes. You see the f/c pulsing vein like marks engraved into the wall. Like a pathway.

You follow the path and walk towards where they end. You step forward and fall, you keep falling, until you can no longer see the light, only the pitch-black darkness. You feel the non-existent ground hit you and you stumble to your feet. Not that is was worth much as you hear a high-pitched ringing and drop to your knees again in pain.

"No, she is but a child." You hear a familiar voice say, but the ringing hurts too much to let you think who it is.

"She is not yours." The second voice says, you recognise it as the same familiar voice in Gabriel's dream.

"Right, she is his." The first voice says again.

"I will be there and I will do anything to show her the truth." The familiar voice from Gabriel's dream says.

"Even if that means killing her?" The first voice says.

"Gabriel, I would never kill her, she's too valuable." Gabriel? Is he in trouble? You attempt to crawl towards his voice but fail.

"You treat her as some object. That's not what she is." Gabriel defends you.

"She is more powerful than you or your brothers. She will learn her nature, perhaps help me in my goal. Or perhaps be destroyed if her power and ambitions grow too big."

"Then you'll have to kill me." Gabriel tells the voice. No. Gabe. No. Not for me.

"Ugh. Gabriel. Don't do something you'll regret." The voice says before the ringing stops and you see all the blood that came from your ears.

Who was that? What the hell is going on!?

You stood up shaking and felt anger run through your veins. No one will touch Gabriel. That you swear. You'll attempt to kill whoever it is tomorrow, if not then hand yourself in you need to save them somehow.

You shook awake and saw Lucifer at the foot of your bed.

"Why are you in here?" You ask collecting yourself.

"I could hear you crying and I was scared." You smile getting up and meeting him at side of your bed.

"Of?" You ask holding your hand to his cheek.

"For you. I don't know what my life would turn to if you died." You sighed at his concern.

"Luci. You're an archangel. I will die before you." You state again.

"At least not today." He promised you.

"Whoever that is... is strong. Stronger than Gabriel." You inform him.

"A lot of things are stronger than Gabriel. I'm Lucifer, I'm the strongest archangel you know that." Lucifer said. You laugh and shake you head.

"First of all, Gabriel is very strong. Second you couldn't beat Amara even all supercharged. Michael is a close match." You say.
