The Devils Son: Afterlife

8. Theatre

We all walked to the theatre which happened to be only a couple blocks away. We are seeing a movie I've never heard of or honestly really think I'll even like but it's something to do so who am I to complain.

I follow Behind Luke and Jordan as they enter the theatre first, Jordan heads right for the center of the theatre claiming it's the only acceptable place to watch a movie while Luke goes for the very back row in the dark. I follow Luke.

We sit down and watch the commercials as we have nothing else to do seems we came early. The theatre is pretty bare to be honest, it's us and a couple other groups of people.

The movie finally begins and it didn't take long for me to lose interest, it's a superhero movie. It isn't that I'm a hater it's just that it's too predictable, the good guy always wins, even if he doesn't in the movie your watching, give it 2 years they will release another where he does. What's so wrong with having a movie where the bad guy wins? Maybe he's not even bad, maybe he's just misunderstood.

I look over at Luke and he looks just about as bored as I do.

"Not a superhero kinda guy?" I whisper nudging him

"No not really" he says quietly

A minute or so passes when suddenly Luke stands up and starts walking out of the theatre, I quickly follow.

"Where are you going" I say catching up to him "Jordan's still in there"

"I'm not spending my night watching some superhero movie sequel that i haven't seen the first too" he says walking towards the doors out to the street.

"And Jordan?" I say walking out with him

"Jordan's a big boy, he'll be fine" Luke says as he starts walking down the street.

"Where are you going" I yell to him and he turns around still walking backwards

"Cmon, well go find something to do" he says before turning back around

I quickly catch up to him before he turns the corner onto a new street.

"Don't get us lost" I say looking around keeping an eye on landmarks to get back. He just grins and shakes his head.

The sun has almost completely set and the roads are lit by the street lights and signs in front of stores that are still open.

"How did you die?" I ask breaking the silence

"Struck by lightning" he says with a grin on his face.

I nudge him and roll my eyes. Mmhm.

"Old age" he finally says and looks down at me as we walk. "What about you"

"Old age" I say with a small smile keeping my eyes on the ground

"Seems to be a popular one" he says just before ducking into a random ally

"What are you doing??" I say standing out on the side walk as I watch him walk deeper and deeper into the dark ally.

"Cmon" I hear him shout to me before I see him reach up and grab something followed by a loud metal sound.

I quickly run after him and see that he's managed to pull down the ladder on some random apartment.

"Where are you going" I say as I start to follow him up

He doesn't answer but we continue to walk up the entire fire escape all the way up to the roof before climbing over the gate part onto the roof.

"You gunna tell me why we are up here? And you're aware we can fly, we could've just flown up" I say sitting on the ledge catching my breath as I watch him walk out to the side and look off.

"We shouldn't just use our powers unless we need too, shouldn't chance a civilian seeing anything"

I stand up and walk over to the edge and join him as he sits down on the ledge with his feet hanging over.

"I wonder what other shit is out there" he says looking out at the buildings and people walking below us

"What do you mean"

"Well if god and the devil and all this is real, who's to say other stuff isn't real too"

"What like Santa Claus" I say with a small smile and he shakes his head in amusement

"No, just like stuff, stuff we don't know about ynow" he says

"Yah, I get you" I says looking out at what little stars there are because of all the light pollution.

"Why do you think the devils son was interested in you?" Luke says after a moment of silence.

"Uhm.... god I don't know, probably was weak minded and easy to control" I say looking down at my feet.

"Hey Cmon" Luke says nudging me. "When you think about him what do you remember?"

"Nothing" I say finally looking up at Luke "I don't even know who he is, I've just been told about him"

"That's weird" he says confused " I don't really remember my father but I know he was my father and that I had one" he pauses for a moment before continuing.

"So if you met the devils son in hell then there's a great chance you have met the Satan" he says looking down at me

"Uhm.. yah I guess there's a chance, I never thought about that and honestly wish I never did" I say my mind now racing.

"Hey, that's your past life you never have to deal with any of that ever again, its probably for the best you can't remember it"

"Well aren't you two just a match made in heaven" I suddenly hear someone say from behind us. I shoot around to see a demon standing in the darkness.

Luke immediately stands up and I follow quickly behind.

"Who are you" Luke asks sternly.

"Oh I'm just a retriever sweetie, give it a moment" he says and suddenly there's a flash and everything goes dark.
