Water (A Sequel to Blood)

Chapter 17

You looked through the portal Lempo opened, staring fearfully at the garish stone. He kissed you.
  "If you're not back in three hours… I'm coming to get you." He promised.
  "If I'm not back in three hours… Assume I'm dead." You replied, walking into the portal. The sounds around you changed into screaming and laughter. Just how you'd remembered it. Around you were chambers made completely of black bricks. Further away was just wide open space where people hung with hooks or just floated on a table. Every demon sensed your presence and began to get closer.
  "You get within two feet of me and I'll smite everything." You warned, beginning to walk. They all took the hint and stayed away, most of them returning to their torture. It made you sick to see people in pain, especially those who didn't deserve it. The screams faded as you reached the steps, immediately becoming dizzy. Lucifer's aura was intoxicating to a being like yourself, and you were falling victim. Nonetheless you had a job to do. As you took your first step, the doorway behind you turned to grey stone. It was dark then, only illuminated by fire that seemed to line the walls. You continued downward, wings dusting the floor behind you. A deafening silence filled the space, and soon you reached Lucifer's chamber. The cage was in a place that couldn't exist, an endless and empty space. There you breathed Lucifer, and it was enough to make you wobble. Before the sensation intensified, you took to the air, gliding around the hundreds of chains that held the cage into nothingness. It was the perfect prison. The closer you got the fuzzier your vision became, like something was feeding off you. You were almost at the cage, shooting forward. Suddenly you couldn't hold your own weight, and you began to fall. An arm shot out from the cage and grabbed your wrist. You heard a snap and you were laying on the floor. A silhouette stood over your legs, red eyes gleaming down on you.
  "Lucifer.." You whispered. He narrowed his eyes.
  "I don't believe we've met… Exactly what and who are you?" He asked, his voice even and curious. You crawled backwards against the bars of the cage.
  "Nephilim." You replied. Lucifer chuckled.
  "You smell like me… Tell me, was your father fallen?" He asked. You nodded your head, slowly climbing to your feet.
  "But I'm not." You declared. The moment the words left your mouth you were against the wall, Lucifer's lips on your ear.
  "You've been here before… You still fight?" He hissed. You gulped, trembling.
  "I don't care for Heaven either."
  "I see…" He moved back, looking into your eyes. He couldn't read you.
  "Why are you here?" He asked, running his thumb down your cheek.
  "I need Sam Winchester's soul.."
