Highway To Hell

Chapter 1 Run For It!

.
I sit in the car. What the fuck am I doing? I have this chance. I may not get it again. I open the door and as soon as I do it closes. Damn him. I try breaking the window. The only damage done is to my elbow and its bleeding. Dammit Alex!!! He returns with a bandaid, some alcohol and cotton puffs.
"Thought you might need these." Alex smiles and laughes.
"Fuck off!" I shout at him. Why won't he let me go.
"What do you want from me? What could I possibly give you? I'm only 13!" I shout and plea.
"Oh poor, innocent Zoe, if only you would quit the act. You know exactly what's going on. I don't want anything from you. Luke is the one that wants you, not me. I'm just the person who fetches things, or people in your case, for him." He is so hot, but ignoring the fact, he kidnapped me.
"Who the hell is Luke? What act? I have no clue what's going other than the fact that you kidnapped me. Please let me go!" I plea once more. I need info more than I needed to be let go."I have a feeling that you'll never be returning to that dreadful place you call home. Or seeing any of those dreadful people you call friends and family. Zoe, you belong with us. Whether you know it or not! Quit trying to escape because you can't. Your not from this realm and deep down inside you know that and always have, but for some reason you have chosen to ignore it!" Alex's eyes are dark, and scary. He's shouting at me. I sit in awe. You must be joking. A different realm. What series did you just get off of? I open my mouth to say something and before I can he does something to me and I'm out like a light. When I wake I'm in a dark room, under satin sheets with the fire going. Where the FUCK am I? I get up and I am sore for some reason. I get up, look around and observe that he's not here I put on my shoes and bolt to the balcony. I open the doors, yes they opened finally I can leave and go home, and scream terrified of what I am witnessing. It's a perfect image of hell! I scream for about 30 seconds before I am picked up by a man , with extremely big biceps might I add, and carried back inside. He shuts the doors with his foot. I am kicking, hitting and wiggling away from him. I'm still screaming. He tosses me on the bed. I bounce a couple times and stop screaming. He's not Alex. I scramble to the head board. He's gorgeous and terrifying.
"Who the hell are you? What's going on? Where am I?-" I bombard him with questions.
"Shut up Zoe!" He scares the hell out of me. His tantalizing, huge, bright, sea blue eyes stare at me with intensity. His jaw is clenched. He is running his fingers through him perfectly messy brownish blonde hair. His biceps are probably bigger than my thighs. He is pacing.
"Who are you?" My voice is shaky and I think he notices.
"I didn't mean to frighten you, Zoe! I'm sorry." As quickly as he said that he is next to me. He try's to brush some of my hair behind my ear, but I stretch away. I crawl away, he moves closer. I stumble off the bed and fall to the floor, he continues to follow me. As I crawl backwards he tries to hug me. I am trapped in a corner. I walks up to me and kneels. He is so tall.
"Zoe, what's wrong?" He says it with so much concern that I almost start to cry.
"Zoe, what happened? Are you okay? Why are you trying to get away from me?" He says trying to comfort me.
"Wh-who ar-are you? What was that? Where am I?" I am so shaky. If I was standing I probably would have fainted by now.
"What do you mean, my love? You are home! That's my garden. It's me Lucifer!" I look at him with utter befuddlement. He sighs. He tries to hug me again. I flinch. He chooses to ignore it and he scoops me up into his arms. I am shaking. Actually, physically, shaking. I don't try to get away. He softly lays me down on the bed.
"Get comfortable. I have a feeling this is going to be a long night!" I do as I'm told I get under the covers and stare at him as he pulls up a chair by my side of the bed.
"What do you want to know?"
"Who are you? Where am I? How do you know me?"
"My name is Lucifer. They call me Luke because it's more pleasant. Your in my home, or better known as hell. I met you when you were born. You were born here, then out of the kindness of my heart I sent you to that other place. Then a couple years ago you found out where you were born, came here, met me and then I fell in love. With you. You fell in love with me. Then you went snooping around my garden. And one of the passing Angels happen to catch you and send you back. But when people get sent back they lose their memory of this place." He says this likes he reciting it from a book, cold and lifeless.
"There's no way. You. Me. In love? Here. Angels. Hell. What? This isn't possible" I try and comprehend everything.
"I sent Alex to fetch you. He doesn't like people your lucky he didn't take the easy way out and kill you. " he barks at me.
"Wouldn't I have gone to heaven though?" I put air quotes on the word "heaven".
"No, not necessarily. There are certain ways to kill people and have them sent straight to hell. I examine their case and determine where they go and what happens." He says as he puts the chair back and climbs onto the bed and curls up behind me and cuddles me. Every muscle in my body tenses.
"So you have no heart?" I say ice cold. He pushes up on one hand and stares at me. He's eyes dark as black.
"Excuse me? What did you just say to me? "Oh shit! What have I done.
"I said-"
"If you repeat I swear..."
" I said you have no heart!" I don't care what happens at this point. In one fluent motion I am scooped out from under the covers, off the bed, and up against the wall. I am shaking again. He stares at me. His face is perfect without the dark expression that I put there. He's scaring me. I look away.
"Look at me, Zoe! Do you mean that? After everything?" His expression darkens even more. I keep my eyes down.
"I SAID LOOK AT ME!!" As fast as he said that, I'm out the balcony door and hanging off the balcony with nothing to hang on to. He's the only thing keeping me alive. I look at him tears coming close. I scream.
"Screaming does nothing! Tell me how you really feel! Do you mean that? Look away and I drop you!" I fight the urge to look away! "Your scaring me!" I scream at him.
"Doesn't bother me a bit. If you think I have no heart I'll show you no heart." As soon as he says that I get pissed and look away. He lets go of me and I fall. It seems like forever. I don't scream. I don't flail my arms because it's hopeless. I just. Fall. I guess forever wasn't long enough because once again I am back in his arms.
"Told you I'd drop you! I mean what I say, and say what I mean!" His face has softened. I faint in his arms. I wake once more in this bed of satin sheets.
