Two days. I can handle two days of being alone.
I walked back into the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of wine.
He would hate this. Hate that I wanted nothing more than to down this bottle completely.
I stared at the bottle in my hands. A part of me wanted to just do it, just open the bottle and drown in it. But I couldn’t, I wouldn’t do that to myself. I wouldn’t allow anyone to put me back into that dark place ever again.
I put the bottle of wine back, deciding to just put my stuff away and call it an early night. I grabbed my bags from the living room and raced up the stairs. A warm breeze danced across my shoulders as I opened the door to my room and I stared at the perfectly made bed. So much had happened in here or at least I thought something did. I thought back to all those weeks ago, Lucifer and I had come so far from where we had started and I almost believed that in those last few moments, we had spent together maybe I had begun to see a softer side to Lucifer, one that he didn’t show people often, but I was wrong. I only saw how…dedicated Lucifer was to his work. To his…tasks.
I closed my eyes, wiping the memory from my head as I took a deep breath and tried to center myself.
Everything is going to be okay.
I repeated to myself as I quickly unpacked my things and settled into bed.
Everything is going to be okay.

I’m back in that dark place my dreams seemed to conjure up.
The darkness was still here and I could still hear the others screaming. Some were begging for mercy and some were begging for death. There were so many voices and they were so fucking loud! As the voices bleed together into a horribly pitched scream. It got louder and louder and louder and I went to cover my ears like I did before, until the sound of a blade being freed silenced them all. I tried to run but something was holding me in place, I could feel someone come up behind me as they placed a cold hand on my shoulder and a moment later a sharp fiery pain went through my back and chest. I conjured up a small ember of flame again to see. I looked down to see a dagger going through me. Blood dripped down my stomach and onto the floor. It was coming out of me so fast, there was no way to stop it. The person behind me began to laugh as they twisted the dagger, making it my turn to scream.

I opened my eyes and immediately sat up in my bed as my fingers wandered over myself for the wound in the dream.
Nothing.
It was just another bad dream. Everything is fine.
“It’s been a while since you’ve had a dream that bad.”
There’s no way. I have to still be dreaming!
I opened my eyes to see Lucifer standing at the foot of my bed.
He’s Here!
I yanked the covers off and launched myself at him. He caught me as my legs wrapped around his waist, my arms going around his neck as his arms wrapped around me.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him
“You were screaming.”
Was I?
“But I thought you were gone? You said you were leaving- How did you know I was here?” The questions rolled out of me, unable to stop myself.
“I never left.”
I smiled.
“You never left?”
Lucifer shook his head,
“I stayed here. Waiting. Hoping you would come back.”
