Micheal’s sword went through his back and chest and the hole left in his body was horrendous.
Gabriel winced at the pain and I leaned over to see the hole in Gabriel’s chest begin to slowly close.
He’s gonna be okay.
I turned back to see Lucifer standing in front of Micheal, the darkness that surrounded him slithering around as they made their way up Micheal’s body and wrapped around his throat. Cutting him as they slowly made their way up his body, Leaving fresh trails of blood slowly leaking out of him. The sight was exquisite.
“Lucifer!” I yelled as I ran over to him.
His eyes were pitch black. There was no sign of the man I had come to know and love.
He’s in there somewhere. He’s gonna be okay! I can reach him.
“LUCIFER!”
I yelled again as I reached out, grabbing his hand and interlocking our fingers together.
“Not now Catalina.” His voice was filled with anger and hate as he spoke. He’d kill him. He’d kill him here and now but we couldn’t. Lucifer was right, Killing him here wouldn’t help us. If anything it would damn us. For now, we needed Micheal alive. Just for a little while longer.
“The others have to know Lucifer first, You need to stop.”
Nothing. Lucifer’s hand began to shake as if he was fighting with himself about what to do. Micheal’s screams were feeding him into it, but my voice was talking him out of it. I just had to reach him so I did the only thing I could think of and pulled him to me and gently kissed his lips. Letting him feel every inch of love that I felt for him. His lips were so soft and warm. I could feel him easing into me, his muscles releasing their tension, his breathing leveling out as his arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer.
I pulled away at the sound of Micheal crashing to the ground. He lay there unconscious as the shadows still gripped him, holding him in place. Lucifer glanced down at me and his eyes returned to the soft dark brown they once were, as I slid my hand to cup his cheek and he closed his eyes, settling into my hand.
“Soon. We’ll kill him soon enough, we just have to be patient.”
Gabriel groaned and Lucifer opened his eyes, clutching my hand and leading us back to Gabriel,
“Is he healed?” Lucifer asked Raphael.
Raphael nodded “Yes but he will need rest.”
“I’ll take him, You deal with Micheal and your brothers,” I said, releasing Lucifer’s hand and kneeling to help Gabriel up.
Lucifer deserved to deal with Micheal.
Micheal had hurt Lucifer more than anyone and he deserved to be the person to deal with him. To make things right.
“Raphael and I will take care of Micheal.”
Everyone turned to see Forseti standing before Micheal.
“Where the fuck have you been?” Gabriel asked as he struggled to stand, leaning against the kitchen island for support.
Forseti shrugged,
“I took it upon myself to show the rest of your brothers what happened. I showed them what Micheal’s memories were and Lucifer’s memories and then showed them my memories from his confession tonight. Raphael will serve as a witness but your brothers are waiting to hear what he has to say and to properly deal with Micheal, so Lucifer if you could be so kind as to release Micheal from your shadow choke hold I’d be more than happy to take him.”
Smart Move!
Lucifer stared at Forseti for just a moment more before the shadows surrounding Micheal’s throat disappeared. Forseti leaned down to grab Micheal, her fingers just barely grazing his shoulder, before anyone could react Micheal flung Forseti across the room, her back hitting the stone fireplace, as Micheal rushed out the door, spread his wings, and took off into the sky. Lucifer was the first to react as he took a step toward the door to follow after Micheal but hesitated for a quick second, and glanced back at Gabriel. I tugged on his hand, those dark brown eyes peering down at me,
“Go after him. I’ll stay with Gabriel.”
Lucifer nodded and within seconds he was gone.
