Speaking With the Devil

1531 Words
"I was an angel?" Megan asked with a surprised tone. "Yes, but you became human as a punishment. But it seems that you didn't even have a hard time with your life." Gabrielle responded. "Why would I get punished?" She replied with another question. "It doesn't matter now. You're back and once you're mortal parents take out your life support, we will go back to heaven." He said. "So, I'm still alive? I shouldn't be here yet!" She suggested. Gabrielle stared at her looking annoyed with her questions. He's an archangel but he needs to babysit her while waiting for her mortal body to die. He can't let the grim reaper take her or she might end up in the wrong place. She wasn't supposed to see Lucifer from the highway. But it seems that destiny is playing with them again. Gabrielle doesn't think she has to know everything before she ascends to heaven. It might confuse her again and won't be able to join her fellow army angels. "It's your time but the mortals keep on messing with the order. They are using their science to keep you alive. But they can't do anything if you want to go." Gabrielle informed her. Megan tried to remember her mortal life but it seems that it's all gone now. She can't even remember what her parents look like, even Gabrielle keeps on reminding her about them keeping her alive. "If science can keep me alive, then why am I here?" She asked herself out loud. "Megan, you don't have to think about it too much. What matters is that you're already here now and you should stay here until it's time to go." He said firmly and got up from his seat. Gabrielle doesn't have the patience to console her about her death. His only concern is to do his job and that's to keep her until he can bring her back to heaven. As much as he hates this process, he can't question what the Almighty is planning for her. Megan was left on her own in the huge living room. Gabrielle seems to hold back from explaining to her everything that she wants to know. Why would God punish one of his angels and make them human only to bring them back to heaven anyway? She decided to look around this place to stop thinking about her current situation. There's a kitchen and then she saw the backyard. She opened the sliding door to get some air. Maybe it's still the same thing even if she's no longer in the mortal realm. There are a lot of plants in the backyard as if that house is in the middle of the forest. But the plants that she sees are unfamiliar to her. Maybe because she's not a plant person. Or it's because those plants are not the same as what she saw from the human realm. Then she saw a tree with iceberg lettuce as its fruit. It's very odd since even if she's not into plants, she knows that lettuce doesn't grow on trees. She's so curious about it if it's the same so she touches one. But she almost fell when it turned into a huge ladybug. Although it looks like a puppy now that it's on the ground. "Sally?" She asked, suddenly remembering an animal similar to this creature. Some of the iceberg lettuces turned into the same creatures. They are yelping and playing with her. This is the answer to her question before! The creature Sally came from this place. That means that she's also in a parallel universe! Then she remembered Cole, her boyfriend who she was with discovering different things. "Aren't they beautiful?" A man's voice asked. Megan turned to where she heard the voice from. It's Lucifer! She suddenly feels warm again with his presence. "Yes, they are beautiful! I have one like this from my lab." She answered. "I knew you would like it! That's why I sent one for you." He replied. "You sent Sally to me?" She asked, confused. "Yes, you sent me this ladybug." He said and opened his palm. A ladybug flew up and went to her shoulder. Good thing she's not scared of insects. Although she can't even tell if it's the same bug she put from the machine before. "I sent you that creature to tell you that I received your gift." He said. "It's supposed to be for an experiment. My boyfriend thought the ladybug mutated or something." She casually said. "Cole is very naive! He's just one of my vessels from the human realm. But he shouldn't touch my girl!" He replied. "Your girl?" Megan asked, confused again. "I guess the angel didn't say anything about your past. Did he tell you that you were an angel?" He asked. "Yeah, he told me that I used to be an angel before I became human. What else should I know?" She asked curiously. Lucifer looks at her and Megan swears that there's something different in his eyes when he looks at her. She's suddenly felt the urge to go closer to him. But stopped herself since she realized that this handsome man is the devil himself. Why would God make him beautiful? "I was an angel too before I fell. But instead of making me human, I was cursed to become the devil!" Lucifer informed her as if knowing what she was just thinking. "Can you read my mind?" She asked. They are still close to each other and Megan didn't want to be the one to put some distance between them. Somehow, she's compelled to stay near him. She's thinking that it's because he's trying to lure her. "No, I can't. But I can hear what's in your heart." He responded. Megan felt relieved since she's now thinking about kissing him right now. She can't stop herself from admiring how beautiful he looks. God did a great job of creating the devil. He even looks more superior than the angel Gabrielle. She doubts if other angels look as good as him. "Come with me, Megan! I will tell you everything you want to know about your past." He suggested. Before she can make a decision, Gabrielle shows up. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her beside him. Now they are face to face with each other. She suddenly feels scared because they look like they are about to kill each other. "She's not coming with you, Luci! It's her time to go back to heaven. Don't be selfish!" Gabrielle said firmly. "It's not up to you to decide on that, Gab! I'm the devil, I'm supposed to be selfish!" Lucifer responded. "Please don't fight! I'm staying here!" She shouted at them desperately. Megan seems to panic from the way Gabrielle and Lucifer look at each other. She doesn't want to witness how the angel and the devil fight. She has a feeling that it's not very good and it will not be pretty. "Fine. I'm going to leave you here for now. But if you change your mind, just get out of the house and think about coming where I am." Lucifer informed her and just disappeared. Gabrielle looks very upset and he walks towards her. He grabbed her wrist again and dragged her inside the house. Once they were inside, he looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. "Never leave this house, Megan! Don't even think about going to him ever! You're going to heaven, don't let him drag you to hell!" He said with a very upset tone. "Why are you so upset? I was just talking to him!" She replied. "If you think that you will get another chance, you won't! Believe me, God will not even look at you when you're already suffering from hell!" He warned her. "So, you're telling me that I can go to hell for talking to Lucifer? That's absurd!" She said with an unbelieving tone. "You're talking to the devil! What do you expect? He's just teasing you so he can drag you to hell with him!" He's now talking loudly. "You're overreacting, Gabrielle! If you're not aware, you're not supposed to be talking like that about other people. It's bad!" She warned him. Gabrielle seems to come back to his senses. But he's still upset about her talking to Lucifer. She just realized that angels can be upset too but they can lose their cool. Although she can still feel that overwhelming love around Gabrielle, it seems that it's not that strong now that he's mad. He went upstairs without responding to what she just said. Megan smirked to herself thinking how she was able to make an angel mad. Then she was able to shut him up by telling him that he's thinking ill about others. It's a great reaction and if she still has her smartphone, she will record him. Megan reached for her pants pocket. She felt her smartphone inside and took it out. It's working around this place. The signal bar is full as well. Then he wonders if she can call someone from where she is right now.
