3 Chapter 5 (Make a deal) not

The place was rather smaller than she imagined, when they got there she had expected a large mansion, fleet of cars but what stood in front of her was a duplex, a few trees and surprisingly no car or fence; "this couldn't be his house" she thought. The guard who had called her earlier opened the door for both of them and she walked behind him as they stepped out. He stopped half way to the door and turned to her

"Wait here" he commanded. Mayla was feeling uncomfortable, something was off, why did Ramiel not warn her about this, or did he? she was overwhelmed by her chance to see Lucifer that..

"Bring her in" he said to his guards jolting her out of thoughts. They came towards her dragging her forcefully towards the door.

"let go of me". She screamed but they didn't flinch. They pulled her into the house as she screamed. When she got in she saw him standing next to a sit and it seemed like someone was on it. It was dark so she couldn't make out a face.

"What do you want me". she asked.

"I should be asking you that, you tried to seduce me" he mocked and she shook her head in disappointment.

"Do you think am a fool?" he asked.

" As a matter of fact ,you are, if not you would not have brought a high ranked angel into your house" she replied and he flinched.

" My house" the person in the chair spoke.

" And I heard you retired" he added.

"Lucifer?"

"it's Devil now, your friend made it clear that day"

"I need to talk to you"

"You already are, aren't you?"

"Luce"

" Don't call me that, ever," He said with anger.

"Daren you can leave now take your boys with you" .He said to the man who brought her there.

"But master" Daren said and gave Mayla a hard stare. he didn't want to be a fool twice.

"I'll be fine, leave" he said coldly and they walked out of the house.

"what do you want, Mayla"

"I..I.." she stuttered. Even if she tried she still felt weak in front of him while he acted like she wasn't there at all.

" Follow me" he said and started walking, while she followed. This time they entered a brighter room it was big, the floors were polished,the wall was painted blue with a touch of white like the sky, in the center of the room there was a large round table, like that of King David's.

"Sit" he said and she sat down quietly like an obedient dog and stared at him as he stood in front of her she finally had a chance to admire him. He didn't change in looks, his skin still glowed like the morning Star he was named after, too bad humans picture him with horns, fangs, a tail an sharp nails, if only they knew, he had changed his long white hair to a black short wavy hair, with the sides shaved off, he had a long black robe on. Lucifer smiled when he noticed her staring, she could spot fangs a little longer than his tooth, not the kind humans would expect and although he didn't have it before it suit him perfectly.

"Are you going to keep staring" he said as he moves towards the other end of the table.

"Sorry" she said and looked down at her fingers.

"Go on" he said as he sat.

"Lucifer I didn't mean to turn my back on...."

" Am sure you are not here for that" he interrupted.

"Am dieing"

"You know what to do then"

"visit heavens well" he continued.

"I need your help"

" Does Michael know you are here"

"No, does your brother know your are here" he added.

" I Mean they always make your decisions for you"

"Can you just stop" she yelled.

"If you were human I would have taken you soul the moment you stepped in here you know" he shouted back.

"Lucifer, please" she pleaded

"so you want to make a deal with the devil" he said in a low tune.

"No just do it for old times sake". she said and he burst into laughter.

"Am not that naive"

" We had something"

" No you had something with Lucifer and he died of disappointment after you left him" he said without emotions. With the wave of his hand a contract appeared in front of her.

" I can't give you a soul because I have none"

"You should at least read it first, of course I know you have no soul, I'll help you but in return, you'll have to become a demon.

*******************************************

As she walked home she thought about Lucifer's offer, a demon? her expectations were high and now she was confused peharps if she agreed her feeling of guilt will go away, maybe they will have something again but what would Michael and her brother think. she sighed.

It was late and the street was quiet, she opened her door and walked inside to see Michael sitting on her couch, he was looking at the magazines under her table.

"When will you angels learn privacy" she laid emphasis on the last word.

" Never" he said and she laughed but he remained indifferent.

"Where were you?"

"I went to see Kash"

" I dropped by at Kash's place before coming here" he said looking into her eyes and she looked away.

" what I do and where I go is none of your business" she replied in a rather low tune.

"There's no other way" he sighed

"well that's good news" she said sarcastically.

"I talked to Nazarene, he'll let you access heavens well if you.."

"Am not going back! and why did you tell him!"

"He knew anyway, he's sees and hears everything and moreover his merciful and considerate he didn't say you have to return to your duties to access heavens well"

" so what is the condition?"

" You have to go on a mission with Dalaila and I". he said and her mood darkened.

" see I don't like her presence as much as you don't but it's the only way" he pleaded.

"Fine, I'll do it just this once and that's it" she sighed.

" we leave tomorrow" he said and disappeared.

The thought of going back to heaven haunted her all through the night as she slept, "at least it's better than becoming a demon ". she reassured herself.
