Horsemen of sin

Ethan opened his eyes slowly, looking around to find himself in a dark place. He quickly stood up and turned around, only to see Lucifer seated on a chair with his hands on his lips.

"How could you let yourself down? Are you trying to get killed or what?" Lucifer spoke up as he held Ethan around his neck and tightened his grip. Ethan stared back at Lucifer, who glared angrily with his dark eyes.

"Do you want to be defeated by God? You are mine, and you should be the one killing them, not them killing you. The knife stab on you was the sword of justice, and with a mere touch, it can't kill a demon. You just let yourself down," Lucifer said.

Lucifer let go of Ethan as he tried to catch his breath, slowly standing up and staring back at him. He walked over to where Lucifer was seated and then spoke.

"You told me that there was only one god's child, which I know was Lora. Who are the other ones? Why didn't you guide me? And how do you expect me to kill many god's children when I haven't even found a way to kill one?"

Lucifer walked back to his seat, sat down, and then looked at Ethan.

"God is trying to send his angels to protect his child. He thinks he's smart, believing he can save everyone from me," Lucifer remarked.

Ethan stood there, confused, as he didn't understand what Lucifer was trying to say. Did it mean that he had to face God's angels as well?

"What do you mean by God's angels, and what do you want me to do?" Ethan asked.

Lucifer stepped back, then slowly walked over to where Ethan was standing. He wrapped his arms around him and pulled him closer.

"I think it's time you find your own angels. We can't let God win, and we won't let it happen," Lucifer whispered to Ethan.

Ethan kept looking at Lucifer, unsure of what else to say. If this was the truth, what should he do next? How would he be able to deal with this?

"So, what should I do? How do I get my angels?" Ethan inquired.

Lucifer smiled, stood in front of Ethan, lifted his head up, and stared at him.

"You just need to find your Horsemen of Sin; they will be the ones to protect you," Lucifer said.

Ethan looked at Lucifer, confused. Was this a trick? He never wanted to be the Antichrist, and now his life was at risk. To save himself, he needed to find his Horsemen of Sin.

"If there are Horsemen of Sin, why can't you locate them and send them to me? How do I even find them?" Ethan asked.

Lucifer smiled as he placed his hands on Ethan, and before he knew it, he felt strange.

"The Horsemen of Sin are Conquest, Death, War, lust and Famine. Conquest represents the spread of false religion, War brings conflict and violence, Famine symbolizes scarcity and hunger. Then lust a sexual desire fallen into temptation. And Death… well, you don't need me to explain that part, right?" Lucifer explained.

Ethan looked at him for a moment, then glanced around and smiled.

"Then I think I should start looking for them," Ethan muttered to himself.

As Ethan got home, he noticed his family all seated, waiting for him.

"Ethan, where are you coming from?" his mother asked, her eyes fixed on him with concern.

Ethan stood still, looking at his parents when they asked him that, feeling unsure of what to say. He could see the anger in his mother's eyes.

"I ask again, where have you been?" his mother pressed, her voice tense. Just as his mother walked over to him and was about to hit him, he held her hands and stared at her.

"Why do you always make things worse, Mom? Why do you try to make me angry all the time? Are you talking about Lora? Well, if you want to know, I asked her to stay away from me, and also, I want you guys to stay the hell away from me," Ethan pushed her away and could see the shock on both his mother's and his father's faces.

"What are you doing, Ethan? What is wrong with you? Don't you know she is your mom?" his father said, as Ethan stepping closer to Lia as he glared at her and then at his father.

"I've said it before, it's best for you guys to stay away from me. I have a lot on my mind, and I think it's best that you stop trying to make me angry," Ethan stated firmly.

Ethan walked up the stairs to his room, where he stood in front of his mirror, looking at himself with a faint smile. He then walked over to his closet, searching for an outfit. After a while, he got dressed in a dark jacket and a stylish pair of jeans. He smiled as he looked at his reflection in the mirror before heading back down the stairs, where he saw his parents looking at him in shock and surprise.

"Where are you going?" Ethan's father asked, standing up as Ethan turned to look at him.

"As you can see, I'm going out. Staying here with you guys makes me sick. I think it's best if I walk away," Ethan said before heading out the door.

He got into a taxi with a somber look on his face as he stared at the driver and spoke.

"Take me to any club nearby where I can have some fun," Ethan requested.

The driver nodded and drove as fast as he could. Ethan sat in silence, his mind filled with thoughts on how he was going to find the Horsemen of Sin.

Staring out the window, a faint smile formed on his lips. This time, he vowed to make sure the angels paid for what they did to him.
