Chapter 52

Milo's POV

'¿Viva La Gloria?' Played as I awoke within the void once more, this place never got any more admirable, but the cold was all I knew at this point and as such, I learned to call it home. I started singing the lyrics to the tune and let the words wash over me, reminding me of how I had gotten here, Glory was out there waiting for me and this cold would never stop me no matter how debilitating.

"RUN AWAYY, FROM THE RIVER TO THE STREET, and find yourself with your face in the gutter," I sang, dancing within the sanctity of the void, knowing no one could see me like this. I may look like an idiot dancing in the dark, but I was comfortable here, even if she wasn't here I would never give up on her. If there was one lesson I learned from my family, true love waits for no one, she wouldn't wait for me and I wouldn't wait for her and if I had to break this great shroud to find her I would. Time and Time again, I had won this duel of will and found innocent, my intentions for her were true then and will be true once more.

'Know Your Enemy' was next, as the Strange Music Box glowed a vibrant purple, symbolizing my desire for freedom from this void. No matter how many times I would wake up here, one of these days I would win above and beyond, she was waiting for me up there and I would not wait for someone to determine me worthy of her. I knew I was, she knew I was, and if I was right about anything in this life or the next, it's that she knew I was stuck down here, and the chains of the void were nothing compared to my will to be by her side.

I had multiple people in my life before I died that called me weak, simply because I am a submissive, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Submission is a gift to one's better, and while she was my better, she knew that my love for her knew no ends and I wouldn't stop fighting until I had her by my side. She was my master, my place in this world, and I knew nothing if not her.

'The Animal' A song by Disturbed played, and I broke into a laughter that would seem sinister to most, but in all actuality was simple hysterics. When faced with the void, I laughed, it was hilarious to me that whoever ruled over this place thought that simple depression could stop me.

'The Static Age' Played, and as it did I saw her again, beautiful as always. She never left my mind, it was borderline impossible, she may be a horror to most but she was my angel. She was the saint of all sinners, the one being who was willing to help me when no one else would, and I still didn't know what I did to deserve her.

"You know, this void may be your home, but not for long, My love," She said as she braved me, untouchable by the very darkness that created me, "I have yet to meet someone who would stand in front of me, yet not call me their enemy, you truly are something to behold, Dear Milo. May I have you?"

Those words, I'd heard those words before, this was my time to go from here. I almost cried, brought to the brink of madness once more, and every time she saved me. But why?!

Gloria's POV

I was never scared of the dark as a little girl, my father used to tell me that the only thing that I had to fear, was fear itself; Yet that wasn't true, and my Little Milo knew that too, we both lived in fear of our hearts. They beat two parts of the same song, decrescendo, and crescendo, life and death, beginning and end. This song we sang was ours to sing, dance, and feel, for only we knew how deep it really went.

'The Boulevard Of Broken Dreams' played from the box, glowing a vibrant shade of violet, and as he took my hand I pulled him to his feet and held him close as if I didn't I might lose him forever. We turned around to see the path ahead, and sure enough, it hadn't changed since the last time we walked it. We were terrified, to say the least, neither of us wanted to leave because all we had were each other, but together we would walk this path in this life and the next. Whatever fate had in store for us, we would conquer it together, we knew no fear so long as we had each other; And as we approached the road we fused once more.

Milo's POV

I once more had my love back, and it was time to leave the void, to be honest, I would be lying through my teeth if I said I wasn't scared; But who wouldn't be when faced with uncertainty, but she made me feel invincible, and dammit I wasn't going to let her give up on me just because I was scared, just as she had done for me.

Lucifer's POV

I watched from my home as they left the void into the wider world, all grown up and ready to brave the world, I couldn't be more proud of how far they've come.

"Good luck, Milo, even if you don't need it with Gloria by your side, it never hurts to wish you well," I said before grabbing a cigar and standing on the balcony overlooking my realm, my family was dwindling and dysfunctional yet I wouldn't have it any other way, "I love you all, my children, may you return to your loves in safety and peace, and may any who stand in your way be shown our ways."

Jack's POV

As I continued walking the path around the lake, Lucifer popped up beside me, something I definitely didn't expect. We talked for a little bit, and he told me that Glory and Milo and left the void and were now out in the wider world, and asked if I could try and convince them to join our family, he said it wouldn't be easy but since when has anything worth being done been easy.

"Do you accept the job, Jack?"

"I do, so long as Jake and I have Alex, we'll try and welcome them with open arms and guns loaded. They'll have a beautiful life with us, even if it's a bit crazy."
