when fit hits the shan

B opened the door slowly, revealing a long hallway with red doors evenly spaced along each side. As soon as I stepped through, a small ripple made an appearance in the air and fanned out. Mika'il and B watched it in suspense before both turned looking at me and giving me an asinine look. I mouthed "what" back at them when B rolled his eyes and began to walk quietly down the hall. The feeling in the hallway was calm, peaceful even, like I had found my place when I found a searing pain in my back and let out a small whimper, catching the faces of both men again. "Sorry" I mouthed and we continued down the hallway only the sounds of our footsteps echoing. I was nervous and could hear the beat of my heart in my ears. I was focusing intently on my senses when B stopped at a door, opening it quickly and motioning us in. Walking through the door, I recognized immediately where we were at, the well known ribbons dancing through the air. I was pulled from watching them dance by B's intrusion, "I'm going to go get Lilith, stay here." he said before bolting back out the door. Mika'il had discomfort written all over his body. He had his arms crossed and was swaying back and forth. "I don't like this room." He spoke solemly. "Why is that?" I asked him. "The ribbons of color are disorienting and we are kind of in Hell. It's not the most comfortable place." He said. "I find the ribbons comforting." I said pausing to follow them. "Mia, how'd you get your wings up while walking?" Mika'il asked pulling me away from the dancing ribbons. I watched them sway peacefully for a moment before I responded to him, "I don't know. I felt safe and they went up. It still hurts though." "Yea I couldn't tell. It's not like you whimpered." He sarcastically spoke. The door clicked and we whipped our heads to the door on edge, not knowing who would be coming through it. B's head poked through and we both let out a sigh of relief. Lilith soon followed wearing a blood red gown her eyes wide as she looked at Mika'il. A nervous smile written in her face when she angrily whispered, "An angel? A frigging angel? Really Mia," she began pacing, "out of everything you've done so far, you bring an ANGEL to HELL?!?" she finished, dropping her head and rubbing her tenples. "Where is she?" I asked calmly. "Mia, she is in Lucifer's study." she looked up staring into the void before continuing, "Lucifer is pretty set on making you his bride and that's all he's had Lamia talking about all week." she finished, the tiredness coming though in her voice. "Can you go get her?" Mika'il chimed in. Lilith started laughing and Mika'il looked between the three of us with a questioning look. Wiping her eye Lilith replied still chuckling, "I wish it was that simple 'oh mr high and mighty', but alas, it's not." her face becoming flat and sarcasm oozing from her. Mika'il and B started going over scenarios and what they could possibly do when I felt it like a punch to the chest. My heart beat erratically and my palms became sweaty. I turned away from them to try and calm myself but their speaking abruptly halted and the becoming familiar pain exploded from my back. My hip began to warm when I heard the door click and an unfamiliar voice ask "Father" and the retreating of footsteps falling further and further from range. I began to calm down and turned back around to find everyone in stunned silence with Lamia standing in the doorway her mouth hanging open. I ran towards Lamia pulling her in for hug, swinging her around when my wings slammed the door shut. The red melted from the door, revealing a golden underlay and the handle lit up. "Oh Lamia, I was so worried." I exclaimed but she stiffened in my arms. "Lamia?" I asked and pushed her out gripping her by her shoulders. She was gray in the face. I turned and looked back at the three who were still staring at me like I was a monster. Becoming insecure, I asked "Can someone tell me what's going on?" hiking my eyebrow up. Lilith was the first to begin laughing and the rest joined her Mika'il chuckling nervously. "Oh boy you guys have got to go like now." Lilith said and began pushing us towards the door. "Yea this is really bad?" B questioned her. Still laughing, Lilith choked out between giggles, "Yea... Mia..... good luck in the battle......". Mika'il pulled the door open and carefully looked down both ends of the hall and grabbed Lamia's arm and started running. Me and B followed close behind them when Lamia seemed to come out of her stupor and I exclaimed "Finally!". B looked behind us and motioned for me to be quiet. As we reached the door at the end of the hall, Mika'il burst his wings out and was in the air as soon as the door flew open grabbing B by the collar and he went upwards. B immediately latched onto his ankle and I followed Mika'il, scooping Lamia up in my arms and taking off expecting to find myself off center. As soon as I had Lamia, a comforting warmth spread over me, coating my wings and they beat evenly. My mouth responded before my brain did popping open when I felt a finger push my chin up to close it. Looking down at Lamia, she called over the wind, "You're such a dumb***." and a smile settled over her, her shoulders bouncing as if she was laughing. I burst forth with energy finding that my wings cooperated smoothly with every thought I gave them and was able to catch up with Mika'il easily. As we neared our exit, I felt another sensation overcome my wings. It felt cold but in a comforting way. I thought maybe it was because I was growing tired but seeing Lamia's eyes became wide as saucers I followed her gaze, they became enveloped in blue flames bouncing of the gold and making a hue of purple erupt off of them. A confused expression coated me and I looked back to see Mika'il pick up speed and fly into a limestone wall disappearing. I picked up my speed, my hair whipping so hard that it stung and into the wall I went, emerging seeing the dark skies of Domtivir floating above me and bright white wings sprawled open lazily beginning to make their descent. Once I had slowed enough, I made my descent as well seeing B and Mika'il on the ground. "Are they laughing?" I externally asked and Lamia, still in my arms replied "Yea, you made Lucifer run away." and began laughing as well. Another wave of confusion rocked me as we landed, the over obnoxious laughing echoing through the rock fields. I set Lamia down where she hit her knees belly laughing. I stood in stunned silence while watching an angel and two very intimidating demons belly laugh. Once their laughs started to trail off I asked flatly, "What's so funny?". B was quick to respond between laughs wiping tears from his eyes, "Lucifer saw you... and and he asked if if if .... if you were his DAD.... and and and then he ran awayyyyyy." starting a new round of belly laughs amongst the three of them. Lamia was wheezing at this point. I was still lost as to why this was so funny and began walking back towards the market. As if they finally got ahold of themselves, Mika'il popped up suddenly asking seriously, "When did your wings change?" "When you all were so busy laughing about whatever Lucifer did." I responded annoyingly rolling my eyes. They all began to follow and without having to even coax them now, my wings receded in. "Before we hit the exit, they lit up like fireworks." Lamia rang out. "I can't believe you're here and not in my head." I said poking her in the cheek. Lamia smacked my hand away from her playfully, "Yea so now I can kick your a** in real life when you decide to be a dumb***." she replied. Mika'il had a far away look on his face as we walked back to town while B laughed sporadically.

Lucifer POV:

I ran as fast as I could to draw my sword and throw my armor on. I ran back to the door of the void, where a golden door stood in place of my hand picked red. I threw the door open and lunged forward expecting a battle when I found Lilith standing quietly. "Where is he?" I rang out anger consuming me. Lilith wasted no time answering "I'm afraid he has gone and took Lamia with him.". I threw my sword down, a loud clattering of metal and stone filling the air. "You let him leave?!" I roared. "Lucifer.... you know as well as I do, I have no choice in that matter." she replied cooly. I stormed out of the void slamming the door behind me. Why would my father come here? It had been millenia since I had seen those wings. Every feather burned into my memory. I went back to my room and summoned Beezlebub. I had a few hours before he got here so I would make good time in carefully creating his orders. First this woman is able to touch me, no throw me and now, NOW my father wants to make an impromptu visit while I'm preparing for war!? What in my realm was going on? She would be MINE. My father would NOT take that away from me again.
