Prologue

The cloaked figure sat in the darkness, holed up in a corner.

He knew it was only a matter of time before his captor came to gloat about his evil deeds. He knew he shouldn't care because he would get out of here anytime now.

He heard footsteps approaching and knew it was time for Lucifer to give him one of his ridiculous speeches.

"Well, seems like you'll be here for a while." He said as he came to stand behind the metal bars. "Your witch will be out for... well, a really long time."

"What did you do to her?" Gedeon demanded, his voice hoarse.

"I may have used her body to uproot a tree and broke her spine. Nothing too serious." Lucifer laughed.

Gedeon leaped for Lucifer, but the metal bars stopped him. These were ones that held people like him. Fallen Angel's with supernatural strength.

"You know brother, you should have let it go." Lucifer smirked.

"You're a coward." Gedeon spat. "I know what you're doing. You're so afraid she will not accept you, that is why you don't want her to know the truth." He taunted.

"I am doing this for her protection." Lucifer snarled, his eyes turning crimson.

Gedeon let out a bitter laugh. "Uprooting trees with her body? Breaking her spine? Allowing Uriel to have her beat to a pulp?" He asked incredulously. "You call that protection?!" His voice boomed, rattling the walls.

"Shut up!" Lucifer sneered.

"That is not protection." Gedeon went on. "That is trying to silence someone who has the power to break you besides our Father. You own-"

Gedeon was cut off by Lucifer, who flicked his wrist to keep him from saying the rest of his words. Gedeon smirked and looked at him smugly, he might have silenced him now but he knew that he knew the truth and it's only a matter of time before Zuri found out on her own.

"You are going to regret this, Death. I will make sure of it." Lucifer promised.

Gedeon rolled his eyes and went back to his corner in the dungeon. He will have to wait for Zuri or someone to come get him. But one way or the other, he was getting out of this hellhole. And when he was out, he vowed to spend the rest of his life trying to take down Lucifer, even it meant he would have to take the throne.
