14: The Choice

"Lucifer, I'm going out," I called, grabbing my head in pain from the awful hangover. I didn't remember anything from last night other than a very vague mans face. When I woke up this morning, however, Lucifer was gone and there was a note on the pillow beside me. At first glance, I'd thought it would be a note from Lucifer, but when I opened it, horror shook through my entire body.

It was a place and a time, written in what I had hoped to be red pen, and at the very bottom read "Bring Lucifer"

Obviously I wasn't going to bring Lucifer, but I would go. I didn't worry about if I died because Lucifer would have a new angel, I just wanted to try.

"Where are you going? Do you need me to drive you?" Lucifer asked and I realized I had been staring at the note.

"No, I'm good, just stay here, all right?" I smiled up at him and stuffed the note into my pocket.

The meeting place was on top of a building, cliche and terrifying. Once I got there, I saw a guy. He wasn't masked, and looked oddly familiar, like I had dreamed about him some time in my life or something.

"Where is he?" He asked harshly, both hands behind his back.

"Who?" I asked, walking towards him.

"Lucifer," he said and I shrugged.

"Most likely still at LUX," I said and he groaned.

"You know, people like you annoy me. You always want to be the hero's, but you're never smart about it! Well, its too late to be smart about it now," he said, pulling a gun out from behind him. I stared at it, anger firing up inside of me as the gun flew out of his hand and to me. I held it up, pointing it at him. He raised his hands up and as if in a trance of rage, I pulled the trigger.

But nothing happened.

A malicious laugh came from the man and I looked back and forth between him and the pistol.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" he harshly laughed and I threw the gun down, "I know you, Angel Grace. Do you think I'd be so stupid as to actually load my own gun?" He asked and a lightbulb went off in my mind. I turned around, spotting a red light and a sniper, "Oh look who's decided to join us."

I looked to where I came up on the roof, seeing Lucifer standing there staring at me. I let out a powerless whimper and let my eyes shut as I extended my wings.

"I don't know who you are," I opened my eyes, oddly determined, "But you should run," I said and turned back to the man, letting my wings slice through the air and push him back. Right as he was about to fall off of the building, I heard a gunshot. I had time to turn around before it hit me. I didn't feel anything but I saw the blood. As I fell to he ground, a crushing pain went through my skull. The last thing I remembered hearing was Lucifer shout.

Everything became white. It was familiar. I remembered when I was told I was an angel and turned around. This time, I was met with a dark skinned angel with black wings wearing some sort of robe thing.

"I want to thank you for looking after my brother," he said and I looked around.

"Where is he? Is he okay?" I asked. The angel smiled and a vision appeared in the air. I saw me get shot right before the police showed up. All the feathers on my wings seemed to fall off at once and Lucifer walked to the guy, which I could now remember as Adam. He held him up by the throat until Chloe walked over to him.

"Will she be his next guardian angel?" I asked, seeing how good Chloe was with Lucifer's emotions. She got him to put down Adam before he walked back to me. By then the sniper was arrested and Chloe was arresting Adam. I watched Lucifer sit next to me and cradle me, tears in his eyes but not daring to fall.

"No, it will be someone else, she is special but not for that reason," his words intrigued me but I didn't worry about that, instead I watched Lucifer try to lull me awake, "But that is what I would like to ask you," he said. I turned around, "You aren't dead, not yet. You are mostly angel now and angels can't be killed with a mere bullet. You have a choice," he said and the vision vanished. I nervously gulped and nodded, "You can join the other angels in heaven and another angel will take your place as guardian, or you can stay and watch over Lucifer yourself."

"I want to stay," I said without weighing out my options. He smiled, seeming proud with this choice.

"But don't be stupid, okay. Next time you won't have the same choice," he said and I nodded. He held up his hand and snapped and everything went black.

I let out a quiet gasp, fluttering my eyes open as I look around. Lucifer was gone and the sun was now setting. Sitting up, I winced in pain at a terrible headache. As I stood up, I saw the pile of blood that had been gushing from my head and felt my forehead. It was smooth. The back of my head, however, had matted and bloodied hair. I heard voices in the distance and decided to follow them, wondering if one was his.

"You're not taking her. I'll take her," I heard Lucifer, smiling at his voice.

"Lucifer, you're hurt, I get it, but we can't just-" Chloe tried to reason with him.

"I'll take care of it," he said harshly. I decided to hang back and heard Chloe sigh.

"Fine, whatever Lucifer," she said and I heard footsteps leaving the area. After a moment, I peeked my head around a corner. I saw Lucifer's back, slumped over.

"Why?" He whispered, sounding so sad. No not sad... Heartbroken, "You hear me?" he yelled to the sky, "Why?! You just gonna give me Angel after Angel? Are they all going to die?!" he angrily and sorrowfully screamed. I walked from my place and softly and slowly, but my hand on his shoulders. He jumped and turned around, breaking my heart. It looked like he'd been sleep deprived and in tears for hours.

"I'm the only Angel you need, right?" I asked, showing a small smile. He briskly pulled me to him, hugging me close as his hands pressed on my lower back. My eyes widened but I wrapped my arms around him.

"Angel, what you did... It was so..." He trailed off and I backed up, "Stupid," he said. I couldn't help but frown, even though I knew it was true, "Do you know how worried I-we were?! Don't you ever do that again," he mumbled the last part and pulled me back to him. I felt a smile creep back onto my face as we embraced.

"Don't worry, Lucifer. I'm not going anywhere."

A/N Very quick and sloppy writing here, sorry, but here's the next chapter. I don't know when I'll write again because I'm almost out of ideas plus life's very hectic with finals and personal issues. I'll get back to it as soon as possible.

QOTD: What's your favorite kind of candy?

I'm doing this project about dum•dums so I was wondering. My personal favorite is Reece's.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Hope you liked it!

Goodbye for now my lovelies!
