"Leave me, I'll be back in 10 minutes". Maria's guards stopped at the grave yard gates. She walked a good distance away before changing into her original form. Maria knew not to approach her father in any other way. "Hello dear father, I have come to visit and for your guidance. Dear father, things are not going as planned". No one had seen Maria in this state, submissive and meek. "I have lost the women and the child, father I have never been this lost. I need you father I need your guidance! What if I can not bring them back! If she somehow finds him, if she even gets closer to him everything I worked so hard for, everything you worked so hard for will be lost. I am so sorry father I have disappointed you." Maria head was low. Even though her fathers gravestone was beneath her she felt his opossing spirit above her. She felt her anxiety get the best of her. Her failure was eating her up inside. She saw the look of her dear fathers face. Her long black nails dug into her sides. It almost looked as if she would cry but she had list that ability years ago.
Maria rocked and mumbled begging for her fathers guidance and forgiveness. Suddenly she stopped, "Your right father I could use it!" She shot up from the ground her wounds healing and she blood sizzling away. "I promise father I won't disappoint you like she did. I will bring you back and we will have what's ours". Maria knew what it could do it would do the job perfectly. But it required food. "Are you ready to leave miss maria!" Maria had gotten a new guard who was fresh and optimistic. He looked at maria with hope and appreciatation. Maria smile got wider, the boy reminded her of how laytonya looked at her. "Yes my dear I'm ready to leave thank you all for waiting."
A couple feet away Titus was hiding. He didn't like the look Maria had on her face. He didn't know what it was but he knew it wasn't good. He had managed to get woman and Adam out by altering the energy collecter. Titus couldn't afford to have them get found. He knew laytonya was safer in the underworld. Everything is going as planned. All Titus had to do was get to woman and get her to him. He could not fail.
"Oh gosh what do I even wear!" Lucifer invited me on a date today. I'm so nervous I've pulled out most of my hair. It's been a couple days since the incident and I feel a lot better. I've gotten so angry and upset I've punch a few whole in the wall. I don't know what to do with my anger I've never felt it like this before. But thinking about what lucifer told me calms me down some. I stared in the mirror at the dark colors sweater dress. It pulled at it and it snaped right back to my body. "I don't really have any other option". I check the time on the clock, "oh gosh laytonya when will you ever not be late!" I rushed outside nearly tripping down the stairs. He said their would be a black car waiti- there! A door opened a lucifer's tall figure was smiling and waving at me. He opened the opposite door and motioned for me to get in. I smiled and savored his scent as I got in.
"How'd you sleep last night?" He was staring at me I could feel it. I don't think you suppose to drive without looking. "Oh I'm I slept fine I've never been in a bed that big so I've been sleeping well these last couple days I guess." That was a lie if been having body aching nightmares. "I just asked cause you look a bit tired I know your not used to it here". I looked up and indeed i was met with his eyes staring right at me. "Um lucifer with all due respect I don't much about driving or cars but are you suppose to drive without looking." He suddenly looked embarrassed and rubbed his beard. "Ha ha your right I just uh got caught up looking um nevermind so today-" he started rambling about what we were going to be doing on our date. I couldn't help but grin, he is cute.
We made our first stop at the city center. Lucifer rushed and opened my car door. "Thank you", "no problem, Welcome to our infamous cider center "GeoX". I took a step back and clutched my purse. There's were so many people, so many lights, so much just stuff! I never knew there could be so much in one place. "Come on don't worry I won't let anything happen to you!" He reached out his hand and I took it. He smile got bigger and a smile formed on my lips. "So first stop the largest building here, my office. I'll more than likely take you for an in dept tour another day a lot happens in this building." I took a step back and gasp I hadn't took my eyes off the ground. It was a black circle shaped building with angular windows. It was so tall it looked as though it touched the moon. "It's um huge". "Yeah every single committee,department, management is held in this building. If your home sets on fire, you want to get married, if you want to get permission to leave the planet you come to this building." "That's a lot of stairs to walk up".
"Ha well I guess your planet doesn't have transporter we only have stairs up until the third floor". I just nodded my head, the height of the building was kind of making me nauseous. "On to my next stop my lady!" We taking some feet away and took note of all the people and their conversations. They looked bright and happy. Some when we made eye contact then smiled at me, if one accidentally bumped into me they apologized . Everyone looked different. " Here is the shopping center this is the largest on mercury." A bit of me was relived everything was eye level but there were so many shops. "Do all of these shops sell differnt things?" "Pretty much some may sell other things besides clothes but this is our fashion
didtrict". "You all have a lot of um things", " that's true but we have a lot of people plus it fun to have options and even just look around".;"Tomorrow I'm going to bring you back here to buy clothes you didn't come here with literally anything", "oh well I don't know I don't have any money I'll wait" " Your funny I'll pay of course no beloved of mine is walking around without the things they need". "oh no I couldn't and I could pay you back I'll be fine I promise", "it's ok Latonya let me take care of you I want to. Come of we have so much other stuff to see!" Being taken care of huh.
now our final stop The Archive! This is were we house our entire history, information, artifacts, it all on display here." I gasped a little it's a large dorm, silver and reflective.
we're actually going to go in the inside today. It's a different world". I watched Him grin and skip. He was proud of where he lived, his home. He should be this place is beyond my imagination. There were so many places were people could interact and learn or even have fun. Everything flowed into each other. The building were big but they had purpose and were even quiet pretty. I loved my home, but not like he loves it here. Lucifer held my hand as we pushed through the influx of people entering and exiting. My breathe was taken away, "Lucifer is that-!! "Yep it's the sun but not quite it's bring projected onto the ceiling". I couldn't find anymore words there were books for miles. I clutched the railing and peaked down to see even more books. "Lucifer you live like this! This is magnificent my gosh!" "I'm glad you like it this is your home now too".
