On a dark night of winter, a man walks through a small town, located in Mexico. The streets are alone, it's Christmas Eve and everyone celebrates with their families, but for everyone it's not happiness. A homeless man approaches the unknown man.
- Please! Good man, give me some money to buy some food, I don't have a home -- order a senior man with weepy eyes.
His face is dirty with his barefoot and ill-treated hair.
"Sure, good man, close your eyes for a moment — the homeless obeys.
Man with magic makes a pair of shoes, cold clothes and a lot of food, and a small coin chest. Order me to open your eyes. The bum complies with his order, gradually opens his eyes and is surprised to see how many things were around him.
With crystallized eyes and the happiness of the skin, he looks at the strange man to thank such an act of kindness, but he had already disappeared. The mysterious man keeps walking down the streets of the village, his ears hear the slightest noise, when he walks through the houses, hears how they celebrate and how other families fight.
He goes through an old house, he stops dry when he hears like a desperate girl asks for help, tries to ignore, but at the last time he ends up going to rescue the poor creature.
The doors of the old house open, he comes in and sees a nasty scene where a father tries to rape his own daughter. He takes it by the neck and throws it to the floor, hits it hard, stops when he hears the girl's voice.
"Your punishment is wandering the earth, without any consideration, no human will help you, everyone will treat you badly — said the annoying strange man, he couldn't believe that a father would harm his own daughter.
Lucifer leaves the house and behind him, the girl.
What's your name little one?
<
- Lucia - I murmur the little one. He's a little scared, who stutters talking to that strange man, she's so cute.
- Ask with a sweet voice, his voice is like music to him.
- I'm Lucifer, he said, bending down to his height.
- His name is weird and how old are you?
- A lot of nice years
- How much is it? Because my dad wanted to hurt me? —she questioned little Lucia with weepy eyes, she didn't understand anything, she didn't explain how her own father would hurt her
Thousands of years, you're a very question child. Close your eyes for a moment. I was acting like that because I wasn't going to let a despicable human take advantage of a little angel. His fate would be disastrous but he changed it.
I acknowledge the order, Lucifer put his hand on the little girl's head, took all his bad memories.
"Smart little by little, he opened his eyes and hugged Lucifer with happiness.
At that point, he knew what a hug was, no one had ever given him one.
- Where do you live?
- I live far away, it's time to go. One of the neighbors will take care of you for the rest of your life and you'll never miss anything. I'd leave her in good hands and she'd never miss anything.
- No, I don't want to, take me with you.
I can't take you with me, little girl, where I'm going is not a place for kids like you. Showing my best smile so the girl wouldn't be scared and she won't cry.
- I want to go with you, I want you to watch me while my parents come back.
- I travel a lot for my work and I don't have time to take care of you.
The little girl starts crying with a lot of feeling, like she's hurting her.
- All right, you win. Giving her a hug to comfort her.
The girl runs to the house and comes back with a little teddy bear.
- Ready, let's go, Lucifer. - He said with a big smile. It's a beautiful fallen angel from the sky.
They held hands and then disappeared. Years passed, the girl grew up, married a good man, lived his happy life, aged and died. On the day of his funeral, Lucifer cried a lot for his little Lucy, but at the same time he's happy because someday he'll reincarnate and have a good life.
