Chereads / HELL AS MAN / Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

Lucifer smiles awkwardly. "I'm fine." He leans back staring at something behind Laura.

Laura turns back, and she saw a group of five thugs staring at her awkwardly. She knew they were discussing about her but what she didn't know was what they were saying. "I'm fine, this is one reason why I don't like going to bars."

Lucifer glances at her, his eyes now darkened with jealousy and anger.

Laura is confuse, she wonders why he was so angry. He shifts uncomfortably on his sit. Laura could tell he was restraining himself from doing something.

Lucifer hated what the thugs were saying about Laura, he could sense his anger raging. He tries to control himself from doing something rash in front of Laura but the men only gazes at him intimidatingly angering him the more.

Laura could sense the exchange of manly emotions in the bar, she glances at the thugs whose eyes were on them. Her breath cuts as she meets eyes with them. She knew if they should stay one more minute things would get out of hand. "Lucifer, I think we should go somewhere else."

"No, I'm fine. I'm really enjoying this." Lucifer gulps down some drink.

Laura sighs. She knew what he meant by the word enjoying it wasn't in a good way. She glances at the men again. Oh no they were approaching. She immediate looks away and wish for nothing more but for the Earth to swallow her.

Bonjour bébé! Que dis-tu? On sort et on s'amuse. One said tapping Laura's shoulder.

Laura gasps. She glance at Lucifer his gaze pierced through her. "Je ne parle pas très bien le français." She said still staring at Lucifer.

"Ok, I can speak English." He replies.

Laura sighs.

"I was saying we should move out together, have fun and leave your boring boyfriend here to think of his miserable self." The man said.

What? Laura thought, Lucifer wasn't her boyfriend. She stares at him as if to ask for his intervention. But the looks on his eyes only tells her to solve it herself.

Laura gasps. "No, I would prefer to stay."

The man grins, and lifts his hand off Laura.

"Look at you pretty." Another thug said. "You are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. It's awful you live a boring life."

Lucifer growls. "Be careful who you sweet-talk punk."

"What?!" The thug spat.

Laura knew this wasn't going to end well. "Lucifer, we should go now."

Lucifer glares at her.

Laura tries to get up, but the first thug presses her down.

Laura gasps.

"Do you know who we are? We are the red angels, sons of Lucifer the devil himself." Retorted one of the thug.

Lucifer scoffs. "Sons, I don't even recognize."

At this Laura tries to laugh but she withheld it, she felt relieve that Lucifer was handling the thugs but bothered about what he might do if the thugs doesn't leave. She gaze at them, they were huge muscular men with creepy tattoos. Lucifer on the other hand was slightly above average. If she didn't know he was the devil, she could have pitied him. But she still doen't want him to do anything rash either.

"So tell me. What kind of son doesn't recognize their father when they see him." Lucifer narrows his gaze on them.

One of the men laughs cynically, Laura could tell from the looks of things that he was their leader. "We aren't here to play games pal. If you know what's good for, you better leave.... Now. Understand." He glance at Laura. "The girl stays."

Laura gasps, she stares at Lucifer. His eyes blazing red, he smiles at her. She knew something really bad would happen very soon. "No, I won't stay."

"Well you're wrong." One of the men yells.

"Didn't you heard her. If I go, she comes with me." Lucifer tries to conceal his anger, his bowl of patience already emptied.

The leader gestures to his gangs. "Take him out of here."

One of the thug tries to grab Lucifer on the shoulder, but what happened next happened in a blink of an eye. The man saw himself mysteriously being tossed to the roof and he fell on his back without Lucifer moving an inch.

The rest of the gang froze confused.

Lucifer gulps down some drink. "You should learn to keep your pals to yourself."

The man tries to get up, but he saw a dagger hovering about 2 inch above his face. He shifts backward continuously until he is stopped by the wall. "Please don't hurt me."

"Lucifer." Laura said in a whisper.

The dagger stabs the man slightly on his chest and pulls out immediately. The man gave out a sharp yell.

Lucifer stands up to meet him, when he got to him he squat to his level. "Look at me."

The man stares at him, he saw his blazing eyes which seem to Pierce through his soul. "Please don't kill me."

The other men stood there frightened, one of them took a chair and hits Lucifer on the back with it, but instead he felt himself hitting the empty air and the next thing he is embraced by cold shivering wind.

"Where is he?" The leader gasps. "Please whoever you are don't kill him, he was only obeying my orders."

Lucifer glares at the begging man. "No, I won't kill him, I would cut off his hands, then I would cut off your tongue."

"Lucifer don't." She stands up to meet him.

Lucifer turns to her, the other men groans and fell down as they felt their soul being burnt by simply staring at his eyes. Lucifer turns away quickly so Laura couldn't see him least he might hurt her.

"Lucifer don't hurt them. We should leave now." Laura held his arm and looks up to him.

Lucifer still looks away from her. "Laura you shouldn't see me like this."

"Does it matters?" Laura said softly. "Look at me Lucifer."

She held his chin with her hands and turned his face to meet her's. The other men looks down immediately, they were being tormented by merely looking at his eyes.

Lucifer stares at Laura, he could see the glimmering red light of his eyes in her's. He wonders why she wasn't being hurt by staring into his eyes. Her blue eyes were hypnotising, making him willing to bend to her will.

"Let's get out of here." She pulls Lucifer along.

"Please wait." The man previously stabed by the dagger calls. "My brother, please where is my brother?"

"He is dead." Lucifer snaps.

The man sobs. "He is all I've got."

Lucifer tries to leave but Laura holds him back, he stares at her. "What now?"

"Where is his brother? Where did you take his brother to." Laura inquires.

"The Artic." Lucifer tries to leave again but Laura still pushes him back.

"Bring him back." Laura pleads.

Lucifer stares at her. "Why?"

"Because it is the right thing to do." Laura said.

Lucifer felt hyonotized by Laura's eyes. He sighs, then snaps his fingers.

When Lucifer snapped his fingers the man appears covered with snow and glistering piece of ice, his beards were already frozen at the tips.

Laura stares at both men with pity, she felt guilty for what just happened.

Lucifer hates that Laura felt concern for the men, he felt his heart churn. Jealousy and anger crept into his mind. "Can we go now?"

Laura gasps. "O..k yyyees.

Lucifer sighs. "Come here."

He pulls Laura to himself, he sniff on her hair. He teleports them from the bar.

Laura looks around, they were somewhere else, perhaps in a park. She saw people chatting, she saw couples strolling down the lane giggling. She wanted to ask Lucifer where they where, but he doesn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Are you okay?" She manage to say.

He stares at her, he smiles. He wonders why Laura seem to care about him. "I'm fine."

Laura sighs, his eyes were back to their natural gold colour. "Are we just going to stand here or you wanna do something else."

Lucifer sighs. "As long as I'm with you, we can have it either way."

Laura stare at him. "Let's go sit over there." She points at a bench.

The pair strolls to the bench and sat down.

Laura admires the place, from the familiar views of things she could tell that she was back to New York.

Lucifer stares at Laura. "Why did you stop me from punishing those men."

Laura stare at him, she saw seriousness in his eyes. "Because it was the right thing to do."

Lucifer sighs.

"If I had let you brought more harm to those men, I could have felt the guilt for the rest of my life." Laura added.

"Even when they were about to molest you?" Lucifer said.

Laura frowns. "Let's not talk about that."

Lucifer grins. "I felt so angry tonight Laura, I've never felt like this before. I thought I was going to kill someone."

"Don't say that." Laura scolds.

"No, I mean it." Lucifer snaps.

Laura glares at him. "I think you need a drink Lucifer."

Lucifer chuckles. "Laura I'm fine."

Laura stares at him, she never thought she would see him like that again. His smile excited her, she once again admires his trace of beards.

Lucifer stares at her, he chuckles one more time.

Laura knew he had heard her thoughts. "It's not funny, you are not making it any easier."

Lucifer took her palm, and touches his face with it. "You don't have to fear me Laura, or restrain yourself from me."

Laura smiles inwardly. She felt Lucifer's face, she felt his slight beards. She could see his fangs, and she touches it with her thumb, she love the way it felt, it slowly elongates beneath her finger.

Lucifer, likes the way Laura's hand felt on his face, he never could have imagined feeling like that, he had never let anyone touch him not even his mistresses. He had never kissed anyone before but now he felt like kissing Laura. Laura's hand although cold send warmth throughout his body. His gums felt itchy from his fangs. Laura touches his fangs and he could felt them elongating.

Lucifer holds Laura's hand. "You should stop now, least I do what we both will might regret later."

Laura gulps, she never knew she was lost touching him. She felt her cheeks burn from blushing.

Lucifer sighs. "I should take you home now."

"Ok." Laura stutters.

"Come on." He opens his arms for Laura to lean on him.

Laura leans her head on his chest, and Lucifer wraps her with his hand.

The next minute, Laura saw herself in her room with Lucifer, both sitting on the couch in Laura's room.

Laura felt strangely relax the way he held her to his chest, Lucifer felt reluctant to let go either.

"Laura, you need to get a good night sleep." Lucifer whispers.

"Are you going now?" Laura asks.

"I could stay if you want me to." Lucifer tucks her hair behind her ear.

Laura looks up to him to know if he meant what he said, she saw his fangs glimmering from the dim light in her room. "Are they always like that."

Lucifer smiles. "No, I have no idea why they're out now."

Laura tucks in her face in his chest. "Just stay, till I fall asleep. Do you mind?"

"No."

Laura sighs.

Lucifer puts off the lights using his magical powers. He felt Laura relax, her heart beating slowly against his chest, he knew she had fallen asleep. He wasn't willing to leave yet, he felt relax with Laura in his arms, he strokes her hair slowly until he felt dizzy, and he gave up to the sleep which envelopes him.
