Sweetest Sinner (Fallen Kingdoms II.)

Worst kind of dream

Lucifer walked up and down in his office. Outside of his massive windows there was still a beautifully piled, fresh snow. Satan looked a little troubled as his King paced. Finally he gathered his courage and cleared his throat nervously before he spoke.

- My Lord... What happened to you? - Lucifer's eyes flashed red as blood at Satan and he pulled his tail between his legs.

-If I knew I wouldn't be so nervous! - Satan took a step back and asked carefully.

- Are you feeling unwell My Lord? - Lucifer laughed and sent a glass of whiskey down before he threw the glass directly into the fireplace. With a loud crashing sound a few rays of fire exploded out of the fireplace due to the remaining few drops of alcohol in them. Lucifer laughed and held his head in his hands.

- Have you ever saw something while you were asleep Satan? - he asked and Satan shook his head.

- What did you saw My Lord? - a cold sweat ran down on Lucifer's spine. The smile disappeared from his face as he remembered what he saw. Valerie, in a beautiful red gown, pearls sparkled on her dress and in her hair. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Suddenly someone grabbed her by her throat and she struggled for air. She extended her hand towards him bit Lucifer, despite all his efforts couldn't reach her. The unknown person pushed her threw a window. Lucifer jumped after Valerie but she burned in the flames of Hell. - These images were the reason Lucifer kept the snow piled up. Until there is so mich snow, the fire will be extinguished. He glanced at Satan who still waited for his answer but he just growled.

- It doesn't matter. - Satan was really worried. He heard about premonitions, like Lord Raziel had, his King hadn't got any as of today. He just hoped that this wasn't a premonition, because if it was, it was scary enough to frighten the Lord on Hell. Lucifer jumped up from his chair and rushed towards the door, grabbing his long, black leather coat and thick red scarf off of the hanger.

- Where are you going My Lord?- Satan asked and he just smirked at him.

- None of your business. - Lucifer rushed out and s**t the doors behind him. He walked to the nearest window, opened it wide and jumped out. The maids looked after him as he fall down and opened his black feathered wings in last moment before he could've collided into the ground. I'm not being stupid, I just make sure it wasn't a premonition. She goes usually to the Earth, maybe she visited a party. I'm not worried about Valerie, I'm just worried about my freedom. Only she can destroy the seal. Yeah, that's it. Lucifer's thoughts rushed while he flew to Valerie's place. He tried to find a reason of his raving heart and sweaty palms. He didn't dare to close his eyes since he saw Valerie burn into ashes. When he landed on the clearing Valerie's house was supposed to be, he realized, he doesn't know how to find it.

- My Lord, what are you doing here? - for Lucifer's luck, Belyar appeared behind him with Cinnamon in his heels. The dog walked to Lucifer and begged with his huge paws for petting. Lucifer smiled a bit before he stroke behind all six ears of the big doggie.

- I was looking for Valerie. I need to discuss something with her. - he said and Belyar looked a bit off.

- She isn't at home My Lord. She went to Earth a few days ago and haven't returned yet. - Lucifer's chest started to hurt and he felt a squeezing feeling around his heart. Belyar noticed his nervousness and said.

- May I offer a warm tea before you return My Lord? - Lucifer couldn't think clearly so he nodded. The house appeared as Belyar made a few movements and Lucifer followed the tiny reaper into Valerie's home. The atmosphere was the same as a few days ago. Tiny fire in the fireplace, nice scents lingered all over the house and her belongings reminded of her existence here and there. Belyar walked to the kitchen and made a big mug of sour cherry tea for Lucifer and himself. Lucifer just stared at the tea for a few moments and Belyar said kindly.

- May I be so reckless to ask, what is troubling you My Lord? - Lucifer looked into Belyar's eyes and sighed. The reaper was once a human, he might heard of the premonitions or what could have happened with Valeire.

- Last night, while I was asleep, I saw something. It seemed so real as a premonition. - he clenched his hand into a fist and hit the top of the table.

- But it can't be! - Lucifer hissed between his teeth and Belyar asked.

- Have you ever had something similar?

- Not as I can recall.

- Would you like to tell me what have you seen my Lord? - Lucifer sighed.

- My worst nightmare. - he said then his eyes widened as Belyar slowly drank a sip of his tea.

- Was this what humans call a dream? - Lucifer asked and Belyar shook his head.

-A dream is usually pleasant, I think you had a nightmare My Lord. - Lucifer sighed in relief.

- So it won't happen? - he asked smiling when the door opened.

- What won't happen? - Valerie asked and Lucifer jumped up from his chair but could hold himself back in time to avoid hugging Valerie. Belyar just looked at the Lord of Hell with a tiny smile. Looks like My Sweetheart won't only bring changes in the Earth. Lucifer was taken aback when he saw Valerie covered in blood. He skipped the distance between them and grabbed her shoulders. He looked deeply into her eyes and his own turned flashing red.

- Who did this to you?! - he asked in a demanding voice and Valerie giggled.

- Try to rephrase this question Lucy... Whom you did this to? - Lucifer calmed.

- It's not your blood. - he stated and Valerie smirked playfully at him. In a higher teasing voice she asked teasingly.

- Oh... Were you worried? How cute! - she wasn't ready for the look in Lucifer's eyes when he said.

- Yes. - but he shook his head and released Valerie quickly. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and lifted his head.

- I was worried that you fled and won't keep your word! - Valerie frowned at him and poked his chest with her right index finger, while her left hand was on her thin waits.

- How come you to accuse me?! - Belyar kept drinking his tea slowly and watched the scene in front of him. Cinnamon looked at him with a confused expression and he whispered to the puppy.

-Pay attention, since there is no circus in Hell, this will be our newest entertainment!- Cinnamon sat next to him and they watched the arguing pair. The King of Hell had a dream and worries about another creature... This is going to be a literally New Year.
