A Promise [Callie]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

LuciferSven;;

He had silently slipped out of the castle, avoiding having to bring guards along for his 'safety'. Please. If anything, Lucifer would be protecting those idiots... from trees. The cowards. Yet, there were a select few that he was proud of who could fight harder than any mortal man could at his prime.

The immortal dark angle flexed his wings and let a smile slip on his face as he remembered exactly why he had avoided idiot guards. He was sneaking out to see his dark winged (love?) angel. Ha! Sneaking. It sounded almost as if he were a small child who was forbidden to leave his room. Actually, more like a teenager, out to experience a forbidden tryst. Yeah, that was more like what he was doing.

The forest around him seem to breath, to expand as he stepped into the center of a well hidden clearing. It seemed as if the earth knew his secrets and was trying desperately to escape from his presence. Yet, it couldn't. The forest may be alive, but it could not run from the hatred that used to well up deep inside him. The hatred that pooled in his mind, in his soul everytime Kia came around. Or worse yet; Fate.

So he waited, leaning up against a tree that creaked and groaned as if he were made of poison. It pained him, that he could cause such reactions in the earth. He tended to cause worse in humans. He hoped dearly he would not cause something like that with Callie. She actually seemed to not be afraid of him, or want to mock him or pity him. And he accepted that, and he most definately welcomed that.

Callie slipped from amongst the treelines, her hands in her pockets. Her silver hoodie draped loosely over her head fell away as a breeze flew by, she gathered her body closer as she approached the gates. She stopped a ways away as she realized he was to her right, her face turned into a flattered smirk. She looked at the ground, and did not read his mind, even though she wanted to.

[/font]

"Waiting for me? For a second there I thought I would have to wait....How are you Lucifer, It's been a while."

She turned with a smile, her voice always warm and welcoming. Shewalked over to him, her walk, quiet and graceful and approached him, she wrapped her arms around him, her head gently pressed against his chest. She looked up at him to await his answer, her eyes gently examining his. She didn't want to overwhelm him, so she let go and leaned back, putting the hood on once more. Her blonde hair once loose, now hanging down in strands was being blown across her face. The slightly cold air causing her to be still, rather than active.[/center]

Lucifer stared up at the sky, his eyes searching for some kind of answer to his existance. Why had he been allowed to escape the clutches of the underworld? Why had he been allowed to live again? Only to live eternally? Lucifer shook his head to rid the questions from his mind. He was here to meet Callie.

Speaking of which, here she came. He saw her and a smile slipped onto his face. She approached him and wrapped her arms around his body. He wouldn't lie and say he hated the contact. Her head resting on his chest; it was pleasant. When she looked up to him, he bent his head down, pressing his lips softly to her forehead. "I wouldn't wait for anyone else." And it was true. He never waited for people, they tended to wait for him more than often.

She pulled away from him and he desperately wanted to reach out and pull her right back to him- and never let go. But the actions seemed to brash, so he restrained himself from doing so. His wings shook a little, his body wanting to take flight from these unfamiliar feelings. But his mind told him to stay. That it would be okay to open himself up to another person.

Lucifer sat down in the grass, patting his hand next to him. "Please, come sit with me." It was half question and half demand. He didn't want to force her into anything she didn't want. He didn't want to shatter her like he had with the world.

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie smirked and she bent down, and turned sitting next to him. It was funny how he seemed to hesitate, he feared losing her or losing the moment. She looked at him and turned her head an inch sideways. His thoughts practically yelled caution.

[/font]

"Please relax, I'm not going to fly away Lucifer, come, tell me what is worrying you, please?

Callie suddenly feared for her own sake, and hunched over a little. She opened her mouth to apologize, but closed it,for she feared her words may have hurt him. She just hated to see him so full of fear, fear that wasn't even logical. She frowned a little and looked at him, resting her head on his shoulder. She knew he had had horrible losses, she quit reading his thoughts.[/font][/center]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

LuciferSven;;

He smiled as she leaned against him. Her words traveling through his body at the contact. Yes, he did need to relax. But he wondered if he should tell her exactly what was on his mind. She could read minds right? It would be easier for her to see for herself than for him to explain. But he didn't want her to see the terrors of what comes from death. The underworld, Hades, all the demons that tried their hardest to drag you under and embed you full into the ground. The screams, the violence, and worst of all, the cold. How lonely it was down there. He didn't want her to see that he had been one of the best minions of Hades, that he had done the underworld's bidding. He had captured souls, wreaked havoc, and contained people in fear.

He had left that life behind, mostly. It still followed him around when he was angry. The world around him began to whither if he could not stay calm. Genetics were not the cause of his black wings, his servitude was the cause. "It's complicated. I want you to know, but I don't want to frighten you, Callie." Her name seemed to roll of his tongue with presicion.

"I want you to know what you're getting into, but I don't want you to leave. I haven't found an immortal that I've liked nearly as much as you. Everyone I ever cared about has whithered away, so they never had to know about my past." He answered. He wondered if she would accept him. Would she forgive him for what he had done?

[/color][/ul][/blockquote][/size]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie sighed slowly, she shook her head. As much as she wanted to read his mind, and know exactly, it was better for him to tell her. It'd help him, accomplish something, and for her to have more trust. She knew he was a darker side of what she was used to, but he had enough strength to overcome it, and how so, now, was it that she, so fragile, managed to shatter the very unstoppable force of chaos? She giggled and leaned away from him, she rested her elbows on her knees, her head bent resting on her palms.

[/font]

"Just explain Lucifer, I have forgiven you already, without really knowing why you fear to loose "me" or is it "this"...but, as I said before, I cannot judge, why judge when you know all the simple and evil and even the kindest thoughts? Judgement is not my power. To present, is. I do not dress up for you, not in disrespect toward you, but equality of myself. What I am, is what I am. Who I am, is who I am, and what I do may not always be right, but it is what I do. Do not fear tomorrow, do not waste a second in fear. Cherish the moment, and slow down at your favorite parts. Even if we cannot die, it is proven that our souls can...."[/i][/font]

Callie raised her head, and moved her right hand forward pressing her hand against his heart. She looked into his eyes and smiled slightly, before looking at the castle, letting him have time to react, and settle.[/font][/center]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

LuciferSven;;

Lucifer chuckled at her words. It was not mocking her, but mocking himself. He lifted his arm over her shoulders, resting it there lightly. "Your wisdom is one of many reasons I like you. I don't want to lose either this or you." He spoke, taking a deep breath and mulling over her words. He didn't know what to do. He could decide what he wanted. He had never had to do this with anyone before. All the kings of the castles died, yet he remained, watching them as they made critical mistakes and others making their names in history.

He looked Callie in the eyes and he could see something he couldn't obtain. Her heart was pure, and open, judgement free. But his was blackened, closed off, and had chains trying to drag it back to the underworld. But maybe she could free him. He reached out and grabbed her hand, his rough finger tips feeling the soft skin of her hand and his eyes watched them. "I was a servant of Hades, believe it or not. I used to do terrible things to people. Everyday I wonder why they all died and yet I was given immortality. I'm not proud of what I did, but somedays I am proud. That little peice that is still stuck in servitude wants to come out and continue its line of work. But I don't want to hurt people anymore.

"Its that one little peice that kills mortals who can get close to me. It poisons them with mortal illnesses and they die. But because even Hades can't kill immortals, neither can I. Immortals are the only people who are safe around me. But Kia betrayed me, Fate betrayed me, and so I've been left with no one. You've brought me a feeling that I haven't had in a long time Callie, so I'm afraid that this peice of me may find a way to destroy you too." There. He had said it. For the first time since his escape, he had told someone of what had been whirling in his mind, making every day of his life filled with torment. His eyes looked up to Callie, waiting to see her reaction.

[/color][/blockquote][/ul][/size]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie started to giggle, his fears bubbling to the surface and released, and now he feared her response. She draped her arms around his neck and laughed, she imagined it was a sight to see. A dark and light angel, in love, was it love? It was to her, but possibly to him, or just a game? She stopped laughing and smirked as she leaned away.

[/font]

"You worry too much, by all means, run, run for the hills, this monster with hardly any heart at all, has escaped..."[/i] She laughed and smirked at him for a second before continuing. Sarcasm once clearly in her voice, no longer remained. "I like you Lucifer, love, if that is allowed to be said. I forgive you, for I know, I know with all I am, wisdom, age, whatever you may call it, smarts, brains, I realize you'd never do it again. We all have chains, and we all need someone. You are my impurity, my little mistake, but love is a mistake, a very happy mistake. as I am your little purity, that little fragile girl, so used to gentle winds, has now rushed against a storm, and does said storm love her back?"[/font]

She leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, she stood up. Her hands once more shoved into her pockets. The castle, his castle, dark, he was dark. And as they were both exact opposites, together they were. Obviously he cared, but for how long, until what? She couldn't say, for she chose to not read his mind. It was up to him to discuss.[/center]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

LuciferSven;;

He watched her laugh and a perplexed look crossed his face. She didn't look frightened of him. Actually, she looked as if her fondness of him had grown a bit strong. Would it be appropriate to say he loved this creature that was here with him. She was not afraid of him, her intelligence was infinite, and she seemed to cleanse him of all his past sins against mortals. He listened to her speak and a smile replaced his puzzlement. Wow, he didn't think that he had smiled this much at any time in his life, but here he was, showing his smile for this lovely woman who claimed her love for him.

Without any restraint, he stood up as well, grabbing her waist and pulling her body to his. Now that she had said it, he wasn't going to let her go. He smirked, "Of course saying love is allowed and of course the storm loves you back." He purred, a predatory gleam dancing in his eyes. She had initiated the chase and he would persue her with everything he had.

[/color][/blockquote][/ul][/size]

[¿EmoHowl?]

Callie smirked as he pulled her closer, she wrapped her arms around his and rested her chin gently on his chest as she looked up at him. Her hair hanging down, loose strands swept across her face, as her hood fell away. She smiled, standing onto her tiptoes to press her lips to his. She lowered herself back onto her feet, to speak.

[/font]

"I'll be here, as long as you are. Whether in the underworld or not, I'm yours. I love you Lucifer, that is not too much to ask of you is it....? I truly do....

She looked into his eyes, her question still registering she could tell. She kissed his chin, and smiled holding him closer as a breeze came. His body warm and muscular, it was funny how no cold ever seemed to touch him. And she knew it would kill him if he lost her, or atleast wound him deeply and grieviously. She made a promise to herself, that she'd be there for him, forever.[/font][/center]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

Lucifer felt as if everything were right. He felt as if her could die in this instant and die happy. But alas, he was immortal and could not die- and he couldn't leave Callie alone. He wouldn't hurt her like that. He pulled her closer, almost as if he was trying to mesh their bodies together. A half smile-half smirk slid on his face. "No, it's never too much of you to ask. And I love you too. I never want to see you unhappy. I never want to leave your side." He answered, leaning down to finish his statement by connecting their lips once again.

His hands rested in the small of her back, and hesmiled at her. She brought out the best in him, her clear soul making sure that his blackened one stayed in check. He had never felt this way before with anyone. She was something special to him and he knew that he would break without her. But he didn't want to seem too clingly, but these feelings were so sudden, so intense that he couldn't ignore them.

"And this was how I had wanted it to be, and here I have it. Perfection, my Lucifer." [/i][/size]

Her voice gently whispered it, as if enjoying the words as she spoke them. With her arms gently latched around his waist, there she stood. A breeze blew, and stirred her concern once more, and she was getting a bit hungry. She looked up at him as she spoke.

"Not to interrupt the moment..."[/i] She giggled, hugging him. "Do you know anywhere we can sit down and eat, love?"[/i][/ul][/size]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

He inhaled the scent that surrounded Callie as she spoke to him and he listened, concidering her words. She called him perfection when the only perfect part of him was that he had been the prefection of destruction. In truth, it was her who was perfect. She had such knowledge, such kindeness that Lucifer looked pure black and she was pure white. His mind drifted to the upcoming holidays: Kwanza, Christmas, Hanukah, Yule, and Solstice. Maybe, just maybe he could hold a ball and then announce to everyone that Callie was his and only his.

Right as her stomach grumbled, his gurggled in reply, almost as if their stomachs were communicating with one another. He brushed that silly notion off with a silent chuckle as she asked him about food. He looked at her, his golden eyes tracing over every line of her face that looked at him with such kindness that no one had ever shown truely. "I don't think there's anything to eat out here in the forest. Well... berries? But, we could go to the castle and I could cook you something there. What do you say?" He inquired, leaning down and placing a kiss on her sweet lips, chastely before pulling back with a grin.

[/color][/blockquote][/ul][/size]

[¿EmoHowl?]

[/color][/size]

"Berries...psssh. Cooking sounds nice, I could help if you wish.."

Callie had a flirtatious grin spread over her face before it faded as they drew nearer to the castle. She wasn't sure how it'd be in there, would she be admitted, or declined? She had literally, never been inside before, suddenly his thoughts entered her mind. "Her perfection...making me black.." she looked at him and frowned and hugged him. He was so hard on himself, she was who she was, he was who he was. Opposites attract....[/ul]

[!Wolfo.x;;]

He grasped her hand, walking beside her with something akin to pride swelling within his chest. These were the finer points of a relationship that he had never had. He had never walked side by side with anyone, he had never shared fleeting glances, and he had never eaten with them. They had only wanted to be affectionate behind doors, or they only wanted him when he was powerful. Sure, he had loved them temporarily, and they only lusted after him and the wealth he had. Never had anyone been like Callie. These feelings she caused were entirely foreign to him and he wished they would never end.

Before he knew it, they were at the castle, the guards looking astonished that he was coming back when they never saw him leave. And coming back with a beautiful woman by his side no less. His black wings flexed, a sign that the guards had learned was a warning, when their eyes drifted over Callie's form. He broke his hand away from hers, placing it on the small of her back as he guided her inside. "And here we are, my humble abode." He chuckled, leading her to the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a seat, love. What do you want to eat?" He asked, gesturing to the small table in the large kitchen that was used when the entire castle wasn't eating together.

"If it is not too much to ask, I'd like some rice with beans on top. red beans that is. Strange food I'm sure, but it's good for you. I'm kinda a freak on good food."[/i][/size]

She slightly blushed as she said that. But it was true, she really liked healthy food, and beans and rice were good protein. Even as an immortal she was a freak on health, it just didn't make sense to her, why not act human? She smiled at him before looked at the door. Sometimes, it was odd to her, how she'd always noticed small things in rooms. The door was for once, fitted exactly. She looked around, everything was. Nothing was out of proportion. She looked at Lucifer, and why was it, she felt so content with him? And it dawned on her, he'd always be there. He'd always protect and love her.[/ul]
