A Date With Lucifer

Chapter 13 - Inner Child

I watched as suddenly the snowmen all started to shake and suddenly.... came to life?

The shook out their hands and one even looked up at me and I swear those black button eyes blinked. I stepped away kind of creeped out but then watched them waddle upto Lucien.

One of them tilted his head and in the most childish, innocent voice said, "Dada!"

Oh My God! Did he just call him dada?! A laugh broke free before I knew and one look at Lucien's face had me laughing louder. He looked so flustered and awkward.

He gently pried away the wooden hands clinging onto his leg and pointed at Benny, "I'm not your Dada,"
The little snowman tilted his head to the side again and waddled off towards Benny.

Benny hadn't really moved, he was just staying there looking at us and waved at the small guy who just went over to him.

"Did you just give them life?"

"Not life exactly just... I don't know how to explain it," he was standing next to me now and the both of us watched the smaller snowmen run around Benny tripping and falling.

This reminded me of Olaf. The more time I spent with Lucien the more I get reminded of Frozen. "Are you sure you have not watched Frozen? You're giving very strong Elsa vibes,"

"Who? Is that some new God?"

I laughed. "No, it's a movie character, we'll watch it later,"

"I feel overweight," A voice called out. It was Benny. "You made me too fat to move," he accused Lucien.

"Be grateful I created you in the first place," he snapped back.

I laughed as he argued with a literal snowman. "Just fix him so that he can walk around,"

"Thank you!" That was Benny again.

I watched as Benny too slowly started to move around and soon all four of them were playing. I opted to watch and surprisingly Lucien too sat down next to me on the snow. My butt which was freezing just minutes before warmed up as Lucien sat down. Bastard. Couldn't he have warmed it for me before.

But would the snow melt under the warmth leaving me with wet pants? No right? Lucien was sitting too so probably no. I was pulled away from my thoughts as laughter filled the air. All 4 snowmen were laughing. (And even though Benny looked kinda wonky the other 3 were absolutely adorable.)

And I soon found out why. Lucien next to me looked stunned as snow covered the top part of his hair. His expression too then disappeared under more snow as 1 of the smaller snowmen hit him straight in the face with a snowball.

They were all giggling. Like giggling. It was so adorable. I wanted to video it but then how was I going to explain giggling, walking snowmen? I was debating it in my head when something cold hit me on the side of my head making me gasp. Snow slid down and some fell onto my shoulder.

I got up and shook it off cursing as some got inside my coat. Turning around all the snowmen were pointing at Lucien who looked innocent and in mock outrage glared at them.

"You're done!" I balled some snow up and threw at him and watched it hit him in the chest. He grinned and prepared to throw more at me and I screamed "Snowball fight!"

And soon we had teams and we're building fortresses. Of which his was obviously huge because of course he used magic. He had built an actual fortress. Talk about unfair. Whatever I was going to win.

"No using magic," I shouted and my voice echoed through the space. His head popped up from the top of the fortress and shrugged and showed the fortress from his hand. I rolled my eyes, "No magic from now!"
