The Darkness

the virtue of sleep

Michel pov

I look at lucifers sleeping body. they said he would wake up by Friday, a week from today. "Michel" I looked at annaleese with a questioning glance. "whats up?" I asked, "oh its just... I had a thought, nevermid" she said looking at Lucifer again. "tell me" I said, "fine but please do not laugh" annaleese said, I nodded my head. "ok, its very far fetched, but chastity and Lucifer, they where te strongest out of us?" I thought for a moment and than nodded. "well do you not find it strange, they are both asleep for long periods of time?"

I thought about it for moment "no, your right! because Michel and I share thoughts a bit, or memories I should say. he knows what Lucifer will do if someone he cares about is hurt. so he used that tpo kill two birds with one stone" I said. "but there is one thing I do not understand, the way Lucifer was put in a coma like sleep... could they not of done the same thing they did to chastity?" annaleese asked.

"good point. it was quick and easy... but maybe they didn't want us to get suspicious" I said. annaleese smiled "no I do not think that's it... they are trying to cause trouble. and if you put the pieces together it kind of makes sense. what if they didn't want to hurt us directly. like... having a building blow up with Lucifer as the only survivor is very suspicious."

she was right. "your right!" I said "annaleese your a genius!" I said happily, "n-no I wouldn't go that far..." annaleese said her cheeks heating up slightly. "I don't think I ever would've figured that out" I said grinning at her. she smiled politely "w-well I was just thinking about it and..."

"you should talk more, your actually really smart" I said, she blushed a deeper red. "thank you" she piped out, I dropped my hand on her shoulder and grinned wider "well I only speak the truth, anna, I can call you that right?" she nodded her head. "yes, of course" I saw a small smile, "there! I got you to smile!" annaleese giggled as I pointed at her. "you have a pretty smile, do it more, ok?"

"soo are you two going to have moment or what, I'm tired of waiting" hope said from where she sat cross legged on the bed. I laughed blushing slightly, "well... no..." I said, annaleeses black hair had tumbled in front of her eyes and I couldn't help but laugh. next thing I knew I sharpened scissor blade was pointed at my throat, with annaleese on the other end, glaring hard, one eye peeked out from under her black locks. I starred at the blade, which was deadly close to my nose. "a-alright annaleese, put that down ok? s-sorry"

she smiled slightly as the pair of scissors slid back into her sleeve casually. "ok!" I couldn't help but shiver at her soft tone all of a sudden. "now, whats next?" she asked, meanwhile I was standing there, still in shock. "yo, mike, right now is not a good time to stare off into space" ki spoke up with a smile. I rolled my eyes and sat on the bed by lucifers feet. "so what do we do next?" hope asked, the question directed toward me. next thing I knew 4 pairs of eyes where looking at me, waiting for my reply.

"erm.... well just in case the darknes tries to do any more... we should probably stay in hiding for a while" I said. I than heard sirens "shit" I cursed under my breath, "hey, just make sure he doenst die, ok? I have to go, I have a feeling they know wher ei am" I said and lept out the window, lifting the ceil. I latched onto the ledge of the hospital and pulled myself onto the rooftop. I was right, the police where parked outside the hospital. their flashlights blarred everywhere as some ran into the hospital. I dropped down onto the sid eof the building, leaning back on my hands.

"Michel ores, come quietly or we will be forced to inure you" I heard the commanders gruff voice say behind me. my eyes widened and I shook my head, standing up, "go ahead and try" I said in a low tone. I threw my hand out to the side. nothing happened. "your powers do not work at this altitude, Michel" the commander said. I stepped back as he stepped forewards, until I hit the edge, I closed my eyes. I stepped over teh edge and fell. I didn't feel like I was falling, flying actually. my body stopped mid air, my eyes opened, a hand had materialized, slowly a body came with it. "zoe" I said breathlessly, "your promised annaleese you would not die" she said and her body disappeared. my eyes bolted around, I saw a street light right below me and latche donto it, swinging like a trapize artis.

but I soon found 20 guns pointed my way. I put my hands up in surrender as hand cuffs laced around my wrist. soon I found myself in a police car, my head resting on the bared window. for some reason I was completely calm. like I knew some how this would all work out.
