Lilith sat and watched the sun rise over Lake Lucerne, feeling the warmth on her skin with a soft sigh of bliss, her breath turning to white smoke in the frigid winter air.
Her leathers creaked as she shifted against the railing of the viewing platform, her long black hair hanging down her back.
Slipping a cigarette between her lips, she snapped her fingers, a flame singeing the end and allowing her to take a long, deep draw on it.
Exhaling, she blew out smoke devils that chuckled into the ether. The little demons gave her a thought.
One brother won't bite the bait... maybe another will...
Putting the cigarette between her lips, she dug her nails into her wrist, drawing blood with a soft hiss. As it dripped onto the ancient wood, she knew she had a few seconds before one of the holy idiots came sniffing.
Sure enough, a second or so after her skin sealed, a young male came onto the platform, looking around cautiously.
"Excuse me, young lady, but have you seen..." he trailed off when he saw her eyes, and then the true face beneath. "You!"
Moving fast, she pinned him to the wood. He was young, or he would have overpowered her. She dug her nails into his throat, and spoke in a sibilant whisper.
"Where. Is. Lucifer?"
"I don't know... he's not in Hell or Heaven..." the angel croaked. Lilith dug her claws in deeper, drawing silvery blood.
"Don't lie to me, angel."
"He's in New York... a gym..."
"A gym... what gym?" She snarled. The angel didn't answer.
Putting her free hand to his head, she read his memories and saw flashes of a state of the art building, making her smile.
"So the devil wants to exercise... let's see if I can't oblige him..." she chuckled sinfully, then forced demonic essence into his head, smiting him dead in seconds.
Kicking the body off the platform, she teleported across the world, landing in the building she had seen in the angel's memories.
Looking round at the humans in tight clothing, she altered her appearance to match them then leaned on a door frame, looking for Lucifer. Her eyes were drawn to a tall, muscular blonde male in the corner who was hammering away on a punch bag.
Biting her lip, Lilith watched him. As if aware of her scrutiny, the man turned and met her gaze, his eyes flashing silver. Lilith gulped.
Lucifer...
She blinked, and he was gone. Then a voice whispered from behind her, making Lilith both freeze in horror and clench her fists in sheer arousal.
"Why are you here, demon....?" It asked, sounding somehow both utterly menacing yet undeniably seductive. Lilith turned to face him, his vessel gazing down at her.
The vessel was tall, seemingly chiselled from granite and considerably handsome, his trousers hanging low on sculpted hips, but it was unmistakably Lucifer. The aura of immense angelic power exuded like the ominous buildup to a tropical storm.
Lilith gave him a shy smile, running a fingernail down the ridge that defined his muscles. "I came to speak to you, Lucy..."
"Call me that again, demon, and I'll make sure you cannot speak for a thousand years."
