Antidepressant Withdrawal (13)

After telling Lucifer to go to someplace secluded from population to calm down, Aaron could finally do so himself. Because even when he said that he was fine, it only took a glance to the sky and see the clouds above to notice that the weather wasn't normal and far from fine. There was a rainy overcast that seemed to follow Lucifer's mood around. Aaron had told him that his doctor had probably changed his meds to ones that didn't work on him. He hadn't heard what he answered him, distracted as he was because of his headaches. He seriously doubted that there was something sinister afoot, but he'd have said anything at that moment to make Lucifer go away─ not because he wanted to, but he was worried for the people around him.

He had never seen Lucifer like that. The air that surrounded him was heavier, there were sparks of electricity whenever he touched his skin, and his cool blue eyes glinted as he kept looking at his body as if could see right through. Promising a slow death to whoever had done it. It scared him and amazed him at the same time, that he was the cause of that anger and worry.

"So it was true." Aaron turned around, startled, and saw Magdolna behind him in the hall.

"I know it's late, but I need to talk with the head nurse. I think they changed my meds and─" She rolled her eyes at his attempt of a smile.

"Okay, brat. Call Lucifer, now." Aaron blinked at her tone, noticing for the first time the knife on her hand. "I can't pray to him because I don't have a soul, so you need to do it."

"What?'" Aaron tried to step away but she grabbed his arm, stopping him from moving. "Who are you?"

"Don't remember me? I sure remember you, little boy. After all, I was the one who introduced you into your new boy toy life."

She smiled widely, her eyes turning black, and Aaron felt a familiar chill run through his body as he looked at her eyes.

"God, you were that demon," he whispered, trying to move his arm away after recognizing that sadistic smile, even if it was in a different body.

"Glad to know that you aren't a lost cause." Aaron punched her with all his strength, only managing to barely move her, but the grip on his arm was still the same. He moved his leg, ready to kick her but felt his body stiffening.

She smiled with bloody teeth. "Call Lucifer now."

Aaron blinked and couldn't believe how annoyed his next words came. "You know that he's going to kill you, right? He's not exactly in a good mood right now."

"Hard to not notice. Now I've to make sure nothing happens to you because it seems that you were more valuable than I had thought."

"I don't get it."

The expressions on her face had changed completely from what he was used to, but it was the same body he was used to talking to; so that may explain what it was so easier for him to talk back. That or being around Lucifer had already accustomed him to be around powerful beings.

"I've been fooled." She snarled, her smile sharpening. "But I'll get my revenge soon. I need first to clear things out with my lord before some other demon comes and kills you."

"Now, now. What is this?" Aaron looked over his shoulder and saw a strange man behind them, his eyes glinted red as he looked at Magdolna. "It seems that you've brought him to me, my daughter."

"I've been dying to see you again, Dad. You always knew how important this brat was for our Father, didn't you."

It wasn't a question, not that the demon would have bothered to answer as he started to walk forwards. "Guilty."

"And you think I'm going to give the boy toy to you?" She scoffed. "Mammon, even if you manage to take him from me, do you really think Lucifer isn't going to destroy you when he finds you? Because he will."

"Oh, I'm hoping that he finds me." Her face turned serious when the red-eyed demon pulled an old gun from his back. "And I'll use this against him."

"Call Lucifer," she whispered harshly at him and Aaron was ready to do it, but he heard the sound of a patient screaming far away and shut his mouth instantly. Lucifer barely could refrain himself from doing damage in his current annoyed state he was in now, If he called him and saw this he would end destroying the entire place, probably the city.

"No," he whispered back, feeling the grip on his arm tightening.

"That's the spirit, Aaron." The demon cheered before turning towards Magdolna, pointing the gun at her. "Now, Mag. I still need some distraction before I can get all the things ready for Lucifer; and you're going to be really helpful."

Aaron swallowed as the yellow-eyed started chanting some words and saw how black smoke poured from the body next to him. Feeling the grip on his arm finally loose, he helped the body to not fall and grabbed the knife. He turned quickly and tried to stab the demon, but found himself pressed against a wall instead, unable to move.

He smiled as he pressed his hand on Aaron's chest; he felt a burning sensation in him that started to spread from the place he had touched, making his mind go slowly black. "I'm Mammon, Aaron. And I'll be your host tonight."
