The Searchlight
**
"Holy Heavens, you scared me. Who the hell are you?" Michael asked as he used his hands to clean the alcohol soiled clothes he was now wearing.
"My name is Felicia. I'm sorry if I scared you, but you look sooo, familiar, I could bet that I must have seen you somewhere before? So I walked up to you." The girl said.
Michael sighed while he continued to clean his clothe; "well I wish I could say the same about you but I don't know..."
He paused on his statement as he looked at her face, there some sense of familiarity in her eyes. He couldn't rest figure out what it was, but the only person he knew that had those kind of eyes was long gone.
"My name is michael." He said on a second thought.
"I could swear that you look really farmiliar too but I don't know." He added.
"Very funny. So what are you doing here in the bar? You having trouble sleeping?" Felicia asked.
"Well I came to see the owner of the hotel but..."
"Felix?" Felicia asked completing Michael's statement for him
"Yes Felix, how do you know him?" Michael asked.
"Well let's just say, we are fastly becoming friends." She replied giggling. "How did you about you?." She added.
"Well let's just say, we are best friends.." he replied.
"Well if you are here in search of him, then I'm sorry that you would be waiting for quite a very long time because he went out with 'his friends' and they didn't seem like they would be returning anytime soon." Felicia said as she sipped her drink.
"So you better get comfortable with me because we'd be talking for a long time if you want to wait." She added.
Michael sighed. "Alright then." He replied.
Michael observed Felicia for a while as they talked. He thought they had been chatting as though they have known each other for years, and yet he had only just met her. He was about to comment on the issue when he saw a bright light shine from a distance. The light distracted him for a few moments.
Michael stood up from where he sat and walked towards the light.
"The searchlight... Some one is searching for someone using the celestial searchlight." He whispered to himself.
Momentarily He found out that he was already outside the hotel. He turned around and no one around him seemed to have noticed the light. - yeah right - it was the Celestial searchlight as he had guessed earlier. No human could see it.
He was about to track down the searchlight, although it seemed like it was coming from a very far distance. - that was when he remembered that he had company earlier on.
"Oh shit Felicia." He whispered to himself as he ran back into the hotel, but surprisingly she was not where he had left her.
He looked around as fast as he could, but she seemed to be no where to be found. He sighed briefly as he ran back outside - that was when he saw her - but he was shocked at what he saw her doing.
He saw her staring at the light. He looked around, to be sure that no other person really saw the light, and he found out that they where busy carrying out their normal duty.
He watched Felicia for a brief moment in shock as she started walking towards the light. He wasn't really show if she was going to chase the light to it's source, or she was just going to get a clearer view. But all he knew was that he was not going to go towards her direction anymore.
He needed to go to heaven and find out which of his siblings had come to earth. He needed to blow her cover without her being aware of it.
"You motherfucker, I'm gonna find out who you truly are." he swore as he went to the opposite direction.

Felix and the vampires where already in the African boundary when he stopped abruptly causing the other vampires with him to stop too. He seemed to be looking at something in shock.
"Uhm why are we stopping?, Is everything okay?" Tracy asked.
"The light.." He muttered .
"What light?" Linder asked.
Felix sighed briefly; they probably could not see it because they where human vampire converts and not Original Breeds - they still had some human blood in them.
"It's the Celestial searchlight. And it seems to be coming from them. They are searching for someone, probably Lucifer." He explained.
He saw that the light was moving away from his visibility.
"They are probably taking the search to another part of the universe, perhaps they where not able to find him on earth. We need to stop them before they beam the searchlight in hell and literally spoil our plans. We need to move now and fast." He added as he dashed towards the light. This time faster than before. All the other vampires follow suit, trying to meet up his pace.

"He's no where to be found on earth" Divina whispered with her eyes tightly closed.
"Yes we can see that too." Luciana replied.
"What if he's dead? Let's check inside of the earth's Crust, incase he has been burried." Divina suggested.
"No, there's no time for that, we need to move our search to hell now. Besides who would be so foolish as to burry Lucifer's body on earth, when hell is the most secure place in the universe?." Luciana asked countering....
Divina sighed briefly, noting some sense in what Luciana had just said.
"Okay then. We are moving the searchlight to hell now." She said, with her eyes still closed as the rest of them all.
Suddenly they heard a sound as though people had barged into the hut.
At first they thought it was the villagers, so they pretended as though they where praying and did not need distraction.
"Guys please excuse us we dont need distraction in our prayers." Luciana said.
Their eyes where still closed, until they heard an unexpected voice ..
