Revealed Himself

"Hellooo!!, I'm here.. you said you wanted to see me." Luciana shouted again. But still heard no reply, except the echo from her own voice.

She sighed as she walked further inside the place and looked around but every where seemed to be empty.

"What the fuck is all this." She said hissing as she turned around to go... But as she was about to turn, she heard her name loudly behind her in a masculine voice.

"Luciana!!!" The voice thundered.

Luciana could not help but wonder what a guy would be doing in this empty place, when the meeting was supposed to be between her and another lady - was it the guard? She asked.

But the guard wouldn't have such a loud thunderous voice, no human did. She felt someone standing behind her, so close that she could even feel the person's breath on her neck, but she turned anyway, to see who it was.

But when she turned around, she was relieved to see that it was just Felicia.. wait relieved? Why would she be relieved, she had heard a masculine voice behind her, so she could no help but wonder if they where alone.

"Who else is here?" She asked. Still confused about the voice that she had heard earlier, now she could not tell if it was a fiction of her imagination or something.

Was she running out of her mind? She asked herself as she looked at Felicia who was staring back at her with a smile on her face.

"Who are you, and why did you ask to meet up with me privately? Get that snuggly smile off your face." Luciana stated starting to take control of her emotions while trying to prove that she wasn't scared at all.

But the smile and confidence on Felicia's face made her doubt if she was really not affraid and rather trying to betray her emotions.

"I know this is going to sound strange to you, but I am going to take my time to explain things to you if you want me to." Felicia finally stated breaking the awkward silent that lasted all the while that she had been smiling confidently at Luciana.

Luciana sighed - at least the weird girl was saying something atlast - although she did not fully comprehend what Felicia had just said, but at least she had said something, she could take it up from there.

"What do you mean?. Like what is going to sound strange?..  trust me things cannot be any weirder than they already are now." Luciana replied. Hoping that she was able to convince Felicia that she was capable of grasping what ever it was that she was going to say.

Felicia sighed...  - well here goes nothing - she thought.

"Everyone around here knows me as Felicia - the weirdo that sells coffee down the street - but the truth is that I'm actually on a mission that concerns all of us and the only person that I can trust right now with my true identity is you." She stated.

Luciana sighed in frustration none of the words that Felicia had just said made any sense to her, in fact it even made things more complicated than they already where. 

She felt like screaming her head out, but she did not know how she managed to keep her cool, and the way she calmly as asked her next question surprised even she herself.

"So if you are not who people think you are, who then are you, and how does your mission have anything to do with me?" Luciana asked.

Felicia smiled..

"I am Azrael, and I am here to Give back to Lucifer what rightfully belongs to him." Felicia stated.

Luciana paused for a moment, and when Felicia's words finally sunk into her head, she bursted out into a loud uncontrollable laughter.

Felicia stood in awe as she watched Luciana laugh, she recounted her statement wondering if she had said something funny.. She frowned when she recalled that she had not cracked any joke, since she started her discussion with Luciana.

"What's funny? " She asked Luciana.

Luciana still tried as much as she could to control her laughter, but it seemed impossible, but after a few minutes she was able to put herself in check.

"Okay, first of Azrael is not a lady, secondly, God banished him from existence, and even if you are who you say, you are, don't you think that you are already a little bit too late for your mission?" Luciana asked.

"Oh, the voice" Felicia said.. then she turned her voice back to the thunderous masculine voice that had sounded earlier;

"Don't you think I would have blown my cover long before I even met you if I had used this voice and a masculine stature?" Felicia asked, using Azrael's real voice.

Luciana stood transfixed for a moment, staring at nothing in particular for a few seconds. Azrael knew that she would be really shocked if he had revealed himself at once, so he wanted to take it slowly, but she was the one that made him go this far, by laughing at him and mocking his cover.

But then he wasn't going to stop now, he had to answer her question, even if she was transfixed, atleast she could still hear him.

"Well about be being a little bit late, you could blame that on dad, he always claims that he is never late, the day, Lucifer died, he knew - we where together - he told me that even at this time it was not too late." Azrael stated. Taking a deep breath before completing his statement.

"So all I need now is for you to take me to where he was buried and then we would see what dad can do." He said with finality. But Luciana did not reply.

"Hello... Luciana... Luci.... Luci...." He called, but she did not bulch.

He sighed briefly as he saw that Luciana still stood transfixed. He decided to stop talking and give her sometime to take everything in..
