Chapter Thirty-Nine: Abduction:

From the start, this wasn’t a good idea. I just had to have Madonna. As soon as I saw her, I went up to the living realm. When was the last time I up here? So much had changed in the world since I was married to Kayako. The human race were so advanced at their time. The roads were smoother. They had cities now. People were starting to live better too. They made life easier for themselves. Plus, there were more of them. (I didn’t know how I feel about it.)

I ended in an empty field in Greece. I can remember every detail about that day. The sky was an overcast. I could only see pockets of blue. The smell of grass teased my nose. I didn’t mind the wind blowing around. I think it had to be early spring, almost that winter was over. So, it still felt a little cool. It was then I noticed there was another scent I was picking up.

Mmm. What is that?

I turned my head. I could hear singing in the distance. A smile curved onto my face. She was here. I could tell. I vanished into thin air. I started flying through the skies. The smell of lavender drew me to the south. I could see every detail of life below me. Animals were grazing and resting. Shepherds were tending to their sheep. Children were playing in the fields. Pretty soon the images blurted together. That lavender scent drew me in faster. I was getting closer to her. When I looked down again, there she was. Madonna sat near the river picking flowers. My heart raced in my chest. I just had to have her. She looked up in time for me to see me. I must have had a horrifying look on my face because she screamed and shielded her eyes. I reached down and grabbed her. She screamed at me to let her go but I wouldn’t.

“Let me go!” she cried. Her fists pounded against my arm in vain. Her cries fell on deaf ears. We disappeared down into the ground.

I have no explanation or justification for my actions. I didn’t think the whole thing through. It just happened. I saw her, went up to the living realm, and grabbed her. I can’t justify my actions. Do I regret what happened? You tell me. Anyway, I took her to my kingdom. When he landed I threw her down onto a chair. She looked like I was about to kill her and eat her. I gave her a sympathetic look.

“I do apologize for what I did to you,” I said. “You just looked so beautiful and I just had to have you.” Madonna stared at me with big eyes.

“You’re Lucifer!” she gasped. I smiled and bowed my head.

“At your service,” I said. Madonna stared up at me with big eyes. At the time, I hoped that I would make her fall in love with me. I should’ve taken her worry as a hint to take her back to the living realm. But my own lust blinded me and I ended keeping her against her will for many years. Do I regret everything I have done? I don’t really know anymore. But all I know is that I would make more mistakes in this relationship and two more that would follow.
