Awake (Inque)
Lucifer felt the cool sheets and the warm sun. Turning over, she realized that she was indeed a she today. The long, lean body stretched and loosened muscles, happy. Content. The ride with the aliens had been more than interesting. Better than television, better than trying to manipulate humans into giving up their souls. Better than anything that had ever existed, really. And it just kept elevating in amusement.
The note was on the nightstand, and she picked it up to look it over. An resort vacation was a perfect place to thaw out, she thought. Stasis. Lucifer wondered if the aliens would have been able to use that if she hadn't been complying with everything else already, or if their technology was so advanced that they could retain even the devil against her will.
When she stood up, she found she was in a little white bikini already. Digging through the drawers revealed a matching white wrap that went elegantly around her hips. She decided to forgo the sandals, as she expected that sooner or later she'd find herself on a beach and unwilling to keep track of those things. Not that she particularly cared about them, but they were awful cute to lose on the first day.
So people were gone, were they? Lucifer cast out with her power and discovered that the pesky angels were missing. Good. Two less faces to worry about. Nobody else knew the truth. The game could go on for longer, now.
Lucifer grabbed a pair of fashionable sunglasses with white rims and plopped them on her head as she left the room, intent on exploration.
