The warm water cascaded over my hair and ran down my body, and I stood there, relishing the moment. After experiencing what I had been through at the range, this shower was no longer about washing the lead off my body. I was trying to cleanse my soul. How could I have let Lilith convince me to shoot someone?

Well, I truly believed her when she said he couldn’t bleed. I let my guard down, finally started to let go of my convictions and accept Hell, and this happened. It was a sign that I needed to keep a tighter grip on my principles.

That got me thinking back to everything I had experienced so far down here. I was supposed to be upset with Lucifer for keeping me hostage down here, but I had to admit, I genuinely wanted to stay and get to know him on a deeper level. What was worrisome was that these feelings were developing quickly, and I wasn’t sure what to do about them. I couldn’t understand why I felt the way I did, given that he had kidnapped me, but I couldn’t deny the truth. I had fallen for him. I started thinking about my principles again and wondered where falling in love with the Devil landed on the chart.

I gave my hair a thorough shampoo and condition and took my sweet time shaving my legs, enjoying the feel of the razor gliding against my skin. Shooting that man was not my finest moment, but Lilith seemed more concerned with my supposed powers than with the bleeding man on the floor. I hoped he was okay, which struck me as odd. If he were okay, then he would be stuck in Hell being tortured. I didn’t really see how that could be a good thing for him.

There was also the pesky issue of my powers. I had grown to accept the truth by now, but I still had no idea why I was able to do what I did. I had never done anything abnormal or unusual growing up. I never made anything move with my mind or lifted unusually heavy items with ease. I wasn’t a particularly fast runner. In fact, I was actually pretty damn average throughout my entire childhood. So, where did this come from? It seemed a pretty odd skill to have.

I thought of my small family and my lack of knowledge about my ancestors. I had never given it much thought until recently. I wanted to go back topside and find my mom. At the very least, if she didn’t have any answers for me, she did make a fantastic cup of tea. I never drank tea unless she made it.

Then, on top of all of that, there was Michael. Relentless and arrogant, he was the antithesis of everything I was looking for in a partner. The fact that he couldn’t take a hint and simply leave me alone was the most frustrating part. It was an underlying annoyance weaving through this entire experience.
