Work Text:
I woke up with a start. It was dark but my eyes burned me anyway. I tried to look around me but there was nothing. Just a cold and infinite emptiness.
[Christine] In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name
I raised my head. I know this voice. Lucifer. I shivered and felt a ball of panic growing inside my guts. No. That’s… No. Please. I don’t want this anymore. I have to wake up.
[Christine] And do I dream again? For now, I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind
I remembered now. I said ‘yes’ to Lucifer. It was part of the plan. I had to say ‘yes’ so I could throw Lucifer back in the Cage. But it didn’t work. Lucifer was too strong and I couldn’t do anything. “DEAN!” I tried to scream my brother’s name but my throat was dry. Tears began to cloud my eyes. Please. Someone. Suddenly, I felt a wet sensation on my feet. I looked down and saw that there was water. The liquid began to gradually engulf my body. I tried to run but there was no escape. The water was already at the level of my thighs.
[Phantom] Sing once again with me our strange duet
I looked around me. I heard his voice again. Where is he?! The water was at my neck and I panicked. Why can’t I swim? I felt like I was having a heavy ball chained to my feet. The water was now engulfing my face.
[Phantom] My power over you grows stronger yet
I was drowning. I was really drowning. All my limbs were paralyzed and I could only have control over my eyes. So, I glanced around to try to find an escape.
[Phantom] And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
I saw him. He was there, on the surface, looking at me drowning. I closed my eyes. Please. Then I was able to breathe for no reason. I opened my eyes. I was still in the water but I was able to breathe a little. Not completely but I could. Then I missed a heartbeat. He was there. Lucifer was now in front of me. A tear rolled down my cheek as I saw his monstrous face. His real face. Those red eyes and this former angelic aura which was now a demonic one.
[Christine] Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I’ve seen a lot of things since my teenage years. But this? Him? That was worst thing I ever saw. Lucifer stroked my face with a fake gentle way. His touch on my skin woke up all my fears which were buried inside of me. I have a tingling sensation all over my body, an uncomfortable tingling which was gradually nibbling my being. My body. My spirit. My soul. Being possessed by a demon is a thing. Been there, done that, thanks to Meg. But being possessed by an Archangel? By Lucifer? It was like being in a cooler whereas having the size of an elephant. I was cramped in my own body because of Lucifer, and he trapped me in my own mind while he could use my body as he pleased.
[Christine] I am the mask you wear
[Phantom] It’s me they hear
Lucifer smiled at me. An evil smile. I was gradually lacking air again and I was floating in this invisible water, unable to do anything. Lucifer was the driver now, but it didn’t seem like I was in the passenger seat anymore. No. I was in the trunk of an invisible car. I could see and hear things but that was all. I was alone, scared and cold. Please, someone help me. Someone save me. I was praying like a hopeless man. I was hoping Dean could save me like he always did. I tried to take control over my body again but Lucifer’s grace was scratching away at every part of my spirit. All my attempts were in vain.
[Both] Your/My spirit and my/your voice
In one combined
It was too late for me to try anything. I just had to wait for someone or something. I just had to watch this monster killing people with my own hands and doing more atrocities. The water wasn’t here anymore so I sat in the deepest corner of my mind and hid my head with my arms and legs. Please… Help me…

Inside my/your mind
