Chapter Text
Camael stood in the middle of the desert, staring up at the stars in the sky. Deciding to follow in the footsteps of his fallen brother, he had abandoned Heaven to make his life on Earth. He didn’t care for it, though. The air was dirty and the world was colorless. He couldn’t understand how Lucifer could stand being here.
And yet, there was something to be said about the humans who resided on this filthy plane. Their minds were so weak -- it was easy to sway them into doing what he wanted. That filled Camael with a sense of power. He wondered if his father felt the same way, when ordering his angels about. Probably. Power was like a drug -- addicting. He wanted more of it.
The thought of humans led to Camael thinking about the woman that was with his brother. Although he didn’t fully understand it, the Angel of Wrath could see why Lucifer was so bonded with her. She was pretty, and strong as well. After all, no angel ever had the balls to punch Father in the face -- not even Lucifer had gone that far. There was something about her that was special -- he could feel it. It intrigued him. She intrigued him.
He thought about the first time he had run into her.... The accident. Father had ordered the woman be injured, and Camael had enjoyed the task. A quick glance through the window after the terrible wreck showed him a beautiful woman with blonde hair. He hadn’t realized it at the time what a find she was. If only he had known before -- he would have abandoned the accident idea and stolen her for himself.
He remembered standing by the car, talking to his injured brother -- which right there was odd. Lucifer was an angel. He shouldn’t have been injured at all... and yet he was. It puzzled Camael and he thought long and hard about it. When he and Michael had almost killed Lucifer, he hadn’t shown too much injury except for when he was stabbed with a Heaven-forged knife. Well, gutted like a fish really, thought Camael with a smile. Nor had he shown an excessive amount of injury during the Affair of Honor with Michael. So... why was he injured in the car accident? Did it have something to do with the human woman?
Camael decided that he needed to visit his brother and test whether Lucifer could be killed. Lucifer was the strongest angel ever created by Father, next to Michael -- there was no way Camael would be able to beat him in a fair fight. Then again, if he was mortal around the woman.... Well, that would change everything. He could steal the fallen angel’s woman and make her his. He would be proud to have such a strong woman stand next to him, even if she was a human.
He smiled. Once he got rid of Lucifer, he could easily take over these stupid humans -- establish himself as a god here. The human woman would be his queen and they could rule the realm of Earth together....
