WHO: Bridget and open to Dewi <3<3<3
WHAT: Halloween magic messing with Bridget's head
WHEN: ...Halloween
WHERE: Her apartment in Dumbo
WARNINGS: Visions of Lucifer torture



Bridget had enjoyed staying in on Halloween and avoiding the mayhem the holiday was sure to be. She hadn't even bothered getting the twins costumes, deciding they could do it next year. She had been married to Dewi for a year now and things were perfectly comfortable. She just wanted to spend the day inside, sipping tea.

When the twins fell asleep, miraculously at the same time, Bridget went to the living room with the baby monitor. They were starting to sleep through most of the night now, if not the whole night, which was a blessing. She wasn't feeling like a zombie as often any more. With a soft smile, she settled down with a book. Two of her cats leapt up onto the sofa and curled up beside her.

And then the door opened and slammed shut. Bridget's head snapped up and when she saw Lucifer standing in front of her, she slapped her hand across her face and screamed into it, hoping not to wake up the twins. She couldn't have them cry and let Lucifer know where they were. She scrambled away from Lucifer, causing her animals to run away. Her foot caught and she spilled to the ground and from there, Lucifer grabbed her ankle and rammed a nail through her foot like he had so many months ago-

Bridget screamed again, the sound not so muffled this time. She had no way of knowing Lucifer wasn't really there.

David was on the stairs checking his plants when he thought he heard a scream. He stopped and looked up, about to call out. Then there was a thump and a second scream, this time louder. He dropped the watering can and ran down, heading for the living room, bursting in suddenly.

"Bridget!" he called, running to where she lay on the carpet and holding her shoulder. "What happened??"

Bridget looked up and stopped screaming. She shuffled away from where she had just seen Lucifer, but he was gone now. She pulled her feet under her body, but they didn't hurt any more.

She put a hand to her head and then she shook it. "S-saw Lucifer."

"Honey," David sighed, putting his arms around her and cradling her against his chest. "It's okay." He wondered what she meant by "seeing" Lucifer, because there was no devil there now, not even a smell of brimstone and hellfire. "Where was he?"

"He...he came in the door," she muttered, clinging to David. "I felt him. He rammed a nail into my foot, but it's- It's not there."

David kissed the top of her head and unconsciously rubbed her back to soothe her like he would one of the babies. "Did you fall asleep and dream it, maybe?" he asked, trying to gently discover the origin of the panic.

"No!" she said firmly. "He was there, Dewi, and then he just disappeared! I am not going crazy, okay, he was there!"

He didn't understand how Lucifer could have been there. "But we have the wards," he said, looking around for any clue as to the reason. "I believe you, I do, I just don't know what it could have been."

Bridget let out a shaky breath and then she rubbed at her eyes. "I...I guess maybe I just- Maybe I was seeing things? It felt so real, Dewi. The pain felt real."
