Chapter 1

The Heart of Everything

Firmento astra del la vega

transisto emprata porto impulra invicto

porto turna selentra

Lucifer' voice shattered the windows of his pent house suite.

"Lucifer what are you doing?" Charlotte's eyes rose to her sons. Lucifers eyes where blood red.

"She is my heart mother, and you have broken her. You have broken me."

A small rift began to appear behind Charlotte. A portal quickly opened. It pooled and bubbled at Charlotte's feet trapping her movement completely.

"HOW DARE YOU! I WILL BE BACK! YOU CANT KEEP ME IN HELL FOREVER.!"

transisto emprata porto impulra invicto

Lucifer' words chimed again. His eyes now a pale glowing blue.

Lucifer smiled, " Oh I am not sending you to hell… I am sending you to a place worse than Hell where you cant ever come back. I am sending you to the black of nothingness."

Charlotte's eyes grew wide in fear "No..you would not do that to your own mother. STOP THIS RIGHT NOW?!"

Lucifer eyes began to water. "My mother died the moment she sent me to an eternity of punishment. You my dear mother where marked for death again when you attacked the one thing that brings light to my life. Because of you she is lying in a hospital bed clinging to life. Because of you she lost her child. I will never forgive you for hurting her, I will never forgive you for forcing her to bury her offspring. You deserve no mercy. You deserve nothing."

"My little Lucifer has really learned to love, well… that is something a mother could be proud of. I will always love you son"

Lucifer glared at her, his blue eyes now surrounded by a hue of gold.

"You are on the edge of blinking out of existence and you are still trying to manipulate me. You bitch."

Charlotte's eyes turned from sad and innocent to furious and deadly.

" How disappointing. You ended up with your father eyes after all. Goodbye you foolish creature."

These were her last words.

With that the blackness of the portal wrapped around Charlotte's body and began to consume the flesh and bones of her human form. Then all that left was a dim purple energy. It too was torn to pieces.

Then nothing. There was nothing left of her.

The crack in space and time seemed to linger for a moment before disappearing. The portal closed.

"Ding dong the bitch is dead." Said a voice from behind Lucifer.

Lucifer turned around to see Mazikeen standing behind him covered in blood.

"Mazikeen please tell me that is not your blood." Lucifer said, his voice seemed to have a slightly concerned tone to it.

"No, its not …well some of it is.. But you should see the pile of bodies outside of LUXE, we are gonna need a really good cleaner. Your mother had lots of friends."

"Denizens from hell I would suspect, charmed by my mother to assist her in keep us in check."

Lucifer' mind reeled at what had just taken place. He had sent his own mother with whom he had known since the start of time to oblivion for the sake of a human woman. He would watch the world burn if she could be at his side. As his Queen, his angel of light.

It's the truest of love, and the darkest of love, Whispered a voice in his head.

"Come on Lucifer, lets get cleaned up and go see your woman. "

Lucifer nodded, his thoughts interrupted by Maze' voice. His dark thoughts, the words that whispered in his ear for a split second. He had commited one of the worst of crimes. He had killed one of his parents. The goddess of creation. All for Chloe.

His heart pounded as he raced through the streets in his black car.

Chloe... Chloe.. Stay alive...

The private room Lucifer had arranged for Chloe was filled with flowers, most of them from him and Chloes mother. The scent was intoxicating as he walked down the hall .

Oh how she loved roses. He promised her that her life would be nothing but filled with roses. Some had begun to wilt, but that did not matter there would be more soon. Lucifer rushed into the room.

As he entered a sudden wave of relief washed over him.

She is still alive...thank God

Lucifer sat beside Chloe his hands in hers.

He stared at her for what seemed like a life time. Her pale skin seemed to glow like the moon. She was still her chest very slightly rising and lowering.

The beeping and clicking of the life support machine annoyed the hell out of him. It had been two weeks, she was in a coma. It had been two weeks since she tried to take her own life. First with pills and then when they did not seem to be working fast enough Lucifer's mother handed her a loaded gun. Lucifer walked in to stop her from pointing it at her head. However, in the struggle he had managed to accidentally shoot her in the stomach.

He had damaged her. He would never forgive himself.

His mother had driven her into madness . Losing Beatrice was hard. The illness that took her seemed almost supernatural. The day that sent Chloe to her own personal hell for not being able to protect her child.

It was Charlotte's fault. She had caused the illness. She wanted to wound Chloe. Kill her from the inside out . "Revenge for turning my son against me." Why would anyone want to hurt his precious angel? Why would anyone want to hurt the precious child she loved?

He looked down at his bright light the darkness of his shadow looming over her " If you had never met me , this would have never happened. Chloe...please...come back to me." he whispered as tears fell from his eyes on to his pale angels face.

" I could spend a regular human life with you. But an eternity without you I would rather become nothing like that witch ."His eyes glowed red and the tears seemed to flow freely now.

His warm lips touched her cold ones.

The room suddenly filled with a bright blue and gold light.

Father...?
