I'll also be switching off between this and "The Girl Before you" So chapter here and then a chapter there. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy!
Raising Hell-Chapter One
"Maze...it's an emergency," Decker spoke as she speeds down the road. Moaning could be heard from the back seat, where the devil laid curled up in a ball. Warm red blood rushed from his sighed, as she did his best to slow the bleeding.
"What's the problem, Decker." The demon said in annoyed tone.
"Well, we got a serious situation. It's about Lucifer." Another moan could be heard from the back as Decker slammed on the gas.
She wasn't losing him. Not now. Not after everything then had gone through. Not after losing him and getting him back so many times. If his father wanted him back in hell, then he would have to go through her first. He moaned again loudly. It felt as if her heart was gonna break. Her friend, her partner. Lay close to death in the back seat and she was helpless to do anything. Those people. The poison they used it wasn't human.
"Detective!" He had shouted before pushing her out of the way.
"Please Maze, I don't know what to do." The demon didn't respond for a moment.
"I'm on my way I'll be at Lux in five."
Chloe let out a sigh of relief knowing that at least Maze was on her way. The call ended as she screeched to a halt at the base of Lucifer's sky rise. Decker flew out of the front seat and ran to the back. Opening the door for Lucifer. Chloe had to hold back to tears as she pulled him out of the car.
Long black curls in draped over his eyes, as blood dripped down his face. His left hand covering a gash that stained his white button up red with blood. His shirt and pants ripped and torn from the scuffle. She wrapped her arm around his waist while putting his right arm on his shoulders he stumbled even with her support towards the building.
"Come on Lucifer, we just gotta get you inside."
"D-detective." His words another knife into her heart. His voice so broken. So damaged. It took everything Chloe had in her to keep it together.
"It's fine, you'll be fine." She said reassuring herself more than him. She led him to the elevator and helped him inside. His body leaning against her to stay standing.
"Detective." He whispered again. His gaze locked on hers, but she wouldn't look. "Please...detective…" The elevator dinged as she moved him into the penthouse. Not letting another word escape his lips.
She knew what he was going to say. To leave. To let him heal. But that weapon...he knew it wasn't human. So did she. It didn't matter how far way she was from him. It would still kill him. Chloe secretly knew that's what he really wanted. For her to go. So she didn't watch him...die. Chloe almost got choked up again as she led the devil to the couch and laid him down gently. Blood gently flowing down his face, as he closed his eyes.
"Lucifer!" Chloe cried. As the elevator dinged again, and Maze burst through.
Lucifer let out a loud cry, as Chloe dashed back to his side. Maze ran over and pulled Chloe away. Chloe fought the demons restraint. "What the hell are you doing!" Chloe shouted as Lucifer cried out again in pain. "He needs me!"
"No, he needs you to step away!"
"I'm not going anywhere Maze!"
"That's not what I mean." The demon said firmly as Lucifer's eyes rolled back inside his head.
"Lucifer!" Chloe cried again. Tears escaping her eyes this time. Maze loosened her grip and Chloe broke free. Running to his side. Trying to wake him. "Lucifer, please!"
"We need to get him to his bed."
"W-what are you thinking!. We need to get him to a hospital."
"No, we really don't. Bringing him to a hospital will only lead to worse problems" Maze started to pull him off the bed. "Now, are you gonna help me move him or what."
Chloe wanted to protest more, but she knew Maze knew how to handle the devil better than she did. Maze had been with Lucifer forever. They had been through everything together. If anyone knew what was best for him, it was Maze. Even if it didn't feel right to Chloe. She grabbed Lucifer's legs and helped Maze move him to the bedroom. They gently laid him down on the bed, as Maze began to unbutton his shirt.
"We need to get him out of these Clothes, and then you need to go."
"I'm not leaving!" Chloe said firmly.
"You want him to live or not?" Maze said shooting her a look.
Chloe sighed softly, before moving to the Devil's side. She helped Maze finish unbuttoning his shirt. She gently lifted him with the help of Maze and slid it off of him.
"Now you need to leave." Maze said as Chloe stared sadly at Lucifer. His eyes shut. His black hair curled. His face still cut up and bruised. All of this. All of this pain had been her fault. Her damn fault!. He had never let her down. Now when he needed her she was forced away. After he sacrificed himself for her. After all of this, she was being forced to leave. Just to possibly save his life. She knew that she was the reason he was so bruised. So hurt. She had to do something for him, but sadly she didn't know what. She figured, unfortunately, the only thing she could do, she left, and do as the demon said. So he could heal himself.
She held back tears as she leaned forward and kissed his forehead. "Come back to me." She murmured to him, as Maze took a seat in the chair adjacent to his bed.
"I'll call you when he wakes up." The demon said as she fiddled with her knives.
Chloe weakly nodded, as she gave him one last glance before heading towards to elevator. Tears finally escaping from her eyes as she stepped inside. She looked up at the sky tears still streaming from her eyes as she did. Her mind begging the man upstairs to save his son, as the elevator dinged and she headed to her car.
Chloe was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing in the early morning hours. She didn't even recall getting into bed early that night. Everything had just been one huge blur. Her body felt like it had been taken over. Every move she had made had not felt like her own. It was a blurry grief-stricken daze. All she knew is her friend was hurt. Possibly even dead at this point because of her. He had slowly picked up the phone.
"H-hello…" she said shakily. The caller paused for a moment before replying.
"He's awake. Asking for you. No shock there."
Chloe let out a sigh of relief when she heard mazes voice. He was alive. That's all that mattered.
"How soon can you get here?" Maze asked softly.
"Trixie's at Dan's so I have nothing to take care of here," Chloe said as she started to slip on some shoes, and grab her keys. "I'll be over in five." She added as she headed out the door.
That same daze took over her body as she drove to lux. Lucifer was fine now. He was going to be ok, but why didn't she feel ok.
"Detective!"
That cry playing over and over in her mind. She shook it away as she pulled up to LUX quickly going inside and heading upstairs. She tapped her foot impatiently as she elevator doors opened.
"Where is she." She heard a child say. That couldn't be right. No kids would be in here. The ding echoed through the room as Chloe stepped out. She didn't even have a moment to react before she was grabbed at the legs by something.
Chloe stumbled backward a little as she looked down. A small child with curly black hair clung to her leg.
"Chloe!" The child cried as Maze ran into the room.
"Sorry...he wouldn't wait any longer."
"H-he...Maze what are you talking about…" Chloe stammered as the child let go of her leg, and slowly backed away.
"C-Chloe…" the child said again. He couldn't be any older than seven if Chloe had to guess. He had a pointed nose and dark brown eyes. That were fixated on her. He wore rolled up pants that were clearly too large for hIm and no shirt. Gears slowly started to turn in Chloe's head as the child continues to stare up at him.
"We might have to explain this one to her, Maze." The child said in a voice that could melt anyone's, heart.
Expect for Chloe who was starting to piece it all together.
"You're probably right, Lucifer." Maze said as she gently placEd a hand on the child's shoulder.
"L-lucifer…" Chloe said just as her eyes rolled in the back of her head, and she made contact with the floor.
