"You're dead," Elly whispered, her gun lowering to her side. "You're not supposed to be here."

"Yet here I am!" I said with a laugh. "And you're welcome, by the way. Totally saved your asses."

I jumped as Elly tackled me in a hug. She was older now. Hair darker than it had been, but still a beautiful blonde. And her eyes were still a very bright blue. I hadn't lied. She was still sexy. She had aged well. Like a fine wine. I hugged her back tightly. When had been the last time I'd hugged her? It must have been 20 years ago for her. But for me it'd been about a year and a half, although it felt so much longer.

I released her and cleared my throat. I hadn't had a real hug like that since Crowley had left me his kingdom.

Lucifer had risen to his feet, clutching his bleeding arm. I stepped over to him and looked him up and down. He was still younger than he had been before. I was surprised he had aged at all. Maybe it was the lack of grace.

"This is weird, being on the other side of this." I reached my hand out to him and touched his arm. There was a cool feeling in my fingers as I healed him. As soon as his energy was back up, I dropped my hand. He stared at me confused as I turned away and went to where Elly was untying her daughter. "I'm your aunt Alex," I said with a smile to the younger blonde. "Don't worry dear. I don't bite...hard."

Once she was free, the younger girl clutched tightly to Elly, who kissed her head and smoothed a hand over her hair.

"What are you doing here doll?" Lucifer asked from behind me. I grumbled at the name. He knew I hated it. He said it on purpose. He stepped around and went to his family. The younger girl moved from her mom to her dad. "It's ok," he whispered to her, hugging her tightly.

"We can talk later. There's more of their pack. I've been tracking them for a while. They'll be here soon. Let's get somewhere safe and then we'll talk," I explained, looking outside of the barn to see if they were possibly here.

My eyes stopped on the car that was parked outside. It was a '60's Pontiac. A beautiful black color. Elly must have picked it out. I didn't see Lucifer driving a classic car. I smiled a little, she still had great taste in cars. I heard movement not far off and made a motion towards to door, silently urging the others to start moving.

We got into the car and Elly tore from the barn and down the road, spraying dirt behind us. She took after Sam. He had always been one to drive fast even if there wasn't any danger. That's why Dean didn't let him drive Baby very often. My younger brother came back with it covered in mud and dents more often than any one else did. That memory reminded me that I still needed to talk to them. Still needed to find them.

They pulled in front of a house and Elly turned off the car. I stared at it. It was huge. It obviously had more rooms than they needed. Especially since I knew the only family Elly had was her mother and some cousins I knew she didn't much care for. It made me wonder why they'd gotten something so big. It wasn't like it blended in and they didn't seem to have any other children. There was really no need for them to have a house this large.

I looked over Elly. I didn't think she worked. She looked like she was more of the stay at home type of mom. Lucifer had to work then. What did he do? I pictured that he worked in a factory or a diner. Something where he could disappear easily without co-workers worrying about where he'd gone or why.

I got from the car and just stood there. This was so weird. They must have stopped hunting like I had hoped they would, but... For some reason I had half expected to see the two of them in some dingy motel, wrapped up in each other, guns and knife on the bedside tables. Not like this, not a family of three settled down in an actual house with no danger in sight.

Lucifer walked his daughter up to the house and Elly stood beside me, leaning against the car.

"He's an entrepreneur," she explained, her arms folded over her chest. "He couldn't decide what to do, so he does a bunch of everything. Mostly buys and sells companies. He woodworks and sells furniture in his free time. Likes to create."

"And you?" I asked softly, gazing around the neighborhood. It might as well have been a gated community. Every house here had to be some of the most rich houses I had ever seen.

"I stay home most days. Just... Became my mom, you know?" She snorted as she laughed. I had missed that sound so much. "Laundry, cleaning, dinner. I'm a glorified maid. Tonight felt good. Normal even. I've missed this. It's not what I ever wanted for Alex though."

"You did name her after me," I said with a grin.

"I only did it because you died," she shot back. Her eyes grew and she turned to face me, punching me in the arm as hard as she could.

"What was that for?" I demanded through clenched teeth, holding where she hit me, even though it didn't hurt for long.

"You're not dead!" she shot back. "You have a lot of explaining to do before I'm not angry at you anymore. Come on. I'll get you a drink. I'm sure we have something you'd like. Lucy likes to splurge on his alcohol like Ketch."

My heart twinged painfully at the name. Elly started off towards the house, but my feet were still against the pavement. After a beat, she turned back to face me.

"You and him are still..." She trailed off as I shook my head. "You were still wearing the ring."

"I haven't seen him since the night we sent you back," I admitted softly. "He disappeared. No one knows where he went or if he's still alive."

"And Sam and Dean?" she questioned, moving back over to me. "Your mom?"

"They're all great. Mom's busy hunting. Sam's got his law degree. Dean and Cas are still hunting with Jack. He's a smart kid, enjoys sports."

"Sounds like you've read that off a file. Have you seen them at all since that night?"

I again shook my head. She licked her lips with a sigh. "I think you need that drink. Come on."

I followed her inside. It had been a hard year for me. I struggled with my new abilities and struggled even more with the decision to tell my family or not. And suddenly, the necklace around my neck that held the ring I was too heartbroken to wear, felt very heavy against my chest. I needed to find everyone. Whether they accepted me as what I was now or not, they needed to know I was still around.

I stared at the large entree way that was open to the rest of the house. A staircase was in the middle and lead somewhere I was sure I wouldn't go. To the right was a large kitchen with a full bar, with another doorway that I could just see a dining room through. And the left was a beautifully decorated sitting area. The windows were large, with seating in the sill. There was an ordinate rock fireplace with one of the largest TVs I think I had ever seen.

Elly pulled off her flannel to reveal that she had quite a few more tattoos now that she had aged. There was a water colored bird on the back of her shoulder and a gun on her right arm. She moved to the bar and grabbed a bottle of some carmel colored drink and poured out three glasses, sliding one to me. I took it and followed Elly through the house and to the sitting room where Lucifer sat beside his daughter, rubbing her back as she cried into her hands. Elly gave Lucifer his own cup and he downed the drink quickly, before setting the glass aside on the coffee table. Elly took a seat on the other side of her daughter and I awkwardly sat on the couch opposite the coffee table.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, kid." I said, putting the cool glass to my lips and taking a small drink. The smooth burn was comforting, even if the actual alcohol content didn't affect me anymore. "Why were they after you anyways? There aren't supposed to be supernatural things in this world."

"The best Lucy and I have figured is that when you and I were at the rift in the first place, monsters got through," Elly replied, sipping at her own drink. "They've been spreading like crazy, but we just don't have a way to hunt them all down. This is the first time in a while they've gotten this close."

"And why did they want her?" I questioned, sitting forward.

"They wanted to open a rift. They needed grace," Lucifer replied. "They thought they could get it from her. She is a nephilim after all. Thought she'd be powerful enough."

The young girl seemed to perk up at that, sitting up more fully, wiping her tears from her cheeks. "I'm a what?" she choked out, looking between her parents.

"Half human, half angel, sweetie. The grownups are talking," I replied as gently as I could.

"I was the one who was kidnapped! I was the one who was almost killed-"

"You weren't almost killed," I shot back with a scoff.

"I think I have a right to know what the hell is going on!"

A smile came to my face as Elly frowned. She had raised a strong girl. I didn't expect anything less from her. "Language, Alex," Elly whispered.

"I don't give a fuck about my language," the young girl said back strongly. "What the hell have you been hiding from me? Werewolves aren't supposed to be real! They're only in that stupid old TV show you used to watch."

I chuckled lightly, finishing off my drink. I placed it on the coffee table and leaned back in my chair, resting my boots next to the glass. "Hun, that old tv show is my entire life." I let out a sigh and adjusted my posture until I was comfortable. "A lot of it might not have happened exactly as they wrote it but Sam and Dean are still very real and do all of those very real things."

"Bullshit!" She gave a forced laugh. I saw Elly roll her eyes and shake her head. She couldn't control her daughter. She was a daddy's girl. It was so obvious.

"Listen to your mother, Sapphire," Lucifer instructed, patting her knee. "You know better than to swear in the house."

"She's got quite the tongue, Feathers." I smiled and closed my eyes, "Just like you did."

"I haven't gone soft if that's what you're insinuating," he said back with blue eyes shining.

"Oh no, I just meant that your wings have been clipped." I smirked, "I would never call you soft."

"What is happening here?!" the kid demanded, breaking up our little scuffle.

"This is my old friend, Alex," Elly started to explain, motioning to me as I pulled my knife to me and wiped it clean on my shirt.

The kid rolled her eyes. "I got that much. I'm not stupid."

Elly sighed and looked back to me. "Alex... I... you were dead..." Elly mumbled.

"I was." I used my pocket knife to pick my nails.

"And now you're what? A demon?" Elly rubbed at her eyes and pushed her hair from her face.

I smirked and felt my eyes flicker black. "Oh hun. I'm the damn queen of hell. And you have no room to speak. You married the devil himself."

"He's changed. Haven't you babe?" Elly asked, patting his arm.

"I am still the prince of darkness. I don't know what you're talking about," Lucifer answered as if he were still trying to be the bad boy he once was. But I knew better.

"You've been dethroned. I sit on the throne now, black bird," I stated coldly.

"What about Crowley?" Elly questioned, trying to move the conversation away from our arguing..

"He's relaxing in a secret condo somewhere in the remote islands of Hawaii."

"Please stop ignoring me!" the kid grumbled, getting up from the couch and moving over to one of the windows. "Are you three just going to keep on fighting? I need to know what's going on."

"Alex-"

"And I don't want to hear it from you, mother," the girl shot back, folding her arms over her chest.

Elly looked shocked and at a loss for words. "I need another drink," she muttered, getting to her feet and swiftly leaving the room.

Lucifer got to his feet moving after her. "Elizabeth, we need to talk about this."

I looked over the kid I had been left alone with. She looked like she was about ready to cry again as she clutched her arms around herself. I had to say something to break this awkward silence that was in the air. "Your mom once saved my life," I explained to the prettier and younger version of Elly. "Actually, more than once."

"She did? She never seemed to be that type of person," the kid sighed, looking around and to me with those brilliant blue eyes. No wonder Lucifer had called her Sapphire. "But I guess there's a lot I don't know."

I laughed a little. "Yeah, when she first came to my world I never thought she'd save my life either." I leaned back against the couch. "But there we were, fighting off some werewolves and I got over run. Your mother placed three shots into the monster. A head shot, and two in the chest." I laughed more. "That was when I decided to make a bet Dean thought he would never lose."

"My mom can shoot a gun? I've never seen her be violent ever."

I sighed and stood. "That's because they never wanted a hunting life for you. I'm assuming you know what hunting is if you watched the show." I walked to the window and looked out. "The life I lead was and is full of death and destruction. My brothers and I have died more times than anyone but death can count."

"You can come back to life? Has my mom done that?"

"Yes. Your father saved her once. It was kinda my fault."

"He did?" She came over beside me. "I... I don't know what to think about him anymore... Am..." She sighed heavily again and lowered her head against the window. "Am I really the daughter of Satan?"

I turned a little and smiled. "And what's so wrong about that?" I ruffled her hair. "In my world you'd be worshiped like the princess you are." I left out the part about her being hunted for being a nephilim.

"Princess?" she scoffed. "I was ditched for homecoming. I couldn't be a princess. And a princess of what? You? You said you were a queen. How would I compare?"

"Kid, I never went to homecoming. I was a hunter from the moment I was born. My dad tried to keep me from it but trouble and monsters kept following me." I sighed. "My position in Hell is temporary. If your parents come back to my world, like I need them to, then your dad can take his spot back if he really wants it. And even if he doesn't..." I slid my hand under her chin and pulled her face up so that she was looking at me. "You are a princess to them. You are the most beautiful young woman I've ever seen and no matter what happens, you will always be their princess. You will never compare to me because you are already above me."

"I don't feel above you. I couldn't even save myself from being kidnapped. And is hell a democracy or something. How can you just give it back to him?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "And how do you think I became a demon in the first place?" I laughed more. "And hell doesn't even listen to me most days, but your dad scared the shit out of them."

"He... He couldn't hurt a fly. He gets a little loud whenever he's drunk, but he's never once yelled at me. He's the most gentle person I've ever met. More so than my mom. How did he control all of hell?"

"He ruled hell with an iron fist. Your dad was once the most feared person in the world. They even locked him away in a-" I stopped and looked up at where Elly and Lucifer were in the kitchen, their voices raised in a fight. "I don't remember them fighting. Do they fight often?" I asked softly.

"Not usually. They fought less when we lived in our old house," she explained to me, watching her parents as well. "I always felt like they didn't fit here. This wasn't the life they were supposed to lead. Money doesn't suit them."

She was keen. I could give her that. She had the sass of her father and the strength and beautify of her mother. And I had to agree with her. "It doesn't suit them," I repeated with a nod. "It looks like they might be a while."

"They'll start making out soon enough. I try to ignore them."

I laughed and looked over Sapphire. "You shouldn't be so hard on your mom."

"Don't tell me what to do. I don't even know you. And you're supposed to be dead." She sighed and wiped at her eyes again. She exhaled deeply and a hand went to her head. "I always knew they were keeping secrets. My dad's name, the business trips, the gun safe, the books on monsters around the house, the rooms they won't let me in and keep locked.. I just thought maybe they were secretly doomsday preppers or something."

"No, they're just hunters. Well..." I shrugged. "Your mother is."

"And you're a demon? I always expected them to be more-more..." she looked like she was searching for the right word, almost looking like she didn't want to offend me.

"Evil?" I offered, a smile covering my lips. Alex gave a small nod. "I prefer the term business woman."

"Sapphire?" came Lucifer's voice from the kitchen. "Will you come here, please?"

She left my side and moved towards her parents, Lucifer wrapping his arms around her. She shrugged out of it and Lucifer shoved his hands into his pockets sadly. They spoke for a bit, softer than I could hear, until the kid threw her arms down angrily.

"No!" she shouted loudly.

"Sapph-"

"Don't Sapphire me!"

"Ali, let's talk about this." Elly did her best to try to calm the young girl. "Alex would only be here-"

"I'm not going! I have a life here, I have friends, school, a job! You already dragged me out here for your work! I'm not being dragged somewhere else I don't have a say in."

"We're not fighting over this. We're not leaving you here," Lucifer said sternly.

"You don't even know what she wants! She's a demon for crying out loud!"

"And I'm the fucking Devil. Do we have to go through this again?"

Sapphire fell silent and stepped away from her parents before heading to the stairs and racing up them. I saw Elly sink into one of the chairs at the counter, head in her hands. Lucifer rubbed her back and I hesitantly walked over.

"I didn't mean to-"

"We know, Alex," Elly muttered from behind her hands. "I just didn't think we'd ever have to tell her."

"Why are you here? How did you get here?" Lucifer questioned with a deep breath, still holding to Elly's shoulder. I was happy to see that they were still together. I wasn't sure what would have happened if Elly had left Lucifer. If monsters were now real here, then I was worried about how much strength he would have.

"We opened up another rift," I explained. "Crowley and I."

"Where'd you find the grace?"

"Crowley had some stored away from when Asmodeus was still around. We used that. Thought that you would be able to get us back." I leaned against the counter and took one of Elly's hands in mine. She gave me a pained smile and a squeeze of my hand. "But it doesn't look like you're in a state to open a portal."

He bit his lip and sighed. "I don't have much of it left now. I used a good portion of it tonight. But we can always try."

"What's wrong Alex? It's been 17 years. Why now?" Elly questioned, still holding to my hand almost like she was afraid I would disappear.

"We need you to come back El." I started, "Hoards of monsters have started to show up and hunters are scarce and I….I can't keep up."

"You have all of hell, why do you need me? I wasn't even that good to begin with."

"You're a better shot than all of my world and you know that. Plus Dean and Sam are out so I needed someone else I can trust." I bit my lip before continuing, "And you have, feathers over there, and a nephilim…"

"Go talk to Dean and Sam and Jack. They're who you need. Not me." Elly rose from her chair and took her cup to the sink to begin washing it. "I stopped hunting a long time ago."

"That's not what I saw tonight." I said, desperately trying to make my point. "What I saw was a woman who still knew how to take down a pack of werewolves. That's not a skill you just forget, El."

"Why do you need a nephilim? What's so special about my daughter that we have to risk her life for you?"

"Elizabeth," Lucifer warned. He went around the counter and to the sink. "We've just agreed we'd all go. That's what we told Sapphire."

"She's the best chance we have at ending this El. She can help my cause." I said, ignoring Lucifer's comment as I tried to convince her.

"She's not just going to walk through and magically know how to use her powers. She doesn't have them in this world. I think that's the only way I was able to survive." Elly sighed and turned off the facet, placing the cup on a drying rack.

"Then we'll go back and find Jack. I need to talk to Dean anyway and while we're there Jack can show her everything she needs to know."

"Alex," she whispered, not looking at me.

"Please, El. I need you."

"I don't want her becoming me."

"You?" I said, cocking an eyebrow, "You mean a strong, independant, sassy woman who doesn't give a fuck? That doesn't sound like a bad thing to me."

"She can be all that without having to kill things."

I stepped closer to her and rested a hand on her back. "You told me not an hour ago that you felt normal hunting. She'll fit in. You know she will. That's her world."

"Alex does have a point," Lucifer spoke up, doing his best to help. "She does belong there. I belong there. You belong there."

Elly dried her hands on her pants and turned back to me with sad eyes. She gave a small nod. "I'll go help her pack."

I smiled, but it was short lived. Now we had to find a way back. I sighed and went back to the counter, putting my head in my hands.

"Do you know where to get the rest of the stuff we need?" I asked Lucifer.

He laughed. "I wasn't the one who got us through the rift the first time. It was all her."

I let out a low groan, "Well that's helpful."

"As I remember," Elly said, walking past me and to her husband. She placed her hands on his chest. "An apple, some blood and a shiny rock, right?" She kissed him. It must have been an inside joke, because I didn't understand. "I'm sure we have some stuff somewhere. You can take her to the study. I'll start packing."

I smirked as she headed for the stairs after slapping his ass as she passed. I loved that they were together. They reminded me of...I didn't let that thought continue. It was one that would hurt me. Instead I smiled a knowing smile at Lucifer.

"She's a keeper huh?" I asked, not really expecting an answer.

His smile dropped and he pushed past me and through the dining room, beckoning me to follow. I continued on through the house that somehow just seemed to just get bigger and bigger. Eventually we came to a set of doors and Lucifer pulled a set of keys from his pocket, unlocking the doors and pushing them open.

We walked in and I felt my jaw go slack. It was huge. All four walls were lined floor to ceiling with shelves of books and documents and artifacts. Stairs and ladders lined the walls, twisting and turning up and up so that you could reach the highest books without issue if you so desired to read one of them. Golden wood pillars lined to corners and marble statues of angels, the ones that looked so alive they could be breathing, sat motionlessly in small arches carved into two walls. One the furthest back wall was a smooth pillar of white stone, a fireplace cut out of the bottom and some small chairs sat in front of it along with a small table and a lamp.

"You stopped hunting my ass," I muttered, stepping further into the room and turning to take in more of it. "You make money legally?"

"Elizabeth would never allow me to make money illegally. You know that," he replied, moving into the room as well. "Everything's alphabetized."

I moved over to where he was pointing and began skimming my fingers over the books. "You've let her fuck with you, Lucifer. You don't have a man card anymore."

"Oh please," he scoffed. "You're not worth the dirt they used to bury you."

"You're not worth those shiny rocks you loved to make so much," I shot back.

"At least I actually made somewhat of a difference in this world."

"Was that before or after you fucked Eve and tricked Adam?"

"You weren't even good enough to fuck, Doll."

"You're the one that was done before we even got started."

"What are you talking about?" Elly asked from the doorway.

"Nothing dear," I replied giving her a smile. I finally reached the first self of artifacts and dug through them until I found a vile of blood that was labeled as from a Most Holy Man. "He and I just butt heads. Always have and always will. You're the only thing that we can agree on."

"She doesn't want to talk to me," Elly explained to Lucifer as I moved across the room and to another shelf. I pulled a ladder to me and climbed up it to get a better look at the higher shelves. "As usual." She sounded so disappointed. "Will you go talk to her, please?" There wasn't an answer, but I could hear Lucifer's footsteps leave the room.

"You've changed him, El. Made him a dad," I called down from where I was.

"He was the one who wanted to be a dad. I..." El fell silent and I glanced down to see her sitting at one of the tables, rubbing her elbow. "I didn't want her. Does that make me a horrible person, Alex?"

"Of course not, hun. No one wants to be a parent the first time around." I said, trying to comfort her.

"Third shelf down is what you're looking for." I looked back at the ladder and climbed a bit higher, looking through the third shelf until I found some old, dried up fruit. "She's an amazing girl. I love her so much. But... she doesn't much care for me. I have no idea what to do about that." I grabbed the fruit and climbed back down the ladder. "When she was little, I was a hero to her. She wanted nothing to do with Lucy. And then it just changed over night. She wanted him to read her bedtime stories. She wanted to play catch with him in the yard. Learn guitar with me dad. Let's go see a movie dad. I just..." She huffed and looked to the ground.

I wasn't sure what to do here. I had never wanted to be a parent. Never even wanted my brothers to have kids. And I never had the best parents in the first place so who was I to tell her that she was doing everything she was supposed to do? I had nothing to say here.

"I..uh. I'm sorry, El. I think you're a great mom," I got out, looking around the room for the crystal.

"In the S's."

"Why do you have all this stuff?"

"Just in case," she answered softly. Or maybe her voice was just further away now as I went to yet another shelf of items to dig through.

"Where did you even find it all? I thought this world didn't have anything like this?"

"We found the bunker. It's still all intact. And we've just been adding on the more we find. I honestly don't know how it all got here."

"Wait. This use to be the bunker?" I asked, finding a chain. I pulled it to me, thinking it was the seal and almost burst out laughing at a set of nipple clamps. I glanced back, doing everything I could to keep from smiling. So this was what they were into? Was this more of a sex room than a library? I turned back to the shelf, exhaling deeply, my cheeks red, finally finding the crystal and turning back to her as I picked it up.

She gave a small laugh. "I think it's our fault there's a subdivision here now. We built over it. Made this house. The rest of the bunker is under us. We just moved everything up here because it was easier to say we were going to the study than stay out of the basement. Wouldn't you be more interested in some weird basement you weren't allowed into?"

"You know I would've been, love." I said, smiling at her. "Then again I was always the trouble child."

She nodded, still seeming out of it. I stepped closer and watched her quickly wipe a tear away. She gave me a smile. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too, El." I said, pulling her up from her chair and into a hug.

"Alright Alex. Spill the beans. Why are you really here? That story about the monsters is bull shit." She pulled away from our hug.

"It's not bullshit. We really are being over run. And my cause needs help. That's why I'm really here, El." I sighed, "I may be a demon but I'm not lying."

"You've never been over run before, and you've killed most of the Alpha's, haven't you?"

"Yes, but they've been teaming up and getting better at making new monsters faster than we can drop them. It's like they're preparing for something." I said, "I'm not sure what else to do. There's no one else I can call."

"Are we just talking easy shit, like vamps and wolves? Or are we talking like leviathans?" I could see the spark in her eyes now, no longer sad, just hungry.

It made me laugh, she had never once given up hunting. Maybe she had swallowed it down to be a family but once you were a hunter, you never really stopped. "No, no leviathans. But it's more than just the vampires and werewolves too. We're seeing increases in monsters that we thought went extinct millions of years ago. Like Kitsunes. I cut down four of them before trying to come get you."

"Are you talking about pokemon?" she asked, her face screwed up in confusion. "Those nine tailed dog things?"

"What are pokemon?" I asked curiously. Her face turned to one of disbelief. "I told you to stop making up words. They're like werefoxes."

"But you don't know-"

"Of course I know what pokemon are!" I said, watching her face relax, "I was teasing you because of all the stuff you told me about sailing or whatever."

"Ships," she corrected with a smile.

"Now, I must know." I stepped closer to her and took her hands in mine, pulling her close to me. "Do you still dabel in the magical art of writing gay porn about my brothers?"

"You what?" came Lucifer's voice from the door, making me frown.

"Nice timing, Morning Star," I grumbled, pushing away from Elly and turned to see young Alex in the doorway with a look of dislike across her face, a bag in tow. "Everyone ready to go then? No PTSA meetings or bake sales to go to?"

"I'd rather go to a bake sale," Sapphire grumbled, obviously not impressed with the library, making me think that she had been more than curious and had discovered the room a while ago.

"And I'd rather burn at the stake, which might happen if we run into witches." I snatched a decorative bowl from the table and began dropping all of the ingredients into it. I looked back up and laughed at the shock that had flooded over the young girl. "Don't be so scared kid," I said, grinning towards her. "The trick is to burn them first."

"She's joking, Sapphire." Lucifer said, reassuring the kid.

"I wish." I mumbled, I took the crystal in my hand and looked up to Lucifer, "Grace please."

He stepped forward and pulled a knife from his pocket, flicking it open. I put it to his neck and pulled, watching the beautiful blue grace flow from the gash and into the bowl. I glanced back at a gasp from Sapphire and saw her with her hands over her mouth.

"You're all fucking crazy!"

Lucifer's still young blue eyes turned to ones of sadness as he healed himself up. This must have been so hard on both of them. I couldn't blame the poor girl, it was a lot to go through in one night and it made me think of the night that we had banished the demon from Elly and how absolutely messed up she was for the longest time. But we couldn't worry about that now. We had bigger things to worry about. I took the knife and ran it along my arm, sending a small shaving of my hair into the bowl.

"Koth Munto Notox." I said softly as I held the crystal above the bowl.

In a small flash a gold light shot from the crystal and a thin line of golden rift appeared in mid air. I set the bowl down on the table and looked back to the family of three. I smiled and took a backwards step towards the rift.

"Just follow my lead." I said, letting myself fall backwards into the dancing golden thread.
