Sixth story in this series! Yep, thre are still five others in the planning and possibly more after that. This little series of mine is taking off and growing at a tremendous rate, and I am loving this so much. I've never written such a long series of short stories before. I just wish it was easier to navigate them here at .

Tribal Gathering

Chloe was glad to get out of the house. The weekends were usually filled with Trixie during the day if she wasn't called into work. Unfortunately, Dan had her for the days this weekend, and so her day was spent doing housework and reading.

She was bored. A night out would be good.

Her tribe had decided upon going to Lux. She wasn't sure if she wanted Lucifer poking into that part of her life, but Linda said over the phone that tonight's gathering was to discuss him. She had no idea if that was a good or bad thing, but at least if he did decide to butt in, he would be the one to get all embarrassed about it.

She wondered briefly if the devil even could feel embarrassment.

As it was, she still wanted to know just how long Linda has known Lucifer wasn't just a delusional client and was actually the fallen angel most called the devil.

"Come on, Decker. We're going to be late," Maze stated loudly from the doorway to their apartment and she rolled her eyes.

Maze was wearing one of her all leather ensembles, showing off her body. Normal clothing for her when she went out clubbing...and basically any other time outside that too. Chloe for a few seconds wished she had the courage to go anywhere dressed like that. But then she remembered wearing leather before and why she had sworn off that type of ensemble.

Leave that part of her life to her late teens early twenties grief stricken self.

"We aren't going to be late, Maze. If anything, we're going to be early."

"Every second wasted is too late when it comes to time at Lux. Hey, did you know Linda is dating Patrick, the bartender that took over from me?"

She blinked at that. "Huh. Can't say I've wondered about Linda's love life."

Maze laughed at that one. "Girl, I've been staying with you for months now, and all that time you've never had sex and only one wet dream. You're the least sexual person I know. How do you even manage that?"

Chloe frowned. "By being too busy to care. Come on, let's go."

She led the demon (she was rooming with a demon, shit...) to her car and together they got in, both ready for some fun to ease the boredom of the day away. Naturally, the car didn't want to start right away, since the engine decided it was too lazy for that. Thankfully the car started on the third try.

She always gave it five times before giving up. Seriously, she wondered if anyone else had trouble like this.

Mazikeen of course laughed at her. She was getting used to that though. It came with living with someone else who happened to be an adult. It was like college all over again.

"So, Decker, did Linda tell you about tonight?"

She shook her head. "All she said was a girl's night out with the Tribe to talk about Lucifer. Do you know if Ella is going to make it?"

Maze shrugged her shoulders and lounged in her seat in a way that made it seem the most comfortable place to be lounging. Now, that she envied her roomie for. She wondered what Maze was like as a driver...

"Sure. She'd probably already be there, considering it's now past 7 in the afternoon. She goes and helps Lucifer groom after work with Dan. Dan's busy with the little human so she has to do it on her own tonight."

"Oh. I forgot about that..." She had forgotten about that. Those wings were huge. No wonder he took two people. One for each wing must make the pace go a lot faster. She found herself wishing, not for the first time in the past two days since she had found out he was the devil, that she had believed him about the wings and got in there first. Then she would be getting her hands on those wings daily.

Seriously, those wings were so pretty, it was a shame to waste them on a guy...

Chloe paused thoughts on his wings for a second to ponder if there were female angels, or if they were all male. She had only met two that she knew of after all, Lucifer and Amenadiel.

"Eyes on the road. I'd like to get there in one piece," Maze stated, and Chloe shook her head back to stare at the car in front of hers. "Want to share those thoughts? Anything naughty?"

"Not unless Lucifer's wings are a sexual thing. No, mainly I was wondering if there were female angels."

Maze grunted at that. "Yeah, I thought Lucifer told you of Azrael. She's the angel of death. Lucifer has quite a few sisters, but mostly brothers. You'd have to ask him about them though, and he likely won't say anything. Family is not a good topic for him to talk about."

Chloe hummed her agreement with that. That was one thing that he was very clear on and always had been. His touchy feelings towards family, especially his father.

She still couldn't wrap her head around his father literally being God. The God.

Thankfully, she reached the club before she could lose focus while driving again and pulled to a stop outside the valet. It was good to know the boss, really. She was surprised when she found out he had designated her car a parking space in the private parking lot below the club.

Linda was waiting outside by the curb, bouncing on the spot to keep warm in the cooling night air. As Maze had suspected, Ella was nowhere to be seen.

Linda grinned widely at them as they joined her. "Good, you're here. Let' grab a table, before they're all gone," she stated, grabbing hold of one of her hands and one of Maze's and dragging them past the bouncer on duty, who waved all three right on through to the displeasure of the already growing line of people waiting to get in.

Turned out there was no need to wait for a table. Maze had called ahead and had a table reserved for them. Linda didn't think it odd at all, grinning widely at the demon and sitting down, patting the seat next to her, which Maze soon was sitting in. Chloe joined her on the other side, enough room left for Ella when she decided to join them.

A waiter was soon at the table, asking about orders. And soon enough two whiskeys, a martini and a pina colada were ordered and Chloe was fine with the thought of getting drunk that night.

She rarely let herself have fun, but today was that night for her for this week. Month. She really needed to get a life outside of work.

Chloe was taking her first sip of whiskey when Ella joined them with a huge grin on her face.

"Hey guys. Hope you waited for me and these are the first round," she stated, immediately grabbing at her large glass and sipping her drink through its straw, the umbrella dancing around the outside of the glass as she twirled it with her free hand.

"You didn't miss anything," Linda replied, sipping at her martini.

"Great, then let's get this party started. Who's going to spill first? What order should we do this in, earliest to latest, or latest to earliest?"

"I'll go first. Known him my whole life after all," Maze stated, downing her whiskey and slamming the glass down on the table in front of her.

"I go second then," Linda stated.

"Me third, not that there's much to tell," Ella stated, before grabbing a piece of pineapple and popping it into her mouth.

"Guess I get to listen to everyone else then, huh. Okay. At least then I'll know the mess I have gotten myself into this time."

The others laughed at this and raised their glasses, except Maze who thumped her on the back.

"Well, let's get this story time started then!"

Ad with that said, Maze started telling them about Hell.
