I do not own Lucifer.
Welcome back everyone, I am super excited to share this story with you! I wasn't planning on a sequel but castings for season two changed that. This story only slightly follows the season, just characters and a few events. At it's core, it's a family story. Shout out to my writing buddy who gave me a crash course in demonology for both this story and the first one. Seriously man, I could not do it without you.
The sun had barely risen on the desert horizon, the morning star was fighting to stay visible in the clear sky. Then it lost the battle when large gray clouds appeared out of nowhere and touched the Earth. It only lasted a moment, they lifted, leaving two figures standing there.
The man stood tall in a black suit, there was a sense of power and danger about him. The woman's red hair whipped around her face until the wind died down. She was wearing a long black dress. While they didn't look alike at first glance, they did have the same dark eyes. There was something other worldly about them.
The man lifted his eyes to the Heavens. "Really, Dad? This is the middle of nowhere!" Not even back on Earth for five seconds and he was already annoyed.
"Come on, Lucifer. Let's start walking to civilization." The woman told him. She had already spotted a road. And all roads lead to Rome so to speak.
They began to follow the road, the sun was behind them, so they were heading west. Exactly what was west, they didn't know.
Lucifer had to control his long stride so she wouldn't fall behind. They were in this together, as siblings should be. Then her hand gripped his elbow. She was pulling off her high heeled shoes. "These were not made for walking." She informed him, now she had to carry them. But she didn't mind walking barefoot. If there was one thing she missed it was dirt under her feet.
Lucifer felt her shadow leave his and he looked around. Now she was walking on the other side of the road. "Why are you over there?" He asked, he didn't have the faintest idea why she could want space.
"This is your fault. She escaped because of you." Anger was already in her voice.
"My fault? Why is it my fault, Lilith? I wasn't even there." He defended himself. He kept walking so Lucifer didn't see her pause and bend down. But he did feel the rock. It hit him hard between the shoulder blades. It didn't hurt but she had become violent towards him, that was a new one. He turned around to her.
Her dark eyes were focused on him. "Exactly. You weren't there. You weren't there to stop her."
"Careful there, sister. You could start a wildfire." Lucifer warned, he could see the smoke coming from the ends of her hair. "And since we are throwing blame around, technically it's the other way around. I left you in charge while I was gone. So it's your fault she escaped."
"Who in their right mind leaves their little sister in charge of Hell!?" Lilith screamed. Yes, she was a fallen angel like Lucifer, but she was not cut out to rule anything.
"Right, I don't know what I was thinking." He yelled back.
"You never think! Ever!" Her eyes closed and she forced herself to calm down. Lilith held up her hands. "Stop it, stop it! We don't argue."
"What are you taking about? We argue all the time."
"No, we argue with them." She pointed up. "Not each other. We are a team."
Lucifer sighed. She was right, she usually was anyway. They had to stick together. This was not a vacation, they were working on Earth.
Silence fell between them, they were better but Lilith stayed on her side of the road. They just kept walking.
The sun was high in the sky when Lucifer finally broke the silence. "We need a car." He announced.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious."
Then, as if Heaven sent, they saw the flash of a car a mile down the road.
"Couldn't have done that hours earlier, Dad?" Lucifer asked the sky. Lilith couldn't agree more. Then he got a better look at the driver. "There's a bloke behind the wheel. He's all yours."
"Thanks." Lilith scoffed. But given enough time Lilith could make a man do anything, She fixed her dressing, pulling the neckline down a bit more before holding her thumb out.
The car slowed and stopped right next to her. "Hello darling, what's a pretty thing like you doing all the way out here?" The driver was handsome and did not lack confidence.
Lilith smiled, this was almost too easy for her. "I'm lost and need a ride to the nearest gas station." She half pouted.
"Must be your lucky day." Then he looked over at Lucifer. "Who's the stiff? I'll take you anywhere you want but him… that's debatable."
She looked up at her brother, there was a flash of vengeance in her eyes.
"Lilith…" He growled.
She rolled her eyes then turned back to the driver. "As much as I would love to leave him, we travel together."
"If you insist. Passenger seat is all yours. We can discuss payment on the way. I'm sure it would be pleasurable for the both of us."
Lilith grinned but then saw something in his eyes that turned her off. His confidence was making for his lack of skills in bed. So, she had a different plan. A cruel smile crossed her face. She grabbed the back of his head and slammed him into the steering wheel. Then she opened the door and pulled the body out.
She glanced at Lucifer. "Shotgun."
Lucifer nodded in approval before getting into the driver's seat. Lilith was already settled in the passenger's seat. They sat in silence for a few minutes. Confused Lilith turned to question him.
Without a word, Lucifer exited the car, opened the trunk and dropped the driver inside. Lilith watched in shock. She couldn't form words when Lucifer got back in the car.
"I only punish the guilty not the stupid, Lilith."
"You're losing your touch, Lucifer." She said. The Devil was losing his touch, what was this world coming to?
The engine started and the next leg of the journey began. Wanting to be comfortable Lilith rested her feet on the dashboard. That action earned her a death glare from her brother. "What? This isn't your car."
Lucifer couldn't stand the quiet so he turned the radio on. Hard rock pumped through the speakers
But Lilith reached for the dial and changed it. Hard rock became rap.
They suddenly turned into children fighting over a toy. He changed the dial to opera.
She changed it to techno.
He changed it to bubble gum pop.
Could the siblings not agree on music?
"Amazing grace…"
Both Lucifer and Lilith went to turned that off. They were not going to hear to that, and silence was so much better.
OMG, they are so funny together. I think they also balance each other out well.
