Authors Notes: Story begins ruffly around this scene after Malcolm's death in season 1 episode 13. This is just an idea I got from a few things I've read, basically ignoring that Charlotte is a semi decent Goddess and depicting her as a cruel manipulative woman who wants revenge on God but takes her revenge out on the favourite son, knowing that it will affect God the most. Will most likely bring in the other Archangels -Michael, Raphael and Gabriel- sorry if any of the religious facts are wrong, I don't mean to be rude or anything as I respect all religions but I am not a religious person other than a fascination with angels and demons.

"Someone escaped from Hell. I think He wants me to bring our jailbird back."
"That's it? Well, it shouldn't be too hard to track down a single soul." Amenadiel joked but watched confused as Lucifer took a nervous swig of his drink, "You're afraid?"
"Damn right I am."
"But you're never afraid. Who could possibly scare you, brother?" But Lucifer didn't reply, "Lucifer, who escaped Hell?" After another moment of silence, Lucifer answered with a single word that was laced with fear,
"Mum."

Lucifer was afraid. No, he was terrified. His mother was not someone to joke about. She had caused plagues and floods over a lover's spat with his Father. Lucifer was downright frightened at what the consequences he faced after putting her in a dark cell and ignoring her for an aeon. His Father wanted Lucifer to return her to Hell -or so he thought considering He never gave a clear message- but considering Lucifer didn't have his wings anymore, he seriously doubted he had the strength to even get a good hit on the Goddess.

"Lucifer what are you doing? Are you drunk?" Maze asked in confusion as she had seen her master drunk about once or twice in the thousands of years she has been with him,

"That I am Mazikeen. Ah, you haven't heard the 'brilliant' news, have you? Someone escaped from Hell. It was dear old mum." He said in a slurred voice, Maze's eyes widened.

"Okay, Lucifer, we will deal with this in the morning. Now, you need to go to bed and sleep." He protested but as soon as Maze dumped him on his bed, the tall Devil passed out and entered the realm of Morpheus.

"Lucifer" He heard someone whisper but he couldn't see anyone in the dark blanket that covered his surroundings, "I'm coming for you. Revenge…so sweet. Pathetic, unloved, weak…. just wait. I'll be there soon. Your torment and torture for the sake of revenge…will be soon enough my dear…son." He felt hands around his neck, he couldn't breathe.

Lucifer woke with a gasp. His hands gently massaging his aching neck. Hesitantly he made his way to the bathroom and was surprised to find a hand shaped bruise on his neck. Sighing, he took a shower and got dressed before receiving a text from the detective informing him of a new case. So he got in his car and drove down to the warehouse where the crime scene lay before him.

Upon entering the dull and blood scented warehouse, Lucifer noticed symbols of crimson on the walls and floor. He walked over to where he could find the blonde detective and greeted her with a grin and cheeky retort which she ignored. The Devil looked at the crime scene before him and couldn't help but feel nausea rise in his throat.

In the centre of a pentagram made of blood, was a man. He had words carved into his naked torso and chest, his face had symbols drawn on with -what Lucifer assumed was the victim's blood. He couldn't look at the victim's terror-stricken and dead eyes anymore and instead looked at the words carved into his body. Lucifer felt the nausea return as he made out the words 'Revenge', 'Torture', 'Suffering' and multiple unreadable words that were covered in still dripping blood.

"Lucifer, look at this," Chloe said as she pointed to the wall behind Lucifer, there was, even more, blood used as ink. The message on the wall caused Lucifer to pale, his throat tightened and his hands began to shake.

"'I'm coming for you favourite son. Be prepared…to fail your Father once again. No matter the failure you are, he still loves you. Revenge will be sweet like a fruit from the Garden of Eden. You fell once due to Him. Now you shall fall by my hand…and you will perish. He does not care enough to save you…why would he? He gave you this job knowing you would not succeed. No one cares…'" Chloe read out. Lucifer didn't know whether to be more disgusted by how much blood was used or by the message that was clearly from his mother and for him. "What could that mean?"
"That our killer is a deranged and vengeful soul that escaped from Hell, who is determined to take her revenge on her ex-husband by taking out the favourite son aka Lucifer the Devil and God's Lightbringer." Lucifer stated, Chloe just gave him an exasperated and fed up look, "Detective if you don't want my help then I really must go."
"I never said that."
"No, but that expression on your face says enough. Look believe what you want but I can't participate in solving this crime considering you do not believe me and I have a very large problem at hand that risks not only my life but also the human races. So if you will excuse me, I must take my leave." Chloe could only watch in confusion as the tall black haired man hastily exited the room as though he was being chased.

Author's Notes: I know it's a short chapter but this was a good place to end chapter one -plus I'm quite tired so anything else I wrote would probably be pretty rubbish.

I know I haven't written anything in a while -well I uploaded a Supernatural fic but it was bad so I removed it- but that's because I have had no inspiration whatsoever. Like if anyone has any Harry Potter or Lucifer prompts/AU's that they would like to read then please feel free to DM me them but yeah I've been in a horrifying state of writer's block for god knows how long!

Anyway,

Thanks for reading,
Hope you enjoyed,
Please review,

Bye~
