Too small for flying

Chapter 1: Samael and the reviled identity

Chloe was nearly finished with her breakfast; Trixie has still a bit of egg and a slice of toast on her plate. She had told her she was hungry and she wants to eat more. Of course Chloe had foreseen this outcome.

"Mommy?" Chloe looked at her daughter who was watching her plate.

"Yes, Monkey." But before her little girl could tell her that she couldn't manage any more, someone was knocking at the door. She doesn't expect company and her roommate was still sleeping, like always.

To her surprise it was Amenadiel, an unexpected visitor. "Good morning Amenadiel, what can I do for you."

The man looked nervous. "I need to talk to Maze. I know she is sleeping but it is some kind of emergency, could you get her, please." Before Chloe could get Maze something moved next to her visitors legs. To her surprise it was a child, a boy around three or four.

Amenadiel followed her eyes and sigh. "Samael, I told you to wait in the car." The boy was hiding shyly behind the big man's leg.

"Car is boring, want to play, please brother, I want to play." Called by the voice of another child Trixie ran to the door.

"Hi, my name is Trixie; would you like to play with me?" As Trixie came running Samael had tried to hide more behind Amenadiel“s leg but now his wish to play was bigger, he steps out and follows his new playmate inside the flat.

The adults had watched the interactions with interest. "Who is that child and why does he call you brother?"

"Because he is my brother and I just need Maze to help me with something." The man's insecurity was getting to her nerves not that his normal emotionless mode was better.

"Fine I will get her." A loud sneeze from behind gets her attention. She turns around again, Trixie and Samael where on the carpet to colour at the couch table. The one that had sneezed was the little boy, but something was wrong, something on his back. The child stands up and from the side she could see what was wrong. Two beautiful white and very small wings were in his back.

The boy looked up to his brother. "They came out again and I can't get them to disappear."

Amenadiel checks the humans in the room, the child seem fine but Chloe looked like she would freak out the next second. "That's okay; as long as we are in this house nothing will happen, play a bit with your new friend." He turns back to Chloe. "Chloe don't panic, the child is a baby angel and it is Lucifer."

Chloe really was near a panic attack but Lucifer's name got her attention. Forgotten was everything about God is real, there was a much smaller crisis to attempt to. "What do you mean that this is Lucifer?"

"I came to Lux and found him like that, I have to find out what happen and for that I need Maze."

Probably woken by all the fuss Maze appears, dressed and in a mood as she sees who the guest was. "Decker why do you let him in? It's far too early for-"

She was interrupted by a child scream. Samael or better little Lucifer was hiding behind Trixie's back. "There is a demon." The little angel screamed and as Maze looked at him he tries to hide more.

"What the hell." She recognizes him imminently, his wings was a dead giveaway. Lucifer the light bringer had the most beautiful wings between all the angels. "Hey Amenadiel why is Lucifer like that?"


While the adults started a heated conversation about angels, demons, God and more thinks Trixie doesn't understand she turns to her new friend who was really afraid of Maze. "Maze is our friend and she will protect us whenever someone is trying to hurt us. You don't have to be afraid of her." The little boy was looking at her and the demon.

"But she is a demon, her face is half melted." For this discerption came only the Halloween face Maze showed her into Trixie's mind, so it wasn't a mask but her real face. "Cool." Samael wasn't sure what she means by that. But it seems as his new friend trusted the demon, a protector. Maybe they had tamed her in doing so. While thinking about the strange surrounding, him being on earth as his brother called this planet earth and all the strange people called human. But he felt as if he could trust this child, there was no lie in her words.

"Why we're your wings not visible a second ago?" Trixie ask to get her friends mind away from Maze.

"My brother told me that humans are not allowed to see them but you seem to be an exception."

"That's cool, you can hide them." She giggles.

"I also should be able to fly, but it doesn't really work, yet. They don't move like I want them to." Trixie looks at the wings.

"Can you move them?" Samael was trying, the wings moved but not like they should for flying, at least for how birds use their wings.

"I will try it." Trixie wasn't sure that will work but the boy climbs on top of the kitchen work top, opens his wings and stands at the edge.

"Samael I don't think you should do that." The little angel jumps and doesn't fly, he fell right on the floor. The following tears where a signal for the adults to stop their argument.

Amenadiel was the first one to get to them, Trixie's comforting wasn't helping. The boy was crying in his big brothers arms. "What happened?" Chloe ask her daughter.

"Samael said he wants to try flying and he jumped from up here." She pointed at the angels' starting point. "I'm sorry I should have stopped him." Trixie was close to tears too. Amenadiel had listened to her story.

"Samael, I told you a thousand times that you can't fly yet you are too small." The angel listens but he would try again, as soon as the pain in his arm and leg disappears.

"What is your plan with him?" Chloe asks.

"We take him with us and find out what happened." Maze came closer and Samael hides in his brothers arms.

"He could stay here, he can play with Trixie and you two can concentrate in finding a solution.

Amenadiel was thinking, could he trust two humans with his little brother? It was probably safer than taking him with them. "Sam, would you like to stay here with Chloe and Trixie while Maze and I have to look at something."

The child was clearly thinking. Staying here with two humans or going with his brother and a demon. It could be really boring with his brother and he could play a bit longer.

"I want to play with Trixie." Amenadiel set him down. Trixie was happy about it top and pulls her friend back to the colouring table.

"Chloe listen, young angels can't really control their wings. I tried to teach him to hide it but you saw how easy they came out. You should stay inside. You can call me whenever you have a question, Linda is also aware of Lucifer's real identity. He won't ask for our parents but he could ask for his siblings. Try to distract him from these thoughts, it wouldn't go well when he prays to them and they find out he is a toddler.

Chloe nods, hoping she would manage her new task for a once quiet day. Amenadiel and Maze left without saying goodbye and Chloe was alone with the two children.
