Disclaimer: I don't own Lucifer..
Chapter 1: The beginning
It was early afternoon Lucifer and Chloe were sitting in the car enjoying some milkshakes as they waited for the perb to round the corner of the shop.
Lucifer had been shocked when the detective not only allowed him to stay by her side after learning the truth, but had kissed him. She had seen his face and didn't run and didn't scream or hide Trixie.
His beautiful detective had accepted him. She truly was a miracle. It took her a few days to come around but once she did she never left his side.
It has been two months since Cain and things have gotten back to normal. He didn't know why he was so scared of before he should have realized his Detective was strong.
The only thing that has changed was his relationship with Chloe. Now, that everything was in the open he could finally be with her the way he always wanted. Her hands in his, candle lit dinners, and more game nights.
They went near where they figured out the perb tired to sell back the victim's computer and other electrical devices. They could not afford to let that happen. What was on those drives were circumstantial evidence.
The same perp was also seen near a museum downtown and stolen a book said to contain old incantations and rituals to help battle angels and demons. Including the devil.
When Lucifer joked around about it at Lux when he first heard about the book, He doubted the spells and rituals were actually effective.
Luckily the managed to track them down now all they have to do is wait it out. Lucifer was a little bored but he spent six hours with the Detective without any interruptions.
It was heavenly or at least it was. What they did not count on was the perp rounding the corner with a centuries old book stolen book through the crowded city.
Chloe got out the car and ran through the crowded city. Pushing passed a few people in the process.
" LAPD stop now' ! She said as she continued chasing after the perp. But, they did not stop they also increased their speed, the crowded city provided them with the perfect camouflage.
Chole hunched over by exhaustion watches desperately as the prep slipped through her fingers. Her hands on her knees as she watched the prep run.
Suddenly there was the sound of wings gliding through the wind and they were picked up off the ground screaming with fear and confusion. As they were set down on the ground beside Chole.
"Great, my suit is all wrinkled now, hello there thought I could drop in and get better acquainted". Lucifer said in a dangerous federal tone as he showed his devil face at the perp screamed as Chole quickly had them handcuffed.
"Lucifer you didn't need to scare them that wasn't part of the plan."
"Them?" Lucifer said inquisitively he only saw one perp but clearly she said it as if the perp had a accomplice. Lucifer forced back a yawn they stayed up all night going through flies of paperwork.
Normally, he was the king of all nighters but because he was around Chloe the lack of sleep has taken its toll. Lucifer couldn't help but feel a bit of pride that he had someone as brilliant, sexy and strong in his life.
He was in a dark place before he met her he couldn't imagine his time on Earth without her. Father, he sounded like a bloody Hallmark card but he couldn't help it. Chloe brought back the old him the lightbringer, the angel.
He tired to pin it all on his father but he knew deep down why his wings returned and why his Devil face reappeared. It is because he needed both parts of him to properly protect Chole he saw that now.
Lucifer had to admit the plan was genius he didn't like the idea of him having to stay behind until she convinced the prep that she 'lost them'.
Having him meet on the other side was something only his incredibly gorgeous Detective would come up with, He was a little concerned the plan would backfire but it didn't Lucifer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Chole rolled her eyes with a smile typical Lucifer. They had a long talk about how the perp was part of a organization that practices extortion of stolen goods from historical artifacts to laptops.
But, as usual he had the attention span of a five year old. And the stamma of one ...she thought her cheeks turning pink remembering what they did last weekend.
"I know I get a little carried away sometimes I apologize Detective". He brushed away some stray hairs behind her ear and gave a small peck on the cheek.
"Lucifer". she said sternly scolded trying to cover up how pink her cheeks turned from his small amount of tenderness. She had decided to use one of the ground rules she had implemented when they started to date.
Which was no PDA no matter how tempting it was they can not afford to look unprofessional when they were at work.
Chole thought Lucifer would be terrible at being a boyfriend, terrible at being faithful but he had proved her wrong. He was very nurturing and cared about her needs deeply.
When Chole first met Lucifer she thought he was hot,until he opened his mouth with sexual innuendos. He was charming a bit immature and full of himself but he has grown a lot since then.
She had a small crush on him since the beginning However, his Playboy behavior and the fact she believed him to be crazy at the time kept her attraction to him at Bay.
Or at least until that day on the beach for a moment it seemed like nothing mattered until she got poisoned. And Cain happened she wished she never met him, he ruined her relationship with Lucifer, But thankfully they had grown from it.
But, now that the truth was out she could finally admit herself. Damn he is sexy. Just looking at him and his features clued her in that he was a angel he didn't have a single imperfection on his body.
Before she met Lucifer she never thought about what the devil would really look like in real life.
Because she never thought that the Devil and the words real and life would ever co exist in the same sentence. While, he always looked great he looked especially good today.
He had this glow about him. He was looking up at the sky with a bittersweet smile. In deep thought his hair was gelled down but she could see a few strands threatening to escape.
Chole took out her phone and snapped a picture before he could turn around and placed it in her pocket.
"Yes them remember we are investigating a organization that embezzles from Museums and priceless artifacts." Chloe said retreating back to her defective mode.
Lucifer looked away from the sky and faced her as he chuckled a bit making Chole look at him incredulously her face drawn in a thin scowl.
"Sorry defective I just fail to see why people would steal the book of rituals most humans don't have a strong enough soul to even conquer anything".
Chole always considered herself well adoptable to dangerous or impossible scenarios it was how she was able to make Detective. But, she still has to get used to all this heaven and hell celestial talk.
"What do you mean"? Chloe asked curiously she had been trying in vain not to ask a bunch of questions, knowing that Lucifer had tired to tell her most of this stuff before. But, she couldn't recall him mentioning this book or the strength of souls.
Lucifer sighed and said, "Very well I was hoping I never got to see this book ever again. Thousands of years ago. After the first edition of the Bible was written there were certain.people who wanted to harness the powers celestial beings. But, to do this they had to capture one and guess who they captured."
"Oh Lucifer". Chloe said pulling him in a hug it was a little awkward because he was taller but she couldn't help but feel bad for all that has happened to him.
Lucifer smiled softly his eyes not
matching his face as he took a deep breath and continued. " I had no idea how the figured all this out, probably from one of my siblings my bets on Michael the bastard.
Anyway, they found out that they needed someone with a resilient soul someone who had seen great sorrow and held kindness in their heart.
This book needs three ingredients to work a sacrifice living or dead because everything was about sacrifice back then, blood from a celestial being Angel or demon the stronger the being the longer the spell, and a item they hold precious."
Chole shivered a bit about the living or dead part. Were people really that cruel back then. Suddenly she had flashbacks about learning accident history and all the rituals that required a virgin sacrifice.
"Did they ever get to use it on you"? She asked him hoping that they didn't. The idea of someone hurting him made her blood boil.
"No, thankfully Maze found the cave they captured me in and well do I have to say what she did".
Chole nodded and said, "We have to find that book who knows what those spells could do to a human if it fell into the wrong hands but first we have to drop off our perp at the Precinct."
She broke away from the hug and took the perp in the back of her car. Slamming the door behind her as she ran back and pulled Lucifer into the passenger seat.
Meanwhile, back at a old abandoned theatre a shadowy figure gathering around a pentagram it spread out its wings the candles flickering on either side of the pentagram.
The Lord of hell condemned in exile
Shall Know the pain of hearts Sting
Unless a he takes a soul to be his bride
The devil suffers until his pain until his blood is the only thing to remain. For in he can't find a bride by the next full moon he shall know only pain and sorrow around the one he loves most.
The angel took our a blade and slashed a big gash into his arm. The drops of blood fell on the floor. Along with a lock of Chloe's hair, a feather from Lucifer, and a glass from lux.
The angel grinned under his hood as he looked down at the sacrifice his mouth taped over tears streaming down his face.
" It is time to get what you deserve brother".
Next time on Devil's Bride
"A marriage ritual is that real"?"Apparently it is, I don't want the defective to marry me out of obligation I want her to choose"!"Maze I want to help Lucifer what can I do?"If you want to help him Chloe you have to stay away"
"This ritual could kill me by itself but with the detective around it gets stronger"..
