Chapter 2: Samael and chocolate cake

Amenadiel and Maze arrive at Lux. The former angel had found his little brother wandering around on the dancefloor next to the piano. "You found him here?" Maze asks, she was glad to be away from her boss, the devil crying because he sees a demon, pathetic. She was a bit hurt by this reaction but couldn't understand the feeling and pushed it away.

"Maybe we can check the security cameras, you have some right?" Maze nods and takes them to a room behind the bar. You could get anything in Lux but they weren't stupid. A bunch of humans with alcohol, drugs and pleasure can't be trusted with themselves.

Amenadiel watches as the demon opens the footage in the computer. He had been more then surprised as his cute and innocent little brother had run over to him, wings out and teary eyes. He had nearly forgotten this side of his brother. The small creature told him he was lonely and didn't know the place. As a big brother he had to give the toddler a good cuddle before they could talk about it. But the little devil didn't know why he was here or how he ended up in a place like this.

"Found it." Maze pulled him out of his thoughts. The video showed Lucifer playing his piano, nothing special. He had a glass with some kind of alcoholic drink in it. He was alone no one came in after closing hour. The cleaner where finished. The devil, his piano and alcohol. No one else.


Trixie and Samael who was really Lucifer, the real devil and fallen angel were colouring picture. Chloe couldn't really keep her eyes from the small wings that flapped with every movement of the boy, sometimes even without the child making a move. "Mommy, isn't it great, as if Samael is my little brother." Chloe smiled her daughter would have been a great big sister.

"I have many sisters and brothers, a few are older than me but you can be my big sister too, if you want." The angel had listen to Trixie's comment and offered shyly to be her little brother. She hugs him. Different to Lucifer the child accepted the hug and returned it. So it wasn't like Lucifer never had physical contact to others but it must have gone lost over the years. Thinking about it, probably while his time in hell. Hell was a real thing, holy shit ...was she allowed thinking that, was someone listening?

"Chloe you should stop thinking so much." She looked down on the little angel.

"So you know what I'm thinking right now?" Samael shakes his head.

"No but my Daddy is listening, all the time and when there is something to worry about he will fix it." Oh wow, Chloe thought this child had still the unbreakable believe of a child to its parents.

"You are probably right." She didn't tell him that sometimes bad thinks happened and his Father, didn't do a thing to stop them. "Who is hungry?" Trixie's hand shoots up and after a second Samael copies her.

As Chloe get up to search the kitchen for something to eat as there was the second knock on the door. Normally she would just open it. Not today.

"Trixie, Monkey try to make his wings disappear or hide him." Trixie nods and whispers to Samael.

Chloe opens the door and greets Dan. "Hey Dan." She holds the door a bit closer then usually. "What are you doing here?"

Dan lifts his eye brown. "Everything alright, you act a bit strange."

I have an angel in my living room and it my partner in toddler size. "No everything is fine." Something touches her leg and she flinched. Dan notice of course and follows her eyes. Samael hides behind her legs.

"Sorry Mommy he wanted to see if Amenadiel is coming back." Trixie explained. At least his wings are hidden again.

"Who is this child?" While Chloe was still looking for an explanation Trixie was at the door.

"Daddy." She jumps into his arms. "Did you bring the promised chocolate cake? I hope it is enough, Samael has to get some too."

Ah another cake somehow gotten out of her ex. His daughter getting frightening good at this. Chloe let him in and choses to stick to the truth. "It's Amenadiel“s brother he came because he needed Maze for something and I offered to watch him. He had already started to play with Trixie."

"Mommy can we eat the chocolate cake now. Please." Followed by Samael with a big eyed. "Please."

"Fine, up to the table." Both children were excited and as Samael jumps up on a chair his wings come out again.

Dan let nearly the cake fall but Chloe caught it.

"Samael, you are supported to keep them hidden." Trixie lectured the small angel who was looking behind his back to look at his wings.

"Sorry, didn't notice that they came out, I never had to hide them." Samael makes a face as if he would concentrate very hart, the wings disappear but the second he sits down with his legs hanging down from the chair, the wings appear again. As Trixie starts to say something again Chloe stopped. "It's alright Monkey, Daddy has already seen them." She takes the cake and cuts it into small slices, the children wait patiently, while Trixie explained what chocolate cake is so Samael understand why they are both so excited.

"Dan, say something."

"There is ..."

"Yes, an angel."

"And he has ..."

"Wings, yes. Its fine he is a baby he won't do any harm." She tries to calm him down, she really waits for her own breaking point but the knowledge that this little helpless creature was Lucifer was really helping.

"Wait a minute. Why is this baby angels name Samael, that's was Lucifer's angel name in the bible before he fell." Impressed about his knowledge she lays a hand on his shoulder.

"It is Lucifer, Maze and Amenadiel try to find out what happen and this little boy is safest with us." She takes the cake and pushes Dan to the table. The children digging into their pieces as they hadn't seen food in a week. Dan was still watching the child's wings but after a while he relaxes as if he had realizes that nothing really changes. It could even be easier for him a believer in God.

After cake Samael just looked dead tired in his feet. "Samael would you like to have a nap." The child shakes his head.

"Where is my brother?" He asks with a teary voice. "I miss him and want him back." Chloe stands up and lifts the child into her arms holding it tight.

"He will be back soon, don't worry he has to do something important and he can do it with Mazes help faster."

"How about we lay down here a bit." Chloe had carried the angel into Trixie's bedroom, the bed was made and they could lay down on it quite comfortable. It didn't take long before Samael fell asleep. She let the door a bit open so Samael wouldn't be afraid when walking up.


Maze repeated the short video sequent. One second Lucifer was standing in the middle of the dance floor and the next a flash of light appears swollowed the devil and spit out the baby version of an angel.
