Chapter 3

Maze knew that it was a long shot, but this is where she had to be because she wasn't home. The moment she rounded the corner she knew that something wasn't right, and she immediately took out her knives, the air in the area was a wrong. Something dark had happened here, and she just hoped that whatever it was might still be around because she really needed to kill something right now so that her mind didn't go back to Lucifer.

She didn't quite understand what she was seeing when she entered Dr. Linda Martin's office. She was just sitting there as if someone was sitting in front of her, but there was no one there. When she looked closer she noticed that her bottom lip was trembling, and as she looked closer she realized that the seat was wet as if she had, she had she had wet herself.

"Linda?" she questioned.

It was at that moment that Linda Martin was snapped back to reality and that's when she noticed Maze was sitting in front of her. Maze who he had referred to constantly in their sessions as his demon. She rose from her seat trying to get away.

"You need to get out of here right now!" she demanded

"What happened? Who did this to you? I'll make them pay!"

"Is what he says about you true?"

"What? Who?"

"He told me you were his protector, that you were there to make sure nothing harmed him, that you were a demon and the devil's protector! He showed me his face and I…I…I gotta get outta here!"

Things were starting to fall in to place, something had broken her master and now she knew who had done it, the thing now was would she let her get away with it.

"What did you do?" she snarled at her former friend.

"He was going on and on about the things he'd done and he told me he killed his brother. Constantly slipping back into that Lucifer persona, and I told him I had enough and then he showed me his true face."

"He has been screaming to the rooftops who he is the entire time! You have been to blind to believe him and are you telling me when my Lord and Master gave you the privilege of see his face you dejected him?"

"That's not what happened, I didn't even know he was gone until you got here. So tell me, has the powerful demon sent you to drag me to hell. Are you going to kill me?" Linda asked.

Maze was enraged. The thought of hurting this woman in so many ways was exciting to her, but then she really took at the whole scene and realized that she was terrified. She really thought that she was there to cause bodily harm to her. It didn't matter about all the conversations they had had over drinks, or the friendship that she thought they were forging. Lucifer had come and bared his soul to her because of what he done, because she thought he could trust her. In the end she had been broken in a way, but her dejection cut much deeper when it came to Lucifer, and as a doctor she should have known that.

"I thought that you would be able to keep him afloat, but now when I look at him my Lucy is nowhere in sight. If Chloe Decker can't fix him, first I'll handle her, but then I'm coming for you because he's keeping her in the dark. He's thinking of her feelings, and the feelings that he has for her, but you he trusted you enough with a secret as big as the universe and you broke him. If she doesn't fix him, I'll be back you Ms. Martin, and when I get here it's going to hurt, and I'm going to enjoy every last bit of."

*Broken*

She didn't know how long she had been screaming his name. She wanted to call an ambulance, but what would she tell them was wrong with him. Something had happened recently. Something had changed him, and brought up something from his past. She finally gotten him into the shower to cool him down. She just hoped Maze got back soon.

He couldn't stop it. No matter how he tried, and he kept trying he couldn't stop it. He could feel them, all of the souls that he had torture, they were torturing him back. They were stealing his mind, and all he kept seeing was the horrible things he'd done to them play back before his eyes on a jumbotron screen. He kept trying to cling to reality. He knew Maze was there, but she'd gone. Even she knew he had fallen, but Chloe was there too. She was there because she didn't know the real him, what would happen if he showed himself to her? She'd leave, and then he'd be all alone again. She had taken off his clothes and put him in the shower, but what was he supposed to do now?

Uriel meant so much to him. After the fall when it got harder to see his brothers, he thought of them fondly and what they might be doing. Yet his brother wasn't happy to see him, he'd come to take their mother back to hell. Why couldn't they see that what they were asking was wrong? Why didn't they see the manipulation that was happening, and not on the side of their mother? He couldn't give him their mother, and he couldn't let them hurt Chloe. He'd done it, he'd killed his brother.

He looked down at his hands and it was everywhere, how come she didn't see it. The blood, Uriel's blood, Malcolm's blood, the blood of everyone he had ever served his justice too. How could she not see, he had to get it off, he had to get it off!

*Broken*

Chloe knew that he was barely standing up, but after she had helped him from his clothes she decided to get him a little privacy to bathe himself as she tracked down something for him to wear. Sure he was a lot taller than Dan but he bought his clothes bigger so his sweats should do.

She walked into the bathroom and was stunned. Lucifer's body was turning red, he had gotten her bath sponge and rubbing himself raw. She hadn't realized, but she had hopped inside fully clothed.

"What are you doing Lucifer?" she asked scared.

"Can't you see it! It's everywhere, I keep trying and trying but it won't come off. I'm so dirty how can you look at me, I'll never be clean again. I want to be clean. Can't you help me, please detective, can't you make it go away?"

The helplessness of his face was making her heart ache. This man who had only been in her life for a year was killing her tonight and he had no idea. She loved her husband, that she knew, but this, this seemed like it went deeper than what they had. He was slowly claiming her soul.

"Lucifer it's okay." She touched his cheek.

"I can see it, whenever I close my eyes they're right there, all that I've done. I'm coated in their I'm coated in his blood. How can you look at me I'm a monster!" he shouted pulling at his hair again.

"No Lucifer, you're fine. I don't know what happened but I'm here for you, I'm going to help you. I just need you to trust me. Do you trust me Lucifer?"

There she was again. When he knew that no one could love him, that he wasn't worthy of anything there she was. Why did she make him feel this way? Why did she do this to him? It was all her fault. She made him feel this way. If he'd just kill her it would all be over. That was it, Chloe Decker had to die!

Chloe had been standing there trying to decide what was going through his mind. There were tons of emotions dancing over his eyes, and seemed like they were getting darker by the minute. Then without warning he grabbed her and shoved her to the back of the shower forcefully.

"Lucifer! What the hell are you doing?"

"It's you! My life was perfect, and I didn't have to worry about anything, but you did this to me! You are making me vulnerable, I've killed for you! I've done everything for you and now I've..I've….."

Chloe Decker was scared. She something in his eyes that she had never seen and she was sure that he was about to kill her. She knew something was wrong with him. It was always there in the back of her mind that he was insane, but she thought she would at least be near his gun when he finally broke, and then it happened.

This was not what he planned, he wanted to kill her but when he saw that look in her eye that's when he knew. That's when he knew that he would never be able to hurt this woman. She was everything, and before he knew it there lips were meeting, and they were kissing. He was holding on to her tightly as he kissed her passionately, and for the first time she was letting go.

End Notes: Oh yea, shall I let them do it? Comments are love. It says I have eight but I can only read three hopefully that'll get fixed.
