Lucifer

Lux

Chapter 4

Lux slumbered almost soundlessly, even with the pain killers; she was not completely pain free. However, she still managed to sleep rather deeply. She felt safe, for the first time in what felt like months; even if she had no idea why she felt unsafe, in the first place. Or how her body was in the condition that it was in, but the bed, still felt nice against her exposed stomach. It was so soft, it even held a faint scent that reminded her of Lucifer. The smell helped Lux relax, helped her feel safer knowing he wasn't far. The blanket gave her legs and lower back that warm fuzzy feeling. It felt like her armor at the moment, to the world around her. Even if her upper body felt cold, she was not about to risk putting her body through any more pain by moving.

The deeper she fell under the intoxication of the medicine, the more out of it, she became. They might not take all the pain, but it sure made her feel a little better if not a little out of it. It could perhaps be from the blood, she lost. By the time Lucifer got her out of the bath some of the water was developing a slight pink hue. Even if it was painful, regardless of how gentle Lucifer had tried to be with her, that bath did give her one thing. Cleanliness. Lux's wounds felt slightly better even if they were irritated and angry. She felt clean, it felt so nice. For some reason she thought she hadn't had a decent bath, in she didn't know how many days. She wished she could remember what happened to her before she came here. She didn't remember where she had been before she woke up at Lux.

Lux was so out of it, slipping in and out of consciousness at times, that she did not hear the footsteps that entered the room. The large shadow of a figure crawls across her small frame. She was blissfully unaware, that was until she felt it. An acute burning pain coursed through her body that paralyzed her. The smell of acidic charcoal was foul as it reached her nostrils, she felt as though she would pass out from the pain. Just as she started to lose consciousness, she thought she heard a voice. Just as the darkness once again devoured her, she heard the sound of a bullet leaving the barrel with a fiery bang.

Lucifer glared at Amenadiel, his brother was playing games with him and he was not going to have it.

"I will not ask you again," Lucifer snarled, "Who the hell did that to her?"

"And I have told you, repeatedly, Luci." Amenadiel said exasperatedly, "You already know who it was. It couldn't have been a human, you already knew that brother. So why ask such questions in which you already know the answer."

Lucifer was about to demand more details from his brother, when his phone rang. This was the third time since he has been with Amenadiel. He answered the phone.

"I'm a little busy here, Chloe…"

"I need you to come to Lux."

"What?" His eyes darted back to Amenadiel who looked at him.

"I'll be right there." Click.

Amenadiel looked smugly at Lucifer, "Guess he found her."

Lucifer ignored Amenadiel's smug expression he didn't have time to argue with or to put him in his place at the moment. Right now he was more focused on getting back to the club.

When Lucifer entered the club he was greeted by Chloe and a man being taken out on a stretcher.

"She won't let anyone near her," she tried to continue, but he just walked past her. As he got closer he could hear Lux starting to yell at someone to get away from her.

The moment he stepped into the doorway of his bedroom, Lux called his name. He was by her side after a few quick strides. She trembled in his arms and buried her face within his neck. Taking him in trying to calm herself.

"Where the hell is Mazikeen?" Lucifer demanded.

"She's not here, Lucifer." Chloe said, "But we found the man who did this. He's not making any sense. He keeps babbling about a man and voices, but no one can understand him."

"Did you shoot him?" Lucifer asked, getting angrier with every second. He watched the paramedic attempt to clean the scorch marks. She gripped his clothes tighter every time they touched her and yet she barely made a sound. Lucifer knew she was trying not to set him further. She could feel the rage coming off of him in waves; the paramedic was clearly feeling it too.

"Yes."

"Good, but he's not at fault for this."

"What, I saw him."

"I know what you saw, Chloe. But, I know who he was talking about."

"Who?"

Lucifer stayed by Lux's side while a paramedic tended to the injury and he never answered Chloe. Lucifer spoke soothing words to Lux while his eyes burned with hatred at the mark that had been branded with a hot iron into her flesh. The smell reminded him of of the one place he never wanted to remember again, hell, and that angered him even more. The curves of the scorched flesh formed a symbol, a symbol that confirmed what Amenadiel had told him. Lucifer was going to torture him; he was going to feel Lucifer's wrath, in its entirety, in one swift agonizing execution. He would show no mercy and send that vile creature back to to where he came from.

"Lucifer?" the voice was a concerned Chloe, "I have a few questions for you."

Lucifer nodded as he made eye contact with Lux, "I'll just be right over there ok? I am not going anywhere."

Lux nodded and softly whimpered, not because he was leaving her, but because of the pain from the paramedic caring for her. When Lucifer followed Chloe into the club he slammed his fist onto one of the small tables. The table splintered and collapsed under Lucifer's force.

Chloe gasped, "Apparently, you are stronger than you look." Lucifer straightened and looked at her, he could see the fear behind her eyes.

"You had questions."

"Right, yes." She said pulling out her notebook, "I know this wasn't you but I have to ask, where you were at the time of…"

"With my brother."

"What's her name and how do you know her?"

Lucifer sighed, "Her name is Lux, and she's my wife."

"You're married!?" Chloe was shocked.

"I guess you could say that." Lucifer said, "it's complicated, we do things a little differently than you humans do... but if it helps you go ahead. We're married. Next question."

"Do you know why he would do something like that?"

"To get back at me…"

"For what?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Try me?"

"Chloe, I am the King of Hell, who wouldn't want to get back to me? Considering I get blamed for everyone's bad deeds."

"Lucifer," Chloe said slowly, "Earlier you said the man I shot wasn't at fault. What did you mean?"

"The mark on her back, it's not just a symbol, it's a calling card."

Chloe looked at Lucifer, puzzled, "Whose?"

"You won't believe me. It's a calling card in the parts of the reality that you don't believe in."

"Ok enlightened me. Who do you think is responsible for this?"

"My son, Mael."

Chloe stared at Lucifer flabbergasted, "You hate kids."

"I do. Just because I hate them, doesn't mean I don't have them."

A/N: There you go guys. What did you think? I hope this chapter was OK. I am not sure how I feel about it. I might end up rewriting it. Sorry, I had a hard time explaining about Lux and Lucifer's relationship; I wanted them to do things differently than we do. I had a hard time explaining it. Anyway, if I end up rewriting this chapter I will let you guys know with "re-uploaded" in the description. I will post it as a new chapter before I take this one down just so hopefully some of you guys will get notifications. Thanks for all the amazing reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter! Until next time guys, please review!
