Chapter Six
Lucifer holds Alexandra's hand as she sleeps in the bed and he watches the machine beep softly. His mind is not paying attention to the sounds around him or even the screen he is looking at, just on her breathing. There is a knock on the door and Lucifer turns to see Chloe, Daniel, and Ella standing in the doorway.
"How is she?" Chloe asks. The three of them walk into the room with some files and flowers.
"She has not woken up since we arrived here," Lucifer says softly. His eyes fall onto Alexandra's sleeping face and he has an urge to cry, even with barely knowing her but on week.
"The killer has been arrested, but he refuses to say anything to anyone bu Alexandra," Daniel says.
"Labs say that his DNA matches the ones left at the other crime scenes," Ella says.
"Can we not talk about that?" Lucifer asks.
"Luc, let the children talk, love," Alexandra grumbles. Her eyes open slowly and she smiles at Lucifer. "Hello there, darling."
"Welcome back to the living," Ella says. Alexandra laughs a little, but regrets it once the pain from her injuries radiates through her. "Sorry, bad time to make you laugh."
"It was a good one, Catholic," Alexandra grumbles. "What did I miss?"
"The killer has been arrested, but he is going to talk to anyone but you," Daniel repeats.
"Let Pierce have at him," Alexandra grumbles. She reaches up to take the cannula off her face, but Lucifer grabs her hands from getting it off. "Luc, let me get it off."
"I am sorry, love, but you need that right now," Lucifer says with a sad smile. Another knock on the door interrupts them and Pierce walks in with a wide smile. Lucifer gets to his feet when Pierce walks to the opposite side of the bed and gives Alexandra a kiss on the forehead.
"I heard you tried to get yourself killed," Pierce says softly. Alexandra smiles weakly as she takes his hand in hers to kiss the palm of it.
"You are too sweet, but I am being taken care of," Alexandra says. She releases Pierce's hand and looks over at Lucifer. "Lucifer has been watching over me since he got me here in one piece."
"I am sure he did a wonderful job, Alex," Pierce says with his eyes staring sternly at Lucifer.
"What is the connection between you and Pierce?" Ella blurts out. Alexandra looks at her with a raised brow.
"We dated a long time ago and almost got married," Alexandra coughs lightly. "Not surprised that he did not tell you."
"I think we should let her get some rest," Lucifer says, not wanting to hear more. Everyone agrees and tells Alexandra goodbye, but Alexandra grabs Lucifer's hand before he steps away from the bed.
"Stay please," Alexandra asks softly. "I hate to be alone while I am vulnerable."
"Darling, you are not acting like yourself," Lucifer says with a smile. He sits back on the edge of the bed and holds her hand in his. "Tell me, why are I drawn to you?"
"I have told you before, I am something you cannot have," Alexandra says with a smile. Her eyelids begin to droop a little, exhaustion setting in again.
"I am going to be here when you wake up, Alexandra," Lucifer says softly just moments before she falls back to sleep.
Maze walks off the elevator with Amenadiel at her side and they look around to see the living room is clean. No women naked on the floor or clothes anywhere thrown about.
"Lucifer?" Maze calls. Amenadiel walks to the balcony, but stops when he sees Alexandra walk out of the bedroom with an angry look on her face.
"Why are you shouting at this time of day?" Alexandra growls, throwing a shoe at Maze that she catches. "He is not here."
"Where is he? Did you hurt him?" Maze snaps. Amenadiel steps between the two women before a fight starts and he stares at the bandages peeking out between Lucifer's robes.
"What happened to you?" Amenadiel asks.
"He finally decided to try to kill you?" Maze asks with a smile.
"None of your business," Alexandra growls. She walks over to the couch slowly and lays down on it.
"Where is Lucifer?" Maze asks once more.
"Something about seeing Decker," Alexandra grumbles.
"She is like a female version of Lucifer," Amenadiel whispers to Maze. The elevator opens to let Lucifer in and he smiles widely at his guests.
"Luc, you have company," Alexandra groans. Lucifer walks over to her with a paper bag and a jug of water. "Take that shit away."
"Your doctor told you to take these," Lucifer says. He sits on the edge of the couch and caresses the side of her face. "How are you feeling today?"
"I was fine before those two barged shouting for you," Alexandra says.
"Why is she here?" Maze growls.
"He is taking care of her," Amenadiel says in shock. Alexandra hisses in pain when she moves onto her side. "What happened?"
"Our little human friend that claimed to be my child decided to try to kill our little Alexandra," Lucifer says. He reaches down to inspect her bandage, but Alexandra bats him away.
"If you do not stop, I will kick your ass," Alexandra growls.
"I would like to see you try," Lucifer chuckles.
"Lucifer!" Maze shouts. Alexandra shouts and throws the jug of water at her, hissing in pain the moment after she throws it.
"Shut up or get out!" Alexandra snaps. She gets to her feet, but Lucifer stops her when he sees her bandage filling with blood. He gathers her into his arms and takes her to lay in his bed. Amenadiel follows, hoping to be of assistance when he grabs the paper bag.
"Stop," Alexandra fights back weakly. Maze watches from the doorway with a glare on her face.
"Why is she still here in our lives? She is nothing but trouble," Maze growls.
"She needs help," Amenadiel says.
"She has friends that can help her," Maze says. Amenadiel rolls her onto her side to get the robe off her and he looks at her tattoos.
"She seems to be a bit religious," Amenadiel says. Maze grabs Amendiel's hand to stop him when she sees something familiar.
"Lucifer, look," Maze says. Lucifer looks to see that she has a mark on her back that resembles a tribute to Lucifer. "Her father was someone you tricked into going against your father. Judas."
