Chapter Eleven
Lucifer pours Alexandra glass of scotch and looks at her with sadness in his eyes. She has not said a word since she woke up an hour ago after what happened with Pierce. Amenadiel walks out of the room with a calm face, placing a blanket over Alexandra as he walks by, and then sits next to her. She pulls the blanket around her, trying to hide and curl into a ball while sitting on the barstool.
"What happened after Jesus died?" Lucifer asks.
"The people of my town would not go near me when they heard what dad did and when some of the followers of Jesus came into town they would abuse me. Sometimes they would come into the house at night, trying to rape me, or even trying to set my house on fire. I left, but no one would help me when I passed through each town and I became independent by being a assassin for hire. I would only accept jobs that would kill the people that hurt people," Alexandra grumbles.
"How does Pierce play into this?" Amenadiel asks.
"He took care of me when I was hurt and we fell in love, or at least I think we did. When I learned the truth, I hurt him physically and emotionally," Alexandra says. "It does not matter anymore because I am not going to be running back to him. I hate being alone in a room with him."
"I am not going to let him near you when you are alone," Lucifer says firmly. Alexandra reaches over the bar, takes his hand in her hands, and gives him a smile.
"Luc, you are sweet, but I can handle him on my own," Alexandra says. The elevator doors open to let Chloe and Daniel in. "What?"
"We are here to work on our cases," Chloe says. Daniel puffs his chest out a little, trying to look tough for Alexandra, of whom raises a brow.
"Douche-canoe, outside and we can talk there," Alexandra says. She gets off the stool, drops the blanket, and strolls to the room to put some pants on. Lucifer follows her silently and pulls her into his arms once they are out of sight of their guests. They share a heated, passionate kiss with small moans of ecstasy. Lucifer pushes her against the wall, lifting her up to wrap her legs around his waist, and moves to kiss her neck.
"I will protect you today and until the day I die," Lucifer purrs. Alexandra claws his shoulders a little, biting her lip from screaming out, wanting more. "We will finish this later tonight."
"Promise?" Alexandra asks breathlessly.
"Of course, my love," Lucifer says with a smile. He put her down, kisses her forehead, and leaves to go with Chloe to work. Alexandra pulls on a pair of yoga pants, but keeps Lucifer's shirt on once she puts a sports bra on and leaves the shirt unbuttoned a little. She walks out to the balcony and smiles when she sees Daniel's mouth fall open a bit Amenadiel is taken aback at her attire and clears his throat to look away quickly.
"Let's get down to business," Alexandra says.
Pierce watches the doors of Lux in his car and waits for someone to come out. He holds his gun by his leg to keep from someone seeing it while walking by. The doors open, but it is only Maze and Amenadiel walking out. He smiles as he realises that means Alexandra is alone since those two left. Pierce makes his way quickly down the street to the club, sneaks in, locks the doors, and takes the elevator up. Alexandra is cleaning a few things from having Daniel and Amenadiel over while singing to the radio. She turns to see Pierce standing there and she screams.
"What the fuck?!" Alexandra exclaims.
"You are my one ticket to get to him and I am going to make him suffer like he made me suffer," Pierce says. Alexandra steps back slowly to her gun, but Pierce points it at her head and smiles. "Alex, I am going to win this."
"Piss off," Alexandra spits, throwing the items in her hands at him and then reaches to grab her gun. Just as she extends her arm, she is shot in the shoulder and she drops to her knees. She kicks the table up to toss at him and then scurries past the gun for her belt of knifes. Pierce sprints after her, only to end up falling to the floor to dodge the knifes, but takes shots at her blindly. Alexandra screams in pain when she is hit again in the arm along with her abdomen.
"I see you have gotten slow, Alex," Pierce chuckles as he crawls to the other side of the couch. Alexandra takes deep breathes to calm herself down and listens carefully.
"You asshole, I just healed there and I am going to kick your fucking ass for this shit!" Alexandra says. She moves to peek around the couch, but Pierce tackles her to pin her to the floor. "Cain, stop!"
"No, you are mine!" Pierce/Cain shouts. A shout echos around the condo and then Pierce is knocked off of Alexandra. She looks over to see Maze is fighting with Pierce while Amenadiel runs over to her. He tries to pick her up, but Maze is knocked back towards them.
"Get her out!" Maze growls. Pierce snags the knifes and throws it at Maze, but Alexandra jumps in the way. The knife hits her in the chest and the back when she spins around. Alexandra falls to her side, feeling the weight of the knifes, and watches Pierce run into the elevator.
"Alexandra," Amenadiel says with panic in his voice.
"Maze," Alexandra groans while Amenadiel removes the knifes.
"Here," Maze says softly. Alexandra takes her hand with a smile, but Maze has an angry look on her face.
"You must promise to take care of him," Alexandra says.
"No, he needs you and you cannot die because you are immortal," Maze says quickly. "We have to get her to a hospital now."
"I am not going to make it," Alexandra grumbles when Amenadiel picks her up. They manage to get to the club level, blooding making a trail out the door, Maze shouting the operator to get an ambulance there, but they run into Lucifer and Chloe outside.
"Alexandra!" Lucifer shouts. He takes her from his brother, tears forming in his eyes, looking her over from head to toe. "No, you cannot leave me!"
"Luc, do not cry," Alexandra says with a weak smile. Chloe tries to put pressure on the wounds while Maze tries to keep people away.
"Who did this?" Lucifer sobs. Alexandra looks at Maze and Amenadiel, silently telling them not to speak the truth.
"I am not sure," Alexandra lies. The sound of sirens echo around them and Alexandra lifts her hand to caress his face. "Lucifer, promise to behave as much as possible and do not stop caring about the people in this city. Love Chloe as much as you love me and do not forget me."
"No, you are not going to die," Lucifer sobs. Alexandra coughs a little as her eyes flutter closed. "No, wake up, love! Stay with me! Alexandra! Stay with me! No!"
