12:01am

"I'm guessing an emancipation isn't going to happen anytime soon. Four years until I am eighteen and then I will truly be free" Piper spoke, resting her back on the leather headrest as she felt the warm air of the Los Angeles night swirling around the open top of the Corvette.

You won't ever be free little Miss Piper

Once you are of age, you'll have to choose

Choose between me or Him

"I went back to…my Mother and James's house to get my things, well, whatever that wasn't shit or full of holes with Maze" she added, catching Lucifer's smirk at the mentioning of the woman's name.

"I'm glad to see she has started to take you under her wing" he grinned, swerving into the left lane of traffic without a signal.

"I found a piece of police caution tape outside the front door and when I stepped inside, the living room was trashed. Like, holes in the wall, furniture destroyed and…blood" she spoke, setting her eyes on the man's profile as he tucked his stubbled chin into his chest.

"Do you know if he killed her?"

Hearing the young girl's question as he slowed down for a red stop light, Lucifer moistened his lips.

"He did not."

It was all he said as Piper formed another question.

"Do…you know what happened in that house?"

"Do you really care to know the answer?"

Watching Lucifer turning his head towards her, she caught something in his dark eyes as she felt pulled in.

"No. Not right now."

Nodding his head slightly as he returned his eyes onto the road, he gunned the Corvette through the intersection of Alameda and 16th.

I will never lie to you child.

Ask me for the truth as to what happened, and I will tell you.

"Do you prefer if I call you Lucifer? Or Mr. Morningstar for the length of time that I am staying with you?" Piper questioned as she caught his bemused smile.

"Well, what else would you call me? Certainly not 'Father" or 'Dad" he snipped, gripping the steering wheel leisurely with one hand.

You will never call me Father

Looking back out to her right side as she caught the permanently lit towering buildings making up the financial district, she blinked quickly as her eyes landed on the 611 Place skyscraper, the Pelli Tower, and the Aon Center before she thought of another question.

"What happens with school? You know…all that stuff that requires me to still attend until I am an adult" Piper questioned as Lucifer tapped his fingers along the wheel.

"Well now, that all depends on you Ms. Harlow" he replied as he turned down Hollywood Boulevard. Glancing to Piper's profile, he took in her chewing on the corner of her upper lip looking deep in thought before he cared to further explain his earlier words.

"Consequences. I give you a life free from parent and step-parent, emancipation without the paperwork. What you choose to do with this until you are eighteen, is entirely up to you" he added, slowing the Corvette down and rounding the corner of the alleyway before driving to the very end. Hearing the engine falling silent as she slowly opened her door, she reached around the seat and took up all her shopping bags as she really felt no joy from the expected high of having spent about a thousand dollars in less than two hours.

A thousand dollars of money that was not hers.

Stepping in through the side door of the LUX Nightclub that she had once been dragged into by the very three-piece suited man that walked at her side, Piper felt her lips spreading into a small grin as she thought of the irony.

Who would have thought Andrea?

I spray paint the side of a nightclub, and I am now living on the top floor

Moving through the back hallway of the club, she could hear the pounding beats of the music from the other side of the wall as they passed by Lucifer's office. Spying the door slightly ajar as lamp light spilled out into the hall, Piper caught sight of Maze and felt Lucifer's arm against hers as she ducked her head in.

"Late night Maze?" she snickered as the Demon looked up from the account books that were open in front of her.

Narrowing her dark eyes onto the pale face of the fourteen-year-old girl, Maze sniffed at the air as she took in the shopping bags. Ever since she had learned that the girl was to be a third resident upstairs in the Morningstar penthouse, she had felt a sense of jealousy.

"Yes Mazikeen, late night?" Lucifer bellowed as he moved past Piper, leaving her standing at the threshold as he rounded the corner of the desk before reaching down into a cupboard. Pulling out a bottle of Glenfiddich's 50-year-old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

"Nice" Maze purred as Piper felt the heft of her bags cutting into the skin of her fingers.

Watching Lucifer pouring himself a tumbler of the expensive liquid, he poured a second for Maze without asking. Twisting the cap back on the bottle, the Devil paused before pouring a third tumbler.

"Cheers" he smiled, holding out a tumbler towards Piper as she stared at his outstretched hand.

Consequences

Hearing Lucifer's voice in her head as she rested her bags on the floor, she stepped into the office feeling a slight chill as she reached out for the tumbler. Hearing Maze's chuckle as she took the glass in her inexperienced hand as Lucifer raised his glass in a silent toast.

"And…how much is this bottle of alcohol?" she questioned, not really expecting a serious answer as Lucifer tilted the bottle, staring at the silver label.

"Sixteen thousand?" he replied as Piper felt her jaw dropping.

What in the hell am I doing here?

"You sip it."

Hearing Maze's voice breaking through her thoughts as she took in the woman's instruction, Piper felt her cheeks flush as she took a small sip.

God, it smells awful.

Guess I don't have to worry about developing a drinking problem.

Stepping away from the door as she watched Maze rising to her feet after closing all the books on the table in front of her, Piper held the glass tumbler against her chest as the Demon gave her a sly smirk.

Why does she still scare the shit out of me?

"To touch on our earlier conversation, there are consequences to every action" Lucifer spoke as he took a seat on the edge of the desk, pushing aside the Club's accounting books into a single pile.

Like you accepting a deal with me

"Consequences of not going to school, means consequences of not getting a job that's more than scooping fries at McDonald's, means consequences of living in poverty" Piper muttered as Lucifer's excellent hearing heard her every word.

"I'm glad that you understand."

It was all he said as he finished the contents of his glass before he sat it aside, holding his fingers out for her own.

He knows I'll never finish it

Surrendering her glass as she watched with scrutinizing eyes Lucifer Morningstar downing her glass, she couldn't help but shake her head.

All part of his put-out persona?

The shady rich, expensive sin committing night club owner with a liver of steel and lungs to match she thought as she watched him take a stainless-steel lighter out from the inner pocket of his blazer and lighting a cigarette that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

And now, this man is my…

Saving Grace?

"I must bid you a good night Miss. Harlow for the witching hour is upon us, and my audience will be beckoning for my presence" the Devil smiled as he rose to his feet. Stepping over the office threshold, Lucifer gripped the door handle tightly as he watched the young girl gather up her bags.

"Your eyes have no business near my books."

Narrowing her eyes as she held her bags, Piper clicked her tongue against the inside of her cheek as she caught his dark eyes.

"I'm no child Lucifer Morningstar, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to me like I was one" she challenged, watching his lips pulling into a wide smile as he held his hand out for a business-like handshake.

"Enjoy your first night in the penthouse Miss. Harlow; I hope you are not too susceptible to noise."

1:06am

Tossing her bags onto the single bed, the young girl promptly marched over to the only window in her small all white painted room as she heard the late-night traffic still as heavy out on Holly Boulevard as it was at four that afternoon. Looking down into the alleyway, she could almost see a vision of herself curled up into a ball against the wall beneath her graffiti tagging.

"He's not coming…"

Shaking her head as she remembered the sound of his shoes approaching her, she couldn't help but shiver.

Truly, he had saved her life that night, and she wasn't going to mess up her time here. She would do as she was told, and she would keep out of the way.

Hearing the beats of a dance song coming from downstairs, she knew he was somewhere down there as was Maze, but she was curious to see just what exactly, his persona was when he was in attendance.

"I want you to tell me what you truly desire?"

Shutting her light off as she pulled her door halfway closed behind her, Piper moved down the hallway and rounded the corner, feeling a breeze from the open balcony doors at the far end of the living room. Pausing in her steps, she moved towards the doors and stepped along side the hot tub before letting her hands rest easily on the railing.

Staring up at the dark sky as she felt the night's warmth surrounding her, she looked down onto the long line of club goers that were poised to wait until the very end for a chance to get into the exclusive nightclub beneath her feet.

Hearing a throat clear from behind her, Piper quickly turned around and fixed her eyes on an unfamiliar petite blond-haired woman, with a police shield resting against her jeaned hip.

"Where is Lucifer Morningstar?"

In all her years, she had never been a fan of the police; Canadian or American, and she wasn't about to rub shoulders willingly in the penthouse with an Officer who had essentially broken in.

"I don't know."

Hearing the young girl's curt reply to her question, Detective Chloe Decker nodded her head as she took a step towards the balcony.

"And if I ask, how you got up here and into his penthouse, are you going to tell me?"

Feeling her lips twitching, Piper folded her hands together and offered a wide smile.

"Why, I live here Officer."

Eyeing the teenager with hard skepticism, Decker crossed her arms as she observed the girl's obvious distaste for law enforcement.

"I'm his niece" she lied, watching as Decker scoffed.

"If you had said, daughter, I would have bought that over niece with the number of women he has dated. However, Lucifer has never mentioned any siblings."

You seem to know more about Lucifer Morningstar than I do

Did you two used to date?

"His sister, is my Mother" Piper lied easily as she leaned against the railing.

"What is your name?"

She had thought to lie on her name, but instead, thought to tell the truth about one thing in case the Officer spoke to Lucifer before she could.

"Piper."

"I'm guessing Piper, you are not over the age of eighteen, and though I have a hard time thinking that Lucifer has allowed you into his penthouse knowing that you are…probably not much older than fifteen, I would like to see some identification."

Hearing the soft ding of the elevator doors, Piper felt her stomach muscles tightening as she watched the very man himself striding across the floor with two stick thin blondes on each arm.

"She's not a yappy little terrier Detective, she has no papers" he grinned as Decker narrowed her blue eyes onto the two women at his side before taking in his half-unbuttoned dress shirt.

"Well, it's nice to see that you are too busy to return my phone calls" Decker scolded as Piper felt the thick tension building in the penthouse air.

"Piper here says that she is your niece, the daughter of your sister?"

Moving his dark eyes onto the teenager's face, he knew of her contempt for anything police related and as he felt a set of soft manicured fingers moving over the exposed flesh of his chest, he smiled as if confirming her lie.

"Sara. Yes, rather a chip off the old block this one is. Even if she does not have quite as dark hair as the rest of the family" he spoke, wondering if any of his other siblings were privy to his conversation at the very moment.

Moving her eyes over the two thin women vying for Lucifer's attention, the young girl could make out the sight of hardened nipples on both as she felt the blush on her cheeks. Looking down to the one woman's high heels, she noticed the red painted expensive heel as she shed the shoe, taking off a good couple inches off her height.

Louboutin was it?

"Now if you don't mind Detective, Mollie and Ashley were about to show me a magic trick that requires three if you know what I mean" the Devil smiled as Decker shot her eyes to Piper.

"How long did you say you were staying here with him?"

"Um…."

"Until I get sick of her."

Or, until she chooses foolishly, to live in my Father's good graces

"Just remember to meet me at the prescient for ten, and not half in the bag smelling like Rum."

Watching the Police Officer moving past the nightclub owner without a further look or physical contact, Piper felt the awkwardness settling over the room as she heard the closing of the elevator doors.

"I'm sure if Saraqael actually had a decent sense of humor and not so dry, she would find it humorous at having a human child to call her own."

Lifting her eyes onto Lucifer's, she felt her eyebrow raising at the spoken name of his sister.

"You…have a sister named Saraqael?" she questioned as the man in question gave a slight nod.

"A very…androgynous sister, but yes."

So, Lucifer and Saraqael…

What's next?

You have a cousin named Thor?

"She's cute."

Hearing the hiccupped words from the other blonde that had refused to let go of Lucifer's left arm since they had appeared out of the elevator, Piper held her breath as she watched the woman stride up to her in the not so straightest of lines.

Smelling the god-awful stench of her too sweet strawberry perfume, Piper tried to take a step backwards as she felt the woman press her thumb and forefinger against her lips before lightly rubbing along the matte finish of the Dior rouge she had tried on hours earlier in the Sephora shop.

"I love your lipstick. Perhaps she could keep score for us all?"

Freezing in place as she threw her eyes up and onto Lucifer's face, Piper caught his slight scowl twitching along his upper lip as Ashley turned around with a wide flirty smile.

Watching Lucifer raising a single finger before gently wagging it back and forth as Mollie kissed the side of his throat, Piper held her breath as he opened his mouth to speak.

"Too young…too very young."

And that's my cue to leave

Moving around the giggling woman as she avoided eye contact with everyone else, the young girl made a beeline for her bedroom and winced as she heard the laughter of both women behind her back.

"I am not in fucking Kansas anymore Toto" Piper breathed as she slammed her bedroom door shut, stepping back against the edge of the single bed, she tried to steady her breathing as she walked to the window and stuck her head out. Breathing in deeply as she closed her eyes, she felt the first few raindrops against her nose and forehead as she opened her eyes to the sky.

"You want to be a grown-up? Be prepared to live in a grown-up world Piper Elizabeth Harlow."

3:01am

Rolling over to face the open bedroom window, the young teenager muttered something intangible as she unconsciously reached to pull the thin white bedsheet up to cover her naked shoulders.

I can smell the smoke

It's burning my throat

Clutching tightly at her blanket, the young child could see two sets of shoes in front of her from where she hid under the table.

No one will find me here

Momma told me that if I closed my eyes, no one could see me

But he sees me

And I see him…

Staring down at the sleeping fourteen-year-old laying still beneath the bedsheets, Amenadiel crossed his arms over his chest as he felt the feathers of his wings twitching from the slight evening breeze coming in from the window.

"Our Father loves you child, but he leaves your decision out of his hands" he spoke softly before turning towards the window.

"You will be protected Lola for the time being, but if you choose to follow my brother, our Father will make his displeasure known to you."

The Next Morning…

7:23am

Pulling the newly purchased white v-neck t-shirt over her head, Piper smoothed down the hem before pulling on a pair of black tights and slipping her bare feet into black ballet flats.

Standing straight as she gathered her hair up off her neck, she moved towards her bedroom door before turning back towards her open window. Feeling a shiver passing over her shoulders as she stared at the non-moving blinds, she felt a slight pull towards the window before a loud thump sounded from outside her door. Resting her hand on the doorknob, Piper listened for any movement before slowly pulling it open. Staring down at a large cardboard box, she stepped out into the hallway and read the hastily scribbled words in black marker.

Open Me Obviously

Flipping open the flaps of the box, her eyes took in two cans of black paint and a few heavy-duty brushes and rollers before she spotted a folded white piece of paper.

White means innocent, and you are not innocent - M

"Maze?"

Hearing the whisper falling from her lips as she dragged the box into her bedroom, Piper closed the door and walked slowly towards the open living room area, feeling the rumble of hunger in her stomach.

How awkward is breakfast going to be if his guests, are still here?

Rounding the corner of the hallway, she was half expecting to smell the lingering scent of cheap strawberry perfume and freshly pressed coffee and as she stepped up to the island, she saw and smelled nothing. Shifting her eyes towards the carved stone door less alcove that housed Lucifer's bedroom, she sat down lightly on a black stool and was just about to move out to the balcony when the ding of the elevator doors rang out.

"Amante de Jesus!"

"Demonio!"

Throwing her eyes onto the two women, she watched Maze spinning a small hunting knife around between her fingers.

How does she do that without stabbing herself?

"Good morning Piper, Mister Lucifer" Maggie smiled as she let the white laundry basket drop at her feet.

Moving her eyes as she watched Lucifer Morningstar taking a heavy seat on the other stool, Piper felt her cheeks getting red as Lucifer folded his hands behind his head. Noticing his messy black hair as she moved her eyes to the side of his neck, she noticed the smudged red lipstick kisses trailing down his naked chest, coming to rest against his naval and the top of his black silk sleeping shorts.

"Ugh,"

Wrapping her fingers around the hot cup of coffee that was placed before her, she watched as Maggie sat another cup of black steaming liquid down in front of Lucifer.

"You, look wrecked" Piper noted as Lucifer took a deep sip of his coffee.

Feeling her lips pulling into a smirk as Maggie came up to stand just behind his shoulder, she watched as the older woman slung a white dress shirt over his shoulder before tossing a left behind black lace bra into the stainless-steel trash can.

"Someone might come back for that" Lucifer yawned as Maggie crossed her arms over her chest.

"Never the same woman twice come here, put on a camisa" she scolded as the man rolled his eyes.

"Remind me again why I begged you to come back?" he gruffed as he reached for the dress shirt and pulled it around his shoulders before pushing his arms through.

"For el adolescente, and for yourself" Maggie scolded once more as Piper snickered.

"Laugh it up urchin. By the way, you are coming with me this morning to an appointment. If I can't figure out who you are or where I have met you before, Linda will" Lucifer added as he stood up and ignored his cup.

Focusing her eyes on his bare retreating back as she felt a shiver running over her shoulders, Piper felt Maggie's eyes and allowed her to take her cup.

"You use to work here before?" Piper questioned as Maggie nodded her head.

"For three years. Mister Lucifer and…Miss Maze" she added before throwing her eyes onto the other side of the room towards the hallway that always seemed to radiate a cool breeze.

Mulling the question over in her mind as she heard Maggie rinsing out her cup, Piper rose to her feet and leaned against the kitchenette counter.

"I'm from Canada so they teach French rather than Spanish. Can I ask what you and Maze were fighting about?"

"Just bickering. Why has Mister Lucifer brought you to stay here?" Maggie questioned as Piper tucked her chin into her chest.

"Because I have nowhere else to go."

"You said Canada, yet you are here in Los Angeles, why?"

"My Mother and Step-Father moved me here, but…I have no use for them anymore, just as they have no use for me."

It was all she said as she caught sight of Lucifer adjusting the cuffs of his black suit jacket while standing in the alcove of his bedroom.

"Right then, shall we?"

Doctor Linda Martin's Office, 178 – B N Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, California…

"Where are we going for this appointment?"

Hearing Piper's question as he pulled the Corvette over against the side of the curb on Santa Monica Boulevard, Lucifer adjusted his sunglasses before turning off the engine.

"To see a Therapist."

He wants me to see a Therapist?

Seriously?

"I don't need to speak with a Therapist" she spat, slamming her door as Lucifer rounded the hood of the Corvette.

"Well I do, and you are coming with me."

Walking slightly behind the towering well dressed man, Piper half jogged in the bid to keep up with the over six footed man as she watched him pull open the glass door. Stepping into a cool foyer dressed simply in pale grey and white, she walked across the marble floor towards a set of elevators.

"Why do you need to see a Therapist?"

Like I can't take a guess

Hearing the young girl's question as he walked with determined strides, the Devil grinned to himself as he thought of the most honest answer he could give her.

"Isn't the answer always to do with family?" he replied as Piper snorted.

"So, because you're a tall lanky rich British twit, you've having such a hard time dealing with all that? Oh, and the fact that your name is that of the Devil" she spat in a poor half assed Cockney accent as Lucifer let out a roar of laughter in amusement.

"Lanky?" he laughed as he stepped past her and into the stainless-steel elevator. Pressing the number for the fourth floor of the building, he focused his eyes onto Piper's reflection in the wall mirror, watching her leaning nervously against the side glass as she bit at her lower lip.

Does he pride himself on trying to model himself after the Devil? Brooding, arrogant, narcissist?

"I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm not really British" Lucifer smiled as he caught her eye.

"Really?"

"Nope. Picked it up in my…travels" he smirked, stepping out of the elevator and into the carpeted hallway.

Following Lucifer down the corridor as she smelled the light faint fragrance of roses, she looked at every closed door of the various offices before she bumped into Lucifer's back.

"We've arrived."

"Lucifer, I appreciate you making your appointment, but she is a minor and needs to have a parent or guardian present or at least, signed off on."

I am so sick of people treating me like a child.

Yeah I'm fourteen but, fuck…

"And if I told you that as of two days ago, she came into my possession?"

Hearing Lucifer's voice as she looked up to his profile, Piper stared at the five o'clock shadow running along the length of his sharp chin as she narrowed her eyes.

I guess, I do belong to him when you come to think of it she thought as she heard Lucifer's voice in her head.

"What do you get out of this?"

"Another soul on my side"

"She can't be your daughter…can you, even have children?" Linda Martin questioned as she turned her eyes and stared at Piper.

You?

"He is not my Dad. My Dad's dead. My Mother and Step-Father are not that far behind" Piper spat as she watched Linda moistening her glossy lips.

"I don't understand Lucifer. I can speak to you, but not to her. I do run an ethical practice" Linda added as Lucifer ushered Piper towards the beige sofa along the back wall.

"She is with me, and we are here together to find out where we have met before."

Watching Lucifer crossing his legs as Piper tucked herself up on the far end of the consulting sofa, Linda sighed before she walked to the closed door and threw the lock.

"I guess you are the person I would eventually have to answer to in breaking my ethics. Alright then, what is your name?" she questioned, taking a light seat in her chair before crossing her short legs.

"Piper."

"Ask her what her real name is" Lucifer interrupted as Linda rolled her eyes.

"I'm a Therapist Lucifer, not a mind reader" the Doctor groaned as she focused her eyes on Piper.

"Can I ask Piper why you are with Mr. Morningstar?"

"Because I have nowhere else to go."

"Do you think you two have met before?"

I think I would remember meeting a man such as Lucifer Morningstar

"Yes."

Wait, what?

"Now, we are getting somewhere" Lucifer smiled as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.

"I'm from Canada and have only been in Los Angeles for just over two weeks, how in the hell would I have met him?" Piper questioned loudly as Linda nodded her head.

"There is something we can try. It's non-invasive and I have used it with patients of all ages in my practice" she spoke as both Lucifer and Piper stared at her intently.

"Hypnosis."

Hearing Piper burst into laughter, both adults turned their eyes onto her face as she folded her legs beneath her on the sofa. "What, like you are getting sleppepppyyyy?" she mocked.

Chuckling to himself as he looked back to Linda, Lucifer held up his hands in a defensive mode.

"She's your patient Doctor, not mine."

Adjusting her posture as she re-crossed her legs, Linda set her jaw hard as she stared at the young teenager.

"I want you to close your eyes and clear your mind."

Really?

Closing her eyes as she settled back against the sofa, Piper sighed as she took in a deep breath, she at least felt a slight comfort in knowing that Lucifer was beside her.

"I want you to start counting backwards from thirty. Try and visualize each number as you slowly count."

Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight…

Breathing in and out as steady as she could, she slowly stretched her hands over to rest over her thighs as she continued to count down.

Was that smoke she smelt?

"Piper, can you tell me where you are right now?"

Moistening her lips as she heard Linda's voice speaking to her, the young girl kept her eyes closed as she felt her shoulders starting to sink in a relaxed, resting position.

"I…am home" she spoke calmly as Linda took a moment to listen to the ticking of the pendulum.

"Where is home?"

"Canada…"

"Yes, I know all this already."

Shooting an irritated look to Lucifer, Linda re-folded her hands and focused her attentions firmly on the teenager at hand.

"What do you see Piper?"

Catching the girl's lips twisting as she asked her question, Linda held up a hand towards Lucifer and asked her question again.

"I…see black shoes, walking towards me."

"Anyone could be wearing black shoes" Lucifer growled to himself as he stared at Piper's profile.

If this girl is nothing special and if I've only once tossed a handful of coins into her tip jar, she is back out on the streets

"What else do you see?"

Narrowing his eyes as he watched the teenager seated on the other side of the couch sniff the air slightly, Lucifer inched closer as he felt his Devil face burning through the fleshy façade of his human face.

"I smell fire, I smell, burning skin."

Moving his eyes onto Linda's face, Lucifer furrowed his brow as he watched her mouth slowly starting to open before his ears picked up a loud thump immediately to his left near the windows.

"Of all times Brother, you would choose now to slow down time" Lucifer spat as he allowed his Devil face to shine through.

"I'm surprised at you Luci, taking the child to a Therapist instead of talking to her, learning more about her on your own. Exercising patience" Amenadiel spoke as he crossed his arms over his broad robed chest.

"Don't you dare try and talk to me about patience. I have been the most patient fallen angel there ever was! You interrupting this little session means there is something dear old Dad does not want me to know about her."

Know about me?

No longer hearing Dr. Linda's voice as she felt her fingers starting to twitch, Piper moistened her lips as she slowly opened her eyes halfway.

"You don't have to be a fallen angel Luci, if you'd just accept our Father's love and follow…"

"I will follow jack shit from him."

Hearing Lucifer's growl, the young girl fully opened her eyes and stared straight ahead before moving her eyes onto Linda.

Why, is her mouth moving like that?

Fallen angels? Our Father?

"You don't have to be the Devil anymore Samael."

The Devil?

Flexing her fingers fully as she turned around slowly on the sofa to face the two men standing in front of the sunny windows, Piper felt her mouth falling open as she felt the back of her throat go instantly dry.

"No one, can do this better that I" Lucifer smiled as the burnt skin of his face electrified and pulsed.

"Luci…"

Watching his brother's mouth freezing in place as he slowly turned his head, Lucifer's red eyes focused hard on Piper's face as she sat as still as stone staring back with wide eyes.

Balling his fists up at his side, the elder angel quickly angled his body and released a single wing with lightening speed towards the seated teenager. Throwing a quick hand out as the sharpness of his brother's dark wing sliced widely open the palm of his right hand, Lucifer let out a deep growl before gritting his teeth with the unfamiliar feeling of pain, refusing the let go.

"My ability hasn't slowed her" Amenadiel whispered as he watched the blood drip freely from his brother's hand and onto the beige office carpet.

Pulling his wing back as Lucifer let out a howl and a string of curses, Amenadiel nodded his head towards Piper as she stared at him with wide eyes.

"We all will met again, very soon."

Feeling the sudden gust of wind against her face as she blinked clearly, Piper opened her eyes to see Lucifer standing directly in front of her, wrapping a white handkerchief around his hand as Linda looked around in confusion.

His face was not…human

"I…Lucifer! What the hell happened to your hand?"

Ignoring the Doctor's words as he stared straight down into Piper's eyes, she said not a word as he tucked the end of the fabric into the fold.

"I know, that you saw my Brother in all his winged glory."

Feeling the shiver running down her spine as she held her breath, Piper sat perfectly still as she felt the fabric of Lucifer's pant leg against her own.

"Your brother?"

Stay out of this Doctor

Pressing her back firmly into the sofa, Piper watched as the man in front of her blinked his dark eyes slowly.

"And I know, that you one hundred percent…"

"Saw me."
