Lucifer

Chapter 14

"She is coming for you," the voice crooned in her ear. Lux leaped away from the empty space where the disembodied voice had just been. She slipped on the wet floor and tumbled backward. Pain radiated through her head as it contacted with the tile floor. She groaned as she sat up. That's when half of a deformed body, entered her line of vision. It slowly crawled toward her. This monstrosity was not the same as the one before. It did not have a dislocated jaw and was missing the entirety of its bottom half. She could see every flex of its muscles in one of its arms as it crawled forward with its long bony-charcoaled fingers. It's dragging torso left behind large flexes of the charred skin as it slid across the tile floor.

"She's coming for you." It repeated. "Run!"

The scream that escaped Lux's lips was silent. What was left of the creatures' charred appendages twisted around her ankle. Fear enveloped her. Scorching outward from her core and blooming down into her fingertips. She willed Lucifer to appear in the doorway or anyone who could help her, as her body grew stiffer with every struggled attempt. She made a valiant effort to escape the monster that drug itself further up her body, but eventually, she was unable to move a single muscle. She was now at the mercy of this creature

"She will devour you." It rasped, "She will steal away all that matters to you. All for him."

Before Lux could respond it jerked her forward as an unseen hand grabbed her from behind, securing her arms to her back.

"Your warning came too late, old woman."

Lux was yanked to her feet as a foot came out from behind and kicked the creature off of her. The distorted little creation dissolved on impact. Lux was quickly spun around and lifted onto her feet. The scream died in her throat as she saw two sets of her own eyes staring back at her. She could feel a searing pain climbing up her body as she struggled to free herself.

"Your times up, my dear," the woman said, in a voice identical to Lux's own. "Mael will have what he requires from you now and I have grown impatient with waiting."

At that moment, Lux knew that no one was coming to her rescue. That just as she had been forewarned, her time was up. Hands wound around her mouth, pulling her closer. The other one coiled around her abdomen the nails digging deep within the flesh of her stomach. Tears rimmed her eyes as she twisted and turned trying to free herself. Her arms still remained trapped against the other woman's body.

Lux tried to dig her nails into the woman the best she could but to no avail.

"Stupid Angel. I am a demon born in the pits of fire, you can not hurt me with those. You are weak, not an arch angel…you can not fend me off no matter how hard you try. You will be just as you always have pathetic and helpless. Without Lucifer you are nothing. I don't think even the Devil can stop us now."

Tears rolled down Lux's cheeks as she still tried to fight to free herself. She had to warn Lucifer that they have run out of time to stop Mael.

"But, don't worry. He will get to see all his old friends again. He won't even notice that you're gone."

The ding of the elevator broke her heart, as she could hear her love call her name. Her time was up, and she was sure she'd never get to see him again.

Jolting up, sweat dripped off her body, Lucifer's concerned gaze bore into her.

"Love, are you alright?" Lucifer brushed a lock of damp brown hair from her face. "You were screaming."

"You're back."

Arms were around his neck instantly, "I'm sorry I was so late Lux."

She pulled away and smiled at him slowly. "It's alright. You are here now."

Lucifer kissed her forehead, "I brought you your favorite Chinese food. You must be starving. While you eat you can tell me all about your nightmare."

"I don't really remember it." She said matter of factly, "As long as you are with me I have nothing to fear. Right?"

"Of course," he said with a soft smile as he watched her disappear into the hallway.

He slipped his phone from his pocket and dialed Maze on instinct, his eyes never left the doorway.

"I am a little busy, Lucifer." Maze almost sounded out of breath.

"Did you find him?"

Lucifer heard a thump on the other end of the line before Maze spoke again. "I am getting close, but every time I do the little bastard body jumps and goes into hiding."

Lucifer let out a soft growl of frustration.

"If you stopped calling so often I might be able to track him down faster."

"Just find him, Maze!" he tossed the phone onto the bed not caring to hear the demon's response. He followed his wife into the hallway. He watched as she wrinkled her nose at the Chinese food in front of her. She reluctantly plucked an egg-roll out of one of the containers and took a bite. When she noticed Lucifer watching her she smiled at him. She walked over, took him by the hand and led him to the couch. She curled up in his lap, snuggled up against him and breathed him in.

"Are you sure you're alright Lux?"

She nodded into his neck, "As long as I am with you Lucifer. I will be fine."

Mael frowned at the idea of how long that insufferable demon woman would have continued hunting him down? Eternity he expected. After all, he was 100% sure that she'd been doing so under his father's orders. Perhaps being in human form has made his father soft. Or maybe it's the human woman to blame for his newfound squishy core.

A smile curled around Mael's lips. How long would it be before his father realized that the demon had been overtaken? All Mael needed now was the soul to complete his mission. His gaze shifted down toward the squirming woman that lay helplessly bound at his feet.

"It's time for me to go see father soon." His fingers traced the woman's soft flesh gently, "Not to worry, he will be excited to see you."

"Are you ready?" Mael called glancing up from the woman.

"Yes, sir." Another monstrosity said dragging in his father's very battered little demon.

"What do you think, Maze? Will he be excited to see me?"

Maze spat at Mael, "He will gladly tear you apart for what you have done."

"Will he now?" his smile unnerving, "Are you quite sure?"

Maze cursed under her breath.
