Anyway heres Chapter 16 Enjoy
The next day Lucifer woke up to a normal day hoping to have a normal day like normal and checked his phone for anymore drunk texts or least a sober one. For once Selene hasn't texted him in the mornings like she normally would like clockwork, this was starting to worry him something might not be right, or possible chance she could be hurt or sick on a hangover. He texted Chloe that he was going to be late for work, then got himself dressed and ready to leave to follow his gut and just check in on her. He still had the spare key she entrusted to him even though he didn't need to use it, locked door's wasn't a challenge for him.
When he arrived at her place he made his way to the door, took a peak inside, he didn't see her at all untill he looked down and she was passed out not seemingly moving. This rang alarms into Lucifer's head as he hurried to get inside and to her side. He checked for a pulse with a relived sigh, she was still alive and not dead. He couldn't keep her laying there so he gently knelt down, picked her up, and carried her off to her room where she could sleep comfortably. He's seen her quite drunk before just not enough to ever find her passed out anywhere else, but the bed or couch.
He hoped she would wake up soon, so he got to work on making sure there was breakfest ready and waiting for her just how she likes it. Lucifer noticed how much was left in the bottle and compared it to the amount she drinks herself, this proves she went alittle beyond her limit by 4 shots. He always knew she enjoyed to party, and figured she just partied alittle hard by herself, there wasn't any foul play involved, so he got started preparing the kitchen up to cook.
Meanwhile, Selene was soundly sleeping, she started to stir feeling her head pounding and she felt something soft, she was in her bed. When she rolled out of bed she was dizzy and she remebered what happened last night, she hurried to her mirror to check her eyes, they wern't glowing anymore, her vision was fuzzy but she could tell what she looked like. When she herd a noise downstairs, she grabbed her bow and arrow from the closet, she wasn't going to let blurred vision get in the way of stopping a intruder in her house. She used her stealthy hunter skills to sneak her way down the steps being quiet preparing to shoot.
She peaked around her kitchen, there was somone in her kitchen she couldn't make out, so she pulled back on her small tipped arrow, aimed at here target, and released it, she hid around the corner when she herd the cry of pain,"Gah! Bloody hell!" Selene immediatly reconized the voice,"Lucifer?" she asked and rubbed her eyes hoping the blurriness would go away,"Really, darling, you had to go and shoot me with a arrow no less." he said pulling the arrow out of his but, "I'm sooo sorry Luce, I had no idea it was you, I must have hit my head my vision is blurred if I had known it was you I wouldn't have shot you."
Lucifer was impressed she could even shoot with poor vision," You could have shot me anywhere else but my bum. Your lucky I came to checked on you, I found you passed out on the floor and moved you to your bed and figured to make you breakfest," he sighed as he got back his smartass addidude,"I didn't expect to get shot by my own girlfriend, First the detective shoots me in the leg now you shot me in the bum." Selene sighed feeling guilty and went into the kitchen,"I'm really sorry about that are you alright?" He scoffed,"I'l live darling, a measily arrow can't kill the devil." he said finishing up breakfest.
He started up her Kurige and a fresh cup of coffee was waiting for her, Selene walked up and took her arrow back and put her bow down, She looked and felt like a complete mess as she was being quite sluggish now,"Thank you for making me breakfest." she pulled out her creamer and missed pouring it in the cup she cussed under her breath and cleaned it up," It's no troubble at all, I was hoping to make it a surpise for you." Selene smiled as he put breakfest on a plate for her," Your too good for me. I feel like I don't deserve you most of the time."
"That's obserd of course you deserve me, love, you deserve to be treated like the way you should be treated, not like some of the poor sods that don't know how to propperly take care of their woman." He said as the words hit her she took a sip of her coffee she tried to clear her vision up with some tears and pretended to yawn,"Least I can admit I have one hell of a hangover, I don't know what was added to some weed I got, but I was tripping for sure,or...dreaming I don't know which last night was kinda blur...like my vision was it just finally cleared up." she sighed and went over to the plate of food he cooked and dug right in.
"So what are you doing drinking past your limit? Is there something that been bothering you?" he asked looking at her as Selene shook her head,"No, no, it was a typical normal movie night, so I was in the mood to drink alittle more then I normally do," she wasn't lying she really did want to have a night to go past her limitation, "I'm sorry if I worried you with any texts, but I'm perfectly fine now and I do appreciate everything you do for me, really." she smiled and started to eat she was always aware of he littelest details Lucifer dose for her over the last 8 months.
"You better get going off to work Luce, I'll come over later and make things up to you for shooting you in the ass I promise." He grinned once he caught on,"Oh, really now? Well then if your offering, I wouldn't mind my bum really hurts." he playfully whined about his but hurting holding the side that was shot. Selene sighed and rolled her eyes she knew she was going to regret it or love it she knew his tones very well he has sex on the brain, this only fueled her guilt she had to figure out if what she thinks might have been a halucination.
She couldn't say a word untill she knew what it takes to make her eyes glow again, but she was thankful they wern't right now or she would breakdown and she wouldn't know how Lucifer would react to it."Well then,I should get going, I'll text you later." He smiled and gave her a kiss and left, he knew he had to rush home and change his pants. Selene finished eating breakfest and her coffee then felt like getting a shower, so she locked the house back up, went upstairs and got her stuff ready, thinking a nice hot shower will make her feel better and forget everything. She lit up a ciggerete to smoke and fully wake up with her first ciggerete.
She was gonna stay sober and cut herself off after 3 drinks if she even has a drink at all, she will have to remeber to take a soda bottle with her just incase. Once she finished her ciggerete while checking out what was on TV in the mean time Selene went for a nice relaxing hot shower, she needed to feel much better then she was right now so she could function and get to doing her chores. As she was in the shower she tried to meditate while letting her shampoo and secret mixture sit in her hair, she washed up the rest of herself in the meantime, she tried to think clearly as she relaxed letting the hot water sooth her.
10 minutes into her hot shower Selene was feeling at peace with herself, she finished rising her hair off as well as brushing it out. She always took good care of herself, being aware of her drinking habbits, works hard to keep her place clean, and keeping up with the work at the bar even making time for Lucifer. She came to terms with the idea she was just stressed out lately enough to trigger illusions she also prayed for no more flare ups if it was real untill she has things under control.
Later that day Selene got a text while she was tending to her horses, it was from Lucifer she took a look at her phone with a weird look it was a strange message but she didn't know what it means:
LM: Are you feeling better today darling? If so I have something important to tell you I'm going to need your help on this Prophacy business I'll talk to you about tonight.
SH: Yes, I feel much better. Wait there's a Prophacy?
LM: I'll explain everything to you later darling, I'll even pick you up after work so you don't have to drive.
SH: Oh, Alright sure we can discuss the whole prophacy thing just tell me is this a good one or a bad one?
LM: I'm not sure.
SH: Let me know when your on your way I'll leave the door unlocked.
Selene wondered if she should dress up, but she really didn't feel like changing out of her tanktop and plaid short seleeve button up shirt, long skinny jeans and boots, since she already moved some clothes to Lucifer's. She wasn't sure if she would be staying with Lucifer tonight pending on what she finds out about the prophacy is about, this fuled concern with herself she can't even tell what's real anymore, confused emotions flowed through her senses she wondered if this will strain her relationship with Lucifer. She looked up at the sky and spoke to god.
"Ya know, I don't know what your stupid plan is with this whole mess I'm living with myself right now. I know one thing, if somehow this prophacy is real or fake, and Lucifer ends up hurt in all this, I won't forgive you, just leave us be and let us live our lives no interfearence under any circumstance. Unless you rather come down here posess a body and talk things out, you know where to find us if you care for a chat." she sounded cold having venom in her tone. She let out a sigh as she tried to think of ways to make herself forget about everything, or see if it all really was in her head, by figuring out how to acitvate it.
She had plenty of time to stand in a mirror and figure out what would trigger her eyes to glow, yet nothing happened she did everything to try and convince herself that it was just a hallucination, she sighed and took it to face value that it was all in her head she felt stupid to even think otherwise. She felt much better about herself Selene made herself a hot toddy while she waited for Lucifer to pick her up. Still, the confused emotions cloud her core, she wished things were simpler when she thought everything was a metaphor that came out of Lucifer's mouth. It was the whole reason she fell completly in love with him and his good looks and generocity, that and by not having sex she finds him to be good company to be around, now that she has had sex with him her feelings never changed.
About 6 pm Lucifer pulled up to her house, went up to the door herd her piano and her singing but didn't quite reconize the song, he peeked though the window seeing her playing on the keyboard. He went inside since she did tell him the door was gonna be unlocked, she ended up messing up the song she was playing and she stopped with a sigh,"Can't beleive I screwed up the notes I'm really loosing my edge with piano guitar's are so much better." she didn't realize Lucifer was there,"Well now I wouldn't say that more so equal." Selene was startled not realizing he was there. She let out a bigger sigh,"hello, Lucifer." she smiled she was happy to see him, she had alittle more energy to her.
"Well, don't stop playing on my account, but I do need your full attention." he said with a tone that made her think something was wrong,"Please by all means Luce, you can sit I don't bite, so is this about a prophacy?" Lucifer ended up telling her the whole prophacy and she looked down "Well, ok the first part is the truth cause your right here on earth well been here multiple times, first love well that part is really on who you concider to be your first love, the evil shall be released part...ok that can mean anything I don't think nessasary it's a bad thing that will happen, as for the last part...I can't really say about the light of the moon. Is there a celestial thats gone by that name? or is it a object?" Lucifer had to really think about it," I'm about as confused with the last part myself, its not a object thats for sure," he sighed,"Well there is a celestial that dose go by such a name, but shes been dead from what Amenadiel told me while I had to change my pants earlier."
Selene recalled the thought of shooting him with her arrow," I still feel bad about that." she got up to grab him a drink,"But he did mention while he was over that our sister Remiel came to visit, and mentioned that theres a mortal on this earth with celestial abilities." Selene nearly froze mid pour as she kept her composure. "Really? A mortal with powers of a celestial?" she didn't miss a beat in her tone and brought him over a drink,"Is that a bad thing? you think your dad might have tried a new experiment with us humans? I mean sure I don't think its really a bad thing...well if he's ever seen Xmen he might need to rethink on that idea."
She was feeling the alarms running though her head now with that joke,"So what do you intend on doing if you end up finding them?" she asked looking at him, reading him,"Well, the prophacy might be able to stop if i just stay away from them, its not really saying much about specifics, then again they never do." He took the drink from her and sipped on it," Most of theses prophacies are just gobbelygook but unfortunetly, this one turns out to be true, and very real." he wasn't happy about it, Selene put her hand on him,"Don't be so down Luce, we will figure this out I can keep a look out, surely someone has got to be acting suspicious. The problem is if the person who has the powers hopefully better know how to control it by now or least managable. Cause it would be bad to fight a Jean grey, if they can't control the powers they have."
Then something clicked in her head,Light of the moon possibly hinting the powers given to a human,"You may have a point there, I do sopose that could be a problem, I mean my brother is a winged but yet-still-mortal angel, but dad putting celestial powers to a normal human mortal, I can see alot of things goin wrong there." he said sipping on his drink,"The light of the moon...what if the prohacy and the human with celestial powers happens to be the one as part of the prophacy, I mean I totally would hate to be in their shoes having powers like that, I would freak out nd have a massive panic attack," she said to him
"I love being a mortal and not having any powers, not that I haven't had any dreams of me having powers before, but I much rather like to enjoy my happiness now then angry, upset, and feeling completly alone, I would never want to be alone, cause I might kill myself with alcohal. I'm happy with my now semi normal life with the knowlage that I know, I don't need to be cursed again." she was staring at the keyboard infront of her."And I won't let you do that to yourself, I don't want to see another friend go and leave me for dad." he got serious with her and she nodded understanding.
She realized how long they have been talking,"I should go get my bag if we are to go to your place." Lucifer stopped her from getting up,"I changed my mind actually love, I would love to spend the night with you here, instead, I don't want any interuptions,and dinner will be delivered here soon, Selene was feeling incredably nervous now but she didn't let it show just masked it,"You know what I think I like that better, No interuptions." She silenced her cellphone and Lucifer smiled,"I would like it if you played the piano for me, I want my own personel concert to know just exactly how you feel." Selene wanted to protest the request but her fingers betrayed her and began playing then started to sing.
There is no upper hand
I'm giving you mine
It doesn't have to end up wasting your time
There's things that I could say
But hear it my way
I want to let you know that it's all okay
I like your smile
But even introductions need to last awhile
Sometimes I don't know if I'm right or wrong
And in the end it seems like everything is worse when you're gone
There is no upper hand
I'm giving you mine
It doesn't have to end up wasting your time
There's things that I could say
But hear it my way
I want to let you know that it's all okay
She smiled looking at him, as she sang for him a medley of songs on just how she felt without missing a beat. Lucifer enjoyed every bit of her playing just for him, she wondered if this is what he had in mind as to their deal over shooting his ass with a arrow, she wonder what the mice in his head were doing, as a feeling of this ain't over yet feeling shivered up her spine. He had that innocent predatory grin, enjoying her voice singing just for him, he enjoyed eveything, even sneaking up on her and gently sing some of the songs he knew, she got all flustered while singing true colors along with him. Selene stopped playing when he put a hand on her's," You certiantly take my breath away, Long as I'm with you I might as well say I'm safe from the prophacy."
Selene felt her heart twist in pain, she didn't really know how to feel but she felt at peace with Lucifer close to her, but he could also smell the desire from her, she sucked in a breath and looked at him,"What if I was the human with celestial powers? not saying I do, but it's a 'what if' question not a serious question," Lucifer hummed at the thought,"Well, I sopose I would end up having to stay away from you, but I can't see myself doing that, not after everything we have been though, I'd miss you too much, that and since you openely admit to taking your life you would be getting a one way ticket to hell, and that I just can't allow. Your too good for hell, and I much rather not let dad have you." he said soft but serious.
"So if I did you and Amenadiel would like help me though it?" she asked curious,"Yes, we would also find a way to remove it from you if that happens to be the case, but we would not be able to see each other, we don't exactly know whay the 'evil shall be released' part of the prophacy means." She was more nervous then ever inside every nerve tremebled in distress of Lucifer's answers, just in time for the door bell to ring, Lucifer got up and opened the door while Selene was zoned out. Lucifer took the order and tipped the delivery man, and closed the door walking back over to Selene and noticed shes zoned out.
"Are you ill?" She snapped out of it,"Oh, no, no I'm fine I guess with this whole prophacy issue, I'm pritty much a suspect I just hope I'm not the lucky one that is part of the prophacy, I would much perfer a peaceful life, nothing extreamly crazy happening to me..but your dad probbably has other plans to have set in motion. last thing I want to do is hurt anyone phycially or emotionally." she sighed as he handed her food she took and turned on something action filled and entertaining.
Lucifer sighed,"I know you wouldn't do so, but you have hurt me physically you still owe me, but you are right you could be a suspect in this business, I'm not sure what dear old dad has in mind for this, so far I'm not liking it." He said sitting down and digging in to his dinner, as Selene tore though hers.
"I guess only time will tell us if things will be a good or bad thing, I'll be sure to keep a eye out when I'm working."she said after swallowing some of her dinner, she zoned herself into the movie, having a mental freak out.
(Selene's thoughts POV)
I knew it! there is going to be a chance he might break up with me! Please no freaky business tonight! I want us to last just alittle longer. or least when I'm not arround Lucifer and I'm here alone at my place preferably...ok I need to calm down before I completly do a 180 in my additude, I just need to breath and think of something else, yeah...yeah something else, err the movie I must focus on the movie and eating before I say something stupid.
(Selene's thoughts POV ends)
Selene was completly relaxed in her seat enjoying dinner, staring at the TV, they both were silent and eating till they had it almost gone, Selene lit up a blunt she had rolled earlier and Lucifer ended up stealing it off her to smoke, she smiled and stole it back after his hits. She filled up their glasses with whiskey enjoying a peaceful night together, untill she uses the bathroom, her eyes glowed once she looked in the mirror. She wanted to freak out but she knew if she did Lucifer would hear her and come running, so she tried to not scream while looking so shocked and terrified, when she looked down at her hands there was black lightning surounding her hands.
Now wasn't the time to panic as she drew a immediate logical conclusion its not real, but all in her head because of head trama can have some alarming symtoms that develop pritty late after recovery. She couldn't let her anxiety get the best of her, she needed to stay calm and go back to Lucifer and tend to him like she promised. She began to think positive thoughts to calm herself down, it wasn't long after she used an flushed the toilet she had calmed down as did the glowing eyes and sparking hands.
Selene breathed a sigh of relief and washed up quick and fixed herself up, and walked back to Lucifer grabbing pack of rollies mixed with weed she had rolled herself, not like she can't just buy a pack of smokes, but she likes to mix some tobacco and weed and make cigs so she can get high still get high and a nicotine buzz all in one. She walked back down the steps feeling much more relaxed.
"Took you long enough darling." She smiled looking at him over the stair railing,"I had to grab myself some more weed so we can enjoy a night of relaxing and fun since I owe you, why don't you come on up here and strip." He wasted no time to that request," I thought you never ask." he grinned and made his way on up and she giggled following him to her room watching him strip.
(Selene's Thoughts POV)
If this keeps happening to me I'm gonna need to see both Linda and Amenadiel, but I hate to bug them both Linda is due to pop any week now. I can't put her under some more stress then she already is with having a half angel child, Maze would most likely kill me because she will think I'm out to hurt Lucifer, I can't go to Chloe cause shes gonna think I'm some supernatural threat and let alone she will tell Lucifer I am the one behind the prophacy!...*sighs* my life has really gone to hell...slowly but litterally.
Ya know what God? Screw you for your the one to blame for this problem!
(Selene's thoughts POV end)
Selene grinned watching Lucifer strip as she did as well, soon as her button up came undone Lucifer took noticed to seeing she was wearing a front clip black lace bra, as she slid it off her shoulders. Lucifer enjoyed the sight of her as she worked on taking her pants off, she was mighty risky with underwear of choice, sexy laced black bootie panties were exposed as she wiggled out of her tight jeans. Lucifer was aroused at the sight of her body,to him she was perfect head to toe with beauty, his pants dropped as he wasn't wearing anything as his boner sprang up free.
He had come to realize that she has been at the top of his most favorite lovers he has ever had on Earth, one who had peaked his curiocity in so many ways when they met, and even now he has been shown love and acceptance, that was just a shell of his true desire, but she figured out his deepest desire with of her theroy of him wanting to be human. She smiled as she pointed to her baggy full of ground up weed and her pipe at her desk next to her tobacco and tubes and the roller," Care to get high some more before I give you a nice massage?" she walked over to pack her bowl with some of the weed she had and walked over to her bed and sat down.
She lit up hoping to be able to relax passing the pipe to Lucifer, he took it and lit it to take a nice big hit before passing it back, Lucifer had completly dropped his guard knowing he can around her, he was willing to be vulnerable at this point as Selene smiled at him taking her hit she pulled him into a kiss while blowing the smoke into his mouth. he gladly inhaled the smoke she blew into his mouth, his hand travled up her leg with a feathery touch, he broke the kiss to blow it out before kissing her some more, tasting the whiskey on her tongue."Mmm,I can get high off you any day,love." he purred in a husky seductive tone making her grin she had to ask him, "Ever had a shot gun? And no I don't mean a gun gun."
He thought about it for a few and shook his head,"Ok I'll light the one end of this where the weed is obviously and take a hit then put my mouth on the weed end and blow the smoke out the other side and you just take in as much as you can." he nodded as she demonstrated just what she was going to do, he got close enough to get the full shot of smoke. He stole the pipe from her and took a straight hit after blowing out the smoke she blew at him, he was enjoying this trick she showed him, "I think I'm ready for that massage now darling." he rolled over and grabbed a pillow to rest his head on. Selene put down the pipe feeling pritty good herself she got started on his neck and down his back with a nice amount of pressure to gain a moan from Lucifer.
Selene knew all the right places too well, she even rubbed where the arrow hit him, she stil felt really bad for shooting him, she was sure enough she was gonna go to hell for this. She continued working him getting in between the joints, he was nicely relaxed it almost felt like heaven, but much better then that. Selene smiled as she worked on his muscles humming a tune that was in her head for awhile he even found her humming quite relaxing. While Selene was giving Lucifer a massage her hands sparked again over where his wings were and Lucifer felt a tingling sensation that made him pick his head up in confusion," Something wrong Luce?" she asked confused he then shook his head,"I just felt something weird thats all...your running your hands where Maze had cut off my wings when I first came here, I sopose even with the scars no longer there and my wings back it is still a sensitive area."
Selene moved her hands away from the area,"Oh, sorry I sopose thoese hell forged blades can still leave a lasting affect even after healing the pain is still gonna be there." Her hand stopped sparking when it moved, this time her gut was telling her this isnt a halucination, " So, why don't you tell me about the one thats called the light of the moon what were they like when they were alive? was it one of your siblings? If I'm going to help you find out who carries the power I should least understand what were looking for." Lucifer put his head on his folded arms and hummed thinking.
"She wasn't a sibling but a Goddess, she was arround before Angels were created, when the universe was made. You could say that your historial mythology on Gods and Goddeses were not exactly far off by looks and appearence, besides them having siblings. The Light of the moon was actually not really a angel, though pending on her form she did have angel like wings but she was mostly seen with fairy wings and would appear about a hight of a garden gnome," Selene tried to picture the lunar goddess as she listened to him talk about her," The one thing is that she had become rather fond of the names she had been called over time, but her real name was Asariel."
Selene nodded as she continued to massage him,"So I take it she died during the rebellion?" Lucifer nodded,"Yes, by the very same arrogantly stuck up brother of mine that did Dad's dirty work of kicking me out of heaven...delivered the fatal blow to her, she was all for the free will and had supported me but stayed neutral in the war, she has the power of the darkness and shadows, due to her being the one who rules the night. Although she was mostly a healer, she can travel though the shadows, and put up a pritty good fight, but shes only a better fighter if it was night time."
Selene could hear the hatred in his voice talking about Michael, as she pictured all the things Asariel could do regarding the shadows, Selene had studied mythology back in high school, "I take it she enjoyed her role as a Goddess then?" She asked him working on his lower back as Lucifer groaned when she pushed down along his spine. "Oh yes she took her role quite seriously, especially when it came to helping out the humans with their childbirth. She often visited Eden just to see the first humans ever created, as you know there are specises of flowers that blooms only at night so she would help make thoes flowers bloom as well." Selene listend with awe imagine Asariel doing such a thing as her mind almost went towards imagine her like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan having her own kind of pixie moon dust magic making the flowers bloom.
"Fasinating..." Selene said as Lucifer could tell she was having some crazy imagination from the infortmation he had told her. Selene then finished giving him a massage and let him up." Mmmm that feels so much better darling, you are good at what you do,I've had plenty of mesuses, but none with strong hands of a rancher." Selene chuckled,"Well the years of gardening and carrying haybales will do that." She pulled out a mason jar filled with moonshine,opened it up and took a sip of it before handing it off to Lucifer. He smiled and had some of it and reminised his visit to her family's little distillery her grandmother showed him while Selene was having time with her brother.
Selene was taking her time processing the information Lucifer has provided her, she was quite fasinated by it and also saddened that she had perished. Now the Goddess's power was here on Earth, most likely in her posession. This made Selene worry she was chosen to hold the Lunar Goddess power, whats gonna happen to her if she dies? Is she gonna be stuck taking Asariel's place? Selene had alot of self doubting questions if she could handle such a job, let alone what is happening to her now, how was she gonna explain the crazy things to her family? Her anxiety was taking over her mind with negative aspects that her mortal life is ruiened forever.
The rest of the night Selene and Lucifer relaxed in her bed getting high, drinking, cuddling and watching a movie ending their night with bedtime sex.
