Previous Chapter:
Walking towards where they were coming from she sees a boy with his hands out where the orbs were coming from, " hello " she said making the boy turn around to face her and the lights disappearing.
Adult Lucifer eyes opened up watching, " it can't be possible...she can't be " he breathes unable to process what he was seeing, " Chloe? " he asks.
Chapter 20
Young Lucifer stood still looking at the little girl smiling at him, " where did you come from? " he asks nervously " hello " she says walking closer to him " hi " said young Lucifer looking back while she smiled.
" Play " she said holding out her tiny hand to Lucifer who only stared at her like she was crazy " your a strange one aren't you? " he asks continuing to look at her as she awaits for him to take her hand, " alright but just for a little bit " answers Lucifer taking her hand only to feel what can be described as a tingle.
Looking back at the girl young Lucifer felt something he never felt before, he wasn't sure what it was but it made the new feeling he currently had make him stare at the girl in fascination. " Who are you? " he asks before they started walking.
" Chloe...it's true then your a celestial " said Lucifer with a shocked expression " all this time you really didn't know " he added feeling an ache in his chest thinking of all the times they had together. Including how she was immune to him. Tears slid down his face unable to process what he's learning, looking up he continues to watch more of what was occurring.
A sudden breeze blew making Chloe get scared so quickly she grabbed onto Lucifers arm, for a moment Lucifer froze noticing she was frightened he got his wings out and shields her. Chloe's eyes open seeing the pure white wings, " it's okay it's only wind " he breathes calmly kneeling down beside her.
Not saying anything Lucifer watches as Chloe's little hands carefully touch his wings, each feather was soft to the touch. Unaware to Chloe the owner of the wings heart was slowly beating quickly, " why are you...I don't understand why I'm feeling like this? We just met, I don't get this? " asks Lucifer watching her continue to caress his wings, " beau-ti-ful " she pronounced smiling at him.
Lucifer slowly smiles hearing her little voice, " you are beautiful " he said unknown that his cheeks turned red, followed by Chloe giggling though it was possible she didn't understand.
Slapping a hand to his face " Oh dear " laughs adult Lucifer even with tears in his eyes he couldn't look away now, " am I certain that's me...I'm confessing to little Chloe who I just met...my goodness I couldn't have been this vulnerable as a child but then again whenever I'm with her I become vulnerable " said Lucifer now knowing how he became this way when they first met on earth.
When the breeze stopped both children looked up seeing the calm atmosphere once again, just then Chloe started to pull on Lucifers arm. " You want to go somewhere? " he asks seeing excitement on her face " okay then " allowing Chloe to lead the way.
Adult Lucifer ran after them to see where is it they were going it wasn't long til they reached a field of flowers that matched the same one that was on the bracelet. " This is extraordinary " he breathes admiring the field, " my guess Seraphim must of created these for her but not only the flowers but this entire oasis " thought Lucifer while walking on the field. As the time passed by Lucifer witnessed both children enjoy each others company from playing a couple rounds of tag, to hide and seek and Lucifer flying a few times with Chloe in his arms.
" Why would father have made me forget this? " Lucifer asks watching them sitting in the flowers noticing Chloe making something...
" What are you doing now? " asks young Lucifer not getting an answer from Chloe who only smiles and turns away " come on what are you doing? " teased Lucifer attempting to peak. Hearing a giggle Chloe stands up while hiding something behind her, " present " she says in a shy voice, " a present for me? " asks Lucifer only to get a nod as an answer.
Smiling Chloe shows him a bracelet with a flower " it's for me? " he asks looking at the item, " mmhmm " she replies carefully placing it in his hand. Looking at the gift he just received his heart skipped a beat. Bringing a hand up to her cheek Lucifer smiles, " I'll treasure it always " he replies " just like how I'll treasure you " he added only to see a glow surround her followed by Chloe hugging him which he returned.
" PURE ONE!!! " shouts voices making both Chloe and Lucifer look up " BACK AWAY FROM HER NOW!!! " said Libra as she lands close with Eve. Standing up young Lucifer expands his wings out, " do you know who I am " he said standing his ground " Samael how did you find this oasis? " asks Libra while Eve quickly picks up Chloe only to fuss in her guardians arms trying to reach for Lucifer.
Looking seriously at the celestial in front of him Lucifer expression becomes serious " I opened the wall and found this place " he answered eyeing Chloe who struggled to free herself from Eve, " who is she? " he asks staring at Chloe as her eyes filled with tears.
Libra blocked his view " we don't have to answer you leave now " replied Libra sounding upset " I won't go til I know who she is " said Lucifer getting mad " I warn you now...child or not I will force you out " explains Libra cracking her knuckles " Eve keep away with the pure one " she instructed only now to hear Chloe crying, " it's alright little one " whispers Eve attempting to calm the crying child in her arms. Getting into a fight like stance Lucifer prepared himself, " I'm not afraid " he replied.
" SAMAEL!!!!! " shouts someone from the sky " YOU DARE FIGHT WITH THE YOUNG SON OF GOD!!! "...
Libra jumped back as Amenadiel quickly lands between his brother and Libra, " back off Amenadiel I can handle it " said Lucifer getting upset seeing his older brother, " I'm not letting my little brother do something so foolish " replies Amenadiel keeping his eyes forward, " looks like I'll have the pleasure of forcing you both out " said Libra grabbing her pendant turning it to a sphere, " I'm not afraid " said Amenadiel preparing himself " stay behind me Samael " he added sounding fierce.
" ENOUGH!!!! " echoed a voice this time everyone stopped to see Seraphim in the air, " my lady " said both Eve and Libra watching her land, " mama " cried Chloe holding her arms out, " why is my child crying? " Seraphim asked rushing to them quickly.
" Forgive us but we lost Chloe...when we found her she was with Samael " explained Libra looking down at the ground. As soon as Seraphim was close Eve put Chloe down letting her go to Seraphim, " there there my child I'm here " said Seraphim wiping away Chloe's tears.
" Seraphim your alive? " said Amenadiel with a surprised expression, " father said you were no longer with us " said Lucifer as he and Amenadiel stood by. Looking back at the two Seraphim stood up " I'm alive but I had to leave so that I may have my child " she explained sounding sad " I'm sorry you both must go now never return or say anything to your father " added Seraphim before picking up Chloe holding her close.
" But...we just - " said Lucifer stepping closer " I beg you both go now and Samael you especially must forget ever meeting my daughter " replies Seraphim in a shaken voice pressing Chloe's forehead to her chin.
As Lucifer was about to walk closer Amenadiel quickly grabs his arm forcefully pulling him away, " let's go now we've been away far too long " explains Amenadiel before expanding his wings out, Lucifer did the same but he looked back at Chloe once more secretly hiding the gift in his pocket.
Waving goodbye both left the oasis Amenadiel flew in the front with Lucifer close behind him, for the first time tears were falling from his eyes knowing he couldn't see Chloe again...
Back in the tower
As Lucifer came back to reality he unfroze from where he stood along with taking a few breathes, " Lucifer are you alright? " Azrael asked trying to help her brother, " Luci...what's wrong? " Amenadiel asked concerned, " I saw it all how I first met Chloe...it was a happy moment but then it got sad and..." unable to finish his words the devil broke down into tears...
Elsewhere
Chloe woke up from her deep sleep sitting up quickly from the bed, trying to breath she looked around the room. The door opened quickly as both Eve and Libra quickly ran towards her, " Chloe are you alright? " asked Eve concerned.
Calming herself tears slid down her face " I saw myself and Lucifer as children...how we first met " said Chloe holding her head, " why weren't we allowed to be together? " she asks quietly.
" We're sorry pure one but there are answers that are best not to be told " explains Libra " tell me " said Chloe looking at both of them, " God blamed you for what you did to Samael " answers Eve with her eyes closed...
