Chapter 26

Silver City

Quietly flying back to where his siblings were waiting Lucifer held up the shard he found, " you little one are going to help me figure out where you came from " he said smiling " along with who you belong to " he adds gripping it tightly before seeing a familiar balcony with it's doors wide open. Taking a breath he walks recognizing the surroundings before him.

" Why did I return here? " he asks looking around to see his room, everything in its place as though he had never left. Walking over to his desk where piles of books, scrolls and even quils were scattered. A smile slowly formed as he recalls all the days when he had to listen to lessons then sneaking out of them.

His father would always get furious with him whenever he did that but then he would make up for it by spending an entire day doing them. Looking among everything he treasured something caught is attention removing what blocked it from his view.

Staring in disbelief he found a drawing done by his own hands from what must of been ions ago...

Sketched on the papers surface was a girl smiling along with holding her hand out, upon closer expection Lucifer couldn't help but chuckle a bit, " Chloe " he breathed realizing it was from the memory he saw.

Quickly taking out the bracelet from his pocket briefly staring at it before holding up to his chest, " no matter what I will find you " he whispers but then realization came knowing that Chloe will eventually see his real self.

The side he'd been telling her since they first met, is it possible she's been told the truth about him? Will she still love him as he is or will she be frightened by his other side?

Enhaling deeply he once again covers the image, Lucifer went back out to the balcony then flew off to join his siblings.

Else Where

Chloe felt uncomfortable to the silence as they walked, Cherubim and Libra led the way while Eve walked behind her. " Where are we going? " asked Chloe trying to make the silence stop " Pure one forgive us for not telling you the whole truth " replies Libra turning her head to look at Chloe.

" We have reasons to why we waited to tell you about Seraphim...mostly because- " Cherubim stops speaking momentarily " its difficult to say " he said continuing to walk, " I don't understand...where is she? " asked Chloe before getting the attention of the stone path that was in the dream.

Eve looks at Chloe " you've seen this path before haven't you? " asked Eve " yes its always in the dream I had but it's also where I heard this voice " answered Chloe walking past Libra and Cherubim who watch in silence " her voice " she adds looking at the surroundings before continuing.

" Wait Chloe before we go on there's something you must know " explains Libra catching up to Chloe who turned to look back at the three, " when you were given up Seraphim suffered greatly " breathed Libra as her eyes filled with tears.

Eve stood next to Libra to continue " She argued fiercely with God telling him that he dared take away what meant her entire existence and that he should leave fate alone let his children decide for themselves " she breathed " but no matter how hard she tried reasoning it wasn't enough, then he threatened to destroy the oasis along with everyone " said Eve her voice quivering from the memory " even when she pleaded to take her life in exchange...sadly Seraphim made the hardest decision she could of done and nothing could have ever been the same " explained Eve as tears streamed down her eyes.

Unaware to Chloe tears ran down the sides of her face. " That's just terrible " breathed Chloe " but what happened to Seraphim? " she asks as once again silence took over.

Taking a steady breath Libra continued walking gesturing Chloe to follow her " after that dreadful day Seraphim changed over night everything felt lost and her life was slowly drifting away " Libra explains as they all walked to an area where fallen pillars were scattered around.

Chloe's eyes looked around the new area no doubt this is what the thick fog in her dream hid but the path was clear as the day. " God was a coward to have threaten us all so that his son would be the next ruler of the silver city " explained Cherubim in an upset tone of voice making Chloe's eyes open up.

Libra frowned hearing him " but instead Samael rebelled and his own father made him the ruler of hell " he said shaking her head " ENOUGH!!!! " shouts Libra nearly making the ground shake, " contain yourself you fool have you forgotten who's in our prescense " she adds as Cherubim slowly turns towards Chloe who was surprised by his behaviour.

Expressing an apologetic expression and speaking softly, " please forgive me for my behaviour Chloe " he explains keeping his gaze on her " it's alright I understand you've been holding to your emotions for a long time " breathed Chloe " but enough hiding tell me the truth now " she ordered before looking at everyone with an impatient look.

Eve stepped forward " unable to bare the decision that changed everything Seraphim punished herself " she explains " punished herself? how? " breathed Chloe while feeling her chest ache and her breath become shallow, " I'll take you " answers Eve expanding her wings then lifts Chloe into her arms " both of you stay here please " she adds looking at Cherubim and Libra who were too emotional.

It was a short flight but when they arrived Chloe gasped seeing the thick fog, " this is..." she begun " yes but who's hidden inside that fog only breaks our heart along with feeling more emotions " explains Eve while landing Chloe only saw the path and a couple steps, " is that why you told them to stay behind? " asks Chloe only getting a nod as an answer.

Breathing steadily Chloe walked up carefully but as she did the fog pulled away clearing out as she took more steps, " what's happening? " she asks watching the it get clear " it's your gift " replies Eve standing next to Chloe, " this fog isn't average it's made of all your mothers emotions of that day but with you here it's clearing away " she explains watching it all disappear.

Once it was half gone a figure came into view making Chloe freeze along with her eyes opening, " oh god...no it can't " cried Chloe rushing to the statue as she stood in front tears started pouring down her face " I don't understand why...why would she? " breathes Chloe unable to look away from the sight.

Standing next to Chloe Eve gazed at the statue with a grief expression " one day both myself and Libra followed her here then she said " recalling the memory Eve closed her eyes to prevent her tears from calling...

" Continue your duties...if my child returns protect her...she may never forgive me when she learns everything...so for this act I punish myself "...

Chloe brings her hands over her face, " afterwards she turned herself to stone so that she lives with the pain of giving you up without forgiveness " Eve breathed.

Taking a couple steps forward gently placing her hands on the statue, " you shouldn't have punished yourself like this...it wasn't your fault " cried Chloe " if I had to do the same I would be heartbroken forever but I do anything to have my daughter with me again " she added while Eve stood by.

A while later Eve carried Chloe back she cried herself to the point she passed out and her face tear stained,once they met with Libra and Cherubim they returned back to the manor.
