Hello my readers! I have managed to update chapters 12- 14 of my last installment, all I did was add more take away what felt like it didn't fit anymore I'm in the process of rewriting chapter 15 trying to figure out how to make it better, not all of it is changing, just half. In the mean time I will be taking time off of writing as I need time to get over my allergies that has me sick as a dog.

Hell

Amenadiel had finished filling Lucifer in on Michael causing a stir in his name, Lucifer pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. " So you're telling me that my dickheaded twin, showed up on earth, assumed my identity, and then wrecked all sorts of havoc on my life?" Amenadiel nodded, "That about cover's it, yes." Lucifer was in disbelief of the news clearly not happy about it. "Great. Great, and you came down here to tell me this why? just to torture me?"

Lucifer let out a sigh when he realized what he said, "I suppose this is the appropriate place for it." The hell loop they were talking in was starting to make Amenadiel uncomfortable. The hell loop was a circus funhouse of sorts, with a man scared in a cage on wheels rocking back and forth in a fetal position, "Yeah, is there somewhere else that we can talk." He said sounding a bit uncomfortable having this talk in front of a tortured soul, let alone a hell loop.

"I don't like having private conversations in the hallways, and Kenneth doesn't mind, do you Kenny?" Lucifer said looking at the man in the cage, "It's not funny. It's not funny!" Kenny whimpered. Lucifer looked at his prisoner, "No. No, it's certainly isn't. My slopey- shouldered brother is pulling a prank hardly worthy of Saved by the Bell in order to humiliate me."

Amenadiel rolled his eyes, "This isn't about you, Lucy. Michael's threatened Charlie's safety." Lucifer blew him off, "Oh, please. Michael needles people's fears. It's what he dose. But we also know he's all bark and no bite. Don't you remember growing up? He'd get under your skin with one of his schemes, then you'd give him one of your atomic wedgies, an that'd be that."

Amenadiel gave him a grim look. "I don't even know if Selene has crossed paths with him yet, she's not aware that you and Michael are twins. Besides, I don't think a wedgie is gonna do it this time." Lucifer didn't like the sound of that, yet he knew Amenadiel was right, Selene hasn't even asked him about Michael. His chest felt tight wondering if she felt it was a sensitive subject as much as he was willing to answer any questions, she was avoiding talking about Michael for his sake.

"Things have... changed up in Heaven. Last time I was there, Michael has managed to seat himself at Father's right hand." Lucifer really didn't like the sound of that, he looked at his brother like he wasn't understanding what he said, "So, Dad's talking to him?" Amenadiel started to clarify what he meant as this was surprising news. "No, he's talking to Father, but he's the only one. Nobody else in the Silver City has a line to Him. Nobody, and Michael has seen to it."

Lucifer didn't know weather to laugh or take seriously, "Michael? Weaselly, cowardly Michael?" Lucifer scoffed, "Now suddenly he's the power behind the throne?" The idea of such a thing sounded rubbish in Lucifer's mind, but his mind turned to the idea of Michael getting into Selene's head, or worse, in bed with Michael thinking he's him. Cheating was a thing most humans get upset over, even feel guilty doing.

There were plenty of cheater's in hell, he has seen die by the hand's of either the wife, or the mistress, or the husband, the urge to go make sure she was alright was tugging at him, to make sure she never feel like she did something wrong. "Without being able to speak to Father, who knows? But he's stronger then you think, Lucy. Michael has become... Untouchable in the Silver City." Lucifer took time to process things and the thought of Selene being caught in the middle and hurt by what ever Michael has cooked up, made his blood boil.

"Well, he's not in the Silver City now, is he? So excuse me while I go touch him." he said then stormed past Amenadiel heading to the doorway out of the hell loop. He stopped when he realized what he had said, "I can see how that's a poor choice of words." He opened up the door," Just hold the fort while I'm gone." Lucifer didn't hesitate to leave or let Amenadiel protest, the door slammed shut and Amenadiel was left to be in charge.

Back on earth, Lucifer saw it was mid morning, with that he knew Selene's schedule well he felt the needed to find out what day it was to be able to find Selene according to the schedule she has for herself. When he found a newspaper stand he looked to see the date, it was a Tuesday, to him that meant finding Selene at her bar teaching line dancing. He wasted no time he had to hurry, lucky his celestial speed helped him greatly getting where he needed to go.

His heart pounded in his chest, he wished their reunion would be on better terms, and not such a time crunch, but being able to see her in person and not a hell loop would be so worth it. He arrived at the bar an made sure he looked his best, he saw her with Aly giving lessons. She looked radiant as ever, the memory of her hurting the day he left he couldn't bare to see her hurting like that again, even if she would anyway when he goes back to hell.

Before he knew it everyone there taking her class was leaving. He felt that had to been perfect, once all the humans have vacated the bar. He walked in, admiring the new look in person and to see her drinking made him smile. "Hello, Selene." Selene paused mid sip then froze at the sound of Lucifer's voice and footsteps approached the bar.

Selene slipped off her seat and met Lucifer half way looking quite pissed, "What do you think you are doing, I told your ass to get lost Michael." Lucifer's suspicions were correct she did find out Michael's been playing, "I showed you mercy by shooting you then using my powers on you, and gave you a chance to leave. I have Amenadiel on speed dial I'll warn him of you're presence if you don't get your feathered ass back up where you belong, he won't hesitate to take care of things " she snarled in a low tone, her eyes glared in hate and anger.

Lucifer was surprised to know she had shot Michael let alone ballzy with her threats but hearing the tone of her voice gave him chills, "Darling, it's me, Lucifer." Selene didn't want to hear it, "Last chance, Michael, get the hell out of here." Her eyes flashed at him "I won't fall for this sick game you have pulled already. What you did was a really low thing pretending to be Lucifer, and still be doing it is just terrible." Lucifer was taken back by her angry tone he was also impressed to know she had inflicted some pain on Michael.

"But-" Lucifer had to think of a way to convince her "Darling, Look at my hair, my clothes, this pocket square. Could Michael pull this off? I don't think so." He saw Aly walking over with a smile. Selene was giving him the cold stare not sure if she should believe him, "Aly, Come here. Come here." He said going around Selene to greet Aly then pulled her over to Selene.

"Oh, it's good to see you again. Tell me. What is it you desire?" Aly zoned in on Lucifer as if spellbound, " I...I want to make it big as a song writer." Selene's expression changed to being completely shocked that the real Lucifer was infront of her. "Oh, I could perhaps pull some strings for you." Aly blinked confused as to what had happened she recalled what Selene said Lucifer was then walked away, "Pardon me I got to clean the bathrooms."

Lucifer grinned at the doe eyed Selene, "Now, I know my brother can't do that." Selene had come to terms to knowing it's truly Lucifer, she felt terrible threating him, "It's really you..." He gave her a warm smile now that she had seen the truth. She pulled him into a happy passionate 'I missed you so much' kiss, Lucifer gratefully returned the kiss, then broke it holding her tight. Selene then drugged Lucifer to her office for some privacy.

Selene shut the door and he took hold of her hand's, "As much as I'm so glad to see you again, darling, I'm afraid I can't stay, day job an all." Selene was disappointed but she was going to soak up this moment, "It's alright, Lucifer, I'm just glad to see you.. even if you can't be here long." she figured out the real reason he must be up here is that Amenadiel knew about Michael and went to hell to fetch Lucifer. "I had to come back to see you're ok, but judging by that threating tone you had you saw though Michael's charade."

Selene had the look of guilt, "Well, It did take take a while, he was very convincing even his lies were believable reasonable answers." Lucifer nodded, " Well, good news on that, everything that my brother say's is a complete bold faced lie." Selene felt relived about that. "Oh, good. I mean... it's just that...what he had said to me... made me feel really small." Lucifer looked at her with concern. "Obviously I felt there had to been a reason why he has sought me out, that he knew I was looking for answers... key word 'was looking' I basically gave up on it. just they were not answers I was really expecting."

Selene swallowed nervously, " Like, finding out I have eternal youth, that in all reality I shouldn't even exist, or that my soul isn't even mine, the way Michael made it sound like God refurbished Asariel's soul, just to build me... well, for you." Lucifer was in complete shock as Selene walked over to her Liquor storage and pored herself a drink, and let out a sigh, "If you kind of think about it it makes a whole lotta sense, but finding out I was made only for you, I'm not sure how I should feel about that...any of it honestly..."

Lucifer was taken back by what she had told him, " I- I know how this sounds, but-" Selene cut him off when she looked at him, "I know you don't have any answers for me Luce, the only one who can really give me a proper answer would be your dad. Not like I really can have direct conversation with him." She chugged the drink she poured herself, "Just when I thought things were finally peaceful and dandy in my mind, now that I've gotten more comfortable with my powers, to questioning what is real anymore, like my feelings for you...after hearing I'm a gift from god to you, this...this is all becoming too much for me to handle."

Lucifer swallowed feeling so bad for her he walked over to her, " I would never think of you as some tool, Selene. I have felt my feelings were manipulated by Dad before I realized Dad wasn't pulling the strings , but I can assure you whether you were made for me or not, It doesn't matter." Selene put her head down, "It matters to me." there was a knock on the door before it opened revealing dawn.

"Selene it's time to get into rehearsals if we're all gonna sing togeth- O-Oh, h-hi Lucifer" Dawn stammered nervously as Lucifer gave her a odd look, "Hello, to you as well Dawn." Dawn gave him a nervous smile then left them be alone, "Is she alright?" Lucifer asked as Selene bit her bottom lip nervously, "I'm sorry for the way the girls acted, I... I told them the truth. The truth of who you really are- I proved everything by letting them see what I can do, there still wrapping their heads that you're really the devil, It's going to take some time for that information to sink in, don't take it personally."

Lucifer was surprised on how well they are handling it, "Well, they're certainly handling things well." Selene rolled her eyes ready to leave the room, "Yeah, well, were family... so they won't see me any different... you being the devil on the other hand they are going to need to adjust to. Why don't you go see Chloe, without her help I would have never figured out Michael wasn't really you. I told Chloe to ask you if she knew you were really back from hell ' what's the difference between cowgirls and angels' because you would only know the answer to that phrase. Michael wouldn't know the answer, that and I explained to her you and Michael are identical twins so that would only be her way of telling the two of you apart, should he pop back up and be a problem."

Lucifer was impressed with her plan he really didn't want to leave her but she did handle Michael the first time. She was opening up the door leaving the room, Lucifer chased after ," Darling, you're the only reason I'm here, I came to see you." Selene sighed, "And you're the reason I exist, Lucifer, I need some time, I'm so overwhelmed by everything I need to regain my focus, so please, go make sure Michael didn't ruin your relationship with anyone else."

Selene had a point and Lucifer knew it, he didn't want to leave her but he had to find out who Michael crossed paths with and then find him and put a end of his twin brother's game. Lucifer made his way on out pissed that he freaked Selene out, "Michael, you bastard." He set off to go see his old partner leaving Selene to be with the girls. "Sel? Is everything alright?" Rosie asked with concern.

"Ah, yeah, yeah everything's just peachy, It's just, last night I really wasn't with Lucifer, I found out last night, Lucifer is a twin...and well, his brother, was the one who kicked him out of Heaven... Michael." The girls stared at her in shock, "Wait... Michael...as in the archangel Michael?" Aly asked as Selene nodded, "Yep, Samael and Michael are identical archangel twins." all the girls looked like there minds were blown with that news. "But, no worries, he's the reason Lucifer is back on earth, Amenadiel must have crossed paths with Michael, there's no other way Lucifer would know Michael is on earth."

The information had to sink into the girls, "On second thought I think I should be concerned something might happen. After talking to Michael, I think I understand why he's so disliked. Unlike Lucifer who can be a ass, well a playful ass, Michael is like his polar opposite, a serious 'got a stick up his ass' kind of ass, least that's what vibe I've gotten from him." Selene said as the hamster wheel began to turn in her head, wondering what Michael is truly doing on Earth. Realization hit her made her wonder if she was in any way possibly in danger...Michael killed Asariel just so she could exist for Lucifer.

(Selene's POV thoughts)

Whatever the reason is for Michael to just decide to pop down to earth after Lucifer had gone back to hell, he's up to no good. Should I be concerned? Michael found me first after all... he obviously had answers about me and why I exist... it's not like anyone else would give me any answers. Amenadiel had no answer's for me... the only way I'll ever know what's the truth is if God comes down here and speaks to me.

How can I get God to come to me? Will Michael interfere with the prayer transmission?

What is the truth? What is a lie... is my existence solely to be only for Lucifer, that I'm invisible to other guys because I'm only to belong to Lucifer and can't be in love with anyone else?

How much more celestial drama can I take?

(Selene's POV thoughts end)

About 3 hours after the girls have been working on their performance, Maze walked into the bar, "Haywood." She said walking over as Selene was not expecting to see Maze after seeing her with Michael. Selene tried to put on a brave face as the other girls were watching her talk. "Hey, Maze." She told the girls give her a moment before pulling Maze a side, "Listen, I uh.. are you...I mean freaked out about me and Lucifer?" Selene shook her head at Maze.

"Maze, I know that really wasn't Lucifer...I figured it out, what I don't understand is why is if you knew about Michael pretending to be Lucifer why couldn't you have warned me? I was pissed seeing that, but now that I learned the truth last night, you did me a favor." Maze was not expecting to been thanked for doing what she had done, "Maze, I don't even know what to think anymore. I do know this, you don't need to apologize to me, we both have been suffering from Lucifer's absence. I will never understand your methods, but in your own demon way, you were looking out for me, maybe there are things worth protecting me from."

She took Maze's hand, " I can't be protected forever, what ever is going on and it involves me, I have the right to know, I would never withhold information from you, I hope you would never do the same for me." Maze was taken back by what she had said, "When I found out he was really Michael, I felt really terrible for what he had me do to you, if you must know, Michael's beef isn't with us. He's doing all this to draw out Lucifer to 'right a very serious wrong' seems that Lucifer is getting a lot of praises up in Heaven and Michael got highly annoyed." Maze said being quite serious.

Selene was confused on what she had said it wasn't making any sense, then it did. "Maze we can't let Michael get away with this. I know I zapped him pretty good I'm sure he's still in pain as my metal arrows I shot him with were like lighting rods, pretty sure even if he dose heal he is still very much wounded from my powers. I made sure to hit him good." Maze was impressed, "Way to go Haywood, I'd say our training paid off. Wish I was there to see you be such a badass."

Selene chuckled lightly then looked sad, "Well, hopefully I won't have to deal with Michael again. After what I've learned about myself, I kind of regret not moving back home to Nashville, I need a normal life, my life is no longer normal I don't want to know things anymore. It hurts to say I want my life back to the way it use to be, completely oblivious to everything... it was simpler that way... this is just far too much for me even if I have finally gotten answers I was just better off not knowing."

Maze put her hands on her shoulder, "You have come too far to give everything up like this. I'm not surprised this would push you over the edge, It's been a crazy year with the demons running rampant, you discovering your powers, finding out Lucifer's the devil, I can only imagine how hard it is for your Human brain to comprehend everything. "Maze got real serious with her, Selene felt so bad for feeling the way she did.

"I love you Maze your a awesome friend really, I don't regret meeting Amenadiel, Lucifer, or even you, it's just things were better when I didn't take everything so seriously, when talking about heaven and hell and all that, I'd like to feel normal, I really don't feel normal anymore now that I have a celestial soul inside of me, and I'm not entirely mortal either." Maze looked at her like she had 3 heads.

"Wait. What?" She asked Selene, "Yeah, Michael told me, I have a refurbished soul that once belonged to Asariel, the goddess of the moon, which is why I have theses powers, she gave up her soul, just so I could be made for Lucifer. The only one who can verify this would be God, and I don't see myself having a audience with him any time soon for him to talk one on one with me." Selene said shaking her head. " If you happen to run into the real Lucifer, don't be too rough with him ok."

Maze looked at her as now the information had made her feel awkward, "I can't promise you that, but I will tear Michael apart for you." She took her hands off and pulled out her blades, "He won't be a problem soon enough." She said turning to leave, Selene sighed and muttered under her breath, "Please be careful, Maze. We don't know what he's capable of."

That night, Selene and the rest of the girls did a few songs together, and Selene got out of work early due to feeling off, and having to make sure her horses are ok. It was 11pm when Selene was made herself a hot Toddy to drink taking it to her living room, when her door opened up. She turned around to see Lucifer, bloodied and unkempt. "Lucifer." She said softly "You ok?" she asked him as he looked like hell, she sat her drink down and he closed the door.

"You look like Hell." Lucifer looked at her, "Appropriate." he said walking over to her, "So, uh... the good news is, I dealt with the Michael problem. He won't be impersonating me ever again. Bad news is that I've discovered... Apparently he's been manipulating me since the dawn of time." Selene sat down on her couch with her drink and took a sip staring at her cup. "I'm sorry to hear that. Must be terrible, to know you had no control over your own fate."

Lucifer was still seething when he spoke of it, "I get it, Selene. You're feeling like you can't cope with what your fate is. Welcome to the bloody club!" Selene flinched as she glared at him. "Don't give me that tone, Lucifer. We're nothing a like, You were born a Angel. You have more experience in the Celestial side of things." She stated harshly, "The last 24 years of my life I've lived a human life, I thought I was just a ordinary nobody of a human, Life was better for me when I didn't know that heaven and hell are real."

She took another sip before setting her drink down as she was clearly upset to near tears, " I was dealing with the fact I am in love with the Devil, in turn learning I have powers, and now to find out that I have Asariel's soul inside of me, and that I was made to be and feel this way. " she got up and sighed, "I wish I had my old life back when I didn't know any of this! I've thought about, maybe I should move back home to help finish off the farming season, then come back for the winter until spring, or stay permanently just to be with my family." Lucifer looked at her with disbelief, it stung him to hear those words watching her walk into the kitchen.

Lucifer ended up calming down after hearing her thinking about moving, Selene walked back into the living room with a glass of whiskey in hand walking over to him, "To be fair, I've thought about moving since you went back to Hell, and I took a month time away from here to clear my head, I thought that I was never going to see you again." she put her head down handing him his drink, He took the glass of whiskey from her and took a drink.

"I... I... spent, thousands of years in Hell, imagining our reunion. Getting back to my topside life, and then I would be able to make things up to you, and everyone I hurt when I left." there was pain behind his eyes, "And now... I... Just thought things would go differently then what we're going though now that I want to be with you the whole time." Selene walked away from him and sat down taking a sip of her drink and sniffled, "So did I, nothing ever goes as planned." she curled up on the couch.

"I thought my life was some crazy fantasy novel, that's slowly turning into a nightmare. I can't take it anymore, I need a normal life." her voice cracked hurt. Lucifer looked down at her with pain in his eyes, it hurt to see her like this, all because of Michael and God. Lucifer ended up leaving her to be alone and headed back to to his place to get cleaned up, and to figure out a way to mend things between himself and her.

He knew he wouldn't be able to do this alone, he was going to need to see her cousins, when he realized he still has the diamond from the depths of hell. He made a point to have it turn into a ring for Selene, as well as get yet another piano, since his was destroyed from his fight with Michael. Lucifer hoped he can salvage everything that Michael had ruined on him, least he felt grateful to slice his brother's face, a punishment long deserved and he felt justified.
