A/N, thanks to all of you for the continued support, would love to hear some comments
"I'd be disappointed if they didn't!" Lucifer smirked again, somehow not overly bothered by the statement,
"We are the reason the angel is here and why she cannot leave!"
"I see!" Lucifer's mood had become somewhat frosty,
"For what it's worth, I am sorry, I was never in favour of this plan but I was overruled by the governing council," Emma stated and hoped not to be on the end of the wrath which may come her way,
Lucifer almost reading her mind said, "As I said, you will come to no harm by my hands but I am not amused by the situation!" The glass in his hand shattered, he was pissed! Coming after him was one thing, but bringing his young and naive sister into the fold was something else. "What was the plan?" Lucifer never got the answer as his phone started ringing, the ring tone was one he had reserved for Ella, so he answered it, whilst still keeping an eye on Sister Emma, who looked a dear in the headlights, "Miss Lopez, what can I do for you? I was hoping for peace and quiet remember?"
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what happened, she was there, then a van pulled up and she was gone, I have failed her!" Ella was clearly shaken and upset, "I am so sorry!"
"Don't be so hard on yourself little one, where are you?" Lucifer's tone was all business now,
"Outside of the fair, Cass was just here and now she is gone!" Ella sniffed, clearly crying,
"Ella, this is not your fault, I will be there shortly!" Lucifer glared at the nun who still was looking shocked and scared, he hung up and grabbed his jacket, "you coming?" He didn't ask, he demanded, Emma jumped up to her feet and started to follow the Devil to the elevator,
"I'm sorry, I never wanted any of this!"
"I know but you are now going to help me find her!" The seriousness of his word sunk in,
"I will do all that I can."
"Thank you." Sister Emma was yet again surprised.
Lucifer drove with conviction and purpose, his face was one of pure granite, he needed to find his sister and also had the need to comfort Ella, she had been distraught over what had happened and none of it was her fault, she blamed herself so somehow not protecting an angel, one who in the most part should be able to look after herself,
"How?" Lucifer asked his guest
"I'm not sure," Emma answered honestly, "the fathers found some ancient text that allowed us to summon her, hold her here and then remove her powers, I haven't seen the text, but clearly it has worked."
"Yes I can see that, what was the purpose of this little stunt?"
"The angel was to be convinced that destroying you was the best option, remove you from the earth and saving the souls of the innocent was the plan, the angel was meant to gladly join us and our holy quest to stop you!" Emma felt that telling the whole truth to be the best option here,
"I am an archangel my dear, very few can stand before me and survive should I choose that option, which I genuinely do not, my little sister is not in my league, she would be swept aside with a flick of my wrist, she is not a fighter, nor does she want to be, she is just trying to find her way in the world." Lucifer took a breath, "I am all for my siblings learning and experiencing new things and the human world but you have forced my sister to join it, against her will, your actions have harmed her and caused her pain, I do not condone that, I actually will be having words with your ruling council about that little fact!" Emma could now feel the Devil's anger. She had no words, so she laid her head back into the cars head rest, resigned to fact that she would be the target to all of the Devils hatred and anger, but that never came.
The car screeched to a halt, Lucifer was out of it almost immediately, scanning the area for Ella, once he found her looking miserable, he strode over to her and swept her up into is arms, she cried into his shirt,
"I am so sorry Lucifer, I should have done something, kept Cassiel safe but I failed!" Ella sounded distraught,
"Hush now little one," Lucifer said softly into her ear, whilst patting her gently on the back "this is not your doing and not your responsibility, we will find her and bring her home safe and sound," Lucifer was now looking directly into Ella's dark eyes, he hoped he conveyed the correct message,
"Ok bro," Ella wiped her eyes with her sleeve but she believed the Devil, he would make everything right in the world, and somehow that little acknowledgement didn't seem strange at all, well not to Ella anyway.
"So Sister Emma, where have your cohorts taken my sister?" Lucifer had turned to face her, the look in his eyes suggested that she tell him all she knew, the flicker of hell fire had made that point very clear.
