Chapter 5:

The little flame of hope inside her became a fire straight from Hell. Lucifer, her devil was back and was here on earth.

One of Ramzi's men took her by the arm and almost dragged her through the sandstone hallway with paintings of all Ramzi's ancestors. Chloe tried to follow his steps but the man was in a hurry.

Chloe couldn't close her eyes now but she hoped that it would work anyway, "Samael, My angel, and my devil, please hear me. Time is running out. Ramzi wants to force me into marrying him but I don't want to spend my life with him, I want to spend my life with you. Please Samael, Lucifer help me."

She arrived in a room with a large painting of him against the main wall behind him and a sort altar standing in the middle of the room. Another man waiting beside him.

She tried to stall as much as she could, tears rolling over her cheek. "Please my devil be on time."

"Hold her still," Ramzi ordered him guard while he walked towards her.

"What a beauty. She will give me beautiful children." Ramzi smiled, "Starting with tonight."

Chloe shook her head, "I will sleep with you when hell freezes over and I know his king so that's not going to happen."

"Oh but I don't care if you want to or not. I will take from my women what I want, whenever I want it. Do you really want to make me believe that you know a religious figure personally?" Ramzi smirked.

"Samael please hurry up, I don't want to be forced to sleep with him." Chloe kept praying to her devil.

On the outskirts of town, Lucifer held his head in his hand, this was the first prayer he received in eons and it freaking hurt. He needed every control to concentrate on where the prayer came from.

On the other side, he never thought he would ever hear the sweet voice of his detective ever again. His blood started to boil even hotter than it already was by hearing that he was about to force her into marrying him.

Nobody forced his Chloe without regretting it.

He unfurled his bright white wings and took off to a large mansion on the other side of town followed by his twin brother and his Father.

The landed on the inside of the gates. The three walked towards the guards standing at the main door.

"Hey, you don't belong here. Walk away before we make you." A guard said fiercely not having seen how they arrived there in the first place.

"Gentlemen, I have no time for this now let me through, I have a woman to save," Lucifer said in his own charming way.

"We can't let you turn around or we will have to kill you." The other said.

Lucifer looked beside him to his twin brother with a smile who nodded and walked towards them instead of turning back. Both brothers had a smile on their face. His father hoped that he wouldn't regret it giving his permission to let Lucifer lead this mission.

Lucifer looked beside him towards his brother who did the same. Both angel and devil smirked at each other, their arms crossed in front of their chests.

"I want to see you try," Lucifer smirked, Michael didn't respond but was wearing the same smirk it was like seeing double when you had a way to many alcohol that night.

God pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and index finger, closing his eyes while shaking his head in disbelief, "Oh boy." He had forgotten how much both brothers acted alike when being together.

Ramzi better watches out because double trouble was coming at him, the twin brothers were back together as one force.

The guards charged forward but the swords broke into a million pieces when touching the immortal bodies of the twin brothers.

They looked confused from the sword handles without blades towards the brothers in front of them. Lucifer took the head of one guard in his hand while Michael took the head of the other and both brothers smashed the heads of the guards together, knocking them out in the process.

They stepped over bodies and walked inside. Lucifer was walking at a fast pace. God, as well as Michael, could see how pissed their fallen son and brother was. This mortal being didn't know what firestorm was heading his way.

Lucifer followed the prayers like it was a sort of tracking device. One way or another she was smart enough to keep praying. Until they stood in front of two large wooden doors, decorated with golden curls.

Lucifer's jaw tightened when he could here Ramzi yell, "You better answer or you will die."

He pushed so hard against the doors that the wood splintered. He stepped inside the room.

"She won't answer." He yelled in his low demonic voice, "Not as long as it doesn't happen out of her own bloody free will."

Chloe never thought that the devil's voice couldn't sound sweeter as when she heard him stop Ramzi.

"I don't know how you found us so quickly but you made a mistake coming here. She will marry me." Ramzi said.

Lucifer shook his head before taking long strides towards them, "No, she is not and about finding her so quickly easy, she prayed."

"I don't know who you are but don't come closer or I shoot," Lucifer smirked while Chloe looked with fear in her eyes. She didn't know about Lucifer's recent gift from his father.

Chloe saw everything in slow motion the moment Ramzi aimed and pulled the trigger," Lucifer, no!" she yelled struggling against her guard but what Chloe thought would happen didn't happen.

"That's impossible, you should be dead by now? I aimed for your heart. With five bullets no less." Ramzi Sai shocked.

"Yes, and ruined a perfect suit in the process," Lucifer whined with a smirk poking his finger through one of the bullet holes in his suit.

"But how?" Ramzi asked a bit shocked.

"Well you pulled the trigger, the bullets came out of the gun and went through my suit," Lucifer said his voice still deep.

If Chloe wasn't fearing for her life she would have rolled her eyes now.

Michael shook his head but responded before Lucifer could, "It's a thing called immortality. You know… a gift Father gave us."

Ramzi shook his head out of shock and aimed for Chloe now, "You may be immortal but she isn't. If I can't have her nobody can."

Hé pulled the trigger and hit Chloe in the shoulder the knocking her out in the guard's arms.

"Chloe!" Lucifer growled looking up now to the man who shot her, "You just made the biggest mistake of your miserable life." the devil said in an icily cold and dangerous tone.

Michael ran to the guard and knocked him out with his fist. Taking Chloe in his arms and made his way back to his father.

"Take her out of here, I will make sure Lucifer doesn't kill the man," Michael whispered.

God sighed, he wasn't usually one to take orders from one of his sons, hell he cast Lucifer out of the Silver City for less but if he ever wanted forgiveness for waiting so long to try and make amends, Chloe needed to stay alive. He feared that if this woman died today because he didn't do anything to prevent it, Lucifer would never forgive him.

He took Chloe in his arms and disappeared out of the room.

"Now it's between you and me," Lucifer said in a dangerously low voice. The voice he used when playtime was over. His dark brown eyes changed into the blazing red ones showing the fire of hell.

Lucifer grabbed the gun from Ramzi and folded the gun in such a way that the barrel of the gun had a corner of 90 degrees. He folded the gun like it was melted iron.

"This is impossible," Ramzi said shocked but still without fear.

Lucifer threw the gun across the room before lifting Ramzi with his throat, shutting off his air supply. Lifting the man like he was weighing nothing. Ramzi closed his hands around Lucifer's wrists. The devil was choking the man.

Michael placed his hand on Lucifer's arm, it was time to intervene before he got into more trouble, "Lucifer, he isn't worth it let him go."

Lucifer didn't listen, he was way too angry. This man had shot his detective.

"Lucifer, stop," Michael ordered.

The devil shook his head to try to control his rage again, he threw the man against the wall across the room, he wasn't finished though. He walked towards the man and crouched next to him, "I hope for your sake that she survives because a devil without something to live for can be even more dangerous. Stay away from her and her family."

Ramzi was shivering now, he still didn't know who he had been dealing with. Could everything be true and the devil that other religions believed in really existed. He has never been overly religious himself but he couldn't deny that the strange man's brother had saved his life.

"Come on, let's find your detective," Michael said towards Lucifer. He took his brother, the devil, by the shoulder and walked away from the scene. They unfurled their wings outside and flew to the outskirts of town.

Meanwhile, God appeared again where they started on the outskirts of town. He placed Chloe in the sand and waved his hand a little oasis appeared, a palm tree with a little water spring. That way she could lay down in the shadow with some water near her.

Hallucinations weren't always hallucinations of the mind sometimes they were the work of God like now but they disappeared when they were out of use.

He sighed, he normally didn't intervene but he knew it wasn't her time yet to go she still had a beast to tame before he could welcome Lucifer home again, she still had a purpose on this earth so he placed his hand above the wound and removed the bullet with a wave of his hand before closing the wound. This was all he could do though.

Lucifer and Michael arrived at the place where God was waiting with Chloe.

"Father, how… how is she?" Lucifer asked worried, kneeling beside her body, taking her hand in his.

"I removed the bullet and heal the wound but that is all I could do, the rest is up to her. Even my wonders are limited, son." God sighed, "She is a strong woman, son. Try to have faith son, not in me but in her."
