chapter 14:
"Lucifer? Lucifer, what do you hear?" Chloe asked in a mix of worry and impatience.
Lucifer didn't answer her but his eyes flashed red before growling, "I am coming urchin please hold on."
The devil was about to find a place to roll his shoulder and let his wings out when he was stopped by Chloe, "Take me with you, Lucifer."
"I don't know, detective, it could get dangerous," Lucifer responded.
"Lucifer, for your Dad's sake, I am as much immortal as you are now," Chloe said angrily.
"You know I hate it when you are forced to see my other side, my monstrous side." Lucifer sighed holding his head in pain, he wasn't used to getting prayers anymore.
"Lucifer, I had a ceremony in Hell with you looking like the devil why do you think this will be any different besides you need someone to protect Trixie while you are scaring the shit out of the kidnappers. I will send the coordinates to the other officers." Chloe whispered angrily while poking her finger into his chest. Unfortunately, Ella had heard every single word.
"Go you two, I will say Lucifer received a phonecall but I want to know everything when this case is closed," Ella said knowing there would be time for a freak out later.
Lucifer swallowed he knew that she heard Chloe so he knew that she finally knew that he wasn't a method actor at all but the real deal.
"Oh for the love of…, Lucifer we have no time to freeze right now! We can do this when Trixie is safe!" Chloe yelled at her partner in everything.
"You are right, detective, come on, we can use the back door. Cover for us, miss Lopez and I will answer all of your questions in return." Lucifer said but didn't wait for her answer. He took off towards the back door with Chloe hot in his heels.
He didn't lose a second, from the moment that Chloe closed the door behind her, the devil rolled his shoulder and made his white wings appeared gracefully behind his back. He scooped Chloe up in bridal style and took off towards the place where the prayer was coming from. Chloe had wrapped her arms around his neck and was holding herself tightly against him, her face buried in his neck. She was immortal but she was still not used to the wind in her face even though he landed behind the shed in a matter of a few flaps of his wings.
The sound of hooves made Chloe turn around only moments after they had landed, Lucifer was facing her, and was startled when a heavily muscled bull was storming towards them. The detective wasn't used to her devil being immortal again around her let alone that she was used to the fact that she was immortal herself, "Lucifer, look out!" She yelled warning her partner.
The devil looked behind him and laughed, "I think it will be more painful for him than it will be for me, love but I am a good devil so watch I don't have time to play now." Lucifer looked at the bull and flashed his red eyes towards the animal. That sight made the bull stop and run away like a scared little dog with his tail between his legs.
"Good, that problem is solved now, let's save our little urchin from some idiotic humans," Lucifer growled deeply his wings folded behind his back. He walked around the shed until they saw a large, old wooden gate.
He froze when he heard a little voice say, "You don't know, who you are dealing with, mommy's boyfriend is the devil and he will come for me." Something about this sentence warmed his heart. Her screaming brought him out of thoughts, though.
"Yeah, right and I am the queen of England." Mark laughed before he was startled by a door that broke into a million pieces.
"Step away from the child, your majesty," Lucifer growled his eyes getting their red color again.
"Lucifer!" Trixie yelled before Mark placed the injection inside her neck. Beatrice's scream was deafening.
"NOOO!" the devil growled changing his entire body from a handsome man into what looked like a heavily burned victim. spikes covering his spine, the white wings changing into red bat-like wings. He took the two men by the throat one in each hand and smashed them against the wall.
"Call the ambulance, Detective!" Lucifer yelled towards his queen but the woman sat on the ground screaming holding the lifeless body of her daughter. He let go of two bandits and knocked them out for a moment before changing back to his human form.
"We are too late, Lucifer." Chloe cried, "I know I had to say goodbye to her someday but this is too soon."
Lucifer shook his head, tears in his eyes, "I refuse to let her go, love. I am not going to let her die even if I have to fight my sister for it." The devil said in a small voice, "You handcuff those two, and I will fly her to the hospital."
Chloe looked up now, "You would do all of that to save my girl?"
"Of course, love. Now come on give her to me and call the officers. Stay strong for a while, love, I will do my best to save her." Lucifer swallowed and said in a thick voice, "Oh and Chloe our fun will come when their time to die arrives. Don't do things you won't regret."
Lucifer stepped closer to Chloe to take Trixie out of her arms but she held the small body tightly against crying her tears out. It broke the devil's immortal heart when he saw this sight in front of him, "Come on, love. Give Trixie to me."
Chloe shook her head, "I can't let her go, Lucifer. My little girl is dying."
Lucifer crouched down next to her, "I will do anything in my power to save her but that means that will need to let her go so that I can fly her to the hospital."
Chloe didn't react still rocking her daughter's body.
The devil placed his hand on Chloe's shoulder, "Chloe!"
This was enough to make the detective look up to him, "Trixie needs to go to the hospital."
"Try to save her, Lucifer." Chloe sobbed between her tears.
"I will do everything I can to save the little urchin, love that much I promise you," Lucifer said still with a thick voice. He took Trixie carefully out of his wife's arms, "I will keep you up-to-date." he held the girl tightly against his chest while he walked outside and took off.
Chloe whipped the tears out of her eyes and took her handcuffs. She had only one pair but she cuffed the arm of Juan and pulled the irons through the wheel of an old tractor before cuffing Mark.
She was just in time because Mark and Juan both started to groan.
She sat in front of them, her eyes had turned in to an ash-gray color, her left hand placed over her righthand which formed a fist. She held her hands in front of her mouth and waited patiently for them to wake up again.
Mark pulled at his side of the handcuff before looking up seeing the angry eyes of the blond woman in front of him, "What the hell! Let me go immediately!" Mark groaned.
Chloe didn't move a muscle, she didn't talk. She just sat there fire in her eyes that matched her king's.
Mark pulled again at his cuffs while Juan didn't move a muscle. The latter had a bad feeling about this.
"Wait until my boss hears about this! You will regret this." Mark huffed angrily. That sentence usually helped but not this time though.
The immortal detective stood up now, "Do I need to be scared?" She crouched in front of the two men, "You two are damn lucky I promised my partner that I wouldn't do anything stupid."
"Are you so scared of your husband?" Mark mocked evilly.
"You don't know what you are saying, Mark. Stop it!" Juan knew for sure who he was dealing with.
"I would listen to your buddy, Mark because everybody is scared of him. I don't know if the name Lucifer says anything to you and I mean the Lucifer you all know, fallen angel, ruler of hell." Chloe grinned before her face went serious again, "If my daughter dies I don't know who you need to be afraid of the most. My husband, the literal devil or his queen, me."
Mark swallowed now, "queen?"
Chloe nodded, "Oh yes, queen of hell I been down there and you will go there too when time is right and then my dear Mark nothing will stop me from making Hell just that for you." She stood up again when she heard the sound of police cars driving towards them. She stepped towards the sound her eyes still red-rimmed from crying but her eyes back into their normal blue color.
Lucifer landed in an alley behind the hospital after a matter of seconds from taking off. He ran into the emergency room, "Can somebody help me! She is poisoned."
A nurse came running towards him with a stretcher and took the girl out of his arms, placing the girl on it rolling away from Lucifer. The devil wanted to follow but was stopped, "The doctor will do everything he can. Why don't you wait over there in the waiting room." The sweet woman said with a soft voice.
The devil sighed, he looked up towards the ceiling, "Dad, I know we had our fights in the past. We both made mistakes. Don't punish Chloe for the past we had. Don't take her child away from her, not just yet. Please, Dad." Lucifer whispered, there was nothing more he could do right now but wait.
