Chapter 11:
Lucifer and Diego stopped by a beautiful corvette convertible.
"Amazing! is that a landau propelled by a steam engine? I've read about senior Trevithick's vehicles but I couldn't imagine the engine size could be reduced to this point. But there is only place for two people?" Diego rattled at seeing this modern way to travel.
Lucifer shook his head, "I don't have time to explain how a modern car works but you are right about needing another car. Just then another car stopped in front of them.
"I called my brother Amenadiel," Lucifer said pointing to a dark, bald man.
"You mean like your brother brother?" Diego asked curiously.
Lucifer nodded, "yes, my brother is one of dad's warriors, one of the few who stopped hating me. The only one who stopped hating me that is. Azrael never hated me."
"Lucifer, you told him?" Amenadiel said irritated.
"Yes, like I tell anyone but how could explain that his girlfriend is held in the future by a celestial being without explaining who I am?" Lucifer countered back.
"What do you mean held in the future? You brought him from the past?" Amenadiel asked getting more and more irritated with his brother.
"Michael started this by taking Miss Escalante from her time and Diego insisted on coming with me. I will bring them back to their time once they are saved." Lucifer said.
"But you said, women. Who is the other woman?" Amenadiel asked secretly hoping he was wrong by thinking he took Chloe.
"Chloe!" Lucifer said coldly. His eyes turning as red as the flames of hell.
"Lucifer, wouldn't it be safer to let me solve this? You know you are mortal around Chloe!" Amenadiel said.
"And miss all the fun." Lucifer grinned.
"Wait you can die?" Diego asked shocked.
Lucifer sighed, "only when Chloe is near me so we are we going or what!"
"Yes, but where do we start?" Diego asked.
"Luce, did you just said that Michael took the women from the past Los Angeles?" Amenadiel asked.
"Yes, brother, I knew you were slow but please keep up," Lucifer said annoyed.
"Luce, did you know where he held the girls in the past?" Amenadiel asked curiously.
"Yes, brother, my cave." Lucifer grinned.
"Your cave?" Amenadiel asked confused.
Diego shook his head, "The devil's cave." he answered the tall, dark angel.
"Then all we need to find out where the cave is." Amenadiel said, "You see they must have been there or still are, Michael isn't that smart. He can only travel through time not place and he won't think to move them because he thinks that Lucifer can't go back to his own time and is stuck in your time, Diego."
"He doesn't know about the sword?" Diego asked confused.
"Oh, he does but not that the sword has found his way back to Lucifer," Amenadiel said with a grin.
"You don't know the land here?" Diego asked.
"I am afraid they changed its name and we don't have the time to look for it," Lucifer said sadly.
"What can we do now?" Diego asked fearing he wouldn't see Victoria ever again.
"There is something more that you don't know, Lucifer," Amenadiel said carefully.
Lucifer sighed and rolled his eyes, "Tell me already, I am not in the mood for your guessing games, brother."
"Chloe isn't just a miracle that dad threw on your path, you two are connected," Amenadiel said.
"What do you mean we are connected?" Lucifer asked shocked.
"She is your soulmate Lucifer, it's because of her connection to you that she can resist your powers. The only thing you have to do is concentrate on her and your heart will lead you to her." Amenadiel said.
Lucifer looked confused he never had to listen to his heart before. He didn't know what Amenadiel meant or so he thought.
"Listen, when you married Candy you came back. Why?" Amenadiel asked, "The real reason, Luce."
"I couldn't stay away from Chloe." Lucifer sighed, thinking about that time and how wrong he was still shocked him.
"That is how you listen to your heart, Lucifer. Close your eyes and hear her heart call your name. Do you hear it?" Amenadiel said.
Lucifer closed his eyes, tried to exclude all the sounds from the outside world. He concentrated on his breath and heard Chloe's voice in a whisper from the inside his mind.
"Keep calling, my love. I am coming." Lucifer said in a whisper.
LUCIFER/ZORRO
Chloe woke up the moment she heard her name-calling. It sounded so far away but she knew that voice like no other; "Keep calling, my love. I am coming."
"Lucifer?" She whispered before she opened her eyes but Lucifer wasn't there, in fact, she was all alone.
"Victoria?" She whispered in shock looking around but Victoria was nowhere in sight. In front of her was a little creek.
"Keep calling, my love!" she heard again still far away but it was Lucifer's voice without a doubt.
"Lucifer! I am here!" Chloe yelled.
"I am coming!" She heard. It was like he was coming closer to her.
"Lucifer!" she yelled again but this time there was no response no answer. Had she dreamed all of this or had she heard his voice. Why was it like she couldn't move? She wanted to run to him but something held her back. The only thing she could do now was to yell and hope that she wasn't wrong. That it wasn't her imagination that was playing tricks on her.
Back, in reality, Victoria was looking more and more worried. Chloe just didn't want to wake up. She was glad to hear a moan once in a while because that was for Victoria a sign that she was still alive.
For the first time in her life, she lost all hope of being saved. How could Chloe still think that Lucifer would come for her?
