Chapter 12:
When he opened his eyes again he stood at the entrance of a cave. The entrance was small but he could go through it in his human form without his wings unfolded. He looked around him the only thing besides the cave was trees. Trees with large leaves.
"Where in the me's name am I?" Lucifer asked to no one in particular.
He was standing in a park but there are so many parks in Los Angeles.
Lucifer sighed, "Chloe, where are you." Lucifer turned his head, he heard something else. The sound of a waterfall. A pretty high one because through the trees behind he saw a glimpse of the beauty of nature. The waterfall in the middle of the forest.
"Amenadiel said Michael can only move through time so he has to be in this cave." Lucifer thought before he entered the cave.
The Devil shifted his eyes. The cave was dark but with those red eyes, he could see like a cat in the night.
He walked through the passages. The one passage was slightly wider than the other.
"Chloe!... Chloe!" Lucifer yelled the sound of his voice echoing through the cave. He kept walking until a familiar sound found his way back to him.
"Lucifer… Lucifer, I am here!" it was the sound of Chloe's voice.
Lucifer speeds up his pace towards the direction of the sound.
"Keep calling, love. I am coming." Lucifer yelled back, hoping that she would hear him.
Lucifer walked until he stopped in a large place with three passageways. This made him sigh.
"Chloe…?" Lucifer yelled stopping to listen.
"Lucifer, I am here!" sounded again but the echo of the voice made it difficult for Lucifer to determine where the voice was coming from.
"Chloe? Keep yelling!" Lucifer became desperate. He took a deep breath and choose the middle passage of the three, hoping it was the right one. He didn't stop yelling her name but the answers became vaguer until it stopped.
Again he yelled her name but this time there was no answer. Lucifer closed his eyes again before opening them again.
"Luci, are you alright?" Amenadiel asked worriedly for his brother. He knew this was new for the devil who never lost his heart to another angel or demon let alone a human.
Diego looked at them, was following your heart the best idea when it came to love? Maybe he should be starting to listen too and finally start his life with Victoria when all of this was over.
Lucifer sighed when he opened his eyes and was back in the company of his brother and his new friend from the past.
"What did you see?" Diego asked curiously.
"They are still in the cave, I just feel it. The cave is in a park with big trees, with big leaves, and near a large waterfall. What's special about it is that the waterfall is located in the middle of the forest. I want to know where that is." The devil said
The place subscribed by the devil sounded familiar in Amenadiel's ears. The gears in his brain were turning in his head. Especially the waterfall sounded like he had been there. Suddenly the dark angel snapped his fingers, "I know where that cave is. I have been there before that I didn't think of it." The angel said.
"Lucifer takes your jeep from his parking place underneath Lux, I know you don't like the thing but we are only two beings with wings and if everything goes right we will be having three passengers and I don't think either of us wants to be flown like a horse with wings," Amenadiel said
The jeep was black metallic color, it had been a gift from one of his most exclusive customers so he kept the thing but he was more of a sportscar fan himself. Now he was glad he had the bloody thing because Amenadiel was right. He wasn't a bird let alone a freaking pegasus.
"Come on, what are we bloody waiting for?" Lucifer asked impatiently. He and his brother jumped in the car, Diego took a seat in what for him would be a wonderful experience. He was curious if it matched his superspeed stallion.
Amenadiel was giving directions while Lucifer was driving full speed. There was no time to lose. The ride that normally took thirty minutes lasted only twenty. He parked the jeep at the entrance of the forest.
Amenadiel walked ahead until Lucifer started to recognize the trees he had seen in his mind.
"The cave must be here somewhere," Lucifer said looking around until he stood in front that same entrance.
"This is the same cave!" Diego said, "I recognize it, this is the smaller entrance. There is a big entrance on the other side."
"You know this cave right?" Lucifer asked feeling hope again that he would see his detective again.
Diego nodded.
"Diego, you are coming with me. Amenadiel you go to the other side of the hill and fight whoever is defending the place." Lucifer said sounding like the lord he was down in hell.
"Lucifer, isn't it better if I go inside and bring out the girls and you and Diego fight the guards?" Amenadiel asked knowing about his mortality problem near Chloe.
The devil shook his head, "Diego knows these caves and he had excellent fighting abilities." Lucifer explained to his brother.
"Diego isn't the only one I am afraid for, Luci. You know that!" Amenadiel sighed.
"It will be a fine brother." Lucifer smiled walking towards the entrance, "Diego, are you coming?" he yelled while walking leaving his brother behind, who on his turn rolled his eyes and flew to the other side of the hill.
