Thank you for reviewing, or just viewing in general.

So I wanted to update faster, but I couldn't really imagine how this scene would go and if the characters are a little OOC, I am sorry. And I was working on a different project as well. A Trollhunter Story, and I had to work with my marching band as well, sorry. I hate making excuses, and I really do feel bad for not updating faster.

Chapter 3: Devil's one fear

Lucifer looked down at the Detective.

Chloe couldn't bring herself to say anything. She was scared she say something wrong. She looked at Lucifer in the eyes, and she saw hurt.

"I should get going, Detective. Nights still young, Lux won't take care of itself. And I am dying for a drink." Lucifer started to move towards the door. He took his hands out of his pockets and started to reach for the door behind her.

But she stopped him. She put her hand on his chest, before he could move much further.

"Detective...?" Lucifer looked at her with curiosity and slight fear.

Chloe didn't know how to respond. So she removed her hand from his chest. "I needed some time to process... and I-"

Lucifer interrupted her. "Detective, I don't know how you feel about me, and if you want me gone I'll never bother you again. I am sorry you found out that way-"

It was Chloe's turn to interrupt him. "Lucifer, I am scared of what this means." She motioned towards the both of them. "But I don't fear you. I told you before you don't scare me."

Lucifer was flabbergasted. "But you were scared before, were you not?"

"Startled and I needed some processing time, but I thought about and I decided to not be scared because if you wanted to hurt me you would have long before now." Chloe said as she hugged him.

"Detective... I- I don't know what to say." Lucifer managed to get out.

"Some things don't have to be said. Just silent acceptance." Chloe smiled at him. "Can we talk somewhere more comfortable, yeah?"

"As you wish, Detective." He gave her a forced smile. He motioned his hand towards the living room. Chloe walked over to Trixie. "I'm going to put her to bed, okay."

Lucifer nodded. Chloe walked over and was about to wake up Trixie.

"Wait, Detective." Chloe turned at his words.

"Don't wake her up. I'll carry her." Before Chloe said anything Lucifer picked her up quietly. He carried her like a princess to her room. Chloe followed Lucifer to the door of Trixie's room. She watched him lay her down on a bed.

"Goodnight, Lucifer..." Trixie mumbled. As she moved to be more comfortable in her bed.

"Goodnight, Child." Lucifer patted her on the shoulder. He turned away from the child and looked at the Detective. Who looked beautiful standing there leaning against the door.

"Well, it seems the Devil isn't as Devilish as he thinks" Chloe quipped.

"Hilarious, Detective. To talking then." Lucifer motioned towards the living room.

"Right."

Chloe sat down on the couch, and Lucifer went to get a drink. "Detective, a drink always makes things better." He poured some wine into a glass. He sauntered over to Chloe. He smiled at her as he handed her a drink.

"Right, well. What do you want to know, Detective?" Lucifer asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, What would you like to ask the Devil? Linda asked me how I tortured Hitler. But no, I can't say I'll answer that. Nasty business, torturing."

"Well, I am not going to ask about that."

"You can't say your a little curious." Lucifer tempted.

"No. No." She held up her hand. Lucifer laughed. It was rich, and reminded her of times when she didn't know he was the Devil. "My Detective, but seriously what do you want to know?"

"Can I see it?"

"You'll have to specify. Detective show you what? Would you like to see something naughty?" Lucifer wriggled his eyebrows.

"Lucifer! I am being serious!" Chloe sounded shocked. She calmed herself down. "No seriously, Your face."

"My face, well your looking right at it." Lucifer avoided.

"No. The one you showed me when we were last with Marcus Pierce..." Chloe's voice died off.

"Well then. But I must warn It is-" Lucifer was caught off by Chloe.

"I've already seen it. I'm not scared of it." Chloe reassured him. She grabbed his hand.

"As you wish." He looked at her. He stared into her eyes, beautiful he thought. He will his face to appear. She looked at him, his handsome face turned burned and scarred. His eyes into crimson.

Chloe looked at him with no fear, and she held up her hand and touched it. She felt the burns and scars on his face, but only for a second. Lucifer pulled back from her hand, like he did with the scars on his back.

"Well Detective you becoming a lot of my firsts." Lucifer forced a teasing smile, and Chloe could tell.

"What's wrong, and be serious, Lucifer."

"Well no one has ever touched my face, not even our dear Mazikeen." Lucifer managed. Lucifer took a drink from the wine.

"And here I was thinking I was going to be the one needing that drink." Chloe smiled. She held out her hand again and turned his face towards hers.

"How did this happen?" Chloe asked.

"Well, I did this to myself." Lucifer answered. "As punishment for rebellion against my father. Unintentionally, of course."

"Lucifer, I- "

"It's okay, Detective, I actually got rid of it for a while because of you, but Marcus seems to have managed to bring it out. That was not the way you were meant to find out, and I'm sorry." Lucifer's devil face went away.

"Sorry for what? I got to now a friend better." Chloe held his hand. She looked at him and she saw fear and something else?

"Lucifer... are you okay?" Chloe asked.

"I'm fine, Detective." Lucifer said. He rubbed her knuckle. "Now it is a little late, I should really get going, and you need sleep." Lucifer stood up and offered her a hand.

Chloe grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

"Detective?"

"I get it you don't want to talk, but at least answer this, why are you afraid?"

"You." Lucifer whispered.

"Me? Why me?"

"You make me vulnerable. Not in the emotional sense, physically. I get hurt when I'm near you. Devil gets burned by fire, that was a first for me." Lucifer stated nonchalantly.

"How do I make you vulnerable?" Chloe asked in genuine curiosity.

"I've got a few ideas, but seriously, love... you need sleep, and we wouldn't want you to go to bed restless wanting answers. Now would we?" Lucifer walked away from her.

"I should get going." Lucifer opened the door outside, and without looking back shut it. Chloe stared at the door for a good few seconds, wanting him to comeback.

Chloe let a breath, and she guessed she should take a shower and change. As she was preparing for the shower, a thought hit her.

Well, look who's back. You didn't die after all. That makes one of us.

Chloe stopped. How much truth was in those words? It happened so long ago, but she remembered it so clearly. How much had he truly been hiding from her?

"Truth is, I went to Las Vegas And even though it was for a very good reason. And I didn't tell you because last time I went on a Vegas joint there were some unpleasant feelings involved. For both of us. And I didn't want to dredge up any of those again. So I... bluffed. But I've come to realize, bluffing is the same as lying and that's as you know something I never want to do. Especially to you."

He had put a warm hand on her and rubbed softly.

"Hello... Someone's been busy." Lucifer went away from the bed, and opened the safe. As he did, Chloe sat up and yawned.

"Oh? Perfect timing. You've woken up just in time for your surprise." He held out a small box wrapped in ribbon.

"A surprise? What surprise?"

"Forgive my tardiness, but I thought it prudent to deliver your gift in private." He sat down on the bed, and handed her the small container.

"Thank you." Chloe had told him. He had given her a small smile.

She glanced up at him before opening it. She held up what was in it. "Oh."

"It's beautiful."

"Oh, it's-" Lucifer started, but stopped himself.

Chloe had a look of confusion on her face. "What is it?"

"Well." He laughed a bit. "It's the bullet. From when you shot me, remember in the warehouse early in out partnership."

Chloe had a look of reminiscence on her face. "Oh... yeah" She nodded her head. "I remember."

"Well, I thought since I never likely penetrate you. I would commemorate the one time you penetrated me." Lucifer explained.

Chloe laughed at this. Lucifer laughed along with her.

"So, uh, Happy Birthday, Detective."

Chloe held up her arms in gesture for a hug. Lucifer obliged, only slightly reluctant.

And the rest, was history. But what else had he been "Bluffing" to her about?

She thought about it for a moment. "The necklace." She whispered.

Where had she put it? She felt her neck, it wasn't there. What had she done with it?

She thought about it. She had taken it off, for Pierce.

But where had she put it? She started looking for the jacket that she had worn that evening,when she rode home with Pierce.

She placed her hands it's pockets. Searching for the metal. It wasn't there. Had it fallen out?

No. That necklace might have been a joke, or symbol. She didn't care, she wanted it back.

Somewhere else in the City of Angels...

"Where would she be?" A voice asked, rich and benevolent.

"Maybe home, with her daughter. My-" He was muffled by the other person.

"Be quiet, you are here to help us find the key. It has to be destroyed, or the prophecy will not be fulfilled. If you don't want to go back to Hell, you will do as I ask." The person that had his hand on the humans mouth whispered into their ear.

The man let go of the human. He stumbled away from the man.

"But, I can't do that to her! She's..." The man on the ground was interrupted by the one standing up.

"I do not care what this human mean's to you. You will help us find her. Or else we can get a more vengeful soul, such as... I don't know, Pierce perhaps?"

"No! That murderer will be no where near her!" The man shouted in anger at the creature who loomed over him.

"Even though you know what we have to do to her?"

"I don't know I haven't seen her in years, decades. And I can't go back there." The man explained.

"Then where will I find Samuel?" The man asked.

"I don't know." The human admitted.

"I called her on one of those, "Phones" as you called them, Now where is the miracle?" The creature hissed.

"The phone number you called, belonged to the department I used to work for." The human finally let out.

"Where is this department?"

"It's the LAPD you can find a department in any county. I don't know which one it was, though."

"Fine, you have been useful, human. But's its a shame I have to do this to your daughter, John Decker."

"I just can't go back there." The man whispered. "You know what's it's like there, you sent your brother there."

"Do not remind me! Samuel forced my hand. My Father didn't want to send him there, but he was blinded by love. The prophecy will be fulfilled, we need to find the Key and destroy it, or her."

"Do what you must, Michael." He spoke the name with hate. "Just lock that Devil away, and back into Hell where he belongs, so Revelations can begin."

Michael despite his heavenly appearance had a wicked smile. "No, Revelations has already begun."

Okay, I know that is a really short chapter after a long update, but I have already started on chapter 4, and it's going to be extra long. I am hoping for 5,000 words minimum.

Review, tell me your thoughts.
