"You innocent little human," She almost rolled her eyes at him. He was looking at her like she had just asked if Texas was in South America. She didn't appreciate it and she would have told anyone else to go fuck themselves. Chuck may have designed her to be kind, but he didn't leave any room for a lack of self respect.
"Yeah, I'm stupid. Got it," Her tone was much harsher than intended, but she decided to stick with it. Lucifer wiped a tear from his eye and gestured for her to come to him.
Elizabeth made sure the sheet was securely around her and covering all the important parts as she got out of bed. Once she got close enough Lucifer pulled her to him, an amused smile still playing on his lips.
"Do you love me, angel?" He still seemed to think it was funny.
Elizabeth thought about it. Every time he touched her she felt at peace. She thought about how beautiful his voice was. She considered the fact that this might not work at all and Lucifer will likely be killed or locked away forever again. Her chest tightened at the thought and her brows furrowed.
"Yes," She answered without looking at him. He tipped her chin up so she was forced to stare straight into his eyes.
"Why?" He didn't look like he believed her.
"I thought about what would happen if I didn't save you," She blinked hard, tears rising in her eyes despite herself. "And it hurt," Lucifer's amusement faded away. His eyes searched hers and he raised a hand to her face, stroking his thumb across her cheek. His jaw tightened and his eyes hardened before he released her.
"I found this," Lucifer held up the scrap of paper Crowley had given to her. "You've been playing with demons. I want to know who," He insisted. The look on his face told her she better not lie to him, but she sure as hell didn't want to get Crowley caught. He was, in a way, her friend. She took a deep breath before answering.
"Crowley," Lucifer turned fully to look at her.
"And how do you know Crowley?" The tension in the room rose to dangerous levels.
"We work together occasionally. I've known him for years," Lucifer's nose wrinkled in disgust and the note he was holding burst into flames, the embers burning out before they touched the floor.
"Where is he?" He asked, luckily not set off by her answer.
"I don't know. He dropped me outside of town-"
Before she could finish Lucifer was gone. She wondered where to until she heard yelling somewhere else in the building. Whatever power play they were in Crowley had one upped him and he wasn't going to stand for it.
Elizabeth sighed heavily and perched on the edge of the bed. Once she got to looking around she realized how old the building must be. The floor looked slightly slanted and it was clear just from looking at them that a few boards were out of place. The wallpaper was gaudy and peeled in some places. All that was in the room was the bed, a wardrobe, a nightstand, a chair, a radiator, and a few awful paintings. It did, however, have its own bathroom, which Elizabeth learned after a scalding shower also had no ventilation.
Elizabeth left the bathroom door open and pried open the two windows in the main room. It would be a good while before that bathroom dried out. In the meantime, she needed to find clothes. Naturally, the wardrobe was the first place she looked. Luckily for her, though Lucifer could heal himself he couldn't 'heal' clothes.
"Like a damn cartoon character," She grumbled to herself as she found he had tons of the same outfit and that was all. She pulled on one of his green, button up shirts and left the sleeves rolled down. Unfortunately there really wasn't anything else lying around that she was suited to wear. She could have gone and found a female demon and asked for help, but, hell, she wasn't that crazy.
A ringing diverted her thoughts. She stood in the center of the room trying to figure out where it was coming from. She tiptoed closer to the bed and it got louder. Crouching down she fished around under the bed, her hand coming in contact with something soft. She pulled out her bag containing her ringing cell phone and looked at it for a moment in bewilderment. Was Lucifer stupid or did he just forget cell phones exist?
