Anyways, onto the chapter.
Chapter two Los Angeles 2012-June "That girl is bumming everyone out Lucifer." Maze teased as she nibbled at his ear. The demon sat on the counter her hands climbing over her master as he sipped his whiskey. The lord of hell smirked at the demon's words, and actions. Her touch on his skin lighting the flames of hell that lay hidden in his soul. She bit his ear again and he turned and looked at her. A mischievous grin on his face.
"Why don't we go show her a good time, Maze." The demon hopped down from the bar eagerly as she tugged hard on the devil's arm.
Lux was packed full of people looking for "sin" as Lucifer referred to it. Countless people dancing, boozing, and just having a good time. Exactly the way Lucifer liked it. Full of people. Full of new promises. New desires to pull from them. Since his two years on earth, he had learned so much about humans. About what they wanted, about what dirty little secrets they hide behind their eyes. He had learned that all humans desire a bit of sin. A bit of lust, and a whole lot of passion. However, in a night full of all of those things one woman stood out in the crowd. Women that none of his dancers, male or female could tempt in the slightest.
She had sat there for an hour. Just staring at the drink Maze had brought her. Temptation from Lucifer to get her to sin. To live. However, the women hadn't even been tempted by that. She just stared at the drink, stirring it every now and then. For the most part, though she had remained still for the past hour. Ignoring any person that tried to communicate with her. Maze included. In the two years, they had run lux Lucifer and Maze had never witnessed that from a human before. You could say that deviance intrigued them. Maze smirked at Lucifer as they approached the table. Maze had always liked a challenge, and this woman defiantly was going to be one.
The woman a who Lucifer had figured was only about twenty-one. Had hair that could rival the sun itself in pure brightness. It was haphazardly pushed to one side on her face, loose curls that appeared to be natural going in every which way. She wore a simple blue top and cut up shorts. She wore no makeup. Which in honesty she didn't really need it. While the devil had seen a more stunning woman in his centuries. She wasn't too hard on the eyes. Though she did seem out of place amongst the model like women and men that surrounded her.
Lucifer to say the least was intrigued by her. A woman out of place. Not able to be swayed by him or his demon. "We'll see about that." He thought to himself as Maze and himself slipped into her booth.
The women immediately took her gaze from her drink and stared up at the two beings from hell. Her blue eyes blazing a sort of look Lucifer had never seen before.
"Um...hello?" The woman said hesitantly.
Lucifer flashed his iconic smile as Maze moved closer to the women.
"I think I could break her easily." Maze said as she slid into the booth and was but inches from the woman's face.
"Um...what?" The woman who moved away from Maze slightly, almost falling out of the booth in the process said.
"Down Maze, not just yet."
The demon crossed her arms and let out a soft groan. She moved back towards Lucifer as she stared the woman across from her down.
"Now what's a thing like you doing in a place like this?" Lucifer said as he folded his hands together.
"I don't really think that's your business."
The demon laughed a little at the woman's comment. "Oh, she's a bold one." Lucifer rolled his eyes at her comment and leaned forward a bit.
"Oh Luv, it most certainly is."
"Alright well, I'm not getting kidnapped, or dragged into the mafia tonight. So, goodbye." The woman grabbed the purse that had been laying by her feet and moved out of the booth. However, before she could fully stand she was pushed back down by Maze. Who had flung herself over the table in a split second.
"Sit mortal." Maze said anger in her eyes.
"Mortal?" The woman said with a look of shock from the fact that this woman had just thrown herself over the table at lightening speed.
"I'm sorry I think we got off on the wrong foot," Lucifer said as he sipped his scotch.
"Yeah, you could say that." The woman scoffed as she folded her arms.
"Lucifer Morningstar, at your service," Lucifer said as he extended his hand out her.
She raised an eyebrow. "Lucifer...Morningstar?"
Lucifer groaned a little. "Why is it that everyone gets so hung up on the name?" Maze shrugged a little.
"Maybe because it's the devil's name."
"Ah, a religious type?"
The woman scoffed. "Not by choice I assure you. The family is devout Catholics they refuse to let me or another of my other siblings be any other way." She leaned back a little into the booth, trying to relax slightly. Even though the man sitting across from her had the same name as the creature her parents blamed every bad thing on.
"So you're not religious yourself?" Lucifer asked intrigued by her previous comment.
"Not anymore." She said as she unfolded her arms. "Can I ask what this has to do with anything."
"We noticed…"
"You're being completely boring." Mazes interrupted.
"Yes exactly." Lucifer retorted as he gave his demon a slight glance of annoyance.
The woman shrugged a little. "I guess. But why does that give you any right to come over here and start asking all these questions?"
Maze laughed loudly at that. Never had the devil himself been talked to in such a manner. Most people even after just learning his name tended to tenses up. Freeze in place. Not able to defend them when this started to get heated. However, this woman wasn't that way. She refused to let him push her in any way. Even if it was just asking questions about herself.
Lucifer let out a soft sigh. Never had someone been this hard to break before. He knew that he was gonna have to do this the easy way, instead of the hard way. He places both elbows on the table and leaned forward. His dark eyes looking into hers.
"Tell me, what is it that you desire."
The girl froze as Lucifer started to pull out her inner most desires.
"W-what I want…" she stammered a little.
"Yes, darling. Tell what you truly desire." Lucifers smirk grew as he leaned closer towards the women. His powers on full force trying to drag out every little morsel of what her true desires were.
"I want...more than anything...is to die."
The devil immediately pulled back. Not expecting that at all. A girl born and raised as a Catholic wishing to take her own life. While he wasn't one to learn about his father's followers, he was aware of what Catholics thought of taking one's own life. While he was sickened by the idea of a damaged soul suffering more than they already were. He knew his father didn't take kindly to his creations throwing away what he had given them. Though this never led to any of those souls going to hell. Unless they did truly deserve it. He, of course, made sure of that.
Maze turned and looked at Lucifer a look of shock also on her face. The demon was also not expecting that to be this human's deepest darkest desire.
Lucifer cleared his throat a little and turned his focus back to the girl. "Now, why do you want that?"
She looked back at him. Her blue eyes piercing his with a look of pure sadness. "Because what's the point?"
"So, then why don't you go and do it?" Maze blurted "Um...excuse me?" The women said clearly having a look of hurt and shock on her face.
Lucifer glared at Maze. A hint of hellfire that only she could see in his eyes. Though Maze ignored it and allowed another senseless comment out of her mouth.
The girl quickly rose to her feet and took off. Not saying another word to them.
"Mazikien!" Lucifer growled as his eyes pierced red.
"What?" The demon asked with a shrug. "All humans are gonna die at some point. Why does it matter when it happens."
"It matters because a life shouldn't end so quickly." He growled again.
The demon just sneered at him. "When did you start caring for these creatures?"
"I'm not. However telling them what to do and how to do is my Father's business. Even if one wants to do something such as taking their own life. We don't push them that way Maze. It only leads to trouble."
Maze just rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She said before getting up and walking away.
Lucifer sighed and sipped his scotch again. Part of him wanted to go to after her, though Maze was right. When did he, the lord of hell start caring about these humans? The very creatures that were the reason he fell in the first place, well at least part of ignored his urges to go after her and stayed in the booth. The blaring noise of the club slowly fading away in his mind, as he drifted into his own deep thought.
"Um, sir is this your building?"
Lucifer had zoomed out for who knows how long. Not paying attention to anything that had been happening around him. His mind lost in what had happened with the girl from earlier. He knew Maze should be punished later for what she had said. Though he only planned to punish her in the bedroom. Though he was sure the girl was fine. Humans were always consumed by their emotions. Not able to control their own feelings for longer than a few moments. He had seen this type of thing happen numerous time, and nothing had ever come of it.
"Sir."
Lucifer finally pulled himself out of his own mind when the voice spoke then did Lucifer notice it was a police officer.
He flashed a devilish smile at the male officer. "Ah, yes the entertainment is here."
The officer didn't seem to be amused by that. He scowled at Lucifer before speaking again. "Sir, this is your building correct?"
"Why, yes it is officer. And what is it that I may help you with."
"There's a girl on the roof."
"Bloody hell!"
The cool breeze of the early summer morning blew Callie's hair in every which way as she clutched her toes on the edge of the building. That man inside. The man that named himself after the devil had been correct. She scoffed a little. Thinking for a moment that maybe her families words about the way Callie had been feeling being the devil's work could possibly be true. Though she knew in all reality it was just there way of blaming the devil for things they couldn't understand.
They had always done that. Her entire life anything that had gone wrong was 'the devil's work' which Callie had always thought was absurd why would the devil bother with petty things such as human emotions? She shook her head realizing that this wasn't the time to let her family's religious brainwashing get to her.
No, this was a time to finally be free from all of that. To be free from her family. The lonely existence she had. Free from the pain she had suffered through for the past five years. To no longer be nothing but a disappointment to her family. To no longer be the child that had never done what her parents wanted her to do. This was the time for all of that to be over. She took a deep sigh, as she closed her eyes.
"You know, that's really not wise." A suave man spoke from behind her.
Callie immediately stepped back from the edge. "What the hell?"
"Oh, no need to bring my old job into this Luv," Lucifer said as he flashed a smile.
She groaned a little. "Just what I need right now. The guy who calls himself the devil."
"Not just calls Luv," Lucifer spoke softly as he took a few slow steps towards her.
She rolled her eyes at him. "Right, yeah sure. And I thought my family were the nutty ones."
"Trust me you're not the only one with family issues," Lucifer said with a scoff. The wind picking up and pushing Lucifer's coat in the wind. Callie wrapped her arms around her tightly as she stared towards the ground.
"Ok, if you are somehow the devil. Answer this for me. If I jump where do I go?"
Lucifer was puzzled by her question. It was odd for a human to just go and accept the fact that he the literal devil. Thought Lucifer chalked that off to the fact that she was in a moment of weakness and pain. A type of pain Lucifer felt all the too often.
"What does your family believe?" Lucifer said firmly. He took another step towards her. The wind picking up a bit more.
"That if I take my own life. Take away the gift God has given me, I will go to hell."
Lucifer couldn't help but laugh. Callie scowled at him a little. He saw that and stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry, but why all you humans believe that I will never know."
"So, I won't go to hell?" She said turning her attention to the tall dark possible devil that stood behind her."
"Of course not, Luv. I make sure souls that are damaged like yours go where the belong. To heaven. Though I think it's overrated, you lot seem to like the idea a whole lot. That way you get the rest they deserve." It was true. Lucifer had been doing it for centuries. He never thought those who had suffered like that should go to hell. Of course, those who suffered and hurt others as a result did. However, souls like the girl in front of him didn't.
She let out a soft sigh and stepped closer to the edge. Lucifer's eyes went wide, but before he could even blink the girl collapsed onto the ground of the roof. Lucifer blinked once or twice before he saw what had caused the girl to collapse. Maze had clean struck her on the back of the head. A blow hard and fast enough to knock the girl out, but not cause her any harm.
"Bloody hell, Maze."
"What? You didn't want her to jump off did you?"
Lucifer carried the women downstairs, after assuring all the officers and EMT's that she would be perfectly safe from self-harm in his care. He was a little baffled at how they accepted that so easily, though it must have been his devilish charm giving him an extra hand as always. He carried her to one of the many sweets in his building. Ignoring mazes protests. Though reassuring her saying it was only for the night.
He took her to one of the sweet and gently laid her down on the bed. He pushed some of the hair that had fallen in front of her face, off to the side. As he did he noticed something.
On the back of her neck, was something that made the devil himself wince. On the back of her neck was a branding, of a cross.
"Bloody hell." He whispered trying his best to keep his voice down. Her family. Religious wankers his arse, these people were far worse than that.
