A Darker Beginning

A/N: This story contains past sexual assault

Lucifer felt a shiver go down his spine when he saw her. She was just feet away from him dancing in his club, and it made him sick to his stomach. He didn't want her there. He never thought he'd see her again, and he was glad for that fact. But here she was. Part of his living worst nightmare had returned. Eve was back.

Lucifer remembered Eve like he'd met her yesterday. She wasn't the first human he met like most thought. That would be him. Even speaking his name made Lucifer sick to his stomach. Meeting him had been the worst thing to ever happen to Lucifer. You would think that would be his fall, but it wasn't. It was… that.

Flashback

Samael knew he should not be going into the Garden. His father had forbid it since he first created the two humans who resided there, but he was curious. His father cared for his new creation so much, to the point where he didn't really spend a lot of time with the rest of them anymore. Samael wanted to know what was so special about them. They must be able to do something great if his father was so proud of them.

Samael ventured through the Garden for several minutes. He didn't see anyone anywhere. He was almost ready to give up and go back when he heard a voice.

"Hello," a voice called out.

Samael turned around to see a man behind him. He looked much like Samael himself, only without wings, and the man looked older than him, though Samael knew he wasn't older. He didn't look like he was anything special. "Hello."

The man smiled and walked towards him. "You must be an angel."

"Archangel," Samael said proudly. There was a difference, and Samael would make this being knew it."

"You're cute," the man said.

"You look like us," Samael commented.

"Oh, I don't know. I don't have these pretty wings," he said as he reached over and ran a hand through his feathers.

Samael immediately took a step back, feeling uncomfortable. No one was supposed to touch an angel's wings. Well, his mother or father could, but when they did it, it was to groom them, or heal them if they were hurt. The way this man touched them was different. It felt wrong. "Don't do that."

"What's your name. I'm Adam."

"S…Samael," he said.

"Samael. I think your father mentioned you once. You're his favorite. I can see why. You're beautiful," Adam said as he advanced on him.

Samael continued to back up. He didn't know what this man wanted, but he felt he had bad intentions.

"If you hurt me, your father will be angry with you. If you run, I'll tell him you were here, and he'll be angry," Adam said.

Samael felt trapped. Both those things were true. His father had already said that he wouldn't allow harm to come to his new creation, and he'd also told them to stay out of the Garden. Samael was in a lot of trouble right now.

"You and I are going to get along great, Samael," Adam said as he reached his hand back into his wings.

Samael tried to pull away, but Adam had grabbed his arm with his free hand, holding him in place. By the time it was over, Samael would regret ever coming into the Garden.

Flashback

Lucifer shivered as he remembered the past. That had only been the first of many nightmarish incidents with Adam, and later with Eve. Adam knew how to control him. He made sure Lucifer believed that what happened was his fault, and he'd told him his father would believe the same. He'd gotten Lucifer to keep coming back by telling him that he would tell his father, and that his father would take Adam's side. Lucifer had believed him.

Lucifer was pulled out of his thoughts as Eve walked towards him. He immediately stepped back. He didn't want her near him. Her role wasn't as prominent as Adam's, but she still hurt him, and he wanted nothing to do with her. "Wh…What are you doing here?"

"Hey. I thought I'd come see you," Eve said as she went to touch him.

"Don't!" Lucifer said as he stepped back and unconsciously pulled his robe closed. He really wished he'd gotten dressed when he came downstairs, but he wasn't planning on running into her.

"What's wrong?" Eve asked.

Lucifer could hardly believe she could even ask that given all that had happened. He knew she'd always been pretty oblivious, but did she really not understand why he wouldn't want her near him?

Lucifer wanted to get away from Eve, but he supposed he did need to know why she was on Earth and how she got there, and he couldn't have that conversation with her in the middle of LUX. As much as it filled him with bile, he had to take her upstairs. "Come with me."

"Sure," Eve said with a smile.

Lucifer led her to the elevator and to the penthouse. Once they were inside, Lucifer headed for his bedroom. He was not willing to have any type of conversation with Eve in his robe and boxers. "Wait here."

Once in his bedroom, Lucifer locked the door, just in case Eve tried to follow him. He grabbed some pants and a dress shirt and began getting dressed. His hands made it difficult, as they were shaking. He hated that. He was not that same boy that Adam and Eve harmed. He had no reason to be afraid. He supposed it wasn't fear he felt. It was revulsion.

Once he was dressed, Lucifer sat on his bed to try to compose himself before forcing himself to go out to the living room.

"I liked you better the way you were," Eve said.

Lucifer barely managed to choke down the bile that made its way to his throat. "Why are you here, Eve? How did you get here?"

"Well, I found a way to leave Heaven. It was way too boring up there. Adam's gotten so dull, so I left him," she said.

"So, he's still there?" Lucifer asked hopefully. While it was difficult, he could handle Eve. He wasn't sure he could handle seeing Adam. Let him stay in Heaven. It sickened him that people like Adam and Eve could make it into Heaven. It was proof that the system was deeply flawed. The only thing you needed to get into Heaven was lack of guilt. It didn't surprise him that Adam had none. As for Eve, she probably thought she'd done nothing wrong. Adam told her it was okay after all.

"Yeah. We drifted apart," Eve said.

Lucifer listened to her rattle on about Adam and Heaven for a few minutes. Well, he was half listening anyway. Most of him was focusing on not emptying the contents of his stomach onto the floor. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. "Why are you here, Eve?"

"I told you," Eve said.

"No, why did you come here, to my club," Lucifer asked. He refused to believe that she ended up here by accident. He knew she didn't. She came to see him. He wanted to know why, and then he wanted her gone. He wanted her to disappear from his life again, so that he could go back to pretending she didn't exist.

"Well, I figured that we had a lot of fun before and we could…"

"Fun?" Lucifer asked in disbelief, almost as if he'd never heard the concept before. "You think that was at all fun for me?!"

"Yeah. Wasn't it?" Eve asked.

Lucifer couldn't even respond. He'd already come to the conclusion that Eve didn't think what she did was wrong, but he found it astounding that she actually thought he enjoyed what they did to him. "You need to leave…"

"But, Luce…"

"No! I will call you a ride and have you taken to the nearest hotel. I will even give you money to pay for it, but you need to go. And tomorrow, you need to leave LA and never come back. I don't want to see you again," Lucifer said.

Eve looked hurt by his words. "You don't mean that."

"What you did was not fun for me, Eve! It was Hell! And I've been to the actual place of Hell. It has nothing on you and Adam! I want you gone," Lucifer said before taking out his phone to get her a ride. He needed her gone as soon as possible. If he thought he could stomach touching her, he'd fly her to the other side of the world.
