I do not own Lucifer.
It was very late that night when Lilith finally made it up to the penthouse. The music had healed her slightly, maybe some sleep would fix the rest. She walked out of the elevator and saw Lucifer sitting at the bar, an empty glass in front of him.
Was she supposed to say something to him?
"I'm still trying to figure out how Mother got out of Hell." Lucifer called out to the room, was he aware she was there?
Well, she could answer that question. But Lilith wasn't proud and it would lead to other questions. She swallowed her pride. "Samael got her out."
Lucifer whirled to face her. "What?" She could see anger written on his face. "Who gave him the authority? That is a punishable offense, he's a demon with no power. He has no regard for the laws of Hell. What could she possibly have said for him to do that?"
"Because she is delusional." Lilith spat the worlds out. "Seeing things that aren't true. Thinking she knows me better than I know myself."
"I don't follow."
"She talked her way out of her cell by telling Samael lies. He wanted to prove her wrong so he let her go."
"What lies did she tell?" Lucifer was still confused on where this conversation was going.
"That Daddy's offer is my deepest desire." The words still tasted horrible. And she felt the need to drink, something to calm her down. Lucifer just stared at her. "What? You look like you want to ask me something. Spit it out."
Maybe now was the time to ask the one question that had been bugging him for a while. "Do you regret leaving Heaven with me?"
The tension in the room could be cut with a knife. That was the million dollar question and Lilith would have given anything not to answer it.
Everything changed in that silence.
Lilith couldn't be in the same room, she headed to the staircase.
"Lilith…" Lucifer wasn't sure how to feel. So far, it was just betrayal. He had to stop her, make her answer. Instantly, he blocked her path. "You owe me an answer."
"Get out of my way." She growled. "I don't owe you anything." She didn't need to answer him, she was allowed to keep some secrets to herself.
Didn't owe him anything? How could she be this disrespectful? Lilith always knew how far she could get with him, she liked to touch the line. But this. This was crossing and burning the line. What choice did he have to deal with her?
One touch sent Lilith flying across the room and into a chair. Lucifer stood in front of her. "Answer me." He didn't have to yell, his voice echoed enough.
Lilith stuck her chin out, defiantly.
His hands slammed down on hers, he was not backing down. She was not moving until she told him the truth. And his eyes turned red.
For the first time her very long life, Lilith was terrified of her brother. Now she knew she was in trouble and understood why the guilty felt. She knew better than to attempt to struggle but that didn't mean she had to talk. And above all, she couldn't break the eye contact, she couldn't be weak.
Her eyes suddenly dropped and one word escaped her lips.
"Yes."
Lucifer's jaw fell open and he let go of her wrists. What was he supposed to say now? He could barely look at her.
Lilith sat there, letting the weight of her one word sink in. When she finally looked up, she realized she was alone. She had been so absorbed in herself, she didn't hear Lucifer leave. Where had he gone?
They didn't talk the next day, not that Lilith was surprised. Lucifer wouldn't even look at her.
So she stayed in a corner booth, lost in her own thoughts. Was she wrong for feeling the way she did about everything?
"What happened between you and Lucifer?" Charlotte appeared next to her.
Lilith was not going to have that conversation with her mother, the person who put them in the situation that ruined everything. She got up and walked away.
"Lily, I'm trying to look out for you. You look like hell, what happened? Maybe I can help."
"I never needed your help."
"Lily, are you having feelings? Regrets?" Charlotte asked, touching her daughter's shoulder and turning her around. "You are. You are an angel, you are not supposed to care."
Lilith pulled her shoulder back and walked away. She didn't have to hear it.
"And we thought Eve was weak." Her mother mocked. She said it loud enough for Lilith to hear without raising her voice.
Lilith froze and lifted her eyes up. That was it, no more nice angel. No more nice daughter. She was done. If Charlotte wanted a fight, she got one.
The dagger came out of her boot and flew at Charlotte. She ducked but that didn't save her from being thrown into a wall. Lilith was fast, maybe faster than lightning. The dagger was back in her hand while the other was around Charlotte's throat.
All eyes in the packed club were now on the two woman fighting.
"You are so predictable Lily." Charlotte threw Lilith off of her and pinned her face first into the bar. "I thought you were going to be grateful, I'm doing this for you. This is what you want, isn't it?" Lilith didn't answer, she couldn't give her mother the satisfaction of being right. "Maybe you were right, maybe you don't belong in Heaven. Then you don't need these."
Lilith felt a sharp stab in her back, right at her wings. No, this was not happening, this could not be happening. A scream escaped her lips.
The pain was short lived. Charlotte was thrown off of her. Lilith crumbled to the ground but looked up to see Lucifer standing between them. Son caught between mother and daughter.
Her eyes went from Lucifer to Lilith and back. "Is this where you both stand? Against your mother?" Lucifer only nodded. "Well, you turned against your Father once, why should I be surprised about this? You can both go down with the rest of the world, see if I care." Charlotte snarled and left the club.
The club goers were scared and unsure what to do next. Lucifer looked around and made the decision. "Lux is closed, we will reopen tomorrow night."
No one thought twice and headed to the door.
He turned to Lilith. "Are you alright?"
"You're talking to me again?" Lilith got to her feet.
Lucifer didn't answer. He touched her back and felt blood. "You're hurt, let's get you upstairs."
She sat on the table as Lucifer cleaned up her bloody wings. "There's only one kind of blade that can cut wings. Did you bring one with you?" He asked.
"No, I asked Maze, she had a few."
Lucifer only sighed. "Yes, I am talking to you again. You're my sister, a very convincing liar."
"You know I would never do anything to hurt you." Lilith had never been so honest with him before. It felt good.
"I know. You should go change, this dress has blood on it now."
Lilith nodded and headed upstairs. She showered and let the water run through her wings. Slowly, she began to feel normal.
Twenty minutes later she stepped out and pulled on a clean dress. Her hands went to the dresser to grab her rings. But she only felt one.
Panicked she searched for the other four. And Lilith cursed loudly.
"That was quite a show. Now your mother is out there, probably going to cause some havoc. What are we going to do?" Maze asked, not looking forward to a battle for the first time.
"I don't know. I don't know what she is currently capable of or what kind of weapons she has…" Lucifer began but was cut short when Lilith burst back into the club.
"They are gone!" She screamed.
"Lilith, we have bigger problems than you misplacing trinkets." He was calm, he was preoccupied.
"Lucifer!" Lilith yelled again. He looked up at her, she was showing off her hands "The Horsemen are gone!"
If it was possible for the devil to go pale, now was the time. Charlotte, she stole the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from her own daughter and was going to end the world.
"We have to stop her! Get the Horsemen back!" Lilith was at her wit's end. Her mother was not going to succeed.
OMG!
