Speak easy

The girl were sat at the bar in Veronica's speak easy laughing and joking when a man walked on and Veronica paused.
"Well hello there. Cute blonde 3 o'clock." Betty and Charlotte looked over and Charlotte gasped.
"Charlotte do you know him?" She got up walking towards him and he smiled noticing her.
"I had a feeling I would find you here." He stated taking her hand in his placing a kiss on her hand.
"Caliban. What are you doing here?" He looked around and huffed.
"Drink with me. Don't raise suspicion." She nodded sitting at a table and nodding to the girls to show she was okay. "They've found you." She panicked for a moment and he reached for her hand "don't react. Be very calm. There are 3 demons in disguise watching your every move. You need to act as normal and don't let them see you use magic." She gave a nod and took a sip of her drink.
"Have you heard from nick?" Caliban took a heavy breath and she knew the awnser was not a good one.
"Did prudence tell you about the battle to seal hell?" She gave a nod looking to her friends. "Before the gates were closed your lover was captured. He is with lucifer." Her breath caught in her throat, she could feel the panic begin to take over and Caliban finally took her hand. "Stay calm. He is safe. I have people watching over him. I will not allow any harm come to the man you love, my queen." She stood up from her seat and push her hair back.
"I need a moment. Excuse me." She walked to the rest room and broke into a cry. Her breathing began to quicken as she sound herself panicking all at once a horrific scream left her throat and the mirrors around her smashed.
"Well well. How the mighty have fallen." She whipped around looking to the man before.
"Father." He smiled at the young girl.
"Hello daughter."

"Where did she go?" Betty said looking back to the now empty table. Caliban appeared next to them.
"She's gone to powder her nose. Apologies for interrupting your evening ladies." The lights flickered for a moment and he narrowed his eyes. "Who owns this establishment?"
"Me" Veronica looked to the guy in confusion.
"Best to get everyone out of here as soon as possible. Im afraid the devil is upon riverdale."

"You have him?" Lucifer chuckled in response to her question.
"And you have the allegiance of my court." She kept her back against the wall as he spoke.
"I don't want it. You know I don't I just-"
"Shhh shh shh... I know what you want. You what the warlock and to live a happily ever after. I understand my dear child." He push the hair out of her face. "I have another option." She seemed hopeful for a moment before he spoke again. "Provide an heir." She recoiled looked to her father.
"What." He chuckled stepping back.
"Caliban would make a fine father don't you think?"
"But... Nick-"
"Morals have nothing to do with this, daughter. If you want the warlock... provide an heir. Then I will consider."
"And if I don't..." he turned to face her again.
"You will be forced into a life you do not wish to have. You will rot in the deepest pit of hell only bought back to provide more children for the throne." She stood tall and looked at him through narrowed eyes.
"You would condemn your own blood..."
"I want my throne. And I am not afraid to do whatever possible to get it."
"Let me speak with Nick. And I will give you my awnser. Allow me this and you can have your heir." He smiled with a nod.
"The church 3 am. If you miss it. There will be heaven to pay." He disappeared and she finally took a breath sinking to her knees.
"Charlotte. Charlotte what happened." The three came rushing in attempting to help her.
"My father just paid me a visit..."
