Violet's POV

After I wiped away my tears, Ion walked me down the white marble grand staircase with a protective arm around my waist. "What do you mean by 'others'?" I asked, looking up to him as we stepped down onto the parquet floor.

Leaning down he kissed me on top of the head. "The other Sins. Ah, except my sister Iona, who is not quite ready to come topside yet." We stopped in front of the doorway to the living room, the same room where Karrack had almost killed me.

There, rising from one of the couches was Kent, Layla, and Gavin.

All three smiled at us both and then Gavin straightened his throat. "Ah yes, Gavin. You haven't met Violet yet, have you?" Ion asked him, as Gavin held his hand out for mine. Reaching out, I took his hand and he flipped it over to kiss my fingertips.

Stopping, he turned and looked back to Kent and Layla. But it was Layla that spoke up. "Yeah asshole, she's half-Fae. We know already." She looked up at Kent grinning.

Very softly, he kissed my fingertips and smiled up at me. "Please excuse me for that Violet, it just came as such a surprise since a certain female didn't notify me of it via text the way she usually does." He gave me a genuine smile that reached his eyes.

Just then, Liam walked in with Jonas trailing not too far behind, although Jones seemed a bit on the embarrassed side. Jumping over the leather couch to 'plop' onto it with his legs up on the cushions, Liam chuckled at the pink in Jonas's cheeks. Slapping Liam's legs off the couch, Jonas took a seat and turned back to Ion and me. "I don't mean to seem rude Ion, but why is Violet here at a Sin meeting this is all a bit odd... We haven't had a meeting since..."

Ion nodded sadly "Yes since Iona died and went back for a new body shall we say. Which reminds me, I heard from the demon Baal a few days ago. Iona should be surfacing very soon... Anyway, Violet is here with good reason. She was visited by Lucifer a short time ago upstairs. So now we may have two problems on our hands."

"How so? I mean, if he came to see her, well then..." Layla trailed off.

"Because he said that soon I'd be doing his bidding. Which means it could be something he wants me to do against you, or to impede you somehow." I spoke up, shivering a bit now that all eyes were on me.

"Thank you, Violet. You will serve me well in the future." The deep seductive voice of Lucifer said, as he levitated in the broken window, busted out by Karrack. He entered the room, not caring that he was walking on glass shards.

Ion stepped in front of me as if he could stop Lucifer from reaching me. "What are you doing here, Lucifer?" His body stiffened as moved forward blocking him from those that were guests in his own home.

"Lust (Ion), I think you and the others all know 'why' I am here. You were all unleashed upon this Earth to gain in strength by influencing the humans and other species." He finished off while smiling, which was even more unnerving.

"So you felt us regain our demon status, I see. And yes, I realize why we are here but-" Lucifer shut Ion up with a raised hand.

"Do you really think I need you coming down to hell where your influence can't be felt? Especially when I am so close to obtaining my goal of a full Apocalypse? Sorry, but I can't afford that, so without further ado-" Lucifer snapped his fingers and all of the Sins began to convulse where they were, horribly.

Dropping to my knees beside Ion I looked up at Lucifer and yelled, "Why, damn you? This wasn't necessary!" His black tail whipped out and wrapped around my waist squeezing me tightly as it raised me into the air before him.
