Obey Me - Brothers and Sister (BEING REWRITTEN)

Part 9

WARNING - GORE

"Well look at that Luci~ It's been so long since I've seen my work hm?" Loretta smiled wickedly. Lucifer tried covering it up, reaching for his shirt, but one of her gang members ripped it with their bare hands. "Tell me Lucifer, should I resume my work?" She asked as she brought her whip out, caressing it softly. The whip hit his back and he held in his cry, masking himself with an unfazed expression, making it hurt worse. "Ah, still too much Pride? Back in the celestial realm you didn't care about what people thought of you, you made sure everyone was happy, even if you weren't so much. What was that called...OH! Humility, that's what it was called. You were humble, a virtue that was highly respected if it was from an angel as high rank as you were. You, my son, we're your father's favorite, now look at what you've become." She cackled, cracking a whip on his back after every syllable. Lucifer's heart stung more than his back did. Lucifer grabbed the whip and yanked it away from Loretta and slashed it across her face. She stumbled back a bit and her goons shot after Lucifer. Lucifer took on the 30 demons that his mother had with her like a champ, but he didn't come out unscathed. His stomach was bruised and his once closed war scars were present and bleeding all over again. The goons were rolling on the floor, laughing at his pathetic stated, but also groaning in pain. "It's over mom, give up, you cant hurt us anymore. WE AREN'T WEAK AND IMPRESSIONABLE KIDS ANYMORE, WE KNOW YOUR TACTICS, WE KNOW YOUR MANIPULATIONS, WE KNOW IT ALL!"  Lucifer screamed, blood dripping down his chin. 'How am I still bleeding? These wounds should have already been healed.' Lucifer thought to himself. "You must be wondering why you're still bleeding like a human would hm?" Loretta smiled, cracking the whip on his back again. "Your wounds are all open, you look the same as you did when you fell! Guess what Lucifer, the bleeding won't stop until they are closed, but I won't let that happen." Loretta laughed as she kept beating on him. She kicked him, sending him flying back a couple of feet, a pair of arms caught him and slammed him on the floor. "Zalgo..." Lucifer said in disbelief. The demon above him said nothing and joined his wife, beating on Lucifer while many other demons held him down, still Lucifer didn't cry, he didn't flinch, all he did was fight back silently, listening to the laughs of the demons around him. 

Hours and hours of Lucifer not giving up, he would die before his mother even got near his siblings. He punched one of the goons, knocking them out completely. It was the last one, it was just him, his mother, and Zalgo. Lucifer was exhausted, mentally and physically, there was no way he could continue without expressing pain. Pride crawled inside him, like bugs scampering around, preventing him from showing any sign of weakness, when all he wanted to do was cry and scream with every hit he took, with all the pressure on his shoulders. He wanted to ask for help, but what does he do? He makes sure nobody knows, he takes on even more. The eldest was bleeding and bruising excessively. If he were human he would have been dead already. But he was so strong willed. He saw his mother ball up her fist as his vision was blurring. 'This might be it.' His words from earlier filled his head. The punch sent him flying, the last thing he saw was Lord Diavolo, Barbatos, and the royal military rushing in, about to take down Loretta and Zalgo. 

Diavolo was fidgeting with an ink pen on his desk, it's been 2 hours since Lucifer left and he was getting so anxious. He couldn't take it anymore and slammed his fist on his desk hard, startling Barbatos, who was lost in thought thinking of Victoria. "M-my Lord, is everything alright?" Barbatos asked, eyes wide with worry and shock. "Get the military Barbatos, if Lucifer can't come to us then we are going to him." Diavolo ordered, his facial expression stone cold. "Right away my Lord." Barbatos bowed briskly walked out of the room. "This isn't it Lucifer. You are collecting your promise." Diavolo said to no one in particular. The military team marched out of the castle and rushed to the House of Lamentation, with Lord Diavolo and Barbatos following them. The military took down Loretta and Zalgo, half struggling because of how persistent the duo was. "Barbatos, wait here and alert me if anyone else arrives."  "Yes my Lord." Barbatos nodded and went on stand-by. Diavolo rushed to Lucifer and held him up, seeing his exposed wounds for the first time ever since the fall. Lucifer woke up to Diavolo struggling to keep him sitting upright. Lucifer saw the way he was lying on his back, he saw Diavolo trying to ask him questions like "Are you alright?" and "Don't worry we're going to get you help." Despite the words being intended to comfort and put him at ease, it did the exact opposite. Lucifer sees flashbacks to both the war and his fall, and sent him into a full panic attack.
