THE DEVIL'S SON

CHAPTER 19

San had just come out of the tub and was still naked when Lucifer appeared out of nowhere.

"And you could not wait until I got dressed." He said grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist.

Lucifer seemed stressed and maybe even...scared. San had never seen him like this before. He was walking back and forth and then abruptly he stopped.

"Lucian is alive." He breathed.

San paused. "Alive? How? I can still not sense him."

"I don't know how he does it but he better keep doing it now that the curse is broken, or else..." Lucifer clenched his fists.

Or else the demons would try to kill him now that the curse was not protecting him anymore. The curse didn't only keep Irene and Lucifer from meeting their son but every other demon as well, and since Lucian was half witch he was basically an enemy.

Witches and demons never mixed well and while witches protected their kind no matter what demons never took risks, even with their own kind. Anyone who could be a threat needed to be wiped away and quickly, especially if they had anything to do with witches.

"San, as soon as you sense Lucian I want you to summon everyone and if anyone shows a rebellious behaviour get rid of them."

San nodded. He could sense Lucifers uneasiness.

Once Lucifer wanted to kill his own son, not because he hated him but because he knew he would suffer a lot and wanted to save him from that. He knew that being the son of the devil and a witch would never allow him to live a normal peaceful life and that both witches and demons would try to eliminate him. But while hesitating to kill his own son Irene's mother was able to put a curse preventing any demon to come near Lucian.

San wasn't sure if Lucifer was happy to see his son alive or if he regretted hesitating, causing his son to live in loneliness and torture while he himself was unable to do anything.

.

"Have you told Irene yet?" San asked.

"Yes, but I shouldn't have."

Irene had probably not been able to keep herself from seeing her son which probably added to his confusion.

"Maybe you want to tell your human friend that he is alive." Lucifer noted before leaving.

Human friend? Klara was anything but a friend.

Since she found out about Lucians death she had been in a bad state. Sometimes she would deny his death and say that she was going to find him and sometimes she would not leave her room and would just cry for the whole day.

There were some other days that she would not cry but then she wouldn't leave her room either, or eat or drink. She really made him confused and sometimes he wondered why he even brought her here and caused all this trouble for himself.

Today he found her laying on the bed being very quiet.

"Good morning."

She still lay unmoving on the bed. "Don't you know how to knock?" She asked in a flat tone.

He did knock but she never seemed to hear his knocking.

"Or maybe you lost your hearing." He stated.

She sat up hastily and glared at him with annoyance.

"You could knock louder. It's not of good behaviour to enter a lady's room without permission."

Good behaviour? And him? San fought the urge to laugh. He was actually at his best behaviour right now or else she would have found herself in his bed. N.a.k.e.d.
