Forbidden Flames (on hold)

chapter 32

Lucifer and I sat on the chair in the room. We didn't talk for a moment. We looked outside the window. It was whole white. The clouds were white, the sky was clear white and there was nothing other than this palace here. It's like this is made on clouds.

I looked at Lucifer who was already looking at me. I smiled at him and he placed his hand on mine. This is the very first time we are meeting after that night incident.

"What's happening ?" he asked.

"I don't know," I replied.

"What happened when I left."

"When you left, Marcel blamed you for King's death. He ordered everyone to find you dead or alive. Without anyone's consent, he declared himself as the King. Adrian was his supporter. Fergus knew about us and he refused to follow his decision. That night, he came to me and warned me that he would kill you when he found you."

Lucifer's fist got tighter and tighter as the words flowed from my mouth.

"Alice told me to run away from there if I needed to and that's what I did. I came back to find you with Eliana. There, we met an old lady who was a friend of your mother. She gave us a place to stay. There, I told Eliana to go back. On the way, I got a surprise that Cruella, no you will find out about this by yourself. Cruella helped me to get here. Here, I met your mother and Alice. They told me that I needed to head back to my place and they would take me there when they haven't found you. Being a normal human, I don't have the powers to find you anywhere."

"How are you here?"

"Millie took me here. I'm here to be with you. Always. " I said.

"Lucifer, what happened to you? Where were you all the time ?"

He didn't speak. He looks down and closes his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he said.

"When I left from here, I was unconscious for a month. Lucia, there are so many worlds like this. The one where I live, the one where you live, the one where I came from, and this one. So many of them. So many creatures too."

"Yes, I saw them. on my way here. Thankfully, Cruella helped me."

"Good, you are fine. Then, I woke up in an unfamiliar place and my memory was gone. There was only one girl in my mind who was you. Lina did all the things she could do to take me, to marry me. Her father was sacrificing me every day for the sake of his daughter."

"What did you do to her?"

"I kill them. I...I detached his head from his body and I burned her." he said as he was still in shock at what he had done.

He is a devil, no doubt what he did was a small thing but it was his first time. First time killing someone.

"Lucifer, there is nothing to regret about. What you did was right and what was right is what you did. If I need to kill someone just to get you, I would do that." I said honestly.

He looked at me shocked.

"What happened after that?"

"After, that when I came outside the palace, I was surrounded by black and green creatures. What shocked me the most was that I was saved by someone who looked exactly like me. His features, his aura, his horns, and his wings, everything felt so different ." he said.

I was shocked, he met his father. He saved him. What will he think when he will find out about the truth?

"We will find out about that later. Let's get downstairs." I said.

He got fresh and changed his clothes into new ones which Sophelia gave to him.

We went downstairs and then to the garden where everyone was present. Sophelia, Millie, Alice, Leopard, Old Lady, Cruella.

"Mom," Lucifer said.

"Lucifer, come sit with me," he said with her and no one spoke.

"Will you tell me where were you? What's happening? I need answers." he said.

"Lucifer, this is not the right-"

"Mom! I want to know now!" he exclaimed.

Sophellia sighed and gestured for everyone to leave. I stood there.

"Lucia, please you too," she said.

"But-"

"Why she should leave? She will listen to whatever you say!" he said making me look at him.

"Lucifer, for now. Let her leave, I will tell her everything later. I will need her later. But for now, I want you here! Alone." she said and I turned to leave.

I came behind everyone and they came to me in the hall.

I hugged Alice.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I asked.

"I am sorry but I don't consider myself enough worth to tell you."

They all gave me blessings and left. They didn't talk to me like they used to do. They left me here all alone to figure out everything on my own.

It's been a while since I left them in the garden. I am waiting here in his room. I'm pacing back and forth. My heart is beating so fast. What if she tells him that he is the devil? All the time, till now from his birth, he is used to people naming him devil in his face, fearing him. What he will do how he will feel?

After a while, Lucifer came back into the room. With an expressionless face. He looked at the floor, his face filled with guilt.

"Lucifer!" I said but he showed me his hand making me stop.

"Did you know that I'm a devil?" he asked with his hurtful eyes looking deep in mine.

"Lucifer-"

"Yes, or no?"

"But-"

"Yes! or no!" he yelled.

"Yes!" I trembled.
