You'd spent hours running through darkness, desperately searching for a way out. 

Searching for Val.

Searching for help.

Anything.

All you'd done was exhaust yourself until you eventually collapsed into the dark realm.

With tears rolling down your face, you'd passed out, and just as quickly as you'd found yourself in that darkness, you found your way out. 

When you opened your eyes, you were back on the roof of the hotel, watching as Lucifer stood over Adam on the ground rage still glowing in his gaze as Adam had been beaten to a bloody pulp, his blood stained Lucifer's clothes, face, hands, and wings. 

Where Lucifer didn't have a scratch on his body, you saw your father draw a holy blade of his creation as he brought the blade down on Adam, decapitating him in one fell swoop. In seconds, you heard an executioner cry out for a retreat, and that same executioner quickly grabbed Adam's halo before retreating herself. 

You heard thudding footsteps as your father approached you while Lilith killed an executioner out of pure spite.

As his hands gently turned you so that you lay on your back, he stared at your abdomen before he started to pull the spear out as gently as he could. However, with the backward-facing barbs on the spear, it wasn't easy to do it without ripping your body apart any more than it already had been.

The sick sound of your body's insides being mutilated filled the air as Lucifer carefully removed the spear and then used what energy he had left to stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

The calm sensation of his magic filled your body and let you breathe much easier as a sense of much-needed peace filled your body as a result. The moment he was finished, Lucifer pulled you into his arms and placed a kiss on your forehead.

"I love you." He whispered as you slowly wrapped your arms around his neck, weakly embracing him.

"Alastor~" You muttered weakly, making Lucifer nod as he picked you up in his arms, quickly calling for Charlie before he took to the skies again, in only a few seconds, you were outside of a hospital, and upon entering, you noticed that Lilith and Stolas looked extremely upset. The moment you saw your mother, you demanded to know about Alastor.

She nodded, and took you from Lucifer, helping you walk in the direction of Alastor's room. "Can Dad not fix it?" You asked softly, making Lilith shake her head. "It would be too risky, with a wound this size, Alastors body could heal wrong and cause more problems for him down the line. He'll have to get over it slowly." Lilith explained, making you want to wail with frustration. When you finally reached the room, the sight that welcomed you was not a pretty one.

Alastor was in the hospital bed with only his pants on and a wrap-around his abdomen where he'd been struck. His eyes were closed but you could tell that he was still awake. You tenderly approached his side, taking in all the wires and IVs that were hooked up to his body. As you gently touched his hand, he opened his red eyes, and a soft smile formed on his face as you leaned down to place a kiss on his lips. 

You felt his hands come up to hold your face, at least he didn't seem to be in too bad of a state mentally, even if there was a gaping wound in his side.

"I'm glad you're okay," Alastor said as Lilith left the two of you alone. At that, your emotions threatened to break. They hit you like a wave as your tears started to fall and you lost your restraint.

Your grief consumed you as you thought about the twins. Alastor frowned slightly at your emotion and inquired. Then you remembered that he'd passed out due to the blood loss before he'd seen them.
