(Still Luci's POV :) )


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the night grew closer, i felt a swallowing sense of hopelessness and self consciousness creeping up, but i couldn't find the bottle of antidepressants i always kept on my night stand, i forgot to take them this morning so i hadn't noticed they were missing. If Alastor was behind it i was so gonna kill him, but if i confront him and it turns out he didn't know about them that would also be horrible, he would totally use that to blackmail me or even worse, he'd tell Charlie.

The next best thing i could think of in the moment was find my Violin.

I went over to where a Harp and Piano sat in my room, and next to them was golden Violin neatly hung on the wall, it's case laying underneath with it's bow inside. I picked them up, took a deep breath and started playing a simple tune i learned in heaven.

As i played, the world around me seemed to melt and it was just me and the soothing melody that came from the angelic instrument. unfortunately i missed a couple notes, which was not like me and threw off the groove i had wanted to create for myself.

I felt a looming sensation that someone was watching me...

This eerie feeling  sent a shiver down my spine, so i had decided to just go to sleep, putting down the Violin and bow in it's case, snapping on some comfy sleepwear and tucking myself under my bed's covers.

I had slept through the whole day until i was awoken by someone knocking on my door.

"Dad? are you in there? i need to ask you something.." Charlie's voice spoke up softly, muffled by the door. I got up and opened the door, stepping out to talk to her. As she spoke i rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, still very tired-

"So dad, i need a teensy little favour from you. see, me and Vaggie are finally going out on a honeymoon that we missed out on-" I interrupted her.

"w-wait, HONEYMOON? you said she was your girlfriend, not WIFE-" ...I was fully awake now.

"Well i said she was my partner when you met her, that could imply anything, you just thought girlfriend.."

"When did you get married? and why wasn't i known of this..? you could've told me.."

She was hesitant for a moment before speaking up. "I didn't want to tell you...i wasn't sure how you'd feel, you always seemed so busy so i didn't want to bother you.."

This left a sharp pain in my heart, hearing these words from her hurt me deeply. To stop this from getting more detrimental i changed the subject.

"So what's the favour you need me to do for you sweetpea?.. anything in my power is yours for the asking!"

"So..while me and Vaggie are out, i want you to run the hotel, as my dad i trust you enough. Emily has been kind enough to sneak us into Heaven for the best experience! i hope you can handle organizing stuff, ooh! maybe you could even host some exercises with the patrons!"

I laughed quietly at her enthusiasm, "I'll try, no guarantees about those exercises but i can handle running a hotel for you, my little apple seed.." She beamed with excitement and ran off somewhere else, i smiled to myself, walking back into my room to get ready.

{Alastor's POV (Finally)}

Ever since yesterday my abdomen had been in excruciating pain, the wound from Adam didn't seem to be getting better and kept reopening and bleeding me out, leaving me tired and irritable. I was lying down on one of the lobby's sofas, holding my hand over my side where the gash had stopped bleeding for now.

Lucifer had walked out of an elevator and headed straight to the bar. Charlie and her partner had already left but she announced that he was in charge before she closed the doors, this infuriated me, he hadn't even been here for a week and he's the one in charge? i had been here since day one and this twink is in charge? just because he's related to her? how unfair.

To ease up my nerves i decided i would get on his, swiftly getting up and standing right next to him. He looked at me with an annoyed huff, rolling his eyes before turning the barstool to face me.

"Despite the small stool you're sitting on, your feet still hover far off the ground, do you like it that way?" i prodded, kicking his leg quite hard to gesture what i meant. He just gave an unamused glare.

"Heard that before, you're not special making fun of my height. when are you gonna actually say a creative insult? period blood covered giraffe." he calmly snapped back. He kicked up his legs to nudge me away, but his boot's heel practically stabbed me in my already existing wound. i couldn't help but keel over in pain, my hand clenching my side where i already felt warm blood soak through my clothes.

"Oh? is this a bow i'm getting from you? have i finally knocked some sense into you?" He teased. Radio static emitted from me as i winced.

"Fuck you..it's that your horrid audacity to touch me is making me sick..." I lied through my strained grin. before he could question me i slid into the shadows, teleporting to my room.

I took off my coat and unbuttoned my undershirt, red blood flowing from the wound that sprawled from my stomach to the side of my ribs. I summoned myself some bandages and cotton balls to clean myself up again, something i had done for a couple days after that encounter with Adam.

"Sheesh that doesn't look good buddy, you need a little help there?" i heard Lucifer's voice pip up right next to my ear. i looked over my left shoulder to see a Lucifer-like snake staring down at where i was patching myself up.

Recognizing this as lucifer, i grabbed his snake form by the neck and threw him against my wall, red mist enveloped him as he poofed back into his original form, followed by lots of groans as he rubbed his back.

"GET. OUT." I hissed, getting up from a chair i had sat down in but quickly wincing, still in pain from this gash. He sat up against the wall i had thrown him into and looked at me disapprovingly.

"Just trying to help you. I'm guessing that's from when you pathetically lost against Adam? you really thought you could solo a divine being? how much of an ego do you have-"

'I don't have an ego, i just know i'm better than you and your infuriatingly beautiful body' I thought to myself as i put away the rest of the bandages i had put on myself, my blood quickly soaking through the white fabric.

"Well since that was from an angelic weapon, it won't heal itself on a human soul's body, you have three options. I leave you here to eternal suffering and you might bleed out, I give you my angelic blood to heal it gradually, or i can just heal you right now with a snap of my fingers"

Angel's blood seemed very tempting, i've only had the exorcist's blood after exterminations, it was always bitter but so addicting..I'm sure the higher the rank, the tastier the blood was, to think of how Lucifer's tasted was nagging my brain.

I grabbed his wrist to take a bite but he grabbed me by the hair and pulled me away. instead, he made a glass cup appear, used his clawed hand to slit his wrist and let the golden fluid pour into the cup. He gave the filled glass to me as he healed up his cut in seconds.

"Well it's clear what option you're going for, but i will monitor your blood intake as you heal, and once that cut is gone you will be getting no more." 

I grinned as i felt what this was shaping up to be.


"Shall we make this..a deal?"
