Lucifer pats my back and I feel a chill run down my spine.
Lucifer: Here we are. Now remember what I said, you hurt my daughter I'll hurt you.
I nod frantically.
Jon: Yes, I haven't forgotten!
Lucifer: Good. Bye now.
He flies away and I look at the door. I take a deep breath and turn around to see if Lucifer is still in my sightline. I attempt to run away but I suddenly get pulled back.
Jon: Agh! What the!?
Lucifer: Trying to run will do nothing.
I stand back up.
Jon: What the hell!? I thought you—
Lucifer: Left? Well, I was going to until I saw you trying to run. Maybe I need to help you.
I grumble as he pulls me to the door.
Lucifer: Knock on it.
I sigh in defeat and knock on the door. I feel Lucifer put his hand on my shoulder as the door opens.
???: A human?

She looks me up and down, confused. Then she looks next to me and sees Lucifer.
???: Oh, hey Dad.
Lucifer: Charlie. Can we come in?
Charlie: *smiles* Sure. Come on in.
We enter, and I see how pretty the hotel is. Lucifer gently pushes me onto the couch and sits next to me. I keep my head down to avoid eye contact.
Charlie: So. Why is there a human in Hell?
Lucifer: *smiles* Remember those human-demon war stories and how it ended?
Charlie: Yeah. I used to love those stories. A peace treaty, right?
Lucifer puts his hand on my shoulder, causing me to flinch a little.
Lucifer: This one's father made a deal with me. Now I get to choose what happens to this kid.
Jon: *scoffs* I'm 21, I'm not a kid.
Charlie giggles and Lucifer pats my back.
Lucifer: Spoken like a true Frost.
He stands up and walks to Charlie.
Lucifer: So how do you like the idea of a new helper?
I start to tune them out as I start to remember the last conversation I had with my dad.
(Flashback)
We were on our porch watching the ducks in the pond. It was my birthday, and without many friends or family, we just sat there.
