Gabriel POV:
"Micheal come on, this is serious!" I shouted.

"Gabe, I told you, I'm busy and I need you to stay here and help me." He responded with a hint of annoyance.

"Ask one of the others! Jophiel and Raphael seem plenty unoccupied and available." I roll my eyes, feeling annoyed with my older sibling.

"Yes but you know they slack off with these sort of things which is why I need you. Your my second in command for a reason." he sighed.

"What, like you were to Lucifer?" I say without thinking. I put my hand over my mouth and gasp slightly. Micheal doesn't say anything.

"Mike I-I didn't mean to- that just slipped out- I spoke out of turn, I'm sorry." I take a slight bow to apologise. He sighs again.

"Its alright Gabe. I'm your brother still, no need to bow to me." he grabs a book. "I think your right you know. You should go down and help Luci defeat Eve and Lilith." I look at him with a puzzled gaze.

"Then why-"

"Is it so bad that I don't want my little brother getting hurt?" he cuts me off. I open my mouth to say something but hold my tongue.

"But...I would be crazy to not think you were extremely responsible and can take care of yourself. I may be an Archangel but I can still have worry for others. I'll get Jophiel to help me." he hands me the book to Hell.

"Be safe Gabe."




Lucifer POV:
God I'm so anxious about this. I'm anxious about everything. The love of my life could be very well dead, my ex-wife and the most evil thing to exist (he doesn't know Val) are planning to destroy everything I love, and the only hope we have is my brother being able to come help which is still unlikely because Gabe said he might be too busy-
My thoughts were interrupted when a portal from heaven opened in the lobby.

"Oh thank fucking Satan." Angel said. Gabe walked through the portal.

"Hey Luci..." I run up and hug him. It stays silent for a few moments as I embrace my little brother.

"You have no idea how good it feels to hug you again." he says, tearing up a bit.

"Dont go crying on me now, you gotta meet your niece." I gesture for Charlie to come over.

"Is..is this Charlie?" He says softly, smiling.

"Oh my goodness hi! Are you my uncle? I love your wings! Your hair is almost like my dads, we should dress you two up the same!" She shouts, shaking his hand.

"She's got your hyperness I see." Gabe says, I let out a chuckle.

"Apologies your majesty's, but do you mind if we save the introductions for later? I can feel Alastors grip on my soul fading. And as much as I would be fucking glad for that to happen, it means he's dying." My eyes widen as husk states that.

"He's right. We need to move this along. Cherri, I'm gonna need you to lead us to her palace."




Alastor POV:
'Gods I'm so tired..how much longer will this last...' I think to myself. I can't die a second time from things like hunger which is what makes this torture because I still experience it. Eve hasn't given me a proper meal or anything and I figured she's doing it to make me feel pain. I've tried to get rid of my chains but obviously that didn't work. Although, I am a resourceful person. Even if Eve put a spell on these chains so there unbreakable...it doesn't mean there unlockable.

"I've got an idea...if I could just summon my shadow.." I whisper an incantation to summon him. Luckily, it works.

"Oh thank everything and everyone she didn't take you away. Shadow, turn into a key and solidify yourself and unlock these chains." I tell it. I feel stupid for not thinking of this sooner. My shadow does as it's told and unlocks the chains. I then ask it to do the same to the door. The door unlocks and I quietly open it, just to make sure she's not here.

"I have to find Rosie.." I imagine where she could be but it turns out I don't have to. I can see her in the room next to mine.

"Shadow, you know what to do." It unlocks the door and I quietly go to Rosie. She's still so battered up and bruised...I'm gonna kill Eve when I get rid of our deal. It seems that Rosie is passed out so I ask the shadow to carry her as I find a way to safety. I go down a few halls, almost getting caught by Eves guards but I manage to find out that the exit out of this horrendous palace is one floor up.

"Alright, bring her quietly. Let me know if there are any guards." I say to my shadow.

"Going somewhere, pet?" My body goes rigid and cold with fear as I turn to look at the voice.

"I-" my words get choked up in my throat.

"There is no escape. Time to punish you I suppose."



"Get the FUCK away from my lover."
