ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔱𝔢𝔯 9

Lucifer stands there. His eyes locked on the door—no blinking, no breathing, no movement. His hands twitch. Itching to reach for that door. He stares at the knob, then visualizes Alastor leaving the room again.

and again.

His hands move to his face. The room is dark. Quiet and bland. cobwebs, extra objects, and really, really bad lighting. A singular bulb softly rocks back and forth above Lucifer. He rubs his eyes and removes his hands from his face to cross his arms. He takes a deep breath and finally opens the door. The switch in lighting blinds him, causing him to squint. Eventually, he adjusts to the brightness and closes the door.

Charlie is seen running all over. She spots her dad.

"DAD!" She jumps, running towards him. "I heard you calling for me; what's up? everything...okay?" Tilting her head slightly.

"Everything is fine, apple slice. I just wanted to talk to you about your mother, if you'd be up to it." Lucifer explains. His mind is going berserk. Contemplating if he even wanted to speak about Lilith. Charlie's nature shifts and she becomes sorrowful over the thought of her mother.

Lucifer feels the aroma change. He rests both of his hands on Charlie's shoulders. "It's okay if you'd rather not speak about her." He reassures her. "Dad," Charlie brings her hands and plots them on his inner elbows. "Even if it kills me, even if I can't sleep, I want to know if I'll ever see her again. Or maybe the reason why I never got to know you." She stops her dialog and looks towards him. "I wanna know if I'm pointing the blame, that I've known my whole life, towards the right person. Or if my blame was just grief I held for my parents that didn't get to see me grow up."

Lucifer was unable to verbalize any words. The look on his daughter's face hurt him. He brings his hands down and grabs her wrist softly. "Come on Apple." The two of them make their way upstairs to Charlie's bedroom. They don't say a singular word to one another until her door opens. "Ladies First." Charlie gives him a soft smile and sits on the couch in front of her bed. Lucifer closes the door. "Oh boy, how do I start?" Lucifer rubs the back of his neck awkwardly. Charlie grabs her pillow and puts it on her lap. She knows this is going to be a long day. Might as well get comfy. "The earliest I remember you, dad, is when you were singing to me about heaven and hell." She fights with her thumbs. Lucifer listens intensely, He slowly sits himself on the other end of the couch. "Ah, I do remember that. When you were my apple seed. Okay Charlie. I need you to hear me out on everything I say." He hitches his breath.

"I'm going to start before you were born. I do know that you know how we met. But what you don't know is why we split."

(Lucifer: "Well then.. we've been kicked out of heaven, forbid to ever return, and have made a new realm called hell."

Lilith: "Don't forget, newlywed too!!!"

She placed her forehead to his.

He takes a huge breath and continues. "Your mother turned into a succubus after earth. We were happy for a while. Hell was the way we wanted it to be, or so I believed."

(Lucifer: "Lovely!! Apple pie!!!!...Lilith?"
