Possessed with Evil, Cursed with an Angel

Ch.6 Tiny Ounce of Sin

    Lukas sneezed from all the dust coming out around the room from Lucy cleaning.

"So you can sneeze and say mommy but cant talk to me. What's restraining you?" Lucy asked.

Lukas sat in his cage silent.

"Hey if you can read all these books than you must be able to talk to me. Wait.. if i let you out would you talk to me?!" Lucy asked.

Lukas sat in silence still. Lucy sighed. "Fine than.."

"sis.." Lukas finally spoke.

"Holy lord above! You talked!" Lucy bursted in enthusthiasm.
"l..L-..Lucy..?" Lukas spoke.

Lucy rushed to the cage.

"Lucy.." Lukas adjusted his head to be eye to eye with her. His eyes were sleepy yet serious. His voice so much deeper than his usual childish tone. Lucy felt flushed and couldn't help to blush.

"Lukas.." Lucy gazed into his dewey red eyes.

Lucy turned away. "What am i doing?! for one, he's my brother. two, he could be the devils child and not just my own mothers. calm down Lucy!" Lucy thought to herself.

"Lucy, is my half sister.." Lukas said.

Lucy turned back to her sleepy, yet so drained brother. Lucy's eyes were big in amazement that after a couple of days of trying to talk to him, that he finally spoke. Lukas was in deep thought from the looks of it.

"Lucy is scared of me.. Lucy is so pretty, yet she probably is afraid of me.." Lukas said.

Lucy's eyes started to water. She slipped her hand through the cages bars and she held her brothers hand.

"I'm not afraid of you Lukas, you're my brother now so of course ill care about you because that's what a real family does! Am i wrong?!" Lucy said.
"Lucy?" Lukas gazed into her eyes.
"Yes?.." Lucy said soothingly.
"Would you be my wife one day?" Lukas asked.
Lucy chuckled.
"Sorry brother but I can only marry onto a nobleman and marrying onto my siblings would be a sin. I'm flattered but you're only my brother, and it'll stay that way forever." Lucy said.
  As always, you should expect the unexpected even if it seems the plot will stay at a silver lining.
Lucy's heart rushed. Her punishment was upon her for sinning. Her lies to her family came back. Sin will follow Lucy everywhere it seems.
"LUCY FURNILLIA!" Elizabeth yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Mother-" Lucy's heart raced.
"HOW DARE YOU DISOBEY FOR ANOTHER TIME! YOU'RE PUNISHMENT IS NOT SOME 'GO TO YOUR ROOM' PUNISHMENT THIS TIME!" Elizabeth backhanded her daughter.
Lucy fell to the ground from the hit.
"Lucy no!-" Lukas was frustrated by his chains and cages.
Elizabeth snagged Lucy's hair. It started to rip out bunches and bunches until she bled.
"MOTHER STOP PLEASE! IT HURTS MORE THAN THE SIN I HAVE COMMITTED!" Lucy cried in agony.
"AND YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR SINS!" Elizabeth continued to beat her beloved daughter to no end.
Lukas became restless.
"STOP IT NOW!" Lukas suddenly from his chains.
Lukas gripped the cages bars and they projected fumes. The bars started to melt.
He broke free from his cage in which he sat in, for what seemed like an eternity and shoved his mother to the ground.
He dropped to the ground and held up Lucy to his chest. He whispered in her ear, "I love you Lucy, I won't let you get hurt!"
Lukas groaned from a sudden hit. Lucy heard a whip lash to his back. Lukas set Lucy down.
Elizabeth knocked Lukas over and started kicking him. Lucy watched as her brother suffered the same beating she had just gotten.
"L-Lucy h..H-help me.." Lukas painfully said.
Lucy started to tear up.
"Leave him, he will forgive you. He deserves this anyways." The voice came back in Lucy's head from weeks ago.
"I'm sorry Lukas!" Lucy ran out of the sealed away room.
"LUCY! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!" Lukas screamed.
"DON'T THINK IM NOT DONE WITH YOU BRAT!" Elizabeth yelled.
Lucy locked herself in her room for hours. Elizabeth sat outside of her room for a while but gave up.
Lucy broke down the whole time period crying. Lucy looked into the mirror in her bathroom. She was a mess from crying. Eyes beat red, scuffed up hair, she couldn't even look at her self. Suddenly, Lucy punched the mirror. The mirror shattered and glass pierced her hand and forearm. She dropped to her knees and screamed at the top of her lungs as she continued to cry. The pain was unbearable.
"Lucy! What have you done to your self?!" She looked up to see a familiar face.
"Lukas!?" Lucy was confused.
Lukas grabbed her arm with shattered glass deep in her skin. He started plucking out big pieces of glass one by one very quickly. Blood continued to poor out the cuts she created on her arm. Lukas intensively looked around the room for an item that could help and the time of need. He noticed a unused toilet paper roll on the bathroom counter top next to the sink. He grabbed it and started tightly rapping her arm with it.
"I know it won't do much but it is good for now!" Lukas said.
Lucy had stopped her tears when Lukas started helping her.
"I don't get it.." Lucy mumbled.
"What is it darling?" Lukas asked.
"I betrayed you but here you are, trying to heal my wounds but I do nothing for yours." Lucy said.
Lucy touched the scratch mark under Lukas's eye that Elizabeth had made.
"It's fine.. I'm just glad you got away.." Lukas slipped his fingers through hers.
He held her hand softly and gently, trying not to hurt her more than the pain she was going through from breaking the mirror.
"I heard you crying for hours in my room. Than I heard you scream and broke free again. I didn't want you to be hurt.." Lukas said.
"How'd you hear me from the basement?" Lucy asked.
"I'm a demon, remember?" Lukas laughed.
"You're no demon, you're an angel." Lucy said.
Lukas began to blush. He smiled. No one ever treated him with this much kindness. All he had was a mother who could barely care for him, and thousands of books.
Lucy smiled back at him.
"Will you ever love me Lucy?" Lukas asked.
"I'm sorry Lukas, incest is a sin. Plus like I said earlier, I love you as a brother, nothing more." She smiled.
Lukas's smile faded away and he put his head down.
"Lukas..?" Lucy looked deeply concerned at her brother.
Suddenly Lukas began laugh. For the past few hours Lucy couldn't tell who the villain or victim was.
Was her mother the villain and them two the victims? Was she the villain? Was Lukas the only victim? Was her mother the victim? Or were they all just misplaced?
No..
A mother is always has her reasons..
For this reason, Lucy wishes she listened to her mother before.
Don't ever trust a devil.
"Lucy, if I can't get your love, I'll take your sanity."
