First part of her plan went quite well. Now onto the next part- waiting till the evening and hoping that Maze doesn't come back.

Kate was pacing in her room. Going through her plan once again.

There was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Who the--" Kate thought out loud.

"Katherine, we need to talk." Lucifer said behind the door.

How did He knock? Must be same as with pillows.

"About what?" Kate asked but didn't let Him in. Should she move forward with her plan?

"Fine. Talk. But don't come in, I'm... doing stuff..." Kate said and run to her bed and pulled the box of dress from underneath it. She hadn't actually taken it out; even the card on top of it was still untouched.

Lucifer was talking something about the first time Kate had asked Him how long He will be her guardian.

~I've never so adored you

I'm twisting allegories now

I want to complicate you

Don't let me do this to myself~

Kate stopped for a moment and looked to the door.

"I had a talk with Amenadiel." Kate heard Him say.

"Who?" Kate whispered.

"And?" she asked louder pulling the black dress out of box.

"It's... beautiful.." Kate gasped while holding it up. The long lace sleeves were black yet transparent. It had neat neckline but not too deep. And that adorable collar with crushed gems? To die for. She wouldn't be surprised if they were real.

~I'm chasing roller coasters

I've got to have you closer now

Endless romantic stories

You never could control me~

Quickly and as silently as she could, Kate got into the dress all the while trying not to listen to Lucifer.

"He will only distract me." Kate thought hazily.

"What are you trying to tell me Lucifer?" Kate asked and slowly went to the door.

"Jophiel has been working on her plan of getting me back to Hell." He started. If only Kate knew how distressed the Devil looked leaning against the wall at the other side of her door.

"And? Are you--Are you leaving?" Kate asked in small voice. Was this it?

She didn't exactly have this as a part of her plan.

"No, of course not." Kate could hear Him chuckle bitterly. Small but relieved sigh escaped Kate.

"I still have to advise you, do I not?" Devil tried to lighten the mood but the things He needed to say won't help it.

"Yes..." Because I am so misguided right now. She didn't say out loud.

"I took care of Ornias, if you wanted to know." Lucifer said once again.

"Sent him back to Hell I believe?" Kate aske and grabbed the black bag pack from closet.

"Yes, quite literally." Devil chuckled behind door.

~Well I never really thought that you'd come tonight
