The Devil in Me

You said I would've hit the ceiling
You said I
You said I should eat my feelings
Head held high

Lucifer stood on his balcony at Lux and stared at the sky with a scowl. He cursed his Father with all his might. He looked down at his hands, hands stained with blood. The blood didn't belong to him, but it belonged to Chloe Decker. He knew that his Father and the other angels would laugh if they found out he had feelings for a mortal. Lucifer himself could barely admit that he loved the detective. He walked back inside his penthouse to wash his hands. He scrubbed her blood off of them until his hands felt raw. He couldn't unsee the red on them no matter how hard he scrubbed. Lucifer remembered advice his Father told him once.

"Son, do you know what love is?" God asked Lucifer, then Samael.
"Yes, Father," Lucifer replied.
"Don't fall in love with anyone. Especially a mortal. All they will do is break your heart and step on you." God said bitterly as he thought back to his times with Lucifer's mum.
Lucifer swallowed and nodded as he knew he always had to obey and listen to his Father's words.
"Don't let your feelings get in the way of your life son. You must push them away, hide them, extinguish them forever. Hold your head high and don't look down. You are above them, especially those mortals. Don't ever stoop so low as to give your love to one of them. I do love my creation but you my son, you are better than them my little Samael."

Lucifer's hands burned as he shook the memory out from his head. He didn't know if he could face the detective again, but he had to see her. He had to know if she was okay. Lucifer dried his hands and adjusted his cufflinks before heading to the elevator. He glanced at the ceiling when the doors closed in front of him.

I won't take anyone down if I crawl tonight
But I still let everyone down when I change in size
And I went tumbling down tryna reach your high
But I scream too loud if I speak my mind

-A few hours earlier-
Lucifer ran as he snuck a glance behind him. For some reason, the suspect has decided to run after him. Lucifer huffed as he knew that normally he could have just picked this man off of his feet with no worries. But this man was carrying an AK-47 and the detective was hot on the man's heels so that option was out. Lucifer ducked as bullets richochet around his head. "Bloody hell." He cursed under his breath as he rounded he corner, the suspect tailing him. Lucifer knew one thing; he had to get the suspect with the gun away from his detective. Wait his detective? When did that happen? Lucifer shook his head to clear his thoughts. Perhaps a topic for Dr. Linda in their next session. Lucifer was brought back to the present as Chloe shouted behind him.
"LAPD, freeze!" She yelled at the suspect as he continued to shoot at Lucifer. Lucifer dodged the bullets best he could as he ran faster. Lucifer ran as he heard the pounding of footsteps behind him. He struggled to keep his rage in check, hoping that this man wouldn't hurt his detective.

I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
The devil in me (x2)

Lucifer took a deep breath to control his urge to whirl around and punch this man in the face. He knew it would be a bad decision as he breathed out harshly through his nostrils.

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, come back to life
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, come back to life

"Lucifer!" Chloe yelled behind him as he ducked out of the way just in time as more bullets flew at his direction. Lucifer knew that he had to get this man away before he did any harm to Chloe.

You said I'm too much to handle
You said I
Shine too bright, I burnt the candle
Flew too high

"Come on you wanker. Chase me!" Lucifer yelled as he turned to look behind him at the suspect. The man seemed to pick up the pace as Lucifer didn't look to back to see the angry and worried expression on Chloe's face. Lucifer thought that this wouldn't be a bad way to die. It would spare him from having to reveal his true face to Chloe. She would never see him for the monster he really was. Lucifer knew that he constantly let others down. Especially the ones he loves or used to love. Lucifer remembered his Father's words as he cast Lucifer out of The Silver City.
"You're a disappointment son. I cannot tolerate your behavior here in The Silver City. You're too much for your Mother and me to handle." Lucifer remembered glancing back at his mum and her expressionless face as God prepared to cast her "favorite son" out. God continued, "You question too much Samael. I cannot have our siblings following your horrible example. Therefore, as your punishment, you're dammed to rule Hell for all eternity. For you shall be the "light bringer", Lucifer. Goodbye son." God said as he gave Lucifer the final push. Lucifer fell for what felt like an eternity as the smell of burning flesh and screams filled the air. It took him too long to realize that the smell and the screams belonged to him.
