The Devil's sister

CHAPTER 05

----- LUCIFERS PENTHOUSE -----

It was the next day, Lucifer walked towards his kitchen to make breakfast for himself and his sister. He thought about the previous day, between his mother and Azrael played in his mind. He tried to talk to her after Mom had left shortly after the confrontation. When he tried to talk to her she was clearly not in the mood to share more, she unfolded her wings and flew away.

Not long after the detective called him to ask if he would join her to interrogate people at a yoga studio where the victim had worked. It was rather boring and no help what so ever for his own investigation. That reminded him, he needed to talk to Miss Lopez. He still couldn’t believe he agreed to her terms, going to a church with her. What was he thinking? The last two times he went to a church people had died and it would be torture listening to humans worshipping his father. He groaned at the thought and continued preparing breakfast.

When he was almost finished Azrael walked into the kitchen.

“Good morning brother.” She had a small smile as she saw the devil  making chocolate chip pancakes. Who would have thought. He turned around grin on his face. She let out a small laugh when she saw his apron with a finger pointed downwards, with the text ‘I suggest the sausage’. “Why are you wearing that I’m not getting near ‘The sausage’. Does it even work?”

He looked at his sister, still in her usual black and grey dress. He could see she still wasn’t feeling fine, she tried to hide it behind her smile but it didn’t reach her eyes. He didn’t understand why he was caring so much. Maybe she was right and he was changing. Azrael would be probably the only sibling he had really missed when he was in Hell. He was happy to see her when she finally allowed into Hell by their father, but at the time he was also angry at her for abandoning him. Lucifer let out a small breath not wanting to think about it any further.

“Well of course it works, but I don’t need an apron for that.” He smirked. “And don’t mock my apron while you are wearing that. It such a boring atire, clearly I am still the only one in our family with a fashion sense. Why don’t you look in the closet in your room I think maze has still some clothes there.”

“there is nothing wrong with what I am wearing!” she glared at her brother.

“You really do stand out between all those humans. They are probably wondering if comic con is in session.”

Azrael looked confused. “What on earth is comic con?”

“Humans go there to meet their favourite actors and dress up as characters.” Lucifer explained. He didn’t understand why humans did that. Azrael still had a confused look in her eyes. She could understand where her brother was coming from concerning her atire standing out. She let out a defeated sigh.

“Alright I will look what is in the closet.” She walked out of the kitchen and into her bedroom. She opened the closet that was in the room. There wasn’t much in it. She grabbed the first item, a short leather black skirt. She held it infront of her and deemed it to short for her liking. She grabbed the next item, it was leather black pants. She layed it on the bed. Now all she needed was something for her torso. She went through the rest of the clothing. Did Mazikeen only own leather clothes? She had to admit that it fitted the demon very well. She got frustrated, not knowing what to pick so she grabbed the first thing she saw.

Lucifer just sat down with his rum spiked coffee when his sister entered. Azrael wore tight black leather pants and a leather crop top. He had to admit that his sister looked very good in them. “That is a lot better sis. I think every human male will be walking after you like a lost puppy!”

Azrael rolled her eyes at his comment. She sat down and grabbed the black drink that was next to her plate. When she sipped it she quickly sat het cup down, a disgusting bitter taste was left in her mouth. “How can you drink this horrendous liquid?”

Lucifer let out a laugh when I saw his sister’s face. “I add some liqoure to it. You should try it is a lot better.”

She grabbed his cup and tried it again. Her eyes diminished and her nose wrinkled in disgust. Which mad Lucifer laugh again. “That didn’t make it better at all!”

------ LAPD PRECINCT LATER THAT MORNING  ------

Lucifer and Azrael arrived at the precinct. Lucifer parked his car in the garage and got out. He waited for his sister whom didn’t make a move to get out of it.

“Are you coming Az?” She shook her head at him. These clothes felt as if she was walking around naked.

“I will stay here.”

“okay well don’t die of boredom.” He grinned at her he started to walk away when he looked over his shoulder. “If something happens come fine me yes?”

“I will Luci.”
He nodded at her and made his way inside towards Miss Lopez little domain. He didn’t see the detective or detective douche when he walked passed their desks. When he enter Miss Lopez lab she was dancing to music, headphones in her ear. He ripped one out of her ear.

“Working hard are we?” He asked a bit displeased.

“Well it helps me when I run put of ideas. Like when your are showering the best ideas come to you then.” She explained. She walked towards a cabinet in her lab pulling out the evidence she found at Lucifer’s none grave grave. “I dehydrated that burned paper we found, using polyvinyl acetate. I ran  them through a pattern recognition program and found two thing.”

She walked towards the computer and showed what she found on the big tv screen in the room. “first, it looks like a drawn map of downtown L.A. to the exact spot you showed me.”

“And the second thing you found?”

“some Business logo of a law firm.”

Lucifer’s eyes narrowed he already knew what she was going to say but wanted to hear it from Miss Lopez.  The computer beeps and shows the logo.

“Bloody Hell!” He exclaimed. “Thank you Miss Lopez.”

Before she could answer he was out of the door. He walked straight passed Chloe and Dan. Who looked after him with confused expressions.

When Lucifer reached his car he found his sister staring blankly ahead. He didn’t say anything and got in the car and sped out of the garage and towards his mother’s office.

“Ah you found something brother?” Azrael asked after a couple minutes. She studied he brothers fence figure, she could almost she the steam coming out of his ears.

“We are going to pay Mum a visit.” He spat through clenched teeth in anger.

“What did she do?”

“She drew a bloody map to Uriël’s grave!” Azrael understood what that meant… her mother was responsible for her blade being found by humans. Anger boiled through her veins. How could her mother do that! “We are going to pay mommy dearest a visit.”
With the speed Lucifer was driving they arrived at the Richards and Wheeler building. Lucifer walked passed the assistant and straight into his mother's office. Azrael trailing behind him.

“I said I wanted to be left alone!” the goddess said when she heard someone coming in.

“Hello mother, You have been busy!” she turned around when she heard her son’s voice with a smile on her face.

“Lucifer.” She saw her daughter behind him. “Azrael, my darlings! I have been rather busy yes. I read all human laws in 2 days. Not that there is a lot to it. I got rather bored with the husband an offspring.”

“Do you realize what you have done mother!” Azrael spat at her with a furious look in her eyes. She was still mad at her mother after yesterday. Her eyes turned compelety black as she started to walk towards her mother. Lucifer quickly grabbed her arm to stop her. “Let go of me!”

“You need to calm down.” Lucifer said calmly but also with authority in his voice. “I would love to see you fight with her but not at this moment.”

His mother looked wide eyed for a second before she said annoyed. “What did I do Now? You are bringing my reversed cowgirl high down.”

“Ugh..” a small shudder went down Lucifer’s spine at the thought of his mother having sex. While Azrael looked confused. “Mother I don’t want to know what sexual activities your in.”

Azrael looked horrified for a second thinking about her mother doing anything that involved sex. She quickly thought about why they were here. “You let a human defile Uriël’s grave!”

Lucifer felt his sister shake out of anger. His hold on the arch angels arm tighter then it was before. He knew she dispised their mother at the moment, but his sister would regret killing their mother and in her current mood she probably would. Good she don’t have her blade at the moment, he thought.

“Did someone find the blade?” Their mother asked.

“So you admit you gave a human the location of the blade!” Lucifer asked.

“Not one human more like ten.” She looked proud of herself. “only my craftiest clients of course. I needed that damn thing found.”

“What is wrong with you!” Lucifer shouted. “Why would you lead humans to a bloody celestial weapon?! Are you insane!”

“Why did you leave it in a hole in the ground! It’s was easily found.”

“It was a filled in hole in the middle of bloody nowhere! If it weren’t for you it wouldn’t have been found.” Lucifer let go of his sister and walked towards his mother. “Your are telling me all the names of those humans!”

“Why do you care? I can’t for the life of me understand why you care all of a sudden for humanity. What is the big fuss about if a couple of them die.”

Azrael was silently listening to her mother and brother, trying to calm herself down. All of a sudden she felt another stab in her body. Her breath hitched in her throat as her hands go to the place she felt it. Quickly another one came and She tried to get through the pain. Hoping it wouldn’t take long. She knew what this meant… her blade! She let out a small whimper. Lucifer and the goddess didn’t notice the change behaviour.

Azrael felt another stab followed quickly by three more. When she felt one in her leg she fell to the floor. Her breathing getting more labored as she felt a stab in her throat. She let out a painful scream.

Lucifer quickly turned to his sister and hurried to her side. “Not again!”

“What is wrong with Her!” the goddess exlaimed as she saw her daughter on the floor in pain. Lucifer ignored her.

“It will be over soon.” He said as he said down pulling Azrael on his lap.

“What the HELL is going on!” The goddess sat next to her children on her knees. Her daughter face flashed with another round of pain. “We need to do something!”

“We bloody can’t mother!” He spat at her. His eyes turned red with hell fire for a second. “This is your fault and Dad’s, the cruel bastard!”

“Why is this my fault! And what has your father to do with this?”

“When someone uses Azrael’s blade that isn’t her, she feels everything the victim feels. Curtasy of Dad.”

“I didn’t know.” She started to stroke her daughter’s hair. “I didn’t know my child. I just wanted to have your father’s attention. So we could mourn our child’s death together. Every time I try to reach out to him I hear nothing!!!”

“That is nothing new mother! You think he would listen to you after that! You know how that went last time!” He looked at his mother for a moment for the first time he could see guilt in her eyes.

After another 10 minutes Azrael let out a sigh of relieve. She was still sitting against her brother. While their mother was looking for the human names. She wanted to get up but felt still shaky.

“Wait before you try to stand up. That must have taken a toll on your body.” She smiled weakly at her brother and nodded. Settling down against his chest, he rested his head on her shoulder. Azrael tried to enjoy this intimacy with her brother. They were never really huggers and the times they did hug over the last eons could be counted on two hands.

“These are the names.” The goddess handed Lucifer a paper. He nodded and helped his sister stand up. He noticed she was still shaking on her legs. It was worse then last time. He supported her and walked out of the door.

“I am going to drop you off at Lux and I will go see if the detective has found something.” Lucifer said as he helped her get into the car.

“No I should go with you.”

“Don’t argue with me you need to rest.” He got behind the steering wheel and started the corvette and drove away. “If I find something I will call you.”

When they arrived at Lux Azrael reluctantly left the car and entered the building while Lucifer made his way towards the detective..
