Lucifer; A New Beginning (fanfiction)

Chapter 10 | "Died from an angel's light"

Note: ik Azrael is only visible to Ella, but whatever. My brain wasn't working for some reason when I wrote this. Enjoy the story anyway.

A few hours later

Setting: Lux

Maze walked over to Lucifer with a drink in her hand. "What's up?"

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "Nothing much, why?" 

"No reason. You just seem—off."

"I'm not off—I'm just—it's nothing important." 

"Mhm." She stood up and walked up the stairs.

Setting: Precinct

Lucifer walked over to Chloe's desk right when she got off the phone. "Oh, hey Lucifer. We have another suspect to meet, care to come with?"

"I'd love to." The Devil grinned.

They both walked out of the department.

Setting: some random person's house

Chloe knocked on the door, "L.A.P.D. open the door!" She shouted.

"Can't we just open it ourselves? This is boring." Lucifer snarled.

Chloe rolled her eyes, "Not unless we have to."

They stood there for 2 minutes, the door didn't open.

"This is taking too long." Lucifer kicked open the door.

Chloe gave him a look, then stepped into the house.

A familiar person stood in the doorway.

"Azrael?" Lucifer started at his sister in disbelief.

A dead person lay next to her.

"Luce—it's not what it looks like."

"Do you two know each other?" Chloe raised an eyebrow.

"Very well, actually." Lucifer answered her. "She's my sister."

"I didn't even know you had a sister, but it appears she's murderered our suspect."

"No—I'm not a murderer—I'm—I'm an angel—I take the souls to where they belong—it's hard to explain to a human, okay?" Azrael stuttered.

"Wait... Say that again?" Chloe seemed interested in what Azrael was explaining to her.

"She's the angel of death, long story." Lucifer told her. He didn't want Azrael to go on about the whole story.

"Oh—okay. Sorry I'm getting sidetracked here..." Chloe straightened up. "So—the reason your here is... to... take this guy's soul to..."

"Heaven." Azrael finished. "I didn't kill him, someone else did."

"We need to figure out who killed him." Chloe took out her notepad.

"Well um—I'm gonna—do my thing here—so..." Azrael unfolded her dark gray wings and flew up to Heaven with the guy. 

The guy's body appeared back on the floor.

Chloe stared into space without saying a word.

"Right um... are you all right—detective?" Lucifer asked her.

"Yes—sorry—I'm fine. Back to the case." Chloe said awkwardly. "It's just this—angel stuff—it takes a lot to get used to."

"Right."
