I bang hard on the door, hearing their conversation, "Don't do it, Eliza!"
I hear only her heartbeat now and it quickens whenever I bang on the door. I knew Eliza would be curious to find out about her mother. But what she doesn't realize is her own brother is here and can tell her everything she wants to know.
Lucifer slams on the door and a source of energy blasts through, hitting my chest and throwing me down.
I yell out and Michael comes over, "What's going on?"
"I can handle it. Just take Janine and Luke and go out the back door."
"She's my sister, Ashton."
I groan, "We don't have time for this! Go!"
I get back up, feeling a tense pressure in my chest but ignore it.
I keep bang on the door, holding onto that sliver of hope that she doesn't hate me so much to want to leave.
"Eliza! Listen to me! Don't do it! I will do whatever you want me to do! Just please don't go with him! I will buy you anything! I will give you whatever you want and more! Please don't leave me!"
I take a deep breathe when I hear her struggling.
Her heart quickens and I hear Lucifer whispering in her ear.
"Do as I say, and no one gets hurt."
Fûck this.
Running quickly to the back of the infirmary, I stare at the door and hop on my heels ready to charge.
Gathering every ounce of supernatural ability I have, I force it all in my legs and start running as fast I can, head butting the door down.
I go down with door and groan, rubbing my head.
That was a terrible idea.
Looking up I see Lucifer holding Eliza. His hand over her mouth while her hands are behind her back.
"Now Ashton, I will take good care of Elizabeth. There's no need to worry."
"Like hèll you are!"
I go after him and with a flick of his wrist I'm pinned to the floor, no ounce of energy left in me to fight.
I look up at him, my head straining while I grip onto nothing, "Lucifer, I swear to God. If you hurt her..." I take a couple breaths, "I will kill you. I will burn you on a stick and cut your god dàmn head off."
He laughs, "Petty little threats, don't faze me. You seem to forget who I am."
His hologram flickers and so does she. I knew he had to be a hologram, he wouldn't be able to touch her if he wasn't.
I look at her eyes which were terrified and glowing. Her entire body radiating a soft light.
I hope her Light burns him to an unrecognizable corpse.
I hope he suffers the most gruesome, most painful death.
Eliza's body starts to shake and I notice her Light become brighter.
Lucifers hologram curses and takes her hand, gripping the ring off her finger and throwing it over to me, landing in front of my face.
I continue to struggle and strain against the invisible force, "Eliza.....I promise. I will find you, I will keep you safe from him."
Tears spill over her eyes and burn Lucifers hand that was covering her mouth.
Holy water tears.....that's....handy.
