"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU'RE CHANGING I CAN'T STAND THIS."

•••

I don't know how but I had gotten dragged to the beach after we came back from the station.

Chloe had gotten a lead and we couldn't waste anytime.

I followed them out onto the pier where Lucifer was holding this knife, I assumed it was Azrael's blade.

Lucifer ran out to where Charlotte and Chloe were.

"Mother! I got the blade, let the detective go and it's all yours." He reasoned.

"Lucifer, put the knife down." Chloe said, clearly not knowing anything.

"It's okay." I motioned.

"Detective!" Lucifer shouts, motioning to the man who had a gun pointed at Charlotte.

"Put the gun down, Hector."

"Thank you for leading me to her, Detective. You promised to approach this case fairly, and you did but now I have to make things right for my family." His gun clicked and I flinched, noticeably.

"Darling, get behind me now." He whispered, I looked at him. He nodded reassuring me. I stepped behind him, quietly so know one knew I moved.

"A little wrinkle! You shoot her and we're all dead, okay?" He looks at Lucifer, confused.

"It's very difficult to explain, but believe me when I say that there are many, many lives at stake here. So please, just put the gun down, huh?"

He lowers it and I breath out in relief. Then I hear a gunshot.

Screaming, I duck. Lucifer's body wrapping around mine.

When I don't hear anything, I look up.

"Lucifer.." I whisper, seeing that everything stopped and no one was moving. I got up.

"W-wha.." I looked around, Charlottes eyes on me.

"She knew! Lucifer, come home with me. This proves she was manipulating you!" Charlotte glared at me.

"What? What are you talking about? What did I know? Lucifer..?"

He looked at me before lunging at Charlotte, jumping over the rail and into the beach. I followed them, looking over them.

"You've hurt so many people, Mum. It has to stop."

"You know everything I've done has been for us, for our family!"

"You used me, used Chloe. Hurt Amelia so badly, she almost died!"

"Me? What about your father?! He created Chloe to just to manipulate you! He put Amelia in all of those situations where she's gotten hurt just before she could reveal who she really is and stop him!"

She stood up.

"Lucifer. Look, we have the sword! Finally, we can get our revenge. We can destroy him. We can take our home back!"

"I'm not leaving, Mum! I'm not leaving the detective, my life here with Amelia!"

"Amelia can come with us, with her powers, we could have heaven back within seconds!"

"And do you think she'll leave without a second thought? She has family here, her career is here."

"Okay.. okay, just give me the sword and I'll take care of it for the both of us. I just need a chance to start over, please, son."

"But going back to heaven? That's not starting over that's going backwards and that's not good for anyone.."

"So it's time for you to move forward, Mum. Even if it means we'll never see you again."

Lucifer swings the blade and cuts something, my eyes widen.

My was distracted when pain ripped through my back and hands. I groaned as the tingling feeling turned into stinging, then slowly turned into burning.

I screamed and within seconds I fell off the railing and onto the sand.

Lucifer walked over to me.

"Darling, Amelia, look at me." My eyes looked at his then glanced down at my hands, a blue light cover them. Dark and lighter blues flickered around the main colour.

"Lucifer.." I said, scared at myself. "What's happening to me?" I screamed in pain once again as my back started to burn, it felt like lava was being poured all over.

"Amelia.." Lucifer whispered. I looked up at him, the pain gone. I spotted angel like wings coming from my back.

I gasped.

"No, no, no. My love, this is a good thing." He held my face in his hands.

"But, lets get you back home before Amenadiel stops this time warping."

•••

I stared into the mirror, my wings still on full display.

They were big, very big.

They looked like standard angel wings but the tips looked like there were airbrushes with gold. Darker on the bottom, getting lighter as they reached the top until it was solid white.

"My love." Lucifer looked at me, with just a tube top and jeans on, since I didn't know how to wear anything else with these wings.

"Lucifer, you owe me an explanation." I whispered. He pressed a soft kiss onto my forehead.

"I know, but she does too."

Ella walks in, her eyes wide. Staring at my wings.

"You knew that I was.. this?"

"Let me explain."

•••

"Mom was dying long before you were born. She was pregnant with you when she got diagnosed with leukaemia and your birth date was approaching, our parents prayed and prayed for you and mom to be okay when someone came down and told our parents that they had a choice." Ella sighed.

"They could refuse and both you and mom would die or he could make you the reincarnation of the angel of trust. Our parents said yes, right away but what he didn't tell us was that any human would've died from giving birth to an angel." She was crying, making me cry too.

"You all knew? Why didn't you tell me when I was younger?"

"Only I knew. Our brothers.. they wouldn't understand. Mom told me to take care of you because I was going to be the only girl. She told me that if anything happened to her, that we shouldn't blame it on you. And we didn't, at least I didn't." Ella looked at me, her eyes pleading me for forgiveness.

"Do you still trust me?" She asked quietly, I wiped my tears away.

"Of course," I smiled. "You're my sister." I walked over to her side of the couch and gave her a hug.

"I love you big sister." I whispered.

"I love you too, millie."
