The Lost Morningstar

🌷Chapter 19🌷

♡Salem POV♡

Where does one go after he dies?

Last time I checked I'm king of Hell and so is my husband so does that mean I just get sent down there again? Or do the Gods see some good in me and will give me a chance at redemption? Don't be silly Salem you know damn well that you are gonna be staying your ass in Hell until the end of existences but on the bright I'm still gonna be with my man, speaking of Lucifer last thing I remember before getting harpooned in the chest was trying to escape to safety...that clearly went well. Now I'm in a dark place as of this isn't cliche enough I just had to be in some dodgy basement of some mad serial killer and trust me when I escape from this shit hole I'm gonna rip that green fucker apart.

My chest feels all fuzzy but it's healed and bandaged up so at least no infection. I'm more pissed that my top got ruined and say what you want about clothes this was truly a great look and now it's covered in blood and had a tear in it. Great. The cell I'm in doesn't seem to be as dirty as I thought which is pleasant but I'm not gonna celebrate small victories I know too well that the real danger is outside these iron bars.

For some reason my neck starts itching and when I go to inspect the situation I feel something around me...like a collar. It's bad enough that I'm a caged animal in captivity but now I have some sort of inhibitor collar on that prevents me from using my magic or anything of that calibre so linking to Lucifer is a big no, I look around the empty cell not seeing much expect for some bowls that consist of some water and food.

How generous.

Sarcasm won't save you now Salem but maybe my survival skills will. If it's one thing I depend largely besides my magic is my brain and using it to adapt to certain locations or to manipulate people, works on Lucifer whenever he doesn't agree with something but then again I offer myself naked to him so that's a hidden bonus. I highly doubt Siegfried wants me in that sort of way so my best option is to play by his games.

I'll have to settle with discarding my pride and for once I'll have to stop being bitchy which physically hurts my soul but the sooner I'm out of this shit wreck the better to calm Lucifer's nerves, I know very well that even being a tough macho man like himself his biggest challenge to overcome is his anxiety that he hates to admit he has. Most times I help him  soothe his worries but without me I fear he might act on his worst impulses may the Gods help whoever tries him. Just hope this father doesn't show up during all this commotion because shit will go south.

I check my bandages and see I have a new scar that's directly to the side of my heart. It doesn't look awful just very sore and with this collar I can't heal quickly at first I thought about ripping it off but realised it might physically harm me so I thought maybe the candles could melt away the collar, however that would take time and the flames seem to be having no effect on the collar itself so I just have to wait for the right time. I drink the water provided allowing the liquid to pour down my dry throat and get rid of that horrid bitter taste that lingers in my mouth. The food isn't as bad as I thought in fact it was rather delightful and made me want seconds which is a rarity as I'm quiet the picky eater yet this food felt so homely, it's werid that no-one has checked up on me in a while and I'm kind of hoping they haven't forgot I existed.

I really do wish Lucifer is doing fine without my absence. My heart aches being without him. We spent most of  our days with each other or at least tried to whenever we could but this is the first time after Zeon we've been separated and I don't know how to react. I know that if Siegfried wanted me dead I would be but I'm worth something so my thoughts lead me to believe I could be tortured or held hostage until he gets Angelique back which he will not ever, I'd rather see Lucifer happily reunited with his mother then have him lose her again and maybe see her never. I won't let that happen so I'm riding on the inkling that I'm of use to Siegfried so if I play the game right I could potentially use him to leave but that's if I play my cards right. Not much is known expect that his wife and child passed away and this turned him to kidnap Lucifer's mother in hopes of filling that void left by their deaths, if that's true and my perspective is correct then I can use that to my advantage maybe even try relating to him. We are both parents and lovers yet I still have what he wishes for so maybe that would trigger him in thinking I'm gloating instead of relating.

Two I could just do a runner as soon as he frees me but that's stupid and would land me more time in this cell rather then freedom. I need to outsmart this man but in a subtle way and the only way I see that happening is if we were to go with my first plan. Unless he has servants that do his bidding but they'd be loyal to him so another problem that leads me going back to my first plan, building trust and using that foundation to ease some sort of connection until I back stab him and do a runner. It's very risky and if Lucifer was here he'd be definitely telling me to not do it as there are too many variables that can make this plan go south but currently it beats staying inside here locked up like a wild caged animal losing all his power.

Only one way to find out if this man's heart still beats or if he's a stone cold bitch incapable of loving again. Second chances are something I can get behind esepically after all the sinful things I've done, I became what some say a better person whilst others debate about whether or not it's true I like to think so. If this his family is his weak spot then this will be worth the risk unless I trigger some dark thoughts so Sale be careful with your words and tread lightly, remember this is a man who overpowered Lucifer and shot you our of the sky with impeccable aim so don't be a bitch.

I hear a door be open with the locks echoing down the empty halls and why follows is the heavy footsteps of armour coming to my cell. It's show time Salem don't fuck up. The sounds get closer and closer until the man himself is standing behind the bars that trap me from freedom, his armour seems to have dents from his fight with Lucifer as well as a fractured helmet, Lucifer sure held his own and right now so do I.

Time to face the green titan.
