A Lucifer Fanfiction: The Truth Is Out

The Truth is Out

As Chloe walks into the now destroyed loft, she sees its walls riddled with bullet holes and the floor covered with the blood stained white feathers of Lucifer. She sees him kneeling down beside Caïn's body, his head hunched over. She faintly hears a cold voice as she walks up to him.

"Deep down, you know you're a monster and that you belong in Hell, where you will torture yourself for that truth for eternity. Because no matter what you tell yourself, you can't outrun what you've done, what you truly are."

"And neither can you!" Pierce answers.

Then a heavy silence invades the room as Caïn grips Lucifer's hand, drawing out his last breath, a sinister smile creeping up his face as he sees Lucifer's face turn to red while Chloe stares at them.

"Lucifer?" Chloe says, walking over to him. "Lucifer?" She repeats when she doesn't hear an answer. "Are you alright?"

"I am now. Caïn will not threaten anyone anymore." The Devil answers, standing up and turning towards the blonde Detective. Chloe freezes and looks at him, eyes wide open. She takes a step back. "Detective?" He asks, surprised at her reaction. He extends his arm to reach out to her. That's when he sees his burnt hand, and finally registers her reaction.

"It's all true." Chloe says in a breath.

"Detective." Lucifer replies, taking a small step towards her. Chloe takes the same step back to keep her distance. "Chloe." He says, looking into her eyes, trying to convey what he feels for her, hoping for her to see past his appearance and stay true to what she told him a fez days ago.

"It's all true." She repeats. "You're really the Devil." She adds in a breath.

The Devil takes another step towards Chloe, she takes a step back until the heel of her right foot hits the step. She tumbles to the floor. She stands up, her legs shaky, frozen in her place. Lucifer looks into her eyes and sees what he feared all this time unfold in front of him. He decides to cut this torture short and disappears in a flash of his now bloodied wings, leaving Chloe alone and shocked, his raw face filling up with a deep sadness. Chloe remains sitted by herself for many more minutes, her brain still unable to process what just happened. Ella is the first one to find her. She rushes to her, trying to break her transe. She shakes her awake.

"Chloe, are you alright. Did Pierce hurt you?" She finishes as she finally notices his body lying on the floor. Chloe remains silent. Ella does the only thing she can think of and hugs her friend until she finally comes back to reality. Chloe takes a deep breath.

"It's all true." She says.

"What is?"

"Lucifer." She replies. "He told me the truth from the beginning."

"Chloe, maybe you should go to a hospital or something. Are you sure Pierce didn't hurt you?"

"No Ella!" She snaps back. "You don't understand! Lucifer has been telling the truth from the beginning. He literally is the Devil!" She looks around, searching for him. "Where is he?"

"I don't know. You were the only here when I came in."

Then she remembers what she told him right before Charlotte died, and her mind flashes to that moment he left his penthouse after her poisoning, and how she felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest. She can't bear this to happen again. "I have to go." She simply says.
