"So now what? Do I float around for a bit?" I ask Etherea with a sarcastic tone, making her give me an unimpressed look. 

"You're a favourite of my children that I have reborn, do you really think I'll let you die so easily?" She raises an eyebrow and I give a slow shake of my head. "You'll go back but as everything comes at a price, especially immortality. You may experience some changes."

"Such as? And immortality?!"

"Yes immortality, how else will you survive? Well some behaviour changes, you may find you have more of a temper. You will need to work on controlling your magic again as I expect it will grow in strength. The rest I do not know" She gives me a comforting smile and I feel myself relax again. "Are you ready child?"

I nod and she goes to perform the spell but she stops suddenly. 

"Those damn ancestors!" Etherea hisses angrily and I growl quietly to myself. "They've blocked me from returning you to Mystic Falls, I'm so sorry my child. I'll return you to the safest place I can find"

Before I get to ask her anything, a bright light covers my vision and I find myself in a cold alleyway. I wrinkle my nose in disgust as two men, obviously drunk, stumble into the alley. They notice me and I notice a strong look of lust enter their eyes. 

"Hello gorgeous, what's a pretty little thing like you doing here" Gross man #1 grins at me with yellow teeth and I just sigh in annoyance. 

Both of the men drop to the floor at my feet with snapped necks, a small surprise in their hearts for whoever finds them. I see what Etherea means now about my magic, I think I'll have some fun with this. I concentrate and notice a red light pass over me as my clothes change into something comfier and a tad more discrete. 

Now to find where I am.


*****************


"Two males, both have the same injury of snapped necks however there are no signs of anyone ever touching their bodies. There's also no physical evidence of someone ever being here." Ella Lopez tells Detective Decker and Lucifer Morningstar. 

"Now this is interesting" Lucifer grins as he crouches down by one of the bodies. 

"The real interesting part is what was in their hearts. There's no signs of operations or broken skin but both victims hearts are full of miniature snake figurines." Excitement was obvious in Ella's voice and Lucifer just looks at the bodies in interest. 

"How is that even possible?"


************


Jesus I need a drink, I can't even remember how many miles I am from Mystic Falls and I can't get in contact with anyone from home. I'm now in this hotel at some crappy bar, hopefully their alcohol is good.

"LAPD had discovered the bodies of two male victims not far from the nightclub LUX" 

Hang on...Lux? Maybe the infernal noise of the T.V isn't too bad after all. I watch the screen closely and a smirk plays on my face when I notice Lucifer in the background, holy shit I'm in the same city as the fucking Devil.

"You've realised then?" No way...

I pull a gun from my pocket and hold it against his forehead, ignoring the screams of nearby people. Someone starts to call the police but I send out a small wave of magic making all phones snap in half. 

"Jeramiah, what a pleasure" I raise an eyebrow at the smirking syphon and he takes a sip of his bottle of beer. 

"Hello Ellie" The bastard smiles and I push the gun further against his head, people hide under tables making me roll my eyes at their theatrics. "Do it, I dare you. Doooo it, kill me" 

I put the gun away and he smiles victoriously until I grab his neck and slam him into the bar. Squeezing tightly I give him a small smirk. 

"Explain."

"It's a long story. Esther had control over me, I managed to escape and a witch cleansed me. I can help you get back. Things have changed since you died" His voice was mocking but I saw the sincerity in his eyes. 

"Prove it" My voice is cold and I hear the police arriving, I need to hurry this up.

"Stiles's is with me, you also have a new mark. He told me you were unobservant" After a moment I slowly release him and I hear a very familiar voice ring out. 

"LAPD put the gun down and your hands up!" 

"Chloe Decker" I murmur with interest, not turning around to face her. 

"Perhaps now we make our great escape?" Jeramiah murmurs to me and I give a small nod, pulling my hood down a bit more.

"C'mon you heard the Detective, put the gun down and your hands up. Some of us have plans tonight" 

Lucifer Morningstar, oh my god I'm internally fangirling so hard. 

"We're 'humans' remember?" I quirk an eyebrow at Jeremiah's reminder, of course I forgot. I look around and notice a hatch in the ceiling, there's several ways we can make it up to the ceiling. Jeramiah follows my eye line and he gives a small nod.

Let's hope I don't fuck this up, I really don't do physical exercise.


*******************


*Lucifer's pov*


I watch in interest as the mark on my wrist swirls in a golden set of initials, E.G. Is this another plan of fathers? I start to edge towards the figure in the dark coat and I share a look with the detective.

"This has been lovely, truly. But I have more important things to do than play cat and mouse with a little police force." The unknown figure speaks and I raise my eyebrow at her strangely elegant voice. "Mr Morningstar, I would suggest that you stop trying to advance on me and catch me by surprise. It's quite frustrating."

She turns around and her face is hidden but brunette hair with red highlights poke out from her hood. Her male accomplice smirks at me, making me smirk back with a challenging look.

"Madam, this is your last chance." The Detective calls out but I can feel the woman smirking from here. She is intriguing, too intriguing. 

"Of course detective" She crouches down and flips backwards behind a table as the police officers open fire. Her male accomplice winks at me before following in her tracks, I chuckle quietly before following. 

The pair manage to 'parkour' up to a hatch in the ceiling and the detective sighs when they disappear through the hatch. I wander over to where she was sitting whilst the detective is relaying orders through her radio, is that...?

"Lucifer? What is that?" Chloe comes over to me and takes the figurine out of my hands. 

"A snake figurine." 



Okay so not a lot happened but I hope you still enjoyed it and more will happen in the next chapter. I was going to write more but I am currently quite unwell and it's taking a lot of my energy. I'm sorry this chapter wasn't as good as the others but still I hope you liked it.


Let me know what you think!!
