It's not completely healthy to throw myself in to my work, taking into account of my personal emotional state being haywire and not good at all. But it's a thing that is productive for myself and won't have me being continually thinking, of how much of my life has changed.

' Killed by a deranged psycho, whose life was saved by the one man who I had think I could trust. Then by some miracle I was saved and I am now a freaking Angel. That is exactly how my life is like now.' Wonderful isn't it. How life can change with a blink of an eye.

I scrolled the hours upon hours of messages maze and I are exchange, snickering when she sent an eye roll and devil emoji. Explaining to me how much of a pain in the ass Lucifer is. It didn't take long for Lucifer to send me a text, I read ' Your handsome devil added you and the demon best friend into a group chat. Start your conversation.'

Ping! Oh this will be interesting.

" Are you, by any chance, Ellie? Decker?"

I leap out of my spinning chair; metaphorically at least from being startled.

" Woah, easy tiger. In all honesty I didn't expect to scare you. I come in peace."

Said the voice of a rather Handsome man in his thirties. He had his raised, mocking a surrender. His eyes sparkled with sincerity.

I take in how he wore a uniform, which rookies are often given to wear in their first few weeks, realising he must be the newest recruit. It was taut, the fabric stretched, as his arm muscles were there. His hair is a darker shade of blonde than it was brown, and the colour of his eyes are cobalt blue which are similar to those found in the deep parts of the Mariana Trench.

From what I have read in textbooks.

He smiled, charmingly. " The name is Nathan."

Nathan offered a hand for me to shake.

" the new blood to thus grace this department. And they told me you are the best pick, to you know show me the ropes."

He explains hands resting on his belt buckle.

" So. Are we going to explore this place or.. are you.. going to stand there staring at me like I just ate your last bite of a burger." His laughter travels, it's a similar way I laughed when I hear a joke I thought is hilarious.

I giggled, shortly after his died off, abash to the fact I thought I had my expressions under control. " You, and your mom, have the same exact laugh." I hear Nathan say under his breath, when he thought I couldn't pick it up. I swung my head around.

" What did you just say? H.. How do you know my mom. What do you mean I sound like her?"

Nathan, not knowing I could hear him, looked and pretended to not know what I was talking about.

" I didn't say anything, Lily-pad."

His pupil dilate in shock he said the one nickname nobody else knew. Expect my Father, Charles. I latched onto Nathan's wrist, marching off and haul his body into one of the interrogation confinements and made sure to lock the door.

' These are sound- proof. Luckily.'

Now Nathan is tall, well above six foot four, two inches taller than Lucifer but didn't stop me from pushing his head down on the titanium steel support beams. He groaned at the impact. " You better start talking or it won't be good for you. How do you my Name?" I gritted out through my teeth.

" Only Charles knows it. No one else. expect my mother, Catrina. Explain yourself. Answer me! Now!"

" Lily-pad, it's me. It's your father."

He finally uttered. Though it was muted, and muffled, as I dug my fingers in his shoulder leading him to grunt. It's your father. It's your father. That is not a possibility. He died when I was eight. He is gone.

" If you let me go I'll willingly explain, then answer, How I am alive."

I backed off and I unholstered my weapon drawing it on Him. I didn't trust a single word out of his mouth. His hands are raised, validating how I am guarded.

" My father is dead." I told him, straight on the narrow. Never once did I falter.

" And you are a little too young, don't you think, making the claim to be him. You can't be older than thirty one."

I slowly started to take menacing steps to my right, following Nathan as he went to the other direction. We are circling the table.

" I will humour you, I suppose. When is my birthday?" I question him, bringing out the most simplest of questions. " A movie i love the most? Growing up? What was the one name, in the whole world, that I want to name my child? If you really are, who you are say you are, tell me. Tell me!" I exclaimed, desperately holding my self together. " If you are my Father you'll.. you will know." He still had his hands drawn in a raised acquiescence surrender. Taking a step of courage, Nathan pulled the gun out of mine.

" You've got the fire your mother possessed. It was a trait which drew me to her, in the start. She refused to let anyone tell her what to do, I joked how it was ironic she got a job, as a cop."

He earnestly remembers, scanning my face.

" I can honestly say when I saw your eyes, the night you were born during the first full moon of the month in late June when it was one of the hottest nights of the year, it hit me how you were born a beautiful blessing. Our little girl."

' No. please. Don't do this to me.' Nathan, even though I had my suspicions it was a name that was used under false pretences, held my jaw in place. " enchanted. Enchanted is the film you love the most. I could recite the script and each scene if you were to ask me. You wouldn't stop pretending to be Giselle. Even going far enough as to try and tame a random squirrel. Thinking you have your own chip, you couldn't tell the difference between a squirrel or chipmunk but I didn't have the heart to tell you."

' Oh my god. How..' he didn't stop talking.

" If you were to have a Daughter, Anastasia would be her name. 'Cause of Andalasia being your favourite fictional fairytale kingdom." His voice wavered, thick and soft with emotion. He had a pleading gleam in his face.

" It's me. It's.. me, Lily-pad."

The longer I stared at his face, my heart sinking from a daunting feeling that I could trust him. Memories flashing before my eyes.

' there you are, Lily-pad.'

I gasp, airily. I dropped my gun and it clattered soundly onto the floor. Nathan reached for me, when I lose a little of my balance from shock, worried.

" Daddy."

I clamoured in his arms. I clung to him. " I got you. I got you." He shushed, cradling my head.

" it's me. I'm here. I'm not leaving, again."

I have so many questions. He's Alive. However why has he not aged? Why is he here twelve years later and not buried in a cemetery? He appears as a younger version of himself. Those are things, which can be answered later on. He cupped the crown of my head, as I started to blindly look up at him face stung with tears. It seemed as time was frozen as everything fell in place. Like I found a piece of my identity, once and for all. he felt real. " You were dead. I saw your casket lowered in the ground. We buried you, daddy. You were gone and now you are... you are standing here. I said goodbye to you."

Nathan helped me get up off the waxed floor. I had my hand clawing his wrist, afraid he would fade from me. " I don't think this is the right... time to joke, but that Angelic bastard Amen.. I don't think you need me to tell you. He fetched my soul, before it could reach heaven, and put me back into my body. With a little help. I'm an immortal Mortal much like Eve and Adam."

' Amenadiel. He.. ? He Made him an ageless, younger, vessel of my father and saved his soul from leaving?'

After all this time I believed I'll be forever orphaned. Have no father, No mom. And now here that stood before me is my dad. The man who raised me.

" Aunt Chloe. Aren't.. you worried she'll know it's you. She will have a freak out if she sees you."

How do I explain? How do you explain the resurrection of a guy, who is your brother, suddenly becoming alive?

" She will know you straight away. I don't think aunt Chloe could handle your Aliveness, well."

" Amenadiel has it sorted, Lily-pad. Trust me."

' I hope this won't end bad. I can't lose my dad, not again.'

~•~

A fresh new murder case for me to solve, great news. I couldn't help but think to myself how it is humanity could be the worst of the worse yet I chose a profession which protects and serves them. Dad, out in the field with me, had drove me to our crime scene in the Californian forest. It's a hiking trail which spreads for miles.

" Oh. What do we have here? Who are you, pretty boy, and why are you with my partner. I called dibs on her before you. As humans say."

Dibs? Seriously, Lucifer? He acting like we are in school. Though speaking I am technically a teenager still, I stopped aging at nineteen and I am genealogically going to be more mature as I Grow older. He disregard his phone, strolling his way up to me and Nathan. ' I've got to get use to calling him Dad.' My dad is aware of the whole Lucifer being the devil.

" This is Nate." I told Lucifer, ducking under crime tape, and he follows along with dad. " I am his assigned field training officer. I've been given the job by the Lieutenant, Luc."

Nathan, even Lucifer who is eyeing down my dad, put a hand out. " Be nice to him." I said, pointing out how he has a tendency of scaring off other men that try to get close to me.

" Don't scare him."

" I digress, Love. How is that search for your new Apartment turning out? If need to be, I can offer you to live with me. You, and me, can share a bed. I am however joking here. Not to be confused with my continuous endeavours of trying to get you under the sheets."

He grinned. I hated how his foolery in this case made a grin, similar to his, appear on my lips.

" What? Why are you giving me that haughtily, intense, glare for Pretty boy? If you want to join you're more than welcome. Don't call it The devil's tango for no reason. I rather if it was a time for me, and her, to experience together though. Not that I am discriminative."

' First of all. Ew.'

Nathan, repulsed, grumbles. I could feel the repulsion slipping in the cracks of my face.

' Second. He sounds Jealous.' Him suggesting a three-way, yes I know the term I am aware of the different Meanings, is not the most common request he has said. Albeit a bit surprising he was bold to say it.

" To answer. I haven't found a place, right now. But I do have a viewing after today is done."

Moving out, for the first time, is a big decision. I wanted independence. Mom, and uncle Dan, offered to help buy a place for me. I earned a substantial amount, including the fact I have a fund my grandma Penelope left in my name for these life choices.

" Hey, honey. Glad you're here. I would have fully accepted, if you chose to take some time off after the last few days."

I heard uncle Dan tell me, coming to where my dad and Lucifer both are.

" What's up, man? I am detective Espinoza. I take you are the new blood, I heard is joining our team, Nathan?"

I smiled, sombrely. If only he knew who he is.

" I will watch you up on the details. Our Victim is a young female, C.O.D is unknown. There are no personal belongings or I.D. Oh! Lopez is waiting on you, Ellie, honey. She has a heap of evidence she needs help with. If you'll be up to it."

Dad, having stood silent, made an effort at clearing his throat noisily. Drawing attention back on to him. " If you don't mind, I will stick 'round with Her. I feel inclined to stay stuck at to Miss decker, to learn and observe." I smiled, as he indirectly winks at me, hiding it from my uncle. A gurney, carrying a body bag, rolls by.

" Alright. Fair enough. Another detail is there's a triangular-shaped ink stamp on her hand."

Lucifer, intrigued, pointed a finger at a Stamp printed on our victims wrist. Coroners, of the LAPD, paused to examine his observation.

" I can recognise a night club stamp. That is a place you know Well, darling. Where they have fun. See! I'm useful when it comes to these."

I repossess the girls phone, after realising that Lucifer had taken it from the crime scene, and it was unlocked.

" We found an abandoned car registered to Uber. No driver."

Uncle Dan said, watching me type away on the linked account our victim used for her Uber.

" by the looks of it. I say our guy, on the map, is on the corner of crescent and third."

" You are Clever, my darling. Good job."
Lucifer compliments, when I pass the phone to him. " See. Why didn't you think of that one? Detective douche." Uncle Dan rolled his eyes.

I chuckled.

' My gosh. He gets under my uncles skin.'

~•~

Interrogating the uber-driver proved obsolete. He was a nervous wreck, hyped up on medical issued drugs for his own use. Ella had phoned me to her lab, needing me to come back to the work station she had made a home in, and she lit up seeing me walk in. Hip hop music played on her linked speakers

. I waved, smiling. Dad, he hadn't stopped his tag-along, leaned on the threshold of the lab.

" El! Hey. Glad you got my text. Don't worry, this is all about me rocking it old school when I work. Know what I am saying?" Ella said, with a hand jive motion, wriggled her shoulders.

It's enough to make me laugh.

Having a friend like Ella, when I was alone in school, felt natural. I felt good.

" I do. And rock you should, Lopez." Lucifer jested. " I'm sure, studying murder all day, you could use a little diversion. Everybody could! Have fun!" Lucifer grabbed my hand. I, with no time to protest we are working, and he swung me around. I chuckled pushing off him.

Dad spoke up. " Ellie."

Ella disconnected her phone from her laptop, I hear the speaker feedback scratch to a stop. He had an incentive, attentive, deep stare which I change my tune to serious. Right when Lucifer mumbles.

" Someone has the case of sour grapes, he is quite the kill joy. Isn't he, Darling. You agree?"

I elbowed Lucifer in his side. ' Don't get on his bad side, Luc.'

I smiled, innocently at my dad. He shook his head at how ridiculous I was with the pain in the ass that calls himself my partner.

JASMINE SPEAKS;

So, we got to meet Ellie's Father, Charles, but he has a new name to keep his identity a secret from his own family. He slipped and now Ellie knows. How do we like Nathan? With Ellie??

Eric winter portrays Nathan/Charles Decker.

Lucifer is hilarious and Ellie being, rightfully, grossed out at Lucifer implying a three way made me giggle when I wrote that.

Cause it's a him thing to do and suggest.

Write your theories, on who you think will be a good candidate to enter the scene and story? I want to hear them all. What would you like?

And how did you like it when I incorporated the fact Nate is a Mortal, but one who can live forever much like eve?

This is part one of this chapter.
