Sixteen

Sometimes when anger clouds a persons life it can be deflected, and consequences to the said situation can cause an upheaval of conscience of right and wrong.

Joe fields was a fall guy for my grandfathers actual killer, who is still out in the world free of charges, after discovering the timeline of his murder had been way off track.

All these years. The countless days, weeks and months, I missed knowing my grandpa and the possibility of forming a relationship with him.

It was hard on my aunt, hard on dad too, and I can't imagine how my dad must be feeling now knowing he can't comfort aunt Chloe. I hate it. I hate how the death of my granddad tore my loved ones apart.

Speaking of which I informed uncle Dan of my 'break in', wanting to keep the peace and be on the down low in hopes I would not trigger my aunt, but of course that was not a possible solution I wished on. " Again, how many times do I have to tell you, I'm fine. Luc. Tina, she is a grieving daughter. I don't resent her for acting on her grief. I wanted to help with an emotional time in her life and she got closure."

" I admire your sense of morale, darling, but I am conscientious enough that my dear Mom is already willing to go far as to try and get to you to get to me. I don't wish for you to deal with a mortal woman who would have willingly shoot you. Of course I am going to be worried."

Lucifer believed Tina was a ploy by the goddess to try and kill me, because I refuse to go back to heaven with her. He forgets I'm not the simple, weaker, more prone to death, girl he first met at trixie's school. " Why are you.. I don't want to know actually why you're in one of my uncles jackets."

If this day could get any weirder, Lucifer is copying my uncle. That's a sight, Nor an image, I want to stuck in my head.

I'd lie if I said it wasn't funny to see my uncle peeved off. Made me snort when I first saw, it before I figured out what was going on.

Uncle Dan is working on getting info about a deposit statement, from the day of death of my grandpa John and after, to see if we can get a paper trail.

Aunt Chloe is at a computer, seeing if she can trace news site archives about his death. Which leaves me with nothing to do, I wondered if my aunt and uncle intentionally made the choice to leave me out of it. Since in their minds I am the little girl, afraid of the big bad world after losing her daddy, they raised.

Leaning on the rail overlooking the station full of officers, I sighed. Lucifer copied, though his shoulder brushed on mine.

" I feel useless. I'd like to help, on this case. But uncle Dan insists that I take a step back. I just want to be on the job, you know."

I admit, troubled by all of the things happening around me.

" I've wanted to become an officer of the law since I was eight years old. It was a dream of mine to be here, to catch those bad men who killed my granddad."

Lucifer nodded, turning his back to the inside of the station below. " Not that I am against the idea of you catching your grandfathers murderer, I am darling."

He took a moment to ponder on his next words, as I looked around at him. Focusing my eyes on his lips. His smell.

" I just worry this might bring out some sort of unpleasant personal, and mental, pain. Hate it as I do I think detective douche and your Mum is right. You might want to take a leap of faith, leave the hard work to them. Besides it feels as if you've been distant with me. I wanna talk to you about it, I miss your exhausting joke making."

Lucifer states, his exaggerated pout is hilarious and I giggle. He's an idiot.

" John. He sounded like he was a charming chap. Tell me about him."

My smile turned upside down, frowning a little staring at my wrist to my bracelet.

" I didn't get to know my granddad. As you may know, the day he died I was barely a year old. I couldn't.. I couldn't really remember him, but I do know growing up before my own father was killed, I would be told stories of how my grandpa he'd take me in to the station. Right here. Show me the crime scene pictures, of that day, even after my real mother would yell at him in front of all of his co-workers for showing me that. Saying I was way too young to see it." I laugh, heartedly, at the mental idea of my mother Catrina having a go at her father in law. " I had a Cop theme party for my eighth birthday."

" Amen! Amen! Look. Look at what I got, for my birthday! It's a powlice badge and look! It has my name on it. Uncle Dan got it for me! I said thank you like you taught me."

An eight year old little girl me, in my memory, yells in excitement at getting her first 'offical' badge.

I remember running into Amen's arm, he was hidden from the humans as this was before he decided humanity was worth a moment of his time, not taking an existential role for him to hate on.

Amenadiel caught little me in his arms. He cracked a smile, showing off his bright teeth.

" Birthdays. A human confectionery that gives them the excuse to celebrate their day of life, and indulge in materialism. But, for you, I've made an exception. Little Angel. You see this?"

He pried his hand away, holding me up in one of his arms, pulling out a glowing silver-made pendant out from his gown.

" This is enchanted to protect you. It's to Put you out of harms way. You are too young to understand but once you are of age. I will give this to you. For now I'll give it to your father to safe keep."

" Turns out the pendant was melted down, mix in with some divine magic with the help of one of his siblings which he didn't specify whom he conspired with, and he gave it to me. He came clean about lying about the truth behind it. He said Nat.. my dad gifted it to me. Even though I had the memory of my party and such." I told Lucifer, he was abnormally silent. Listening to how I told him my life story. " What has me the most confused is why he did give this to me."

Did he know I was in danger this whole time? Because I am wasn't a normal human? I never did feel like I belonged in my time as a human, growing up. My first and only friend had been an Angel of god. A brother to me.

" My brother works in mysterious ways, Ellie. I like to think that underneath his self-righteous and spiteful heart, he is just like any other man who wants to show his affection. In his.. own mystery ways."

Lucifer said, intuitively and the face I made must've been fuel to his loud laugh which dials down in tone when he sobers up. I feel my lips twitch. " I am surprised my dear, dear, brother showed his face at your party. He thinks humans celebrating their anniversary of arrival is futile because they are on borrowed time. A big waste of energy."

' Sounds about right.'

I cleared my throat and I change the topic of the subject. " I told doctor Linda. You know? About Me. She won't return any of my calls, all our sessions are cancelled. I don't know what else to do. It feels like she has chosen not to associate with me no more."

Her avoiding me altogether had me thinking, of if I made the right move on my part to tell Linda I wasn't a human anymore. It would've been out there come the future when I don't age like i should've.

" Thats great! At least you were honest with Linda, Darling. But also little bit of information, I might or might've not also showed who I truely am, myself. I have the feel she already did tell you. Am I right?"

'Like you wouldn't know.'

If there is anything that could cheer me up is a good walk on Venice beach, Aidan and the kids are at home with Aidan caring his sisters while I found peace in the walk.

I couldn't shake the sense I was being followed, which I hate about being right of, as I had seen Amenadiel peak a few seconds ago behind a brick wall of a salon.

" Really? Amen? I can see you." I announced, crossing my arms, popping my hip out with an eyebrow cocked. " come on I thought we were past the stage where you follow me, and you're thinking to yourself I don't know you are."

His body came into view, shoulders slouched and I take in his bloodshot eyes. Cheeks stained by a strain of tears. He's been crying. It's a forlornly painful thing to see the one man, who is strong all the time and not once cracked under any pressures of sins which came with humanity, I knew appear so tired.

" Let's go talk somewhere private. Away from the humans and their ears."

I suggest, going up to my guardian Angel, his grey sweatshirt that he wore crinkled at the touch.

A few humans in sight made a few side steps, Smiling at me then at amen, whisper amongst theirselves saying we were a cute couple. I was a great 'Girlfriend' for comforting him.

Both amen and I cringed, once they were out of sight, he chuckled warily. 'That's uncomfortable. If only they knew.'

Coming back home to Maze having the warden who let Joe fields out, gagged on my sofa, was not on my list of things I expected to see today.

He was beaten, his muffled yells of pain were muted thanks to maze duct taping his mouth, and i automatically searched for the kids. This is Not a kid friendly sight.

" Went over to your aunts place, got to talking with her about your grandfathers case. Push came to shove, I might have or might have Not take a peak at the files she had and Bam! Here is your crooked cop."

She stood up, wielding her blade.

" I got bored. It felt like the right thing to do, you know, and I wanted you to get your revenge. I see it, your eyes are all fiery. He is the one that made Joe confess to killing your granddad, Lizzie." Maze held my shoulders, glaring at the warden. " He's who killed him. Caused you to suffer. It's all his fault. It's his fault you don't have him in your life no more. What are you doing to do? Hmm."

Maze had the right idea, a sense of justice was brewing in my mind, but there is just no use in giving the satisfaction of beating the death out of the warden. That would make it worse than it is already with him being here.

Instead I step towards the tied up prison warden, ripping off the duct tape, and stare him in his widen horrified eyes.

" You are going to rot in the same prison, in the same place, as those you were in there. You suffering inside knowing this has come back to haunt you is good enough punishment, for me. You're going away for a Long time."

Red and blue lights flash across my house as I hear the door is kicked in, by none other than my aunt and dad came running over to where I stand. Gathering me in his arms. He's going to a place where hell on earth awaits him.

~โ€ข~

It's always surprises me when Lucifer invites himself into my home, at this rate he might as well live here, now I am in the kitchen making an afternoon meal for a snack.

The same thing I made for Ana earlier in the day. Speaking of Ana, she sat across from me while Aidan and Amelia are in the kitchen helping me.

They've made their own snacks and saving me stress of making seperate dishes. " There you go, Ana banana. Just how you like it. Eat up."

Ana goes to reach for the sandwich but Lucifer sweeps in for the steal. " Luc.. that is for Ana. I can make you one all you had to do was ask."

I scowled, light I tapped him on his wrist with a spatula. Ana giggled, grinning mischievously up her father.

" It's okay, daddy was hungry, Mommy. He can have it. You made more of em anyway!"

Ana exclaimed, and hums a tune, as i see her take an extra sandwich. Lucifer groans.

" Why does she have to be so .. Her. So nice. It is nausea inducing. Go, child. Let Mummy and I alone while you go eat that. You two, you go as well. Let the adults speak."

He shooed a hand making a Go away sign, towards Aidan. Amelia smirked, at her twin, and subtly shook her head. Aidan dusted his hands, whilst each of the girls exited the space, patting my arm.

I crossed my legs, leaning all my weight on one side. Lucifer sighs.

" Look. I don't care much for my dad. Let alone know the feeling of ever having the chance to have a grandfather, cause let's be real I don't. But it's obvious to me you miss him, even if you didn't really know him. He'd.. he'd be proud of you, Darling. He would be proud of the woman you made yourself into and I know for sure I am. I'm proud of you."

I didn't expect to hear that from Lucifer. He is a pariah of all, and everything, things I didn't know he could be. Thoughtful. Sweet. I knew I am quick to jump and call him an egotistic jerk which he can be, at times.

To hear him say he's proud of me and my grandpa would be too made a few tears slip away. His face flickers at my sudden hug, embracing him, and he hooks his arms around me tight. I rolled my eyes as I feel him try to remove my bra strap.

" You know I can feel you trying to undress me. Stop it, there are kids here."

" Yeah, don't do that, Dad."

Aidan called out, he barked out a laugh when Lucifer deadpans.

" I know the face you are making. Caught you."

" Shut it, devil child."








JASMINE SPEAKS;

How did we like this chapter?

I thought I have Lucifer and Ellie bond a little more. I had fun writing the flashback scene of amen and Ellie. Really dive into what it's like, in her past, and will try to write more scenes of flashbacks. We got to see soft amenadiel, and how Catrina was like when she was alive.

What would like to see in the form of a flash-back?

Leave your thoughts in the comments! I got a few more ideas I like to do for this part.
