Rin pov

I wake up and Lucifer and Egyn are still talking. 

"This is a copy of the list of scars and their place on Rin the pediatrician found," Lucifer replies. Egyn reads it and by the first page, he is horrified. Lucifer also gives the papers to Astaroth. Anger fills both of them.

I don't like it, they are getting scary.

 "Skip to the back page," Lucifer says to both of them. They do. They feel something more than anger. More than hate. More than despise. More than scorn. The room fills with rage, wrath, and fury.

Astaroth ends up leaving the room. "Is this true?" 

Egyn asks angrily. Lucifer hands him a picture. Egyn's anger grows. 

I shrink into Lucifer, and he holds me tighter. "Rin you are awake," Lucifer says. "Are you ready to eat?"

"I'm not that hungry," I reply. 

"Trust me Rin you will be once you start eating," Lucifer replies.

I nod. Lucifer sits back down on the bed and he holds me in his lap. After a few moments, Astaroth walks in with some food. Lucifer has his tail wrapped around me again. Astaroth gives me the food and I begin eating.

No one will hurt him again. I am disappointed in Samael that he even let Rin be taken, or that he even put Rin with that exorcist. 

A Nephilim exorcist nonetheless. Even with his demonic heritage, he could not protect Rin. Humans could never do the job of a demon. It's our job to look after Rin, not the Paladin. Rin is none of the human's business. He is our prince, not theirs so they need to keep their impure hands off our beloved prince.

No one will put their hands on my little prince ever again.

Lucifer suddenly became different. Almost dangerous but not towards me but towards someone maybe even a group of people. But I don't feel sad... I feel safe. I wonder what he is thinking. Once I am finished with my food Astaorth takes the plate away.

It's just Egyn, Lucifer, and me in the room again. "So Rin could you show us your tail?" Egyn asks. I nod and I unravel it from my waist. One day in the cell a demon from another cell told me to hide it so I did. The doctor still made me take it out to develop curses with it although it only hurt a lot, a lot more than the other test, and after a while, that stopped. 

Lucifer stares at my tail, he gently picks it up and inspects it. Egyn studies it as well. Lucifer traced a finger down the center. Egyn makes notes about my tail. 

"They kept hundreds of demons at that facility yet they have no idea how to properly take care of one's tail?" Lucifer growls.

"It looks like more was done than just improper care," Egyn replies. Lucifer studies it further and then growls. "Egyn go get me a brush, it will take his tail a while to heal but for now we can it least get it untangled."

Egyn nods and he walks out of the room. 

"What did they do to you?" Lucifer mutters softly to himself, it's hard to hear exactly what he is saying. "How could they be so cruel to you?" Lucifer asks. I look up back at him. I don't know why. That's a lie, I do know why. It's because I am the spawn of Satan.

I feel like this is a trick question. "I deserved it," I reply. That's what I have been told. That's what they said. It's because I was the son of Satan. 

Looks back at me shocked. I turn around and I put a hand on his face. "Lucifer?" I ask. Lucifer hugs me. 

"Those exorcists did an evil thing to you. It was evil to do to anyone. Especially a young innocent child. You were forced into the middle of a war you wanted nothing to do with. I'm sorry that you got dragged into this," Lucifer says.

"But I am the child of satan," I reply. "he hurt so many people and I was helping make up the difference." 

"But you didn't. There is nothing you could do to fix what has already occurred at the hands of another. The Vatican lacks morals and they decided to take that out on you. That's the truth no matter what they claim," Lucifer states. 

"But the Vatican is good," I reply. 

"No, they are far more evil than you would think. They lie more than we ever have, and they will hurt you again and again. But as long as you stay here, you will be safe," Lucifer replies.

Egyn walks back in. Lucifer is handed a brush and he gently brushes my tail. I whine when he runs over a tangle. "I am sorry Rin. This is not going to feel too good but it will help your tail heal," Lucifer replies. 

I nod. I nuzzle into his chest. He is comforting. He is my savior... the one who saved me... Lucifer... Illuminati. Both of them relate to light. Illumnesent and illuminate. Both are light. I like the light. Lucifer is light and he saved me. I like him. I like Lucifer.
