Chapter 14
Song: Major Lazer - Be Together (feat. Wild Belle) (Vanic Remix)
After the girls and I had finished our nails, we decided to go head back over to Keith. We stood around in the backroom as Keith was currently making the dagger.
"So how long have you been a demon?" Keith asked as he carve the design onto the handle of the replica dagger.
I spun myself around in his chair, "A while now. I would say almost a year now," I replied.
"How did you and the guys react to you turning into a demon?" he asked. I shrugged, "For myself, I remember panicking then turning mad after awhile. I didn't really want to accept it. As for the guys, I'm not to sure. I knew they didn't want this for me but there was really no choice," I explained.
"What about you guys?" he spoke referring to Stella and Crystal who were stilling by a wooden table. "I'm just human," Stella spoke. "I'm human too but I'm also a witch," Crystal informed him.
"Must be fun being something other than human," he mumbled before blowing the dust off the knife.
Crystal shrugged, "Sometimes. Other times I just wish I was just human. No gift or anything," she sighed as if she wished she really wasn't a witch.
I stopped spinning in my chair and looked at her with curiosity. "How come?"
She shrugged, "Everyone always think so highly of me since I'm one of the most powerful witch which is great and all but sometimes its like everyone in the witch community is out to get me and some demons have tried to use me for their own benefit and threatened me as well," she spoke in disappointment.
I couldn't help but frown, "We'll if anyone tries to come after you or threaten you, send them our way. Stella and I will kick their ass," I offered. She let out a chuckle and gave me a small smile, "Thank you."
Some hours past buy and Keith had now finished the knife. The girls and I all stood behind him peeking over his shoulder at the two knifes laying in front of his, one replica and one original dagger. My eyes shifted from one to the other trying to distinguish the difference.
"You know which one is the original one?" I asked. Keith nodded his head and pointed to the original one. "The original had a little depth in this hold," he spoke showing us the hold through a magnifying glass. "The replica is just barely deep on the hold craved," he then showed us the replica.
"You can also feel the difference," he spoke handing me both daggers. I took both in each hand. He then guided my thumb on top. One felt rough and the other felt smooth. "The rough one is the replica. The smooth one is the original," he informed me.
"Keith, you did one Hell of a job. No pun intended," Crystal spoke as he also felt the knife then Stella felt it. Keith shot her a grin, "It's what I do," he casually played it off. I rolled my eyes but hugged him, "Thank you. Now I shall pay," I released him from the hug.
"What? No, I'm not going to let you pay. I don't mind. Think of it as a gift," he smiled. I rolled my eyes, "No, I'm paying you," I spoke as I walked to the front of the store to the cash register. I went type in a random item but Keith stopped me. "I'm serious Sky, you don't have to pay me," he spoke in a sincere voice.
"You either let me pay or I will just call and make a transaction to your account," I offered. He shook his head, "Or you can not be stubborn and accept it and as repayment, you could get me lunch one day," he suggested.
I looked at him debating whether or not to accept it. "Fine, lunch it is. Tell Grandpa I said 'hello'," I smiled as I hugged him again. He gave me a hug but this time we didn't let go.
"Whatever you're going to do, be safe," he whispered. I could feel Keith's emotion. He was worried and a bit fearful of what was going on despite knowing such little things about the situation. "I will," I reassured him before pulling away, "Also, don't tell the guys I was here," I noted. He nodded his head.
We said our goodbyes, and the girls and I headed back to the car. We then flashed inside the garage and got out the car before heading to the back of the house. We walked down the steps and Crystal turned to me with her hand held out. I gave her the replica knife for her to finish the ritual or whatever she was doing. During that time, I flashed back to Lucifer's weapon vault and placed the original knife back. He hadn't known I had taken it and if he knew, he would wonder why and quite honestly, I'm getting tired of covering everything up. It's both exhausting and irritating.
Flashing back to the room, I saw Crystal was stilling in the center of the room with lite candles around her. Some minutes past by and she stood up before passing me the knife.
"All done," she smiled. I hugged her and thanked her before doing the same to Stella. Crystal then proceed to me how the room worked. We all walked out and I watched as we stood in front the closed door.
"If you want to enter the other room, all you have to do is want to be in that room. Once you do, then you can just walk in," she instructed before placing me in front the door to try it out.
I did as told. I thought about the room and looked at Crystal who gestured for me to enter the room. I turned the knob and walked down the stairs. As I reached the bottom of the steps, the whole room was different. It didn't even look like an interrogation room. The room still had the size of a master bedroom but there was no furniture or anything. The walls were black and the floors were black. The room was dimly lite and cold.
"He will be trapped in this room for as long as you want. He will become human as long as he's in the room which means he will also need to be fed. As for using the bathroom, he wouldn't need to use it. There's only one problem with this though," she spoke looking at me. My eyebrow rose in concern.
"He needs blood to stay alive. He's a demon and he feeds on fear but alternative apporach would be supplying him with blood," she informed me.
My eyes widened at this new information. "How am I suppose to find blood?" I asked.
"Well...you're half human," she called out. I scoffed, "As if I will give him my blood. I'll figure it out. Anything else?" I asked.
She thought for a second before shaking her head. "Nope," she popped the 'p', "That's about it. You're all set."
We walked out the room and back up the stairs. I then teleported us back to Crystal's house. It was almost 7 in the evening. Stella suggested we should grab dinner but I turned her down. I told her that I just needed the night with Lucifer. They both understood and we spent 5 minutes just hugging. Looking at Stella and Crystal, I could see they wanted to cry.
"Just make sure you come back to us," Stella gave a small smile and she hugged me again then released me.
"I promise," I spoke in a soft tone before hugging Crystal.
I thanked them both and flashed home to hide the replica dagger. I took a shower then flashed into Lucifer's house. I towards his office to see two guys standing out front. They gave me a small smile to which smiled at them. I knocked on the door and it opened revealing Quinn. She opened the door for me and I walked in looking around the room to see Liana was also in here along with Axel, and Micah.
Lucifer was behind his desk sitting back in his chair as he looked at his laptop. His eyes slowly trailed up to me causing a smile to twitch on his lips. "Am I intruding?" I asked.
He shook his head and motioned for me to come. I walked over to him and he pulled me down on his lap. I sat back and he rest his head on my back. I could feel how exhuasted he was with this. I looked towards Liana who was just sitting in her chair. I gave her a small smile, "Thank you for recusing us the other night," I was referring to myself, Gabe and a little of Mel.
She nodded, "Of course."
The room drifted off into silence.
Lucifer then sat up, "Everyone, just go rest. Be ready for tomorrow and tell those two outside they can leave," he spoke in a stern tone. They all nodded and walked out the room. I turned on Lucifer's lap only for him to rest his head on my chest.
"How about we just order some food, shower then sleep," I suggested as I passed my hand through his hair. "That songs good. Chinese?" he suggested in a tired voice.
"Sure. What would you like?" I asked.
"White rice with sesamee chicken and broccoli."
I pulled my phone out and ordered the food for us. I got white rice with shrimps and broccoli. The order was going to take about 20 minutes because of how far we lived. I looked down to see Lucifer's head still on my chest. I gently grabbed his chin and tilted it up so he was looking at me. He looked like he was about to fall asleep any minute.
"I've never seen you this tired," I admitted. He let out a tired laugh, "I feel like I just got stoned to death." I cupped his face, "Go shower. When you come out, the food will be here," I planted a kiss on his lips.
"How about I just sleep on the floor," he chuckled gesturing he was too tired to take a shower. I shook my head, "Maybe the shower might help you feel better. Go," I insisted. He let out a sigh and planted another kiss on my lips before getting up. "If you don't see me before the food arrives, I drowned in the tub," he jokingly replied before disappearing. I shook my head at his horrible joke.
Whilst he was showering, I sat around in the kitchen, sipping on some whiskey. The doorbell rang and I flashed into my house to grab some cash from one of my draws before flashing back to Lucifer's house. I headed to the door and paid for the food. I then set the food up in the living room for Lucifer along with a coke. I got myself some water.
Sitting on the couch, I turned the t.v on and watched Daddy Day Care. The couch sank next to me and I turned to see Lucifer in a white shirt and sweats. "Thanks," he muffled out as he started to eat.
"No problem," I replied as I started to eat. We sat in silence eating our food. By the time we were finish, it was almost 9. We spent an hour just relaxing on the couch. No words or looks was exchanged. Lucifer took my hand in his causing me to look at him. He was looking at my nail. "Smart," he commented not needing an explanation.
"Thanks," I softly replied.
He then reached over and placed me on his lap. His thumb glide over my hand in circular motion. "I know we're not officially married yet but I'm glad you're going to be my future wife. I don't think I would be happy without you. Just looking at you makes me so happy," he spoke in a soft voice as a smile rose to his face. "If anything was to happen, I'm glad to have you by my side," he added before kissing my cheek.
A small wrong rose to my lips, "Don't say it like that. Don't say it like you're going to die or something."
He let out a chuckle and planted another kiss on my cheek. "I'm not going anywhere."
Within a blink, I found myself on his bed. We spent the rest of the night holding each other. Something about being in his arms just made me feel safe and that says a lot considering I could come back to life and heal with the demon thing. I watched as he slowly drifted off to sleep holding me in his arms. I couldn't help but smile. We've come such a long way together. I never thought I would live the day where I would be a demon let along met to Devil himself or even fight for him. No one would believe the Devil himself protects and cares for me. He makes sure I'm his number one priority and will drop everything just to make sure I'm okay. He not only makes sure I'm safe but my family as well.
If this isn't love, I don't know what is.
