OK SO THE NORMAL SPIEL. I DO NOT OWN LUCIFER OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS CONTAINED WITHIN. I wanted to also apologize in advance for the formatting. I know it's a bit off but I was having some technical difficulties, but wanted so badly to get this out. So I hope you enjoy...

DANGEROUS GAME PART 3

Life had a funny way of working out, at least that's what she thought before she met him. Now she just thought that the current series of events were just the punch line to a long running joke. Something bigger was happening and she understood that the time she spent failing to see the bigger picture was costing her. At the moment she was experiencing the first of her errors in great detail. She'd made it home after leaving Lucifer's and for a moment forgot about the encounter with his mother. She could feel the woman pulling at the strings in her mind and after Lucifer's reaction she was naïve to lower her guard. This internal dialogue would have to wait though, the ringing in her ears was becoming louder. She tried to ignore it but found that the harder she tried the louder it became. She couldn't move her body, she scrunched her face attempting to block it out. She heard a voice then barely a whisper… Don't resist.

She found it difficult but the moment she stopped it's as if everything was as it should be. She felt no pain, she could move her body, and she smiled. She had never felt more at ease. Still she couldn't open her eyes.

The ringing subsided, and she heard the most beautiful voice, full of warmth speak to her.

You can't see me with your eyes my child, you feel me with your heart, and as the words resonated through her she felt like crying. She could feel it. The warmth entering her soul. A beautiful ache that comes from being loved wholly and without pretense.

She stood then, and felt the warmth pull her forward. Where are we going? She felt the warmth on her shoulder and realized she had been embraced.

The voice close to her ear. You are going home.

Where is that? She asked skeptically.

She could feel HIS smile.

Suddenly she was falling and a quick panic set in. Did he mean hell?!

Her eyes snapped open, and she sat up with a gasp.

Looking around she found it was dark outside, and she was back in her bed. Her eyes unfocussed she searched for her gun. It was gone. Holding her head she felt for a moment as if her head might explode then all at once she was fine.

She heard a low voice from the corner. He has that effect on people. Following the voice she found Lucifer sitting in a chair in the corner of her room.

Her eyes finally focusing she found him in his normal attire black slacks and white button up shirt slightly undone. He looked dashing. His face though was contrite. She could tell he felt guilty. She debated whether or not he was. In the end she understood that he was as much a victim as she.

She placed her head in her hands, what is happening she offered, as way of beginning the conversation.

Lucifer didn't answer right away, and when he did he leaned forward bowing his head allowing his hair to shift forward covering his eyes.

I'm sorry, it seems I've made a mess of things.

She peered at him.

Taking her silence as agreement he continued. I didn't mean for this to happen and even worse I have no clue what to do to stop it. Chloe you're in danger and I don't know how to stop what's coming.

When she looked away from him he dropped to his knees before her, but I promise I will do everything in my power to keep you and Trixie safe.

She was still silent and he wasn't sure where to go from there. He bowed his head before her and was shocked when he felt her hand on his head.

I met your dad.

Lucifer tensed only momentarily.

He is wonderful.

Lucifer felt the jealousy rise.

None of what's happened with regards to your mother and father is your fault.

Lucifer looked up then.

She was staring straight ahead. It's never the child's fault. She smiled reciting the same speech she gave to Trixie when she and Dan separated. Sometimes things don't work out but they both love you and want what's best for you, only difference is now you're a grown man and you have to decide what you want, because the way I see it, they've been influencing your behavior.

You've been lashing out at them, at me, at anyone who tried to get close to you. You've been running for a long time Lucifer. It's time to stop running and face what you're afraid of.

She cast her eyes to him. I'll help you.

He couldn't speak. She had spoken to the fear in his soul and he felt his hatred, rooted in that fear begin to wane.

Oh my God he spoke, looking at her now he could see it. What she was. There was a glow to her, and for a moment he questioned if she were an angel, but this glow was far too bright. No she was no angel, Chloe Decker was a star.

He sighed heavily leaning into her hand. This explained everything. His need to be near her, her volatile nature, the gravity of her. She shined brightest in his world. That light it wasn't his fathers it was her own.

But how…? How had she come to inhabit a mortal form, be born to human parents?

Looking up at her he sighed again this time standing to tower above her. Chloe I….

This time she sighed as if knowing what he was about to say and feeling the need to stop him before he began. You can stop with the self-pity now.

Wha.. excuse me?

You heard me. You're about to make some grand speech and I'm not interested.

You're not interested in my apology?

Not really, no.

She rose from the bed. Moving across the room while removing her shirt and throwing it in the corner, grabbing another from her closet. He couldn't help but watch her. She was magnificent. When she was done she looked at Lucifer. Look this doesn't change anything, as far as I'm concerned you're still you and you are selfish.

He stared her down. You're joking? At a time like this you're still dwelling on the past.

How is it the past it just happened?! You're telling me you've changed since we last spoke?

Yes he said standing tall.

Right, look you're not a one woman man and I refuse to be just one of your play things or the ass you tap on the weekends, so let's just end it here.

I don't want to.

Sometimes it's not about what you want it's about what's best. I have a child, she can't go through this emotional roller coaster with me.

Chloe don't do this.

You did this. She said her voice cold.

I wasn't the one who showed up to my penthouse and threw themselves at me.

Oh so now I threw myself at you?!

Yes you did, "oh Lucifer thank you for saving me and my child". As if I would let you and your bloody offspring die!

Chloe's face twisted at his mocking tone. You're an asshole. This whole thing is your fault, you forced your way into my life! Planted yourself in my path at every turn and for what?! The first sign of anything real and you're back to your old tricks. What the hell do you want Lucifer?! You want someone to follow you around like some love sick puppy?! Is this a game to you?!

No! I have been nothing but honest with you since the moment I met you, can you say that about any other man you've been with.

She knew that was a dig at Dan. She forced herself to breath. Just because you believe it's the truth doesn't make it so!

Lucifer felt the blood drain from his face that had been the exact line Dr. Linda had given him.

You may not lie to me but that's because you're too busy lying to yourself. You've convinced yourself that what's been happening between us is all just some trick of the mind that once I give you what you want you'll get over whatever it is you feel for me but you know that isn't true. That won't stop you from destroying it though in some vein attempt at maintaining control!

Lucifer was floored.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get to work.

You can't be serious?!

Of course I am.

Blocking her path to the door he scowled, I don't think you understand the severity of what's happening here. My mother, Goddess of all creation is right at this moment thinking of colorful ways to end your life, and you're going out there and willingly putting yourself in harm's way? Why not slather yourself in honey and wait for the bears, it'd be less painful I promise you.

Chloe found her gun and strapped it to her thigh.

That's not going to work!

It worked on you.

Lucifer grabbed her roughly then. We know why that is! She isn't affected by you the way that I am!

What do you expect me to do then?! Just sit in here waiting for her to pounce on me like some deranged animal. I won't do it!

What about Trixie?

Chloe's eyes shot to his, what are you saying?

My mother was here last night remember, but she wasn't waiting for you. She was here to…

Chloe pushed against him, to WHAT?!

The silence was deafening.

Lucifer, tell me she wasn't here for my daughter! Oh my God what would she have done to a child?!

Lucifer averted his eyes then. He truly didn't want to elaborate. He'd seen his mother do some awful things in her time and she was not above hurting a child.

No! Chloe yelled. This has to stop! I refuse to let your mother hurt my child! Over my dead fucking body!

Where is Trixie now?!

She's with Dan downstairs.

Pushing him aside she made her way down.

She found them in the living room watching TV.

Trixie upon seeing her mother ran to her immediately. Mommy!

As Trixie made it to her mother's arms something shattered the window beside them. Chloe shielded Trixie turning her away from the flying glass. She moved away just, as more of the others began to shatter around them.

It was a piercing sound that followed, and Chloe could feel wetness on her shirt. Trixie had begun to bleed from her ears. She pressed her tighter to herself looking for a place to hide. She was finding it hard to see the screaming sound was excruciating. Her vision blurring she watched black feathers surround her. The sound suddenly becoming less. Looking up she could see Amenadiel shielding them.

She couldn't see where Lucifer or Dan were but she hoped they were alright.

The sound suddenly stopped, and Amenadiel withdrew his wings.

She looked down at Trixie who'd fainted.

Amenadiel cast a hand over her clearing away the drying blood. She'll be fine.

Thank You, was all she said before looking over at Dan's unconscious body.

Amenadiel healed him as well.

She looked around for Lucifer but he was nowhere to be found. Suddenly the front door was pushed open and a body tossed inside. Chloe was shocked. It looked like some sort of bird.

Amenadiel moved closer. Lucifer is that a?

Bloody Harpy, he finished.

How is it here, those are hellion creatures?!

How are Maze mother and I here? Obviously there are ways around.

She must have brought one with her.

A shadow crossed Amenadiels face.

Looking out at the sky, his face hardened… Not just one…

Turning Lucifer could see the dark mass moving across the sky.

For fucks sake… he groaned….

We've got to go.

Alright dont kill me, I know the formatting was all wrong, but my computer died and I wanted to upload this so I did so from my phone. I will be up and running again soon but wanted to get this out. Thanks for your continued support.
