"My soul is old, by body is young, my mind drifts in between."-Unknown

Chloe moaned a little as she slowly sat up in the hospital bed. She let out a shaky sigh as she ran her hand gently over the stomach.

Her mind slowly trying to piece together the events of the previous day, but her head was in a thick fog. Her hand gently traced the sides of her body as she felt a slight twinge if pain along the side of her stomach as let out a soft groan.

"I would be careful examine yourself if I were you." A smooth accented voice said as Chloe slowly picked her head up to see who it was coming from.

Had someone been in their the whole time?

Was she really that lost in whatever had happened that she hadn't even noticed the complete stranger standing by the window of her room.

The man who was leaning against the window, was even though Chloe hated to admit these kind of things, was very a attractive man. His dark hair was very meticulously done, in a perfect well kept sweep, as he dark eyes shown. He wore a three piece suit, that looked more expensive than anything Chloe could own/did own. He stared at her as he absent mindedly played with a ring on his finger. Chloe stared at him for a few moments, before he cut back in.

"You know love, it's not kind to stare." A smirk flashed on his face. Chloe rolled her eyes at his comment as his smile stayed on his face.

She let out a soft sigh as she leaned her head back on her pillow. Her body hurt awfully as she leaned back, not really processing what was really going on.

The man that stood their, she had no idea who he was. With that thought finally fully making its way into her stream of thought she bolted back up her body twinged in pain as she did but she ignored it.

"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Chloe asked a little bit of concern in her voice.

What had happened. What had been so bad that she couldn't remember meeting or even ever seeing this man.

Then again...she hardly remember what had happened in the first place.

Chloe pulled up to the scene of the crime her police jacket tightly wrapped around her body, as she strolled into the moonlit graveyard. She took a shaky breath as a puff of air crossed her face as she made her way onto the crime scene.

"Man, this is nuts." Dan said as he caught up to Chloe as he also held back a shiver.

"Do we know what happened?"

Dan shrugged a bit as they headed into a very old mausoleum. "Something to do with a cult was all that I heard from the report I got." He pulled up the tape for her as they both strolled in. The stench of death hitting both of them a little hard then usual.

Chloe was tempted to pull her face into her jacket, as she saw Dan visibly gag. "Oh, god." He murmured as he turned back and almost threw up. Chloe let out a soft scoff as she questioned how she had been married to that man, ever. Though, a moment later Chloe almost took back that internal notion, as she saw the site before them.

There on the floor was a body, ripped open to shreds. Eternal organs, and other vital parts of the victims body spilled all over the floor as they walked a bit closer to the victim. Dan turned again gagging once more as they got even closer. "I did not sign up for this!" He muttered as he bent over holding back a gag.

Chloe rolled her eyes as she held in her own expression of her stomach fighting against her.

Around the body were animal carcass that made the scene even harder to stomach, but something told Chloe it was going to get even worse. Chloe took a step towards the victim as she saw an even worse sigh.

Her face had been carved into, with a large pentagram all around her face, the lines even cutting through her eyes. Causing them to spill even more blood onto her dead body. Chloe let out a soft sigh. "Who would do this…" she said softly as Dan moved back to her side.

"There's a few members of the 'cult' outside waiting to be questioned...if you wanna get out of here…" He looked at Chloe. "You know...not that I want to."

She laughed a little as they headed out of the building. "Alright, well it's a good chance to give your stomach a break." She teases as they headed out to the graveyard again to question a few guys who looked like they had just come back

from a punk Harry Potter convention.

"You doing alright their, love." The man said again pulling Chloe back out of her day dream. She looked back at him, examining him again.

"Ok, who are you again? You know cause you didn't answer the first time I did."

"Oh, I did darling. I guess it was just far too boring for your human mind, because before I was even halfway done explaining you had ran off to La La land which is funny, cause I thought we were already there." He smirked again, and Chloe really wanted to punch that smirk of his face.

Wait did he say human?

Ok, so hot, but a wack job.

Fantastic.

"It's not my fault...that...well that something happened...that I can't remember." She said rubbing her head in irritation.

"Oh, well that's easy to answer." He said as he took a step towards her bed. "You see you were-"

"Alright, miss decker. Your all checked up, everything looks good and you'll be fine to go home as soon as you sign off on the paper work." A nurse said as she glanced down at the clip board. The nurse pulled her head up for a moment later to look at Chloe, she flashed her a smile as she handed her the board. Not seeming to notice the man beside her as she did. Chloe gave the nurse a puzzled look as she took the clipboard. "Is something wrong?" The nurse question as she moved over to check on Chloe, as she did she walked right towards the man. Not seeming to notice him at all.

"Hey, watch o-" Chloe said but it was too late, the women passed right through him! Chloe quickly scrambled up against the back of her bed as the nurse gave her a shocked look.

"Miss decker, are you alright." The nurse said as Chloe backed away from her a bit.

The man just snickered wildly.

"Y-you don't see the man in here!" Chloe snapped as she pointed towards where the man was standing. The nurse took a quick double take.

"What man?" She moved over and gently touched Chloe's forehead as Chloe relaxed a bit. "Hmmm, you don't have a fever…" Chloe gave her a puzzled look again. "I think we need to keep you overnight again, and run a few more tests." The nurse said as she took the clipboard back from Chloe, and headed out of the room.

The man started to snicker, then laughing wildly.

"Oh, I'm glad your so amused." Chloe said crossly. As she glared at him. "Mind telling what the hell is going on! That women just walked right through you!"

"Well that tends to happen when your only a spirit," he said as he grabbed a chair and sat down in it.

"W-wait you dead?"

He gave her a shocked look. "What, oh father no. I am mostly certainly not dead."

"Then how are you a spirit?" She shook her head. "What am I even saying, spirits aren't real."

He shot her a, "oh really?" Look as she moaned, and leaned back down again.

"I must have really hit my head...very very hard."

"Actually, I don't believe you hit your head at all." He said pointing to her stomach. "Only your side was injured."

She rolled her eyes. "That's not helping."

"Right." He said straightening himself up a bit. "Ok, long story short. I some how ended up back on earth, and only connected to you."

Chloe let out another soft moan as she rubbed her head gently. "That makes zero sense." She murmured.

"Well, yes for you humans it would make no sense." He said calmly as she leaned back into his chair.

"Ok, why do you keep saying 'you humans', what planet are you from, London." She quipped getting a small smile from him when she did.

His smile sending a ripple of sensations through her body. It was soft, and gentle. All the while being wicked, and devious. It was both wonderful, and slightly alarming at the same time.

"I assure you, I'm not an alien."

"Then what are you?"

The smile faded and his eyes seemed to darken. "It's better if you don't know." He said in a tone that almost made Chloe's skin crawl.

"O-ok…" She said softly, as she looked away from him.

She was going completely nuts. A man who was dead...or something was now somehow attached to her. In someway, or another. This man wasn't telling her who he was, or exactly what h was ether.

"What's your name?" She said after a moment of silence. He looked at her, his eyes darkening again.

"Once again, better if I don't say."

Ok, so a secretive soul of sorts. Fantastic. How was she supposed to fully understand what was going on if he didn't even tell her his name. He seemed to pick up on her frustration of the situation. "I can tell you anything else, just not my name, or what I am." He said calmly, trying to reassure her.

She let out a soft huff, but nodded to him. "Alright, fine. Then what am I supposed to call you?"

He put his hand to his chin, as he gently rubbed the stubble that lined his chin. "Lu, you can call me Lu."

She raised an eyebrow. "Is that short for something?"

He shrugged. "No clue," he said with a devious smirk.

"Alright, fine play that game." She reached her hand out towards her, even though she didn't know if he could touch her. "Decker, Chloe Decker." She said softly.

He looked at her hand and extended his, gently grasping her hand. Which seemed to shock both of them. His shock faded much faster than Chloe's and he firmly shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Miss Decker." His attention then turned to the window and smirked wildly again. "But, I may suggest you stop shaking my hand. People are starting to stare, darling."

Chloe's head whipped to the side, where several nurses and doctors were looking at the women who was, at least in their eyes, shaking hands with the air. Her face turned bright red, as she wrapped the blankets around her.

"Your very cute when your flustered."

"Shut up."

It took some major convincing to the doctors, but after they examined her again for any kind of brain damage. Which the results came back with nothing. Chloe was able to leave. Lu, following beside her stride for stride. As she tried to keep her head down, and not have any more nurses think she was crazy. Lu, went on quipping about how one nurse had a pretty nice rack, and that a certain doctor was someone he would, 'ride like hell.' Chloe bit down on her lip as she held back her rubbutle to get Lu to shut up, and just let her think in peace for a moment. She however didn't want to risk getting thrown into the looney bin. She kept quiet until they made out of the hospital and she was able to relax a bit.

"Did you see that last women, if I had my body." He said with a wicked smirk, as he smacked his lips.

Chloe glared at him as she headed towards the car. Trying her hardest not to yell at the man she was now somehow stuck with.

He shot his hands up in defense. "I was merely just stating a fact." Chloe was almost to the car when from behind her she heard a familiar voice.

"Chloe!" Dan came running over to her, flowers in hand. Chloe noticed Lu, get a little uncomfortable at the sight of Dan. His hands tensed and his eyes darkened. Chloe ignored his mood change, for a man who talked about the things he would do with other people, he sure didn't like the idea of Chloe possibly having a man in her life from the looks of it. "Chloe, I'm so glad your ok." Dan said as he hugged her, and Chloe could have sworn she felt the air get warmer. Chloe gently pulled away from Dans hug.

"Who is this man?" Lucifer muttered as he looked Dan over head to toe.

"Dan," Chloe said. Trying to fill Lu in a bit, without seeming crazy to her ex husband. "We're separated...do you think this is appropriate?" Chloe question.

"Ah, ex." Lu said, as he eased up a bit.

"Come on Chloe, you were injured I was worried about you." He said gently handing her the flowers.

"That or he is just desperate."

Chloe shot him a look, as Dan gave her a weird look himself. "What are you looking at Chloe?" He said looking at where Lu was in Chloe's vision, but not seeing anything.

"Nothing." She mumbled, no longer looking at Lu. "Look, Dan the flowers are a sweet gesture. But I think we need to completely distance ourselves romantically for a while."

Lu, nodded. "Well, said Detective." He said flashing her a nice smile, but she just ignored him for the moment.

"Come on Chloe, don't be like this." He said gently taking her hand gently. "Come on, the doctors were concerned about you Chloe. I just need to make sure your ok."

"Doesn't he know you can take care of yourself." Lu, retorted to himself.

"Dan, I'm fine let it go." Chloe said heading to her car. Lu following along side of her.

"Come on Chloe."

"She said no you, douche." Lu spat at Dan. Getting a soft laugh from Chloe. Dan scowled a little bit at that.

"Fine, get more sick or whatever." He threw his hands up in defeat. "I'll see you tomorrow when you come to get Trixie." He said in a huff throwing the flowers on the ground.

Chloe groaned a bit as she slid in the car. She groaned and slammed her hand down on the steering wheel, as Lu slid in two the passenger seat.

"What a douche." Lu remarked as she Chloe angrily started the car. "Your ex seems to have you quite rattled, Detective."

"You could say that." She huffed as she started down the road.

"Doesn't he realize your a big girl, and can handle things on your own?"

Chloe pulled up to a red light and shot him a look. "And how would you know that I can take care of myself, hmm? You barely even know me. I don't even know you." She said in a tense voice, as she started down the road again. She could see that struck a chord with him, as he expression went from a stern look, to more of a wounded puppy. "I'm sorry, I'm just-"

He put his hand up to stop her. "No, no. You have a fair point there, Detective. I don't know you. Not really. I just watched you sleepy for two days, wondering how and why I was back on earth. After trying to get three people's attention I realized they couldn't see me…" his words were soft, with a hint of pain in his voice. He looked out the window as he sighed a bit.

"Why did you stay then?" Chloe asked quietly.

"I don't know...I don't understand this anymore than you really...but for some reason I was drawn to you. Like your soul called mine."

"My soul?" She raised her eyebrow a bit as she questioned that.

"Well, I'm without my true body...must still be in hell." He said softly.

"Wait!" She nearly slammed on the breaks. "Hell!"

He chuckled a little at that. "You seemed shocked by this Detective. Yes, hell. I was in hell."

"Why were you in hell!?" She practically shouted. "And hell's real!"

"I feel like the whole, heaven and hell thing should be easier to grasp then you being the only human to see me, darling."

Chloe sighed and nodded a bit. "No, there equally hard." She took a deep breath and relaxed herself. "Why were you in hell."

"My father sent me there."

"Your dad, your dad's the reason your in hell?"

Lu, nodded sharply. "Yes, more or less. Dad always had to have his way, in everything I did."

Chloe rubbed her temple with one hand as she pulled into the driveway of her mother's beach house. "You make no sense, you know this?"

"Says the women currently talking to nothing."

She parked the car and sighed. "Ok, but you were saying, that you were drawn to me...or something." She asked, honestly curious about what he was getting at with that, before the whole hell and Dad bombs dropped on her.

"Your a curious one aren't you?"

She shrugged a bit. "I'm a detective, it's kind of part of my job."

"Touché, Detective." She laughed slightly at that, which made her smile a bit. "As I was saying, my body is still in hell. My soul is just here...but only seemingly attached to yours. Most likely why I felt as if I couldn't leave your side for those several days you were asleep." He said as they both slipped out of the car and headed into the house.

Chloe let out a soft sigh. "This is crazy, isn't it?" She said looking at Lu, who held back a laugh.

"Darling, you haven't even heard the craziest part of all of this."

"Do I even want to know?" He laughed and shook his head.

"No, probably not." He said as they headed inside the house. She sighed and plopped down on the couch as soon as they walked inside. Letting out a deep sigh of as she grabbed and pillow and shut her eyes.

"Are you ok, Detective." Lu asked as she sat down in a chair across from the couch. Looking around the house a bit as they did.

Chloe pulled her head up from the pillow and looked at him. "Why do you care if I'm alright, we just met?"

He let out a soft sigh. "Detective, I thought we already discussed this. I care because for some reason, whether we truly like it or not, our souls are connected."

Chloe sat up and nodded. "And we're stuck together."

"Precisely." He said getting comfortable in the chair. "So, we might as well get cozy, Detective." He said raising his eyebrows, causing a pillow to be hurled at his head.

"Shut up." Chloe said with a slight laugh, causing Lu to smile happily.

Chloe fell asleep rather late that night, after a brief conversation with Lu. Trying to convince her that it would be better for them to know each other better by him sleeping with her. Which only caused all of the pillows to be removed from the couch, only to get him to whine about it, "being two days" without "company."

After that Chloe headed up stairs without him, leaving the lost soul, she couldn't think of a better way to describe him. Handing him a blanket and sending him on his way, before she disappeared upstairs.

Now, as she stretched forcing herself to wake up the idea of her soul somehow being attached to another soul, crossed her mind again.

Who exactly was he?

And what exactly had happened to her?

She sighed as she pulled herself out of bed, and headed downstairs to a sight that made her almost fall down the stairs.

Their, sprawled out on the couch that was a bit too small for the tall soul. He was still completely out, which was odd for a man who was merely just a soul. Chloe could admit to herself however that he was rather adorable, sound asleep. His hair that was perfectly neat yesterday now loose and curly, with a few curls dropping in front of his eyes. His button down shirt had been removed at some point, but Chloe silently praised who ever was out their, that his pants were still on. He let out a soft moan as he turned over in his sleep.

Chloe smiled a bit more, and moved over towards him. She didn't know what was going on with the two of them, but he had said they were drawn together for a reason, and as crazy as that sounded. She had no choice but to believe it. She moved over towards him, gently grabbing the blanket that had fallen over and bit as he moved in his sleep. Her hand froze when she noticed something.

Along his back, were two deep long gashes that almost in a weird way looked like wings. Her heart froze as she just stared at them.

She was on autopilot as her hands gently touched his back, as they slowly went for the scars. His eyes bolted open, and her hand was grabbed as he not purposely, pushed her down on the floor. His eyes were wide, glaring at her as she stared at him. "Don't." He muttered as she just started at him, still on the floor in utter disbelief. "Please...it's just." He said softly as he pulled himself off the couch. "I'll just..go for a few." He said and before she could even speak a word he was gone, and she was left their speechless...and completely alone.

"Fantastic." She muttered as he laid down on the floor, and just shut her eyes.

Praying to whatever power at bay, that things would get less weird, and fast.

But she kind of figured that wasn't going to be the case.
