Chapter 38 - Oh no.

"You think she's dead?" I heard B say before I finally opened my eyes. Looking around, Lilith was dotting my head with a cool rag while Lucifer, Michael, B, and Horde were all huddled against the bookshelf. I leaned up resting back on my hands and shot daggers at all of them but mainly Lucifer. "Everyone out." I sternly said. They started making their way towards the door when I continued, "except you Lucifer. You stay.". "Ohhh he's in trouble." B called out playfully when I shot daggers at him. "Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood." he said exiting the bedroom. After Lilith closed the door behind all of them, I continued. "What in the absolute hell are you thinking?" I asked him. Lucifer only looked at the floor which made me even more upset. "First you don't want my mark and now you try to pair me off with another person? Do you hate me that much?!" I asked him. He sat down at the desk and dropped his head in his hands. "I thought angels weren't set up like that or was that a lie too?" I yelled at him. With no reply from him, I got up from the bed and screamed at him, "Answer me!". I felt my marks come forward dotting my face and swallowing my neck. Lucifer looked up at me with sadness in his eyes. "Calm down and I'll explain everything." he said. "You have ten minutes to explain and it better be good or I am leaving." I blurted out. Lucifer pulled a chair out at the desk and patted the seat motioning me to sit down. I flopped down in the seat openly showing my annoyance with him. "Mia, you have learned about all our demons, correct?" he asked. I nodded annoyingly. He touched his chin and looked confused for a moment. "Mia, there are other Gods out there besides Yeshua. There are other Gods that rival Yeshua and we aren't a match for them.". I leaned forward becoming intrigued, "So I thought that angels and demons acquired names over the years that it was all intertwined." I stated. "It is but it isn't." Lucifer responded. I looked at the ceiling stating again, "Lamia said that angels couldn't do that Lucifer so if you think for one second, I'm going to accept this, I'm not.". "Bonnie, Michael is a first creation, only technically an angel too." Lucifer responded. I popped my head up looking at him saying, "I hate that name.". "We've changed his name to Leo." he curtly responded while I rolled my eyes at him and scoffed. "So why'd he throw you through a wall then?" I asked. A smile played across Lucifer's face and his eyes flashed to that bright red, "I may have made it a little to clear that you were mine first." he flirtatiously said. "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked him. "Mia, he is drawn to you like I was drawn to you. It is a rather strong feeling to be with you and only you." he replied, motioning between my legs. My eyes went wide, "You did not." I said, "Oh I did. He knows exactly what we do with our private time. Why do you think he got to the gate so quickly Mia? My little comment at the gate popped him off that barmy." Lucifer slyly said. "You ass." I said leaning back in my chair. Lucifer leaned forward, taking my hands softly within his. "Mia, I love you and only you. I am sorry I upset you with my mark but even with Eve, I had never consummated.". I sat in shock for a second before asking, "Are you saying you, the God of Hell, are a virgin?!" I quickly asked. He looked up at me through his lashes, "Eros is the whore, not me.". I popped up out of my chair and set my chin on my fist motioning around the room and speaking quickly, "You're lying. There's no way with how old you are.". He sat quietly, "It wasn't the first thing on my mind everyday Mia. Now it is, but not before. Didn't really have a need to procreate." he said slowly. I plopped on the bed before a light knock on the door interrupted our conversation. "Come in" Lucifer called. B stuck his head in saying "Okay just making sure. You're not dead so we're good. You good Mia?" he asked. I nodded at him. "Ok I'm gone. Don't kill the other one either Mia." he rang out before he shut the door softly. "Mia, he's going to be the same way." Lucifer stated. "Who?" I asked, already being distracted away from the conversation. "Leo Mia. You're going to have to confirm it somehow." he replied through gritted teeth. "So you want me to do this but you're not happy about it?" I asked him, scrunching my eyebrows together. Lucifer looked at the ground before looking up at me, "Mia I hate this but it makes sense. You are a product of Heaven and Hell. Do you not think that there would be fail safes put in place to keep you safe?" Before I could answer Lucifer stood up and continued, "It only makes sense that you would have first creations i.e. the most powerful creatures second to you and Yeshua as partners. Do I want to share? Not at all. Will I share to ensure you're safe? Yes repeatedly I would. I'm not so daft as to think that I can take on other Gods. Did I used to? Yes and we see how humbled I became.". "Lucifer, I really don't like this." I groaned. "Mia, spend time with him. I'll give you two the full range of Hell. I actually have to bop out for a bit." he said. "And where are you going?" I asked him. "It's a bit of a surprise Bonnie." he said with a smile playing off of him. "I have a surprise for you." I said. "Oh really and what is that?" he asked. "Close your eyes and relax." I said and he complied. I walked over to him and set his head on my chest. "Now think of your happiest or calmest memory." I said and he nodded to reply. After a few minutes, his mark began to return to normal skin. "Bonnie, is that tingling normal?" he asked. "Yep, just keep being calm." I replied. After it had retracted I told him to get up and go to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and as soon as he saw it gone, Lucifer let out an excited "Yes!". I laughed because before he could finish it, the mark was back. "Bullocks." he said. "Just keep practicing. You'll get better at it." I said giggling. He made his day towards the door and gave me a peck on the cheek as he passed me. "I'll be back soon Bonnie. Keep Leo entertained but not too entertained or I'll probably have to kill him when I get back." Lucifer rambled out. I giggled and kissed him as he went out the door. After he was gone, I flopped on the bed and drifted into peaceful sleep.
