After a long discussion with the duo
I finally arrived home with Michael and had the chance to rethink everything I was told.
I stood on the balcony letting the fact that I'm the new morning star sink in..
But what was new for me was that I'll be playing a huge role in Lucy's life
" You don't need to worry about what you were told " someone said from behind and I turned to find a young man with black wings behind his back
" Edgar, you have been told who I am, Lucy's protector," he said and I was left speechless so I just nodded.
" I was sent here by Lucy to check on Michael as she was worried about him and also Lucifer asked me to warm you never to put his daughter's life at stake again..and if you do you should as we forget about ascending your throne one day "
He said coldly and flew away which I found a bit harsh.
~~LUCY'S POV~~
I woke up and couldn't remember a single thing about what truly happened after I picked up Micheal.
All I could see were blurry images and I felt pain all over my body.
I spotted Edgar sitting at the window while staring at the sky and looked away
My throat felt dry and I sat up to drink water, but immediately I touched the glass everything suddenly came back like a flood
" Michael " I called getting worried about how he was and how to explain anything that happened
Firstly, we were on our way out of the forest when some weird creatures suddenly surrounded us, they tried attacking us but I and Michael ran away
We got lost in the forest and didn't know where to go. Michael, on the other hand, was frightened and kept crying.
One of the creatures tried taking Michael away from me and the next moment I lost control, I just felt like killing every single one of them as I wanted to protect Michael
Someone suddenly came close. He wasn't like those creatures and he seemed familiar but I couldn't trust him.
I also wanted to kill him when suddenly I heard mum's voice and everything became dark
" Edgar "
" I'm on it," he said and flew away
I suddenly began to feel pains at my joint rejoin and it seemed like they moved to my head.
Remembering I'll be going to work tomorrow I just switched off the lights and went back to bed.
…
THE NEXT DAY
Lucy was busy preparing for work while Zack on the other hand was in his office contemplating if to allow Lucy to know that he knows the truth about her or let it be
Meanwhile, Lucifer was on his throne when he suddenly received an unwanted guest
" Seems you've missed me a lot" He said about to take a seat
" Lucas " Lucifer called looking at him straight in the eyes which made him freeze midway in his action.
" You see it's been a while since I woke up from my deep slumber and I decided to pay my little niece a visit before meeting with her father… " He paused and look at Lucifer who didn't say a word
" Well I couldn't help but admire her powers and capabilities..although she wasn't trained she was still able to defeat my men with ease, not bad "He clapped and took a seat.
Lucifer wasn't surprised that those creatures were sent by his brother
He kept staring at Lucas who was beginning to get infuriated by Lucifer's silence and nonchalant attitude
" I must say you are such a father, although your child's life is on the line you are still here with an expressionless face..
I must comment the devil is truly the devil he only loves and cares about himself " he scoffed
Lucifer stood up and went straight to the bar to get a drink for himself and also handed one glass to Lucas
" Hmm it took you such a long time to realize that I only love myself and my throne dear brother " He scoffed
" I see, so you don't care if I kill your daughter ? "
" Why would I? You see everyone has their destiny and you can only get a sword when the blacksmith has cooled it down not when it's still hot " Lucifer said with a mischievous smile
" You're right, so I shouldn't be wasting my time here " he drank up his drink and left..
To almost everyone in hell, Lucifer is heartless and only cares about himself but what they didn't know is that he keeps those he loves away from him and protects them from the shadows.
Lucas left not reading a single meaning to what Lucifer meant when he said having the sword only when the blacksmith cooled it down..
Zack, who was still lost in thought, didn't realize when Lucifer entered his office.
He only recognized Lucifer's presence when he cleared his throat..
" I wonder how you'll save my daughter when you don't use your instincts and you're always lost in thought " He said eyeing Zack
" Lucifer..How? ... "
" Tsk tsk tsk, just listen I only have ten minutes as Lucy would be here very soon "
" Ohkay "
" I want you to take Lucy away from here for the next one month and within that time you would have to help her master her powers and fighting skills.. "
" Me? But I can't even... "
" Just shut up and let me speak I wonder why your father had to get married to a talkative human..now see the effects it has on you "
" Excuse me? "
" For the next three days you would be trained by Lucian as you've already mastered your powers, you just need some guidance and instructions…
Then immediately after your training is over you both would have to leave to where no one can find you "
" But.." He tried speaking up but Lucifer was nowhere to be found.
He was speechless
He ducked his head on his table trying to reason what Lucifer said
" Good morning sir " Lucy greeted immediately as she stepped her foot into his office.
" Actually.. Sir I'm sorry for .... "
" Mrs. Lucy daughter of Alicia niece to Lucian the business tycoon. Am I wrong? "
Zack said coldly not wanting to beat around the bush knowing that he had little time to tutor Lucy
" S..sir I can explain what happened, you see I..... "
" Hold your explanations you're here by... "
" Sir please don't sack me please "
Lucy went on her kneels pleading while she folded her hands
" Hey what are you doing stand up I wasn't going to sack you, I just wanted to give you three days off from work so you could prepare, as we would be going…we would be going on a one-month business trip " He said confusion written all over his face
" One month? " Lucy looked up confused
" Y..yes, so if you don't mind you can be on your way " he pointed toward the exit
. . .
" Wait so you mean Mum believed dad ? " Carlene said with wild eyes about to laugh out her intenstine
" Not really..she actually caught your Dad in his lies and he had to tell more lies to cover up " Her grammy said with a sigh
" Tell so much lies isn't good he should have just gone ahead and tell her the truth " Carlene sighed
" He actually did..and in no time they both fell in love.
Ah you wouldn't imagine what happened after they fell in love "
" What did they annoy you the way they are doing now? " She asked scrunching her face and pretending to throw up
" No they got separate.. "
" Wait what? Did dad cheat? Or Mum? Oh my goodness they never told us that they got separated " Carlene ranted with wild eyes
" What happened to them Grammy? Tell me the suspense is killing me " Carlene whined
" Actually, Alexander happened "
" Alexander? Who is Alexander? "
" Your uncle , Zacks twin brother
The defender of men who was corrupted by his greed for the throne.. "
" Hold on, you mean Dad had a twin brother?
That means it was a love triangle between Dad, mum and Uncle..wow
But where is Uncle now?
And how many secrets are those two keeping from use, we're their kids after all " Carlene said taking a deep breath earning a chuckle from her Grammy
" Well if I told you that you weren't your parents first child how would you feel ? "
" What the fuck so they both had a child before us? Where is the child grammy? Spill it out " She said at the verge of crying
" Well the baby didn't get the chance to come into the world after both your parents got involved in the accident planned by your uncle.. "
" Ahh this isn't an ordinary love triangle..
Grammy go on tell me everything that happened in details please " She said with puppy eyes
" Alright..
So listen up..Both your parents got married secretly and after a day of their marriage their life turned inside out.. " She paused and took a deep breath
" But they finally came back together but.. "
" But what ? "
" Alexander showed up.
They found out Tessy was a hemispherectomy patient and Alexander wasn't going to let her get threat unless Lucy came with him "
" Wow he's surely a bad person.. So did Mum really go with him? " Carlene asked wanting to know more about her parents love story as the suspense was killing her
" She had no choice "
