“Lucifer.” His head raises as he looks at Dom. “All four are in the room waiting.” Nodding, he walks through, the men looking towards him. “You can leave. You were worried I would shoot the messenger. I don’t blame you.” Lucifer watches as they stand and nod. Stepping forward, he shakes his head. “Not you two, they can go, but not you two.” He watches as they leave, the remainder two looking at him confused.“Sorry. Just like them, we didn’t want to be the ones to pass on the message. We would not only be telling you about Belial but also that those two knew and hid. It was a double target on our heads.”

Anais smiles as Lucifer walks towards her. “You made a mess, Kitten.” His head shakes. “Nothing compared to the mess you make, Master. I needed my energy for us playing.” She has been waiting all day, and one way to pass the boredom is to eat. “I guess you are right there, Kitten. You saw just the sort of mess I left after my crazed days of feeding. Are you ready to play?” “I was ready this morning when you said I had to wait because you had plans. What were they anyway?” He never said. “Nothing to bother yourself with, Kitten. Get in that room and strip.” He smiles at her, watching as she walks through. Walking out, he stops. “I’ll be gone soon, don’t worry. She will have no idea I was even here.” Belial walks through. Lucifer nods and goes back to the room with Anais, his eyes falling on her as she is kneeling there naked, waiting. Walking around, he collects some items. He was wrong when it came to this. Anais had as

Six months have passed, and Belial has only visited a couple of times, yet he seems to keep his distance. Anais looks at him, wondering if he really fears loving her just as Lucifer had. He is only here now because Lucifer felt she was safer with Balial watching over her. "So is this how it will go Belial?" Anais questions. "How what will go?" He turns and looks at her for a second before averting his eyes again. "The next twenty-four hours. You sat silent avoiding looking at me. If it is that painful to be around me Belial get someone else to babysit me for Lucifer." He whips his head around clearly shocked by my words. "I'm not a weak mortal anymore, Lucifer needs to remember that!" I don't get why he is so afraid of letting me be alone. "How can he forget? He wants you safe, he loves you. So just let him do it." "Does he though?" She can't help but wonder if he does. "That is your stupid human side coming free, put it away and keep it locked up until I leave please" Belial

Belial:I watch as Lucifer comes towards me, my eyes widen and I laugh."Now brother don't go scaring the children." I watch as he doesn't even react, just walks past me, turning I look at the direction he came from, walking towards their room I walk in."Anais." I laugh slightly. "What game did you try to play this time?" I step into the room and see her on the floor, my eyes widen and I rush to her. She is almost dead, the blood covers her body, her neck has a large hole and her arm is somehow behind her.Lifting her I move her to the bed, trying my best to heal her, but I never heal. "What did he do?" I stare at her. "Sorry, but this will hurt." I don't know if she can hear me, she seems so out of it. I grasp her arm, pulling hearing it break again as I quickly place it back in the correct position. She screams, trying to move as I hold her down."Lucifer?" She looks at me, then confusion sweeps across her face."Belial, Anais, I am Belial. What happened? He almost killed you."

Belial:Somehow I fear her, but I fear her walking away after I let her in more. If lucifer tells me to leave her, I won't, but will she? Will she choose Lucifer over me if he forces her to choose?My head lowers, my lips almost against hers as I feel something sharp in my beck.Roaring, I feel myself shift, turning I face Ethan, his hand holding a knife. I don't even think, I just move, and grab him. My hands getting tighter every second until he moves no more. I throw his body, feeling the anger rippling through me, he stabbed me!Turning, I stop, Anais looking up at me, her eyes wide. She steps back, the wall in her way. My hand wraps around her neck, pulling her to me."Belial, please don't." I see tears in her eyes. Lifting her, my body pins hers agaisnt the wall, her legs around my waist."Belial, change back, please." I see the fear in her eyes, but I can't. Somehow all the anger turned to lust with one look at her. I pull, ripping the dress from her body, a groan escaping my
