“Sit down”
Lucifer said looking at serenity with warning.
Serenity rolled her eyes and entered the water. He was sitting shirtless in the water waiting for her to sit in front of him on the rock.
Serenity sighed and sat in front of me as he has threatened her that if she tried to act stubborn, he will punish her. As she knows that his doings will make her loose her senses.
He wrapped his arms around her waist as she sat in front of him and pulled her on his lap. His hold was possessive like she will vanish from his hold.
Serenity sighed in relief as clear and warm fresh water relieved her tired body.
“Let’s see if it’s working”
He washed the medicine from her back.
“Not that good but it’s working… Their blood would have make it better.”
Serenity stayed quite and he sighed.
“Please talk to me, Love… Please”
He rested his chin on her shoulder.
“It’s poking me”
She complained her body has grown weak and she can’t handle his strong body around him.
“Sorry”
He lifted his chin up and saw red mark on her skin where he had placed his chin.
His heart broke into pieces. He closed his eyes and let the tear escape.
‘Vincent, Nicolai please come fast… I can’t take this.’
He mind linked his brothers.
He hugged serenity tightly.
“Lucifer you are hurting me”
She winced as she couldn’t take his strong hold.
“I am sorry..”
He loosened his hold on her but didn’t let her go.
“I am sorry… Please forgive me”
He mumbled while kissing her wounded back with every apology.
They both know for what he is apologizing.
“Let me go, Lucifer…”
She mumbled with teary eyes.
“Never…”
He said stubbornly.
“Ask for my life, I’ll happily give it to you but not this… You are not going anywhere”
She closed her eyes letting her tears slide. He turned her around and rested his forehead on hers.
“I refuse to let you go… These mesmerizing eyes, red cheeks, long hair which has trapped my head, this melodious voice belongs to us and we refuse to let you go… I have had enough, enough of this seperation…”
He tried not to break down in front of her.
Her heart wreaked when she saw tears in his eyes. They never looked so vulnerable before.
“Lucifer”
She mumbled.
“Don’t stop, say my name… I want to hear it for eternity”
He pleaded.
He leaned forward and placed gentle kiss on her lips. Scared that it will hurt her too. He pulled her closer and placed her head on his chest.
With no time she fell into deep slumber. He kissed her forehead and picked her up.
He carried her outside the water and saw his brothers standing in front of him. They frowned when they saw him crying. Fear rose in their hearts, last they saw Lucifer crying like this when they were locked in basement. He looked broken.
They followed him as he placed her down on the bed which now has comfortable mattress. Vincent quickly took off his jacket and covered her naked body, his scent was on it which didn’t let her sleep ruin.
Nicolai grabbed Lucifer’s hand and dragged him out, away from the hut so they won’t wake her up.
“You are scaring me, Lucifer… What happened?”
He questioned. Vincent was scared too.
Lucifer collapsed on the ground on his knees and finally broke down in front of his brothers.
“Lucifer speak up for fuck sake”
Vincent looked at him pleadingly.
“Ser___ serenity”
Lucifer closed his eyes in regret.
“Serenity, what?”
Nicolai yelled.
“She is dying!”
Lucifer declared and they froze in their places.
Their world came crashing down on them with his words.
“What nonsense… Are you fucking out of your mind?”
Vincent growled.
“It’s impossible…”
Nicolai shook his head furiously.
“She immortal… Stronger than any other living thing… No one can kill her and she can’t die… No one!”
He yelled at him.
“You think I am crazy…”
Lucifer yelled back.
“Have you seen her using her powers in last few days?… She is weak, weaker than normal human being… And it’s all our fault…”
“Who told you? Who the fuck told you about this?”
Vincent questioned.

IN THE MORNING
Lucifer came out of the hut after applying medicine on serenity’s wounds. He saw Ellen standing near the river, watching the waterfall.
He walked towards her.
“You shouldn’t be watching forbidden things, Ellen.”
He said and she turned towards him.
“I know, i am sorry… I shouldn’t have peak inside. It was your private moments… I am extremely sorry.”
She apologized.
“Why did you do that?”
He questioned.
Ellen looked nervous.
“Lucifer you know I owe you my life… Today I am alive because of you… And i will always be grateful to you…”
“How is that my answer?”
He asked shaking his head.
“You know, I performed some forbidden spells unknowingly and borrowed powers from nature… My father didn’t like it and tried to punish me, you saved me because you knew that It was mistake… But my father had reason to kill me… I am breaking nature’s law…”
She gulped.
“Still not my answer Ellen… Yes I saved you from your father because you were teenager and we gave you chance to correct your mistakes… That’s what responsible kings do… I don’t think there is any good enough reason for father to his own daughter…”
He said.
“I can see future, Lucifer…”
She declared and his eyes zeroed on her.
“What?”
He frowned.
“Yes, I don’t know how but Nature has blessed me with this power.”
She informed.
“And i also knows that nature doesn’t allow it… We shouldn’t know our future… It was more like a curse to me, i could see everyone’s future around me. Death, life, pain and i couldn’t handle it. That’s why I am living here, away from everything…”
“You saw serenity’s future, didn’t you?”
Lucifer asked alarmed.
Ellen shook her head.
“I couldn’t see her future… I tried but It was like something is stopping me from looking inside her.”
He sighed while rubbing his forehead.
“Your powers might not work on her… She is different.”
“I guessed that… She has multiple auras around her… She is not someone normal, is she?”
Ellen questioned.
“Far away from normal”
He nodded.
“Can you answer few of my questions?”
Ellen asked hesitant.
Lucifer answered her questions, whatever she wanted to know.
“She was human?”
Ellen asked terrified.
“Yes, why?”
Lucifer frowned.
“What the fuck is happening, Ellen…”
“She has stopped feeding emotions, Lucifer or may be she doesn’t want to feel it. She is stopping herself… Her emotions control her powers, she needs centre like all witches does… But she is lost, she can’t find her powers or may be she doesn’t want to…”
She said.
“Come to the point, Ellen.”
Lucifer said madly.
“If she won’t find her centre back, her powers will overpower her as she was born as a human. She is not born with the capability to control her powers, she has learnt it… Eventually her powers will start feeding on her. She will be weak. As her powers will starts feeding on her, she will become human again… If host is not capable then powers will leave her…”
Ellen explained.
“Is she becoming human again?”
Lucifer frowned.
“I don’t think that’s should be the concern at this moment…”
She gulped.
“I have never break the law of nature but i can’t do this to you… You needs to know…”
“What is it?”
He grew impatient.
“You are forgetting Lucifer… Humans means death is Inevitable.”
She declared with heavy heart.
“Watch your tongue, Ellen.”
He growled.
“Serenity is immortal, no one can kill her. Not even nature… You can’t see her future.”
He refused to believe in her words.
“I can’t see her future… But i can see yours”
She said and his eyes snapped towards her.
“She is going to die… I saw it… I am sorry Lucifer…”
“W_When?”
He asked in broken voice. His world was falling apart.
“Soon… May be today, tomorrow… Anytime soon. She doesn’t have much time”
Ellen couldn’t control tears looking at his condition.
