“Any particular reason you just threw the Devil across the room in front of everyone? Or are you just suicidal? He’ll know that was you,” he points out. I look back just as Lucifer predictably starts making his way over here. “You know that acid power I have that eats people from the inside out?” I ask them.
“My feelings were only getting hurt in the beginning. When it was all of you against me. Ezekiel is my special boy because he was the first to gift me with hope. Kai is like a willful drug, because I truly enjoy the attention he pays me, even when he’s so surly he couldn’t possibly have a gentle bone in his body. Gage is my current favorite because I know without a doubt he finally sees me as what I am.” He turns to me, his brow furrowing. “And what is that?” “All of yours,” I state as though it should be obvious.
“Comoara trădătoare, is what she says—” His words are cut off, when Gage is suddenly in the room and throwing him up against the wall with his hand clutching Harold’s throat. Harold’s eyes widen in horror, as the phone slips from his hand and he struggles to pull Gage’s hand away. “Where’d you hear that phrase?” he growls, putting his face right in front of Harold. “From the treacherous treasure herself, of course,” I drawl, wiggling my fingers at him.
Determined, I strut right up to him anyway, and throw my arms around him. “Either hug me back, or I swear I’ll never let you sleep peacefully again,” I threaten when he remains still in my grip.
“The more things change, the more they stay the same. The air in here just got considerably warmer. You four were always pissed or serious when you used her nickname. And she always loved it when you did. She loved angry sex,” Lamar says, smirking. “I’m really curious about seeing if that’s a real thing,” I tell Kai, gesturing toward the door like it’s an invitation.
“I died a month ago,” I say to him. “I just got back today and found out I’m the Devil’s daughter, the end of the world, and apparently died five hundred years ago from a mysterious cause that is no doubt linked to hell. I think I’m going home to process for a while. It’s sort of been a shitastic month.”
Jude snorts derisively, and I start to get my feelings hurt, until he says, “They can’t even compare.” A goofy girl grin spreads as I tell him, “Now you’re my favorite even though that was so fucking cheesy.” “Enjoy while it lasts,” Kai says to Jude, smirking as he draws my attention back to him.
