Alrighty heres a short chapter. Sorry for the delay, I meant to post this awhile ago. I really just realized I needed to figure out a plan to this story and the direction I was going in. Anyways, thank you all for the generous reviews, favorites and follows! They make my day!

Chloe immediately regretted not bringing a flashlight. The church was dark, each window boarded up letting in little streams of light. Not to mention the once polished floors were now littered with garbage and covered in a thick coat of dust.

She stepped carefully waiting for her eyes to adjust to the dark gasping as she came upon blotch of a dark substance in front of her. Crouching down she dabbed at the stain bringing it closer until she caught its metallic scent, definitely blood.

"Lucifer?" she whispered following the line of blood. She quickened her pace until she came upon the main room. The pews were all tipped over, the sheets once covering them thrown to the ground.

It was then her eyes came to the pedestal at the front. A body propped against the side.

Coming to a run she dropped the blazer, climbing over debris before calling his name, "Lucifer!"

Crouching next to the man she first noticed his state. His usual white shirt now red was open revealing long slashes across his chest bleeding down into a small puddle around him. Dark bruises covered his body and face, his hair matted with sweat. Or water, his clothes looked to be soaked through with more than blood. Chloe felt her stomach lurch fighting to remain calm and rational despite her heart trying to beat out of her chest.

"Crap", Chloe cursed before checking his pulse. Sighing in relief as she felt a response. She then grasped his abused arm, he was unbelievably cold.

"Lucifer!" she called to him removing her hand from his arm to hold his face with her hands, "You need to wake up!", there was no response.

Chloe felt tears prick at her eyes realizing she left her phone in the car and couldn't even call for help, "Goddammit Lucifer! Open you eyes!"

And on cue Lucifer groaned, eyes fluttering awake, "Detective?" he choked coughing up a bout of blood.

"How did you find me?" he groaned his hands shaking as he fought to sit up.

"Shh, save your energy. We have to get you to a hospital. Do you think you can walk?" Chloe said sternly.

Lucifer's eyes went wide, "Perhaps but I cannot leave here", he said as he looked frantically around the church, whispering, "It's not safe."

Chloe held her breath going to pull him up, "We are leaving! You need help", she insisted.

But despite her force he didn't budge; exhaustion taking over again Lucifer slumped down further.

Chloe sat next to him, "You will die if you don't get out of here", she protested.

Lucifer gave a small smile, "Darling, I thank you for your concern but I will be just fine. I just need some time to heal up. I admit it's taking longer than I presumed. My dear brothers really got me good."

The detective looked over the cuts, they were very deep, "Your brothers? Lucifer, what happened to you?" Chloe questioned. She didn't know Lucifer had any family, besides that brother she met briefly.

"Its not safe to speak their names here. You see they are looking for me, I was able to get away", he groaned now allowing Chloe to help him upright, "I hid in the last place they would look. I mean, who would look for the devil in a church? My fathers household!"

Chloe ignored Lucifer's remark, she didn't have time to go through his 'I'm the devil' nonsense right now. Instead she questioned him further, trying to keep him awake.

"How long have you been here?"

Lucifer shrugged, "A day? Maybe two. Can't really recall and unfortunately I couldn't find the strength to move any further."

"Why didn't you get help?", Chloe pressed trying to keep the man awake while she looked over his wounds.
"Phone broke on impact. This is just near where I landed, trying to get away."

Lucifer noted Chloe's confused expression, "You see my brothers were to fly me to the gates of hell. Knowing their intentions I tried to pull away…

He trailed off shakily pulling his sleeves up to show his abused arms. Chloe gasped wondering what had actually occurred.

Chloe needed to know they weren't in danger,"Lucifer…"

"I would never lie to you", Lucifer interrupted, "It's been rather difficult for you to come to grips with my … identity, so to speak. I wish I could prove it to you."

Chloe shook her head remembering the last time he insisting on proving that he was the devil, "No more shooting my gun at you, no more about the devil. First I need to see how bad you are hurt, and then we are going to my car and directly to the hospital. There is no debate here."

Lucifer looked confused but Chloe just started on the plan. She needed to get moving, she didn't know how much blood he had lost, how much time he had left.

"Lift your arms, we need that shirt off", Chloe instructed.

"Eager to get my clothes off are you?" Lucifer smiled complying with her request, before groaning in pain at the movement.

"This is no time for that Lucifer…" Chloe trailed off focusing on getting his arm out of the sleeve.

"No time like the present darling", he said softly.

Chloe had just gotten his shirt off when Lucifer's eyes went wide.

"What's wrong?" the detective asked quickly looking around, "Lucifer!"

"Shh, be quite", he whispered pulling her down, "I was wrong, they are close. It would be better to move. I believe I have enough vigor to get us away from here."

"Good, I think I can bring the car in front", Chloe said going to stand.

"No!" Lucifer demanded with such fear in his voice Chloe had to stop, "They will do anything to get me. They will take you."

Chloe never heard Lucifer so alarmed, she could see him visibly shake. But as soon as it began it ended.

"Help me up", he said sternly. Chloe nodded grasping his arm until they were upright. He wavered for a moment, leaning heavily on the detective.

"Now, hold onto me tight. I haven't tried this before", Lucifer said unsure.

"What are you doing?" Chloe asked confused but nevertheless held on to Lucifer, feeling his blood slicken her coat.

"I am giving you a reason to believe", he sighed looking at her deeply.

Chloe didn't even have a moment to process and ask what he meant before her world turned upside-down. Like an anchor to a tornado she held on for dear life looking up to briefly see a red faced figure before it all stopped.

...

Chloe opened her eyes, not remembering when she closed them and then almost fainted. She was in her home. And Lucifer was next to her. He looked weary and shaken, holding onto Chloe just as tightly as she was holding onto him, but was very much still alive.

"Fantastic, didn't think it would work", Lucifer breathed before his legs gave out.

The detective fell to her knees as Lucifer went down shaking in her arms as she laid him to the ground. Chloe knew she had to get help, she had to do something but her mind had stopped working.

She couldn't rationalize what had happened. They were in the church and now they were in her home. It couldn't be real.

"Lucifer what did you do?" she asked but he was already unconscious, "What…"

Chloe pinched herself expecting to wake up but it didn't happen. She was in her home, Lucifer was still bleeding out in front of her and that's all she knew at the moment.

The devil was dying in front of her.

I really am trying to stay in character, but having some trouble. Any suggestions would be amazing! Also once again, if you see any grammatical errors or spelling errors, feel free to point them out and I will try to go back and fix them. Thanks!

I will try to post the next chapter soon.

Also I don't know the limitation to Lucifers power and it has been hinted in the show that he can appear and disappear to his own will. I thought some sort of teleportation would not be too far off. Though limited to short distances.

Tell me what you think.
