Chapter 76: Shattered Mask

[3rd POV]

After another hour of teaching the girls, the class had officially come an end, and as the girls began to filter out of the room, Lucifer spoke "Beatrix, stay behind for me"

Hearing this, the girl turned to Lucifer in confusion before stopping, at the same time, Alice gave Lucifer an air kiss when no one was looking, before walking off. This left Lucifer, Rose, and Beatrix in the room all alone. Beatrix shuffled slightly, inwardly wondering what this was all about.

"Love, why don't you go to lunch with the others? I need to talk to Beatrix, alone" Lucifer said, Rose nodded at her mama's ask, knowing that it was probably important. Seeing that all the others were out of the room, Beatrix was growing more suspicious of what Lucifer wanted, and more nervous as well.

"Do you know why you're here, Beatrix?" Lucifer asked the teen, wanting to see if she could come to the proper conclusion about why she was still there with Lucifer. The teen was intelligent and was a talented girl, roughly on par with Stella and Bloom, putting her in the top three of the class.

"Is it because I've been doing excellently in class? Or is it something...else?" Beatrix asked with a small smirk, which Lucifer blinked at several times, before cringing. This was a teenager seemingly trying (and failing miserably) at seducing her, a being that was essentially old enough to be her ancestor, and a married woman at that.

"No, bloody hell no. I'm much older than you are Beatrix, and married, so do not make such an assumption ever again. No, this is about what you did the other night" Lucifer said, disgusted at the mere thought of such a thing. She saw Beatrix as a child now, just like all the others. All because she was a God now, one that was far older than them, and not even remotely interested.

"What I did the other night? I was in bed the whole night" Beatrix replied, ignoring the quick and ruthless rejection, which she was a little hurt about, as Lucifer was hot, any lesbian or bisexual girl would agree.

"You let out the burned one, Beatrix" Lucifer said with a fierce look in her eyes, cutting Beatrix off from even attempting to lie to her. There were few things that annoyed her now a days, but lying to her face like that was one of them.

"I don-" "You are here because your adoptive father wants to break out Rosalind, and you are helping him. I thousands of years old, Beatrix, do not try to lie to me, and do not even attempt to manipulate me again" Lucifer cut the girl off with a powerful glare, one that caused the teen to step beck, sweat beginning to form on her back as she realized the situation she was in.

"I am not going to harm you, little one. Instead, I am asking why you are doing it" Lucifer asked, as she calmed herself down slightly, remembering that this was but a teenage girl who was doing what her father had told her to do, and something that she was manipulated into doing.

"I-I" The girl stuttered, her mask of a powerful and teasing teen cracking as she paled. Realizing that Lucifer knew everything, and realizing that this woman could slaughter her in a moment, and she wouldn't even be able to fight back in the least.

"I can only guess it is because you wish to prove yourself to your father, correct? If you must do something like killing others to prove yourself to the man that raised you, then I believe you need to rethink what sort of man your father is, and if he was truly a good father" Lucifer spoke, watching as the girl began to break down.

"M-My father is a good man!" Beatrix exclaimed, trying to fight off the fear and uncertainty that was beginning to take hold. Lucifer sighed at the girls response, knowing that that was not the case, she could literally feel the bond between the two, and how little the man known as "Andreas" actually cared for her. She could also feel the familial bond between the girl and Bloom, albeit neither knew of it.

'Perhaps telling her and Bloom of their relations would be for the best. But...not right now, for now she needs to understand that Andreas was, and is not a good man, and Rosalind is not a good woman' Lucifer thought, having already planned on telling Bloom of her relation to Dowling and her true self which was her mother. Beatrix being sisters to Bloom was a bit of a surprise, but she also understood that she died in her original life before reading the graphic novel that was set to release following the events of season 2, meaning some of these things were likely talked about there.

"He isn't Beatrix, and I believe deep down you know this as well. Just like how you know that something about Rosalind isn't right, and the idea of freeing her isn't sitting well with you. You didn't even want to release the Burned One yesterday, did you?" Lucifer asked, as Beatrix sat down trying to calm down as Lucifer moved closer and crouched next to the girl, a calming aura beginning to fill the surroundings.

"I-" "You can tell me how you actually feel, you know. I won't be telling Dowling or anyone about this, and I will personally take care of Rosalind and what she entails" Lucifer softly said to the girl who was practically crying now.

"I-I don't want to do any of this!" Beatrix exclaimed, as her "Strong Girl" mask finally shattered completely, showing the scared, and terrified young teen that was underneath, a teen that was doing what she was told, and a teen that wanted nothing more than to receive the love of her father, and maybe even make some friends.

"I know, little one" Lucifer softly said as she brought Beatrix into a warm hug, her familial aura pouring out of her in waves as the teen cried in her embrace, cried because of the things she has been forced to do, cried because of the life she has been forced to live, and cried for the realization that her father most likely didn't truly love her, all shown to her from a being that wouldn't lie, and could sense such things.

"Let it all out child, let it all out" Lucifer whispered to the crying teen, as she held her close, all the while, she had one thought on her mind.

'...Did I just get another daughter?'

That's the end of the chapter!

Not sure if I should make Beatrix Lucifer's next daughter alongside Bloom, but I kinda thought the idea could be neat. Dowling isn't exactly the best of mothers, considering she didn't tell either of them about their relation. It's either that, or Lucifer becomes an Aunt figure to her, not sure which one, tell me what y'all think!

Lucifer will have a lot of children either way, most of them being adopted (by blood of course). I'm estimating there will be anywhere from 5-6 of them, and I'll try my best to give them all the love they deserve, just like with Rose.

Anyways, have a good day!
