Chapter Two:He Saw his Own...Heaven.

A hundred years ago.

[Earth Realm]

~~~

He was there.

The cursed prince, Lucifer, had been there all along watching. 

He saw the woman cry, begging for the life of her baby to be spared and even his brother Uriel, couldn't do anything. 

He was simply helpless. 

"It's such a pity that she's going to die," Azriel appeared out of the blue, standing beside his father, Lucifer, and watching what was happening from afar.

"What are you doing out here?" Lucifer asked without looking at the person he was speaking to. As he thought, his son, Damon was by his side with his signature stoic face. 

Azriel and Damon were twins; identical to be exact and the last son out of his three sons standing before him. 

Lucifer, of course, has had his fair share of women, both human and supernatural creatures who bore him sons, but out of all five of his children, his most loved was Damon.

He was his replica, not just in appearance alone, but in behavior. Damon was cold and cruel unlike his kind-hearted twin, Azriel. His son Damon has always been different from the others. No, the circumstance surrounding his birth was mysterious considering the seer even noticed him.

The seer talked about a prophecy, but Lucifer took it as bullshit considering the heavens never appreciated him even before he was cast down. So why would they involve his son in some cock and bull story, about him being the wager between the two worlds and he would bring peace to both realms?

Damon was the last prince of hell, but he had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, since he was the most competent among his brothers, and that made Lucifer to even favor him the most. Hence, the thought of his father in heaven having plans for his son didn't sit right with Lucifer. But one thing was for sure though, it must be related to that woman, Ophelia. 

"Of course, we were tailing you father. Wow…" Azriel looked up at the sky, "Wow, it's such a lovely day," He focused on his father and asked him, "Aren't you going to do something father? You seem to be oddly interested in the woman?"

"I'm not her fairy godfather," 

Lucifer glared at his son, the boy was annoying him lately. Ever since he caught him stalking Ophelia, Azriel would not let him hear the end of it. His son thought he had feelings for the woman, after all, he was quite a player. 

[That's all? Do you not like her?] 

Damon, of course, the most reasonable one asked his father Lucifer through the mind link, just to keep his annoying brother from butting into their conversation. 

[ No, I don't!] 

Unlike Azriel, Damon believed his father, however, it was weird for his father to be interested in this woman without an agenda. There was no way, he was just out to watch her die in the hands of Micheal and the others. 

Azriel asked him, "But father, how is it possible that her child carries such fate? No human has been able to… " 

"That is more reason why your grandfather wants her dead, don't you realize that?" Damon cut his brother off. 

He said, "The child is a threat and I can see why she is cursed with such fate." 

"That child would die nonetheless whether she is a Nephilim or human or something more, " Lucifer said, his eyes turning red when he noticed the change in the atmosphere. 

Michael has arrived with his soldiers. 

"But this doesn't make any sense," Azriel watched as Michael's powers oppressed Uriel, and had him stuck to the ground. 

And it was just getting started.

"Now you both are witnesses to see how unfair your grandfather can be, so I hope you do not fall short of his grace," Lucifer advised.

"So are you still going to let her die?'' Azriel wanted Lucifer to save the woman, and figure out the feud between Uriel and his father. 

"This might as well be a trap, "Damon figured out, and his father pointed at Azriel, 

"You still have a lot to learn from your brother, Lord of time,'' Lucifer mocked his son as if he cared less about what his father did with the woman.

"So grandfather is taking the life of an  innocent woman and her child, and yet all you care about is watching her die because you failed to meet her first before Uriel?"

That damned son of his! Lucifer would have given him a piece of his mind, but Azriel vanished before his father could lay a hand on him. 

"Why do you want her alive, father?" Damon asked, watching as Micheal was ready to end the woman. He knew his father well and there had to be something interesting about her. 

"And what about you? Don't you want to save her as well?" Lucifer smirked.

"Why should i do that? I don't have any business with a human, father and you know that too, "Damon said. 

He loathed humans. They were weak and unfortunately, the world was full of them. 

"Son, I need the child alive at all cost," He turned to face  Damon, who still didn't understand what he wanted with that woman's child.

Nonetheless, he helped his father without question. 

"This is the last time I'm helping you out with humans. '' Damon grunted in annoyance and disappeared, but not without hearing his father whisper.

"If only you knew, "

Damon knew his father was keeping something from him, but this wasn't the time or place. He had a pathetic human to save. 

He pushed the thoughts aside, and with a flicker of his hands, he stopped the attack his uncle wanted to rain down on her, and pushed him away from where they stood. 

And that was when he saw his uncle summoning his lightning bolts,and he intercepted the strike with a push of his power. 

Micheal glanced up at the interruption, he roared, "What do you think you are doing you fool?!"

"I can't let you kill her, '' He came to stand defensively in front of Ophelia, who was losing strength. But that was until her first contraction hit her and she cried out. 

It has begun. 

The child was about to be born. 

"Did Lucifer set you up for this? I should have known that a manwhore like him had something going on with her, but i must warn you to stay away or i won't hesitate to kill you too," Micheal knew there was no more time to waste. The child was coming and he had to stop it. This was his chance. 

"You know i can't, uncle," He smirked devilishly, and that was all it took for Micheal to strike him with his powers but a force field covered Damon and the woman in labor. 

"Save her please!'' Uriel begged Damon. Although he had no idea what sort of plan Lucifer had in store for Ophelia,  it was better than her dying in the hands of Micheal.

All it took was for Damon to raise his hand, and there was an explosion in the sky and his own army from hell rose to fight Michael's armies. There was chaos everywhere, and the distraction was what Damon needed because he vanished with Ophelia. 

"No…." Micheal roared in anger, tearing away every enemy that lunged at him in anger. He just failed his father! He failed God.  And that was when he saw Uriel trying to recover and his eyes flashed red. This was all his fault! If only he had not committed such an abomination. 

With a great roar, he smacked into Uriel, the both of them rolling to the ground with him coming on top before he placed his hand on Uriel's chest, siphoning his life force. 

"Brother….'' was the last word Uriel said before his form vanished and his spirit drifted away. 

"See you on the last day, brother. " Was all Micheal said and went after Damon. But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find him. 

Unknown to him, Damon and the woman settled in an inn devoid of human presence. 

"My..baby, "Ophelia cried, holding onto Damon who had no clue how to deliver a baby. And where was his father? 

Damon found out that this was a test from his father, and wanted to leave but when another contraction hit the woman, he knew that he couldn't leave her. 

Damon used his power to see right through her, to realize that the baby's head was out , but it wasn't crying.

Was it dead?

He looked back at Ophelia,she looked different..she was dying, and even in her death, all she wanted was to save her child.

This goddamn child that is causing chaos everywhere!

Ophelia groaned in pain, using the last of her strength, and pushed her child. It came out right in front of Damon who stumbled back in shock.

He hasn't seen something like this before,but what stood out completely about the child was something else.

The mark.

The red mark was right in the center of her palm, just like he had those when he was born.

"My baby" Ophelia cried, smiling at her child with hooded eyes, before turning to face Damon." please.. save my child. Let Seraphina live."

The sudden strike of thunder,and the change in weather which was red,just like the center of her child's palm, started shining brightly.

Damon took the baby away from the child,when he saw the light die in her mother's eyes,she sat there dead leaving him with a baby that had his interest.

Why?

Because she's like him.

She's different,but not entirely different from him.She has the same mark so that makes them even, although he couldn't feel any energy source coming from her,just like they had said she was dangerous.

But they made a mistake, she's just …human.

"Damon!"

He heard Micheal call his name,and felt him getting closer to where they are.The mark on the child's palm was still there,left with no other option,he knew he had to save her.

"I know you are somewhere in there Damon,I will spare you if you hand over the woman,and the baby..nephew"

Micheal chuckled at his last statement,which made Damon see red at the entitlement he just used.Since when did he consider him his nephew?

How did he know that Ophelia has put to birth?

Was it the red sky?

Damon looked at the child,and felt her breathing getting abnormal.He touched her chest,she is.. dying.

Maybe that was the reason she didn't shed not even a single tear as normal babies do?

He could end all these by giving Michael what he wants,but the mark?

He was really curious to know why a mere human was carrying the same mark as him,which left him with no choice than to bit his finger open,before pushing it to the child's mouth for his blood to be let into her system.

He wanted to save her.

But it didn't help at all,if anything she started looking pale. How could he be so stupid to give her his cursed blood?

Humans can't consume his blood,he has other plans which sounded stupid but he had to go for it.So he performed a rite that divided his life force into two,before putting the other half inside her.Just to keep her alive.

"I will come back for this, little one"He muttered, watching his energy settle deeply within her.

An action he knew that he would end up regretting later,but the sudden giggle that left the baby's lips,and her eyes shot open which settled on his green eyes made his heart skip for a bit.

The devil never had a heart,but for her it skipped!

He realized what he had done,but it was too late to reverse his actions.Not that he wanted to anyway.

In her brown eyes, she saw it.

He saw his own .. heaven.

Mate!
