Dove's POV

I dialed a number, and the person picked up the call after a few rings.

"If you want Lucifer, come to the address I am texting you. Bring all the documents about the sins, also Nina Robbins will be present there so you better come prepared," I said.

"Whatever you want, Miss Stanley," I heard him say.

I hung up the call and texted Snow White, the hospital's address. I informed him that we will be on the rooftop. I went out of the room where Twilight was admitted and looked around. I saw Laura walking up to me.

"Hey, you mind staying with Twilight for a while? I have somewhere to be urgent. It won't take long I promise," I said.

"Don't worry about it, I will be with Twilight," she said. "If you meet Vinter, tell him to meet me later."

"Will do," I said as I walked away.

I took the elevator and reached the top floor. I climbed the stairs to reach the door of the rooftop. The door was open as a gentle breeze flew through my hair.

"What pleasant weather to do something unpleasant like revenge," I mumbled as I entered through the door and saw Lucifer standing on the parapet, looking to the other side.

"Ah! You are here already? How is Twilight Harris doing?" He asked as he turned around.

"He is doing better, his condition has stabilized," I replied.

"That's good," he mumbled as he took in a deep breath and smiled.

"I did not expect that you would come all the way here alone," I said.

"I have always been alone— from the beginning of my time and till the end," he replied. He stepped down from the parapet.

"But I have never seen you taking any mission directly," I pointed.

"Others are out on another mission, which left me to complete this mission."

"Our guests are pretty late," he said.

"Guests?" I asked.

"You will see, dear one. Soon."

What did he plan? He cannot be that dumb to come here on his own knowing damn well that he is a wanted criminal, right?

"Dove?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned around to see Vinter standing near the entrance of the rooftop.

"Vinter? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I got the message from Leviathan to come here," he said and he looked at Lucifer. "I am sorry but have we met before?"

"I don't think so, Mr. Harris. I am Lucifer, the one who informed Leviathan to call you here. I'm sure my subordinate gave you another message as well," Lucifer spoke. Vinter's eyes widened in horror.

"You are the Lucifer... the leader of the sins organization?" Vinter asked.

"Yes, I am that very Lucifer. Though I must say, I am honored to finally meet you, Mr. Harris," Lucifer extended his hand. Vinter's shakily grabbed Lucifer's hand and shook it.

I placed my hand on Vinter's shoulder. He is nervous, I mean who wouldn't be? If I were to meet someone like Lucifer so suddenly, I would be shaking in fear as well.

"It's okay, I'm here," I whispered in Vinter's ears.

"Yeah, I umm... received Leviathan's message to lure Nina Robbins over here," Vinter spoke.

Lure Nina? Is Lucifer planning to kill Nina?

"Good. Now let's wait for our mouse to show up. Though my condolences to you, Mr. Harris for your father's death," Lucifer spoke.

"It's okay. I know it was going to happen someday, after all, I made a deal with the sins for his death as well," Vinter replied with a sigh. His voice was filled with sorrow and pain.

"Quite an intriguing man you are, Mr. Harris," Lucifer said as he casually pulled a pistol out of his pocket. It was the same pistol that I stole from one of Vinter's guards. I was going to kill Lucifer with that. How does he have it?

"That is..."

"The pistol you brought to my hideout the other day, it's funny, Dove that you didn't notice when I took this pistol from your hand. You were too busy talking to Leviathan," Lucifer spoke. I gasped in surprise.

With all the rush going on I didn't even realize that this gun was missing all the time. How can I be so careless?

He handed me the pistol as I stared at him confused.

"Just returning what belongs to you, dear one," he spoke.

"What is going on here?" Vinter asked. Before I could explain I heard the clicks of heels knowing damn well who it was.

"Nina," I spoke as I looked at the entrance of the rooftop.

"What on Earth, Stanley? Why are you here with my boyfriend?" Nina asked as she approached me and Vinter.

I could feel Lucifer slipping away from behind me. His stealth movements are remarkable as he can make his presence known and he can switch it off making his presence undetectable as well.

"I was told to lure you here," Vinter spoke in a bored tone.

"Lure me? What do you mean, Vin?" She asked as she went to cup Vinter's face. He smacked her hands away.

"Stay away from me, murderer," Vinter spoke in absolute disgust as he took steps away from Nina.

"What... what are you saying-"

"Now now, Nina. No need to play dumb, I know what you did and Vinter knows it too. So just accept your crimes," I spoke as I twirled the gun in my hand.

"If you know so much why don't you say it, Stanley?" Nina spat.

"You killed Vinter's old man in order to kill Twilight, it was my boyfriend's good luck that he is alive right now. You have no idea what I would have put you through if something had happened to Twilight," I chuckled darkly.

"Liar! I did no such thing! Your habit of lying hasn't gone yet? You always try to play the victim card, Stanley!" She pathetically attempted to defend herself.

"I have proof," I winked at her.

"Now, Miss Nina Robbins, admit your crimes or I will make sure to torture you on my own accord," Lucifer walked up to me as he spoke to Nina.

"Who are you? A cop?" Nina asked walking backward. "No... you don't look like a cop."

"Lucifer," I spoke. "He's Lucifer."

Nina gasped as she panicked and while stepping back she tripped and fell on her butt. She hissed in pain.

I could feel Lucifer behind me as he placed his hands on my shoulder leaning ahead. His hot breath tickled the back of my neck.

"Dear one, what do you want to do to her?" He asked. His sudden closeness gave me chills running down my spine.

"I... I..."

"I would suggest, you should kill her once and for all. She tried killing your boyfriend once, tomorrow she might try killing your soulmate. Erase her permanently so she poses no threat to your loved ones, ever," he whispered in my ears.

"Kill..."

I pulled the gun I was holding at her. Nina's eyes widened in fear as tears filled her eyes.

"No... no..." she begged. She turned around to Vinter.

"Vinter! Save me! You loved me right? Even if you don't love me now, I never thought of harming you, ever! Save me! I love you, Vinter!" She pleaded.

Vinter gave her nothing but a cold stare.

"I don't want to save you," he coldly replied.

"Wh-what..."

I burst into hysterical laughter. A very loud laughter erupted as I placed my other hand on my face.

"Look what you just did, Nina! Look at the mess you caused! Look closely cause this is your demise!" I walked up to her. She stared at me in nothing but pure fright.

"You truly are a monster, Dove," she whispered.

"You are the reason I turned out to be like this. All I wanted was to have a normal school life," I pressed the mouth of my gun to her temple.

"You tormented me mentally the most. Every time you called me "weird", "birdbrained", "retard", "slut", etc etc. You dumped garbage can on my head every time I went to use the bathroom stalls. You accused me of attempted murder. You accused me of your boyfriend's death. Every slap and kick I received from your friend group. It all added up and turned me into this monster!"

"I am sorry! I am sorry! I am so sorry for what I did, Dove! Forgive me!" She begged and cried. Her head hung low.

"Get up," I said.

"Huh?"

"Get fucking up!" I yelled. "I want to see your face when I fucking kill you. I want to see the horror in your eyes."

She sat there not obeying anything I said. I groaned as I forced her up.

"Don't do this, Dove! I promise to never show up in front of you or anyone you love! I beg you! Don't kill me!" She whimpers.

"Yes! Beg! That's what I want you to do! Just like how I begged you to take back your fake confession to court! Do you know what it feels like to burn your skin with a cigarette? Or to almost get raped? I went through the pain I didn't even deserve! All because of you!" I screamed in her face. "You are a pathetic excuse of a human. I want you to stop existing!"

"No... no-"

"Bethany's death was your doing, wasn't it?" I asked. Her eyes widened.

"How did you-"

"I knew it from the beginning because if it was done by the sins the body would have been discarded perfectly and they would have left their specific sign. But I didn't see anything like that."

"Now then, can't forgive someone who tries to accuse the innocents over and over again. It has become your habit to frame people for a crime they never did," I chuckled.

"Allow me to bring justice to them," I spoke as I almost pulled the trigger.

"Drop your weapon!" I heard a stern voice. I looked in that direction and saw Snow White with a lot of cops.

Before I could do anything Nina took the chance to go near Vinter. She pulled out a pocket knife and placed it near Vinter's neck.

She had a dangerous grin on her face.

"One wrong move and I will slit his throat, Stanley," she threatened.

"Drop your weapon, Nina Robbins! You are coming with us. There is a warrant against you," Snow White loudly announced.

"I will pull this trigger, Nina! Let Vinter go!" I ordered.

"Do it, Dove. She won't kill me!"

"I will kill you! I swear! You pull that trigger, I will make sure Vinter dies with me!" Nina threatened.

I am not sure. I can't risk Vinter's life, I can't pull this trigger.

Suddenly cold hands were placed on my shoulders.

"Pull the trigger, Dove. Vinter is right. She can't kill him," I heard Lucifer whisper in my ears.

"Don't listen to him, Dove! He's manipulating you!" I heard Snow White say.

Lucifer chuckled devilishly, his voice echoed in my ears. It was truly evil laughter, I have never heard a burst of laughter like this before.

"Look around Dove. If you agree with what others are saying, you will never get a chance to take your revenge again. If you think I'm manipulating you, then look at your soulmate, he wants you to pull the trigger. He wants you to take revenge for the death of his father," Lucifer spoke.

His words are so alluring, I can't pull the gun back. I can't let go of the trigger. I don't want to become a murderer, but I also want to put an end to my never-ending trauma. If I kill Nina, will I get my solace?

"Don't shoot, Dove!" Snow White pleaded. I looked at him, this was the first time he showed real emotion. There was sorrow in his eyes. Why was he sad about all this?

"You are useless, Dove Stanley," Lucifer pulled the gun away from my hand in no time and shot two times.

I gasped in shock at his sudden action, my ears went numb as I couldn't hear anything. Blood oozed out of Nina's chest. The shot looked so perfect, it was right at the place where her heart was present. I saw Vinter's face, he looked horrified.

Nina's body fell to the ground as she tried to breathe. Her eyes were wide as she gasped for air. My oldest enemy is slowly losing her life right in front of me and I am not being able to move.

Someone roughly pulled my arm as I turned around to look at Snow White. He was shouting something, but I could barely figure out what he was saying.

"Dove!"

"Dove!"

"Can you hear me!"

Finally, I could hear him.

"Ye-yeah," I mumbled, still shocked.

"I want you to take Vinter Harris back. You are not allowed to speak of this incident or our contract to any outsider. Nina Robbins is now deceased and Lucifer is under our custody. You two have nothing to do with any of this, am I clear?" Snow White asked.

I gave him a small nod as I looked at Lucifer who had his hands cuffed.

"Did not think you would betray me like this, dear one," Lucifer spoke. There was still a gentle smile playing on his lips. But what's even scary was there was no remorse or guilt on his face even after he just murdered someone. This man truly is a cold-blooded murderer.

"My last mission also ended with a success," he spoke.

Snow White gestured for the cops who were holding Lucifer to let go of him as he approached the man.

"Been such a long time since we last met, Snow White," Lucifer spoke.

Do they know each other?

"Lucifer the center of all chaos," Snow White's words sounded venomous.

"Dove..." I heard a whisper from behind me as I turned around to look at a traumatized Vinter.

"Shit!" I cursed as I rushed to hug him.

Of course, he's not used to such bloodshed.

He cried on my shoulder as I rubbed his back comforting him.

"You are remarkably strong, Vinter. I'm so proud of you," I praised him.

Yesterday he lost his father and today he witnessed such a horrifying event. If I were in his place I would have gone insane by now. But here this man is, merely crying on my shoulder.

I saw a few men, probably of Snow White's, taking Nina's corpse on the stretcher. As Snow White took Lucifer with him, and the cops disappeared along with them.

Now all that was left on the rooftop was me, Vinter, and blood.

"If life is fair to none, then it's fair to all."

Do you think Dove did right by not pulling the trigger?

This is my 50th chapter. This story is almost near its end. I'm glad it turned out better than I thought.
