Chapter 1
Sarafina sat in a wheelchair, looking down an expressionless look on her face as Asmodeus pushed her around. "Mama Sara?"Asmodeus says. She looked up at him, then looked back down, Asmodeus looking worried. "We're here for you..you know that right"Asmodeus says. She stayed silent, her hair draped over her shoulder. "I know..."Sarafina whispers. Asmodeus beamed, looking relieved. "You can speak!"Asmodeus smiled. Sarafina nodded, Asmodeus rolling her back to the mansion. Sarafina perked up, finding flowers being held out to her. "Take 'em"Mammon orders. She shakily rose her hands, taking the roses, staring down at them silently. "Thank you.."Sarafina mutters. "Yeah..."Mammon mutters looking away, arms crossed over his chest. Asmodeus pushed the wheelchair inside, Lucifer looking over. He walked over and picked her up, carrying her away. "Who gave you the flowers?"Lucifer asks curiously.
"Mammon..."Sarafina responds. It had been four days since she arrived, she had been unconscious for two and when she woke up she found that she was unable to walk. Lucifer had found her on the ground, trying to drag herself out and scolded her about it. Asmodeus announced himself as her caretaker, and has been caring for her since then, which was genuinely appreciated. "You alright"Lucifer asks laying her down in his bed. She gently touched the rose petals, Lucifer staring at her seeing how out of tune she really was. The Sarafina he used to know was a ball of fire and sunshine, she was sweet, kind and caring towards other but could get fierce when the time called for it and was always ready to defend everyone she cared about. "I'm fine"Sarafina says suddenly. She set the roses down, Lucifer placing a hand on her back. "I could take the day off tomorrow"Lucifer suggests.
"No..it's fine.."Sarafina answers. He frowned at her and placed his hand on her cheek, Sarafina looking up startled. "I miss seeing you smile, idiot"Lucifer sighed. "MAMA SARA!!" Leviathan walked in, carrying his phone, Lucifer snatching his hand away. "Check out this game! You're gonna love it!"Leviathan beamed passing the phone to her. She eyed the device, turning it over a few times curiously. "Here, I'll show you"Leviathan smiled. "Mama Sara, I brought you food"Beelzebub announces coming in. Sarafina stared, the rest of the boys coming in, Satan looking suspicious as the others surrounded her. "Here, these go with your eyes!"Asmodeus smiled. Sarafina trembled, tears falling down her cheeks. "Mama Sara?"Belphegor blinked concerned now. She covered her face, Lucifer glaring at his brothers, forcing them back. "Thank you"Sarafina mumbles lowering her hands. Beelzebub hugged her, patting her back. "We got you, Mama Sara"Beelzebub promised.
"When did you last eat?"Asmodeus asks. She looked down, her stomach growling. Beelzebub nudged her lips with the ham, gently waving it around encouraging her to eat, Sarafina staring silently. She took a bite, Beelzebub smiling at her relieved. Another bite came from her, Beelzebub passing the ham to her, Lucifer sitting beside her. "She needs her rest"Lucifer insists beckoning for them to leave. Belphegor passed her his pillow, surprising some of the others before he turned away, leaving the room. Lucifer took the ham bone from her, watching as he yawned. "Sleep"Lucifer orders laying her down. She pursed her lips together, a blank look still on her face. "Heal at your own time, don't force the process"Lucifer advises tucking her in. Getting to his feet, she watched him leave the room, slowly drifting off into a deep slumber. Sarafina closed her eyes, gripping the pillow as she fell asleep.
Lucifer walked downstairs, rubbing the back of his head sighing. He had never seen Sarafina like this before, so broken and lost. "Lucifer!" He looked up, Diavolo smiling at him, Barbatos behind the demon. "I heard we had a new arrival, where is she"Diavolo smiled. Of course rumors appeared about Sarafina, no doubt someone saw her falling. "She's resting, and I don't think now is a good time to interrupt her"Lucifer responds. "Just a peek"Diavolo presses. Lucifer pressed a hand to his face and sighed. "Fine, a quick peek"Lucifer agrees. Diavolo headed up the stairs, Barbatos curious about the new arrival. "Rumors had it she fell from the Celestial realm, is that true"Diavolo wonders. "She hasn't said anything, she just started speaking again not too long ago"Lucifer explains. "Interesting"Barbatos comments. "My room"Lucifer comments. He opened his room door, Sarafina sleeping peacefully.
Diavolo stepped closer, his eyes widening as he stared down at her, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. "She's very pretty"Diavolo comments respectfully. Sarafina stirred, furrowing her brows looking disturbed. "Sorry"Diavolo mutters looking startled. Sarafina's eyes opened, startling him. Violet eyes landed on him, Diavolo staring at her stunned. "Lucifer.."Sarafina says suddenly. Lucifer appeared by her side instantly, helping her sit up. "I'm thirsty.."Sarafina mutters. "I'll get her water"Barbatos insists. He turned and walked away, Diavolo watching Lucifer and Sarafina silently. Sarafina leaned against Lucifer, dark bags under her eyes. "How are you feeling?"Lucifer asks. "Sleepy"Sarafina answers. She flinched, her eyes widening when Diavolo came closer. "Can I help?"Diavolo asks. She looked away, Barbatos returning, handing her the cup of water. "We should go"Diavolo suggests. He walked away, Barbatos trailing after him. "They look good together"Diavolo says.
