"Fire is a force of destruction, but look a little closer and you'll see it is also a force of life"

The fire eyed girl stares deep into his red glowing ones, the smile on her face never leaving her as she sits up. "Lucifer" She whispers, her voice soft and gentle, like herself. A soft laugh escapes his lips as he walks over to her and pick her up into his arms. Afraid that if he doesn't touch her, she might pass away again and the pain he went through, he can't go through that again, he can't lose her again and he will do whatever it takes to keep her safe from now on. Even if he had made that vow and that hasn't exactly been going well for him with that one.

"You're alive. You're alive" He mutters over and over again, as he cradles her like a baby in his arms. Feeling her chest rise up and down and feeling her heartbeat is enough to tell him that she's actually alive, yet no matter how much he tries, he can't believe it. The girl is finally his and his alone, now no one will take her away from him. "I'm alive. I do not know how, but I am" She speaks to him, seeing how panicked he is.

Everything is strange for her, then again it has been strange from the beginning so she's getting used to it. "My love, please don't ever leave me" He tells her as their eyes meet. Her hand on his chest as she feels his heartbeat. The courage inside her pushing her forward and shocking both the King and the Queen is her hands travel to his face and pulls it towards her. Capturing his lips into hers, she kisses him and he welcomes it. As he's not going to deny a kiss from the love of his life. Though, it has always been he who made the first move, yet now she's doing it, it shocks and surprises both of them.

The kiss did not last very long as he breaks it, allowing her to breathe. It broke him when she wasn't breathing and he will celebrate her every breath from now, and he will not be the cause that she does not take a breath. "If we keep this on, I will do things I might regret" He speaks as he holds her, her hands still on both sides of his cheeks, just holding him there. She gives him an innocent smile as she gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"Don't worry, forever is a long time for other things" She says winking and a playful smirk on her face appears as she forces him to let go of her. When she's standing on her two feet, she needs to hold onto him to be able to keep herself standing, as her feet are not able to hold her weight just yet, she just came back from the dead. Again. And she's just getting used to it, as it has taken a bit from her. His chuckles at her, and how playful yet innocent yet naughty she is.

She walks past him to the door, after she is able to hold herself up without stumbling. Fixing the crown on her head, wondering how it is able to stay on her head after everything, she goes to the door. Lucifer in all his excitement had forgotten what awaits them out there and by that he means the dead guards on the floor, he doesn't want her to see more death than she already has. "Perhaps we should not go there... yet" He says but by the time he had spoken, she had already opened the door.

Somehow he wonders how she's not mad at him or even throwing things at him in anger for he has done things to hurt her in ways that he never wanted to harm her in and somehow she has forgiven him... or forgotten about it, he doesn't care and doesn't want to ask, afraid it will only cause her more pain. He rushes to her side in the hallways, but he couldn't stop her from seeing the dead bodies as she stares at them with widened eyes. "W-what happened?" She asks him, turning her head to look at him with water in her eyes.

Lucifer is quick to wrap his arms around her, comforting her. Looking around, he notices that his little sister is no where to be found and doesn't know where she has gone to, most likely killing anything that moves or doing anything Luna like thing. Which is murdering and killing. "It will be all right, after your death Luna was angry at me and wanted to hurt me by hurting them but they're in a good place now" He says, clearly lying, but she doesn't need to know that.

Knowing that they are not in a good place, he doesn't want to tell her that. She has shed enough tears for things she doesn't need to cry about, and call him jealous but the only tears she's allowed to shed are the tears of joy that he has brought her to cry. "Where is she?" Arabella asks him, looking up from the hug. Wiping her watery eyes in his shirt, she looks up again to meet his eyes, the eyes that once terrified her to the bones, yet now she finds only comfort in those red glowing eyes of his.

"She doesn't know I'm alive, I think we should tell her. I remember her holding me and then... nothing..." She says looking on the walls, making sure not to let her fire eyes wander to the floor with the dead guards. He breaks the hug and his hands go on her shoulders, making her look at him. "What happened after that?" He asks her, he needs to know what happened to her after her death, as it could explain how she came back to life as he believes her to be a normal human. Yet, how can one be a normal human if they possess the power over Hellfire and the whole world?

"I felt this pull. It was strange, I felt at peace and then I felt like something was dragging me. I could not move and I could not stop it. I felt no touch on me, yet I went there and I knew I was safe. I do not know how I know... I just do. And then I felt you... your energy flow through me" Arabella speaks, trying desperately to remember what had happened to her. Her every memory has not yet returned to her, and some memories even from her childhood are missing, yet she prays they shall return soon.

He sighs. He knows that he won't get a clear answer from her. "Shall we get you to your throne? I'm sure she's there and the people need to see that their Queen can survive anything and we're stronger than ever" Lucifer tells her, trying to take her mind of her own death. She nods her head. The King with a happy grin on his face offers her his arm and she happily wraps her arm around his and together the King and Queen walk to the throne room, he of course going the way that has less dead guards on the floor.

Cursing Luna that she has killed everyone or put them into forever sleep and now no one is there to clean up the mess that she has made, just like ten thousand years ago, perhaps she hasn't changed that much, even after so many years. "What happened here? I believe one of you went into a murder spree and by the looks of you, I'm going to guess that it was Luna, as you are calm and nervous and not angry" She speaks, clearly speaking her mind.

She's never really been this open to another person, just saying what she wants without the fear of her being punished by it, as women in her village can't think for themselves or speak up unless spoken to and it's almost never that the man wishes to speak with a woman unless forced to. "You must certainly have figured it out, I knew you were wise as you are kind" He answers with a proud smile on his face. The love of his life is wise beyond her years, even at fifteen years old, she can figure out things that even the oldest person could not.

"It was quite simple" She says but doesn't say anymore, she might have this courage inside her, yet there is this part of her that still fears the man she's with, only because of how harsh he was with her the first time they met and she's never really gotten over that. It's not that she's still afraid of him, she's beyond that, it's only that she doesn't want to make him mad like she did the first time, she can still remember that day. Stopping in front of the throne room doors, he turns to look at her.

"There are people in there, our subjects. They came when they felt your death, they came to pay their respects for you. If we go in there, they will be shocked at seeing you and they will want to touch you to see if you're real. I can make sure that none touch you as the last time that happened you got a knife in your stomach" He says, the last sentence he had to force out and with venom, the anger rising within himself as he is ashamed of himself of what happened to her.

Feeling responsible for everything that came to happen to this sweet girl is something that he has been feeling since her first death, which to him seems so long ago, when in reality it only happened a few days ago. Everything has been happening so fast and neither of them get a break from anything. "No. I want them to touch me. I felt empowered the last time, and even when one woman gave into her hatred that does not mean that the rest of them will. You should have seen their faces, it was beautiful to see how much they looked up to me" She says, remembering how good she felt just by being with her subjects.

He might not feel better knowing that she has allowed this, but this this for his Queen, his Arabella and his love. He would do anything just to see that beautiful smile on her face. "All right. Here we go then" He says and the doors open for them, by his command of course, as the castle is under his power and soon it will be hers as well. Like he had told her, there are people in there, a lot of them.

Most if not all of them crying or have dried tears on their faces. They're in their human form, as they had been warned by their King to always be in their human form instead of their demon one as it would frighten the girl, even after they believe her to be dead. "She's alive" "I cannot believe this" "You see her?" "How's she alive?" "How can this be?" "It is a miracle" "Our Queen survives" "Long live the Queen" The people talk amongst themselves. The two of them head for the thrones and as there are not guards to keep the people away, they go to their King and Queen, in shock of course.

However, none are in the way of their King and Queen. Lucifer has a straight angry face and they avoid even making eye contact with him, while most of them want to get a glimpse of their Queen. Arabella smiles at them and allows them to touch her hand, but her other hand is still wrapped around Lucifer's and he's not letting her go. He watches her every movement, just to be sure that no one does her any harm.

He needs to lightly pull her so that she will come with him to the throne, as she's too busy trying to be with her subjects and they want to be with their Queen. She slowly walks up to her throne and the two of them sit on their rightful thrones. As they're seated, the people in the throne room, all bow down before their King and Queen. After a moment or two the people stand up and their eyes never leaving the young fire haired Queen on her throne, afraid they will lose her for the third time.

"Today, we shall not mourn but celebrate Queen Arabella, for she has blessed us with her life once again and we shall cherish her for all her days" Lucifer speaks, now all eyes at him. He speaks with such power and majestic way that makes everyone listens to his every word. "It is true, she had lost her life not once but twice in a short amount of time, but fear not my humble subjects for she is your rightful Queen and nothing will stop her from ruling, not even death" He speaks again, looking over at Arabella and seeing her with her head high and a gentle smile on her face, making her glow with happiness.

"She shall rule beside me as your beloved Queen and you shall show her the same respect as you do me. Should a command come from her, you shall do it with no question or hesitation. Make no mistakes, my beautiful Queen might show kindness and might be gentle, for it is I who will show no mercy" He says in a warning tone, the power radiate voice never slipping away from anyone, they know exactly who it is who rules and they shall not forget it.

She wanted to say something, she just couldn't find the right words. When he spoke to them, he knew what to say, he knew the right words. She's still learning the rules around there, she doesn't even understand everything completely, then again she has died two times and came back to life, and right now her memories aren't all there. However, in this movement, she feels like she belongs on that throne, with him. All her life, she has felt like she didn't belong with her brother, still she always blamed it on the fact that she never grew up with her mother or father with her.

The love she holds for her brother is so strong that she never told them how out of place she actually felt, not wanting them to feel like they have failed in raising her when in reality they raised her the right way and they love her with all their hearts. Yet, now she feels like this is where she belongs and this is where she shall be. Forever. "How is her royal highness alive, we all felt her death?" A woman from the crowd asks the two on their thrones.

Few others agree with her, yet not many dare to speak up, afraid of Lucifer. Just because he has his Queen, it does not mean that he will not be ruthless and evil. Most of them have been in the Underworld for years and know of his wicked ways, and he will continue to use them. "The Queen who rules the world is immortal" Lucifer answers, thought Arabella knows he's lying as the two of them have no idea how exactly she's still alive, or at least she doesn't know it. The thought of her being immortal has never crossed her mind.

In stories and legends, there are those who can never die and never grow old, yet not once has she begun to think that she might be one of those people. Then again, she's a Queen with actual magical properties and things that not even she herself understand. Arabella notices a woman in the corner of her left eye, staring at her. Turning her head, a woman with a worried look watches her, and when their eyes meet, she feels as if the woman is staring deep into her soul. The smile falls right from her face.

Without even thinking of it, the fire eyed girl stands up from her throne, earning all eyes on her, even the man sitting on the throne beside hers. Yet, she doesn't notice how everyone stares at her. The crown on top of her head and her head high as she walks down the stairs. Her crimson red dress following behind her as she walks. Standing in front of the woman, she looks into her eyes, seeing something in them. "What is your name?" She softly asks the woman, who looks to be around twenty years old. Dressed in rags and her hair out of place.

The woman bows down in respect. "Thalia, your highness" The woman speaks, her voice low and even to Arabella, it was hard for her to hear her but she did hear her words. "You don't have to bow, Thalia" Arabella speaks as she gently sets her hand out for her to take it. Thalia hesitantly raises her hand and takes the hand of the young girl. Helping her stand up, Arabella looks into her eyes. Soft hazel green iris stare back into her fire ones. "Why is it that you alone dress less than all the others?" She asks the woman.

Thalia breaks the eye contact and looks at the people in shame, this worries the young Queen. "Come with me" Arabella says, still holding her hand, she gently pulls the girl in the direction of the doors that she and Lucifer came in. "You do not have to worry" She says. The people make way for the two of them as they walk, everyone stares at them, yet Arabella does not seem to care about it and just goes her way. Lucifer watches the girl that holds his heart with a smirk on his face.

The people whisper amongst themselves, wondering what their new Queen is doing and why she did it. They're not the only ones who are asking these questions. The glowing red eyed king wonders why she had gone and what it is she's doing out there. The doors had closed behind the two, leaving him and the people in the throne room with questions that only she can answer. Some look at him for help, hoping that he might set some light on things, yet she does not move or show any sign that he's seeing them nor does he care about.

He's just frustrated that his love isn't by his side, and he worries for her life. Now that there are no guards to protect her, even when they did nothing to protect her, he worries that she will get herself killed. Again. Not even five minutes later, the doors open again, this time only Arabella walks in. Walking up to the throne, with a straight and emotionless face. And even more questions start to appear in the mind of the demons. Once she's by her throne, she stands on top of the stairs and looks out at them. Her eyes filled with rage as she looks upon them. "Things will be different from now on..." She begins, catching the attention of everyone in the room, even her love.
