Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Helping Beatrix
[3rd POV - Lucifer Morningstar]
It didn't take long before Dowling herself had done something rather...dumb. After realizing that Beatrix was out during the death of her secretary "Callum" a man that was secretly working with Beatrix to free Rosalind, not that Beatrix was even trying to do that anymore, as she had decided to not free the woman, after her talk with Lucifer.
But now that Lucifer had heard of the girl being imprisoned by Dowling, the woman waited no time to march down to where the Headmistress currently held her. Which was a small abandoned building on the East side of the school.
Walking up to the unassuming building that was basically a small warehouse, Lucifer was stopped by two specialist students.
"You aren't allowed in there" The teen stopped her, as Lucifer raised an eyebrow at him, before waving her hand. The two teens blinked in confusion as they looked around, Lucifer seemingly disappearing from their sight as she walked past them. She had done a small bit of mind wiping on them, making them forget she had ever appeared there.
Walking into the building, Lucifer noticed Dowling standing there, her eyes glowing as she attempted to break into the mind of Beatrix, while Saul stood there on the side, looking conflicted as he watched the Headmistress attempt to break into the mind of a teen.
"What in the hells are you doing?" Lucifer spoke out, causing Saul to jump in fright, while Dowling turned around with surprise on her face.
"Lucifer? What are you-" "I'm here to stop you from breaking into the mind of an innocent girl, Dowling" Lucifer cut her off, waving her hand as the prison around Beatrix shattered into nothing.
"Lucifer she-" "Didn't kill Callum, Dowling. The boy had attempted to get in by himself, Beatrix didn't aid him or kill him" Lucifer cut her off once more.
"But she was working with him, correct?" Dowling asked, frowning.
"Not because she wanted to, Dowling. Her adoptive father had forced it upon her, basically raised her for the sole purpose of releasing Rosalind. And it'd be best if you trust me, Dowling, I don't lie, and I can easily sense them. She had talked to me about her father quite some time ago, and trust me, this little girl is not here to harm anyone, not anymore" Lucifer replied as she crouched down to the girl who whimpered in pain, a device cutting into her wrist.
It was a device designed to cut off the magic of those that wore it, and it was...rather tortuous. It cut off the magic of the wielder, which was NOT a good feeling, and it did it by digging into the arm of the wearer.
"It's okay little one" Lucifer softly said, as she waved her hand, the "Cuffs" shattering in a similar manner to the small cell that held her. The girl let out a soft groan as the cuff's disappeared, only to blink as the pain ceased. Looking down to her arm, her eyes widened in surprise as the injuries from the cuffs disappeared, healed in an instant.
"Are you alright, Beatrix?" Lucifer asked, causing the girl to nod.
"Y-Yes, thank you Professor" Beatrix replied as she noticed Saul who looked horrified while Dowling looked uncomfortable.
'Seems they've realized what they were doing was wrong' Lucifer mused, as Beatrix got to her feet.
"Who is her father to raise her in such a way?" Saul asked, frowning as he didn't like the sound of a girl being raised in such a manner, for the sole purpose of freeing Rosalind from her prison.
"Andreas" Lucifer said simply, as Saul's eyes shot wide in shock.
"Impossible! Andreas died!" Saul exclaimed, as Lucifer raised an eyebrow.
"And did you see his dead corpse? Did you see him actually die, or did it just look like it? Magic is a powerful thing, Saul, and while Rosalind is nothing but a weakling in my eyes, she has the skill to hide the man and from what I have heard, is smart enough to have a backup plan" Lucifer replied, watching as Saul began to slowly think over his fight with Andreas, as realization began to hit him that he never actually saw the man's dead corpse, nor did he confirm if he was truly dead. And with how skilled Rosalind is...Saul realized that Lucifer might be right.
"How can you be sure that she will not aid in freeing Rosalind?" Dowling asked, glancing at Beatrix who was basically hiding behind Lucifer, uncomfortable with the looks Dowling was giving her.
"Because I said she won't. I'm the devil, Dowling, sensing things like this is easy to do. If I say she won't do something, then you better trust what I say. That, and she is under my protection now, so it'd be best if you don't try to do anything like this again, understand?" Lucifer said sternly, as Beatrix's eyes widened in surprise while Dowling looked her in the eye before nodding slowly.
"...Fine, but if she does anything to even try and release Rosalind, then she will be punished accordingly" Dowling replied with a serious glint in her eyes.
"As you wish, but she won't" Lucifer replied, before turning to Beatrix with a soft smile.
"Would you like to come with me, Beatrix? I was preparing to make some dinner, and I'm sure my daughter would love to have a friend to join us" Lucifer offered as Beatrix looked surprised.
"I wouldn't want to intrude" Beatrix said, shaking her head.
"Trust me, love, you won't be" Lucifer replied as Beatrix looked at her for a few moments.
"...Okay, I'll join you for dinner"
Smiling as the response, Lucifer gave the girl a soft pat on the head, before turning to Dowling and Saul.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got a delicious meal to get to" Lucifer spoke, as she motioned for Beatrix to follow her as she walked past the two, leaving them to themselves and their thoughts.

Walking into their room, Beatrix looked around in surprise at the larger inside.
"It's bigger than you thought, huh?" Beatrix nodded slowly at this.
"Magic is a powerful force for things like this. Increasing the size of the room beyond its normal space was easy enough once you understand it" Lucifer said before Alice rounded the corner much to the surprise of Beatrix.
"Luci? Oh, hi Beatrix!" Alice said, noticing Beatrix as she pecked a kiss to Lucifer's lips.
"Beatrix, this is Alice Morningstar, my wife" Lucifer said, amused as Beatrix's eyes widened in shock.
"But-" "I'm a lot older than I look, Beatrix" Alice cut her off with a giggle as Beatrix looked shellshocked.
"So Rose is your daughter?" Beatrix asked in surprise as Alice nodded.
"Mama, is Beatrix joining us for dinner?" Rose asked in surprise as she walked out of her room upon hearing the voice of her Mama.
"Why don't you ask her?"
Hearing this, Rose walked up to Beatrix and looked up to the teen with a happy smile, Aila (her Eevee) held in her hands. "Are you going to eat dinner with us, Bea?" Rose asked with her adorable eyes shining in excitement, as Beatrix struggled not to coo at the adorable girl, she also noticed the nickname and couldn't help but let out a small giggle.
"I am, if you'll have me" Beatrix replied with a smile, as Rose cheered in excitement, and wasted no time grabbing the girls hand and dragging her.
"Yay! Cmon, I gotta show you my room!" Rose cheerfully said as she ran off with Beatrix in tow, leaving a giggling Alice and an amused Lucifer.
Wrapping her arm around Alice, Lucifer smiled softly and spoke, as Alice's smile widened upon hearing her wife.
"It looks like we'll be getting another daughter after all"

That's the end of the chapter!
Next chapter will be a part of the dinner, another class, and some more stuff.
I am currently sick (Have the flu) which is why this update has taken so long. I should be better soon though, hopefully at least.
Anyways, have a good day!
