His door was open.
Shit.
I opened Lucifer’s door just a little more and there she was. Tucked under the heavy blanket. Her back facing me. I walked over to the other side of the bed, her eyes were open and puffy as she held her gaze on the window behind me.
Physically she’s here but she’s checked out.
“Catalina, come on let’s get you something to eat.” I held out my hand and waited for her to grasp it.
She didn’t move.
“How about I make you something to eat and bring it to you in here, is that okay?”
Please say something.
Silence.
I patted the top of her head as I stood up and made my way to the kitchen.
She’ll feel better in a few days. This will pass.
I knew she was upset. Lucifer and her had gotten closer over these past few months. I shouldn’t have left them alone so often but I thought Lucifer would do the responsible thing and just do what I asked of him. Yes, I was a little harsh but in the end, Catalina would thank me for this. She needed to be safe and I had to make sure that no matter what she would remain safe. Plus she had enough to deal with. Finding out who her biological father is was huge and she needed time to process it. Not to mention that she also just learned that her mother saw her as nothing more than a pawn to use against her father. Granted what the woman saw would terrify anyone, No one wanted to hear that their child was damned, but to go to the lengths that she did? It was horrifying. She nearly burnt her baby alive! She should have known that fates can change, and that’s exactly what was going to happen. I was going to keep Catalina safe, changing her fate.
Cain’s Daughter.
I was honestly surprised that I hadn’t noticed the similarities between them. Catalina looked nothing like the man who raised her or her brothers, yet I hadn’t seen Cain in centuries and I had honestly forgotten what the man looked like. I had just assumed her mother’s genes were more prominent in her.
I carried the tray of items to Lucifer’s old room and placed it on top of the dresser.
“I made your favorite sandwich, got you some chips and a brownie with a can of your favorite soda.”
She didn’t move.
“I’ll check on you in a little bit.”
Slowly I made my way back towards the door.
This is for your own good Catalina.
I hated seeing her like this. I hated seeing her hurt but this was the only way to keep her safe. Hopefully, in time she would see that this was just to help her. That this is what needed to be done.
In a few days, everything will go back to normal.

6 Days Later
It had been six days and Catalina still hadn’t left Lucifer’s room. She started eating and drinking at least but it was very very little.
“Catalina, you have to get out of this bed.”
Silence.
“I told you what he was like, I tried to warn you and I’m sorry but you are not hurting anyone but yourself by just laying here.”
I know it sounded harsh but it was true. I figured if I could rile her up, some of that spark might have come back. She wasn’t hurting anyone but herself lying in this bed. Lucifer certainly wasn’t hurting and I was almost positive he had probably returned to his ways of sex and solitude. Proving my point that he had no real feelings towards Catalina.
Say something! Anything!
