Silence.
“CATA-”
A burst of fire raged from her hand, devouring the tree and causing her to stumble back into me.
Her eyes were full of horror as she took in the tree and saw the entire thing up in flames. She stared at her shaking hands for a moment before closing them tightly. She wrestled herself out of my arms and began running towards the house.
SHIT.
“CATALINA!”
I yelled out for her but she kept running back to the house as if she couldn’t hear me and slammed the door shut behind her.
What the fuck happened?

Catalina’s POV
I fucked up. I royally fucked up. I can’t do this. I can’t do this. I can’t do this!
“Do you want to talk about it?” I turned and saw Lucifer standing in the doorway to our bathroom. I came in here to splash some cold water on my face and to cool down. I nodded my head and he walked over, put his arms around me, and pulled me close.
“I don’t know what happened, one minute I’m doing what you said and visualizing the tree, and then the next thing I know I’m seeing images from my childhood.”
Seeing those memories, It sucked. Hearing the crying, the screaming, the sound of the belt hitting flesh. I thought I had gotten rid of those memories, or at least buried them deep enough.
“I’m sorry about the tree, I’ll help you put it out.”
He gently rubbed my arms with his hands and whispered to me,
“I already took care of it.”
Lucifer kissed the top of my head and looked into my eyes through the mirror,
“And you have nothing to be sorry for.”
“I fucked up in training.”
Lucifer smirked,
“You’re supposed to screw up, that’s why it’s called training.”
Smart-ass.
“Besides you did manage to hit the tree so I deem that progress enough.” Lucifer spun me so that I faced him and kissed me.
Can we just stay like this forever, please?
“If you guys are gonna do it, at least learn to close the damn door.”
SHIT
“My apologies brother, we didn’t see you there.” Lucifer stiffened as he turned to Gabriel.
His face remained still. Almost statue-like.
Oh No…
