"What are you doing here?" Sarah demanded. Her tone is clipped and emotionless. Angelina looked at her before a sigh escaped her lips.

They were caught.

"H-"

"I heard her groaning so I came here to make sure she was alright," his lie sounded so smooth and convincing. Sarah looked at him again and nodded her head before a smile crawled on her face. 

"Oh, that's alright!" She smiled as her lips stretched further. Angelina looked at Cassian in disbelief as she shook her head. 

"Yes, he's...right," Angelina muttered as Cassian glanced at her.

"Do you want something?" Angelina asked as Sarah quickly lost her smile replacing it with a look of anxiousness. 

"I-I needed a favor," Sarah mumbled as her eyes darted between the duo. She didn't know how to ask for help. How to convince her. But she needed to do it, for her sanity.

"And what is it?" Sarah looked anxious at Cassian, battling whether she should involve him in her matters or not. She breathed in deeply before giving it a go.

"Lucifer went somewhere, and he refused to tell me anything and now I wished to know where he went." 

Angelina inwardly smiled looking at Sarah's desperation for Lucifer but soon a tensed looked formed on her face as the frown on her forehead deepened.

"He didn't tell me anything," Angelina mumbled as she wrapped her arms around herself and sighed. Lucifer always excluded her from his matters. After Melissa's death, Lucifer stopped caring for her as he did before.
And she knew she didn't deserve this care.

"Probably, I know" Sarah looked instantly at Cassian as she strode towards him. 

"Where is he?" She asked too oblivious to fact that her desperation was showing her emotions. Cassian sighed, thinking of the consequences if he told her.

"He went with Michael, some sort of mansion...I don't remember," he shrugged as he recalled the conversation he heard Lucifer had with Michael.

Angelina quickly turned toward him as her eyes widened.
"Mansion you said. Which one?" Angelina's voice tensed with shock and worry. 

"Outskirts of Zhoutis. Why what happened?" Cassian sensed her sudden change in expression. He could outline the lines of worry on her forehead as she looked at Sarah with a wide expression. 

"Where is he, Angelina?" Sarah demanded. She knew Angelina knew where he was from the look on her face. Her blue eyes were dilated as she feared the outcomes.

"You're not going there," After five minutes Angelina muttered as she frantically looked at her. Her fear was authentic. Sarah's eyes narrowed as she processed her words.

"Why?" Sarah knew Angelina was keeping something from her and the look, she was giving her, confirmed her suspicion.

"It's....it's not safe.." The anticipation and glint of fear were making her blue eyes darker. Sarah's body tensed she looked at Angelina trying to see what was worrying her.

"Please...Angelina! Everyone's hiding things from me but you, you are my only friend who I can trust, right?" Desperation and vulnerability in Sarah's voice squeezed her heart with an unknown emotion. 

Sarah looked at her for a long moment until Angelina quickly averted her eyes.

"I'm just trying to keep you safe," the broken words escaped her lips and pierced Sarah's heart with their sharpness and vulnerability.

"By hiding things from me? Huh? I deserve to know what's happening, right?" Angelina didn't know why her words stung her. 

After a long silence, a small sigh escaped Angelina's lips before she turned around to look at Sarah.

"Promise me, you'll keep yourself safe," 

Sarah didn't know what did she mean but she still nodded.

"I'll try,"

****

Angelina didn't understand why she felt the harsh sting of guilt. 

She was again betraying Lucifer. 

Her senses were opposing her decision to bring Sarah in amidst chaos. Lucifer had warned her to tell Sarah anything but again she was going against him. 

She looked beside Sarah who was walking with her. She deserved it, she deserved to know but again it was not Angelina's place to tell her anything.

The large gigantic mansion peeked through the tall trees of the forest as they neared the place. The same feeling of anticipation along with anxiousness started eating her inside. Angelina knew this place held so many memories, which she wanted to forget. Her mind wandered off to the day when Melissa was killed or when she killed her. 
Angelina still didn't remember what happened that day as far she knew that she killed her, but how? She had no idea.

"It's scary.." Sarah whispered as she sucked under the branches of tall trees that were towering above her. 

"It was beautiful once...." Sarah looked at her when the look of familiarising danced in her eyes. This place didn't have good memories, she was confused by the look on Angelina's face. 

"I can't see anyone here,” Sarah muttered as she tilted her head to get a better look inside the mansion. 

"He's here, I can sense him," Angelina said before walking further. Sarah didn't waste a moment before trailing behind her. 

The mansion was giving her chills. The walls were black and it looked like it was burned but the broken windows and matching doors were making her regret her decision.
They walked across the backyard of the mansion as Sarah looked at scary walls covered with ashes. The questions were building inside her head. 

They halted in their steps when they heard the low voices coming from the front of the mansion. She could immediately identify Lucifer's and her Father's voices mixed with a few others she barely recognized.
