Eternal Melody

LUCIFER/LEX

It didn't take long before Jacks stopped walking and said they were here.

Norah is here? They have only been walking for a few minutes. To think she was actually so close by.

Of course Agatha couldn't completely separate them. The soul and blood bond makes it difficult to keep them away from each other. If they do, the other one would become ill or potentially die. It's probably the only thing keeping Norah alive. So, during the times Agatha mocked him saying Norah was already dead. Lex knew she was lying.

"Where is-" Lex froze in his tracks as they approached a clearing where there was loads of people gathered around a wooden platform.

It was Norah, they had her locked in a fucking cage. No, that's not what upset him. What upset him was Norah's condition/ She looks famished like she hadn't eaten properly in years. There were several men in the cage with her. Norah was on top of a guy who was touching her breasts, one was yanking her hair and taking her from behind. Another was forcing himself onto her mouth. Her cries of pain broke him.

"No-please, stop already." Norah cried.

Lex could tell from her tone, that she has repeated these words so many times. How many times has she had to do this? 

Lex snapped and instead of waiting for the signal from the others. He revealed himself from the hiding spot. The crowd turned their attention to him all of them whispering due to his current appearance. He was seldom wearing any clothing except the cloak Jacks gave him. But modesty was the last thing on his mind. 

The men who were fucking Norah were far too occupied too notice him. The walk here was short but it was enough for him to regain some of his powers. It wasn't a lot but it would be enough to deal with these miserable fuckers.

The first one who noticed him was his beloved wife. Her eyes widened surprised and then gleamed with tears. He wanted to speak with her through the bond, but saw similar shackles in her hands that blocked their abilities.

Instead he used his shadows to caress her. 'Focus on me my love. No matter where they touch you, your mine.' Norah was still crying, but she slowly nodded her head.

The one who was fucking Norah's mouth, finally realized her attention was elsewhere and turned around spotting him. "Oh? Is this the husband?"

".."

"Yeah that's him alright, wonder how he got out."

"Maybe the mistress wants him to watch us fuck this whore of a wife."

"Sir, as you can see. Your wife has been enjoying herself. We fuck her non stop, in every position, and everywhere here. Those watching in the audience? They have all had her. We also fill her womb with-"

Lex didn't allow him to finish his sentence as black shadows pierced his heart causing the man to fall to the ground. The other guys tried to escape but when they realized they couldn't, they stupidly tried to fight back. 

The audience erupted into screams, but he didn't let them go. Everyone who touched her, all of them. They all have to die. Despite him losing control, he made sure that the shadows were not hurting Norah. 

Elza, Jacks and Lyra immediately took advantage of the small gap to rush forward to help Norah. Only when he was sure that their friends had her. He let his power go completely, the darkness devouring everything.

 _________________

Even when their screams vanished, even when there was nothing left. Even when the place was covered in blood. Lex couldn't push the darkness back. It was the first time he used so much of his power since he was cursed. Since the moment he was cursed he made sure to control how much power he uses.

A pair of familiar arms wrap around his back. Her arms were skinnier, more frail than before. But he can't mistaken this warmth.

"Lex." Norah said softly. "It's okay, I'm okay."

"No. They, they hurt you. I won't let them go."

"They are all gone, you rescued me love. I'm safe now because you saved me. Please, let me see you. I've missed you."

Those last words led to the shadows retreating inside his body and he finally turned to Norah. From the brief glance he got earlier he knew she was in a bad state. But seeing her up close, it broke him. 

Norah laughed weakly as she wraps her arms around his neck and buries her face there. She laughs. "You smell like dirt."

"Unfortunately, my cave didn't have luxurious bathing."

"That's okay, we can wash up together."

'Has she been-' Lucifer takes a whiff of her scent. She doesn't smell like dirt. They must have let her bathe but they definitely didn't do that as a sign of good will. He scoops her up in his arms and turned to his friends. 

"Is there a creek nearby?"

Jacks nodded. "There is one along the way, but let Lyra look at her bruises first."

Lex looked down and his gaze dimmed seeing the bruises that covered Norah's arms.. He turned to what was left of the bodies prepared to crush them more. But Norah shakes her head.

"Please, let's just go. Please Lex, I don't want to be here anymore."

 ______________

Lex stepped into the water and Norah immediately flinched.

'You have to be careful Alex. Norah's mental state isn't good after everything she has experienced. You already know what she was like after what Lennon did to her. This is a lot worst. These men don't love her like Lennon did, so they were a lot harsher.'

He uses his shadows to caress her arm, and Norah turns to him. "Husband?"

Lex nodded. "Can I come over?"

Norah slowly nodded and he moves until he was directly in front of her. His wife, he hasn't seen her in weeks or has it been months? He stopped counting down the days after a week had passed. It didn't take long for Agatha to break his spirit. 

They spend the next few minutes just looking at each other. He didn't know who made the first move. But before he knew it their lips were locked in a passionate kiss. He kissed her like he hadn't in a thousand years, and it truly felt like that. As immortals, they live forever. The time period of their capture is short, but it truly felt like a long time.
