Chapter 31
Lucinda's POV
"Lucian!"
I watched as my chaotic surrounding slowed down until it came to a complete stop. Dami who was focused on Randy realised that everything around him a stopped.
Lucian appeared in front of me with his arms crossed and a slight scowl on his face. He eyed the bruise forming on my cheek with a harsh glare before he said something.
"Who hurt you?! I'll kill them right now..."
"As much as I'm flattered by the gesture you can wait until natural death takes place and have your fun in hell"
He smirked at my retort and looked in front of me at the the frozen body of a trembling Sasha. My hand was still on her back in a comforting manner.
He circled around me and observed the bloody Randy on the floor, Chase with swollen bruised knuckles as well as Dami. Donavan holding Chase back and Dami taking the opportunity of a lifetime to mess with him.
"So I assume this is the guy who laid a hand on my princess..."
He crouched down and touched his face. He retracted his fingers and found them stained in blood.
"Nicely done Damiano... Like a true warrior demon"
"As much as I'd love to take all the credit it's was actually the extra over there with brown eyes"
Lucian's eyes flickered towards Chase's face that was frozen in a defensive position. He face was contorted in a manner that looked like he was about to yell in frustration. Lucian quickly dismissed him and turned to me.
"So do you plan on telling me what happened here?"
"Well the thing is... I was just sitting by the door of storage house number 118 over there..."
I pointed towards Diego's families storage house.
"... And heard yelling outside till someone screamed... Well is was more of a shriek but they still sounded terrified... I went out to check what was happening and this asswipe was hurting her. I intervened, got slapped, kicked him hard in the balls and long story short, Chase and Dami were pummeling his face in."
I said all in one breath. Lucian looked at me nonchalantly like he was expecting more.
"I'm proud of you for defending this woman and standing up of yourself but I am still not clear at to why I'm here..."
"Well you can stop time so you're giving me time to think and I could use your help..."
"With what exactly..."
"Could you maybe erase this guy's memories and plant fake ones... Along with Sasha, Chase and Donavan..."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because I'm asking nicely... And I really care about these people and wouldn't like to see them in jail for assault..."
"You know I don't do anything for free..."
I huffed in annoyance. He always wants something back... Can't I just get one free favor!
"Ugh! What do you want?"
"Your forgiveness..."
Say what?
"Huh?"
"You haven't forgiven me still for taking away four months of your time in your most desperate year so if you swear that you forgive me I'll do it"
Really?
That easy... I never actually thought it bugged him that I never forgave him for what happened two days ago.
"Sure..."
"I want you to pledge it..."
Seriously!
I gave him a 'are-you-for-real-right-now' look and he returned it with a 'damn-straight' look. I rolled my eyes.
"I, Lucinda Morningstar pledge that I will forgive Lucian Zephyr Morningstar for past mistakes if he fulfills my request. If by any means he should violate our agreement I will revoke my forgiveness and never forgive him ever again. Damiano Antoine Velazquez as our witness"
I looked at him with a bored look on my face.
"Happy?"
"Very..."
He turned to the frozen bodies and watched him work. For a while he just kept observing them and not quite doing anything.
"What are you waiting for?"
"I still need to create a scene in my head... What particularly could lead to these events that would seem normal to humans?"
"He could have been jumped by a gang..."
Dami pipped up after having gone to the car to get a chocolate bar.
"Why though?"
He shrugged.
"Maybe he started showing them up or something like asserting dominance and they decided to teach him a lesson"
"Okay but how does Chase come into the mix? And you?"
"We tried to defend him and threw some punches... Simple"
"But I don't want Sasha to go back to this prick so keep the part where he was being a jerk..."
After going over the story for a while we finally formulated a good story that seemed believable if anyone were to ask... I think.To explain the bruise on my face we just made it seem like the one of the 'gang members' attacked me.
He touched everyone's temples for a few seconds before he put some worker demons to pose at the 'gang' to run away after he unfreezes time.
We changed Chase's body placement away from Donavan and near Randy. After Lucian was finished he waved a salute and disappeared. Me and Dami got back into our previous position to not seem suspicious.
Time began to speed up once more and everyone came back to normal speed. Chase still had fury in his eyes but was confused for a second before he saw the 'thugs' run away before he snapped back into it.
Donavan quickly reached for him phone in his pocket and called an ambulance. I noticed Sasha had started crying in her ball and I side hugged her to comfort her.
Chase was trying to get Randy to come back to consciousness when an ambulance arrived at the compound. They loaded Randy in and told us to go to the hospital to make a statement of what happened.
After calming down Sasha I got her in my car and sat with her in the back while Dami drove us to the hospital. Chase and Donny said they were going to get the boxes and lock up the warehouse and meet us at the hospital.
