Surrender?

"nobody would notice. Or even think of trying something stupid." Felix replied as he increased his pace with Victoria and the palace guards following swiftly behind him.

"Wait this is way too easy,  why would they leave the sword behind without any guard guarding it?  This could be a trap." Lucifer stated curiously. But Klaus obviously could not hear them through the mirror, that was why he needed to return to earth at the stipulated time agreed on earlier in order to get his next assignment.

Klaus waited carefully behind the pillar until Felix had gone farther. Then he dashed into the palace, it was empty... He sighed as he sped around in search of the sword.  And he found it beside Felix self acclaimed throne.

He sighed as everything seemed quite easy. He thought that he should just leave the sword and turn around but then this seemed like the best opportunity that he could  have in getting the sword without any opposition. "I just need to collect the sword and run away. No one would suspect a thing " he thought.

Then he sped towards the sword, grabbed it and as he turned to go,he saw Felix, Victoria and the rest of the palace guards standing right behind him.

"I knew this guy was a spy..." Felix stated with a smirk on his face.

"Holy shit, what do we do now? We need to rush down to hell and save him.." Wendy suggested..

"Hhps!, Incase you have forgotten, you are human and you'd have to die first before you can step your feet inside of hell, and once you die, you know you cannot come back to life like Lucifer did so you are out of the question. As for the rest of us that can actually go into hell and come back freely, we are totally out numbered, if we want to fight we have to fight smartly and not blindly. Looking at this now, I would say that Felix Calli Klaus a spy means that his cover has already been blown and they'd be expecting to see whoever sent him try to save him." Luciana stated.  Then she turned around and saw Lucifer staring at her strangely.

"What?"

"I never knew you had this much wisdom in you." Lucifer answered.

Luciana frowned. "So you are saying that you use to think that I am foolish.?"

"Duur, I was just being sarcastic." Lucifer replied turning his concentration back to what was happening in the mirror.

Klaus just stood at a fixed point staring at Felix and the rest of the guards, with Lucifer's sword in his hands. He did not know what else to do or say. At first he thought of Fighting them of with the sword, but then, he knew how desperate and brutal Felix might be, coupled with Victoria and the palace guards who where one of the strongest vampires in the Eastern part of hell.

He was just a regular vampire with Lucifer's sword in his hands, to him it made no difference, he'd  still get killed if he tried to rebel... But perhaps he coul get a chance at redemption if he opened up.

What if he just told them that Lucifer is alive and Lucifer sent him to come get the sword, he knew that it might sound crazy but he had proof. He remembered the warning he got before being sent as a spy, that one stab on the concussion with the white oak still and he would be all ashes.

But what if he does not turn into ashes, atleast that sounded impossible compared to the reality in front of him which was the fact that Felix and the rest of the vampires would devour him if he does not comply. Lucifer's treat against his life might be fake after all.

A resounding slap on Klaus's face brought him back from his deep thought, he had been seeing Felix's mouth move in a serious questioning way, but he could not hear a word because he was lost in his own thoughts.

Klaus held his right ear where the slap had landed upon for a few minutes as the only sound he could hear for those minutes was a steady beep. The slap had made him fall on the floor and he lost the sword to one of the guard who was quick to pick it up a d give it to Felix before Klaus could know what was happening.

Felix relaxed as he waited for Klaus to regain him self, and when he was sure that Klaus was ready to head, he repeated his question.

"Who sent you?, You see I've always suspected that you where working for someone else, my sister suspected that first, when you told us where the sword was. But I was so eager to find the sword that I had to wait until I found it, before I thought about it. We have a war to fight and we need trusted men. You where trying to bring yourself close to us so we decided to just give you one test to see if you where what the shot to be promoted to be something greater. But here you are - you failed in just one test." Felix stated, making a mockery of a face with pity.

"So I ask for the last time, who sent you?" He added.

Klaus shook in fear. As he knelt down on the floor. "Forgive me please, I promise to tell you everything you need to know. Just promise to spare my life." 

Lucifer stood up from the sofa where he sat, watching the events that where unfolding. He did not know what to do next, he did not want Klaus to die but at the same time, he did not also want the news of his resurrection to be released yet, if so, Felix would be prepared for what was coming to him. And he did not want that to happen.

"Okay then. I give you my word. If you tell me who sent you, I will spare your life " dmFekix stated.

Klaus sighed in relief. "Thank you, thank you so much I will tell you who sent me, I was sent to spy on you by Luci...."
