The Assassin

Chapter Seventeen

As soon as he finished talking, the guy that was at the guard’s place went out and showed himself. Angel widened his eyes as the others revealed themselves and surrounded them. Lucifer went in front of Angel and was now gripping on his dagger.

“Well well well, what do we have here? A beautiful female and a male who is going to a funeral? I am the leader of this group, my name is Kevin-” The guy commented and Angel chuckled, cutting him off.

Lucifer gave her a questioning look and so does everyone.

“See, I told you, you look like you’re going to a funeral.” Angel pointed out and Kevin growled.

"We are in danger right now and you're laughing?" Lucifer questioned but Angel shrugged.

"There could be a possible that we could die right now so why not make a joke about what you're wearing?" Angel stick her tongue out and Lucifer shook his head.

"You're really weird." He commented and Angel smiled.

"I've been told."

“How dare you interrupt me! I will show you what it means to die!” The leader shouted while charging towards Angel.

Lucifer pushed her aside and got out his dagger while striking Kevin by his neck. He then went to the others when they charged towards him. One of the guys managed to grab Angel and pointed a knife by her neck.

“Stay right where you are or she dies." He threatened and Lucifer was frozen. "Not so tough now aye?" 

He watches closely as Angel's eyes started filling with water. He Hated the sight of her being like that but he couldn't possibly attack him directly because it might put Angel's life in danger.

"Drop your weapon, NOW!" The guy instructed and Lucifer raised his hands as a surrender. "You smell good lady, I bet you're good in beds."

"Lucifer… help me…" Angel pleaded, tears were streaming down her face.

While Lucifer was slowly putting his dagger down, he figured out how Angel can escape from the guy. He did an eye motion to Angel, telling her to step on his feet. Angel understood this and when Lucifer gave the sign, he stepped on the man's foot as hard as she can, then going under him and grabbing his arm then twisting it behind his back. The same moves that Lucifer taught her.

Lucifer took this opportunity to throw his dagger towards the guy's throat. Another guy grabbed him from behind and he easily snapped his neck. He grabbed the guy's knife and killed the others. Although the leader stood up and was about to stab Angel, but Lucifer cut his head off, making some of his blood splattered on Angel's face.

The body fell down to the ground with a big thud. Lucifer immediately went to Angel to see if she was hurt. All of the sudden, Angel ran towards him and hugged him while crying on his chest. Lucifer was shocked by her sudden reaction but then he calmed down and slowly wrapped his arms around Angel.

"Don't worry, you're safe now." He softly whispered and Angel looked into his eyes.

"Please, I don't want to see another death before my eyes. Especially when I know that it's my friend killing them, you could have made them immobilized but please, I'm begging you, don't kill another person in front of me again." Angel pleaded and this made Lucifer’s eyes soften as he watched her cry.

"Okay, I promise not to kill anyone in front of you anymore. I'll be more… gentle next time." Lucifer said while wiping Angel's tears with his thumb.

To forget the incident, Lucifer suggested that they will have dinner in a restaurant. Angel agreed because she also wants to forget what just happened.

"So, how come you're free to go wherever you want? Don't the police or someone knows that your Troupe is a dangerous thugs?" Angel questioned as they looked at the Menu.

"The name 'Phantom Troupe' is very popular but no one really knows who the members were because they never came back alive to tell anyone." Lucifer replied and Angel slowly nodded.

"I see, I guess that's why you can wonder around everywhere whenever you like." Angel pointed out and Lucifer nodded.

"That's pretty much it." 

Soon, the waiter came to their table and kept staring at Angel. He has brown hair and black eyes and looked like he was in his 20's..

"May I take your order Ma'am?" He questioned Angel and ignored Lucifer.

"I am also here." Lucifer stated and the waiter just looked at him.

"I think I'll have Spaghetti." Angel suggested and the waiter wrote her order.

"That's one spaghetti..." He smiled at Angel then turned to Lucifer and gave him a funny look. "How about you?"

"I would prefer your head on the table." Lucifer threatened and Angel stepped on his feet while giving him a 'Are you serious' look.

"Sorry, but that's not on the Menu but guess what's on the Menu?" The waiter turned to Angel while giving her a smile.

"What?" Angel questioned.

"Me and you (Me-n-u)" The waiter replied and Lucifer slammed his hands on the table.

"Do you have the Manager, I want to file a complaint that the waiter here is flirting with my girlfriend." Lucifer warned and the waiter widened his eyes.

Not because of the complaint that Lucifer was talking about, but because Angel was his girlfriend. He thought that they were just friends so he bowed politely.

"I apologized if you think that I was flirting with you girlfriend, I guess I'm just friendly when it comes to girls." The waiter apologized before leaving.

After he left, Angel gave Lucifer a confuse face.

"Girlfriend? Since when did I become your girlfriend?" She questioned and Lucifer shifted on his seat and cleared his throat.

"I... I didn't like his attitude and the way he looks at you. That's the only reason why I said you were my girlfriend." Lucifer tried reasoning out and Angel nodded.

"I see..." She muttered.

'That was close, keep it together Lucifer!" Thought Lucifer.
