Loop (Sequel to 'The New Normal')

,,I mean, I meant what I said. Except for the hair thing, though I like it more when it's curly!" At that comment, the devil smiled proudly.

,,A friend told me to tell the person, who I was mad at, what I was thinking about them. And that was you.

Mom was sad all the time, and I think you were the reason. So I was mad at you.

But I didn't think about what you were going through. I'm still a bit mad, but I want to know what happened...I'm not a little kid anymore, you know...I see when someone is hiding something or is in denial. It happens to the best of us." She smiled knowingly.

,,I'm impressed, child. I knew you were smart, but this is truly impressive!"

,,My mom is a cop, one of my friends is a therapist and my best friend is demon, duh. Of course I'm smart." Trixie shook her head.

Almost instantly Lucifer's eyes widened. ,,You...you know?"

,,What? That Maze is a demon? I knew since she showed me her face at Halloween a few years ago."

,,She did what?!"

,,Yeah, she said it just was a costume, but I know it was real! Her real face is sooo cool! Do you have one too?"

,,She showed you her demon face and you weren't scared?" She shook her head. ,,What would make you think I had another face as well? Although you are right, I do have many faces." The devil grinned naughtily.

Trixie just rolled her eyes. ,,You are the Devil, you must have one!"

,,You knew the whole time and you never were scared of us?"

,,Yes, I mean...it was pretty obvious. You don't know how to react to certain situations, you died in front of me and my mom and you had that cool coin, which you let hover over your hand. Where is it anyway? I haven't seen you with it in years..."

,,It was a Pentecostal coin. I used it to get out of hell when Malcom shot me. To be honest, I miss it as well, it was quite fun...but don't avoid my question. You must be scared of us, or at least of me..."

Trixie went on. ,,Of course not, dummy! You would never hurt anyone who doesn't deserve it. And you are funny!

I hate what people write and say about you on the internet. It's not fair, they don't even know you..."

Suddenly the Lightbringer felt that warmth again. It meant everything to him, that she still wanted to see him.

,,It's nothing new, little urchin. I had to deal with all these accusations and stories about me for millennia.

But now everything will change to the better." 'Hopefully' he added in his mind.

,,Why? Because mommy and you are back together now?"

My nodded. ,,Yes, that, and the fact that I am the new God. Dad retired a few days ago and left us to find a new 'Leader'." The child's eyes went big.

,,Since none of our siblings wanted me or Michael to have the throne, there was a war. Long story short, your mother and I died-" If Trixie's eyeballs could fall out, they would have by now.
