LOVE WAS SOMETHING THAT Lucas never experienced as a child. Truth be told Lucifer has never claimed he loved his son until last year. But that wasn't the type of love Lucas cared for. But the love Hope gave him, was amazing. And it felt good. It felt right.
But it wasn't right, for many reasons. Reasons Hope was unaware of.
The Nephilim had to babysit his old friend, Sebastian. It was neither of their choices, but Alaric insisted that Lucas should be the one to put him up to the test since he knew Sebastian well and was immortal.
"I'm not sure why Ric put me up to this, but let's get to it." Lucas sighed. "All the students get along here, I guess, but this school has all three factions. And it is very weird and um well weird."
Sebastian chuckled. " 'Tis not three factions. 'Tis four. Tell me, what is the son of Lucifer doing in a school of supernatural teenagers."
"Father sent me on a Homicidal mission to kill the Tribrid," Lucas replied
they continue to walk and talk into Lucas bumped into him someone he didn't expect to see so soon
"Hey!" Josie says
Lucas cleared his throat. "Hey, Jo. How's it going? What-What's up?"
Sebastian stood and watched the Nephilim become a stuttering awkward mess.
"The usual. Getting rid of magical evidence before my dad overreacts." Josie replied holding onto her bag.
"Oh, well—"
"Anyways, see you later." Josie interrupted before walking away quickly.
"Is this what they call, "Teen drama?", because if so, you're down bad," Sebastian states, rather seriously.
Lucas rolled his eyes. "I'm still new to this all—Hey." he smiles turning towards Hope.
Hope smiled. "Hey—Josie didn't leave because of me, right?"
"She definitely did," Lucas replied truthfully
Hope furrowed her brows.
"I lose access to my Grace if I tell the simplest of lies, so sorry." Lucas snorted
"It's okay, I get it."
"So you're moved in now?"
"yeah," Hope nodded before sighing. "Alyssa Chang generously gave me back 20% of my room. Plenty of space for the nine things I still own."
Lucas chuckled before notching Sebastian had been eyeing Hope down.
"Who is this douche eyeing me?"
"Hope, this is Sebastian, a very older friend. Looked after him when he was in diapers." Lucas explained with a chuckle. "Ric is having me test Sebastian here to see if he can stay at the school."
"Call if you need backup?"
Sebastian smirked. "I can assure you, I will be on my best behavior. After all, you heard the man, since diapers. He's got me under control."
From there the three split up, and Lucas began to get Sebastian ready for testing. Part one would be introducing him to the wolves, then the vampires, and then the witches. What could go wrong?
"Luc!" Jed smiled walking up to the Nephilim
"Hey, Jed." The Nephilim smiled in return
"Have you heard from Raf?" Jed questioned
Lucas shook his head. "Uh, he's staying with his dad for a bit. I think it'll be good for him."
Jed hummed before glancing at Sebastian who kept sending the wolf glares.
"Tell, uh, Captain Cheekbones he's got a weird staring problem," Jed says awkwardly looking between the two men in front of him.
Sebastian kept his hard glare
Jed let out an airy laugh before walking away.
"What the hell is your problem? Stop sending the students glares." Lucas huffed, as he smacked the back of his head.
Sebastian rolled his eyes. "You know, a little blonde birdie told me that Clarke almost killed Hope. She was powerless and running from her life, and you were—you were—you were searching for yourself?"
Lucas's jaw tensed up. "Sebastian my dear old friend, I'd warn you to shut up."
"And if I don't?"
The Nephilim's eyes turned gold, he then placed his hands on the side of the Vampires before sharing a memory. More of the vision that the sphinx showed him.
Sebastian pulled away gasping. "W-what the hell was that?"
"That is what I was searching for. A way to make sure I don't die anytime soon." Lucas replied coldly before walking away.
Behind followed a quiet Sebastian, but not before he played a round of dodgeball with the wolves. After that, the two now made their way towards the witches. And Lucas already had a horrible headache and he wasn't sure he wanted to deal with any of the vampires and witches at lunch.
"Now it's time for you to keep your composure around all three factions at once," Lucas informs the vampire as they walked down the stairs.
"Were you able to deal with that the first day?"
"My first day here, I saved your blonde witchy girlfriend. So yes, by then the witches and vampires were already wrapped around my finger." Lucas smirks. "Now, the wolves like you, now we've just got to see if the vampires here like you."
"Of course."
A loud shatter was heard, and the smell of blood was strong. Lucas's eyes fell on Alyssa who dropped a plate and had blood all over her fingers. He knew what she was trying to do, and he wanted to rip her apart that second.
"It slipped," Alyssa says
The vampires all began to hiss as they smelled the blood.
"Code red. Vamps, clear out. Now!" Dorian shouts running into the conversation
The vampires all made their way out and Lucas turned towards Jed and his pack. "Jed, calm your back down," he says.
Jed sighed. "Wolves, follow me."
Everyone was now out of the cafeteria, all but MG who seemed to have been struggling. Lucas seemed to have noticed but the Nephilim didn't care too much to help. He knew Sebastian had to be the one to gain MG's trust.
In a blink of an eye, MG used his vamp speed to try and get closer to the blood, but luckily Sebastian was faster and stopped him.
"Breathe, Milton, breathe!" Sebastian repeats trying to calm the teen down.
MG tried to fight out Sebastian's group. His fangs were out, and he craved the blood.
"Focus only on the sound of my voice," Sebastian says holding him back. "Breathe! Breathe. Breathe."
MG began to calm himself and he shuddered out a small cry.
"The urge will pass," Sebastian reassures before letting go of him slowly.
"I'm sorry," MG replies with a frown, still breathing heavily. "I'm sorry," he says glancing at Lucas right before running away.
Sebastian turned towards his friend. "The witch, she broke that plate on purpose."
"I'm well aware. We must not focus on that, come on. Now you've got to earn the witch's trust." Lucas sighs out.
And Lucas had many worries that the witches were going to fuck up Sebastian and the test.
