Catelin gulped rubbing her cold palms together. She stared at the glaring duo. She couldn't help but feel immense nervousness all over her body.

Lucifer was holding a sharp knife in his hand while glaring at Trevor who was looking at him with a calm yet amused face.

"Shall we stop with acting now Lucifer?" Trevor said taking a bite of the steak from his plate while Lucifer chuckled.

"Bark Doc why are you here. I mean it's fine if your here for a steak after all dogs love meat." Lucifer said taking a sip of a wine making Catelin look at him in pure shock.

Lucifer and drinking wine. She had never seen him even look at wine before. It was hard for her to watch him drink the bitter thing without doing anything.

Trevors calm expressions changed into dark ones as he felt utterly disrespected by the way Lucifer addressed him. Letting the utensils fell on the table he glared at the smirking guy.

"Who are you. Where did you hide Lucifer." Lucifer let out a small laugh.

"I didn't know your blind too. I am here right in front of your eyes." This time Trevor chuckled tensing Catelin.

"You can fool people who can't see your cunning side Lucifer but not me. You can fool this girl. You can use her love. You can try to make her believe your acting but not me. Just stop acting like you're sick when your not."

Hearing Trevor's words Lucifer slammed his palms on the table standing up from his seat. Catelin was about to go towards Lucifer to calm him but Trevor grabbed her wrist.

Lucifer glared at his hand which was holding Catelin's wrist. Trevor noticed it and with a slight smirk, he stood from his seat as well.

"Leave her." Lucifer seethed out but his eyes didn't move away from Trevor's hand.

"Why does it matter to you. Your just a kid aren't you." Trevor questioned throwing Catelin a look 'just endure a bit' which she replied with a nod.

"I said leave her hand." Trevor pulled her closer leaving an appropriate space between them making Lucifer angrier.

"I SAID FUCKING LEAVE HER." Catelin gasped out in horror when Lucifer kicked the giant table making it roughly slide away.

He stalked towards Trevor who left Catelin's hand and moved away from her as he ready himself for the blow. Lucifer's punch was nowhere a kid one.

It was manly. A muscular bodybuilder one that trembled his jaw badly. Trevor let out a huge growl before punching Lucifer back.

Both of them were giant hulks that were busy killing each other. Catelin had no idea what to do. She could see how much raged up Lucifer was and how much blinded Trevor had gone.

Trevor didn't like the disrespect and it was almost like he forgot that Lucifer is his patient till he said. "Yes punch me more show this girl that all this time you were just faking everything."

This stopped Lucifer. Trevor coughed wiping his bloodied cheek while Lucifer lips were burst out too. Lucifer stayed on his feet frozen when Trevor said those words.

"Show her that all the trust she gave you was just to use her for your selfish benefits. Show her that all the time and care she gave you all these years were just a waste nothing else. Go ahead kill me."

Trevor spat on his face glaring at him. Lucifer took a step back staring at him not knowing what to do or say anymore. He was right. His actions were indeed proving that his kid side was never a truth.

He was just a persona he used to hide his brutal reality. Lucifer turned his head towards Catelin who looked at him sadness all over her gaze.

He saw something. Something in her eyes but couldn't understand what. It was almost like she was looking at him with a sad loving gaze. But how could it be possible? She just loves him as a child nothing else.

Suddenly another pain shot up in his head making him stumble back. Catelin tried to help him but Trevor held his hand up shaking his head.

He walked towards Lucifer but suddenly Lucifer let out a huge pained growl making Catelin gasp out in concern.

"Lucifer listen to me. Lucifer look at me." Catelin clutched her dress to stop herself from jumping and embracing the guy in pain.

Trevor spoke as he approached Lucifer who held his head and suddenly fell on his knees. Trevor kept on saying things that indeed helped and he looked up only for Trevor to get shocked.

His eyes. They were so different. They were full of pain. Begging for help. Even though they were bloodshot but he didn't miss the sadness in them. Even the colour of his orbs had lightened a bit. They were still hazel but a bit lighter than what he saw a few minutes ago.

"H-help m-m-me" with that his eyes rolled back and he was about to fell on the floor but Trevor held his bulky body by wrapping his arm around his shoulders.

Catelin also ran towards him and helped Trevor to make him lay down on the couch present in the hallway. They both stared at the passed out guy. Catelin took a seat beside him and caressed his hair.

"I told you Doctor you coming here will impact his sanity even more." Trevor sighed sitting on the sofa in front of Catelin still keeping his eyes on Lucifer.

"You don't understand Catelin. There is something I needed to confirm before I could start planning my treatment. I thought that I can help him but now I don't know." Catelin looked at him not knowing what to say.

"What do you mean." Trevor sighed rubbing his face with his palms.

"His kid side is too weak. His aggressive side is too damn strong and his real side. The real Lucifer is weaker than the kid side. I am not sure yet. I need his blood to run few more tests. But I can tell you this Catelin. His aggressive side is too damn hard to control. But there is a remote to control that side."

Catelin stared at him and he sighed heavily. "You. Your that remote Catelin. His aggressive side even after all the anger and rage in him doesn't want to do anything that could hurt you. Which means only you can help him."
