Lucifer barely turned to look over his shoulder at her. A mere glance cast her way, very briefly, as he let his lips curl at the corners into the smallest hint of a smirk, a grin, before he shook his head, his gaze refocused back outwards. “Perhaps in some cases,” he mused. “But not this. This staining pollution could never be deemed beautiful, in comparison to what it had been before. Or are you trying to tell me that the world is better now than it was in the Beginning?” 

Cara gave the driver side door of her truck a swift kick before unlocking it and tugging it open. As she loaded her duffel bag into the back, she felt the hair on the back of her neck stand on end, and she spun around. Fingers twitching with the need to pull one of her weapons, she called out, “Who’s out there? You better show yourself - now.”

It was bad luck, really.

Had the girl tried to pickpocket anyone else, she probably would’ve gotten away with it. But Thomas wasn’t just anyone. His wolf could smell her, could sense her movements, and he grabbed her hand right as it was about to reach into his coat pocket. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” he warned.

Lilith hadn’t survived what she had to be spoken to by some errant brat. Because as far as the demon was concerned, that’s all she was. She felt the powers of Hell itself stirring within her as she met the gaze of the woman, and while she could sense there was something off about this person, Lilith couldn’t quite place her finger on it. 

“Arrogant, aren’t you? Perhaps you don’t realize who you’re speaking to, little girl.” 

It was an usually busy night at the hospital ---- they were a small town after all.  Meredith was pretty much run off her feet but she was doing her best to keep her head above water (easier said than done when the ER was backed up, and some were getting testy).

Finally, she had to tap out.  Just for a moment.  She desperately needed a drink.  She needed food too but that would have to wait.  As she reached for a bottle of water she noticed a young woman down the hallway.  Having not seen her in an exam room in the last few hours, she wondered if she was a visitor.  With her bottle in hand, she moved towards her.
