Cecil Shot AU

"I'm glad that you're going to be okay Cecilu." Moyo said softly as she held the hand of her beloved Cecilu.

"Thank you very much Cecil. I owe you my life." Hotaru was bowing to the girl already despite her being unconscious still.

"I promise I'll serve you for the rest of my life until this debt has been repaid. And I don't think it will ever be truly repaid, but I shall gladly serve you forever." Hotaru said and Moyo looked at her with interest now.

"Oh? Going to serve our little Cecilu?" Moyo asked with a strange glint in her eye that Hotaru hadn't noticed since she was still bowed.

"Yes. She pushed me down out of harms way. She took those bullets for me. I should be the one in the bed or in a casket and I would have been if not for her. I owe her my life and I shall serve her for the rest of my life until I repay that debt, although I know that I likely never will." Hotaru said and there were tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall right now. She couldn't afford to break down and distract anyone from Cecil, after all Cecil was the one still in danger of dying...and oh god why had she thought of that? Thought of the girl not making it and instead dying before she was ever able to wake up or move around again? Her mind was turning against her, her once so highly prized intellect was twisting and corrupting her and doing more harm to her than good at the moment.

"So the rookie who hated her so much before will now serve Cecilu, the future queen of Hell, like a faithful dog serves it's master? I love irony." Moyo said smirking slightly and causing Hotaru's head to snap up as she scowled and glared death at Moyo.

"What did you just call Cecil-sama?!" Hotaru demanded and making Moyo smirk as, with a brief flash of her eyes, she froze the angered Hotaru in place so that she couldn't move but was still able to see and hear everything going on around her.

"You took more offense to me calling Cecilu the future Queen of Hell than you did me calling you a dog. Promising. Very promising. Tell me something little firefly...you don't know who exactly I am do you? Who exactly Cecil is and will be?" Moyo asked although she already knew the answer. There was no way physically or magically possible that Hotaru had already known who Moyo was and who Cecil really was. If she had then she certainly wouldn't have been able to keep it quiet from anyone else.

"Of course you don't. We wouldn't be having this conversation if you did." Moyo said after a moment, as if she were actually waiting for the girl to answer, which of course Hotaru couldn't do at the moment.

"You see...I'm sure Cecilu's father told you about it right? How when she was ten years old...she had died." The slight widening of Hotaru's eyes was all the confirmation that Moyo had needed in answer.

"Well when she was brought back by strong magic it left a...shall we say a tear in between this world and the after life. Not enough for all sorts of nasties to come out, or even good ones to come out. No it was sealed back up almost immediately but...that brief time she was dead...Cecilu caught a certain someone's attention." Moyo was now circling Hotaru, time frozen outside of this room as Cecil's heart monitor continued to steadily beep.

"You see...Cecil has such a pure heart, one that's unattainable by earthly means. And such wonderfully strong potent magic. Have you ever wondered why she was able to unlock several different types of magic? Because she is one of the blessed. The one born every hundred or so years, give or take a few decades, with such strong multi-powered magic that it catches the eyes of those not of this world. When she was born...Cecil caught the eye of Lucifer the fallen angel." Moyo said still circling Hotaru as if the dark haired woman was her prey, and in this moment she was. Hotaru was the prey and Moyo was the ultimate predator.

"When she was sent to Lucifer's domain for that brief time, Lucifer laid a claim on her. She was to be the Queen of Hell once she reached of age however someone broke the barrier of life and death and brought Cecil back to life. The person stole the Queen of Hell from Lucifers arms. Lucifer was furious at this of course. How dare some uppity mortal steal the future Queen? So when Cecil was brought back and the tear was made...Lucifer descended upon this world in a mortal shell of their own. Despite what many religious texts believe, Lucifer is neither male nor female. To Lucifer, gender is optional. To better understand the future Queen though...Lucier became a mortal woman." Here Moyo noticed as Hotaru's eyes widened and then narrowed at her.

"Yes...you are correct Natsuna Hotaru. I am Lucifer in human form and Cecil...she will be my Queen. When the time is right we shall join in body and soul and become one. However...despite my powers I can not be everywhere all of the time, although I can certainly make it seem like I am. So to hear that you are willing to sell yourself, to become nothing more than a dog for Cecil. Well now that I am very much interested in." Moyo said smirking as she stayed in place in front of Hotaru and stared the girl in the eyes.

"Tell me Hotaru how deep does this new devotion to pay back your debt to Cecil go? Will you truly do anything to protect her? Follow her every order? Give in to her every request? Sell yourself to the devil so to be her sword, her shield, her loyal devoted guard for the rest of eternity? To not even be considered human anymore and instead be a beast on a leash for her? Be whatever she requires you to be? I'll unfreeze your mouth so you can answer me." Moyo said and then, with a dismissive wave of her hand, she unfroze Hotaru's mouth and jaw. Hotaru's response didn't even take a second to formulate. After all, she had swore to protect and serve the girl with her very life from now on so this...to be able to better do so?

"Yes."

"Do you want to make a deal with Lucifer in order to completely become Cecil's tool? To be nothing more than an etension of her, her sword and shield against all things?"

"Yes."
