Brooke contemplated his offer. It was really pressing into her to do this, to get Ryder back but part of her knew it was a bad idea. "Okay, so let's just say that you get him down but he was already preparing on getting down here himself. Then what? Then I've just given up forever to you for no reason."

"Didn't you say yourself that there was no way that he was going to fall on his own? That he wasn't bad like you?" Lucian said. "And say that he does manage to get himself down here. What if it isn't for another hundred years. Will your children still be alive? You will be but can you really be a family without them?" He asked.

"They haven't aged in a long time. I died when I was 22, it's been 53 years, and they both look as if they are sixteen." Brooklyn was going to give him the facts. If she was going to make a deal, it needed to be a good one. She wasn't going to settle for anything less than a great deal.

"Alright, fine." Lucian said taking a step back. "If you want to risk it yourself go for it. But if he never shows up you will wish that you had taken the deal. And if you summon me at a later point in time I promise you that thirty years will no longer be on the table." He told her. "That is a today only deal."

"Right, I get that, Lucian." Brooke stood up now, her back leaning against the tree as well as one foot. She crossed her arms under her chest and tried to figure out what to do. "The risk of letting you do this and then him come down here and tell me he was about to get kicked out? What do I get then? I still have to lose my life in thirty years, and it doesn't even go back up to Heaven so that I can be resent down here."

"Once you are in hell you can come back up here." Lucian said. Of course it would be as a demon but hey, he thought that that was the fun part. "I did." He smiled at her.

Brooke didn't know what to say. "I'm not so sure that a demon lifestyle is for me." She really wanted Ryder back but wasn't sure that the time restriction was worth it. "And who's to say that if, when you come to take my soul, you won't go to Ryder and try to make a deal with him to bring me back?"

"Now that would be his decision to make now wouldn't it?" Lucian said. "If he wants to come to me and make a deal who am I to deny him?" He asked and then shook his head. "But I will make a promise to you that I will not seek him out to make a deal with him and you have my work on that." He told her. "And besides, I don't see why it would be such a bad thing to be a demon. The powers are pretty fun and it's not like you would have to snatch up souls. Many demons just stay out of the way and to themselves. Hell some of us even have families."

Brooklyn just stared at him. "Forty years and you stay away from Ryder when I die." Her eyes stay trained on him, not wanting to show that she would stand down. She ran a hand through her hair and kept a serious face. Would he be willing to move it up or no? Part of her figured he wouldn't be but she had to try.

"Forty huh?" Lucian asked with a little laugh. "Where did that come from. I thought I was being generous when I gave you thirty. That's tripple my usual rate." He said looking at her. If she was serious about giving him her soul he would probably go for it, considering how much her soul was worth in the long run but he didn't need to tell her that. He also didn't want her to figure out that no matter what, even if she went back up to heaven that when the time came her soul was his and one can not be in heaven without a soul. So if that was her plan, to extend it out to give her a chance to make it back to heaven that would not work. If she died of natural causes, which he didn't know if that would happen considering she was a fallen angel, or even unnaturally before the time of the deal was up he still got her soul upon death. There was also no guarantee or refund of the soul in question if Ryder were to die again before her time was up. He was promising to bring him back as of now no other terms of the contract have been decided thus making whatever happened to Ryder after he brought him back not his problem.

Brooklyn narrowed her eyes. "I know what a Fallen Angel is worth, as I said earlier. It wouldn't matter if you gave me 100 years, it would still be worth a lot. So you're lucky I'm not asking for that. But you will not harm my family, Ryder, anyone that I am close with. And if any of them die before our contract is up, you'll extend my years." Brooke walks closer to him, they were nearly nose to nose as she looked at him, danger played in her eyes.

"I will give you your forty years and I will promise not to harm or even touch your family in anyway what so ever during that time but I will not make exceptions and extend your time because of occurrences that are completely out of my control. Especially if it were one of your children that were to die before your time is up. They have no part at all in this negotiation." Lucian told her firmly.

"If Ryder dies, you'll extend it. Or we have no deal." Brooke's voice was also form as she laid the ground work. "You'll still get my soul and people will still look at you like you're some fantastic individual that does no wrong because you persuaded a Fallen Angel." Her voice was cold. She didn't care that they were nearly nose to nose as she needed this to work.

"Five years and that is it. No more negotiations." Lucian said as he looked at her firmly. "If Ryder, and only Ryder dies with more than a year left in your time left I will extend it five years."
