I feel a heavy weight on my shoulder and Cristen seems to have fallen asleep in the couch with me, Lilith and Lizzy must've went upstairs, Axothul is asleep in the chair and Redrin is asleep out in the front yard. I gently move Cristen to avoid the waking her and stand up and walk outside. It's the dead of night, no sound, no birds, just utter silence. I pul out my pocket watch and the time shows 1am. "Sigh... it's been a week now and still nothing back from Sihlus... I'm starting to worry" I said. Just then I hear a branch snap and I turn around. To my surprise it's just a small rabbit. I've been really on edge lately, it's been a week without any problems so I guess I've just been too tense to be able to relax. Then I noticed something strange about the rabbit, it's got a black pattern on its fur, similar to the pattern Sihlus gives to things he latches onto sometimes. The rabbit hops towards me and then speaks. "Your friend will be at the town in a little bit, I suggest you have everything ready to go, you won't be back here anytime soon, and please take this small fragment of me to return when you arrive at your destination" Said a voice. The black substance shifted off the rabbit and moved onto me. I went inside and woke everyone up. We packed up important valuables of Cristen's and headed back into the town to wait for my friend. I check my watch again... the time by then was 2:50am. Then a strange contraption rolled up pulling a few carriages. A large door opens up and a man in a vest, white shirt, black pants, brown shoes, orange beard, orange hair and slightly heavy set comes out. "Hi" Taylor said. "Hey..." I said. Then a woman gets out. Her body is strangely similar in size and shape to Lizzy's maybe a bit smaller but yet she has no horns, tail or wings, yet I can tell she isn't human. She's got long purple hair and purple eyes. "Who's your friend?" I asked. "Don't you remember me? It's Lucillia" She said. "Well, we should probably start loading everything up, I'll explain what this thing is once we get back to my place, but I call it a car! It's a wonderful new invention that'll be sure to revolutionize travel!" Taylor said. People came outside despite the late hours and observed the machine. No surprise they did though, as it was rather loud. Then Roscoe jumped out from one of the passenger carriages and ran up to me. "Hi buddy!" I kneel down and pet him on the head. "Good to see your back" I noticed the people who owned the bakery standing not too far away nearby. I shot them a glare. They flinched and proceeded to walk away in fear... since they knew what was good for them. Then an old lady walks up to me, she's short and has yellowish grey hair and blue eyes. "Are you really going away?" She asked. "Yes, but there will be the hunters and other brave people here to protect you, you'll be safe Ms. Anabeth" I said. "You've always been a kid young man, we'll miss you" She said. Then Redrin steps forth. "I wish to stay here, I've come to adore the residents of this town, despite their distrust in me, my place will always be here in small towns like this one" Redrin said. Then Anabeth walks up and adjusts her glasses. "Wait... you're the demon my son talked about... he moved away recently, but he did mention how you helped saved a little boy in a town, but, the story says you were killed... how did you survive?" She asked. Redrin holds his hands together for a moment. "I was tainted by the blood of great ones... without the help of Axothul... great one blood would've tainted my mind... the little boy I protected was my best friend, but the truth is far more grim than that" Redrin said. Anabeth looked sympathetic for a moment. "Then I'll not make you repeat the story, I believe you, I can see the color of people's heart, and yours is a solid gold, your honest and kind, you've no reason to feel sorry" she said. "Well, I suppose we should get going, we'll be on the road for a while" Taylor said. "Right, luggage in the back carriage and the rest of us in the middle carriage, then let's be off" I said. "Oh and Gavan?" Taylor said. "Yeah what's up?" I reply. "Good to be with you again, I missed hanging out with ya" Taylor said. I smiled and nodded. "Likewise buddy" suddenly Logan asks about joining in and he comes with us, turns out him and I have developed quite the friendship as of lately too, without any delay we departed at 3:35am and headed to a new place... a big city... with a port and everything... Ettenburrow. I doze off after about 40 minutes and begin dreaming. I'm in a grassy field but I'm with my mom and dad. "Mom... dad..." I said. "Hey bud, look at you, grow up quite a bit haven't you?" Keith said. "He definitely has your facial features but he has my beautiful hair doesn't he?" Andrea said. I rush to them and hold them. Then both pat me on the head. "We're sorry things couldn't be as perfect as you wanted them to be" Keith said. "But we love you even if we're not around, no matter what we'll always love you, come heaven or hell, you'll still be our child of dawn... you have a special gift... unlike any other" Andrea said. "And we want to make sure you always use that gift for good, to protect those you love" Keith said. They both look at me. They then hold up my hand. "Call out these words when facing creatures of the night or unholy creatures of evil, Let the radiance burn away the dark, Dawn shall pierce thy soul" then I woke up. I'm against Cristen's chest but I feel a slight warmth in my hands, something odd to feel suddenly out of the blue... "yawn... how long was I asleep?" I ask. "About 4 hours, you sleep like a baby" Cristen said. "Hey, you think we're almost there?" Lilith asked. "Not yet, it's a big city, and we did have to wait a while for Roscoe and Sihlus to reach the city" Lizzy said. "Yeah but we're in a car, this thing might cut the time down by quite a lot" Logan said. Lizzy looks at me smiles. She cuddles next to me and closes her eyes. "I'm gonna rest for a little, let me know when we arrive" Lizzy said. The carriage slows down and stops moving and we all get out for a moment at this point. "Everyone take a moment to move around, just two more hours to go, then we'll be at Ettenburrow, despite the name it's the largest city around in Europe, it also has the largest port, also I hope I'm not boring everyone with details" Taylor said. "You're fine bud, by the way, I've been meaning to ask, what's with Lucillia, where's her horns and tail?" I asked. "Huh?" She tilted her head. "What do you mean?" Taylor said. They both looked at me in confusion for a moment. "Her demonic features you dolt, I know she's a demon, we went to school together for gods sake!" I yell. "Ah, she usually hides them, sorry it took me a moment to process that question" Taylor said. "Sigh... yeah... I figured that out... anyway, why does she hide them?" I ask. "Well, demons aren't commonplace in Ettenburrow so she feels uneasy being seen as one, so she masks her horns and tail in public" Taylor said. Suddenly she grows out her horns and tail. Her horns are slightly curved like Lizzy's but more pronounced and her tail is slightly larger in width. "Ah, her features are definitely more on the pronounced side aren't they, didn't think there tails could get that fat" I said. SLAP! "OW! What the hell!" I yell. Lilith is standing behind me with her arms crossed. "Call a succubus' tail fat again and I'll clock you over the head next time" She said. "Alright jeez, did you have to slap me in the ass so damn hard you little shit!" I yell. "Little shit?! You wanna start calling me names? You may be MY master but I'll still kick your ass!" She yells. "You wanna find out!" I yell. Then two shadows tower over us. Lizzy and Cristen are standing there agitated by the yelling. "Umm... we mean... wanna find out how much we care for each other" Lilith and I hug. Lizzy and Cristen both hug us and we narrowly avoid getting hurled into the nearby lake by them. "So, let me get this straight, you're in love with three succubi?" Taylor asked. "Yeah, that's right" I said. Suddenly we hear moving inside the carriage with the luggage. The door opens... we stand alert... then... Ina stumbles out. "Ouchie... hi!" She said. "Ina! You were supposed to stay at the town where it was safe" I said. "But I wanna be with papa and mamas" She said. "Huh?!" Is she talking about me and the girls. "Wait, you realize I'm not your father right?" I said. "Yeah, but you can be, you and your pretty wives, they'll be like mamas to me!" She said. She then looks to the ground. "I have nobody left to go to... I'm alone and you saved my life, I want someone who can protect me to be my father and you have a kind heart" She looks at me. "Please" She pleaded. I look at the girls for a minute and they seemed to be looking at me with a expression of "please say yes" maybe since they're unable to have kids they want me to say yes so they can be mothers to some degree. "If I say yes will you promise to behave?" I said. "I promise, I'll be really good I promise" Ina said. "Alright, then from here on out you can call me your dad, Lizzy, Cristen and Lilith are your mothers, okay?" I said. Ina walks over and hugs me. I'm taken for words for a minute because she's just a human... a little girl with no family left that she knows of... but know we are her parents, so the duty of protecting her falls upon us. "Alrighty, everyone ready to get back on the road, few more hours and we'll be at Ettenburrow" Taylor said. We all got back into the carriage and Taylor began driving again. A few more hours passed and we pulled into the City of Ettenburrow, people lined the streets, carriages everywhere, shops, restaurants etc were abundant. One thing struck me as particularly strange though, near the entrance to the city was an old dilapidated castle, two looming towers adjacent to a central Castle along a shoreline just a couple hours away seemingly. Once we arrived at Taylor's I figured I'd ask about it. "Hey Taylor, I figured I'd ask... but what's with the old Castle?" I asked. "Ah... the castle near the shoreline... not sure... been there since I came here, ghastly stories of a man who mourns his lost loved one there... but those are ghost stories... that place is abandoned, old and decrepit though, we can stop by tomorrow if your curious though" He said. "I'm good" I reply. The girls are over talking with Lucillia. "Hey Lucillia, if you're a demon like us how come you dress in such fancy clothes, show some skin and express yourself a little, doesn't that clothing get stuffy?" Lizzy said. "Yes but Taylor would rather have me blend in than draw attention, besides we aren't the best with that kind of style" Lucillia said. "Taylor do you have a sowing room?" I asked. "Yes, why?" He said. I snap my fingers and Lizzy, Lilith and Cristen all stand at attention. "Lilith and Lizzy, go make an outfit for Lucillia that's attractive for her yet still elegant and dress like, make sure it's to HER liking" I commanded. "Of course" they both replied. They both hurried off with Lucillia and Taylor looks at me for a second. "Are you sure about this, I mean, what if people think the wrong thing about her?" Taylor said. "They'll get used to it, you're famous here right? Let her beauty show, those two will help the best that they can, not sure if that's your kinda thing but you can make that call once you see the results" I said. For the time being I go outside and take in the fresh air. I look down at a cat that walked up to me. It's jet black with gold orange eyes. "Well, aren't you a handsome devil" I said. I kneel down and pet the cat. The cat puts and rolls on its back. "Black cats are the best if you ask me... to hell with what people say about them" I said. The cat gets up and then runs off. I stand up and look up. Looks like it might storm... I kinda miss my home already... that little town is what I called home for most of my youth. Suddenly I hear yelling. I turn the corner and a girl is being assaulted by three young men. "Hmph... not my problem..." I said. However... what I overheard next... made it my problem. "You owe us bitch! Pay up! Otherwise that pretty body of yours is gonna be payment!" Said one of the men. I put my hand on his shoulder. "Huh?" He turns his head to me. "Is there a problem?" I said. He turns and stabs me. I look at him. "I pity you humans, you and your foolish half minded reactions" I said. I grab his wrist and... SNAP! Completely crush it and break it. He reels back in pain. Screaming as his wrist is snapped completely and bone shards are poking through his skin. "Fuck! What the hell?! What's your deal?!" He screams. I then stomp on his leg. CRUNCH! I break his ankle next. The other three watch in horror and the woman is frozen in fear. "AAAAAH!" He screams. "You were gonna do a lot worse to her... so man up you little pussy, now stand your ass up" I said. I move my foot and his ankle is shattered. He leans against the wall. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, just let me go man, I didn't want this I'm begging you" He begged. "Then you shouldn't have threatened to rape a woman when there was clearly signs of fear and terror in her eyes..." I said. SWISH! A thin line forms down the middle of him and he splits in half. My eyes are a dark red... there not glowing like usual, this is the effect of demon blood in full effect, heightened abilities, the ability to strike without moving an inch and the power to inflict sheer terror in my victims. "Run!" Said the other three. They try to run but thin red wire snags their necks... next thing there are small red lines forming around the bases of there neck. Thud! they fall and their heads roll. The woman looks at me in fear. "You're a vampire... but your eyes... you drank a demons blood didn't you?" She said. She's has muscular figure, a D bust, short brown hair, brown eyes and tan skin. "How'd you guess?" I asked. "I know what a creature of the night looks like... and I know what a blood bond looks like... but your case is different... you have the eyes of a killer... but your heart isn't that of one is it?" She said. She stands up and brushes herself off. Her outfit is a pair of pants, a top with frilled sleeves, a coat and a pair of glasses. "The name is Evelyn Rosalin, I'm a hunter, I'm with special class threats, but my innocence was a facade, I was planning to arrest those idiots, seeing as you did my job for me... rather sloppily however I'll be speaking with the commissioner and then get this mess sorted out, we'll be stopping by to speak with you, and I suppose that gun you carry is from Edward?" She said. My eyes return to normal and I'm caught off guard. "Y-yeah... how'd you know?" I asked. "Edward is a part of the Special Threats Hunters, he's a werewolf with a weapon that mutates with him, as for me, my arms and legs are metal and steam powered, meaning I generate enough force to destroy a brick wall, but I maintain a sleek design to keep low profile" She said. "So there are more then?" I asked. "Yes, Laurence, Gilligan, Herald, and Orlan then there's the Commissioner, here there are plenty of hunters, but next time, mind who's business you mess with, we needed those idiots alive" Evelyn said. With that said she wraps up there corpses and throws them on a carriage and leaves. Taylor came outside and asked what the noise was. I told him it was some alley cats. But we went inside and I sat down. "Sigh... hey Taylor, are the girls done yet?" I asked. "Not yet, they've been a while, should we go check?" He asked. "Maybe we should" I said. We get up and go check on them. I open the door. "Hey, you girls have taken a while what's the hold up?" I said. We walked in just as they were finishing actually, Lucillia is in a dark purple dress, her hips are visible, her legs are still covered, her chest is visible, her arms are covered, her stomach is exposed and her back is exposed. It has a gothic and seductive look to it and has Taylor speechless. "Well... how do I look?" Lucillia said. Taylor turns red for a minute and his nose bleeds. "Ahem... Taylor?" I said. "Huh? what? Oh right..." he walks up to her and smiles. "You look beautiful..." he said. Lucillia then smiles. He then smacks her ass. "Certainly in all the right places" He said. She lets out a light moan. "Ah Taylor!" We all look at Taylor for a moment. "When did you become weird Taylor?" I said. "Weird?!" He said. "Hahaha... I'm just messing with ya, turns out we still have some things in common" I said
