My eyes widened as Preston let go of Mitch's hand and fell into the pool of black below and his painful screehes echoed across the Nether Realm drawing attention to other demons.

Tears filled my eyes as he fell silent and I lowered my head sadly.....He just died.....Right in front of me...

~Timeskip by year~

The men of two lovers can tell, their loved one is dead...To no avail..

Jerome pounded his fist against the soft grass frustrated how we lost one of our loved ones.

He was the one who was the one who showed how upset h was the most for leaving the Nether without Preston but we would have died if we tried to stay...

"MITCH YOU LET HIM FALL!!!" He blamed Mitch all of a sudden causing an awkward silence to spread between us three.

"HE LET GO JEROME IT WASNT MY FAULT I ALREADY TOLD YOU!!!" Mitch screamed but Jerome just snarled an whipped his head the other way.

"Jerome.... It wasnt his fault.." I said quiely causing Jerome to glare daggers at me.

"Well then was it Prestons fault!?!? The guy who died because Mitch let go?!?" Jerome screamed. I looked at Mitch and I could tell he was close to tears. I elbowed Jerome and he grunted but silenced when he saw Mitch teary eyed.

"Mitch....Im sorry...." Jerome whimpered walking towards Mitch.

Mitch pushed Jerome away still upset ands was about say something until a blur of black and red flew out of the portal. (#THEBLUR!!XD)

"What was THAT?!?" Jerome screamed afraid.

Mitch shrugged his shoulders and gazed where it just dashed by...Must have been a demon.... I jogged towards where the demon crashed passing pieces of burning timber and scorch marks on the ground..

"Rob...I don't think that's a good idea.." Mitch whispered following me quietly.

"I just need to check it out..." I replied slowing down so I was next to Mitch

"Maybe its that demon that tried attacking me.." Jerome said scared running to catch up to us.

"I doubt it since Preston....." I choked out getting teary eyed when I said his name.

"Since Preston scared her and she was a grey demon, not red and black.." I continued. Mitch and Jerome nodded solemnly upset about Preston not being with  us. A hiss silenced the forest giving it an eerie feeling.

"SSSSSRAAAACCCHHHHAAAAADDD NNNNIIIROOOHASSSAAA" It hissed sounding closer.

I whipped my head around in a panic....It sounded like it was everywhere..My heart thumped against my chest as footsteps echoecd everywhere.

"Who's there!!!" Mitch barked with a sudden burst of bravery.

There was a hiss but it quickly faded into a groan yet somehow still creepy....What was it.....

"HE SAID WHOS THERE?!?!?!!!" Jerome snarled sniffing the air.

I turned around feeling like I was being watched when I saw a pair of big, red, fiery eyes staring back at me through a clearing in the forest.

"Guys....Its right there...I think its injured.." I mumbled pointing at it.

Jerome stalked towards it on the left and Mitch took the right so I ran around I taking the back in case he tried escaping...

I looked a Mitch, then at Jerome and they not signaled it was good to go so I started walking towards the injured demon.. I saw a sizzling gash across his chest and he seemed familiar....Did I see him before?......

The demon turned its head around to stare at me eyes turning wide then he hissed again as the gash grew bigger.. Jerome and Mitch circled around him weapons at the ready but he was just laying there not caring...He was Neutral..

"He kinda looks like Preston..." Mitch implanted and I realized it was true.

"Mitch..." The demon groaned closing his eyes for a minute before opening them again...

Mitch's eyes widened and so did mine and Jerome's....... This was Preston.... I knelt down towards him gazing at him... His demon form.... I gazed amazed at his color pattern...He looked awesome...The pattern was like volcanic rock..

"Preston?" Jerome squeaked questioning.

"No its Bernard....Of course its me!" He squealed throwing his hands in the air but quickly put them back down again in pain.

"Stupid wither waters killing me.." He whimpered looking up at the sky in wonder..

"How long were you stuck in the Nether?" Jerome questioned.

"Umm...I woke up a couple minutes ago actually..searched the Nether for you then tripped on my tail and  fell into the portal by accident..heh heh" He chuckled at picturing himself tripping and falling into the over world..Clumsy Cactus..

"Get me the first aid.." Mitch demanded suddenly.

Jerome dashed off not hesitation for a moment and came back thirty seconds later with the first aid kit in his mouth.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Preston screamed as the gash widened.

Mitch pushed me out of the way and started working his miracle. He grabbed a bottle and gently poured it in his palm then started rubbing it

around Prestons gash. Preston screeched and writhed as it sizzled around the Wither liquid.

Jerome grabbed his shoulders forcing him to stop and Prestons eyes turned pure red becoming hostile but calmed down as soon as they turned red. Did I just see that? He alsmost attacked Jerome and Mitch....But h has it under control...He can handle it...I hope...

Preston screeched again longer than the last one as Mitch poured the whole bottle in the gash  Letting the acid and the Wither lava eat each other away around Preston's intestines very painfully.

His chest started moving rapidly then just stopped moving completely but he was still screeching...Demons didn't need oxygen?!?!

"IT HUUURRRRTTTTSSS!!!!!" He screamed making tears prick at my eyes. He was in pain....

"Almost done buddy...Come on Preston you'll make it.." Mitch encouraged.

"Its almost finished..." Jerome cooed trying calm him down.

"ITS EATING ME AWAY!!!!!!!" Preston screeched and I saw black liquid flow down his face...He was crying....

I watched helplessly for twenty minutes as the two liquids burning his flesh fought against each other until nothing was left of the liquid giving Mitch the chance to start bandaging.

Preston's eyes closed and I panicked because his chest wasn't moving but I remembered demons didn't need oxygen... I sighed in relief as a smile formed on Preston's face...He was dreaming...

I smiled at him taking in his features I missed dearly when we left him thinking he was dead..He said he just woke up but it was a year....He was searching for a year... Searching for us...

I kneeled down taking his hand in mine and started playing with his hair on his head not paying attention to Mitch and Jerome smirking at me.

"I love you still...I always have.." I whispered so only he could hear He shifted in his sleep cuddling into me like he used to making my heart melt.

I wrapped my arms underneath the adorable demon and picked him up bridal style walking in sync with Mitch and Jerome while Preston climbed onto me asleep.

He was too cute....I missed him...Now he's back...
