*I'm so sorry for the delay on this chapter. Please forgive me! And I hope you enjoy this! The picture is the Demons in their Other Form.*

It was nothing but a road. Dark and unknown to the pure, but a friend to the tainted. A passage way that began with blood and ended with Lucifer. It was easier to travel than the stairs. A road we could drive on...instead of walk. Proving the point that we need to fight to stay good when we can easily become evil. The road to Hell may be easy to take. But the destination that is known as Heaven is much much sweeter. There will always be a Hell as long as Heaven exist. There will always be a Heaven if Hell remains. The choice is yours to which you spend eternity in. Just remember...It's always a highway to Hell.

* Ky's P.O.V *

It snapped like a twig. It's funny how something so fragile is the only passage way from the brain to the rest of the body. The neck, the only thing that allows nerves and controls to travel through out every finger and every toe. So needed, so precious, and yet...so fragile. That was the 8th demon that I had killed today. Her body turning into chalk as it blew away in the wind. The grey pile of sand that was in my hand decreasing in seconds until it disappeared. They traveled in pairs or in groups, this time it was two females. Neither of them being my beloved Serena. I sighed, I've grown tired of this god forsaken game, this test. I want to find her, I need to know that she is safe. That she is well.

I just need her.

Despite my tiredness and frustration. I shoved my hands in my pockets...and kept walking. Knowing that just around the corner or hedge or whatever...Serena might be there waiting for me. I kept walking and not once did I think of stopping.

* Serena's P.O.V *

Hours felt like days. The encounters with demons were exhausting as the humidity of the forest wasn't helping either. I swallowed, moistening my somewhat dry throat as the bodies of 5 demons disappeared around me. 10, I have gone thru 10 of them and not one was Ky. I was beginning to think that this was some kind of sick joke. A thing to break me down and exhaust me with every hopeless moment when I didn't find him. I took a deep breath, trying to catch my breath and recollect myself.

No, this not a sick joke. Michael wouldn't do this to us. He wouldn't torture us. No...we are doing this for the sake of the world. We're doing this...for each other. I shook my head, snapping myself out of my thoughts as I had one goal and one goal only. To find Ky and find him I will. I turned, walking in the same direction I was before my encounter. Running my hands thru my hair as I continue to walk. The crunch of autumn leaves beneath my feet with every step I took.

This forest was irregular. The air was thin here and yet moist. The space between the trees was an odd shade of dark blue. The trees hard bark that almost looked like clay, except polished and was smooth. A dark brown clay. The forest floor was blanketed with a solid quilt of autumn leaves. Orange contrasting to the odd sky. Above the ground was a thick layer of fog, but it moved away from you every time you walked. Seeing it only in the far away tree line as it exist no where below you or around you. It was flat. Nothing but trees and the shadows of them were the only thing that existed. And a dark eery silence...is the only thing you hear. I could hear my own heart pounding and that's what I hated the most. The sound of being afraid. I hated this forest.

Keeeeeeha!

It whispered. The sound of the demon. I turned my head, feeling their eyes upon me as I heard the sound. The sound of death itself. This time it was two. Two large strong males. They came out of the tree line, almost looking like raptors by the way they moved. I growled at them and they dropped their jaws. Baring their fangs as the sound of Hell vibrated from their throats. Their bones began to crack, a sound so horrifying that I never wish to hear again. You could see their skeletons shifting within their skin. Their grey flesh stretching and coiling with every twisting bone. Their bodies were changing, they got bigger as their shadows began to tower over me. Making me step back to look into their eyes.

"Shit."

I muttered under my breath.

* Ky's P.O.V *

The crunch of my feet was the only thing I heard as I kept my eyes alert and my body ready. Making sure that no one was following me or ready to ambush me. Funny thing is...I wasn't paying attention if they were in front of me. I stopped as they stood there. Just staring. Their red eyes looking upon me  as if I was something strange. Tilting they heads at different times, at different directions as they thought of  what I could be. There were three, all female. All with the same black hair, the two on the end had short hair while the one in the middle had much longer hair. Her horns seemed more prominent than to the ones on either side of her. Then again maybe that's just me. They didn't question my appearance for long as the two females with short hair began to crack their bones. Their bodies contorting and twisting as they seemed to be changing. An image that disgusted me in seconds. The one in the middle just stood there, keeping her eyes on me as her two campions shift at her sides. Their bodies turned into two giant wolves. Their fur a grey ash as it was stained with dry blood. Their eyes a milky white as they had no pupils. Their teeth stumbled over one another in the mouth that was full with daggers. Forever stained with the color of blood.

I growled, my eyes burning crimson as they lowered their heads. Flattening their ears against themselves as they growled menacingly.

Well played Lucifer. Well played.

I rolled my head, cracking my neck as my fangs decided to finally make an appearance. My claws popping out of my fingers as I looked upon the demons. There shoulders moving as they stalked upon me. My main focus was upon the two wolves slowly moving towards me, their paws ruffling the leaves everywhere they stepped. But my eyes would wander to the female who stayed in her original form. She was watching me. Closely, carefully. A shade of crimson that was a bit different from the rest. I snapped my eyes from her gaze as I watched the two who approached me. I smirked, taunting them as I beckoned to challenge me.

"COME ON YOU HELL'S BITCH!" I roared at them and they growled. Lurching forward as all three attacked me head on.

* Narrator *

Serena ducked, missing his bite as she countered with a punch to the bottom of his jaw. Clamping his mouth shut as his teeth slammed together, making him whimper from the pain. Unfortunately she forgot about the other one as he clamped his teeth around her leg. Dragging her as he made her fall upon her back. His jaw right above her head as she peered into his white milky eyes.

The female kicked Ky in the jaw as her two campions circled around them. Allowing their friend to get back on her feet after Ky had made her fell. He groaned from the pain before they pounced upon him. One of the demons sank their teeth into Ky's shoulder. Making him roar a pain filled sound as he kicked the other demon away. Turning on the bitch who bit him as he wrapped his arms around its neck. It whimpered, growled, and snapped it's teeth in his hold. Trying to escape as it's friends tried to help it. They were too late, Ky had already began to squeeze. Cutting off the monsters air as he easily snapped its neck. The body falling limp with a thud as he threw it on the ground like trash. The still surviving demon wolf howled a pain filled scream.

They howled as Serena watched the two males. Already escaping the one that had pinned her on the ground. She growled, running towards them as they seemed distracted. But distracted by what? She didn't think to ask, she only acted. She leaped off the ground, her feet leaving the leaves as she landed on one of the demons' back. The wolf kicking and bucking to get her off as the other tried to take a bite out of her. She punched the wolf's muzzle, hard. Hearing him whimper as he retreated, putting attention back to the wolf she was riding as he continued to try and get her off. She grabbed him by the ears, pulling his neck up against her as she wrapped her arms around it. She squeezed, hearing the monster gag, successfully blocking his air way. She tightened her arms around it. Jumping of his back as she made sure to turn his head with her. Hearing the snap of it's neck as she landed on the floor. Kneeling as the giant fell behind her. Disturbing the leaves with a great thud as his body turned into dust in a matter of seconds. Taking a deep breath she heard a deep rumbling growl in front of her. She looked up, meeting his Crimson eyes.

He had snapped her neck. Her big ginormous wolf body turning into grey sand. Letting go of her head as it landed on the ground with a thud. He stood from his kneeling position. Only one remained. The female with long black hair and prominent horns. She stared at him with no emotion. Her face still and hollow as she watched him carefully. His eyes not daring to move from her's. It was a stare off and Ky was planning to win. They stared at each other with silence. Strands of her black hair blowing in the wind in somewhat of a calm matter. Going in front of her lips as her black hair framed her face in a mysterious motion.

The wind blew Serena's hair as he stared at her. The other male had shifted back into his human/gargoyle form. His eyes watching her carefully as she stared upon him emotionless. His red eyes locking with her blue as her hair brushed her lips lightly. A wind that she did not notice before. It was only him...and her. A battle of one on one. She tilted your head, now noticing that his jaw was slightly bruising from the kick she gave him earlier. She looked at him curious. I never knew demons could bruise, she thought to herself. Watching him as he scanned her silently. His eyes not moving once from her. Why isn't he attacking? She questioned.

Ky watched as she tilted her head at him. Her eyes falling upon the bruise on his jaw that began to form. He touched his jaw, wincing from the pain as he quickly removed his fingers away from it. Moving his hand as if someone had just slapped it. That must of been when she kicked me in the jaw earlier, he thought. Coming out of his mind as he continued to watch her. Sharpening his claws at his side as he questioned one thing and one thing only. Why isn't she attacking? He waited...for some kind of sign that she was going to make a move. She never did...and he became impatient.

"Come on! Let's see what you are made of!" Ky growled. The female dropping her jaw as the sound of hell radiated from her lips.

The demon roared. Taking the first step towards Serena as he had one intention and one intention only. To kill. He had made the first move. Serena growled as she run, colliding head on with the beast as they punched and kicked. Both of their attacks seeming effortless as they were both equal in strength. He began to swing at her face making Serena put her arms up in protection. Little did she know that he tricked her and punched her in the stomach. Making her keel over onto her back. Her shoulder blades touching the forest floor as the leaves cracked beneath her. She groaned.

She roared in pain. Holding her stomach as she could already feel the bruising from Ky's punch. Seeing his opportunity he pinned her down. Straddling her waist as he held both of her wrist in one hand. Punching her face with the other. Her head snapped to the side with every punch that Ky made. Bruising her left cheek as her lip was split. Making her spit out blood. She growled as Ky looked down at her.

Why did he stop? Serena questioned, her lips stained red from blood as the demon looked down at her. His eyes flashing with something...that she might have seen before. He shook his head, growling as he snapped out of his trance as he slowly raised his fist again. Not this time! Serena kicked the demon in the back. Making him roar as she quickly pushed him off of her. Getting to her feet as she kicked him in the stomach quickly. Making him roll up into a ball from the pain. She was about to hit him again when she noticed something. Stopping in her tracks as she felt a light buzz within her body. The way he curled into a ball seemed familiar to her, almost nostalgic. Then she noticed the way he moved and thought about the way he fought. She only seen one person move like that. Being curious she took in a deep breath, closing her eyes as she caught of hint of something. Something that smelled like lavender.

She stopped, the demon closing her eyes as she took a whiff of the air. Being focus on something unknown to Ky. She was distracted and he took a chance. He got to his feet and quickly tackled her as she was still in her trance. Straddling her waist once more as he held her down by her neck. His hands strangling the fragile thing. She clawed at his arms as she tried to pry his hands off. Making roar sounds as if she was trying to say something. As if she was trying to talk to him. His hands loosened a bit as he peered into her eyes. Seeing the loving and pleading look that she was giving him. A look that looked so familiar to...Serena. He stopped immediately and she quickly placed her hand on the back of his neck. Pulling him down as she slammed her lips against his.

* Serena's P.O.V *

I growled against his lips. Throwing my arms around his neck as the sense of familiarity washed over me. This is Ky. This is my Ky. I purred feeling his tongue graze against mine as I could feel the forest fade around us. My hands running thru his soft hair as I moaned in his mouth.

"Uhmm," someone coughed. Making me and Ky pull away as we finally got a look at each other. The sight of horror washing over us. My breath stopped in pain as I looked at him. The bruise on his jaw was now a purplish black. Guilt consuming me as I just noticed that his left eyebrow had a cut in it. And by the look on Ky's face...I knew I looked no better. I could feel the bruise on my cheek darkening slowly as I tasted blood in my mouth. Licking my split lip as it stung a little. It would take maybe weeks for all of this to heal, maybe longer.

"Uhmmmmm," Michael said more frustrated. Making us both jump as he peered down at us. He crossed his arms as he smirked with pride.

"Well done you two. You guys did better than I expected."

"Better?!" Ky growled as he got off of me. Pulling me up as he gave Michael a look.

"Look at her! I-I almost killed her!"

"But you didn't." Michael replied in a smart ass tone.

"But I could have!"

"But you didn't." He said more serious. Trying to get his point across. Staring at Ky dead in the eye making sure that he was with him. "You could have killed her, but during this simulation the worst case scenario would be a broken bone. And you two have none. All you have are bruises and cuts when I expected broken bones. So to me..." he paused placing a hand on Ky's and my shoulder. "...you two passed my expectations. You did better than I thought you were going to. You did better than people who did it on the first try. Do you understand? You guys did better. You did good."

"We understand Michael." I replied. Grabbing Ky's hand as he squeezed my hand in return.

Michael smiled and brought his hands back to his sides. "Good...now you have the rest of the day off. Go relax, get something to eat, and get lots of rest."

"What are you going to be doing?" I asked softly. Curiously.

He sighed, "everyone most train for the Dramin. Even your lowest soldiers. So I will be running simulations all day as my brothers do the same."

"You'll make sure no one gets killed...right Michael?"

He smiled and looked me dead in the eye. "I promise."

I was looking at myself in the bathroom that connected to Ky's room. The mirror showing my beat up face right back at me. Night had fallen and I was about to take a shower. Stopping in my tracks as I saw my cheek was a dark shade of purple. I sighed, scanning my face as I reached up to touch the bruise. I hissed, flinching my fingers away from my sensitive skin.

"Touching it won't make it heal faster." I jumped. Hearing Ky's voice coming from the door away. I looked at him, biting my bottom lip as he looked at me with emotionless eyes. He was leaning against the door frame. His arms crossed as his hair was a sexy mess. The bruise on his jaw not seeming to fade.

"H...How's your stomach?" I whispered softly. Remembering the kick I gave him.

"Good, you?" He spoke monotone. His voice cold and laced with guilt. His eyes changing from emotionless to apologetic. I quickly looked away, knowing that he blamed himself for my pain.

"I-I haven't looked yet." I whispered. Looking down as I felt him walk towards me. His presence enrapturing me as I felt his hot breath against my neck.

"Show me."

"Ky-" I began to protest. But was cut off as he grabbed my chin gently. Lifting my face as he made me look at him. We were so close, if I had just leaned a few more centimeters...we would be sharing tongue by now. My hot breath teased his lips, wanting to change the subject quickly. He moaned, but kept his mind clear.

"Show me."

"But Ky-"

"No buts. Show me." He beckoned again...and this time I gave in. I sighed, reaching for the bottom of my shirt as I slowly took it off. I threw it on the floor letting it go as Ky looks at my body with lust...and pain. I fold my arms over my chest, hiding my breast as I become embarrassed. He growls putting his mouth next to my ear as he rips my hands away from my body. Holding my wrist as he whispers seductively in my ear.

"Don't...hide from me." I shiver from his voice as one of his hands touched my bruised stomach.

"Ah!" I said from pain as Ky's fingers touch the little small bruise that I was forming. But soon his touch became pleasure as he ran his hands up my bare sides. His hands stroking my breast over my bra. Squeezing them lightly as he buried his face in the crook of my neck. Nipping and sucking on my skin as he made me tremble against him.

"Ky-" I moaned. But I was soon shushed as his lips came crashing into mine. A shiver running up my spine as my heart was beating out of my chest. His tongue entered into my mouth as I sucked on it lightly. Making him moan as he massaged my breast thru the clothing harder. Making me gasp with pleasure as I place my body against his. He moaned, crashing my body into a wall as we collided in all the right places. I broke the kiss as I pulled his shirt off of him. Throwing it away with mine as I looked at his stomach. The bruise...was bad. It was the size of my foot and it covered the left side of his tone body. The spot were I kicked him. It was already turning a black purplish color as I looked upon it with worried eyes. Whimpering, I placed my hand upon it. Feeling him flinch away from my fingers as I pang of guilt consumed me.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered looking down. "I'm so sorry." I already felt the tears about to overflow as they pricked my eyes. "I'm-"

"Shhh," he hushed me. Wrapping me in his strong arms as the electricity ran thru me. A feeling that hasn't happened in a long time.

"It's okay. It's okay." He whispered, trying to comfort me. Saying that I wasn't the one to blame. But no matter how much he denied it, or told me otherwise...I will always feel like I'm the one at fault. That I was the one who hurt Ky, not a demon...but Ky. I had hurt him and I'm sorry for it.

I shook my head. "It's not okay. I'm the one to blame. I hurt you..." I whispered. My voice dying off as I felt nothing but guilt.

"And I hurt you..." he spoke. Making me look at him.

"Ky...no-"

"Did you do that yourself Serena?" He paused as his hand grazed gently over my bruised cheek. "Did you punch yourself and gave yourself this terrible bruise...I don't think so."

And with those words, I wrapped my arms around his neck. Our skin coming in contact as we moaned from the feel of each other. Our bodies lighting up with sparks as I hold him tightly. A shiver running up my spine as I purr.

"How can I make it up to you?" I whispered in his ear. Nibbling it lightly as he trembled against me.

"Well..." he paused. Running his hands down my body as he grabbed my ass. Squeezing it tightly as he pulled me against him. Making me moan as he licked the inside of my ear before he spoke against it. "...be mine completely again tonight. Let me hear you moan my name as I take you to ecstasy as I indulge in your sweetness. Let me claim you senseless tonight  as I enjoy the feeling that is you. Let me love you completely and fully. Let me feel you."

I shivered from his words. Not knowing what to do or how to respond. I wanted him. I wanted him so bad, I needed him. Right here, right now. He squeezed my ass tighter making me moan as I trembled against him.

"Yes." I whispered.
