Chapter 63
Opening my eyes, I looked to see I was in my bedroom in the realm. Micah truly kept his promise. Letting out a yawn, I got out of bed and walked down the stairs only to hear music playing softly. I walked into the living room to see Darwin and his guys were still here. I looked to see Micah was sitting on the couch.
He gave me a smile as he saw I was in the room. I returned the smile and walked over to him before dropping down on the couch next to him. I laid my head on his lap and he gently massaged my hair.
"How'd you sleep?' he asked as I closed my eyes.
"Good. Still a bit tired," I admitted, "And why are they still here?" I asked.
"We're bored and I still have questions," Darwin spoke before Micah could answer. "Your questions can go fuck themselves," I mumbled causing Micah to chuckle.
Someone cleared their throat in front of me and I opened my eyes to see a girl was standing in front of me. "Who are you?" I asked.
"Names Glen and you're in my seat," she scoffed.
"Glen sit over there," Darwin ordered her gesturing to the seat next to Taylor.
"No, she's in my seat," she whined. It was clear that she knew nothing about me. I turned my head on Micah's lap to look up at him.
"Do you have a thing for her?" I asked to which he chuckled. "She's not even my type," he replied which only caused the girl to scoff.
"Sucks to be you," I mumbled as I closed my eyes again.
A hand then grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me off the couch. Within a swift move, I got up and tackled the person to the ground. I stood over them bent over as I had my hand around their neck.
"No, don't kill her. She didn't mean it," Jack spoke as him and the guys all quickly rushed over to me. I looked at the girl to see a look of horror was on her face. "I'm sorry," she gasped out as my grip tightened. I let out a scuff and released her before Nick helped her up.
I walked into the kitchen and got two blood bags before walking back over to sit next to Micah who was on his phone texting away.
"He currently has his witches looking for you along with some of the Dementors," he spoke as he showed me Lucifer's text. "Dementors as in the ones that kept Sean in prison?" I questioned as I drank out the first bag.
Micah nodded, "Yes, those."
"They can roam outside that realm?" I asked. "Only for a certain amount of time but you should know they're like bloodhounds. They can sniff you out within moments," he informed me.
"Who's looking for you and why?" Jonathan asked.
"None of your business," I mumbled to which he shrugged. "Who knows, we could help you," he offered to which Micah started to laugh.
"No one can help her fight him. Not even God himself," Micah spoke in a stern tone. I sat silently on the couch and drank my blood bag.
"You okay?" Micah asked.
I shook my head. "I saw what the ritual was going to do to me. I even felt it. It's painful. More than death itself," I trailed off as I vividly remember the feeling.
"It doesn't have to happen like that. He thinks you're just like the others. He thinks that's the only way but you're much stronger that. You're different. All you would have to do is turn it back on when you're in the moment but you'll have to be willing to want to turn it back on. It's a bit harder to find the switch but it isn't impossible," he explained.
"But what makes you think he'll believe -"
"When you're ready, I'll talk to him for you," he smiled to which I smiled back. "Thank you," I replied before kissing his cheek before drinking more blood.
"You ever tried his blood?" he asked.
My eyebrow rose in curiosity as his question, "No, why?"
"Well, if a demon tastes his blood it makes them crazy. It gives of a drunken yet high feeling. You should ask him one day," he shrugged.
"Cool. What about Angel blood?" I asked. He gave me his index finger, "Sour. Try if you want," he offered.
I used my sharp teeth to pierce through his finger as a needle. His blood hit my tongue and I couldn't help but gag causing him to laugh. It was the most inhumane sour thing I've ever tasted. Worst than sour candy itself.
"Demons and Angels aren't to cross paths when it comes to blood. However, your brother posses both sour and sweet since he is demon and angel," he explained.
I nodded in understanding and drank out my bag.
"Well, I was hoping we could do the attack on uptown tonight if you're okay with it," Darwin spoke. I nodded, "I'm down as long as I can kill people," I chirped.
"Well, in that case, we should go get the rest of the guys ready including ourselves," Jonathan spoke as they all stood up.
Micah then stood up before looking down at me. "I have to go as well. He's going to call me at any moment. If you're planning to use your powers, I suggest you use it a little. If you use it too much, the realm is going to drain you. You're also running on human blood and that's not going to last you long. If you overuse your powers and try to regain energy through blood, it's not going to work. Keep in mind this realm indifferent," he informed me.
I rolled my eyes and stood up, "I know, I know."
He then planted a kiss on my forehead, "I'll be back as soon as I can. Don't forget the dementors are after you as well," he spoke before he disappeared.
"Dementors?" Nick asked as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed about 2 blood bags. "Yeah," I spoke as we were now walking out of the house, "It's basically like these black ghost-like things like grim reapers. Getting close to one can be deadly. They drain your energy and can get into your mind. They make you feel unable pain as well," I tried my best to explain. The car started and we took off.
"What does it taste like?" Glen asked as she stared at me sucking on one of the blood bags. "It tastes sort of like frosting or like this creamy milk you can't resist," I mumbled.
"Not what I expected," she trailed off.
For the rest of the car ride, Darwin made some calls which I assume was to the rest of his gang informing them of the plan for tonight. I on the other hand just sipped on my blood and stared out the window. The town was honestly shitty compared to the actual New York City. The only bright side to this realm was that there was no traffic, law enforcers, or even crowds. The car came to a stop and I looked in front to see a pair of silver gates opening up.
Jonathan drove up the driveway towards a mansion which I'm guessing was theirs. They parked in front next to another SUV and got out. I trailed behind them as they walked into the house. Their lobby wasn't as huge as mine back home but it was still big. The interior of the house was just white with silver railings which were for the stairs.
Everyone went their own way and I looked around. I walked into the living room and jumped over the back of the couch before crashing down on it. Laying back I just fell asleep within seconds.
"I don't want to wake her you. You wake her up," someone tried to whisper but it came out like a shriek.
"Don't be a pussy, wake her up," I could hear Jack's voice.
"And have her rip my head off? I don't think so," Marcel replied with a scoff. "Oh! I got it! Just poke her with a stick!" Taylor jumped in.
"She's not a fucking animal, Taylor," Darwin hissed at him, "And it would piss her off."
I let out a frustrated groan, "You're lucky I just don't kill you all now," I hissed as I looked around to see the guys were all around me, "Now let's go," I chirped as I got up.
"Here are your weapons," Darwin spoke as he passed me a pistol along with some clips and two hand knives.
After arming myself, we then all piled into one car and I looked to see we were behind a bunch of SUV's. They sped off and so did we. "So how many people are we fighting?" I asked as I laid back in my seat.
"About a hundred but it's not really that big of a problem since I have a hundred and fifty on my side. Everyone will be focusing fire around the backups. We're going for the main house which has Berlin and before you ask, Berlin is the guy who's in control of the last part of uptown," he explained.
"I didn't ask nor do I care," I mumbled.
The car drifted into silence for the next 20 minutes or so and I smoked out a cigarette. Soon gunshots were being fired at the car. I looked to see it had hit the windshield but didn't penetrate through.
"Relax, the car is bulletproof," Darwin spoke next to me as the car was still under fire. "Not for long if you keep taking fire like that," I casually replied. I watched as Jonathan started to slowly maneuver around the blown up car from him. I couldn't help but felt my skin crawl at how bad he was at driving in this situation.
"For fuck sake!! We're switching," I groaned out in annoyance. I grabbed his shoulder and swap seats with him so I was now driving. I put the car in reverse and then quickly drove around the car. I pistol from the cup holder and rolled my glass down. I fired it at the people who were shooting at us. The firing stopped and I sped down the road.
"How long did you know how to shoot?" Marcel asked from the passenger seat.
"Since 15. I'm actually 23 years old. I recently became a demon during an accident when I was on a mission. I was human before this," I answered.
"A mission like this?" Darwin asked.
I shook my head, "No. I'm in my own gang. Me along with my 22 brothers. We work for a secret organization which involves keeping the world safe from bombs, drug dealers and anything you can think of. Flying home from a mission, a jet attacked us and the plane was going down. My boyfriend at the time could teleport so I told him to teleport my brothers instead of going for me. He managed to save all of them but I ended up sinking with the plane in the ocean. I was then stuck reliving my death. My boyfriend as an option or either saves me and I'll become a demon or leave me in a realm of repeating my death," I spoke.
"And he decided to save you," Nick filled in to which I nodded. "Is he the one looking for you?" Darwin asked.
"Yes," I mumbled.
To be honest, I miss him a lot. I miss having him in my arms and I miss just hearing his voice. I probably hates me right now but what difference does it make. What is done has been done.
"What's his name?" Jack asked.
I stayed quiet.
"How much further?" I asked in a stern tone. "Just up ahead. About 3 minutes," Darwin spoke.
I sped up and within moments, we arrived. I droved through the gates causing it to break. I parked in front of the house and all the guys got out the car while aims their gun every direction. Taylor kicked the door down and threw in some flashbangs. We walked in and the guys started to scoop out the house one room at a time. The rooms were honestly huge. The house, in general, was bigger than Darwin's house which is pretty sad since he was winning this war.
Darwin and his guys cleared out the first floor without any problems. I was then the one to lead us upstairs only to be stopped by firing. From around the corner, I could see there were guys over there. Using my portal, I passed through and disarmed the first guy before killing him.
The next guy when to shoot me but I quickly kicked the gun out his hand. He then pulled out a knife and I got in defense position. He went to take a stab at me and I shifted to the side before grabbed his hand, twist it back around and stabbing him with his own knife. Reaching inside his chest, I then pulled out his heart causing his body to fall to the ground.
The door next to me opened and a guy walked out. Another one went to walk out but I slammed the door shut on him before quickly grabbing the guys gun who walked out first. I quickly blew his brains out and grabbed his shirt before holding him as a shield in front of the door in front of me.
Knowing the guy's exact move from behind the door, he started to fire at the door as I expected. Timing it right, I calculated the amount of ammo he had left in his clip. Within two seconds, he ran out and I took that time to released the dead guy's body before opening the door revealing the guy adding a new clip.
I kicked it out his hand causing the bullets to fly out. Using my powers, I pierced all the bullets through him. Checking the room I saw there was no one else. I walked out from the corner to see Darwin and his guys were clearing out the rooms before making their way to the center to which I did as well.
Everyone aimed their gun at the double doors and I stood in front. Darwin finger counted to 3 and kicked the doors open. I quickly formed a forcefield in front of us as firing was now being exchanged by the guys in the room and us. There were about 13 of them in the room. Manipulating my forcefield, I allowed Darwin and his guys to kill everyone excepting one the guy.
We watched as the remaining guy dropped his gun to the floor as it was empty. I put my forcefield down and we all entered to room. I eye the guy as he took a seat in his office chair. The guy looked to be in his late 40s to early 50s. His hair was greying and it kind of suit him.
"Berlin, the day finally comes where I take over," Darwin smirked as he stood across from him in front of the desk. The guy let out a chuckle, "I'm surprised your ego hasn't killed you yet," he replied.
The guy looked healthy and he didn't look like a violent type. He didn't even have tattoos, not that tattoos mean bad but it was a bit weird considering the situation.
Darwin let out a scoff, "I've waited for this day for a long time," Darwin hissed as he aimed his gun at him getting ready to pull the trigger.
"Wait," I ordered causing everyone to look at him. "Hi there," I smiled to the guy to which he smiled back. "Hello, I don't think I've seen you before," he gently spoke.
I shook my head as I walked up next to Darwin, "I'm new. My name is Skylar," I greeted him.
"Berlin," he greeted back,
"Why did you-"
"Shut up," I growled at Darwin to which he did. I turned to Berlin who was still sitting in his chair. "Tell me about yourself and why this war is happening," I asked.
"Well, I'm 51 years old and have a wife and two children. I believe that this town should be a safe place where everyone can live in harmony. If the people can prosper, so can life itself. Darwin here wants it for business and money. He believes he can turn this into an empire," he explained. I read his mind and he was telling the truth.
I turned to Darwin, "Is this true?" I asked despite already knowing the truth. "Yes. This town needs a fresh face. Not an old bag of dust. But hey, you're in a tux already so you're dressed for your funeral," Darwin smirked.
He went to pull the trigger but I quickly disarmed him. I then grabbed him by the neck with on hand and slammed him against a wall causing it to crack.
"What are you doing?" his asked trying to pry me off him. I could see the fear in his eyes. "Me?" I hissed, "You're going to kill an innocent man over what? Nothing," my voice grew inhumane.
"What do you care? You're a demon," he gasped out through my grip.
"But I still know the difference between what's wrong and right. Maybe I should kill you instead. Hell seems to be calling your name," I growled as my hand started to ice his neck.
"No, please. I'll change. I'll be good," he begged.
A smirk rose to my face, "Why do they always beg before dying?" I laughed.
My senses heightened and I could hear screams. Screams I heard from the prison realm. I threw Darwin across the room where he landed by his guy's foot. They helped him up and I looked to Berlin.
"Please go stand by them. They're not going to kill or harm you. If they do, I will kill them. You have my word," I promised him. He gave me a thankful smile before standing next to Darwin and his guys. "Whatever happens, don't engage and don't be a smartass and try to help," I spoke to them as I looked around the room and to the window.
"What's going on?" Marcel asked in confusion. They couldn't hear the screams.
The lights to the entire house shut off.
"The generator will kick in any second," Berlin spoke across the room
The lights soon turned on and by the closed double door was a Dementor. Black smoke rose from it as it was shifting to a different room. I watched as a smirk rose to the persons face. I couldn't believe my eyes. Lucifer actually sent Ash, The King of Dementors, to hunt me down.
"Nice to see you again," he smirked.
I let out a scoff, "Speak for yourself, Ash."
