The Beast Within

Chapter 9- The Meeting

A week has past since our return from the mission, and to say acting 'normal' was weird was a bit of an understatement. Traitor and I had decided to wait a while until we traveled to Europe, so that he could get his affairs in order, and bring his Beta up to date on everything.

Speaking of his Beta, he was always busy, so I never had the chance to meet him. Today, he's having a meeting with Traitor, and Traitor wants me to come and explain the situation a bit better, so I'll be able to meet him. Until then, I was in the gym training.

I had spent every free moment working out and training, making sure my speed, strength, and agility were always top notch. I couldn't afford to be weak, so I trained my ass off. Thankfully, his pack warriors were willing to train with me, and test my abilities. I didn't use my powers with them, since I couldn't allow anyone to know about what I could do. The last thing I needed was for his pack to be afraid of me, because I was similar to those their Alpha was up against.

At this point, Traitor had told his warriors that there were an army of demons out to destroy anyone and anything in it's path. Though, it didn't explain the whole truth, it wasn't a technical lie. He had explained to them that they needed to train with me, since I was a witch, so they could learn how to fight them without the MIAs.

I was currently teaching them how to fight, speaking as we trained.

"Though, there is only one way to completely kill a demon, there were ways on sending the thing back to Hell. Demons on earth aren't what they appear to be. They are inhabiting a body of someone, possessing a person. Kill the body, and the demon gets sent back to Hell."

"What if they come back?" The warrior I was fighting, Leon, asked.

"A demon can't just come to earth and possess someone, so it's hard for them to come back once they've been sent to Hell. They have to be summoned by someone, usually to make a deal, and then they are able to inhabit our land."

"How are they able to possess someone?"

"It's a bit of a process. Demons can easily possess a person who either wishes it, or is extremely damaged. When the mind is broken by either loss or trauma, the person's soul becomes easier to attach to. But a healthy or sane person is tricky. They have something to live for, and their mind and soul are more connected to the body, making it harder for the demon to infiltrate the human."

"Can they possess werewolves, or other creatures?"

"Yes, they can. Though, it is not done often, since they are, again, harder to infiltrate. A werewolf is naturally stronger than a human, and most of them have a family, or something that makes them appreciate life, and want to keep living. Same thing goes for most other creatures."

"If a demon were to try and possess you, how do you stop it?"

"You don't."

His shock allowed me to over power him and knock him to the ground with ease. I knelt down beside him, placing a hand over his chest and pinning him in place. I looked him dead in the eyes as mine turned white, allowing me use my inner strength to keep him in place.

"They will not care if you want it or not. They will not be stopped. They will hunt you down, they will infect you, and they will capture your soul. Once a demon has entered your body, you're as good as dead. There is nothing you can do, except die. That will be your fate."

My eyes went back to normal as I stood up, holding my hand out for him. Once he grabbed it, and stood, I looked at the rest of the warriors.

"This is not a game. This is war. We have to fight, not just for our lives, but for our souls. These things will not stop until they have plagued our earth. Until they have infected every being, and ripped away any chance of hope. I will not stop until our world is cleansed from these creatures, will you?"
