Almost is Never Enough

Interrogation

Emma

When Demon Jed woke up, he looked around at all of us. His black eyes land on me and he smirks.

"Emma Winchester, what a pleasure."
The demon says.

"Mikaelson" I correct. "What do you want?" I ask and he just smirks.

I grab the bottle of holy water and pour it in a large bowl. I grab the demon's hand and hold it under the water, watching it sizzle and burn.
The demon screams and thrashes around trying to free his hand.

"Here's how this is gonna work. You answer my questions, my sister and I don't show you how much we're like our father. What do you want?" I ask again.

"You! I came here for you." I let his hand go and sit the bowl down.

"What do you want with her?" Hope speaks up, stepping towards him.

"I don't have to tell you anything." He says. Hope raises her perfect eyebrow and looks at me for a brief moment. She then grabs the demon killing knife from my pocket and the bowl of holy water and makes her way over to him.

She takes the knife and dips it in the water. Then she starts lightly dragging the knife across his face.

"I wonder what would happen if I just...." she presses down a little harder with the top of the blade right under his eye. He hisses and tries to back up.

"Okay, okay. I made a deal." He says, trying to move away from Hope and the knife.

"With who?" I ask. He shakes his head and I let my eyes change.

I can't really have fun with this torture because that's still my friend there. Instead I take my hand, plunge it through his stomach, and start a holy fire around my hand. The demon screams and I grab his face with my other hand. I let my whole face change and look him in the eyes.

"Who did you make a deal with? Please don't make me ask again." I say in a soft and sweet voice.

"I don't necessarily know. There was this guy in a black cloak. He said he would give me power for your capture. I don't know why. I just know that the cloak dude wants you." He says. I remove my hand and heal Jed's body.

"Thank you. That was very helpful. Anything else?" I ask.

He nods and replies, "This guy isn't just working with demons. He's working with whatever monster he cam find. He's bringing monsters or of purgatory and he's getting some from this puddle of black goo."

I look at Hope and I know we're thinking the same thing. Malivore.
Our problems just never seem to end.

I step back and exorcise the demon out of Jed. I then untie him.

While we're waiting for him to wake up we're discussing what the demon said.

"Well clearly Malivore is back." Ric says.

"But who the hell is making deals with monsters?" Jack questions.

"I don't know. But they're playing a dangerous game. And making deals with demons? I'm best friends with the actual devil." I say.

I hear a groan from behind me and turn around. Jed is finally waking up.
I walk over and kneel down in front of him.

"Hey," I speak softly. "How are you feeling?"

"What happened? Where am I?" He asks.

"We're in Ric's office. You were possessed by a demon. Do you remember anything?" I respond back, placing my hand on his knee.

"Um.... I was at the assembly and I got up to go to the bathroom. Then I saw black smoke and then nothing. Next thing I know is I'm here." He says confused.

"You weren't conscious, which sometimes can be a good thing." I say.

"Did I hurt anybody?" He asked.

"No, no you didn't. You're good. Um, you might feel some pain for a little while. So why don't you go lay down and rest." I say softly to him.

He nods his head and gets up.

"Thanks." He says and walks out.

"Now that the demon it's gone and Wolfie is okay, we need to figure out who the gel is making deals with monsters" I say.

"I'll go talk to my dad. He cam deal with the demons and maybe put them all on lockdown in Hell" Jack says. He kisses my forehead and disappears.

"Okay, Super Squad, hit the books. I'm gone call my dad" Hope says and walks out. The rest of them walk out shortly after her.

"Ric, we need to talk" I say to him and sit down at his desk.

Hey guys. I got my phone back now :)
Here's a new chapter. I know y'all hate me for this cliffhanger but it'll be worth the wait.

Also, I just wanted to say thank you
