Fallen

Chapter 28

"There's no sign of the seeker so far. We'll keep you posted if we find her." Bo said over the phone, Zion's agitation at not being able to find Tanya rising with his anger. After the witches trial he had spent the last week and a half trying to find her but it was as if she had just vanished, not even Jax or Zyr could find her.

"Thanks, keep your people inside until this blows over, there's no telling what she might do, I'll also be sending a witch over to help with the barriers." He responded, hanging up the phone and dropping it onto his counter, groaning low he shoved his face into his hands for a moment before sighing. This wasn't going exactly as he had planned, Lisandra was safe for now with her gone but that didn't mean she wouldn't bring in more hunters. What was even more odd was the fact that whoever she was working for had wanted to bring him in alive, though none of the things they found at the warehouse held any information, not even the laptop.

His head tilted slightly at the sound of footsteps on his porch and he hesitantly stood to see who it was, upon moving towards the door he was surprised when it opened and in came Titus. He looked pissed beyond what he knew Karyn could muster up in him, though he didn't blame his friend at all since he had been avoiding him.

"Quit ignoring my calls asshole!" The silver haired demon snapped, slaming the door shut behind him.

"I'm not ignoring you. I'm avoiding." He said nonchalantly, only furthering his friends anger.

"We need to talk, I've been trying to get a hold of you all week!"

"There's nothing to talk about." Zion folded his arms over his chest while Titus ran a hand through his silver hair.

"We need to talk about your human-"

"Lisandra is fine." He bit out. "She hasn't said a word."

"That's not it! Zion you've gotten too attached to her!" Titus flung his arms out wide in exasperation, clearly upset by the fact he was still with her.

"And? What's wrong with that?" He shrugged, standing his ground and not letting his friend budge him on the subject.

"What's wrong with that?! She's human! Mortal! Have you forgotten that little tidbit?" Zion kept himself from from stiffening at his words, he really didn't want to lie to his friend but until he knew where he stood on the subject of Lisandra and her awakening angelic side he couldn't say a thing.

"And if she were to become immortal?" Titus scoffed and stuck his fingers in his hair in a stressful gesture.

"Zion you can't be suggesting turning her into a vampire or a demon or any other creature." As a matter of fact he would never suggest that he turn her into anything that had immortality, she was perfect the way she was human nature and angelic nature alike.

"What if I am?" He raised his eyebrow questioningly at Titus who in turned groaned in annoyance.

"Then I'd tell you how unappealing watching a turning is. I've been to a few of them and let me tell you it isn't pretty." Titus moved then to lean against his couch, Zion following with his eyes as he looked over his friend. He seemed stressed, more so than usual, though to be fair they were all stressed out because of the hunters and Tanya getting away.

"I don't care what she is." He stated firmly, he needed Titus to back him up on this.

"Zion, we both agreed to step in when either of us were doing something stupid. This is something stupid that I'm not going to let you do." Titus fixed him with a firm stare, his jade eyes showing no signs of giving in which was disappointing. "She's just a mere mortal woman."

"She's my mortal woman and she's not going anywhere!" Zion snapped.

"Your being ridiculous!" Just then there was a fierce banging on his door that startled the both of them, there hadn't been any sounds or signs someone had come up his porch but there they were knocking. Glaring at Titus he let his arms fall to his sides as he went and answered it, though as soon as he did a spitfire of a demoness came barging in poking at his chest.
