Intoxicating |Remington Leith|

18

"Let me-"

"Relax," Remington cuts me off, spinning me around to face him "it's me."

"Jesus, Remington" I breathe "don't fucking do that, do you know the kind of day I've had?"

"We know exactly what kind of day you've had that's why I portal'd you here." Emerson startles me, handing me a water. "I had a vision of you in hell and we couldn't find you anywhere all day. Remington couldn't feel your connection and for a few hours I couldn't sense your power anywhere. Up until a few minutes ago, we thought you were dead."

"Yeah, maybe because I got pulled into some nut jobs head. I saw a woman being tortured and some guy being bled out who by the way, yeah, now that I think about it, he did mention that I was in hell!" I raise my voice and pace the room.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine" I take a seat on the couch "I can take care of myself"

"Tell us what happened, from the beginning. The last time we felt you here on earth was close to noon." Remington and Emerson sit across from me. I sigh and rub a hand down my face.

"Where do I start?"

"Just walk us through your day." Emerson tells me, reaching for some book on the coffee table.

"Alright then," my fingers fidget with a loose string on the couch. "I woke up around ten and got dressed to go shopping because Remington ate all of my groceries the other day. I was almost ready to leave and then everything started going black. The music stopped playing in the store and I could hear drops of water but it wasn't water it was blood. I didn't know that until later though, I could hear screaming and everything felt humid and then some guy started talking to me. He said some weird things and I tried to find him but like I said everything was black. He said something about seeing me soon and my sight came back. I transported myself out of there and into the woods-"

"Did he touch you?" Remington cuts me off.

"I'm getting to that, " I roll my eyes "anyways I went to the woods and tried to see if I could speak with him again because you said that as long as they weren't blocking me that I could get into someone's mind and since he seemed so interested in me, I tried that. I was able to make it back to the same place he took me to except this time, I was able to see where I was. It was a cave and like I said, the water wasn't water, it was blood. There was some guy being bled out in the back of the cave, he had blue hair and cuts everywhere. There was also a woman being tortured by some man with dark hair and green eyes, I think it was Emerson's length but I don't remember that well-"

"Did the other guy have a neck tattoo? Or symbols going down his arms-"

"Shut up" Emerson and I say in unison "just wait Rem."

"Anyways, I was going to see if I could help the woman but the guy had me unchain him, he said you'd know him and when I started heading down the cave to finally help her everything went quiet and dark again and the man finally showed me his face. He told me we were in his head and that he could touch me but I couldn't hurt him a-"

"That fucking bastard! He's a fucking coward, did he hurt you? I swear I'll kill him-"

"He didn't hurt me," I cut Remington off, standing up to place my hand on his shoulder. His eyes have gone red, his skin burning hot and soon his balled up fists were in flames. Emerson gasps as I place my hands over his to put out the fire. He had yet to know how to control it, and I mean yeah maybe I set things on fire in my sleep but when I'm conscious, it was a different story.

"You two really are bonded huh?" Emerson mutters "the coolest thing Remington can do is shift."

"He didn't hurt you?" Remington asks me. I shake my head no.

"I cut him with my wings and tried to set him on fire but that other guy showed up and mumbled something before snapping his fingers, that's how I got back to the woods. I don't know how long I was there but when I opened my eyes it was dark and he showed up in the woods too but you guys pulled me here" I finish explaining.

"Leviathan is here?" Emerson stands up, clenching his jaw "Great, just fucking great! You know what that means Remington, there's no one to keep the gates of hell closed and thats probably how all of those fucking things escaped!"

"I'll take care of it." Remington growls "he knows-"

"Don't you think that was kinda rude Remi? The lady and I were in the middle of a conversation" I hear a mocking tone from behind me, and snap my head in its direction. Sure enough Levi was there.

"Why are you here?" Remington places me behind him, freeing his wings and Leviathan laughs. I can't see over the large black wings in front of me but I can already tell by the way Remington shifted, that his eyes were that darker blood red color that they turn once he's fully transitioned into his demon body.

"It never is easy with you is it?" Levi chuckles, his voice deeper and more demonic.

"Aislin get back!" Emerson grabs me by the arm and drags me away just as they lung for each other. I fall backwards into Emerson, luckily we both land on the couch. Remington is about to throw a punch at the blue haired boy but I interfere. Throwing both my hands in front of me, I lift them into the air. Neither one of them able to harm each other seeing as I have control of their bodies.

"Put me down" Remington growls "I need to send him back to hell so he can wat-"

"You idiot" leviathan laughs "I was in hell, Sam had me chained up and that's why all of your little slave demons have been coming after your very very beautiful lady" he winks at me and I roll my eyes.

"What do you mean he had you chained up?" Remington scoffs "I left you in charge of the gates for a reason Leviathan! No body, alive, dead, demon or not can get passed you so please explain to me how in the bloody hell Sam of all people was able to capture you!"

"Well, you see," Levi chuckles "I was a little drunk, got involved with a few pixie ladies and we danced around for while before we...you know...did the deed-"

"Pixies?" I mutter "I thought pixies were like little tiny fairy people?"

"Two different species sweetheart, and they can be as big or small as they want to be" Leviathan licks his bottom lip before continuing "being tiny is just their way of staying hidden but for the most part they're as tall as you and I-"

"What the hell does that have to do with anything!" Remington is getting agitated now, and he turns to me "put me down Aislin" he tries again.

"Dont try anything"

"Fine" his voice echos in my head, and I give him a serious look before he puts his hands up in surrender.

"Damn, you're whipped" Levi laughs yet again "never in a millions years would I have thought that I'd live to see the day Remington Leith takes orders from anyone, let alone a woman."

"Just continue" I set him down too but keep him in his place, not really needing my hand to guide me anymore seeing as I could feel his energy.

"Fine, fine, where was I...oh yes, well I got drunk and slept with a few pixies only to find out that they played me" he scoffs, faking offense "yeah, they were working for Sam, and when I woke up I was locked in his stupid torture chamber being bled out and I've been there for the past I don't even know how long" again he scoffs out a laugh "nobody even noticed, can you believe that? How Fucking rude."

"Oh we've noticed," Remington tucks away his wings, and steps up to Levi "we've noticed more than just what you call slave demons Levi, there's been almost every kind of species after her and you were supposed to make sure that nobody got in or out of hell if they weren't meant to."

"Excuse me for wanting to get laid after years of guarding our stupid realm" Leviathan rolls his eyes and now that I feel they're not going to kill each other, I let him sit on the couch. "I'd still be down there if it weren't for her, thanks by the way."

I look back and forth between them and then at Emerson. He shrugs and I sigh "I'll let you two catch up, after today, I need a drink."

"Me too" Emerson chimes, opening a portal to my house. "After you."
