Who among us is likely to live

Chapter 3

" Life just loves to screw me over doesn't in it, I'm getting tired of having to be on the run especially having to look after three human infants not to mention that its almost winter and I can only do so much for these kids, I'm only one demon and my high rank counts for nothing in the human world unless I'm commanding my legion. If I'm not careful the hunters that are looking for their targets will be aware of my presence and that would make my job ten times more difficult than it already is. I'm going to need to find a cave in the woods soon be for the first snowfall otherwise I and the infants will be stuck in the cold snow of course my inhuman body can produce enough heat to keep them warm but that won't stop them from going hungry. Of course, there are ways I could work around that but that would be breaking my promise."

Once Maxwell was a good distance away from the estate grounds with Roxy holding onto his back with her arms tightly wrapped around his neck without choking him and her legs wrapped around his waist well Maxwell held her bum for support with one hand and the other holding three travel bags and her walking stick, "Roxy we just passed over the estate boundary a while ago, please let me know if you wish to turn back or if choose we can continue to go further away from the estate grounds" Maxwell said as he carefully jumped down from a trees to the ground to rest seeing as the sun was already starting to set and Maxwell not wanting to keep Roxy out in the elements dug around in the bags for a sweater or a blanket that she can use for the night. "Maxwell do you think we could continue going for a little while longer," Roxy asked the cat once they landed on the ground safely. As Maxwell placed Roxy down on a fallen log as he quickly searched the bags for a thick sweater that was long enough to cover Roxy's exposed skin, Maxwell was able to find a suitable sweater and a thick blanket that he could use to keep Roxy warm. After he helped Roxy into her sweater and wrapped her in the blanket he then picked up her up and placed her over his shoulder well picking up the bags so he could continue carrying Roxy far from the estate and further from her brother, as Maxwell moved through the forest by using the tree branches that looked strong enough to hold both of their weight as they continued their journey to an unknown destination.

Far in the north a good distance away

Walking in the forest just ten miles north from where the Casillas estate is and five miles from where Maxwell is heading, stood two figures both equal in Hight, size and build "Hey Lucas, do you know what my top three favorite things to do in this world are," one of them said to the other as they continued down an abandon tail that was completely overtaken by nature. " No Lust, but I bet you're going to tell me anyway." the other replied looking down the overgrown trail for anything. "Right you are," said the first one. "First, is getting myself laid. Second is toying anything that I find fun, and Last is dealing with any Hunters that wish to meet their maker by my hands." They continued there to walk in silence after that small conversation, mostly because they both wanted to keep their eyes and ears open on the off chance that they run into something that might be fun to kill or to toy with, otherwise what else are two Incubus going to do for fun when both of them left their clan and fellow demons behind in a town that no longer felt like it would be a good place for both of them to stay in.

After walking for about three hours down the abandoned trail the two Incubuses noticed a figure land about, a good way in front of them hold some bags and what looks to be a body, but it was hard for them to get a good look at what the figure was holding over one of its shoulders. Of course, since they were in the middle of the abandoned trail the figure notices them as well and looked at them well keeping a firm hold on what they both where sure was a body, they weren't close enough to see what exactly the figure had but they both decided to move just a little bit closer. "Hey, Lucas do you feel that," Lust said keeping his eyes on the figure making sure track its every move, "Yeah Lust I do feel it." His partner Lucas said allowing the horns form his Incubus form to show as well as sprouting his auburn wings practically shredding his shirt and extending his claws, well Lust only allowing his horns, claws, and incisors to elongate long enough for a threatening appearance. However, the figure just looked at them then back at the way it landed as if it was contemplating whether or not it should turn back or keep going and risk being attacked by to Incubuses, "I'm only going to say this once so listen up" the figure said turning in their direction and with the clouds blocking most of if not all the moonlight the two Incubuses were only able to see the outline of the figure and its piercing blank white eyes as it looked in their direction, "Were not looking for a fight, so let us be on our way and you can continue to where ever it is you demons are heading, but be warned if you are going to pursue us I'll gladly end the both of you." The figure said turning so it back faced them as it rearranged what it's been holding getting ready to head off in the same direction that the two Incubuses were going, but before the two could get a word in and as the clouds separated to let the light of the moon to reach where they stood the figure and whoever was with it vanished when the light touched where the figure once stood.

"Can you believe the nerve of that asshole, Lucas?" the Incubus said as he kicked a rock that was in front of him well, he retracted his Incubus form, "Its assholes like him that really get my blood going." As for the other Incubus, he stayed staring at where the figure once was trying to see if it left any traces of where it once stood, "Lust please get a hold of your arousal I can smell it coming off you in waves," Lucas said after sniffing the air to try and get the scent of the figure and the person with it but instead got the all too familiar and disgusting smell of Lusts arousal. "Hey it's not my problem that that asshole got me going, the least he could have done was stay so I could have a go at e-" Lust rambled on about how worked up he is until he was cut off by Lucas, "Lust will you shut up and listen for once, cause if you hadn't noticed that that person that was with white eyes had the distinct smell and presence of a dam Hunter." As Lucas looked Lust in the eyes, it all clicked together for Lust finally understood what Lucas meant how could he not have noticed the distinct smell let alone the presence of a Hunter with the figure that had those delicious piercing white-eyes that would stick with him until he got what he wanted from them. "Now that you seem to have finally realized that there was a Hunter so close to us, will you behave long enough to help me find them," Lucas said as he walked over to where white eyes once stood, "I'll behave myself until we find good old white eyes them I'm going to ravish the shit out of em until those eyes are no longer white" Lust said shedding his human form and unleashing his full Incubus form.

That was to close for Maxwell's likeing the thought of having to not only keep Roxy safe and fight off not one but two Incubus, that would most definitely be a nightmare not to mention the fact that one of them was aroused when he gave his warning to them, what kind of person gets a hard-on for a warning. Maxwell was just glad that Roxy was asleep when he encountered the two of them and that he was able to vanish when the moonlight landed on them using one of his many talents, of course, his talents can only get him so far when he's only a third of what he used to be. Maxwell wasn't sure where this abandoned trail leads and he's painfully aware of what would happen if the two of them manage to catch up with him and Roxy, "Hold on for just a little while longer my lady, I'll find a safe place so we could rest." He told the sleeping girl that was slung over his shoulder as he jumped off the trail and continued in a northwest direction with their journey by traveling once again on the tree branches seeing as running on the ground was no longer an option that he wanted to take for fear of running to more of them cause if there's one or two of them around then there's bounded to be more of them, "I need to let the other Hunters know that there are Demons this close to the- crap I almost forgot Roxy and I aren't even apart of them anymore" without looking behind himself Maxwell pushed himself further to try and put as much distance between themselves and the demons that where no doubt within his mind that those two might go looking for them.

The further away Maxwell took Roxy from those two Incubuses and from her former home the estate that's now only home to her brother though Maxwell knew that Roxy didn't want to leave her brother like this, of course, there's nothing that Maxwell could have done to help her since no one at the estate knew of Maxwell's existence, not even her brother knew that Maxwell existed and Rex has been by Roxy's side since they were born and only they only got closer after Roxy became visually impaired. In fact, it was on that fateful day when Roxy almost lost her eye's sight, it was the only time that Rex was hesitant to leave her side so he could go get help but it was right as Rex left that Maxwell was given life once again, unfortunately, he didn't know who exactly he was except for being trapped in a stone and knowing that he used to be stronger. As Maxwell was running he notices off in the distance a cave that looked to be empty hopefully it is empty so he could rest in the shadows and wait until the sun went down since Maxwell's ability diminishes when the sun is up and causing him to stay in a cat form in order to get around during the day which would make traveling more difficult than it was already was them.
