Chapter eight

Lucifer's POV

I started to shake Kaylen and he slowly stirred awake looking at me like I grew a third head. What? How? I thought he wasn't breathing.

"You weren't breathing" I said pulling him close to me.

"Im fine" he muttered pushing himself away from me.

He stood up from the bed and walked away from me. What is his problem? Before he could leave the room I grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked his eyes were slightly glazed over

"nothing" he responded shaking my grip free from him and walking out the door.

I followed behind him, he was heading into the town. What's gotten into him? He walked into an old antique store and told the Clark something before the Clark headed to the back of the store. Soon after he came out with a jar but it was covered by a dirty white blanket. Kaylen walked out the store and I hid, when he came out I noticed something very wrong.

He didn't have on the amulet.

*_*_*_*

I frantically looked through my father's journals hoping to find whatever I could to snap Kaylen out of whatever he was in. I slumped in the office chair and ran my hand through my hair, there was nothing I could do about it, all it said was I had to put the amulet back on him, and his blood needed to mix through it. One I don't know how to put it back on him, and one how am I suppose to get his blood in it? I sighed heavily and closed the journal. Even though my father was a complete jackass he always had the answers on how to fix his mistakes.

There was a loud crash, the house rumbled and shook, glass rattled and shattered, and a big boom! Followed after, I jumped almost falling out of the chair. I walked out of the room and towards the stairs calling out for Omen, in return was his deep voice. I stood from the stairs and Omen was looking at the backyard, this first time in 200 years that I've ever seen an expression of horror and fear on Omens face. The back yard was gone, it was gone, what used to be my back yard caved in and all it was, was a gaping whole, and there standing at the edge of the hole was Kaylen. His skin was grey and black veins grinder against his skin, his once dirty blonde hair was midnight black, and his eyes were completely black. He gave me one last look and ran through the woods, before I could think I took off after him, heavy footsteps followed me indicating Omen was behind me.

"he's here somewhere" I shouted Omen followed me through the woods while I tried to keep up with the now incredibly fast Kaylen.

His body flashed in and out from behind fallen trees, I stood in the clearing and looked around watching as he flashed around me, like I was prey.

This wasn't my Kaylen, and I have no idea who or what it is, but it's not him. I didn't turn in time before I shoved from my feet and thrown at least twenty feet in the air before landing roughly on the ground with a loud and hard thump. The wind was knocked out of me, and I gasped for air, suddenly feeling the pain.

He crept up on me and kneeled down on me he examined me, his black ores he called eyes eyed me, a snarl played on his mouth showing his sharpened teeth, he looked like a nightmare. He took ahold of my neck and I gasped, I try to pry his hand off me but he was too strong.

"Kaylen" I gasped the thing snarled and tightened his grip

"f-fight...I-it..." I said gasping for air, the thing tightened his grip and I thrashed my legs trying to get away from his hold.

"your precious Kaylen is gone" it growled, his voice was deep and rough, so rough it could cut through metal.

Before I could close my eyes and give in to the strain, Omen came running in and body slammed Kaylen off of me, hurling him into a tree. I gasped for air, and tried to gather all the air I possibly could all at one time.
