Chapter 12 - Gale

Gale's POV

I opened and shut the large metal door that separated the dungeon from the rest of the house, and tried to leave it unlocked nut Zack showed up out of nowhere and locked it.

"Don't even try..." He muttered.

"She didn't do anything, Zack." I growled quietly so that hopefully Seb wouldn't hear from wherever he was. "Why are you letting this happen?"

"She's a demon, Gale... We're hunters, we are supposed to hunt." He replied as he turned to walk away.

I grabbed his shoulder firmly and held him in place. "If she dies..."

"She won't if she agrees to only feed on animals." I squeezed his shoulder, and I could tell that he was acting like it wasn't crushing him.

"We all know that she cannot agree to those terms." I growled.

"Well then I guess Sebastian will torture her to find that out."

It took everything in me to not rip his shoulder out of its socket tight then and there.

"What would you be doing if it was Luna? Huh?" I asked. "Would you be saying the same things as you are now? Or would you be in my position? Wanting to break your bones in half because you won't let my fucking girl go."

Zacks face hardened. "I've already told you that I would never let a demon get anywhere near her."

"Oh really?" I laughed. There was no humor in it. "Thats why she's roommates with one..."

"We're taking care of that now, aren't we?" He said.

Something inside of me snapped and I found myself punching Zack in the face. That'll bruise both my hand and his face.

His head snapped back, and he almost lost his balance. He looked at me like a phyco would before punching me straight in the gut.

I huffed and held my stomach, backing up so that I didn't give him an opening to knee me in the face.

I ducked and used one of my legs to balance as the other swept Zack off his feet, causing him to fall onto his back.

My foot gave out and I fell onto my ass with a loud thump, and rolled backwards so that I was also laying on my back.

The room was now silent, apart from the sound of mine and Zacks heavy breaths.

"Fuck you..." I huffed out.

"Fuck you too..." He huffed back.

"What the fuck happened here?" Sebastian barged into the room with a bag full of food.

"He started it." Zack pointed to me while still laying down.

"Nuh uh." I argued like a child.

Without looking at Sebs face, I could tell that he was rolling his eyes. "I bought some food."

"I'm not eating." I stated.

"Why not?" Seb asked.

"Why would I wat when Katherine is down there starving?" I turned my head to look at him. He was staring at me, studying me.

"You won't last." He said. "You love food."

"Not if she's starving." I said, turning my head back to look at the roof. It was nicely painted.

"Common man, you can't starve yourself." Zack started. "Demons have a higher tolerance for it, you don't."

I shrugged. "I won't eat until I'm allowed to feed her."
