Our Demonic Spawn

Haze, Hailey and I were sitting in the stands while the others practiced their combat skills. Yunael was on my lap and clapping when Nyx would knock her opponent down. At this moment, Ash was on his back, so he swiped Nyx's leg. She flipped herself back up and stared him down. Yu's cheers distracted her, so Ash used the opportunity to kick her down.

"P-Punch!" Yunael clapped

"That's right, Yu." I kissed his cheek. "Though, I don't know how I feel about you being excited over that."

Nyx laughed before facing Yu and waving at him. Ash smirked and used a hand to pull her back up. Yu then began to nuzzle his head against my neck.

"I'm guessing it's nap time." Hailey chuckled.

"Ya, I should go put him down." I stood up.

"Kennedy." I turned to see Ajax approaching me. "Lily wants Yunael because she claims Kevi misses him."

"I can take him to her." Haze grabbed him. "Baby." She stated and stared at Yunael.

"Ooooooookay." I spoke.

Ajax's lip quirked up as Haze left with my child. He then tilted his head towards the arena. I shook my head since I wasn't really in the mood. He shrugged and went down since Onyx was baiting him to join. Hailey and I were chatting when Onyx shouted.

"Look! It's the assassins!" She laughed.

We turned to see the new additions on the balcony. I looked up and noticed the guy staring at me. He then looked away and pretended to focus on Onyx. The girl was enamored with Ajax, which was very weird. It's like he was the only one she could focus on. I wonder if Ajax noticed it or plainly ignored it.

"You claimed to be gentle and non threatening, yet annihilated your attackers." Zeli slyly commented.

"That makes me wonder..." Ash shared a mischievous look with Zeli. "Come down and demonstrate your skills."

"That's fine. We pulled a muscle." Paro shouted back.

"Then, massage it." Zeli grinned. "Come down."

"Nah, we wouldn't want to embarrass you." Paro smirked.

"I can assure that you will not." Ash stated.

"I wouldn't be too sure."

"Paro, I think we should go." Neal whispered to her.

"Already?"

"Ya." He glanced my way before moving backwards.

"Not so fast!" Troian came from out of nowhere. "You will participate. We are still running an investigation and you are not clear. We will be assessing your skills, so get down. Now!"

"Uh, we don't answer to you." Paro sarcastically spoke.

I snickered while Troian was beyond offended. Paro looked at me and grinned, so I gave her an impressed nod. Troian attempted to march up to them, but Ajax shot a hand up. Troian grumbled, but wasn't backing down.

"Fine, then! I demand Neal fight Ajax!" Troian declared.

"Go ahead." Paro giggled and shoved Neal forth.

"No." He adamantly shook his head. "I... I can't beat him." He hissed at her, but Paro was hysterical. "Paro!"

"Troian, I'm not fighting anyone. I'm correcting forms, not practicing." Ajax announced, so Neal released a relieved sigh. Ajax connected eyes with a giddy Paro. "Actually, I agree with Troian." Ajax spoke, but his eyes were trained on Paro to gauge her reaction. "Neal will spar against Nyx."
