the shadow demon 5

PoV Kill
"Gentlemen, we're here to discuss our next step in the hunt for the shadow demon and getting the boy he took back.", our uncle, Jack Strange, told us.

I nodded.

"How do we break the contract?", Till asked.

"What contract?", someone else wanted to know.

"Well, I'm guessing if he was able to take William, he already stole his soul and therefore has him under some kind of contract.", Till explained.

"It's simple.", uncle Jack said, "we kill the shadow demon."

"How will we be able to do that?", I asked.

"I'm glad you asked. There is a way to kill one of our kind. A weapon so powerful, we had to keep it hidden and will have to do so in the future, but for this matter it will be used. He will pay. ", uncle Jack explained.

After the meeting, Till took me aside.

"This isn't right. I have a bad feeling about this.", he told me.

"That demon took our brother and did who knows what to him. What do you mean, bad feeling?!", I huffed.

"I mean, uncle Jack doesn't really seem honest at all. Like there's more to this that he won't tell us." , Till sighed, running a hand through his hair.

I dismissed the thought and shook my head.

"We have been mocking the shadow demon for ages. This feels provoked.", Chill suddenly joined the talk.

"As if Jack wanted a reason to get rid of the shadow demon.", Till added.

"What are you talking about?", uncle Jack suddenly asked behind me.

"Nothing. They're just paranoid.", I told him.

PoV Victor
My heart had been so broken when my love left me; now I felt it healing.

It was actually healing. I was healing. All thanks to William. Oh, how much I adored him.

I had to take a risk now.

"William?", I asked. He looked up at me with a smile.

"Yes?", he replied.

"Would you like to...go home? For a visit! Would you like to visit your family?", I asked.

He looked stunned.

"Do you mean that?!", he asked.

"Of course. I know how much you miss them.", I smiled and kissed his cheek.

My little sunshine jumped up from his seat and hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around him.

"You can start tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up again at 10 pm.", I told him.

Suddenly he kissed me softly.  "Why don't come with me?", he asked.

"You know I'm not welcome among your kind.", I sighed.  Will kissed my nose, but nodded.

The next day I teleported him home.

PoV Will
I rang the doorbell with a grin. A servant of ours opened.

"Master William?!", she cried out.

"Hello Annie. Is my family at home?", I asked.

"Yes. They're at breakfast. Is that really you?", she asked.

"It is. But you can get my mother to check.", I smiled. Annie nodded.

A few minutes later, my mother came running downstairs. She immediately checked me with her magic, then she hugged me.

"William! What happened?!", she cried out.

"I lost my soul to the shadow demon, but it's okay, he's really nice. He let me visit you, but he'll pick me back up at 10 pm!", I explained.

"You lost your soul?", she asked. I nodded sadly.

"Will?", I suddenly heard Bill ask.

Mum had stepped back, so my brother could hug me.

I hugged him back carefully.

"Are you still mad?", I asked.

"Of course not! William, are you okay? Did he hurt you?", Bill asked, checking me for injuries.

"No, he didnt. I promise, he's a sweetheart.", I told him.

Suddenly Bill pulled my collar aside and yelled: "a-hah! What's that then?!"

"Bill, thats a hickey. The shadow demon and I are, like, a thing now.", I explained.

"That's crazy. Are you under a spell?", he asked.

"I don't think so.", he smiled.

PoV Kill
I immediately told Jack the news when I heard them.

The hunt has begun.
