Our short and sweet mini-vacation came to an inevitable end and we found ourselves pulling into the driveway of our house.

Glenda had come back with us, but she and Lyall went back to Lyall's place so we wouldn't have to go through the whole "we're a cute couple too!" Fights.

Of course when the Guild showed up not even a minute after they left, I was regretting coming back.

"Seriously?" I barked as the man practically broke down my door pointing a gun at Nyx who held up her hands in both surrender and confusion.

"It's time you face charges for the crimes you've committed." The man growled at Nyx.

Jenkins came through the door and pushed him to the side. "For the hundredth time, leave her alone!" He bellowed. "Nyx hasn't done anything!"

"Hasn't done anything?!" The man roared. "Ten people are dead!"

"Not by her." Jenkins assured.

"We were in DC all weekend." I explained. "She couldn't have killed anyone."

"Says the traitor sleeping with her!" He retorted.

"She was, I watched their car leave the city." Jenkins answered. "However you said she was collared."

"We were at her parent's house, so I took it off while we were there." I explained.

"Still, you said she'd be collared."

"She was!" I barked. "But I'm not going to leave it on to meet her parents."

"I mean, technically you did..." Nyx offered.

"Nyx!" Jenkins and I shouted getting her to shut up.

"She needs to be put down!" The man roared. "She's a demon, and all demons are worthless beasts!"

"That's not true!" I yelled. "There are a lot of demons out there just as good as you and me."

"You are not on our side!"

"Yes she is!" Jenkins barked. "She's helped us more times than I can count, and Nyx isn't killing people."

"No! No more chances!" He roared.

I heard the gunshot go off, but Jenkins pushed him to the side. Nyx put a hand on her side and winced.

"Nyx are you alright?" I rushed to her side as blood dripped from between her fingers.

"Yeah, I'm okay." she answered, though I was pretty sure she was lying. Hunter's use magic infused bullets that prevent demons from healing, and cause massive pain.

Jenkins punched the hunter in the arm, forcing him to drop his gun before he pinned him to the ground. "Are you fucking insane!? You don't just shoot people!"

"I'm insane!? You're taking her side!"

"Because she didn't do anything!" I roared.

"She's not the one who attacked without provocation." Jenkins growled.

"She killed people!" He bellowed.

"She hasn't killed anyone!" I yelled.

"Jenkins, step aside." I heard from the doorway. Jenkins stepped to the side in shock as a new man came into the house. He was wearing jeans and a leather jacket. There was three scars over his right eye as if he was swiped by a set of claws.

I instinctively stepped in front of Nyx to protect her, knowing exactly who the man was.

"Devin, please stop protecting her. You know she'll just hurt you in the end." He said.
