Fighting for the Lost (Sebastian's Daughter Book 4) (COMPLETE)

Chapter 11

Selena's POV:

I sat in Samantha's arms, scared for everyone outside. Finny and Maria were both out there, captured by Nathaniel and his demon friend. Dad and most of the demons that were here were all outside, trying to build up a small army. As for Alex, I had no idea what he would try to do.

The demon kept talking to me. "Selena, get out here! What are you waiting for? Do you want us to kill him?"

Don't hurt him! I screamed at him. Please!

"Then turn yourself over!"

"Selena, stop talking to them!"

I looked up at Samantha.

"The more you interact with them, the more likely they are to convince you to go outside. Stop talking to them. Do you know of any way to block them out?"

I nodded, then closed my eyes. Alex?

"Need something?"

I just need you to talk to me. It keeps the others blocked out.

"Well, what do you want to talk about?"

Anything, just don't pause for too long. I can't listen to them anymore.

I was on the verge of tears. I could sense my brother's sad smile. "Alright. Well, did I tell you about the time I met this pretty girl with long black hair, hazel eyes, and wings? She was about our age."

I smiled to myself. I don't think so.

"Well," he said, "we should change that."

Third Person POV:

By the time Alex was halfway through his story, he felt his connection between him and his sister vanish, and he knew she had fallen asleep. He wasn't quite sure if she had just been that tired, or if Samantha had done something, but either way, it was best for her. Alex hoped that if anything happened to Selena in her dreams, she would be able to fight it off. She was part demon, after all. She should be able to fight of a demonic force, right?

Alex moved closer to the door so that he could hear better. The voices were still a bit muffled by the closed door in front of him, but he was able to make out what they were saying.

"Stupid girl, answer me!" An unfamiliar voice screamed. "I will kill him. Get out here!"

"She's not coming down here," Finny's voice rang out. "You won't get to her."

Suddenly Finny cried out in pain. Alex winced.

"Oh, she's not, is she?" Asked the voice. "I can sense that she's sleeping. She's having a pretty horrible dream at the moment, though. She'll come if she hears you scream a couple more times, don't you think?"

Why is no one out there doing anything? Alex thought to himself. There were at least thirty demons out there. Were none of them going to help?

"Selena isn't coming," another voice spoke up. Alex didn't recognize it, but assumed it was another one of the demons that worked at the manor. "Just let them go."

"No," the voice said, and Alex could hear the smirk he was speaking through. Everyone was quiet for a long moment. Then Alex heard it, along with everyone outside, he was positive.

Selena was screaming.

Suddenly, the door burst open. Alex could barely see the blur of someone running through the main hall, following the scream.

Alex hadn't known that he could move that fast, but a moment later, he stood before the person who had been pursuing his sister.

The man was tall, as most demons were. His black hair was cut short, and he wore a black dress shirt and slacks. He seemed surprised to see Alex standing before him, but quickly regained his composure, and started to scowl.

"Get out of my way, boy, if you know what's good for you."

"I'm sorry, but can I ask why you and your master are so bent on murdering my sister?"

The demon's scowl lifted into a smirk. "So you're the boy he's been talking about."

"More than likely. So are you going to answer me, or do I have to repeat myself?"

The demon stood smirking a moment longer, then pounced onto Alex. Alex fought back, arms flying.

Alex managed to flip over and spread his wings. He flew up toward the ceiling, the demons still latched onto him, punching at him, trying to get him to fall. Alex kicked the demon off of him, who fell through the air and landed on his back at the feet of the other demons.

Alex glanced down at them, and saw Sebastian give him a nod. Alex immediately flew up the stairs and toward Selena's room. Once there, he didn't bother knocking. He ran into the room, and saw Selena crying in Samantha's arms.

Samantha glanced up at him and smiled in relief. "Is everyone alright?"

Selena glanced up, and when she saw Alex, she gave a sad smile. Alex walked over to her and hugged her.

"What did he tell you?" He asked her.

"N-nothing. I saw him kill everyone. I didn't know if he was showing me what was really happening or not. What happened?"

"Don't worry, everyone's fine."

"So when I heard Finny screaming....?"

Alex thought for a moment. Finny was fine. There was no reason to make her worry. "He's fine."

"It sounded and looked so real..."

"Well Dad and the others are taking care of the demon. As for Nathaniel, I'm not sure what's happening to him. He might have made a run for it once his demon ran inside."

"You can't stay here anymore," Samantha stated. "They'll come back."

"You're right. They're probably expecting us to stay. I'll talk to Dad and the others about it. They may have somewhere in mind." Alex moved to the door. "You two stay here until someone tells you that it's safe to leave."

Samantha nodded, and Alex left the room.
