Chapter Ten

Alyx

I smiled linking my hand with Calum's as we walked into the group house and Eric froze.

"You wanted to take on Don right?" He asked me and I nodded cuddling into Calum's side stood up who wrapped an arm around me.

"You have two days, your demon power is running out," He paused. "Calum, you changed her didn't you?"

"I didn't mean to." He frowned and Eric sighed. That's when the lights went out.

Calum

"Mum!" Ruben yelled from upstairs and she was gone within an instant. I followed her a little slower to see a male stood facing Ruben. She growled warningly, pulling something from her bra. The knuckle duster.

"You're going to fight me with that thing? How pathetic, I trained you to be better." He smirked. Ruben stood, scared behind Alyx. 

"Want a bet?" She laughed and clicked her fingers, the outfit from the fight with Nigel on her.  Her eyes narrowed and she launched towards the tall male. Who held his palm out and shouted halt. You saw hesitation in her step but she continued running towards him, swinging but not making contact as he teleported. He was now in front of me. 

"Thank you loverboy." He smirked and grabbed me and placed me in front of him as she charged again, my eyes widened. She'd kill me.

"Trust me." She winked and teleported at the last second wrapping her arm around the guys neck from behind. I was dropped to the floor, and Ruben walked over, supporting me as he led me to the end of the room. 

--

The fight was continuing an hour later, but they were in the forest behind us. Alyx slumped down the tree, coughing up blood. 

"She's not going to last much longer," Ruben whispered, his eyes watering. That's when Eric dropped down from a tree behind Don.

"Don, you tried controlling both of us," He laughed. Don turned, his expression turned from cocky to scared.

"I should of killed you when we had the chance." Don laughed, his voice wavering. Alyx stood up slowly and wrapped her arms around the fallen tree beside her and hoisted it up. Eric smirked as the tree came towards Don who wasn't looking.

It was looking so positive. 

Until Nigel popped into the scene and started a fight with Eric, and made Don aware of the tree who held his hand out as it brushed against it and sent his palm towards Alyx. The tree now flying towards her. 

"Alyx!" I yelled and she ran towards the tree jumping last second, landing on the bark and running towards Don on the tree. 

Ruben was suddenly gone. 

"You ready Ruben?" Alyx yelled and he appeared beside her on the floor, as did Evan and they all stopped at the same time. Everyone's undivided attention on Don. He froze and collapsed to the floor. Alyx walked slowly. Her palm towards Eric and a sword appeared.

She landed on Don's back and you could hear it crack.

"Mum, I don't want to." Ruben croaked.

"Trust me, Ruben." She smiled and Evan rubbed Ruben's shoulders, which made the boys and I panic. I ran over, but I was too late. There was a bright explosion. 

--

Two minutes later the scene darkened. Don was gone. Blood everywhere. 

Ruben and Evan slouched down a tree. I ran to them and sat down.

"You guys okay?" I asked, panicked and they nodded.

"Just drained, we'll be good as new as soon as we feed." They smiled and I nodded.

"And Alyx? Ruben where's your mum?"

His face dropped and a tear fell. He pointed to a lump on the floor where Don used to be pinned down. Eric teleported over to it before I reached there and turned the lump over.

Alyx. Her skin paler than it used to be. Her eyes shut. A ghost of a smile on her lips.

Her arm was shredded to pieces.

"Alyx?" I croaked and fell to my knees. Her breathing was shallow and not often. 

"She's very very weak." Eric whispered, meeting my eyes. "What you just saw was her demon being released, it's a very strong thing. If the demon is within close range, it's usually a painless death for the person the demon's being hated the most. If it's not it drains the host, and its a tortured death for the other person."

"Why did she do it?" I whimpered, tears falling.

"It was the only way to kill the king of hell."
