Love and Revenge

Chapter 13

ANOTHER 4 HOUR FUCKING RIDE

Jake's POV

We arrive in Hollywood finally and the place is as busy as ever. However this isn't our final destination. Dave and Dirk both agree the portal is on the outskirts of the hollywood letters.

The car comes to a halt and I look at Dirk.

"We're here." Dirk says. He gets out and the rest of us do too except for Jade who's asleep.

"We'll be walking on foot from now on." Dave says while picking up Jade and taking her out of the car.

We start trekking through the big place of Hollywood and make it the mountain the giant Hollywood letters are on.

"Jake come here." Dirk motions for me to come over. I walk over and he picks me up unexpectedly.

"Dirk what are you doing?"

"I'm not walking up this stupid mountain. And I'm not leaving you to walk it either."

Dave's wings come out and he goes up the mountain and stands on top of the "H" in Hollywood with Jade in his arms. I hold on to Dirk as wings appear behind him and he flies up, landing on the ledge. He puts me down and Dave jumps off the "H" with Jade. Dirk walks over to a tree and rips a branch off. He then starts making symbols in the ground and Dave wakes Jade up.

"Dave get me one of my katanas."

Dave goes to a bag and pulls one out and throws it to Dirk who then puts the blade against his left palm. He cuts himself and squeezes the blood down his hand and it drips into the soil. Soon the symbols glow and he goes over to the bag, Dave got the sword out of, and grabs a cloth wrapping his hand in it. Lately his regenerative healing has been terrible, I hope he isn't sick. I immediately dismiss that thought since I know very well demons don't get sick, however something is wrong.

"You guys stay here until morning." Dirk says stepping back in the circle of symbols.

"What are you going to do?" Dave asks while leaning against a tree.

Dirk shrugs and then a glowing portal appears around Dirk. "I'll be back." With those words he disappears and a pulse of mist comes and surrounds us and just as quickly disappears.

"What the bloody hell just happened?"

Dave groans and facepalms. "Goddamnit!"

"What's wrong?" Jade asks sleepily.

Dave goes on and explains that Dirk has gone and left us to kill Bro himself. Dave stands in the middle of the symbols and tells me and Jade to stay here and wait. Dave takes out his sword and slices his hand. The portal comes to life as it starts to spit and stir. Dave runs over to me and Jade. "You two be safe, I gotta save my idiot brothers ass."

Jade hugs Dave and I wave to him as he steps back into the portal. He disappears and the portal is still active but it's starting to fade.

"I'll be back Jade. I need to help too." I grab the small bag with my pistols and ammo in it and run into the portal.

Just as it teleports me away I see Jade jump in after me. I try and push her out, not wanting her to follow and get hurt, but it's too late. The portal closes. My vision wavers and the ground and everything around me shakes violently. My sight blends together into a blurry mess and I begin to get a headache. Eventually everything stop shaking and moving and my eyesight returns to normal. I hate bloody portals. I blink a couple of times and take in my new surroundings. Yep, definitely in hell. It's not too different from our world except the sky has a reddish tinge to it and well there are dark and fiery caverns below the surface but besides that it almost looks like earth. I look around and see trees and the normal things of a forest around me. I'm currently standing in a circular stone structure. Seems to be an old portal and it looks like its inactive. Demons used to run portals like these all the time to the human world but hunters like me broke them ages ago. Although it seems the portals still work from both sides if you conjure one. I the remember Jade came in too and frantically look around. I then notice Jade laying on a stone path leading into the forest. I hurry over to her and make sure she's not hurt. Seeing that she isn't I relax a bit. After a moment her eyes flutter open and she groans as she sits up.
