Love and Revenge

Chapter 17

Jade's POV

Everything eventually stops, it's still and quiet. I glance down at Dirk who looks to be unconscious. If it weren't for him I'm sure one of us would've been crushed. His wings have gone away and I look over to Dave who is starting to wake up.

I pick myself up and brush off the little pebbles and dirt that's accumulated on me. Dave groans and slowly gets up and removes some of the rubble so he can stand.

"How the hell did we survive a falling building?" He looks around and then notices Dirk laying face down. He lightly kicks Dirk. "Bro get up."

I make my way over to Dave. Dave kneels down next to Dirk and starts shaking him gently.

"Bro dude this isn't the time to take naps we got to get out of here." Dave shakes Dirk a little harder. He doesn't wake up. "Bro?" Dave moves closer to Dirk. "Dirk? Wake up." He says.

"Dave..." I begin but Dave persists.

"Dirk no you can't be dead!" He yells.

I realize that Jake isn't here and I don't see him in sight.

"Dave, see if you can get Dirk awake, I'm going to find Jake." I tell him.

"Good maybe he can help." Dave says on the verge of tears.

I start to look around then start to dig in the rubble.

Then I hear a short cough.

"Jake?" I call out. Nothing for a few minutes.

"J-Jade?" A familiar voice barely sounds.

I follow where the voice came from. Hey these dog ears are finally good for something!

I eventually find the origin of the voice to a enormous pile of rubble.

"Jake?"

"Over here!" I hear him yell out.

I run to find him under a really big piece of hell castle.

"JAKE!" I run over to him and look at the gigantic fucking rock that looms over him

"Jake are you hurt?" I ask.

"My leg is the only thing caught in the rock the rest of me got lucky." He replies.

I use my new magic to lift the rock off of his leg. He crawls out and gets to his feet, slightly limping.

"Where's Dirk?" He asks

"Dave is with him, he isn't doing too well."

Jake's face shows fear and shock as I tell him this. He gives me a nod telling me to lead the way. I bring him to Dirk minutes later and Dave looks up from him.

"He is not fucking waking up" Dave says, starting to get worried.

Jake carefully makes his way next to Dirk and sits down next to him. Dave comes over to me and I hug him.

"Don't worry Dave, I'm sure he's fine. He's always been fine."

Jake mumbles something and then gets back up and limps over to us. "Well I'm not a doctor nor do I know how much a demon can actually survive through but I'm pretty sure that no sign of breathing means he's dead."

Dave looks down at the ground and I pull him close. Jake remains quiet as Dave I do too and then someone coughs. We all turn to see Dirk slowly getting up.

"Dirk!" All of us practically yell.

He looks at us and rolls his eyes. "Aw come on guys you should know it takes more than a falling building to kill me."

Dirk notices Jake limping and immediately picks him up and carries him bridal style. "Fucking hell english I can't leave you alone for one second and you go and injury yourself."

"Dirk put me down, I can walk just fine."

"Yeah, not going to happen."

Jake crosses his arms and rolls his eyes. Seems like everyone loves doing that.

I glance over at Dave who is just completely still. I wave a hand in front of him and he blows up.

"STOP MAKING ME THINK YOU'RE DEAD! THAT'S LIKE THE THIRD TIME THIS MONTH!"

"You know I think it's very nice you care about me little bro but really you should be fine with me dead. I'll just come back and haunt your ass as a ghost. Even though those don't exist. But I suppose-" Dirk is cut off by Jake who's hand is on Dirk's mouth.

"Dirk, shut up and let your brother be mad. He has a right to be."

Dave is silent for a moment but then regains his cool kid persona. "So where do we live now Dirk?"

Dirk shrugs. "I'm going to go live in the shit cabin again, it was a nice place after all. You and Jade should like get one of those suburban houses you know with the white picket fence and shit. I'm sure Jade would just love to live with you since after all you two are deeply in love like Romeo and Juliet were except for the part where you'll die because of each other." Dirk then starts walking away with Jake still in his arms.

"Where are you going?!" Dave yells.

"Like I said, back to my shit cabin. Oh by the way Jade, hope you don't mind, but Jake's staying with me."

"Please take him I don't want to take care of his needy ass and broken leg."

"Hey!" Jake yells back at me.

Dave and Dirk both laugh and soon Dirk and Jake are out of sight.

Dave turns to me and he has this evil look on his face. "Hey Jade, want to beat them to the cabin and set it up with a bunch of pranks?"

"Hell yeah!" I then pause for a moment and shake my head. "How are we going to beat them there if they've gotten a head start?"

"Dirk will notice soon but he went the opposite direction of the portal."

"Well I suppose we should get a move on then." I giggle and Dave holds my hand as begin walking to the to the portal.

The End...
