The Demons Tale

A Different Perspective

Authors note: This chapter will be from Bear's perspective of when Damion is unconscious for the few weeks he is as he heals.

As we take turns watching over Damion I can't help but to think if he will ever wake up like he says he will. I never understood why he does what he does. He protects us like he has known us out whole lives and how he looks at Steph I can tell he is in love with her but wont tell her. Perhaps he will have more courage when he wakes up. I hope.

Nyx walks in and checks on Damion, "Is Damon okay?" he asks with a hint of sadness and a lot of fear

"Yes Nyx he is ok. Just resting" I reply to keep him at ease.

"Okay good I just wanted to make sure." After he says that he walks away back to his mother.

To be honest I have never seen Damion this peaceful. He is always so alert of his surroundings it's almost scary. He is so serious half the time and I always want to ask him whats going through his head most of the time. A lot of it is just a small little thought but, even the smallest of thoughts can change a persons mood very quickly, even if they have been through as much as he has before. He has told me stories about his times when he was in the demon realm. But he never talks about it much and it saddens me because he has no idea that I have been through similar situations but as a mortal its harder to survive them. Only thing is that I had support in all of it and he was always alone and what he doesn't understand is that he doesn't have to go on alone another day. Steph, the wolves, and I all wanna stay by his side but, if he leaves there is nothing we can do about that.

I only remember one thing he told me, Never lose hope in yourself because it only leads to a disaster. Keep your head held up high and nothing will happen to make you lose yourself, I never forgot it. In mid thought Bumble walks in, "I'll watch him now Bear get some rest. Please. He will be fine under my watch. Rex and Regina are staying up with me just in case anything happens."

I have a worried look on my face but I just nod. Bumble has been there for me for 14 years of my life and protected me until I learned to control my magic so, I know she can protect my brother. Yes, keeping Damion close to me has its risks but, he's family and we can't push him away from us or he will be lost even more than he was before. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning I wake up to a large sound outside the cave and Rex lets out a loud yelp. I run out as fast as I can just to see the same man that challenged Damion the day before. Kroe was his name I believe. He starts to speak, "Where is the demon scum? I heard he didn't die. As you see I healed quick from my minor injuries but, an injury he endeared take at least a week and a half to heal for a demon. Where is he? Where is Damion?"

I come out of the cave, "Kroe I thought we rid of you. Apparently not. Now can you leave? Go back to your hole and hide and stop being a coward by killing him without a fair fight. Where would the honor be in that?"

He laughs, "I'm not a man of honor. I'm a man of blood and revenge. That's all I look for. Fair fight or not. I will get revenge on him even if I have to rip this world apart."

"He is nowhere here so leave Kroe. You aren't wanted here."

"So I have to kill you? I know you are lying. You are so much younger than I. I know you are lying girl." Kroe has his scythe materialize in his hand, "Unlike your wolf here this should be a battle. I can sense you are stronger than you look, well magic wise strength not all that great but, strong enough to put up a fight. I don't know if you will survive this. I guess we will see."

I glare at him and white balls of magic appear in my hands, "You wont survive this Kroe. I know every form of magic there is. Red, Black, and White alike. I will use them if I have to."

Kroe looks surprised but, shakes it off, "Your petty skills don't scare me. Red and black magic is all I need to know for my form of battle. Now, Shall we begin?" He runs at me while swinging his scythe at my torso.

I dodge his attempt by jumping into a tree, "Please remember Kroe, I grew up in this forest."

Kroe snarls and cuts the three down with a single swipe of his scythe. As I fall, Bumble slams into Kroe and they both get up as I land. Kroe throws Bumble into a tree across the field and she collapses, motionless. I get up in a lot of pain and run over to Bumble. "I think my job is done here." Kroe laughs as he disappears.

"Bumble..." I say as I am starting to cry.

Nyx walks over and sees his mother unconscious, "Is Mama okay Bear?

I look at Nyx with tears in my eyes and shake my head, "She's gone Nyx I'm sorry."

Nyx gasps, "No... She can't be!" He runs over to her and starts licking the blood off her face, "Mama! Wake up! You need to wake up!"

Steph walks over and pick Nyx up, "Nyx it's okay. Damion will fix everything when he wakes up. I promise."

Nyx whimpers, "But... I need m-my Mama..."

Steph buries her face into Nyx neck, "I know Nyx I'm sorry."

I get up, "We need to get Damion better quick or we are screwed for these next few weeks, and i know how."

Nyx jumps out of Stephs arms and runs to where Damion is and lays down at the foot of where he is laying and falls asleep. I look at Steph, "This can't happen anymore. We cant lose anyone else while Damion is asleep. I'm not planning on waking Damion up quicker I just said that to give Nyx hope. He has no concept of time so it wont matter anyways."

Steph shakes her head, "Nyx won't be up for a while. From what I know from the kind of wolf he is? He will sleep for days if it's minor. But this is huge. He will be asleep till Damion wakes up for sure."

I stare at the ground for a moment, "Then we have a lot of work to do."
