Flames. \\Calum Hood AU ~ Third book//

Chapter Two

Alyx

I've not spoke to Ashton as of late. I let my feet take me to the group house. I felt really bad because I was close to everyone else but him.

I sent a quick text to Calum as after the attack he wasn't happy with not knowing where I was. I tied my hair up loosely as I neared the door.

I knocked on the door.

"It's you!" Jayden yelled opening the door. I laughed and wrapped my arms around her neck in a hugging manner. She smiled and hugged back.

"Hey." I smiled and let go as we walked into the house. "Is Ashton in?"

"He is but he isn't actually doing too well. He hasn't really left his room in the past week." Michael walked up behind Jayden and sighed. I nodded slightly.

"I'll go speak to him." I whispered and Jayden's eyes widened.

"No. It's too dangerous." She spoke in a rush. "Luke tried and Ashton knocked him out cold."

"I'll be fine." I laughed and walked up the stairs. I walked down the hallway to his room. I knocked on the door gently.

"Ashton?" I called out quietly. No reply. I pushed the door open and saw Ashton perched on the edge of his bed. He stared at his hands in horror.

"Go away..." His voice broke and you could hear the pain. I walked over.

"Ash what's wrong?" I asked.

"I said go away!" His eyes flashed a different colour and he swung for me. I caught his fist in time and stared him in the eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and held so much pain.

"Ashton Fletcher Irwin." I spoke with a firm tone. "Calm down."

The strength behind his fist disappeared as he let tears fall. I let go of his fist and hugged him gently.

"I killed her." He whispered.

"Who?" I stroked his hair.

"There was this girl I met the other week out in town." He whispered. "Something happened, I couldn't control my body anymore when I was out with her and I just killed her."

"Oh Ash..." I whispered quietly sitting him down on the bed. "Do you mind if I check something?" I asked. He shook his head tears falling. I closed my eyes as they turned black and made sure he couldn't see it.

I focused until I smelt the faint smell of demon. It was the one I cut the arm off of. I growled and felt my werewolf side want to go kill him.

I opened my eyes as they returned to normal.

"You were possessed." I whispered quietly. "Ash I know we don't talk often as we do with everyone else, but I can try something..."

"What is it?"

"I can try to bring her back to life..." I whispered meeting his eyes. "The demon who possessed you has her soul, that's all I need."

"R-Really?" He stuttered. I nodded.

"I can tell you really like her." I smiled softly. "If Calum asks where I've gotten to, please tell him I've had an unexpected business call."

"Okay..." he whispered as I stood up. "Thank you." He hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged back.

"No problem Ashton." I smiled wider. "I'll be back with her in no time, don't you worry."

With that I left the house and walked to the forest. I pressed my palms against the tree and was back into the realms of hell. I turned my werewolf senses on to track the demon, my eyes black.

I walked around for a while until I found him relaxing. I caught his eyes and he smirked.

"What's wrong flower?" He asked.

"You've hurt a friend of mine. Now I believe you have a possession of his." I growled and materialised my sword. His eyes widened. "And I want it back, and I will kill you for it you bastard."
