Incubus

Chapter 26

(Asher's P.O.V)

Two weeks later...

I gasped for air as I opened my eyes to find myself underground. I shot my fist through the dirt pulling myself up. Anger rushed through my body as I looked around the grave yard. I closed my eyes finding my way back to my house. It was a wreck. And I mean everything. I heard a baby cry causing my eyes to widen. I ran up the stairs running into Caterina's room to find her in her bed. I picked her up feeling another presence in my house. I turned around to see an older lady standing with widened eyes. "A-Asher." She squealed shaking. "I'm not going to hurt you. Where's Henry? Where is Arabella?" I asked worriedly but with a very deep voice. "H-He took her t-to his pack house t-to train her to b-become one of then"She stuttered with tears filling in her eyes. "Please don't tell him I told you he said he would her my daughter and she's pregnant with my my grand-daughter" She cried loudly. "Your daughter will be safe I promise. Thank you for taking care of Cat. You're free to go" I told her as she nodded quickly wiping her tears away. "Thank you so much" She said with a huge smile hugging me tightly before running out.

I grabbed a play pin in my only free hand slowly walking down the stairs. I set the play pin down along with Caterina who was still crying. "Hold on sweetheart I know I know" I told her rushing into my kitchen. I made her a quick bottle walking back in to find her asleep. I sighed picking up my pillows and placing them back on my couch. It took me at least an hour to get my house back to normal. I asked my parents to come stay at my house for a few days to take over watching Caterina. I heard a knock on the door causing me to jump up and open it. My mom and dad were both smiling at me big as I looked at them with tired eyes. "Hi sweetheart" my mom said pulling me into a big hug. "Hey mom" I responded with a warming smile. They both walked in with their bags setting them down and closing the door. "Lets talk in the kitchen" I whispered before looking at Caterina. They nodded following me into the kitchen as I leaned against my counter top.

"Listen I don't know what the hell I have planned yet but all I know is i'm going to kill this son of a bitch" I told my parents pushing myself off my counter top. I poured myself a glass of bourbon chugging it down. "But I know I have to do this alone. It's my fight" I said staring at the floor. "See he-" "Hello everyone" Austin said walking into the kitchen with a smirk. "What the hell are you doing here"I growled mentally scolding him. "We sort of asked him to help you"My mom said with a not so innocent smile on her face. I rolled my eyes huffing and crossing my arms. "I need another drink" I said pouring more bourbon. "Well hello to you too brother. "Austin said walking closer to me pulling me into a hug. "Think of this as some early brotherly bonding. Like the good ole days" He told me patting my back and snatching my drink out of my hand. "There was nothing good about them" I stated rolling my eyes as he chugged down my very expensive alcohol.

(Arabella's P.O.V)

My fist slammed into the punching bag knocking the whole thing off the chain. "Bella let me take over" I heard a voice say causing me to jolt and turn. I looked in the mirror looking at my reflection. Her eyes were pure black and she was almost me. "W-Who are you?" I asked. "I'm you. Well almost you. Just let me in. Let's destroy Henry. Forever" She told me. "I-I can't" I told myself. "He took everything from us! He threatened our family. Our future with Asher. He hurt us. Don't let him again. Take my hand" She reached out. I furrowed my eyebrows together. She was right. I was right.I can't let him hurt me again. I grabbed her hand as my whole body suddenly grew hot. I fell to the ground as my vision grew blurry. I felt as if a knife was digging in my skin but I couldn't scream. My throat felt as if I swallowed acid and my skin felt as if it was being clawed off.
