"Oh my gosh Ethan!"

May stumbled up and hugged him tightly. She didn't let go for a few seconds until the realization of what was going on hit her. She never noticed how cold she was, given she was almost kidnapped by a psychopath billionaire, until she saw her legs trembling and turning a light shade of purple.

"May, why isn't your body heating up?" Max observed her legs from afar.

"I don't know," a chill ran down her spine, "the doctor at the hospital told me I shouldn't use my powers until my body fully heals. Something about I'm still partially human and my soul is like an upgrade of some sort."

"Bullshit, nothings ever happened to you. They probably wanted to keep you in to figure out why you're so special." Emily popped up from behind a tree and limped over to her.

"Well my visions hurt more now than ever."

"Visions? You can have visions?" Ethan asked.

"Uh yeah, I can see what people are doing when I want to," she glanced away from him, "that's how I found you guys."

"We took her over here when she escaped that hospital. We were then attacked by that thing." Harrison pointed over to where Mammon disappeared.

"That thing was Mammon. He was looking for me just like the others. He was the same person that attacked me the night before our date."

Ethan and Grayson made short eye contact before looking back at the others. Max folded his arms and thought hard until a lightbulb went off on his head.

"That lazy son of a gun."

"What?" Grayson and Meghan both said.

"He's asking the others to do the dirty work because..."

"Because why?" Emily asked.

"He's the oldest brother in the family. They'd do anything for the eldest since they're an ancient family." May shivered.

Max snapped his fingers and smiled at May.

"That makes sense. But why's he being lazy? Isn't he prideful?" Meghan asked with a stern look.

"Yeah, he's probably thinking he's too high-ranked in the family to do that stuff." Max answered.

"May here's a blanket." Joan pulled a thick blanket from a small pouch around her arm. May thanked her and wrapped it around quickly, Ethan began rubbing his hands on her arms.

"Mammon mentioned the servant thing. He said the loyal ones became immortal but some had to get new servants cause they were becoming old."

  "That's why they went all the way to get an eleven year-old girl on their side, you train them early to set their loyalties on their side." Emily spoke up. Ethan began shifting uncomfortably behind May.

  "Just like they did to Lillian..." Max murmured.

  "Hey, where is that little twerp anyway?" Emily began looking around.

  "Clair!" Many began shouting.

  A small ginger girl came running from behind a bunch of trees.

  "I'm sorry. I stayed where you told me to stay."

  "Right, sorry," Max apologized.

  "Wait, I'm really confused. Why is that little girl here and what is this all about? Who's Mammon?" Harrison asked with a quizzical look. Max summarized their current problem quickly. The moon shone down the clearing and made all of their skin sparkle, the trees swayed and danced as a thick November breeze passed by them. Harrison took a deep breath and ruffled his wild hair, it was quiet for a moment before Ethan lurched suddenly forward to catch Clair as she began swaying with the trees on her spot.

"What's wrong with her?" Meghan shouted and covered her mouth.

"She's a hybrid, I suppose her parents were her sire. For a hybrid, they must have a sire, parent or their creator, to carry on and be loyal to. The demons killed her parents and tried taking her with them before she escaped. It's critical we keep her." Max began examining Clair.

"Ok Sergeant, but how are we gonna do that? Our safety bonds break once we are far enough from our compounds, where are we going now?" Emily asked.

"My-our parents." Ethan offered. Max snapped his fingers.

"We still have a safety bond to our parents.."

Max suddenly got quiet. The others stared and murmured something in agreement.

"Ok, but where do your parents live?" May puffed a chilly breath as she spoke.

"How are we sure this isn't a trap, he's a demon right? He's working for their side." Harrison snapped. Ethan looked up, offended, but Grayson stood his ground and puffed his chest out while holding a smirk.

"Trust us. We've been trying to... switch." He gulped and whispered as he said that.

"Oh really? Don't think you can fool me and Max. Might mess with the girls with your good looks but we know the truth. You probably are dating May just to get her to your little master to upgrade your rank, ambitious son of a-."

Ethan, with one swift move as if he had shadow traveled, held Harrison up to a tree with his elbow to his throat. Everyone moved forward and began pulling them apart, Joan thrusted a wand to the back of Ethan's neck, but Ethan was stone hard as he held his elbow to Harrison's throat.

"Ethan, leave him be..."

Grayson's voice trailed off as he smoke in Latin. Ethan hesitated, let go of Harrison and turned to his brother. Grayson smirked and raised his eyebrows, satisfied as he saw the look of betrayal spread across Ethan's face.

"SEE! They are plotting against us!" Harrison yelled.

"Harrison, shut up. We need them to know what the evils are doing. Plus, we've got a couple of high-ranked angels ready to beat their shit up if they even think about treason." Max turned and began walking away, tugging at his backpack strings as he walked off, "let us go troupe! We have lands to walk, seas to sail and evils to kick-ass!"

They all followed, Emily now walking better than before and Joan produced a silvery animal in the shape of an elephant for Clair to ride on. The rest followed them, May and Ethan walking side-by-side. After a while of silence, Ethan decided to break it.

"May I wouldn't-."

"No, of course not. Just know, I've had visions.."

Ethan's face froze and trudged alongside her.

So I guess they're on the run now.
