Hell

Magic buttons and enemys

          Magic button? Does that do what I think it does? I think to myself as I walk towards the trap. "Well you wanna experience pain unimaginable to you right now?" I ask as I reach the trap. A sword blade goes against my throat and I see that four others with tiny wings were standing there. I sigh and press the button causing the machine to activate. He yelled out in pain as his ribs started slowly pulling out of his chest. One of the girls who was standing with the sword raised dropped it and yelled, "Billie NO!" She runs over to him and holds his head as the trap rips out his ribs showering her with blood. She runs over and grabs her discarded sword and swings at my head while yelling, "YOU BITCH!" Before I can even think to move her sword is blocked by the man who was standing next to Eryk and he stabs her through the heart. "Requiescet in peace, Talylor." He says and looks at the guy with a sword to my throat. "Drop it Charlie." The guard backs away and raises his hands. "Good boy." Says the guy that killed the girl. "Maybell, drop it." He says and throws Taylor's sword to decapitate the man standing by her. She throws her sword down and runs to stand by the man named Charlie. He then looks at me and hands me his sword and says, "Their fate is in your hands." "FRANK HELP US PLEASE!" Yells one of the girls as he starts to walk out of the arena. He looks over his shoulder and waves goodbye and walks out to sit on the bleachers next to Azazel who must of snuck in earlier. I look back to the two in front of me and smile at an idea that passes in my head. "I'll spare you two if you become this mansion's personal cleaners, cooks, and wine makers." I say knowing that the wine we drink is a bit different than what they are use to. They look at each other and say, "We'll do it!" I hear a laugh from the arena bleachers and look to see that Eryk is back with a package. "And where did you go?!?" I ask. "I went to my family's home and took back all of your possessions that they managed to steal... and also to take back the four and a half billion that they stole from me. We should get a call soon." He says as his phone rings. "Speak of the devil... Give me one moment." He pulls his phone out and wonders outside the cave for a bit. Three minutes later he walks back inside while holding his right ear. "I am never gonna hear the same way... Anyway she is gonna come looking for us and that is your chance to kill her. I don't care anymore. You are not the one that remembers what she stole from us... Well mostly from me..." He says with somewhat distant eyes. He shakes his head and throws down the package to me. "Those are all yours so just pick one of the dresses for the wedding." He says and walks out of the cave again. I open the box and find that this box has a large stack of cash and under the cash was a beautiful long strapless blue dress and a moon pendant. I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Matt. "I remember that dress and necklace... It was in a photo you sent me years ago..." He says. I stare at the dress and pendent and get no flashback of when I wore them. "That's strange... I don't remember ever wearing them..." I say. "Don't you normally remember the second you see them?" Matt asks. "Normally that is how it works." I say. "I don't know why I can't remember these..." I say, but stop when I hear an explosion outside. "What was that?" Frank asks and stands up. "Don't know, but Lucifer is silent and Grim is chanting." He responds. Ryan and Hanna run into the room and all, but jump down the stairs to get away from the entrance. "Whats going on?" I ask. "Demons invaded this area and slaughtered everyone, but the demons, trainees, Ken, Touka, Misty, Veronica, and Kevin." He responds and looks over his shoulder. I stare at him with disbelief that demons managed to overpower nearly 70,000 Ghouls. "The only other people to get away were the spirits we have living with us and Stacey since she was out of the mansion today." He says as another explosion rocks the cave we are in and I see immense amounts of blood slowly drip down the stairs leading to the arena. "I don't understand how even Eryk could hold off that many demons..." Frank says. "Well he kinda went into a bloodlust stage..." Ryan responds as a third explosion rocks the cave and a demon flies through nearly 80 feet of stone to land by my feet. I look up to see a glimpse of Eryk with white hair and green eyes before he flies away from the hole. "Ryan, just how close were you guys and Eryk?" I ask. "Well we all considered each other a family as he does with you guys, but in reality we could not be further from one." He responds. "So like us, the people that he said he would kill his own family for." Tod says as he walks in bloodied up. "Where were you?" Matt asks. "Unlike you guys, sniping the horde of a million demons." He responds and sits down on the steps. "How many demons?" Matt asks. "It gets worse. They are not low class demons. All of them are ranked medium or high." He says and puts his head in his hands. "I already killed 4,000 of them, but there are too many... I saw Austin get ripped into tiny pieces while Brian and Emily ran into a room... They might still be alive, but I doubt it." He says. "I thought you were one of the teachers for a reason! Why did you not kill more of them and try to save them!" Cody yells from across the room. "Do not presume to judge me! I slaughtered 4,000 of them and was nearly overrun and killed six times! I did the best I could trying to protect you!" He yells and punches a wall making it crack. Another explosion shakes the cave and the blood that was slowly dripping down the steps is now pouring down them. I see a man walk out of the shadows and put his hand on Tod's shoulder. "Chris was overrun..." He says and moves away from Tod. Tod sits by the wall and covers his head with his hands. I walk over and sit by him. Azazel spreads his wings and flies through the hole in the roof. Matt then walks over and stands by me as the blood starts to fill the arena. We stay in that position for a couple of minutes until a bloody Azazel falls from the roof with Brian and Emily in his arms. I look at him and see that one of his wings was broken and the other was ripped to shreds. Brian looks pale while Emily is sitting in a pose similar to Tod. Frank grows angry and walks out of the cave entrance. We sit there for a couple of minutes until we hear a voice say, "How the mighty have fallen. Look at the once great general and his host cower in fear." I look towards the tunnel entrance and see that there was the angel that led us around Heaven standing there. "What are you doing here Aloysius? I thought that you would of been in Heaven." Azazel responds. "I would have been, but I saw this battle happening and thought you could use help." He responds. "How can you help?" He asks. Another angel walks into the room and bows to us. "Meet Zachriel." He says. "Interesting, but he is no warrior." Azazel says. "That he is not, but he is the keeper of memories. If I remember correctly from what I learned from Michael after you left she has amnesia and can't be much use in a fight as of right now." Aloysius says. Azazel laughs and says, "Even if she regained her memory it would not help us in this situation. There are too many of them." Azazel says. "I can see that, but that's not what I had in mind." Aloysius says. "Oh and what did you have planned?" Azazel says as he leans back into the pool of blood. "She will regain her old memories, but he can also implement old memories affect." Aloysius says. "Tell me how many demons do you think it would take to kill two raging berserker's?" Azazel sits up. "That has got to be the dumbest plan I have heard. If she can't get out of that state of mind then we will have to lock her away and or kill her. Plus we already have the problem of changing Eryk back and he has enough strength to slaughter all of us with his fucking pinky." Azazel says. The man that was there before came back into the room and said, "Rian and Kevin fell." Brian looks at him with sunken eyes and gets up as I see a black mark spread over his arms. "Eryk is the least of your problems right now. If another of us falls we will absorb their power and demons into us and go into that stage as well." He says and I see that arm start to form into a shadowy claw. Azazel grabs his arm and studies it for a moment. "You lied about not being his family. That is the mark of his hunting clan." He says. "I was born into demon hunting and am a demon, what can I say. I have some problems about talking about my past." Brian says and walks out of the cave as the black substance continues to cover his body. I look at Azazel and he growls. "We will have more problems my ass." He says and looks at Emily who is not being covered in that black substance. "What was that?" I ask. "Around the tenth century Eryk founded a clan that hunted demons. Ever since I killed him his clan started changing. Around the 16th century they all became demons that hated other demons. Around the 1990s when Eryk came back and retook control of the clan he founded they became stronger and stronger, but they are a lot fewer in number than back then." Azazel says and looks at me. "That black substance was his true demon form coming out." I look at Azazel and he sighs. "You think every demon looks human? We use this form to not disturb the ever living shit out of you. A true form of a demon you may or may not remember was Nurgle." He says and the Angels take a step back. He looks at them and sighs again. "You know what fuck living. Put her memories back and send her into the rage." He looks around the room and summons armor for Cody, Sarah, Tabitha, Annabelle, and himself as well as weapons. "Tonight we dine in Hell." He says and walks out of the cave. Emily looked at me and drew a sword and pistol and walked out of the room. Tod stood up and his hair turned a light shade of golden. He pointed to the group in the corner and said, "Let's go. Time to show you why you don't question your teachers." He says and walks to push them all out the door. Matt looks at me, but walks over to Kalista who has been sitting in the corner and pats her shoulder. She looks at him for a moment then stood up and readied her sword while he got his spear and together they run after Tod. Zachriel walks over and puts one of his fingers to my head. "What once was stolen from you is returned Ashley. Kill all who oppose you and your family, but never forget who is in control." He says and takes his finger off my head as all the memories float before my eyes. A full minute passes of the memories blazing past my eyes until they settle on one, a constant need of blood. I feel the strength return to my body and I walk out of the cave in full control of my bloodlust, yet still having the power it always gave. I look at the field filled with the bodies of the dead demons that Eryk slaughtered. I spread my wings and fly to the roof where I see a field of bodies leading to a corner where Chris lay with his chest carved out. I land by him and close his eyes while the feeling of wanting the blood of whoever did this to my home and family grew until it became unbearable. I scanned the ground and saw Misty and Veronica about to be charged at by nearly a thousand demons. I felt my rage grow until I felt my teeth grow into fangs and I jumped to kill all the demons. I landed in the middle of the group and caused the ground to explode outwards with the sheer power of the landing. The exploding ground caused almost 300 of the demons to fly up 90 feet in the air just to break their bones on the Earth shattering impacts they made. I then proceeded to rip out the throats of the demons nearest to Misty and Veronica. I looked back to the demons that were farther away, but all I saw was a explosion of dirt and glowing green eyes followed by two giant black eyes behind him. I stare back on him and summon my sword. He turns around and flies out of the cloud of smoke and into a group of demons that were circling overhead. I look back to the black eyes that are still staring at me. The dirt clears and I see a decapitated head of a gigantic demon. I stare at it for a moment and finally notice the body which was laying on the side of the mountain. I look back to Misty and Veronica to see them digging through the wreckage of the wall for some reason. I walk over to them and ask, "What are you looking for?" Veronica looks over at me and says "Lili and David were buried under the wall in this general area." I sheath my sword and help them dig for five minutes until I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn to be punched through the other side of the wall. I look back to see a demon of about my size standing there. I feel my bloodlust rise as I charge back to stab the demon, but Veronica manages to decapitate him before I get to. We go back to clearing the rubble and finally find David and Lili. They are both unconscious, but alive. I hear another explosion and look up to see two figures falling from the sky. Eryk and a demon that might be the leader of this force. I continue looking at them fall, but the demon manages to regain control and kick Eryk through the top of the mansion and bring it down around him. I stand there waiting for the rouble to explode outward and Eryk to attack the demon again, but the rouble does not move after it falls. I get even more bloodthirsty and jump at the demon that buried Eryk. He turns to look at me with cold dead eyes as he gets a massive battle axe and almost manages to hit me. I slip past his first and second swing, but he punches me into the mountain with enough force to bury me 60 feet inside solid rock. When I manage to crawl out of the hole I see that the demon is staring at a demon of about the same size except the fact that it has a massive sword and not an axe. I fly to the ruined mansion and start to dig my way to the center. After six minutes I see that the greatsword demon manages to decapitate the battle axe demon and goes over to the ruined mansion and starts scraping away the debris. I look around to see that all of the demons were killed off and everyone that managed to survive was coming to me. The demon pokes my shoulder and points down the hole he dug out. I look down it to see an unconscious Eryk with ruined wings. Seeing that they were burned and torn into several pieces and crushed by the debris. I climb down the hole and carry him out of it as the demon starts to shrink and becomes Brian. I slide down the debris and lean him against the wall as the others come over to me. "What are we gonna do now?" Tod asks while leaning on his rifle as a makeshift crutch. "Well... We can't stay here and he needs help that we don't have..." I say and quickly run into what's left of the arena and bring the box out. "We have four and a half billion dollars to use and Eryk's phone full of contacts. Maybe one of them can help him better than we can." Matt nods and slings Eryk over his shoulder. "If he is unconscious and possibly in a coma then why did his hair not change back?" Lili asks. "I don't know..." I say and pick up the box. "Anybody have a place to go while we look for a contact of his that knows how to help him?" I ask. Tabitha slowly raises her hand and says, "We can use my home... The only problem is that I'm married and have three adopted kids." She says. I sigh and open the box and pull out the moon pendant. I look at it for a moment and put it on. I look at Eryk again and notice something I missed the first time. Along with his usual silver cross that he wore, he had a pendant with a dragon on it. "Well lead the way to your home Tabitha." I say. "How are we gonna get back to Transylvania?" She asks. "Well we do have four and a half billion to use..." I respond and she sighs. "Fine, lets go." I look around and raise an eyebrow. "Where's Ryan?" I ask. Veronica points to a hill where I can see a figure with a shovel. I nod and walk over with Matt. We reach the top of the hill as Ryan fills in a hole with dirt and starts stacking rocks on top of it. He looks at us and says, "The ten of us always agreed to bury each other in unmarked graves that only we could find." He says. "Won't people get suspicious of random piles of rocks?" I ask. "Who other than archaeologists would be interested in digging under rocks?" Ryan asks. I nod and say, "C'mon lets leave this place." He nods, but when we are about to leave he snaps his fingers and points to Brian. "Need your help with something, you guys keep going we will join you in a few minutes. Just wait for us at the train station." They run back towards the rubble and I shrug and keep going. We reach the train station just as Ryan and Brian run back with backpacks on. "What's in those?" I ask. "The rest of the gear from the mansion. So you can understand we were looting the unopened chests." He says. "So the gear was small enough to fill two packs?" I ask. "Not exactly..." Ryan says and runs past the corner to drive his pickup into our view and I see that eight of the chests are still on the back. "I thought you took the gear out of the chest." I say. "Could not get them open. Eryk is the only one that knows how to open them. Managed to get some spare daggers and rings however. Those backpacks are filled with extra mags and spare bullets I managed to find." Ryan responds and Brian runs around the corner to drive my chevy into view. "All the surviving weapons are in its trunk. Now get in. Eryk has a pilot on stand by every day incase something like this happened." I nod and run to the chevy. "Mind if I drive Brian? That is my car you're in." I say to him. "Sure." He says and hops over to the passenger's seat. Matt and Kalista join me in my car while David, Lili, Hanna, and Tod fill out in the pickup. Emily runs over to the chevy and gets on Brian's lap. "What?" He asks. "Nothing." I respond and drive after Ryan. "Wait, what about Veronica and Misty?" Matt asks. I look to see them standing there. "Go, we will fly on her dragon." Veronica says. "See you at the airport." I respond and drive after Ryan again. We drive in silence for a moment until I notice that Brian and Emily are crying on each others shoulders. "Brian..." I say, but he just keeps his head on her shoulder. "We were friends with them for years... Now it's only me, Emily, Stacey, Kevin, Ryan, and Eryk... It's been eight years since we were alone like this. Eryk found all of us and made us see each other clearly. Stacey was the first one to join him and Ryan... Then Kevin, Rian, and Veronica. Few weeks later Austin and I joined and a week after that Chris and Emily. Ever since that day we were always together... at least two of us at a time. Kevin and Rian stuck together because of their similar personalities. Chris and I were long time friends, but Emily and Stacey joined us. Austin, Vero, Ryan, and Eryk were inseparable because of their friendship... Just hard to accept that they are truly gone..." He says. I nod as Matt pats his shoulder. "We were born to slaughter and be slaughtered, Brian. We are the filth that wipes out other filth. You and I are the remains of a damned clan of demon slayers and we dragged down the others. Don't let their sacrifice be in vain, live on and avenge them from the filth that managed to steal their souls. Grow stronger only to slaughter the demons that plague on human life... Well that's basically all we are good for now. We the last two truly free demons. We are the ones that clean up the mess that Hell made years before. Before I pass out again remember our chant. 'You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everybody dances with the grim reaper.' I made it that to prove that no matter who joined the clan would understand that we are all equal, still people thought themselves above death... To tell you one secret that you would only learn as a grandmaster: demons and their hosts are immortal. We are the only ones that can dance with the grim reaper and walk away with our life." Eryk says and laughs a bit. "All of us were damned the moment we had demons planted within us,... but those demons are the ones that founded the clan with me and the ones that can truly be called immortal. And all of you here, remember to guard every item you receive from anybody, especially a demon. They normally hand you their life force or their allies life force. The more of these items you have, the closer to immortality you get..." He manages to say before he passes out again. I look over the seat at his smiling face, but his eyes are still hidden from me by the white hair. "What did he mean by that?" Emily asks the now stiff Brian. "He meant that all of us were immortal for having demons inside us or in our case being demons." Brian answers. I slam my foot down on the break to avoid crashing with a car that was speeding on the freeway. I lower my window to yell at the driver, but am left dumbstruck by who I see. "What the hell are you doing here, you blasted whore!" Eryk's mom yells from the other car driver seat. "Whore? Bitch have you seen your driving or your dress for that fact?" Brian yells. "And who are you to talk to me like that hussy?" She yells back. "Excuse me! I am not a woman or a seductress seems you the hussy in that dress. Old women should not wear something so... revealing." Brian says back. "Fuck you! You are an undignified pathetic worthless excuse for a boyfriend if you have a girlfriend and I assume that the whore on your lap is your girlfriend." His mom says back. "Why I've never heard such a comment from a more repulsive old hag!" He yelled back. "Why you ungrateful... Ah never mind. Have you seen my pathetic excuse for a son, whore?" She asks me. I look at the back seat and see that he is sitting up with his eyes covered by his hair, but a mad smile on his face. "Why would I need to tell you where I am? If you do not remember correctly you disowned me a year ago." He says and gets out of the car. "I never did such a thing. You spread rumors to ruin my re-" "Shut the hell up for once. You already ruined my childhood, ruined my college years, and now plan to ruin the rest of my life? I will not allow you to ruin my family anymore." He said cutting her off. "What are you saying you drunk mess? I am your family! Without me you would have never been born!" She yelled. "And without you I would not of had to suffer this life." He responds and lowers the collar of his shirt to reveal the carved letters in his skin. "You are a dumb fool for getting that tattoo!" She yelled. My rage exploded and I started to exit the car, but Matt stopped me. "Let him handle it." He said. "You must be blind to think this is a tattoo, old cougar. I am nobody's family, but the ones I love. You are not one of them. For 28 years you have tormented me and for 28 years I put up with it. Not this time. You insulted too many of my actual brothers and sisters. You are a dumb old whore who needs to take her frustration out and result to stealing money and a dress from a son that you thought would never make it in the world with any job other than a garbage man. No longer will you insult my family." He says. "Well if that is the family you rather have go ahead you bad copy of Magic Mike! Let that whore and her fucking bitches ruin your life until you come crawling back to me and beg to have the option to be part of our family again!" She yells. I hear laughter. Not normal laughter, but the one when someone is about to do something psychotic, come from Eryk. He walks over to the car and punches the hood of it, his hand going through the hood and I assume the engine. He then draws his custom .90 caliber revolver and points it at his mom's head. He smiles even more and tosses it in the air so he is holding the barrel and points the handle in my direction. "I know that you were really struggling to keep your opinion to yourself. So you get to tell her your mind one last time and decide her fate." Eryk says and looks at me, hair finally not covering his eyes and I see that they are a deep mix of gold and red. I stare at him for a moment then grab the gun and step outside the car. "What the hell do you think you are doing you slut? Think I am scared of a fake gun? I can tell that thing is spray painted to look real!" His mom yells. Eryk laughs again and steps back. I look at her for a moment then say, "For once in your fucking god damn life can you not call me that. I am not a fucking whore either you bitch of a wanker. I have had enough of your fucking insults. I wanted to fucking end your life so many times, but because of Eryk I never did. This gun feels way too real to be a fake. I was fucking gone away from your son for two years and in one of those years you disown him for what reasons, filthy old pruny cougar. You think you fucking own him and you don't. You think it is okay to fucking steal my dress and pendant. I think not." I say. "Why I'd never, to steal from a poor little miss like you would be a stain on my honor. I would not steal from you even if my life depended on it. You have nothing for a form like mine. I was the prettiest girl in my high school. Your little punk ass has nothing on me." She says and I hear Eryk laugh and hold up a page in the yearbook with his mom in it. "I could fucking care less what your own thoughts are about you. Looks according to your yearbook you were the ugliest one in your high school. As for me I was the most feared and prettiest. Hell I was fucking the most feared for four years and then in college I remember being elected the most feared female on campus. So tell me again that I am nothing compared to you on a matter that fucking doesn't even matter when your fucking miserable life is on the line." I say and pull the hammer back. "Ohh I'm so scared of the toy gun. I have seen better looking props in a cartoon. You should spend some money on actual movie props instead of little plastic shit like that. As for Eryk, I did disown him. Looks like he became your bitch as well. Well I never expected more from a mistake. I should've sent him off to be adopted when he was born." His mom says. I feel Eryk walk up behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Time to decide her fate." He says and leans to have his head on my shoulder. "You have three options. You can pick one of them, but I will not tell you what they are until you pick. So is it option 1,2,or 3 that you want." I say with a dark and evil smile knowing what all the options entail. "I pick option 2." She says. I smile and say, "You just doomed yourself for the ultimate torture by me and my favorite Ghouls and hellhound." I say with a very dark and twisted smile. I walk over to her and break one arm and one leg so she can not escape as easily. I then turn to face Eryk and say, " Got any organs I can use to tie her up with? The more rotten the better." He smiles and disappears for a moment and comes back with an old corpse. "What? I have an undertaker friend I know my shit on which corpses did not have their organs removed yet." He says and drops the corpse on the hood of the car. I go over to the car and begin to pull out the organs. After I have them all I walk over to his mom and drop some of the organs on her and begin to tie her up with the others. "MMM....I think she would love the taste of a rotten heart to match her cold one, don't you say guys?" I say as I shove the heart into her mouth. Most of them look like they are going to throw up, but Eryk and Matt nod in agreement. I use the small intestine to bind her hands and feet together and use the large intestine to bind her arms to her body. Just to be cruel and mean I shove the rest of the organs between her and the large intestine. I go back over to the corpse and ripp off the top of the skull being able to see the half rotten brain sitting in it. I smile and say, "What a lovely hat for a old hag." I then turn and proceed to walk back to Eryk's mom who is tied up on the seat of the car. I put the brain on top of her head then turn back to Eryk and say, "I am going to enjoy her slow death in my torture methods." I then pick her up and just to see a good reaction throw her in the back of Ryan's truck. "Before you try those methods we might wanna leave this country before I black out again and can't order the pilot to fly us wherever we need to go." He says and sits back into the car. I look between his mom and the car and even though it broke my heart to leave the deed unfinished, I got into the car and continued driving. We arrived at Eryk's hanger and he and Tabitha went to give the pilot's their directions. I walked to the back of Ryan's truck to see if our special guest was alright on the bumpy road. She managed to spit the heart out and yelled, "Sadistic!" When she saw me. "I will report you to the police if I ever get my hands free! You are fucked! Fucked!" She yells and I sigh. "Looks like the little baby forgot her binky." I say and shove the heart to fill her mouth. I help Ryan carry the chests onto a plane I did not know Eryk had while Tabitha all, but dragged the nearly unconscious Eryk onto his black jet. I go back to Ryan's trunk as he gets a jerry can of fuel. I pick up his mom and throw her in with the luggage and see Ryan pouring gasoline over his truck. "Why are you doing that?" I ask. "Leaving no evidence behind. Your car did not have a kidnapped hag in the back." He says and throws a match on his truck, setting it aflame. "How long did you have that truck?" I ask. "To be honest, I don't remember how long I've had it. Always seemed to be there when I needed it." He responded and walked onto the red plane where Lili, David, my two slaves, Misty, and Veronica went. I stood there for a bit then got on the black plane and sat down by my handsome pillow. Matt and Kalista fell asleep while hugging each other while Tod and Hanna sat by us. "So what happened to Elizabeth?" Tod asks. "I don't know, thought she went on a competition in Germany." I respond. "Ok, I'll be looking for the others that were not at the mansion." He says and gives Hanna a quick kiss before falling asleep. "I just don't understand two things." Hanna says. "What are they?" I ask. "Well how in the hell did a legion of demons know how to find us and I thought that Eryk went into berserker's rage and attacked everything in sight yet through my scope I saw him look at you and fly off. Even you attacked him in berserker's rage before." "I don't know why he did not attack. I saw him stare at me with eyes that would murder anything within the next eight miles for fun yet he stopped when he saw me and attacked another group of demons." I respond. "How do you know it was berserker's rage?" Eryk asks with his eyes still closed. I stare at him for a moment and realize that Allette did mention a different rage that when Eryk tortured the incubus. "That's right my lovely general. That was not berserker's rage, but something much worse to the enemy. I got very pissed off." He says and drifts out of consciousness again. "How does he pop back into consciousness when we need an answer?" Hanna asks. "I don't even know." I respond as I feel a hand move onto my hip. I rest my head against his chest and feel myself fall asleep to the beat of his heart.
