Demon of my Demons

Twenty Two: Death and a Fallen

-Sirius-

I felt my blood boil as I watch my father and Uncle argue. This is ridiculous, they are acting like children. Children that didn't get what they want. Vetis and Lebara soon appear beside me, and I turn to them with relief that I have some company that isn't my father and Uncle. Vetis glances over at my Uncle, and I notice that she stares at him with a deadly cold glare. I watch as her eyes transform into her snake eyes, as they glow a bright yellow. I step away from her as her fingernails grew long and sharp, and her jaw grew before becoming unhinged. Sharp snake fangs pop out, and she's ready to bounce but I stopped her. Vetis turns and gives me an evil glare, but it didn't faze me one bit.

"Why did you sstop me?" Vetis asks as her snake tongue came out when she said stop.

"The Great Threat is my Uncle, and my father chooses now to tell me." I tell her simply.

"What?" Vetis asks shocked.

"I'm trying to figure out what to do. I mean he's evil, but he's my Uncle and he's only like this because of my stupid selfish father." I say gritting my teeth together.

"He kidnapped Cordelia didn't he?" Lebara asks quietly.

"Yes, but I'm going to get her back one way or another." I say glaring up at my father and Uncle.

Chax soon appears and looks at us all before laying his eyes on Vetis and her demon form. Vetis notices his stare and soon changes back into her human form, as she's not too keen on her demon form. I don't know why, hers is mild compared to the rest of ours. Actually, I would have to say Lebara's demon form is more mild than Vetis.

"I haven't seen you in your demon form in years." Chax spoke up.

"Shut up." Vetis says annoyed.

If they start fighting then I'm going to get pissed, because I've already had enough of it with my dad and Uncle arguing like selfish children. I probably should stop them, as this obviously isn't going to go anywhere but I still don't know what to do. Soon though Cristobal appears and he looks drained for some reason, my eyes widen as he I rush over to him as he looks ready to pass out.

"Cris? What happened?" I ask him worriedly.

He didn't get a chance to answer as he lost his strength and fell. I caught him quickly and set him down gently on the ground. I ignore the two arguing in the background, and put my focus on Cris. He doesn't look good, he looks pale and he's sweating like he just ran a marathon. His eyes are dull and his lips are chapped. I stare down at him and knew that he's dying, and knew that the elixir that Jessamyn gave him didn't help. Why though? Why didn't it work? He stood up, he became-he became alive and everything. Why is this happening to my friend?

"S-Siri-" Cristobal tries to say my name.

"Shh don't speak. It will be alright." I tell him upsettingly.

When demons die we turn to dust, similar to the way when angels die. Except angels have a chance to be reborn again, even if it's as an animal or a human. Since us demons aren't human nor angel, we don't have options to go to Hell or Heaven. Nor do we have a chance to be reborn. We don't even go to Purgatory, but weird enough only some of us go there. If your lucky enough you can go to Purgatory, and someone can revive you. I'm hoping Cristobal goes there, then I can find a way to bring my best friend back. I don't know how Demon gets sent there, but if you try to revive them then you need to give them a new body. As their body will turn to dust.

"Fa-fa-" Cristobal tries to say.

"What? Fa? What are you trying to tell me?" I ask now curious.
