The Demon Inside - REWORK IN PROGRESS WILL BE NEW VERSION SOON

Part 26

~one month later~ 2014~

Jorel p.o.v

Tonight, we are going out hunting. I take a glance at Danny, he doesn't look well at all. After the show we played last month he suddenly got really sick. He now spends most of the day in bed sleeping then seems to be fine for a little while after he wakes up then gets worse before he goes to sleep. George has been trying his hardest to help Danny, but he hasn't found a way to help the poor youngster. He hasn't seen anyone with the same symptoms that Danny has. We just have to treat his symptoms as best as we can while he is suffering them. Like if he was to have a high fever, then we would put him in the bath and cool him down. If he was in pain we'd make him rest to try and help him feel better. I'm so worried about him.

I wrap my arm around his waist tightly, trying to let him make me take most of his body weight so he could stand okay. "Let George take you back to the hideout. We know you are ill, we can see it. We can always take you out hunting when you are feeling better," I tell him. Danny shakes his head and stands up on his own a little more. "No, I'll be fine. Maybe the hunt will make me feel a bit better," he replies. Damn my stubbornness have rubbed off on him. Maybe I am also seeing some of his independence from having to basically raise himself most of his life and trying to survive through difficult scenarios that keep popping up like Aron attacking him, developing new powers and even his ex-girlfriend threatening him.

"Okay, if you are sure you're going to be fine Danny. You can always let us know if you want to go home," I tell him before we find our targets to get essence from. "So, I take it Danny is being stubborn," George asks me. "Yeah he refuses to let you take him back to the hideout. Maybe I should have forced him to stay behind," I reply. I let go of Danny's waist and I could tell that Danny had some of his strength back, but not all of it. I am still worried, but there is nothing else I could do about it Danny won't go home. I'll just have to keep a close eye on him throughout the hunt and make sure I can take him home in one piece. The last thing we need now is something to go horribly horribly wrong before we go.

"If you said no then he might be God knows where trying to find us. Here we can keep at least five pairs of eyes on him at all time. It may be really worrying now but it will be better for Danny in the long run," George tells me. He was unfortunately telling the truth, having Danny here and having everyone keep an eye on him is better than him at home or wondering around god knows where. "I know George, but I can't help, but feel like something is off tonight," I tell him. Soon we are done with the hunt. We make our way out of the new orphanage. My worst fears came true. Aron, Truth, Yumma and Arina are all there blocking our exit. I don't feel confident enough to shadow-travel Danny out of here back to safety in the state that he is in.

I make sure everyone stands in a formation where Danny is the most protected. It is highly likely that Aron knows Danny is a siren and wants him to complete his collection. "Well, well, well, my night has just been made," Aron says, it was a comment that made everyone roll their eyes at him, even Danny. They had even more brainwashed minions who were walking in, this was not the best place for a fight. "Oh, really Aron, it's going down," I tell him, my voice dangerously low. They attack us first, I am made to fight Yumma first. He is easier to fight, I am stronger than him. Aron would have been a fairer fight to be honest. George was fighting Truth and we both defeated them easily, so we could help the others and keep Danny away from them.

Dylan's made it his mission to protect Danny who is looking worse as the fighting goes on. He isn't fighting any one and he is against the wall. He looks like he was either going to be sick or pass out at any moment which wouldn't be good. I make my way over to get Danny out of the fight. Maybe I could get Hayden here and smuggle Danny out and he would have the leader of our kind protecting him. I decided as the minions started trying to tackle me to the floor that I would snap their necks. They would die for picking the wrong side. Arina stands just next to the shadows, out the way of the fight and not cheering anyone one. that could be useful for me, I could do something with her that close. Dylan is really starting to struggle holding back the minions and keeping Danny out of harm's way at the same time.
