If you read my letter.. basically you'd know whats going on. The scene is set at the beach, where Lily has just claimed that Jake was about to hurt me.

"Well, you where taking out a knife." I say.
Jake reaches behind his back.
"This one?" He asks.
"Well damn.. now am I suppost to know wich knife you where taking out?" I ask
Jake is suddenly infront of me and has the knife pointed at my stomache.
"Why did that girl try to protect you? WHO is she?" He asks angrily

"She-she- she's Lily.." I say.
"WOW A NAME!!! Such important information!" He says sarcastically.
"Where does she live and what are her parents names?" He asks.
"I -I -I don't know!" I say.
I look down at the knife.
It was already slightly poking into my stomache.
"You where talking about regretting something. Regretting wh-"
Jake gets pushed down onto the floor.
"Get that knife away from her!" Lukas says angrily. His eyes turn pitch black. Jake growls.
"You're fucked up." Jake says and slides the knife into Lukas' stomache. Lukas screams out in pain. I attack Jake angrily, my hair turning red. Jake punches me in the face. I take out my pocket knife. Jake's eyes widen and he jumps away from me. He moves about 5 metres away from me. I look at Lukas. He was clenching his stomache. I look back at Jake. Jake suddenly runs to me and takes my knife. He shakes his head.
"No knives for you." He says.
He puts it somewhere behind his back.
"Your worried about me having a knife?!?" I ask.
I  quickly run to Lukas and look at his stomache. I slowly remove the knife as it burns my hand. There is no blood on the knife. Smoke surrounds Lukas and he gets up.
"Im fine.." he says.
He was still cluching his stomache.
Jake looks at Lukas and back at me.
Lukas walks towards Jake.
"Jake.. stop.." Lukas says weakly.
Jake looks at Lukas.
"One more step.." Jake threatens.
Jake steps backwards, getting closer and closer to the water. I realised what he was doing but it was too late. Lukas had moves foward and Jake grabs Lukas. He throws Lukas into the water and jumps on top of him.
Lukas shrieks in fear and his eyes turn into a bright blue. I run into the water and dive in.
I grab Jake and try to push him off Lukas. Jake growls and pulls out my own knife. He cuts into my orange tail, deeply. Lukas suddenly stops moving. The water turns pitch black.
I couldnt see clearly anymore..
Something pulls me to shore. And sits down on my tail. My vision starts to clear. I could see the 3 wolves. I look at my tail. Some scales where scraped off. The smallest wolf sits on my tail.
I desperatly wanted to save Lukas but the wolf wouldnt get off my tail until it stopped bleeding. The wolf gets off my tail once I stopped bleeding. I crawled to the water and swam down deeply. Lukas was at the bottom, on the sand. His eyes where wide open but he wasnt moving. I grab him and pull him to land.
I grab him onto the sand and dragging myself at the same time. Lukas isnt moving. I move closer to him and press his stomache. He coughs out water.  His face is pale an his eyes are closed. He breaths heavily. I was so happy he was alive.
"You're alive!" I exclaim and I hug him. Lukas stiffly breaths in. I see Lily in the distant.
"B-behind you!" She shouts.
Lukas' eyes open and time stops.
Lukas slowly gets up, clutching his stomache.
"I urgh- I" he says.
Time starts again and Lukas grabs a knife that was thrown at him. He throws it back and I hear an "Umphfh".
I look back to see Jake with the knife in his shoulder. He is sitting on his knees. Lukas gets up slowly and grabs a towel from my bag.
He throws me the towel and collapses.
"Lukas?!" I say worriedly.
"I'm o...oka..okay." He says.
I dry myself up and get another towel from my bag. I quickly walk to Lukas.
"No you're not." I say.
Lukas slowly takes my towel. He was still soaking wet.
He  pushes me a bit to the side and throws up on the sand. He clutches the towel to his stomache and softly whimpers.
I sigh and take out my phone.
"I cant take you to the shelter.. so give me a second." I say.
I dail a specific number.
"Hello, Lenny's rent an apartment service, how may I help you today?" A voice from the other line says.
"Hello, I would like to rent a 3 bedroom apartment." I say.
"Lower class or higher class?" He asks.
My money was very limited.
"Lower class" I say.
"Alright ma'am full name please."
"Jessil Oceons."
I twitch.
"Alright miss, your apartment will be C12. Please come pick up your keys as soon as possible."
"Thank you sir."
"Have a nice day!"
He hangs up the call before I could reply.
Lukas looks at me, still clutching the towel to his stomache.
I slowly take the towel and wrap it round his shoulder. I walk to the apartment with him.
(I dont know where Jake had gone by this time, honestly.)
I collect my keys (and my spare keys to give to Shirley) and open the door.
"You need rest." I say, trying to keep calm.
"Jess.. demons can't sleep. I cant sleep." He says.
"Just.. you still need to lie down."
I grab a bucket and put it next to the couch.
Lukas looks confusedly at the couch.
"Is anything wrong?" I ask.
Lukas looks at me.
"I'm gonna---"
He quickly grabs the bucket and throws up in it.
Lukas sighs.
"I feel like im going to faint--"
Lukas faints.
I put my hand on his pale face.  I accidentaly create water from my hands and it immediatly wakes him up.
His eyes quickly turn blue.
His eyes screamed fear.
"Why did you do that?" He asks, clearly afraid.
"I'm - I'm sorry Lukas.. I didnt mean to." I say.
Lukas' eyes are focused on me. He looked like he was afraid of me. I hold my hand out to help him up, but Lukad just looks at my hand  and lays his head on the floor.
"Lukas.. How do you feel right now?" I ask.
I walk to him and sit down next to him.
"Speak to me.. im worried about you." I say
"I don't-"
I quickly move the bucket to him.
"I didn't think demons could get sick--"
He gags and grabs the bucket. He breaths in deeply and throws up.
"I guess they can.. But I didnt think sea water could make somebody this sick" I say.
I stop to think.
"Did you swallow anything else from there besides sea water?" I ask.
"No I dont--"
Lukas throws up in the bucket.
"Im no expert..." I say.
Lukas sighs.
"I want to sleep." He says.
"I wish you could." I reply.
Lukas closes his eyes.
I needed to help Lukas. But I didnt even know if demons can get sick in the first place. I had to talk to an expert.
I had to talk to Raven.
