Dustys PoV

Looking over my shoulder at a dark skinned Male, his eyes wide with terror as he stares at me, shakily holding his gun at me, the barrel pointed at my head. I feel my heart stop when I notice the markings on the side of the gun, the markings of a weapon that's able to kill me, watching as the dorm house door opens revealing Magnus and Beth who scream, the shooter flinching as he pulls the trigger.

The feeling of a burning hot bullet pierce my chest rather than my head, just as I fall, shea shoots the shooter in the head with a bow, the blow back of all of his blood splattering on the left side of my face as I fall to my knees "Ah shit!" Shea shouts as he sprints towards me, I hear Kaya, Katzuki, felix and Lucas appear behind Beth and Magnus "Dusty!" Magnus shouts as he falls to my side, I simply raise my hand, pulling the bullet out, my left eye's iris turning a jet black, the outline of the pupil a vibrant glowing yellow, as my other glows pure red, the blood dripping down over my entire left eye I stand, and as if an explosion had occurred, black and purple flames surrounding my body, my horns appearing "He's here." I say in a low warning tone.

Watching as a tall muscular man with various black markings appears, his silver hair pushed back to reveal his glowing scarlet orbs "No matter How many of my strongest men I send to fetch you. Your too powerful for them, Son." He says in his usual stern, Raspy voice, a smug smirk plastered across his face, the black and purple flames around me intensify till my entire body is engulfed in them "A new sword huh... I'm surprised you haven't found Talon yet." He hums as he looks at Nyx, I clench my jaw at the familiar name of my sacred weapon "You've always been my most shameful pride." He sighs, growling I walk towards him till I'm stood directly in front of him, the corner of my lips curling up as I stab him in the chest he stares at me "I'll see you around, Son." He says boldly before disappearing "It was a spirit dust.." Shea whispers, the violent aura that's surrounding my body increasing as my piercing yellow eyes turn a deathly Dark scarlet like my fathers, I can hear Shea's two hearts beat faster as he calls out in demonic language Rowan and Ilya's name, the two demons appear they stare at me, the black and purple flames of my power rising into the air furiously "so this is the infamous powers of the first born son to the demon king." Ilya breaths, snarling I stand upright "wrong! This is only about fifteen percent of his power!" Looking over my shoulder at a Pink haired female stood leaning against the academy "Who are you?" Shea asks, watching her walk towards me, she places her hand on my cheek, the vicious aura around me completely disappearing "the name is Ayla Keis, I'm a demon, Dusty never left my side till he went rogue." She says, feeling her wrap her arms around my shoulders my breathing slows "So your loyal to the king?" Rowan says as his ice appears around him she shakes her head furiously "oh hell no, I've always been loyal to this here idiot." She smirks as she pats my back "Encounter with your father?" She asks, nodding I pull back slightly, looking at Kaya who's staring at me I breath "Shea, take care of Ayla, I've got somewhere to be." I murmur as I walk away without another word.

Standing on the field, I clench my jaw as my hair covers my eyes I tilt my head back slightly "Look, I'm sorry I lashed out at you." Hearing Kaya's voice I exhale slightly "You think I'm just going to welcome the first born of the demon we're desperately trying to kill into the academy?" She asks as she walks towards me, I look down at the ground now "I get that you want to kill him and start a civil war but I ain't prepared to lay down anyone's lives just for your liking." She continues till she's stood right beside me "Well, say something!" She shouts, swallowing a lump in my throat as tears begin to stream Down my cheeks, I fall weakly to my knees, my hands clenching the ground tightly she stares at me "Do you think I wanted this life..." I manage to whisper, hearing her breath hitch I close my eyes as the tears continue to stream down my face, dripping from my jaw on to the ground "I hate him just as a much as you do.." I breath, my voice cracking as I struggle to breath through the crying.

Kaya's PoV

Staring at him as he cries, his hair covering his eyes but I can see the tears clearly, falling and hitting the already soaking ground of the field, the rain dampening his clothes and his hair, I watch as he grips at the ground fiercely, I didn't know what had came over to me, a few days ago I was shouting at him, telling him I never wanted to see him again cause of him being the demonic races first born prince, and now I was stood close to him, my arms wrapped around his neck as he cries into my waist.
I hadn't ever seen an emotional side to Dusty, to be fair I didn't know he had one, he's a demon and is quite honestly referred to as the most feared demon in the universe, it just struck me a whole lot when I watched as the first tear rolled down his face.

Dustys PoV

After I had cried all of my emotions out I stood with no words left to say, my yellow eyes dull with an emotionless expression, she looks up at me "Come back to the Academy." She says after a moments of thinking, staring at her I exhale heavily "Yeah..." I murmur, watching her nod I look up at the sky as the moon reaches its peak I glance at her before disappearing out of thin air.
