"He'll be fine, he's strong" Mephisto tried reassuring me but refused to look down, now being held bridal style in his arms running through the courtyard of the school. Weakly lifting my hands to my face and wiping the tears away, i believe in him. "(Y/N)!" I turned my head upon hearing the familiar voice shout my name in concern, "Rin!" His sword in hand while we stopped and waited for him to reach our side. "I'm coming with you" "Rin, i don't want to get you involved" His pale hand reaching out to wipe the sweat from his chin, smiling proudly. "I was involved the day we became friends, we demons are in this together. Now lets go" Mephisto chimed in with a serous tone, obviously caring for his brother's safety. "You are aware they'll hunt you down as well as us?" "Yes, i promise to protect her and your child" I had never seen him so serious and determined, blue eyes full of compassion. "Alright, keep close" Once again running to the edge of the forest district, entering without looking back. "Mephisto, am i going to die?" Now turning his gaze on me, "Never, i wont allow you to" smiling softly at his remark knowing he would do everything in his power to protect me, but a part of me knew what was best. It'd be better if i were to die now instead of bringing them all down with me, i'm a burden. "Catch them!" They had caught up to us, trailing behind. "I'll handle this! Go!" Mephisto stopped running, watching as Rin headed towards them stopping them in their tracks and pulling out the Koma sword, large blue flames engulfing his body. "It's no good, he cant kill humans. His heart is too weak" The demon holding me spoke, watching as the younger boy hesitated. Immediately being disarmed by the exorcist ambushing him from behind, swinging around and slashing the mans face with his claws, the man letting out a blood curdling scream while attempting to stop the blood pouring out. Rin was caught off guard, too busy focusing on the one man to notice the thin swords piercing both arms, screaming in pain as the blood seeped down his arms and dripped off his fingertips. Soon passing out from blood loss and being dragged away, the majority of the exorcists left turning to us and charging. All the while i cried in mortification, watching my friend be injured and dragged away to later be executed. "Rin, i'm so sorry" I whimpered out while burying my face in my hands, Mephisto beginning to take off again. "Don't cry for him" "Why!? Am i not allowed to grieve!?" "He wouldn't want you to cry, you must be strong (Y/n). This is the cruelty of the world" Drying my eyes once again with my jumper sleeve, staring at the trees passing by. "Mephisto it hurts" "It will do, your grieving" "No, my stomach hurts. Badly" His pace slowing, looking at me with concern.

"Hold on a little longer, okay?" Nodding in agreement trying to distract myself, "Mephisto stop! It's the angel!" pointing towards the blonde man standing in our path, his sword ready to strike. Red boots crashing against the grass to stop our movements, standing a few meters away from the angel and the many men behind him. "Arthur, did you not learn your lesson the last time?" "I'm stronger now, demon. And i wont let you endanger us all with that child!" Lifting his sword to point at me, "I should have killed you back then" his words causing my heart to tighten in pain. Mephisto noticing my melancholy and shooting the man before us a glare, "You wont win this" "I'm afraid we've already won" two of the men standing behind him pushing past and throwing something towards us, my mind completely blank and eyes wide. My heart ripped apart right there and then, the grip Mephisto had on me tightening. Amaimon's motionless body toppled forwards and rolling on the ground, laying at our feet. Bruised, battered and bloody corpse mangled out before us, a large gaping hole piercing his stomach from where a large sword had been plunged deep within him and retracted. The emotionless demon holding me placing me down on the ground to lean me against a tree trunk, pulling away and walking towards his little brother. Sweeping up the younger in his arms and kneeling beside him, holding his lifeless body close. His pained expression bringing tears to my eyes, the demon whispering with a croaky voice trying to hold back his sobs, "You did well brother" gently laying him back on the floor placing a soft kiss to his forehead. Standing to his full height, his eyes dull. "I'll kill you. I'll kill you all!" casting one spell and they were all knocked down, staring up in fear at the tremendous amount of power he was possessing in the human body.

Why? Why is this happening to us? Why!? What the hell did we do wrong? We don't deserve this! I lost my parents, Rin, and i lost Amaimon, is this not enough!? You have to go after my husband and child, i wont let you take anymore from me. Never! I could feel my body heating up and a rush of power and pain surge through my body, wobbling side to side as i stood. My arms hung limply beside me feeling an excruciating pain shoot through my fingertips and body, i noticed the color black spreading across my finger nails as they grew longer and sharper, turning to claws just like Mephisto's. My hearing becoming more sensitive and a shooting pain pulsing through my gums, something sharp grazing against my bottom lip on both sides, the slight taste of blood lingering on the tip of my tongue. My vision was engulfed by something blue and it was surprisingly warm, the exorcists pulling their gazes from Mephisto and onto me. Sheer fear seeing me approach them with unsteady steps, my head tilting to the side with emotionless eyes, tinted bright blue and red. Something sneaking out from underneath my shirt and swaying behind me as i stopped in my tracks. Casually lifting my arm pointing at angel, lunging myself forward and wrapping my hand around his neck squeezing until his face went red. His blue eyes were staring back in mortification and face screwing up in pain, "Demon" squeezing tighter until i heard a satisfying crack in his neck, dropping his limp body to the ground and pulling away. "(Y/n)?" Pouncing onto exorcist to exorcist snapping their necks in split seconds leaving most of them no time to run, the few that did had their backs slashed by my claws. The red liquid dripping off my fingertips and staining my face as i swiped a few strands of hair out of my mouth, licking the blood from my chin. "Mephisto, i'm sorry" "You're a full blood? How-" He was cut off by his own thoughts, realizing the obvious. "You were never there daughter" keeping his distance from me, both staring at each other. "I never knew of the Iverson's having a child, meaning that it died at birth. Then who are you? Why do you have Satan's flames?" Reaching my hand out to touch his face, his body tensed up notifying that he was uncomfortable. "I'm a creation made from Satan's blood, stolen from the Vatican after many experiments. The Iverson's took me in, locking away my powers and memories." "Verdammte Scheiße, now it all makes sense. How foolish of me to not have pieced that all together" He was too busy mentally scolding himself, his hand pinching his nose in irritation. Failing to notice my body falling to the floor, curling into a ball beside Amaimon and squeezing my stomach in agony. My body still not changing back to my normal human appearance. Mephisto ran to my side and dropped to his knees, gathering that my discomfort was somewhat the babies doing. The insides of my stomach feeling as if it was being clawed out, a warm liquid trickling down my leg and soaking my shorts. "Mephisto"
