I sit down in a tree watching the kids play at the park. The adults had hidden their wings earlier so that they looked normal. They talked to the other human kids and the adults talked with the kid's mothers and fathers.
Caramel runs up to me, Rose and Delilah by her side. She stops in front of the tree and I jump down to greet her. She looks up at me panicked and grabs my hand.
"What's going on?" I ask them as we run across the field. Rose and Delilah run out of breath and Caramel can't seem to speak.
Will joins us after a minute. We stop in front of a wall. Rose looks around and shakes her head. Delilah grabs her hand.
"What happened?" I ask them once again. Caramel looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"They took Ink," she says panicked. Will tenses up beside me. I look at him confused. 
"Ink? Your mate? " He asks. Caramel nods. Will walks up to me and looks around.
"I'm going to take the girls back to the park. See if you can find anything love," he says. He taps Rose on the shoulder and motions that they're leaving.
"Yell if you need me. I'll be back soon!" He hollers to me as he walk away. I nod then mentally slap myself once I remember that he can't see me.
I climb up the wall and sit on top. I jump down onto the other side. There are trees around, blocking my view. I walk into the small forest looking around for any evidence of Ink's kidnapper.
"Oh, look who it is," a whisper rebounds around me. I look around warily. A chuckle comes from my left and I turn to see a man standing there, a child in his grasp. The child looks up at me and I realize that this must be Ink.
Ink watches me, shaking. I smile softly and he flinches back. I frown and turn my attention back to the man. He stands there smirking at me.
"Let him go," I demand. The man stands there for a moment and then smiles. He snaps his fingers and ropes tie Ink to a tree. He then strides over to me.
"I didn't think I would see you again so soon," he says chuckling. I stare at him confused. Then I remember.
My vision goes woozy and my ears are ringing. I try to get up but fall onto my face. I groan. This sucks. As I lay there a demon comes by and kicks me.
"Oh, you're suck a weak little human," the voice says. I look up and see a male demon standing there. I start to panic but he walks off.
" Remember me, demon hunter, " he calls back.
I look up to him shocked. He was one of the first demons that came out of the portal. That means he's one of the strongest. He laughs as if he knows exactly what I'm thinking. He prances around happily.
"Now you remember who I am!" He exclaims excitedly. I glare at him. He chuckles and walks closer. I back up quickly.
" Will! " I scream as loud as I can. The man slaps a hand over my mouth. He clicks his tongue and shakes his head.
"Now we can't have you getting help, now can we?" He asks. I just glare at him. He stretches and groans suddenly.
" Ugh. This jacket is constricting my wings, " he says. He takes off his jacket and his huge black wings stretch out behind him.
Ink whimpers softly from the place he's tied up. I shoot him a reassuring glance and then look back at the man.
"You know what. I'll make a deal with you," he says chuckling. He lifts my chin up to make me face him. I flinch back. He laughs at how obviously uncomfortable I am.
"If you come with me, I'll let him go," he says pointing at Ink. I think this over. I have a better chance of getting away than Ink. I nod and Ink stares at me shocked. The man snaps his fingers again and Ink falls to the ground.
I slip out of the man's grasp and run over to Ink. I crouch down beside him and give him a hug. He sobs into my chest and I pat his head. He pulls back and looks at me.
"Get Will. He'll know what to do. Tell him I love him please. Be safe," I whisper to him. He nods and runs out of the forest.
I turn back to the man who stands there smugly. I cross my arms over my chest defensively. He walks closer to me and grabs me.
"Now you will be coming with me," he says. I nod reluctantly and he drags me to a car. He pushes me in the backseat and closes the door.
I try to open the door but the child lock is on. I groan and try to climb to the front seat only to be pushed back. I glare at the man.
He snaps his fingers and ropes tie me up in the back of the car. I struggle against them as he gets in and closes the driver's side door.
He starts the car and drives off onto the highway.
