Sleeping With The Enemy (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Forty

--Emmett's POV--
"Why do you want me anyway?" I asked pulling on the cuffs binding my hands while he tugged me along the halls of this filthy asylum that he was currently shacked up in, I could practically hear the tormented screams of patients and the blood splatteres staining the floor and walls, he had knocked me unconscious for a good four hours before I came to being chained up like this.

"Because you're powerful. You have nether blood in you" He chuckled pushing open the door to the room and shoving me inside. "I don't want to hurt you..much" He feigned reassurance closing the door behind me.

"Welcome to our humble abode" Someone side dryly from the corner of the room stepping out of the shadow.

"Lux? Hold on. I-" I stopped rubbing the back of my head in confusion and she laughed awkwardly.

"Reanimated corpse. I'm pretty much sired to him" She sighed sitting down on one of the beds across from the spare bed "I heard about Lucien" She added nodding to the mess on my face.

"Yeah. There's no reversal without killing millions of demonoids" I mumbled flopped back onto the bed.

"Yes there is." She lowered her voice dropping down off the bed and crawling over to me "Isidor has a genetic leash on Lucien, that causes the regression of the Lucifer DNA. If we kill Isidor, it breaks the chain and releases the bond and possibly his memories" She crawled back to her bed and reached under it fishing around underneath.

"He is way more powerful then all of us" I scoffed messing with the pillow under my head.

"You can easily match him if you channel your power enough" She rolled her eyes holding up a rustic dagger and pushing it into my hands. I opened my mouth to protest when an arrow sailed through the window spraying glass all over the floor.

"It's a message from Nick" She grinned unsrunch the paper that was wrapped around the arrow. "Charlie, Lima, India, Foxtrot, Foxtrot." She frowned holding up the sheet to me with the words scrawled over it and an arrow pointing to the left.

"It's NATO phonetic code, Nick and I learnt it in the academy" I took the paper from her and set it down on the desk snatching up a pen from the cup "The first letter of each word makes up a message" I wrote down the letters C L I F F, I followed the arrow that had shifted to point out the window as a flash of light flickered up on the ledge near the house.

"That's our boy" Lux smiled waving up at the figure moving closer to the edge, She let out a yelp of surprise when they plunged themself over the edge into the water below.

"He'll be fine, he is better at this than I am" I reassured her shoving the paper into my pocket tucking the dagger into the back of my jeans "Let's get out of here" I carefully slipped out of the broken window holding a hand out to Lux.

"I'm sorry, about everything. I was such a bitch" She apologised steadying herself on the roof tiles.

"It doesn't matter now, where is Isidor now?" I brushed her off crouching down to keep out of the view of any guards.

"Study, he has a nether outside the door. But the window is always open" She nodded to the double window across the gap between the roof.

"Keep quiet though, we can't alert him" I whispered leaping over to the opposing roof holding an arm out to Lux for her to make it across.

"What about Nick?" She hissed crawling up up to the window ledge "He has his back to us" she pointed to Isidor's back sitting at the desk facing away from us.

I nodded sliding the dagger out of it's spot holding it high as I climbed up onto the ledge. Throwing myself onto him I drove the dagger into his spine perferating the back of his heart opening a flood gate of internal bleeding.
