Chapter 11

"What happened when you were with Allison yesterday, Luke?" Michael asked him the following morning.

"Was she the one who did this to you?" Calum asked referring to his cuts and bruises.

"Honestly? At first I thought it was her. But then something strange happened. It was like someone else possessed her body," Luke answered.

"What do you mean?" Ashton asked.

"Well, she got up and her eyes were black. There was a wicked smile on her face and when I called her name she didn't react to it. She just kept staring at me with that creepy smile," he explained.

"That doesn't sound like Allison at all," Michael said.

"I know right? So I ask who he or she is and it replied with 'I'm the one who saved her and I won't let anyone hurt her again'. I was confused because I didn't want to hurt and she still came closer to me. I obviously backed away but I soon hit a wall. She then trailed her fingers along my arms and a burning pain shot through them. And that's who I got those scratches," he finished.

"The one who saved her? That means he's the demon that gave her his blood," Calum realized.

"That's what I thought too, but that doesn't make any sense. He should've died when he did that. There's no way that he's still around, right Mikey?" Luke said.

"Not necessarily, but I would find it strange if this is the case. A thousand years ago there was a way that if a demon died, he could still be watching over a person and protecting him or her," Michael explained.

"How?" Calum asked.

"By a stone, or more specifically, a gem. But I highly doubt that that's the case," He said.

"Why?" Luke asked.

"Because those gems were destroyed. Like I said it was over a thousand years ago. Those stones doesn't exist anymore. The counsel destroyed them all," Michael explained.

"Did he tell his name?" Ashton suddenly asked.

"No, why?" Luke asked.

"No reason," he mumbled.

"You knew him," the blonde said.

"What? That's ridiculously," Ashton scoffed.

"Don't lie to me!" Luke snapped.

"I'm not," He countered.

"Don't make me do this," Luke warned as he stepped closer and let his eyes turn black.

"You don't scare me," Ashton chuckled, "I'm way more powerful than you. You wouldn't even be able to touch me,"

"You're not powerful enough against the three of us," Calum said.

"You're threatening me? Last time I checked, they asked me to keep an eye on you because I'm stronger" Ashton mocked.

"Ashton, don't make this harder than it should be," Michael said.

"Even you, Mikey? Really?" Ashton scoffed.

"Tell us, now," Calum demanded.

"Okay fine, yes I knew the demon who's watching over Allison. He was my mentor when I was younger," He confessed, not wanting to start any unnecessarily drama.

"You knew this the whole time?"  Luke asked in disbelief.

"No I didn't. I didn't knew that Allison was his daughter that he saved," He defended himself.

"Then what do you know?" Calum asked.

"The whole story, but I'm warning you. It is long," Ashton admitted.

"We got time," Michael said.

"Okay, here it goes. Harry was my mentor when I was younger like I said. He was at the time the most powerful demon that existed. The counsel even wanted him to be our new leader but Harry didn't really want to," Ashton started.

"Why?" Luke asked.

"Because he fell in love with a human, Diana, and got a kid, which is apparently Allison. Anyway, Harry was not only my mentor. He was also Jake's best friend at the time. They trained together, captured souls together, they did almost everything together. That was until Diana appeared in Harry's life. He didn't give Jake as much as attention as before which angered him. But what angered him the most is that he saw that Harry was getting weaker because of Diana. At least, that's what he saw. In Jake's eyes, there was only one solution to prevent this from happening. And that was killing her. So he did, but never took the blame 'till later on. Harry was furious. He became blinded by his anger and destroyed everything," Ashton continued.

"A bit like Calum?" The blonde asked.

"Much worse. Harry went on a killing spree, he killed every demon that could have killed Diana and when that wasn't good enough he killed humans. Not because he wanted to take their souls, he killed them because they reminded him to much about Diana," Ashton explained.

"How did he found out that Jake killed Diana?" Michiel asked.

"Someone tipped him, never knew who it was. Anyway, Harry confronted him and they started fighting. Jake tricked him and eventually bit Allison. Harry saved her and apparently placed his soul in the stone before he died," he finished the story.

"That's messed up," Luke said.

"It is and that's the real why Jake's locked up in the prison world," Ashton sighed.

"Why'd you lie about that anyway?" Calum asked.

"Because Harry asked me to," He replied.

"When? I thought he was on a killing spree after his wife's death?" Michael asked.

"He was but he also needed a place to stay hidden and since I was one of the only ones he still trusted, he stayed with me. He told me that if anything ever happens to him, I would keep his story hidden. He was ashamed of what he did," Ashton explained.

"If he was ashamed of what he did, then why would he continue doing so?" Calum asked.

"Because he made a promise to avenge Diana's dead and he wasn't planning on breaking that promise," He answered.

"That makes sense,"

"That leaves only one question unanswered," Michiel said.

"And that is?" Ashton asked.

"How do we get Harry out of Allison?" He asked.

"Why'd you ask us? You're the one who should know everything about it," Luke replied.

"But I don't. And if none of you do, that means I'll have to make a short trip to an old friend of mine," He said.

"Who?" Calum asked.

"Your sister, Mali"
