Demon (BoyxBoy) Book 1
Chapter 18

Seth’s POV

″Who... who wrote this?″ I asked Jaxon, averting my eyes to Jin laying on the ground. His sobs were growing louder at the second, Jayce held him tightly in his arms. I had what it seemed like a million questions... Why was Jin crying? Who wrote the note? Everything was happening too fast...

″What happened?″ I asked. Jin’s sobs got louder as I asked the question, holding tightly onto his father. Jaxon glanced in my direction, taking the note from my hands.

″When we arrived at Jin’s home... it was torn apart. Books thrown carelessly, tables thrown... We went to check on his mother... she was dead. I won’t describe the condition she was in... but this note was on the tip of the sword.″

I couldn’t help but grow angry. Yet again... another person dead. Because of me. I wanted to save her in the first place... am I destined to kill people? It seems like it... I was angry at myself. I was angry at whoever this was. It definitely wasn’t Jules, he is a human and in a different dimension. It cannot be a human in this dimension... nobody knows I’m the son of Lucifer.

Suddenly, the girl next to me began walking up to Jin. She had a sympathetic look on her face, her dark brown eyes seeming to be a softer shade. The blood on her face was gone, I figured she wiped it off before she left the kitchen. She kneeled down next to Jin and Jayce on the floor, taking Jin’s hand in hers.

″Magdalene... what are you doing here?″ Jin asked, sniffling afterward. Huh... so that’s her name.

″We will talk about it later, okay? We have to go now...″ She said softly, bringing a hand to his cheek. I watched as his face heated up, a blush coming to his cheeks. He nodded his head slowly, pulling himself out of his father’s grasp. He stood up from the floor, his eyes puffy and red. His jaw quivered as he attempted to speak, but he finally got the words out.

″She’s right. We are obviously in some sort of danger... so let’s go.″ Jin said, motioning towards Jaxon. I wanted to comfort him. I wanted to tell him I lost my mother too, I know how bad it hurts. Even if you got the bad end of the deal, in his case caring for her all of his life... they are still their mother. It really, really sucks. In this world, you can’t seem to stop to grieve.

″Everyone, be prepared for when we return. We may be confronting something that is bigger than us... they may know what we are doing. Plus... Elena said the kingdom is rioting much more, but it shouldn’t be anything too severe...″ Jayce said to us. What would they be rioting about? Maybe it was because they haven’t seen me in a week... Jules is too scared to do anything.

Maybe.

Jaxon clasped his hands together, that brilliant yellow coming to his eyes. He thrust his hand forward, creating a bright yellow portal in between us. I couldn’t help but look over to Magdalene... She was looking at the portal in shock. After a year of being something beyond her knowledge, she’s finally going to be in the world she’s been forced into. I can’t imagine how afraid she must be right now... how she doesn’t completely understand it. I know I was scared when I first found out I was Lucifer’s son... but I had help right away. She didn’t.

″Magdalene, don’t be afraid sweetheart. It will be a breeze.″ Jayce said to her.

I’m more afraid of what is on the other side.

I watched as Jayce took Jin and Magdalene’s hands, guiding them into the portal. She had a calmer expression on her face, but I knew it would take some time for her to get used to it.

″Seth.″

My eyes met Jaxon, who had a serious look on his face. He slowly walked up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders.

″I think there is a war on the other side of the portal. I need you to prepare yourself. I may be mistaken... but whoever wrote this note knows what we are doing.″ He said to me. I nodded my head slowly, bringing my hand up to my cheek. His olive skin shined a light pink, breaking his gaze from my eyes.

″Being an Angel even in the hardest times, huh?″ He asked.

″I don’t feel like an Angel...″ I admitted, a nervous laugh leaving my lips afterward. How could I? Everyone seems to be dying because of me... If I wasn’t Lucifer’s son, or if my kingdom never found out... My mother would be alive, Jin’s mother would be alive, my grandfather, Valentin... I’m far from an Angel. I could take people’s life away from them if I really wanted to...

″Seth, It’s not your fault... Jin’s mother was already really sick-″

″Who else has to die because of me? I hate it...″ I whispered. I felt as he placed his finger under my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. They were still his brilliant yellow, maybe even brighter.

″Those deaths were not because of you. They were because of people who can’t handle how utterly amazing you are. Sometimes people in life strive to have more than they have. They get reckless. But you... you’re kind. You’re caring. You’re so unbelievably handsome... not to mention that kind heart you have.″ He said to me, and I felt the smile lingering on my lips.

He pulled me into a tight embrace, his arms wrapping around my waist securely. I hugged him back, feeling the burning on my wrist. It wasn’t a bad burn... it felt nice.

″You’ll be okay, Seth.″ He told me, pulling away from the embrace. I nodded my head, my gaze looking towards the portal.

″Let’s go,″ I said to him.

He held out his hand, which I took it gratefully.

Our week of rest seems to be over.

I walked into the portal with Jaxon... and I already heard the angry screams.

-------------------------------------------

″Elena, please take the children back to my house... take them into the basement, if you are too tired to fight I understand... Using Encanto on more than one person could be draining-″

″Jayce, I could handle it. You’re going to need all the help you could get. We already evacuated the people of the kingdom, but Jules has an army of thousands...″ She said.

The portal teleported us in the woods. I heard the angry chanting of Jules army... That’s when I knew.

We had a war. Much sooner than I thought.

″We will see you two in a bit, okay?″ Jaxon said to Jin and Magdalene. They nodded their heads, too afraid to speak a sentence... this dimension must be drastically different for them...

Elena walked over to them, a soft smile on her red lips. She picked them up in each of her arms... I forgot vampires had a lot of strength.

Not like I can’t do that...

She ran off into the woods with superhuman speed, leaving Jaxon, Jayce and I.

″So what’s the plan, boss.″ Jaxon said, crossing his arms and looking at Jayce. He looked like he was in deep thought, staring at the ground.

″I don’t think Jules declared war.″ He said, glancing back up at me. I furrowed my eyebrows, looking at him in confusion. Jules is currently the leader of the kingdom... How could he not?

″How? One person cannot tell France’s whole army to start a war... without the consent of the King.″

″He could have been brainwashed or put under a spell. Jules is terrified of you, everything was at peace only two days ago. He’s too afraid to do anything.″ Jayce said.

Elena suddenly ran back up to us, a soft smile on her lips.

″Sorry I took so long, the kids were begging to help... I told them to stay right where they were. Anyways... I’ve told warlocks and vampires there is a war coming. We have some backup... but I don’t know if it will be enough.″ She said softly. We nodded our heads... the screaming grew louder in the distance.

″We need to do this. For my people.″ I said to them. Jaxon flashed me a soft smile, his eyes glowing a bright yellow.

″For our kingdom.″

We began running out of the woods. My heart was beating a mile a minute, the sound of my name being chanted over and over again filling my ears. I knew that I couldn’t die myself... but It’s just the fact there are over thousands of men ready to tear us apart. They could hurt us in other ways, such as hurting my people. If we win... we could force Jules out of power. If we lose... it could get worse and worse.

I couldn’t help but think of Estelle. How does she think of all of this? Is she okay? I hope she is safe... Sometimes I wish things could go back to the way they used to be. I was the prince, my mother the Queen... I had my best friends Estelle and Jules.

I had to find out eventually.

We arrived in front of the gates... the sight terrifying me.

There were thousands upon thousands. They had their armor on and their swords clenched to their chests. They wanted blood.

″There’s about ten thousand... We can’t do this, It’s physically impossible...″ Elena said, her voice shaking. The men in the front started screaming louder, telling the others that we were here. They chanted they would rip the wings out of my back, they would pull the fangs out of Elena’s mouth... God, we aren’t ready...

You have an army, son.

Use it.

I heard my father’s voice ringing in my head. It was deep, almost demanding. I knew what he wanted me to do. I’ve had nightmares of me doing it before.

If we want to win, I have to.

″Stand back,″ I said to them. Jaxon looked at me in curiosity, backing away slowly. Elena and Jayce nodded their heads, obeying me.

Thank you, father.

You’re welcome, my boy.

------------------------------------------------------

Jaxon’s POV

I was expecting Seth’s eyes to be the pitch black. But they weren’t. They were still shining his neon green... He was in control. I haven’t really seen him use his powers himself... god, what was he going to do?

I watched as he threw himself down onto the ground, smashing his fists against the ground. His body tensed up, a loud, drawn-out scream leaving his throat.

″RISE! WE HAVE A WAR TO FIGHT, I SAID RISE!″ He screamed, his voice booming throughout the woods... I felt as the ground began to shake. The screaming of the men ceased immediately, staring at Seth in fear.

″RISE, MY KINGDOM! RISE! LISTEN TO YOUR PRINCE! WE HAVE A WAR!″ He screamed again. I heard the whispering of demons filling my ears...

...Our prince? is he calling us?

He needs us! Our time is here!

He said rise... RISE!

″RISE!″

The ground broke open with a terrifying scream, thousands of demons and the undead leaking from it. They rejoiced in happiness, running past us to the gate. They thanked Seth as they passed him...

The gates opened.

The demons, the undead, and various warlocks and vampires charged, confidence leaking their throats. There had to be at least four thousand demons fighting on our side... there was still some demons leaking out from hell. I clasped my hands together, the yellow energy leaking from my fingertips.

Elena walked up next to me, and I couldn’t help but notice her blood red eyes. She was ready to fight... but I was worried about her. All she does is run around doing jobs for Jayce

″Are you sure you’re ready for this?″ I asked her. She nodded her head slowly, gazing up at me.

″Make a protective shield around us, at least...″ She mumbled. I nodded my head, whispering the spell to myself. I thrust my hand towards the ground, the yellow shield coming over us.

″Let’s begin.″ She said, flashing me a smile.

We ran towards the men, the screaming filling my ears. Elena bared her fangs, sinking them into the nearest man. A man attempted to stab his sword through my chest, but the protective shield threw the sword back. I twisted my fingers, snapping the man’s neck. He fell onto the ground, along with the man Elena drained.

″I think Jayce was right, Jules is nowhere to be seen. He’s probably hiding inside.″ Elena mumbled, throwing a punch in a man’s face as we made our way through the crowd. I whispered a spell to myself as we made our way through the crowd, thrusting my hand forward. About one hundred men fell back with a scream as I twisted my fingers upward, the bones in their body breaking.

″The person who left the note must have done this,″ I replied. She nodded her head, her gaze far from me. I followed it, and it landed on Jayce. He was fighting by himself but was doing one hell of a job. He was killing hundreds of men in seconds with his spells... we might have a chance. The demons were doing an amazing job too, along with the other warlocks-

I suddenly felt a sharp pain at my side, causing me to fall onto the ground. Nobody was attacking me... someone was attacking Seth.

″Jaxon, are you okay-″

″WHERE IS SETH.″ I screamed out, the pain getting worse. This was part of being soul mates with someone... if they were getting terribly hurt, you would feel it too. If they were on the verge of death... you’d feel it. Seth cannot die since he’s immortal... but he could be on the verge of it and come back.

Elena pulled me up from the ground, her eyes flashing a blood red. The men around us suddenly stopped, staring intently at her.

″You will stop fighting for now. Put down your weapons, at ease.″ She mumbled. The Encanto was definitely not strong enough... but it will last us a few minutes.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a pair of white wings in the sky.

I looked up, seeing Seth in the person’s arms. He had various swords pierced through his chest to keep him still. His black wings were flapping rapidly, trying to get out of the person’s grasp.

″WE NEED TO GET HIM, THEY HAVE HIM! DON’T LET HIM-″ I said, only to be shut up by the pain at my side. I let out a scream of pain, grasping onto Elena’s shirt tighter. I lifted my hand up in the air, trying to throw a spell at the person.

They disappeared into the sky, no trace.

″SETH!″ I screamed out, feeling as my whole body began to hurt. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t do anything. Nobody could do anything... they were high up in the air.

Seth...
