Arthur's POV:

I awoke with a start, I felt something warm against my body and panicked. I turned to see a naked Jay next to me, "Such a negative mind you have Arthur!" the demon laughed. "What did you do?" It even sounded like a threat, "Nothing, she is very loyal to you...not just your body." "I hate you" It hissed a laugh as Jay wrapped her arm around me. Physically she was stronger and pulled me down next to her, "Go back to sleep, You're not done being my pillow." I felt her breast on my back, I shivered as I noticed I was in different clothes. "Jay? Who changed my clothes? Are you naked?" I heard her sigh, "I didn't change you but since we are in my room, I get to sleep naked." I felt my face turn red from embarrassment, "Artie! She is gonna be your wife! Man up! I'm actually enjoying this, a little too much actually." I growled, "You PERVERT!" Jay jumped and stared at me, "Oh, your talking about Ruthura?" I stared at her, "What? I named him, its a spin off your name but also I added an extra U for originality. Anyway, you hungry? I'll get Auntie to make her famous waffles!" I covered my eyes as she stood up and walked over to the closet, she pulled a big shirt over her head that stopped at her knees. I looked, "C-Can you maybe separate me and Ruthura?" She looked at me with awe, "The only way I can think of is too dangerous for my mate." I blushed harder as she neared the door, "Please Jay! I especially want me to marry you and not both this demon and me!" "Oh I'll be a great side husband, we're already Soulmates!" I blushed even harder and Jay frowned. "Stop it! She's frowning and I hate it when she frowns!" She hugged me, "It's okay Artie, I'll find a way. A better way!" I cried as she hugged me, "If you don't get up, I'll carry you downstairs to breakfast. I smell the chocolate of waffles!" I laughed and stood up. She bolted out the door and looked back at me, "Oh yeah...Nobody knows you're here! Come on!" I froze and became speechless. I followed silently and saw that her Aunt and brother were the only ones there, for now anyway. Her Aunt, Gina, paused and chuckled. Her brother, Jackson, stared. He looked at his Aunt, "Auntie..you're not going to question the fact that Arthur just came out of your niece's room in her pajamas and the fact that she's naked?" Gina grabbed my cheek, "Nope, cause he's a very honest man now..and is waiting for marriage!" I blushed for a long while as I was served waffles. Jay sighed, "Auntie...Do you know how to get rid of a murderous demon without killing Arthur?" there was a pause, "Black Magic is the only way I can think of, but that results in death if done wrong." I touched my metal arm and sighed, "Guess I am stuck with a perverted pun demon that can possess my body whenever he can. He makes worst puns than I do." Jackson snorted, "That means something, especially if the puns really are bad." Jay perked up, "Did he say one while we were talking?" "Yes! Tell her!" I blushed as I was egged on by him, "He said he'd be a good side huband to you, seeing that he's already my SOULMATE." I closed my eyes as Jay bursted into laughter, "That was BAD!" the demon rolled in my head, "Yes! Welp at least I'll still your friend for the dead jokes, and the cliff jokes, and-" "I get it! You wanna make Lewis mad!" Everyone stared and at that moment I felt truly insane. Gina sighed, "If it's what you really want to risk, at least tell Lance and your family." "What family? Other than Lance, I'm out of-" Gina cupped my face, "Vivi, Mystery, and Lewis. Aren't they family?" Jay smiled as I stuttered, "They probably hate me for running away." As I finished that sentence, my phone rang. Jay gave it to me and I gasped, 23 missed calls from Vivi. I looked at Jay and softly spoke, "M-Mind if we do that thing tonight? In case I die….Hide my body from Vivi." Gina nodded and looked to Jay, we are gonna need some things for tonight." Jay swallowed two waffles before giving a thumbs up. I smiled as she looked to me, "Don't worry babe! We'll fix this together!" Jay then began to jot down everything needed for the ritual. Most were familiar to me and I smiled deeply at my fond memory, "So you were used in more than just one cultist sacrifice? Way more than with me, huh." I rolled my eyes at his nitpicking and laughed at the thought. Jackson looked at me, "What's so funny?" "I just remembered our first job, the cultist used the same ingredients on the list. L-Lewis suplexed the one that was about to stab me into the river and Vivi,heh, she jumped on the back of the leader and bashed him on the head with one of her bats. Mystery bit most if not all of them, I was tied up at the moment so I laughed at the sight." I frowned as I remembered what came next, "Then Vivi got arrested for attempted murder, but everyone cleared it up and even the head gave word that he started it." Jackson nodded with a frown, "Dude, you need a vacation. Glad you're here and safe *Glances at sister and Aunt Gina* for now, let's do something after you get dressed." I ate some waffle before nodding, "Sure, no swimming!" Jackson laughed and with a playful growl, "Swimming it is!" I groaned, Jackson would carry me if I said no and I knew he didn't know about the scars. "Then tell him you wimp." I scowled and sighed, "Um, Th-there's a reason I don't want to go swimming. I've been on tons of cultist jobs and I guess I'm the perfect sacrifice, I've got tons of scars that I don't like people staring at. It's-" Jackson grabbed my shirt from behind and pulled it off. I clutched my metal arm as he looked me up and down, "Art, you'll just look somewhat like me. We already look like brothers!" I smiled as he showed me his scars, Jackson is a werejag as well and the men are a bit aggressive and fight a lot in Jag form. He was the new head of the pack and he had lots of challenges for the position, but he was victorious. If it was one thing I could say about Jackson was that he was the huge big brother type, which I'm okay with. He tends to get scary when angry though, and he might just go jag if you make him angry enough. When I finished, I found my clothes in the dryer and put them on. I was then lifted up from behind and taken to Jackson's room, he passed me a pair of swim trunks that fit me and told me to change. I unwittingly put them on and smiled weakly as he dragged me to his car, "Still can't believe that you stole a motorcycle, well the demon...anyway, how are your friends? I know Lewis is dead, and you don't have to sugarcoat things." I frowned, "I'm a wreck and I wreck everything around me, simple as that." Jackson sighed and pulled off, "Art, we love you dude...even if you don't love yourself-" "How can I love MYSELF when MYSELF is a weak, pathetic coward who murdered his best friend!" Jackson sighed deeper, "Arthur, shut up and listen to me." I jumped at the growl in his voice. I saw that he was restraining himself, he always had a worse temper than Lewis. I grew quiet as he calmed down, "I'm sorry for scaring you, but you are not at fault. The demon got bored and decided to do you in, but this guilt is eating you alive bro. I'm sure everyone misses YOU not what you're going through. This demon took time to adjust to you and went out of his way to make sure you're alive. Even he hates this." The demon nodded in agreement and I clutched my metal arm, "W-Well, I guess, I'm speechless." We arrived at the pool and eyes bored into me, I had fun though. Jackson made sure that unless I was doing something people had no reason to stare. We got kicked out of the public pool, but we had tons of fun while it happened. We went to a drive thru to spoil ourselves for lunch, cheeseburgers and fries with chocolate fudge sundaes. When we returned, the preparations were done and I was taken to the garden behind the house. Jackson and Jay went to play as I stayed with Aunt Gina, I just hope no one gets hurt this time.

Lewis' POV:

We arrived to the address that Lance gave us and lucky us the van breaks down within the front area, which was like a maze. I led the way and Mystery followed behind Vivi, what kind of people were Arthur associated with? I heard a faint growling from beyond the trees that we passed, "Vivi, stay close, I heard something out here." "Right, Mystery can you sniff it out?" Mystery lifted his head and inhaled, "Lewis, you won't be able to fight them. They are werejags, the most dangerous when compared to werewolves and to ghosts well let's just say you won't fair well with one as your opponent." At that moment to giant black Jaguars appeared before us. I positioned myself in front of Vivi, I stared as the larger one approached us. It was covered in many scars and its eyes were a deep gold, really the same shade as Arthur's hair. Mystery turned into his seven tailed fox form and growled at the bigger Jag, the smaller slender Jag circled us. Without any warning, the slender Jag jumped over Mystery's hind end and grabbed Vivi. She shrieked as the Jag dashed with her, "VIVI!" we tried to follow but we were stopped by the larger Jag. Mystery moved in front of me, knowing that he couldn't risk me fighting them alone. If I went after Vivi, then I'll have to fight, so I had no choice but stay with Mystery. Then incoming was Vivi's voice, "WEEEEEEEEE!" To my surprise, Vivi was riding the slender Jag that took her. The larger Jag snorted and turned its back on us, Vivi was riding it like a horse but stopped in front of us. She looked at me, "Lew Lew, these guys are harmless!" Mystery cleared his throat, "Actually I think they are here to greet us, mainly because the big one is the alpha. Am I right?" The larger Jag snorted again and began to leave with the slender Jag and Vivi in tow, naturally me and Mystery followed. The Alpha Jag lead us to a big house, "Who does Arthur know?!" the slender Jag slid Vivi off its back and took off into the house. A young girl exited the house and hugged Vivi, "You must be Vivi! I heard so much about you!" The larger Jag snorted again and she snapped, "Shut it Jackson! Just because you're ALPHA, doesn't mean you can pick on everyone!" Mystery looked down on her, "You were the smaller Jag just now, weren't you?" she smiled and nodded, "Arthur said you were a demon fox, but I didn't think this powerful!" I paused, "You know Arthur?" she only giggled, "You're Lewis, Artie told me about you too! You're a sorry excuse for a paranormal investigator, not knowing when someone is possessed." she scolded me. Vivi stood up for me, "Well we never heard of you!" her grin grew, "You know when Arthur's embarrassed he turns bright red? Our relationship is kept secret though, family are the only ones that know. I think he should have told you though, you two treat him as your child. He's only a few years younger than you Vivi!" Vivi smiled, "Arthur is our child isn't he Lew." I actually shed a tear, "I'm a terrible father!" Mystery touched my shoulder with his nose and spoke, "Answer the question please, how do you know Arthur?" She covered her mouth, "Oops, I was rambling again. I'm Arthur's Fiancee, his soon to be wife." I stared at her. Vivi stuttered as Mystery fell over, "W-Why haven't Arthur said anything about this?!" I grabbed my head, "I'm still too young for him to get married!" She sighed, "No, were betrothed. My parents and Arthur's parents agreed on a marriage between the two of us, Arthur's 22 and I'm 20. He has to wait two years for me, he isn't attracted to any other female because I imprinted on him and well...he only showed interest in me from what I know." I nodded, "I was starting to think he was into Vivi, or men." she and Vivi laughed. I blushed deeply at the thought, "But why hasn't anything been said to us?" The girl shrugged, "He probably didn't want to be treated differently, some people tend to do that." Almost instantly, Arthur's screams filled the air and caught all of our attention. The girl looked grim, "That could've gone better...wait, did we check his soul's condition without Ruthura?" The large Jag nodded and laid down. She crossed her arms over her stomach, "Well, nothing is wrong from what I can tell. We can't go check on them just yet because- Oh No!" I turned to see Lance coming out of his truck. He strode to the girl as she looked guiltily at her feet, "Jay! Where in the world is ARTHUR?!" Jay backed away, "H-He asked Auntie to exorcise him of a demon, h-he seemed to be in distress so she agreed to it. Even though he had been informed of the risks." Lance only stared at her and sighed, he entered the house without a single word. We followed silently and waited for Arthur.
