Chapter 10
"Where's mama?" Triana asked for the hundredth time, looking up at Sevriel as she clutched her stuffed monkey to her chest.
"He needs some time to think, so he went back to grandma's house," Sevriel patted her on the head.
"Silver is out of town, so he can't stay there," Abel said once Triana was out of the room.
"What do you mean? Where the hell did he go then?" Sevriel demanded, glaring at Abel.
"He basically said that if it was a whore you wanted it's a whore you'll get. He went out prostituting himself to prove to you that he had been loyal to you before but was not going to be anymore," Abel watched the fury and sorrow war in Sevriel's eyes. He was furious because Devi was his and no one was allowed to touch him; and he was anguished that Devi would have to go this far to prove a point to him.
"Wait, that's not all he did. He's really in danger and we have to start looking for him right now!" Abel grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him back to awareness.
"The vampire that's been giving him trouble showed up and basically said that his master wanted to torture Devi for fun. Devi agreed as long as it provided a bed, food, and the promise that Triana would be left alone by them from now on!"
"Damn it! It took us so long to break him out of his shell and now he's more than willing to jump right back into it! If they hurt him it's going to give him flashbacks, and if that happens he might not ever come back!" He had heard of it happening to demons before. Once they had enough of the pain their very essence would just die away and leave nothing but an empty shell behind.
"Maybe Torian can sniff him out. He is an expert at finding demons after all," Abel offered.
"He won't be able to hold his scent if he's in a vehicle. The only thing we can do is wait until Monday when the school week starts again and follow them," Sevriel shook his head, tears stinging at his eyes. The idea of Devi going through all that was too much. He hated that he couldn't just race in and save him. It seemed like every time Devi was hurt he couldn't be there. And yet every time Devi forgave him with a smile. Why? Why does he let me keep him if I can't even protect him? Sevriel shook his head angrily.
"I know the license plate, but unless you can access those types of files its useless unless we actually see the van," Abel didn't have to say out loud that by Monday it could already be too late.
Author's notes: Abel's such a good friend, isn't he? He's making sure Devi's message hammered home incase the demon can't speak for himself anymore when all this is over, and still helps Sevriel try to find him.
