Maddox growled- Nessie was waiting in position with Max close by. His brothers waiting patiently- he stiffened when he saw a hand come from the cabin. Allison took his hand and Maddox closed his eyes; had he won her over.
She smiled up at him, "What is it?" her voice was calmed and not strained- she was there to be there, not going anywhere soon.
"I thought I saw something." She looked where he was- Maddox clearly saw she was wearing a pair of his pants and one of his shirts. "Go back to bed Ally."
"Then you're coming with me, no more then fifty feet remember."
"It's barely twenty." She giggled and took his other hand and pulled him inside, "Allison, something is out there."
"No, there isn't." She said and touched his lower abdomen with her fingers, "You're imagining things."
"Then where are the wolves I have guarding the house?" She frowned and looked to see he was right, the wolves were gone. He watched her carefully, "Allison." He said and she looked up at him as she stepped into the yard again, the anklet spun around her ankle with each step she took. "Allison, come on- it's late."
She turned back to face him, "Mori."
"Now!" Max yelled, his voice was like Maddox's so they believed it was truly him.
He stared with horror, "NO, she's mine!" He yelled and went forward but Nessie beat Max and tackled him inside, Max laughed and grabbed him. Maddox dragged Max away from him and took over, "Maddox, she loves me."
"Dad, no!" he heard her yell. "Reyes let me go! Let me go, please let me go-."
"Stop it Allison, we'll take you home."
"I'm staying here with Mori!"
"Give her the injection." Torin said quietly and He saw Reyes inject Allison with something and she calmed down immediately, "Good girl- it's okay Allison. Maddox, we got her!" He called and Maddox turned back to Him.
"Alright old friend," Lucien entered and Max dragged Nessie outside. As Maddox and Lucien looked down at Him, he stared back. "Time to make you pay for what you've done." Lucien shut the door but kicking it, Nessie looked up at Max as she heard someone throw a punch. She shivered and hurried after Reyes and Aeron. Torin was behind them; Max had given Nessie a weapon and now he took it back.

Ashlyn pushed open her daughter's bedroom door to see her asleep- Torin was checking her temperature and Reyes- her pulse. She'd woken up in the forest on the way home, so they had to up the dosage. She stared at her daughter slept peacefully, her dreams tormenting her in secret with visions of Him.
Ashlyn waited until morning when Allison woke up and looked around dazed, she spied Ashlyn and her mother came over to her without waiting any longer but Allison jumped up and went to her closet. "Good idea, get out of his clothes," Ashlyn said and sat down on her bed. Allison went into the bathroom and came out in jeans and a red shirt. She looked over at the window and saw the wind was strong; she went to the window and opened it.
Ashlyn stood up, "Mom, I'll be back. If they killed him, I won't be."
"Allison! Don't go back there, please honey."
She turned to Ashlyn, "Mom, I love him. the first thing I thought when I woke up was why I wasn't in his arms; the next was where he was and then how long it might take me to get there to him."
"Allison he'll hurt you."
"No, I'll hurt dad if he left him for dead." the demon showed and Ashlyn stepped back.
Don't frighten your own mom.
Sorry, I'm scarred and upset right now.
We love him.
"Yes we do," she said aloud.
Ashlyn stared at her but understood that she was probably talking to the demon inside of her; Ashlyn went to the door, "Maddox!" She yelled and she heard him a moment later.
Allison held the window frame as the wings she had began to emerge. She winced at the pain and jumped up on the railing. The wings the demons have are large and reflect the colour of their demons, so her wings were the colour of dark blue with purple feathers and the tips of the feathers were white. She smiled at the wings and jumped off the balcony.
"Allison!" Maddox and Ashlyn yelled but she was already gone.
