PART 4:  Demons

"The demons?" Maria gasped looking at Sean.

"What are the demons?" Liz asked.

Maria looked at her family before picking her words carefully. "The demons are beings from the underground, they were created about the same time that witches were but they were created inferior. Witches through the ages have employed their help because they have a large amount of strength and are dumb enough to be bossed around."

Sean put his part in saying, "They are the meanest, stupidest things you'll ever meet. They kill each other for fun and really don't give a shit if they kill innocent people. They are probably paying them with human sacrifices."

Lis shuddered and moved towards Max, he put his arm around her and held her against him. "It's okay we've dealt with worse."

Maria looked hesitant to say something but Michael urged her on. "Actually demons are very powerful beings, they don't have any power but neither can they be hurt by any sort of magical means. They only way to kill one of them is to pull out their hearts, demons keep track of how many hearts they rip out of bodies, it's considered to be something to be proud about."

"What about aliens?" Tess said. "They might never have gone up against one and therefore could be powerless against it."

"True," Sean said.

"We need to employ my mother, she knows more about demons than anything."

"Why?" Alex asked.

"Because my father was a demon."  Sean said.
