Chapter 11

The Note

As Christian woke up he got dressed and walked in to the kitchen and saw that the living room couch was empty. As he looked around he spotted Gabe out on the front porch. He grabbed a cup of coffee and went out to join his brother. He opened the sliding door and Gabe looked up when he heard the noise.

"Sarah still asleep?" Christian asked as he took the seat Gabe had been sitting in earlier. He now was sitting in the seat Sarah had been sitting in.

"Chris, I told her the truth. I needed… no had to tell her and I wanted to do it my self. She's been in her room ever since." Gabe explained.

"Gabe you should have waited." Christian scoffed.

"I know. I'm going to go and see if she's alright." Gabe said standing up. As he stood up he noticed a piece of paper nailed to one of the posts that held the roof over the porch. He walked over and ripped it off. "Christian come here quick." Gabe said urgently.

Christian quickly got up and walked over towards is brother. It turns out that it was a note. It read.

"If you ever want to see your friends again then come to the old warehouse in Liverpool at dawn on the 22nd of October. I know that you two are Protectors.

Signed Dakota."

"Dakota?" Gabe questioned. "Tomorrow's the 22nd."

"Dakota is a demon that has been around for awhile and has never been successfully vanquished. He's not extremely powerful but is really smart. And yes I know that tomorrow is the 22nd." Christian explained to a very stunned Gabe.

"What about Sarah. We can't really leave her alone." Gabe pointed out.

"I know. We can get Drew to come over and look after her. He's a protector too. He'll

understand, I'll call him right now." Christian said going in to the house to call his best friend.

Gabe followed him in and decided to check in on Sarah. He walked over to the bedroom door and knocked softly. When no answer came he opened the door a crack and saw that she was asleep on the bed. He crept over and sat on the bed and softly stroked her hair.

"I can't believe she's actually my sister. Even though I've only known her a short time I feel like

I've known her my whole life. I already love her." Gabe thought to himself. He hadn't noticed that she had been watching him the whole time.

"Thanks." Sarah said softly.

"What for?" Gabe questioned.

"Haven't you figured it out yet." She said with a slight smile.

"Figured what out?"

"I know what your thinking. If you and Chris have magic powers so do I. I've been using my powers ever since I knew that I could." She paused and looked in to Gabe's puzzled face. "I can read mines."

"Oh." Gabe said. "So you knew about me and Christian that we were... that we were."

"That you were my brothers." Sarah offered.

"Yeah." Gabe said.

"No. I haven't been using my powers for over two years." Sarah said. "All of a sudden they decided to come alive. I needed to hear that. Thank you."

"No problem, that's what brother's are for, and they like to do something else." Gabe said.

"What's that?" Sarah asked.

"Tickle." Gabe said tickling Sarah in the ribs.

"Stop!" She laughed.

"What do you say?" Gabe said.

"Please!" She screeched.

"Okay, but only because you said please." Gabe said as he sat up straight on the bed. "So like I asked before, how you holding up?"

"Better then before." Sarah said lying down on the bed and resting her arms behind her head.

"Good now get dressed were going out." Gabe said getting up off the bed and going towards the door. "Were leaving in fifteen minutes."

"Fifteen minutes, I don't think so how about half an hour?" Sarah asked.

"Okay, half an hour but that's it." Gabe said going out the door and closing it behind him.

Judson and Mac were in a dark and cramped room. Their hands and legs were bind. During the struggle Mac had given up a good fight and had the whole way to where ever they were. But Judson on the other hand well he wasn't in the best of condition. One of there captors had cornered him and threaten to shoot him with his gun. He charged at Judson and pulled his shoulder out of his socket in the process. He also had a very nasty looking gash on his temple, which needed to be sewn up, and ,by what Mac could see was getting infected. Mac was doing her best to keep Judson awake. If he would fall asleep then he might not wake up and go into a coma.

"Judson come on wake up, I'm sorry but you can't fall asleep. Not until you see a doctor." Mac said nudging him with her elbow.

"Sorry, but it's so hard to keep my eyes open." Judson said in a whisper.

"I know, but someone will come, they'll have to know we've disappeared sometime." Mac said trying to keep Judson's hopes up. It had been two days and no one had come to there rescue. "I hope Mac whispered.

All of a sudden the door on the far right wall opened and someone walked in.

"Here hopeless mortals, you're food for the day eat up." One of there kidnappers said. By what

Mac could tell he was the leader.

"Why don't you un-tie us there's no where for us to run and he can't really move, or are you to blind to see that?" Mac said sarcastically.

The leader came over and slapped her across the face leaving a long cut down the side of her right cheek, and knocking her out cold.

"That wasn't necessary, you know." Judson said weakly. "And she's right were not going to run away, so why don't you un-tie us."

"Fine." He said as he moved his hand and the ropes became loose so Judson could untie himself and turn around to Mac.

He pulled the ropes off of her limp body, and held her in his arms trying to wake her up. He looked at the two of them in discuss and walked out of the room and closed the door with a bang. The only reason he had kidnapped them was to get to the protectors Gabriel and his brother Christian. Back inside the room Judson was still trying to rouse Mac. Slowly she opened her eyes and met Judson with surprise.

"What happened why aren't we tried any more?" Mac asked confused.

"What can I say he listened to me." Judson said with a smile.

"Oh I see you have a way with evil people like him." Mac said with a small smile. At that moment she knew that she cared and loved the man that held her in his arms. "Judson I think that I just figured something out."

"What's that?" Judson said his eyes starting to flutter closed and his body started to slouch.

"Judson wake up." Mac said loudly to wake her friend. She sat up slowly and regretted doing it

as a wave of dizziness wash over her. "Judson I love you."

Judson eyes opened wide up and saw that it had been hard for the ex-special ops personal to say this.

"I love you too." Judson replied as his world went black as he crumpled to the ground.

"Judson come on wake up, Judson?" Mac said terrified that she might have lost the one person that she cared for this way before. She checked for a pulse and found one but it was very weak.

"Great, just great." Mac said as she laid down beside Judson and let the darkness of un-concisions engulf her.

On the other side of the door the demon Dakota watched through the spy hole in the center of the door. He watched as both Mac and Judson blacked out. If those two were to die then there would be a lot of trouble for his kind. That young Gabriel and his older brother Christian would hunt him down and destroy him on the spot, but there was nothing that he could do for them now.
