Author's Notes: Sorry Guys I know this is late, but it's taking a lot longer to unpack then I suspected, and I'm still not done; but I decided to take a long enough break to finish this chapter. It's a little shorter than the rest but I feel it's about time that Will had his own chapter since the others have been mostly focusing on his mother and father with him only being mentioned.

So please let me know what you think.

(Back with Will...)

He had known from the beginning that leaving with that witch was a bad idea…

One moment they were leaving the safety of his father's home, talking about going out for ice cream and visiting the town fair before it got too dark. Then before he knew it Will watched as dark shadowy creatures grabbed him and his mother, dragging them into the darkness.

The young demon prince struggled in his hold, but it was no use. These shadow beings were far stronger then he thought.

"No stop Kate why are you doing this!" Lara screamed as she too struggled to get free.

"You fool" Kate cackled.

Lara watched in horror as her best friend Kate slowly changed into a horrifying old hag. "For months I have been searching for the prince of demons. Kidnapping every child that even had a trace of power in them!" the hag spitted in her face.

"You!" Lara screamed. "You're the kidnapper!" she struggled in her restrains.

"Yes, and time after time again I was disappointed to find that they were not the heir of the king. Regardless, I was determined, I knew that there must be a child involved! After all why else would the King vanish without a trace for five years?! And now I've finally have him!" The old hag cackled with delight.

"You won't get away with this!" Lara screamed.

"Oh you silly little girl don't you see?" The hag mused mockingly. "I already have!"

William watched as the old hag snapped her fingers causing a black cane to appear. He then watched as the hag swung it at his mother's head knocking her out within an instant.

"There that should shut her up." The hag whispered. "Now as for you my little prince." Will couldn't help but shake with fear as the old hag turned to him.

"You'll need something a little stronger to put you to sleep." The hag snapped her fingers again and a bottle appeared. She poured a handful of the purple powdery dust into her hand and blew it into his face.

'Sleeping Dust! 'William realized the truth a little too late. He and his mother had just been captured by a witch and where there are witches a demon Master is sure to follow.

"I have found him Master!" the old hag praised confirming the boy's suspicions.

William tried to fight the effects of the dust but was no use. He soon lost the battle and was swallowed into the darkness.

(Some Time Later...)

Consciousness...

It came slowly for him, and the first thing he heard was the sound of his own mother's screams.

William forced his eyes opened to a gruesome sight.

The witch was stabbing Lara several times over and over again!

The boy struggled to fight off the sleeping dust that was still coursing through his very being, but it was easier said than done. For at the age of five Will had yet to tap into his true power.

Every demon had the power to teleport from place to place, to shape shift, to levitate objects, and possessed futuristic awareness. All demons could read minds, Possess other beings, and travel through dimensions; but what set them all apart was their own individual power.

As a dream demon William had the power to turn his own imagination into reality. If he could dream it he could do it! He was capable of Illusion Manipulation, Intangibility, Molecular Manipulation, Nightmare Inducement, and Dream Walking; the ability to walk into another beings mind. An ability that gave him the power to learn someone's darkest secrets, and even worse, destroy their mind entirely. But sadly William had yet to tap into his true gifts leaving him more vulnerable than ever.

His mother's screams grew louder with every passing second. Will clenched is eyes shut as his anger began to boil over; her every scream cutting him deep with guilt. He had felt the danger in Kate and yet he still had done nothing!

If William could claw his eyes out, he swear that he would not hesitate to do so. Unfortunately at the moment his hands were far too busy being chained up against a dungeon wall.

How many times had his father told him to trust his instincts? To never ignore them no matter how harmless the threat may appear to be? If his father were here then William was sure that he would simply watch as he died a slow and painful death.

William clenched his fist tight as his mother's screams grew even louder, it was then that he finally found his voice. "Lea- leave her- alone!" he screamed.

The dungeon went dead quiet; except for the sound of his mother, who whimpered quietly from her wounds.

"Well look who's finally awake..." The witch mused as he stepped towards him.

The boy cringed as the old witch, reached out to caress his cheek.

"Don't touch him you monster!" Lara screamed despite her pain.

The witch pauses and turns to his mother with an evil cackle, her laughter bounced off the dungeon. walls. "You humans are so easy to fool, all I had to do was send a letter to your dear mommy claiming to be your long lost friend. I say that I wish to help you get into a better school so you and your son can have a future, and she gobbles it up!" The witch cackles even louder.

"You! It was you on the phone!" Lara screamed as her chains grew tighter and tighter as she struggled to get free her pain lost in her desperation to save her son.

"Now you're getting it!" the witch sighed. "Your mother filled out all the paperwork, and I waited for your arrival. You came earlier than planned, but I knew you'd fall for my clever disguise." She explained further. "However, I never expected it would be this easy! He left you completely unguarded, the fool. My master will be so pleased!"

"Master?" Lara asked slightly confused.

"Well yes I'm a witch aren't I?" the witch snapped. "And what kind of witch doesn't serve a demon?! I am Sheba, and my master Lord Bares has been waiting to steal the demon throne for centuries! Now that you've brought me his heir, Lord Bares can consume him and take his rightful place on the throne!"

"You monster!" Lara screamed struggling even more. "You won't get away with this; you hear me?! Lucas will come and-"

"By the time his royal majesty finds this place the deed will already be done." The witch, Sheba laughed. "It's a shame really." She scoffed as she stroked Will's cheek. "Even if the King could somehow defeat Lord Bares and make him pay for stealing his heir it wouldn't matter. After all he could have a thousand more children and none of them would even come close to being as powerful as his first born son."

Will struggled to pull his face away, but Sheba held a firm grip on his chin. He wished he could break free from these chains, but it was no use. He figured the witch must have used a spell or something to cancel out his powers. Of course his father had warned him about witches, humans who sale their souls in exchange for unimaginable power and eternal life. Of course they could still be killed by a being of greater power. Still, even if Will could get free and somehow end the witch he knew he'd be no match for a demon Lord.

Demons were separated into six categories…new borns, underlings, aristocrats, lords, alphas, and gods. New borns being the weakest and gods being the strongest. Of course there hadn't been any gods since demons were forced to stop bonding with one another; for only bonded demons and their children could reach such heights of power.

Will's Father, Lucas being the king of all Demons was an Alpha and made it his business to be the only one in the Nightmare Realm, and destroyed anyone who tried to change that fact. The king's greatest threat out of the 5 levels of demons beneath him were the demon lords. For once they consumed enough energy they could succeed into alphas; thus giving them the power to stand a chance in challenging Lucas for the throne.

William knew he had to stop that from happening, but his chains refused to let him go.

Lara struggled as well wishing nothing more than for all of this to be a terrible nightmare. How could she have been so gullible? Didn't Lucas warn her of the dangers? What was she thinking blindly following a friend that she hadn't seen in years, after all if Lucas could possess Will's human father wasn't it safe to say that other demons could do this too!

Lara watched as Sheba drawled out a knife and cuts it deeply into her son's skin.

William screamed as his body felt as if it had been lit on fire. He knew right away that the knife must had been made of iron and coated with unicorn blood. This gave the blade the power to cut threw demon flesh. Of course it wasn't needed here since Will was still part human, any blade would do the job; but it became apparent that Sheba only did this to cause the boy more pain.

"Stop it you're hurting him!" Lara screamed.

"Silence fool!" Sheba hiss. "Since the boy has not yet ascended to his demon form there is little energy to consume. If Lord Bares wishes to have all the boy's power, including the future abilities to come; then the only way is to consume every last drop of his blood." Sheba explained as she dug the knife in deeper.

Lara struggled even harder as William's screams grew louder, but it was no use. Lara stopped struggling as the reality of her situation settled in taking hold of her very being. It was all over for them; this was the end. She should have stayed home like she had been told, but now it was too late, because she was about to lose her son forever; and this time he wouldn't be saved.

'No! 'Lara thought as a power she had never known began to fill her. "You will not take him away from me!" Lara screamed.

Sheba stubble back as the dungeon began to shake around them. "You?" She turned to Lara and began to shake in fear.

William force himself to ignore his pain and turned his head towards is mother. Only it wasn't the warm and caring woman he had once known. Lara's eyes glowed a strange purple as her hair seemed to defy gravity floating in the air, revealing her birth mark which glowed in the same brilliant purple as her eyes.

"It can't be!" Sheba trembled as Lara began to pull on her chains and Sheba's eyes widened as the iron began to bend and break.

Will watched as his mother freed her right arm with a snap of her chains as if they were nothing more than tissue paper.

"No it's impossible you're not supposed to exist your all supposed to be gone!" Sheba shook even more as Lara's left arm broke free releasing her from her prison. The witch coward as Lara stormed towards her, her eyes piercing threw her own. Sheba knew that she was no match for one of 'Her Kind' for she was merely a witch a servant of a Demon Lord; and this girl was a children of the stars, a guardian of Earth Realm.

"You will rue the day that you chose to harm my son!" Lara screamed.

Sheba knew that it was flight or die, and though her master would not be pleased she chose flight. "You have not seen the last of me." she vowed before disappearing in a brilliant white light.

Lara screamed as a powerful force erupted from her causing Will's chains to crumble. Then she falls to the ground knocked out cold.

"Mother!" William rushes to her side fearfully. "Mom!" he shakes her arm trying his best to wake her… she does not respond. Finally he places his ear to her chest, he sighs in relief as he hears her heart beating rapidly. The boy breaks down into tears and hugs her close for what could have been seconds; seconds that felt like hours when he suddenly feels the presence of another.

Will turns to see his father…

Lucas had been standing there for some time, he had planned to attack the witch himself. That was until he felt the power building up inside of Lara. Finally he had proof that she was indeed a Star Child.

"Where were you?" William whispered. He expected his father to have some excuse or at least scowl him for crying like a weak human, but he said nothing! "Where were you?!" William screamed even louder. "We needed you! Why did you leave us alone?" The boy screams louder as blue flames engulf him.

The demon king walked over to his son slowly.

William closes his eyes preparing himself for the possible backlash. However, his father simply picked his mother up in his arms and turned away. "Come we are leaving!" was all that he said before he began to walk away. It was in this moment that William began to question his father for the first time, and for good reason.

He could feel the danger his mother was now in just by being in his arms. She was not safe with him; he could feel it, and his father always told him to trust his instincts.

And this time he would do exactly that!
