The Baby Dilemma Ch 18
Something told Torian to move quickly. He turned, waking as he rolled to the side. He was glad he did, as a knife stabbed into the place where his head had been on the pillow.
"The fuck?" Torian was tackled to the ground beneath a shrieking Devi, who was biting and clawing at every piece of flesh he could get at.
"Get off me!" Torian kicked him in the ribs, but the demon wouldn't be deterred.
"Oh my god!" Abel cried, catching Devi around the torso and flinging him off Torian. He lunged for the demon, pinning him face down on the ground with his arms behind his back.
Devi shrieked in terror before falling back to his nearly catatonic state.
"Okay, someone is so going to need to watch him twenty-four-seven!" Torian licked at the wounds on his arms.
"I would've understood him attacking me like that when we first met, but what is it about me that triggered him this time? I mean I'm...when we make love I'm on the bottom, so I don't see why he attacked me instead of you," Torian frowned. Reaching over he wiped the sweaty bangs out of Devi's void eyes.
"What are we going to do with you, little one?" Torian frowned, he knew he would be scarred from Devi's teeth, he had seen enough scars on Silver from Devi's childhood; but that didn't bother him nearly as much as why Devi could have attacked him.
Devi's eyes glowed bright silver before dying down again.
"Well at least he's getting his powers back," Torian wanted to gather Devi up into his arms, but he knew now that he couldn't trust him and that hurt more than anything.
Devi had never ever looked at him like he was a monster even knowing what he was. Devi had always offered him a smile and had even pulled pranks on him without worrying over the consequence. Even when his hunger was out of control Devi always willingly embraced him.
"We'll reverse whatever was done to you, I promise! Just hold on until then," Torian yanked his hand back when Devi suddenly snapped his teeth at him, just barely missing his fingers. Now I know how Sevron used to feel when I would bite at him.
"I'm so sorry! I only left him for a second!" Sevriel ran into the room. He gathered Devi up off the floor, standing the little demon up.
Devi looked up at him curiously before untying the knot on his robe and letting it drop to the floor, revealing his battered body to Sevriel's eyes.
"No, Devi. No, you don't have to do that ever again if you don't want to," Sevriel quickly covered him up, and then, holding him tightly to his side, left the room.
"He's just confused, don't take it to heart," Abel kissed Torian, trying to ease his turmoil. Torian clung to him, sobbing into his shoulder.
