Chapter 7: The Truce

A few minutes later after falling asleep, Emily slowly lifted her hand and asked the heart to show her where her mother is. The heart showed the underworld and her mother on the ground bleeding to death. After seeing that, Emily got up and made a fold to Kandrakhar. When she got there, she saw Rose talking to the Oracle. "Rose, I need to talk to talk to the Oracle about a healing potion or something so that I can go get my mom out from the underworld." Emily explained.

"I can help you with that Emily. Jakes grandfather has the potions to heal you. That is if it is ok if I leave my daughter here with the Oracle." Rose looked to the Oracle for permission and the Oracle nodded. "Then take us to earth Emily." Emily made the fold and they were off. The ended up in Rose's house but when they landed Rose saw Emily holding her stomach. "Are you ok Emily?"

"Yeah, well, actually no. My sides are killing me. I think I am going to" But before she could finish her sentence, she threw up but this time it wasn't bloody. Rose picked her up and carried her all the way to Jakes grandpa. Fifteen minutes later, they had finally arrived at the shop.

"Rose, what are you doing here and who is that?" Jakes grandfather asked

"This is Emily, and she needs a quick acting healing potion. Apparently Will and the others are in the underworld and alive, I don't know how but they are." Rose explained as Fu came in with the potion. Emily drank it and in two minutes she was back in fighting shape. Then Fu gave her a demon potion to drink before she left.

"So Rose, you think that they are really alive?" Fu asked

"No Fu, I know they are; I just hope that Emily will be able to take care of herself." Rose said worried about the young girl.

In the underworld, Emily was sneaking around trying to find her mom then heard voices and hid behind a giant rock. 'Those humans back there are as good as dead.' The last thing she heard as the demons past was laughing. After they had past, she quickly made it to her mom. "Psst, mom." Emily whispered. Then all heads turned toward the noise and all looked angrily at her. Emily got up closer and closer until she reached them. Then she made a fold just as a demon walked up to them but did nothing as Emily got everyone through. Emily was the last to go through or so she thought. Right as the fold was about to close, the demon came through. "What do want and why didn't you try to stop me?" Emily asked angrily.

"Look, I don't like what Katori is doing so I am going to start a rebellion against him. How about a truce?" Mey asked.

"Why should I trust anything you say?" Emily asked suspiciously.

"I know that you don't want anything to do with me, but if I really wanted to kill you or stop you from taking them, don't you think I would have?" Mey asked Emily. "Demons weren't always after humans but ever since the dominion came into play, everything has taken a turn for the worst and I want to help set everything right. I want everything to go back to the way it used to be. Will you help me accomplish that?" Mey said sincerely.

"Fine, I will help you but first help me get my mom and her friends to the hospital while I go look for my dad and his friends." Emily said still not trusting Mey fully.

"I will go get them after we get them to the hospital." Mey said

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go." Emily said picking up two of the five people while Mey picked up the other three. After getting to the hospital Mey said goodbye and headed back to the underworld.

When Mey arrived, Katori was gone and there was one guard at the prison gates. The guard asked what she was here for so Mey said the obvious thing. "I was asked to check on the prisoner." The guard knew that they had just been checked but let her go through wanting to avoid getting himself killed. When Mey was out of site, he went to get Katori.

Mey walked through the prison trying to find the cell that the recent prisoners were in. Ten minutes later, she had reached her destination. She opened the cell doors and found everyone asleep. So she took the opportunity to grab them and transport them back to earth. Unfortunately she could only carry one person at a time so it took five minutes. She was about to take the last prisoner to earth when Katori came into the cell. Then she had quickly teleported to earth right before Katori could grab her.

Back on earth, Mey had found Emily carrying one of the wounded girls to an old shop so she followed. Emily walked into a shop and Mey followed and dropped of the prisoner then teleported back to the underworld. When she returned, she found that there were wanted posters all over the place so she ran to a secret area underground and met some fellow demons. Then one of the demons spoke up. "Mey, you have been caught, what should we do?"

"Let's get to earth and join the rest of our rebels." All the demons had teleported to earth. Mey had led them to the shop that she was at earlier. At that point, all the prisoners were healed and awake. Jake saw the horde of demons coming he alerted the group but Emily stopped him once she saw who was leading them. Then Mey walked in. "Emily, get everyone outside." Everyone looked at Emily and trusted that she knew what she was doing when they saw her nod. They all headed outside to meet the others.

"Emily, these are the rebels that I was able to gather up but this won't be enough to take on the dominion so that is why we need you and your friends. I don't know what it is Katori is planning but it isn't good, so we need to be on our guard or we could royally screwed. This is our rebellion, I don't know if it will be enough but it will have to do for the sake of humanity and demons alike. I have three hundred demons here. How many allies do you have to help fight other than who is here now?" Mey asked

"We have a lot of allies, if they are willing to help us, I don't know." Emily explained to Mey.

"Ok then, this is where the fight begins, with a truce between demons and humans." Mey and Emily said in unison.

In the underworld, Katori was making plans for the invasion. "Seri, I need you to go to the rest of the dominion leaders and get them to bring all their followers here." Seri nodded and left the building. "Get ready Mey, I will be getting the whole dominion after you and your earth friends.." Then he chuckled a little and turned around in his chair.
