"Mom." Nine-year-old Devon whined. "I don't want to go to work with you."

"Devon, we can't get a babysitter in time. I know it's no fun, so you should bring a book or something along, okay?"

"Mom, it's not fair. Why can't we just stay home? I'm ten, I can watch the two of us." Kaiden frowned.

"Boys, I'm sorry. Your father is away on business and I'm sorry, but you are coming with me."

"Mom! That's so unfair!" Ten-year-old Kaiden Blake crossed his arms across his chest in a form of protest. His light green eyes glowered at his mother for a moment before giving up, knowing it was pointless. "Fine. Whatever."

Danielle sighed. "Come on, boys, we'd better get going." She loaded her sons into her car before driving to the jewelry store she worked at.

"Why does Dad work all the time?" Kaiden grumbled. "I don't like it here."

"He works all the time so that we can afford nice things, Kaiden."

"That's what you do."

"His work pays for more than mine does."

"Sure. It still doesn't explain why he's gone all the time." Kaiden frowned, his dark brown hair flopping into his eyes.

"He goes away on business." Devon explained.

"So?" Kaiden scolded his younger brother, Kaiden's light green eyes avoiding his brother's dark green ones. "That's no excuse."

"He could lose his job, sweetie."

"So?"

"Then we would be out on the streets."

"He could at least be home more often."

"He's home as often as he can be, Kaiden."

"Sure he is."

"Kaiden, I don't want to hear one more word against your father, do you understand?"

"Mom, how can you stand up for him? He's never home, and if he is, he's drunk!"

"That's enough!" She cried, before sighing. "That's enough."

Kaiden frowned again. "But-"

Danielle pulled into her parking space. "Please. Mommy is very tired, and she needs you to behave today, alright?"

"Okay, okay. Sorry, mom." Kaiden rolled his eyes. Danielle sighed and got out of the car, and so did the boys. She wrapped her arms around them.

"I love you. I'm sorry your father isn't home more often."

"I love you too." Kaiden sighed. "How long are you working today?"

"I managed to get a shorter shift today, so I'll only be working for an hour."

"Then can we go out to eat?" Kaiden smiled.

"Of course." Danielle smiled down at her boys.

"Yay!" Kaiden grinned. They walked into the store, and the boys sat in the back while Danielle worked the counter. Suddenly, two masked (and armed) robbers burst into the store.

Danielle did her best to keep her cool. "How can I help you?" She smiled.

"Give us everything you have." One of them said in an overly gruff robber voice.

"I'm sorry, that's not possible."

"Excuse me?"

"I said that I can't."

"And why not?"

"Because, it's not yours. I'm going to kindly ask you to leave."

"Kindly? I think you're in no position to ask us to leave." The man waved his gun at her.

Danielle held up her hands. "You're making a mistake. A daylight robbery? You'll never get away with this."

"And why won't we?"

"The police are already on their way. Not only do we have cameras, but I'll testify."

"Oh you will, will you?"

"Yes. So leave, and we won't press charges."

"You won't press charges?" He teased.

"No, so leave while you still can."

"I should leave? How about this, you give me the money, and the jewelry, and I'll leave."

"How about you leave, and then you don't spend your life in prison?"

"Hmmm... Tempting offer, but no. How about you give me what I want, then I don't have to kill you?"

"Tempting offer, but you don't want blood on your hands, do you?"

The man smiled and shrugged. "Why don't we just end the chatter and give me the money? Only the money."

"Not even the money."

"Why not?"

"Because it's not yours. Now get out of my shop!"

"Make me." He raised the gun and didn't hesitate to shoot. "Damn, she was annoying." Devon, who had been hiding in the back with Kaiden, screamed.

"MOM!"

"You idiot." Kaiden hissed in his brother's ear, covering his brother's mouth to keep him quiet.

"Someone else here?" The other robber asked.

"I dunno. There shouldn't be. He said that it'd only be her." the man looked down at the woman he'd just shot, her blood seeming onto the floor. "Maybe. Go check." Kaiden pulled Devon into a corner to hide from the men.

As one of the robbers began to collect jewelry, the other went to go see if there was anyone else in the building. As he got closer, Devon began panicking, though he tried to keep quiet. Stopping to collect money, the robber burst into the room where the two boys were. Shocked to see two little kids in the room, the man instinctively raised his gun at them.

"Who are you?" Devon looked at Kaiden, as if to say You're the older one. Answer him.

"Who are you?" Kaiden answered. Devon smiled at his brother's sass.

"I'm the man holding a gun at your face. Try again."

"Nobody." Devon answered.

The robber's gun moved to Devon's head. "Oh really?" He teased.

"Leave us alone."

"Do you know why we're here?"

"No." Devon lied.

"I think you do." The man narrowed his eyes. "So let's try again. "Do you know why we're here?"

"I told you, we don't know!"

"Liar!" the man slapped Devon across the face.

"Hey! Don't touch my brother!" Kaiden shouted.

"Yeah!" Devon agreed, placing his hand over the red mark growing on his cheek.

"Brothers? Now what would two little boys be doing in the back of a jewelry store? I'd wager a guess that was your mother out there, wasn't it?" Devon sat silent, glaring at the man. "Oh, it was. Hmm." The man smiled crookedly, then called his partner in crime into the room. When the other man walked into the room, Devon shrunk into Kaiden.

"What are you gonna do to us?" Kaiden asked quietly.

"Well, we're going to let you go home, of course." Devon sighed in relief. He could see his mother's blood trickling along the floor in the hallway.

"In itty bitty pieces." The other added. "Unless, of course, you do everything we say." Devon didn't mean to, but he whimpered.

"What do you want from us?" Kaiden demanded. Devon glanced at the door, trying to decide if making a run for it was plausible.

"If you do what we say, we won't have a problem, and you can go home soon. Now, we want you to come with us, unless you want to join your mommy there."

"Why?"

"Because I said so, that's why."

Devon exchanged a look with Kaiden. "Should we?"

"He'll kill us if we don't." Kaiden said slowly.

"Is dying worth it? I promise, it'll hurt." Devon stood up with Kaiden.

"Fine, we'll go with you. But you can't hurt my brother," Kaiden frowned.

"Fine, fine," The robber- turned murderer and now kidnapper- sneered. The boys followed the men out to their getaway vehicle.

"Get in, keep quiet, and do anything else, I'll shoot you." The boys got in the car quickly but carefully, both just about ready to cry.

"Drive." One of the robbers snapped at the other, turning around to point a gun at the boys. "We're just going to go out of the way and count out money, is all."

"Why won't you let us go?"

"We just need to count our profits, that's all."

Devon leaned into Kaiden quietly.

"That's all?" Kaiden asked.

"Yeah." The driver nodded.

The robbers didn't say anything more until they arrived where they'd planned on going. "Alright, boys, out. No funny business."

Devon opened the side door and crawled out before Kaiden. "I'm scared."

"Don't worry. They promised not to hurt you, okay?"

"Did I say you could talk?" One of the robbers snapped.

"You're mean," Devon frowned.

"I try." The robber grinned.

"Why'd you kill our mom?"

"Why'd she not just give over the money?"

"Because it's not your money."

"It's not yours either."

"No, it belongs to the store."

"Then why can't I have it?"

"Because you're jerks."

"Come on." The other robber growled, grabbing Devon's arm forcibly and dragged him inside.

"You said you wouldn't hurt my brother!" Kaiden snapped.

"Now, both of you go downstairs, and shut up, and I won't have to use this." He pointed his gun at Devon. "Get downstairs. Now." Devon's eyes filled with tears as he ran downstairs.

"You said you wouldn't hurt him." Kaiden frowned.

"And I said nothing about not hurting you." The robber pushed Kaiden down the basement stairs, and the boy tumbled down in the dark as the robber slammed shut the door.

"Kaiden!"

"I'm fine." Kaiden groaned, trying to find his brother in the dark. Devon reached his hand out and grabbed Kaiden's.

"I'm sorry."

"Are you alright?" Kaiden asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, are you okay?"

"I'll be fine. As long as you're okay."

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"They aren't going to bring us home."

"But… They said…"

"They lied. They killed mom, and they are holding us captive. Why do you think they told us everything?"

"I… I don't know."

"They aren't just going to send us home after this. We could tell the police."

"How?"

"Don't worry about it, alright? I'll find a way out." Kaiden sighed.

From upstairs, the robbers began arguing. Devon nodded and looked around, but it was too dark to see.

"I bet they're arguing about what to do with us. They didn't expect to become kidnappers too."

"Or murderers."

"Don't think about that."

"Dad's gonna be mad when he comes home."

"If he comes home."

"He's gotta come home."

"What if he doesn't? What if we don't?" Kaiden sighed, reaching for his brother in the dark. Devon grabbed his brother's hand, careful not to let go.

"Dad wouldn't leave us. As soon as he hears that mom's…"

"Dad? You think dad cares? He's never home."

"He's the only chance we have."

"He's not a good chance." Kaiden sighed. "We'll be fine."

"Okay. I trust you."

"I promise." Devon nodded and tried to listen to what the men were arguing about.

"They know too much! You idiot, we should have just shot them at the store!"

"And leave a bigger mess?!"

"Now they know too much!"

If Devon could see, he would've searched Kaiden's eyes for any sign of hope.

"We'll be fine." Kaiden was hoping that his brother would believe him. "They're just petty criminals. They don't know what to do."

"Okay." Devon nodded.

"If we just leave them down there, they'll starve!"

"Would you rather just shoot them?"

"They're going to kill us." Devon sighed.

"Don't think like that. We'll be fine. You're going to be fine."

"What about you?"

"I... I'll be fine too. Okay?"

"Promise?"

"Promise. Okay? I promise?"

Devon nodded. "Good. Because I don't want to make it out of here if you don't."

"You're getting out of here."

"And so are you."

"Dad will take care of you, okay? I know he will, when I get you out."

"You promised you'd get out too. Dad's a jerk."

"I know what I promised, I'm just saying if I don't."

"Don't talk like that. We're both going to be okay."

"You weren't thrown down a flight of stairs." Kaiden said without thinking, then sighed. "I'm sorry. I just... You have to be alright. You're going to get out of here."

"Kaiden…"

"Devon, you're getting out of here." Kaiden promised. "No matter what."

"But Kaiden…"

"No buts, okay? I'm your brother, and I'm older, so what I say goes."

Devon stuck his tongue out at Kaiden. "Only a year. Not even, only nine months."

"And that's all that's needed." Kaiden laughed.

"You're stupid." Devon teased.

"But I'm older, so being stupid doesn't matter."

"Yes it does."

"Whatever." Kaiden chuckled. "You're still younger."

Devon giggled, even though their situation was impossible.

"You'll be fine." Kaiden nodded.

"Okay."

"I promise."

"I believe you."

"Good." Kaiden tried to keep his brother optimistic, but he honestly had no idea how to get them out of there, and his whole body ached from falling down the stairs. The men continued bickering upstairs, and Devon decided that they were far enough away and sufficiently distracted to try and sneak out.

"Come on."

"Devon, what are you doing?"

"They aren't paying attention to us. If we can be quiet…"

"No, Devon, don't. Please, you could get hurt."

"It's as good a chance as any."

"I... I'll go check, okay? I'll see if it's okay to try and escape. But stay here until I tell you to come up, alright?"

"But you're hurt."

"I don't want you to get hurt too."

"That's dumb."

"I'm serious." Kaiden sighed. "I'll tell you if you can come up."

"Fine." Devon sighed.

Kaiden shakily made his way to the top of the steps, the only proof of his actual going up there was the creaking of the steps, and he tried to open the door. Finding it was locked, he turned around to face where his brother was, down below him. "It's locked." He whispered.

"Okay. Come back down." Devon whispered back. Kaiden took a step down, but as he did the robbers swung open the door, sending him head over heels- down the stairs. The robbers, having heard the door knob, had come to investigate.

"I thought we said to be good little boys and behave. It won't be much longer now."

"KAIDEN!" Devon rushed to his brother's side. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's... fine." Kaiden said weakly.

"Keep quiet!" The robber snapped, before pulling the door shut once more.

Devon flipped off the door, hoping the robber would see it. "We're never getting out of here."

"Don't... say that."

"Kaiden, you know it's true."

"Devon... Don't be like that. You'll be fine." Kaiden sighed, trying to hold back tears. "You're going to get out of here, you have to."

"But what about you? Kaiden, we're not going to survive."

"Don't say that!" Kaiden snapped. "Devon, you can't say that."

"Dad doesn't care about us. Even if we make it, he won't take care of us."

"He'll take care of you. He likes you. Dad does care, in his own way."

"You said earlier that he's gone all the time! He doesn't care, Kaiden!"

"He doesn't care about ME!" Kaiden shot back. "It's me, it's why he's gone all the time. He doesn't care about me."

"Shut up, Kaiden. We're both going to be okay."

"Devon..."

"I mean it!"

"Devon, please, keep your voice down, you don't want them to come down here."

"Promise me you'll make it."

"I... I'll try, okay? Promise me you'll make it?"

"I'll try."

"You will make it."

"Fine."

"I mean it. You have to."

"Fine."

"Say you will. You will make it out of this. Under any means necessary."

"Okay, I'll make it."

"Good."

"You're an idiot." Devon scoffed.

"But I'm also... Your brother." Kaiden smiled at his brother, though he knew Devon couldn't see it.

"Kaiden…"

"Which means you're stuck with me, alright?"

"Okay. I don't mind being stuck with you."

"And despite you being constantly annoying, you're pretty cool... for a little brother."

"You're not bad… for a big brother."

"I would hope so." Kaiden laughed.

"Do you really think we'll get out of here?"

"I... I would like to say yes."

"Okay. I believe you."

"I'm glad you do."

"I don't really have much choice."

"Yeah, well, I don't care." Devon stuck his tongue out at his brother. "It's dark."

"Yeah. You're not afraid, are you?"

"Me, afraid?" Kaiden scoffed. "Naw. You?"

"No, of course not."

"No?"

"Shut up."

"Not afraid any monster is gonna come out of the dark?" He teased.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Kaiden, I'm sure."

"Sure you're sure?"

"Shut up, Kaiden."

"You going to make me?"

"Maybe."

"Fine, go ahead."

"No, it wouldn't be fair. You're hurt."

"Oh, fine. Later then?"

"Fine." The boys sat in silence for a few more hours, listening for the men to come down and let them out. The men, however, didn't seem to have any desire to come get them, and only faint shuffling and occasional arguments showed that the men were still there at all.

This caused Devon to get frustrated. "We're never getting out of here!"

"Don't say that. I already told you, if anyone is getting out of here, it's you."

"No, it's useless!" Devon cred, though quietly. Silently, he asked anyone who would listen to come help them.

He expected angels.

Of course, that's not what he got.

In the dark, it was easy for demon sisters Hadwyn and Darnelle to see, but the boys could only make out blurry shapes.

"Who's there?" Kaiden asked quietly.

"Only us." Darnelle answered, creating a ball of fire in the palm of her hand.

"You called for us, after all." Hadwyn added. The sudden light in the room illuminated the faces of two teenage girls.

"Who are you?"

"Does it matter?" Hadwyn laughed. "We're here to help you. Or, we could just... go."

"You did call for us, didn't you?"

"Uh..." Kaiden stammered. "No. We didn't. Who are you anyway?" He demanded, skeptical. He wasn't going to trust anyone, especially when his brother's life was at stake.

"Well, that's sort of for you to decide."

"How did you get here? Every way out is locked." Kaiden frowned.

"Magic, of course." Darnelle scoffed.

"Ma-magic?" Kaiden laughed.

Hadwyn smiled. "Looks like you've taken quite a beating, there. Maybe I could fix that up for you."

"Are you a doctor?" Devon asked.

"MAYYYYBBBBEEEEEE, I can help you." Hadwyn shrugged.

"Should we help them?" Darnelle teased.

"Hmmm... Well, they have to ask for our help." Hadwyn grinned at her sister. "Now, do you boys want help or not?"

From upstairs, the shouting of the kidnappers resumed again. "He didn't mention kids! This job was supposed to be easy!"

"Calm down, do you think he lied to us?!"

Devon glanced at his brother, and the flame in Darnelle's palm grew brighter.

"How did you get in here?" Kaiden repeated.

"Magic." Darnelle repeated. "Like this." Darnelle tossed the fire up in the air and caught it.

"How about this..." Hadwyn paused to make sure both boys and her sister were listening, "Why don't we have me talk to the older of the two of you, and my sister over there can talk to the younger brother? Then we can talk about what we can do to help you get out of here, alright?"

"Agreed."

Kaiden looked questionably at the girl in front of him.

"Now that we can talk like civilized, older siblings, let's talk," Hadwyn grinned, her eyes becoming demonic red for a moment.

"But... I don't even know who you are."

"I'm you rescuer. Obviously. Now, I can make a deal with you. I will help you accomplish one goal, and until you complete it, I will faithfully serve by your side. However..."

"What do you get out of it?" Kaiden frowned.

"In exchange for my servitude- however long it may be- I get something from you. Once we make this deal- this contract- you cannot break our deal or back out of it. I get what you owe me, once I've done all you ask of me."Hadwyn absentmindedly played with her blonde ponytail as she spoke, "In the time between then, I will do everything you say- even if I do not agree or approve. All you need to do is simply state an order, and I shall do so. I-"

"What is it you want from me?" Kaiden demanded.

"Well, I simply want your soul." Hadwyn waited for his reaction.

"Now, what's your name?" Darnelle sat down in front of the younger boy.

"D-Devon."

"Hello, Devon." She smiled, the effect somewhat creepy in the limited light.

"Who are you?"

"Well, that all depends on who you want me to be. For the moment, I'm your rescuer. But you need to make contract with me if you want me to stay your rescuer."

"Now, what is it you'd like me to do?" Hadwyn grinned.

"I... Want you to... Get me out of here." Kaiden stammered.

"Oh really? Well, then you'll be an easy meal," By now, Hadwyn's eyes were those of her demon form. "Second Choice?"

"Uh... Find out who killed my mom, then."

"Obviously the two men who are upstairs, discussing the money, how they kidnapped you, and murder. Yours, I'm afraid. Would you like a third try?"

Devon looked at Darnelle. "What do you mean contract?"

"I mean, you need to demand something of me, and then when I complete it, you'll pay me."

"I don't have any money."

"I mean your soul."

"My... Soul?"

"Exactly. Nothing big." She forced the flame to go brighter. "So, do we have a deal," she waved her hand over it and it went out. "Or not?"

"We do." Devon nodded. Darnelle took the boy's wrist.

"Now," Hadwyn grinned, "What is it you would like?"

"I got it," Kaiden looked up. "Protect us... Protect us until we find out what really happened to our mom."

"Do you agree, Devon?" Darnelle asked the younger brother.

"Yes."

"And we get your souls after, as promised?" Hadwyn confirmed, and Kaiden nodded.

"Sure. Whatever. Do we have a deal?" Kaiden frowned.

"All that's left is the contract seal," Hadwyn's eyes turned the red that matched those of her demonic form. She grabbed Kaiden's left wrist, and the mark of their contract seared into his skin, the identical mark appearing on the palm of Hadwyn's left hand, since she was left dominant. Minus the pain, of course. The same happened for Darnelle and Devon, and both of the boys let out screams of boys' cries of pain from having the seal burned into their skin caused the kidnappers on the floor above to fall silent.

"Shit," Hadwyn frowned. "Do you want them to hear you?!"

"What was that?!" Kaiden cried. "That hurt! Who are you? What are you?"

"We're simply hellishly good-"

"On second thought, I don't want to know," Kaiden interrupted his new... demonic slave. "What are your names?"

"What would you like to call us?" Hadwyn smiled, though she was focusing on the lack of noise upstairs.

"What do you mean? We get to choose what to call you?" Kaiden asked.

"We are but your humble servants. Call us what you shall like, and that is the name we will go by," Hadwyn answered, "What is it you'd like our names to be?" They're going to come downstairs.

I know. Keep it together. "How about it, Devon?"

"I like Bethany," Devon shrugged. "But how will you explain your sudden appearance? And you're British."

"Bethany? Hmmm..." Hadwyn smiled at her sister. "What do you think, Bethy?" She didn't wait for her sister to say anything before answering the questions that Devon had asked. "Well, I suppose we could always say we are your cousins from London, right?"

"Or our girlfriends," Kaiden smirked, "but cousins work, I'm thinking Emily. Our British cousins Emily and Bethany."

"Emily and Bethany. Nice, strong names."

"I do agree," Hadwyn nodded. "Now..." She heard the door at the top of the stairs open. One of the robbers crept down the stairs, carefully.

"You two alright?" He asked, slightly concerned. Then he spotted the girls. "Who the hell are you?"

Darnelle-Bethany- Stood and faced him, blocking Devon. "Doesn't matter."

"Now, now, Bethy, calm down. We can't kill them yet. They still might be of use to us," Emily grinned.

"I doubt it."

"Hmmm... Very true.. Alright, let's kill them."

"Which one would you like, Em?"

"Hmm... You can have the one who is right here. I'll take the one coming downstairs. It'll be fun. Let's race?"

"Of course." She nodded at her sister and they raced up the stairs, each killing their prey. Of course, the girls had momentarily forgotten the boys they had just made deals with, and had also forgotten how young they were. Darnelle won, though Hadwyn had given her an advantage.

"There, done."

Emily grinned and licked some of the blood off of her right hand, then placed a bloody business card into her pocket. "Now that that's taken care of, shall we bring you home?" She smiled, and Kaiden stared at her in shock.

Devon took a shaky step back as Bethany stepped forward and offered her hand to the boy.

"Don't be shy."

"We did make a contract, didn't we?" Emily smirked. "You're stuck with us now."

"Exactly. So let's get you two home."

"What.. what did... did you do to them?" Kaiden stammered.

"We took care of them." Bethany replied simply.

"Obviously." Emily scoffed. "Let's go before you two cause any more trouble." Devon placed his hand in Bethany's and they climbed to the top floor. Emily just looked at Kaiden. "Thrown down the stairs twice in one day? How exciting."

"How do we know you're not bad guys?"

"You made a contract. It's 's your name, anyway?"

Kaiden frowned, but all he said was, "Kaiden. Come on, let's go."

Through extremely fast demon running, and navigation from the boys, they were quickly on their way to the house. When they arrived at the house, Emily knocked lightly on the door to the Blake home, and Nathan- Mr. Blake- answered the door.

"Boys! I heard what happened to your mother. I came home right away, I thought you'd be home-" Mr. Blake seemed more concerned that the boys hadn't been home and hardly concerned about what had happened to his wife, "-were you at a friend's house?"

"No," Kaiden said bluntly, wincing in pain as Emily frowned.

"We were with mom. We were kidnapped," Devon answered quietly, looking at the ground.

"Wha-What? You normally get a babysitter to watch you. Are you alright?" Mr. Blake stammered.

"They're fine," Emily snapped. "And the kidnappers are dead."

Mr. Blake froze for a moment, then seemed to notice the girls for the first time. "Who are you?"

"They're our new cousins, Bethany and Emily," Devon smiled at his father.

"We'll explain in a few minutes," Bethany offered. "Perhaps the boys should get to bed?"

"Now wait just a minute, who are you, and since when do you make decisions about my sons?"

"Since they traded their souls to make a deal with us. Duh," Emily rolled her eyes.

"Night dad," Kaiden said coldly, pushing past his father to go to the room he shared with Devon. Devon followed his older brother, but he was smiling, happy to be home. He hugged his father before following after Kaiden, calling, "Kaiden, wait for me!"

The girls waited until the boys were out of earshot (so that the boys wouldn't overhear, the girls could hear from miles away), and then turned to the boys' father.

"Perhaps we should come in and talk about this?" Bethany suggested.

"Or else we can just break in. That's more fun anyway," shrugged Emily. "We're your sons' new... well, one could say demon butlers, but our cover as cousins makes more sense. We've made a contract with them that states that we will serve them faithfully and do as they wish no matter what they wish until they find out the truth behind what truly happened to their mother, and to protect them until then. Once they've achieved said goal... well, we get to eat their souls, and they die, isn't that exciting?"

"Come in." Mr. Blake commanded, hoping the neighbors hadn't heard what the seemingly sixteen-year-old girl had said.

"Thank you," Bethany nodded, and he brought them to the kitchen.

"Would you like anything to eat?"

"No, we don't eat human food much. Mainly just human souls. What?" She asked her sister, who was rolling her eyes. "It's true, isn't it?"

After a bit more explaining about who and what they really were, and why they were there, Mr. Blake informed the girls that there was one guest room that they could stay in while everything was getting worked out.

"Sorry, you'll have to share the room," Mr. Blake didn't seem too sorry, he seemed worried. Although, in retrospect, he had lost his wife and his sons had been kidnapped and now he had two demons living his house- and all in one afternoon, so he had every right to be worried.

"Meh, don't worry about it," Emily rolled her eyes, "In our time, up to four people would sleep in a bed at a time, in a typical household. It just made sense."

The man brought them to their room, and they entered the room, with a gracious smile. It wasn't much, but then again, neither was hell, so they didn't really care. Bethany sat down on the bed and Emily stood in the doorway, about to shut the door. As she did, she seemed to remember something, and she smiled.

"Oh, and Mr. Blake," Hadwyn- no, Emily- smiled at him politely. "Just so you know, we don't sleep, but don't worry, we won't bother you. Oh, and by the way, one of the kidnappers had this in his pocket." She held up a business card of Mr. Blake, to show him, then flipped it over, placing it into the palm of his hand. "We know you hired them to kill your wife, and make it look like an accident. We also know about the affair. Don't worry, we won't tell the boys. We won't tell anyone. But just so you know..." She grinned, her eyes changing to the demonic red of her demon form, "We work for your sons. And we'll do anything to get their souls. Anything."

With that, she shut the door.
