Here's the next chapter :3

Rin cautiously stood up, the sword even with his throat the entire time.

"I'll ask again, who are you?" Felix demanded. Rin narrowed his eyes. He could see in Felix's eyes that he already knew the answer, but he wanted Rin to confirm it.

"You already know who I am," Rin said. "I'm Rin Oku-"

"Don't play dumb!" Felix snapped. "I sense large amounts of power and energy from you," He glanced at Marla, "from her too, but not as much as you."

What did Felix mean by, "sense large amounts of power and energy"? Did he mean he could sense their demonic powers? Was that even possible?

"So let me rephrase my question," Felix growled, a gleam in his eye. "Just what are you?"

Rin was hesitant to answer, but glanced down at the sword pointed at his throat, and decided to answer. He gritted his teeth. "I'm a half-demon," Felix's eyes flashed with frustration.

"So, that would mean you were born to a human, correct?" Felix asked suddenly. Rin nodded, wondering where he was going with this. Felix took a step toward Rin, then said, "So tell me, who's your father?"

Rin glanced around. There had to be something he could do- no way in hell was he about to tell a dude he just met that he was the son of Satan. Especially not in Gehenna. He suddenly yelled, "What the-?!"

Felix jumped, looking around, and Rin seized his chance. He dropped down and kicked Felix's feet out from under him. Felix fell backward, his head banding hard against the floor, stunning him, and the sword clattered out of his hand.

"April fools motherfucker!" He yelled as he darted across the room, scooping up his sword.

Fear filled her, and she felt tears well up in her eyes. She jumped as she felt hands lay on her shoulders, and she glanced over her shoulder to see older sister. Blossom had cleared the horror from her eyes, but fear still lingered.

"Come on," She whispered. "We need to hide." Blossom's voice shook as she spoke, making Lily feel more frightened. She glanced back at her father, who had stood up and was glaring into the shadows. Blossom grabbed her sister's arm and pulled her down the hall. They ran into a room and pulled the door shut, locking it as racket ringed through the house.

"Blossom, what's happening?" Lily whispered.

"Demons," Blossom whispered back. Lily trembled, trying to shut out the sounds of fighting and screeching. The sounds of battle did not decrease. Suddenly the door to their room burst open, and demons streamed through. Lily shrieked and struggled as they grabbed her and pulled down the hall, throwing her onto the ground of the main room.

She heard Blossom hit the ground beside her. She glanced up, seeing her father fighting against a humanoid demon with shoulder length orange hair. The demon that had attacked her sister and herself spoke a name she could decipher. She snuck a glance at her attacker. He had white hair and blood red eyes.

"If you kill them I will make you pay!" Lily's father yelled, still locked in battle with the orange-haired demon.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't kill them. I'm just going to erase their memories and leave them for dead!" He laughed wickedly. "And there's nothing you can do about it!"

"Astaroth, I swear I'll kill everyone last one of you!"

Lily's blood went cold with fear, and her heart pounded in her chest.

Everything went black.

Rin glanced at his sleeping comrades, wondering how they were still asleep. He glanced at Felix, who had pulled himself to his feet. Felix glanced at his friends, and a quick flash of triumph flashed through his eyes. Rin was instantly sure of why they hadn't woken up from the look in the demon's eyes.

"What did you do?!" Rin demanded.

"Don't worry; it's only a sleeping spell. They'll wake up-once I deactivate the spell, of course." Felix said slyly.

Rin clenched his fists, anger welling in his chest. For once why couldn't he have listened to Yukio? His brother had known something was up, but Rin hadn't listened. And now looked at what was happening.

"Now, will you tell me what I want to know? Or will I have to fight for it?" Felix added, raising his sword. Rin hesitated, wondering if he could win a fight in his condition. His wounds from his last battle hadn't healed yet. Thinking about the injuries caused some pain to come back to the surface. It's not like I actually have a choice; I can't tell him Satan's my father…

Felix let out a quick sigh. "I didn't want to fight you, you know. It's not necessarily my thing. But if your identity has a chance of putting my friends in danger, then I have no choice."

He's just trying to protect his friends? Rin thought. If that's the case, it might be fine to tell him…but can I be sure to trust him?

Felix lunged at him, and Rin was surprised by his speed. He ducked out of the way of the pointed sword, but lost his balance, causing him to roll and jump back up in a fighting position. His ribs were obviously making it known they did not like the idea of moving at the moment. Rin realized he had accidently let go of his sword while dodging the attack.

Felix had noticed that as well, and picked it up. Rin bit his lip. If Felix unsheathed that sword then he'd know…

His heart sank as he saw Felix's hand go for the handle. Rin tried to run forward to stop him, but of course, at that exact moment, his ankle decided to FREAKING GIVE OUT, causing him to trip. "Wait, don't unsheathe-!" He tried to yell, but it was too late. Felix pulled the sword from its sheathe. Rin felt as the blue flames erupted from him.

Felix stared wide-eyed at Rin.

"YOU'RE THE NEW FREAKING PRINCE EVERYONE'S BEING HEARING ABOUT?!"

Rin blinked. That had not been the reaction he had been expecting. Well, he wasn't sure exactly what he had been expecting, but it wasn't that. "That's a first," He muttered.

"What's a first?" Felix asked, still staring at Rin.

"Usaully when people find out about the whole being-Satan's-kid thing, they freak out, screaming stuff like, 'demon!' or 'monster!'. But, this is Gehenna, so I guess things would be different here…" He said, talking to himself. Felix was speechless.

"Oh, uh, do you mind sheathing my sword..?" Rin added. Felix slid the sword back into the sheathe, and the flames died down.

"Oh, yeah, I'll just deactivate that spell now…" Felix said and snapped his fingers. Suddenly they heard a scream and they jumped.

"Eh..?" A voice said sleepily. Kline pulled himself into a sitting position, rubbing his eyes. "Was that a scream?"

Lily woke with a jolt, looking around at her surroundings. It took a second for her memories to come flowing back to her. Rin and Felix were standing facing each other, looking as if they'd seen a ghost. Beside her, Blossom was slowly waking up. Kline was already half-awake, sitting a few feet away. Yukio had woken up as well and was already standing up. Marla was also waking up.

Lily looked at her hands, the dream still lingering in her head. What the heck had happened?! Was it just a bad dream or…

Lily shuddered, not wanting to think of what it could've been.

"I've got to go see what the scream was," Felix said, running out of the cabin. Lily shook her head, pushing the dream to the back of her head. I can think about it later, she thought. Right now I need to focus on reality.

She stood up. "We should go investigate as well,"

Kline pulled himself to his feet, yawning, as well as Marla and Blossom. Blossom had a grim expression, a little fear floating in her eyes. Yukio walked over to Rin, muttering in his ear. Rin's eyes hardened and a little anger sparked in them as Yukio walked toward the door. They hurriedly followed him, walking outside the cabin.

The light was brighter, the sky a lighter shade of red. Lily felt a bit nervous as she glanced around at the demon villagers, seeing humanoids, coaltar, cat sidhes, greenmen, etc. But all their attention was focused at the entrance to the village, which Felix was running toward. Lily could just make out a girl about the same age as her, if not older, limping into the village. A dark purple tail swooshed behind her. As far as Lily could tell, she had pitch black hair that was straight and got curly at the ends. She was wearing black pants, a black jacket, and a blue shirt. She was clutching her right arm, scarlet blood dripping off her fingertips.

They stood at the back of the crowd, watching as Felix led her up were they were. He layed her down, on the grass, the crowd standing back to give them space.

"Someone get some bandages, water, and herbs!" Felix commanded. At once, the crowd spilt up to gather the items. Seeing the teenage demon up close, Lily could see she looked around 16. Of course, you could never tell with demons. They could look 10 and actually be 250.

They watched as Felix bandaged the wound on the girl's arm. After he was done, she sat up. "Thanks."

"No problem, Petra." Felix said. Petra glanced over at them, curiosity lighting her eyes. She seemed to already have forgotten her injury. "What happened?"

Petra turned her attention back to Felix. "I was attacked by a Sihde Clan patrol. Apparently I had accidently passed into their territory." She glanced back up at Lily and the others. "Anyway, who are these newcomers? More strays from Assiah?"

Lily instantly felt sour toward her attitude toward them. She had a feeling she wasn't going to like this 'Petra' very much.

After introductions, explanations, and stuff, Lily decided she truly did not like Petra very much. Petra seemed kinda full of herself, and not very welcoming to newcomers. Lily had also noticed Felix glancing at Rin a lot, belief flashing through his eyes, which made Lily wonder.

She decided she needed to tell Blossom about her dream ASAP, so at the next opening, she led her sister away from the others.

"What is it?" Blossom asked once the others were out of earshot.

"I had a really weird dream last night," Lily began.

"Me too,"

"And…well, what happened was that I was at our house, at least I think it was our house, and we were under attack. You were there, and I think our father as well. And so was Astaroth," Lily said.

"Same here," Blossom said slowly.

"And I think…I think it was our past…" Lily said. Blossom jerked her head up, then looked away, her bangs hiding her expression.

A thought dawned on Lily. "Wait, do you know something?!"

Blossom nodded. She drew in a deep breath, then turned back toward Lily. "Yeah…it was our past…what happened before we found ourselves on the streets one day."

"I can remember everything now," Lily said. "Our mother, our father, growing up…"

"I have a confession," Said Blossom hesitantly. Lily waited. "I never forgot our past…. But when I figured out you didn't remember, I decided not to tell you. I tried forgetting it myself, but it was impossible."

Lily stared at her sister in utter confusion and anger. "Why did you keep it from me?! How could you?!"

"Because I didn't want to believe it myself!" Blossom interrupted, clenching her fists. "I didn't want to believe our mother was dead, that our life had been ripped from us… or that… or that our father did nothing to save us! I felt abandoned, and I didn't want you to carry that burden as well!"

Lily looked away, felling a lump of bitterness in her throat. Only one thought was in her mind, "sometimes it's better to just forget than remember…"

"Come on, let's go back to the others," Blossom muttered and walked back toward their friends. Lily slowly followed her, thoughts swarming through her head one after another.

Felix looked behind him, making sure no one was following. After he was sure he was alone, he slid into a cabin at the front of the village by the entrance. He walked through a doorway leading to a separate room. He saw his two guests standing there, waiting paitently.

"Astaroth, Astsria," Felix laughed. "Welcome to my village,"
