After checking on my store and helping a few customers I decide to head back to the hotel. To put it blatantly, I had this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach and I couldn't rationalize where these feelings were coming from. All I knew was that for some reason, I needed to be back at the hotel. Deep down inside I kept feeling this sense of... terror and anxiety but I didn't know why or where this feeling was coming from. All I knew was that I've had these gut wrenching feelings before and about ninety-nine percent of the time, they were right.

I get inside of the hotel and walk up to the lobby and notice a small group of people gathered around together behind the bar. I jogged up to them and when I got there I noticed that Husk was on the floor crying in Angel's arms. "Hey, what happened?" Angel looked up at us, "Husk told Demetrius the truth about him being his father and he didn't take it too well. He just sped off on his motorcycle."

Charlie squats down on the floor to comfort Husk. I on the other hand, am standing there feeling a bit shocked about the news myself. 'Well, damn... Fate sure has a funny way of bringing people back together,' I think to myself. "I'm soooo sorry Husk. I know that it must have been hard for you but you did the right thing by telling him the truth.

His reaction is normal and he just needs some space to process everything. He'll be back once he cools off." Husk wipes the tears from his eyes and shakes his head at her, "no, you don't understand. My son takes after me A LOT which means if he's out there in the emotional state that he's in right now, he's going to get himself messed up and he's going to start trouble or worse, get himself killed." Upon hearing Husk say that I start to realize what that gut feeling was telling me earlier.

'Oh no,... Demetrius is in trouble. I don't know what kind of trouble but I know now in the pit of my stomach that he's been hurt badly. I start to get this sick feeling but decide that now's not the time to let my nerves get the best of me. "Maybe I should go after him, Caro. I've been in his shoes before maybe he'll listen to me if he knows that he has someone he can relate to."

Husk shakes his head at Angel, "no mi amore, he knows you and I are engaged so if anything he might just take his anger out on you just for being associated with me." I take Demetrius's key out of my pocket and sniff it. 'Perfect! It still has just enough of his scent on it that I can use it to track him down!' "I'll go."

Everyone turns around to look at me seemingly surprised to see me there. Husk raises his eyebrow at me apprehensively, "are you sure? You guys didn't seem to be getting along earlier." My facial expression drops. I hadn't thought about the fact that no one at the hotel has caught on to Demetrius and I's somewhat secret friendship.

Not sure of whether Demetrius was comfortable with other people knowing about the true dynamic of our friendship I decide to concoct a logical excuse for going after Demetrius myself, "well, let's just say he and I are not so different in regard to parental issues. He's got daddy issues and I've got mommy issues. Besides, being a canine demon, I have a stronger sense of smell than most other types of demons down here and I can fly. I'm also a neutral party so he wouldn't have any reason to lash out at me unless I did something to provoke it. 'It also helps that I'm the only demon down here that he considers to be his friend so I owe it to him to be there,' I think internally to myself.

Husk lets out a sigh of relief seeming at least a tad bit more relaxed than before, "Okay, I guess you make some pretty good points, but just be careful out there." I smile and nod at Husk feeling content with the fact that he showed that he cared about my safety too. Not many demons down here did, "I'll be fine, I'm a big girl and a lot tougher than I look." He smiles at me and nods his head seemingly reassured. Not wasting any time, I turn and run out the main entrance to kick myself off and spread my wings and take flight.

I take his room key and hold it up to my nose and focus on his scent. I fly a pretty good ways feeling more and more anxious the further I get from the hotel. 'Why in the hell did he have to drive out so far?' I think to myself as my worries start to set in. Finally coming up on the edge of the Pride ring I notice that his scent has gotten significantly stronger.

I fly down closer to the ground and start sniffing around the area and I'm drawn in towards a ditch located across a saloon style bar parking lot. Looking at the scene I gasp covering my mouth and losing all composure before crying. I collapse to my knees and pick up his seemingly lifeless body and hug him in close to me, "Oh my God, Demetrius!! What the fuck happened to you?" I tilt his mouth up to my face to feel whether he was breathing.

I began to panic when I realize that he wasn't. I decide to check his pulse and notice that his heartbeat was very faint. I then caught a whiff of two distinct scents off of his leather jacket and t-shirt. The first scent smelled like battery acid, copper, and burnt rubber. 'Some sort of electrical demon.

I think to myself.' Then the second scent smelled like eucalyptus, koala fur, tiger fur, snake skin and fabric dies. In that moment I knew that I had recognized those scents from somewhere before. It was the two demons Demetrius and I saw at the coffee shop the other day. At this point my anger has well extended beyond its boiling point.

A beastly growl rumbles from deep within my chest and as I begin to breathe a bit harder. My eyes feel hot like and everything around me is illuminated. I hear some static energy radiating from my hands and a shock radiates through Demetrius's body. He gasps for air violently as his green blood shot eyes shoot open. I laugh relieved that he was alive and that I still had time to get him to a hospital.

"Hold on, D, I'm getting you to a hospital," I say scooping him up in my arms and flying off into the sky. With my phone in one of my hands I fumble trying to get to the Hiri voice system on my phone, "Hiri, call Husk." A couple of minutes later the voice system responds, "calling Husk." I hear the phone ringing and after a while he finally picks up, "Hey, what's going on?" "Oh my God Husk, I found Demetrius and he's in terrible shape, I thought he was dead but then I got angry and lighting shot out from my hands and I electrocuted him—."

"Whoa, whoa wait a second, Jessie slow down I can't understand what you're saying." I take a deep breath and attempt to slow my breathing as I make my descent in front of the emergency room entrance, "I found Demetrius, Husk." My voice starts to crack but I attempt to push through my emotions, "he's hurt REAL bad. I found him lying in a ditch saturated in his own blood and I brought him to the Luci Loo Emergency Room." Husk replies over the phone before promptly hanging up, "okay, we're on our way."

I kick through the doors with Demetrius in my arms, "I need EMT's quick!!" The staff behind the front desk at the moment happened to be on duty nurses and they quickly jogged from behind the front desk, "follow us this way." They said leading me down the hallway labeled, 'Intensive Care.'
