Walking quickly down darkened streets; my mind races as I think of all the things that could be happening on Earth "I need you to watch over things while I am gone, No one is to know that I've left, I have to stop those two idiots before it's too late."

"With all due respect my king, you asked this of me last time and look how well that turned out" the demon rightfully points out; making me stop dead in my tracks.

"That's only because I was away for years and took Mazikeen with me, up until they started possessing humans you had it under control. Besides, I will only be gone long enough to deal with those two"

Sighing, the demon goes to say something else but I put my hand up silencing him "I know what you are about to say Agares; she won't even know I am there. I will return, you have my wo-"

"My king!" Another demon yells running up to us, pausing our conversation I look at the new arrival

"What is it?"

"It's Belial's legion, they are rallying to overthrow you and are attacking those that support you. Many have already perished!" A rebellion now!? I have to get to Earth to save Chloe!

"Take me to them" I growl out making the demon jump back in fear before nodding and running back the way it came.

"My lord this is a distraction. Belial's men must know what you plan to do. They are trying to –"

"Stall, I know. Wait for me at the gates; I won't be long" extending my devilish wings I take to the air following the demon below.

It's been two days since Maze told me the truth; demons were still roaming the Earth and I still can't believe it. My 'training' was going nowhere fast I can't do this! Doubt fills my body as I take another shaky breath in and run a hand through my sweat-filled hair.

"Again!" Maze yells at me. Gripping the knife tightly I look toward the ridiculous blue dummy in front of me and hesitantly stab the knife into its chest.

"You're still hesitating Decker!" Sighing, I pull the knife from the target "I can't help it! It's hard to take this thing seriously, I mean loo-"

"No more excuses Chloe, you HAVE to start take this seriously if you want to take down a demon. They aren't going to just stand around and wait for you to kill them."

Trixie walks inside interrupting us as she puts her bag down "Hi mom" Smiling I put the knife down on the nearby counter and go over to her "Hey monkey! How was sch-"

Grabbing a hold of Trixie the demon pulls her away from me sharply "Maze what -" moving behind the dummy she holds onto Trixie tightly.

"Seriously Maze what are you doing?"

"You want me to let go of Trixie? Then you need to kill the 'demon' in front of us first" She says as she revealing a knife in her other hand. The girl in question gets a scared look on her face "Mommy!"

"You won't hurt her you love her too mu-"

"Are you sure about that? I am demon Chloe; it's my job to torture you humans. That desire is always there, just because I hide it doesn't mean it isn't. So… what's it gonna be?" She says, raising the knife a little higher

Fear consumes me as Maze's face slowly transforms into that of a hideous demon. Laughing at me she licks the side of Trixie's face making the young girl flinch. Reaching for the blade I discarded, fear and anger rushing through my veins as I hold it tightly. Rushing for the dummy between us, I embed the blade deep into its chest.

A smile creeps onto Maze's face and she slowly reverts her appearance" see, I knew you could do it, Decker"

How dare she threaten Trixie like that! Adrenaline kicks in and I push the dummy to the side, pulling the knife out I run at Maze. The woman in question stands up and gently pushes Trixie to the side as I yell slicing the blade until one makes contact causing the woman to bleed.

My face turns white as I see blood flowing from the wound, making me drop the knife "oh my god, Maze I am so sorry! Are you okay?" rushing over I start to administer first aid when the demon pulls her arm away, the smile still evident on her face " Remember that feeling. That's the key to tapping into your strength."

She… "You wanted me to attack you?" I question as the demon looks over at Trixie "I knew that you would never take it seriously…not unless someone you loved was in danger, we can't afford to waste any more time Chloe; Murmus and Belial could come at any moment."

Trixie smiles at Maze then runs toward me.

"You…you knew she was going to do that Trix?"

Nodding the girl stops in front of me "She texted me about her plan before I got home from school. I wanted to help you mom"

Sighing I pull the girl into a tight hug. "Thank you honey, but please don't do that again. I don't want you to get hurt accidentally."

Transforming into my complete devilish form I land on the ground by the hoard "Enough!" I yell making several demons halt their attacks.

"We don't take orders from YOU anymore" one demon yelled out

"It's time we demons ruled ourselves!" yelled another one, making others cheer behind him.

Another boldly runs toward me to attack, making me glare I don't have time for this nonsense! Flicking my wrist to the right the attacking demon gets thrown into a nearby structure, making it crumble to the ground.

Damit I don't have time for this! Hang on Chloe!
