The Wolf In Me
Chapter 19 Demons Of The Night
Part 1 Fighting with an Aergon
It was a foggy, shabby Saturday that welcomed the coldness of wintertime. Today was the day to our planned activity but if by this evening, the fog would not subside, we would have to postpone it for the following Saturday.
I was in my office, my eyes hovering over the paper, reading out loud the instructions of the mating hunt tradition when I was interrupted halfway by Jake's silvery voice.
"We can always limit our borderline if the mist keeps persisting. The pack is eager to have an enjoyable run and I'm sure they won't like to cancel such a great event."
Placing the paper down on the table, I sunk into my chair, raising one leg over the other.
"Look, Jake. There is something I haven't told you about. Considering our previous events, I didn't want to fill your head up with worry once again. But I know I had to tell you at some point."
I shifted in my seat as I reached for my coffee, drinking down the last bit of it.
"We have another problem, possibly worse than vampires."
I looked into his serious green eyes, for a second trying to be careful how to explain the right way.
"We have spotted a few demons on the loose lately, that's why I'm worried" I admitted.
Jake's shoulders tensed at the sentence and decided to sit himself down opposite me in a brisk motion.
"Demons? Here? How's that even possible?" He snorted, half thinking it's a joke? "So, you are kidding, right?" He asked observing my serious face.
I shook my head and took out the picture I took back from Mei's box, placing it on the desk in front of him. He gawked at it for a good minute, not moving a muscle.
"I thought they were just mythical creature you watch in a horror movie. But I did hear they possibly exist. According to legend, the gods gathered in the hopes that they would demolish them from this planet but Hades had plans to keep them as his pets, so he saved most of them by opening the portal between earth and Hell, allowing them to choose between life and death. Should you come across one, your life would soon be over" he clarified.
"I believe that mum was slowly being killed by one," I said resting both arms on the desk, "I could have sworn I saw something behind me before she passed. According to Lylah, it's an imbroferno. It sucks up the life out of you, taking one's beauty and your soul with it. We cannot risk having any of our pack fall victims of such beasts. The witches promised to take them down together. I need to make sure that everyone in this house is safe and protected."
