in their bodies. Now go and take care of them,” he says to the other Demons in the room. He turns to me and says “Thank you, Samuel. You may have just saved all of us. You and Josiah are to stay here with the Witch. When we come back we will do the spell before anyone else can interrupt us.”
“Yes, sir,” I say, bowing my head slightly. He leaves us here alone. I turn to the other two and motion for them to join me. John and Alana embrace in a well-needed hug and now they are ready for the fight.
I grab my dagger (even though I don’t necessarily need it since my powers are strong) because I'm not taking any chances today. When we leave the office I have a dagger in my right hand and a fireball prepared in my left. I spot my pack Beta, Justin, about to take out a Demon three times his size in one swift move. He bites down into It's jugular and pulls away with his mouth still clamped down. It is the nastiest thing to see, the Wolves getting that nasty Demon blood in their mouths, but that is what they do. Wolves don’t have any powers (except the Alpha, of course), so their teeth are the only things that can protect them. Well... teeth and claws.
A second Demon attacks Justin from behind while he is still busy with the first Demon he took a chunk out of. He doesn’t have time to react so I protect him by throwing my fireball at the Demon, but it didn't do much more than get his attention. “Shit.” He turns away from Justin and looks around, probably expecting someone else considering that I am supposed to be a Demon.
“You little bitch!” he says as he runs towards me. I wait until he is just about to get to me and then I levitate up over his head. He looks confused until he turns around again and there I am, standing behind him. He dives for me again but this time I jump up and kick him, sending him flying across the room. That gets the attention of a lot of the other Demons. Why am I fighting their friends?
I look at them and say “He went after my Beta.” I watch their faces change from confusion to shock to anger as they connect the dots. “Did you think I was still possessed? Sorry to burst your bubbles... but this was always the plan.” I throw several fireballs and a few iceballs at them ; some of them explode on contact but the Demons that I froze shatter into thousands of pieces when I kick them. The broken bodies of ice become engulfed in flames and turn to ash.
The need to fight grows stronger now so I turn around and throw more fire and ice at all the Demons that get in my way. Actually, I look like Alana; all fur and claws with Wolf ears, except standing on two legs instead of four. I am still able to use my powers since I am half-changed. I use them all... my Wolf wants this fight more than me, but I need my Witch powers. All I see is red. I can pick out the evil just by smell.
Sebastian is pinned to the floor with his fangs bared and a small Demon on top trying to bite into his flesh. I react quickly by whipping a fireball at him- it's a near miss, but he turns to ash all over Sebastian.
I feel a hand grab my arm and without thinking I dig my claws into the skin and slice down. There is a shriek and it brings me out of my rage. I change back to my normal human form and hold the body in my arms. “Milissa- oh my God, I’m so sorry! I... I didn’t realize it was you! Oh my God, please be okay,” I sob to her limp form. Upon closer inspection I realize she is bleeding from another wound on her abdomen. I quickly heal both her abdomen wound and her arm.
I look up to Sebastian, Justin, and Wyatt standing around me and Milissa, protecting us from the remaining Demons. “I hope she doesn’t turn. Oh my God, please don’t let me ruin her by making her a Wolf! It was an accident- I can’t... I can’t believe I did this to her! She is going to hate me forever. I’m so sorry, please be okay,” I say, rocking her back and forth.
