Demon (BoyxBoy) Book 1

Jaxon’s POV

″Can we come with you?″ Jin asked us as we left the room, backpacks slung over their shoulder. They had a sense of courage radiating off of them, their facial expressions twisted in confidence. Elena’s lips turned into a frown, walking over to Magdalene and Jin.

″You both were just introduced to this world... It’s far too risky. This quest is even dangerous for Jaxon and I-″

″Seth is our friend. He’s in danger and we are going to find him. You need all the help you could get...″ Magdalene declared. I felt a pain shoot down my side suddenly, almost making me drop to the floor. Elena grabbed me by the arms, standing me back up in place. The pain was almost unbearable... we needed to get to Seth as quick as we possibly could. We can’t stay here and fight about them coming with us.

″Come on.″ Is all I could get out of my lips, wincing in pain afterward. They flashed me the brightest smile, walking towards the door and discussing how they were going to find Seth... I couldn’t help but notice the blush on Jin’s cheeks as she brushed past him in the doorway. He told me something about a girl he liked back at his high school... Maybe it was Magdalene?

Elena helped me walk over to the door, slinging my bow and arrow over her back. The pain was still heavily coursing through my body, but it wasn’t as bad as it was before. It definitely wasn’t anything compared to what Seth is probably experiencing... what was that guy even doing to him?

″If Jayce finds out I took you and the kids...″ She mumbled as we ventured off into the woods. Magdalene and Jin were far in front of us, laughing and discussing something about their school...

″Oh, what is he going to do? Ground me?″ I mumbled, feeling a deep pain shoot up my back. A desperate whimper left my throat as I fell to the ground, Elena calling to Jin and Magdalene for help.

″I... I think they are trying to...″ I started, the pain increasing. How am I supposed to find Seth like this?

My vision began to get dizzy, the sound of Elena, Jin, and Magdalene seemed far away and distant. A ringing sound filled my head... What was he doing to him?

″Jaxon... I don’t know if you could hear me... I know somehow we are connected- so I’m trying... Please just try to find me, I can’t take it... He’s torturing me, Jaxon... Please.″

I forced myself off of the ground, regardless of the pain in my back and the ringing in my head. Elena and the rest looked at me with the biggest look of concern on their faces as I limped past them. Seth needs me more than ever right now. I’m going to find him even if it’s the last thing I do.

--------------------------------------------------------

We had been walking for two hours in the woods. We thought maybe as we got closer to him... The mark on my wrist might have sensed it. The mark had begun glowing a few times... but it was only because he needed me. The woods seemed endless...

″Do we have any idea who took him in the first place?″ Jin asked me, a frown lingering on his lips.

″All I know is it was some sort of angel... Nephilim or not. I’m pretty sure it was male...″ I went on. I wasn’t really sure myself... All I knew is that we had to get him back. I knew that he planned this since we entered the other dimension... He’s smart. I don’t really know what he would want with Seth. Of course, it may be because he’s simply the son of Lucifer. He does have plenty of gifts... but he doesn’t know how to use them that well.

″I don’t think the elder Angels want anything to do with him... Ariel gifted him in the first place. They don’t have anything against him... ″Elena stated. She had a point... Just because he was Lucifer’s son doesn’t mean they hate him. They were once good friends with Lucifer before he was banished... so there’s no way it would be them.

″So it’s a Nephilim like Seth?″ I asked. Elena nodded her head, a frown lingering on her face.

We have some other friends that are Nephilim... but we haven’t seen them in a while. They know of Seth’s existence... but they were excited to meet him one day. So what Nephilim would do this to him? Are they aware they are harming royalty? Both in the human world AND the mythical world? They could be executed...

Jin and Magdalene walked off in front of us, leaving Elena and I. She was looking forward, her eyes seeming distant. I knew she was worried too...

″Can I ask you something?″ I suddenly said. She broke out from the daze she was in, looking over to me with a smile.

″Of course, what is it?″ She asked. I couldn’t help but get flustered...

″When did you know when you loved me? Like... what was different?″ I asked. She broke her gaze from mine... and she had the biggest smile on her lips.

″When you love someone... It’s like you’re finally grasping onto something that was missing. Everything falls into place. Everything seems warmer in your life, the colors are brighter. Everything you do and everywhere you go reminds me of them.″ She told me, and I couldn’t help but notice the blush on her face.

″Who are you talking about, Elena?″ I asked her. She began playing with her fingers nervously, not meeting my eyes.

″We haven’t been together in one hundred years, Elena. You could talk to me about him.″ I said, not able to contain my laughter. She shoved me playfully, laughter leaking my throat.

″He’s a werewolf. It’s not the same boy from... yeah. He’s much kinder, sweeter... He has the cutest hair-″

″Is he hot though? Good in bed?″

″JAXON!″

We broke into laughter, Elena doubling over. The pain in my body was still present... but it was nice to have a distraction.

″What about you, Jaxon? How’s Seth?″ She winked at me. My laughter immediately stopped, glaring at her.

″Well... you see-″

Before I could answer, I heard Jin let out a frightened scream. My head immediately darted up to him, my heart rate increasing... but it immediately went down when I saw who it was.

″Jin Tae Darkmore... why in the WORLD are you in the woods? Why are all of you in the woods-″

″Where did you even come from, dad?! You scared the crap out of me!″ He hollered, throwing his hands up in the air. Jayce crossed his arms, staring at Jin with amusement in his eyes.

″I’m sorry, Jin. Forgive me.″ He said, breaking his gaze from Jin. He immediately walked up to us, pointing his finger in my face.

″As for YOU young man, I thought I told you to stay home and rest!-″

″Well... I’m actually two hundred and-″

″ENOUGH. You should be home and resting! The condition you’re in is no good...″ He said to me, a worried expression on his face.

″Jayce, I’m okay. I promise. You can’t find Seth yourself... I know you’re worried for him as much as we are. Let us help you. We could do this together.″ I said to him. He looked as if he wanted to object at first, but he slowly began to nod his head.

We started walking deeper in the woods together. Jayce asked us if we had figured anything about who it may be... We told him we think it’s the Nephilim.

″... I think I may know who it is.″ He finally said, stopping all of us in our tracks.

″Well tell us! What are you waiting for!″ Jin exclaimed. Jayce gave him a stern look, but couldn’t help but smile at him. He can’t stay mad at him...

″I examined the note Seth’s kidnapper left behind. The writing was strange... but I’ve seen it before. I tried to use the note to track the person... but they must have blocked any tracking magic from warlocks. Before I left to find Seth I looked through notes in my office... A long time ago I would train some Nephilim to control their powers more.″ He went on.

″The handwriting on the note matched one of my students I had over two hundred years ago. He’s the son of Ariel... His name is Avel Argyros. You may have heard of him from our history books...″

Avel Arygros. He’s the son of Ariel, the angel of nature. You’d think he would be kind at heart... but ever since Ariel took away his power to bring people back to life... he turned evil. It’s rumored because of what he did to his mother, Iris.

That’s when it hit me.

″Jayce... what if he kidnapped him for what Ariel did for him? What if he wanted to get the power Ariel gave to Seth back somehow?″ I asked. Jayce’s eyes widened, his jaw slightly dropping.

″...To bring his mother back.″

-----------------------------------------------------

Seth’s POV

The vines still bound me. I was waiting for Avel to do something... But he just stared at the ground intently. He was deep in thought... I wonder what about.

″Your mother... what was she like?″ He finally asked me. I felt the frown lingering on my lips... I didn’t want to have a conversation with him, especially about my mother. But I figured I have no choice. It will distract him.

″Well... she was sweet. She was gentle... from what I remember.″ I said. Before I got my memories back at least...

″The Queen of France, am I correct? How was it living in royalty?″ He asked me, approaching the bed. I felt my heart rate increase... the ax was on the other side of the room... but I wouldn’t be surprised if he would try to hurt me without it.

″It was fine, I suppose,″ I replied. He flashed me a soft smile, his white wings dragging across the floor.

″So modest, Prince Seth.″ He said, kneeling down next to the bed. He was uncomfortably close... but I couldn’t say a word.

″My mother was a farm girl. We were awfully poor... my father never batted an eye. She was a beautiful woman, the softest blonde hair you’ve ever seen. Even while we haven’t eaten in ages, she’d tell me God was watching over us. That we were going to be okay...″ He went on.

″I loved her dearly. Well... I love her. You see... I made a big mistake with her. You could imagine what I did... that’s why I need the power that you took from me back.″ He said. I couldn’t help but gasp...

He killed his mother.

″You could relate, right? You killed your mother.″ He said to me, the biggest smirk on his face...

″No... no, I didn’t. Jules did.″ I said my voice breaking. He began laughing, his eyes tearing up in amusement.

″Being Lucifer’s offspring comes with a great price. If they didn’t find out about your parentage... your mother would be alive, you would have your kingdom... you wouldn’t be here right now begging for your death. Jaxon wouldn’t be in pain right now... Your poor soul mate.″ He murmured. What does he mean by soul mate?...

″...What?″ I asked. He mentioned it before but I was too nervous to react to it. He had an amused look on his face...

″Your little boyfriend didn’t tell you, huh?″ He asked, leaving me in confusion.

″Mind as well tell you... Jaxon is bound to you. Kind of absurd... A stupid warlock bound to such a high ranking Nephilim. He’s like your mate if you prefer werewolf terms...″ He said, leaving me in shock...

Why didn’t he tell me?

″I guess he didn’t want you to feel pressured to be with him. How kind... Hope I didn’t ruin anything.″ He said with a smirk on his lips...

He slowly walked away from me, his wings dragging slowly across the floor. He was slowly walking towards the ax. I can’t. I fucking can’t... I feel like I’ve been bound here for ages.

″JAXON! JAYCE! SOMEBODY, PLEASE HELP ME!″ I screamed, the tears rolling down my face. Avel let out a heavy laugh, looking back at me as he grasped onto the ax handle.

″Nobody is looking for you. Nobody will find you, darling... I’m doing your ‘friends’ a favor.″ He said. He slowly dragged the ax towards me...

I can’t deal with it more... I can’t...

″FATHER!″ I screamed, feeling more tears leave my eyes. I screamed as loud as I could... I was desperate.

″Your father can’t save you either. He’s been banished from this world since the beginning of time... Have you read your bible, Seth?″ He asked me, laughter leaking his throat.

″FATHER! SAVE ME HE’S HURTING ME I-″ I screamed out, sobs leaking from my chest. I wanted to die. I can’t take any more of this I-

The ground began to shake. Avel’s eyes widened, the ax falling from his hands.

″What... what are you doing! Stop it now!″ He yelled at me.

″It’s not me...″ I said. His eyes widened more, grasping onto the bed for support as the ground shook...

The room stopped shaking... and it began thundering outside. There was someone here... I felt an immense amount of power heading straight towards us.

″It... It can’t be.″ Avel said, his voice shaking in fear. He ran over to the vines that bound me, his hands shaking as he unraveled them...

A loud boom filled the room, the left wall crashing down with the loudest creek. It nearly missed us by an inch... whatever it was. I could feel the immense power radiating off of it... what was it?

The smoke of the wall finally faded away. The first thing I saw was pitch black wings... They were huge. They were only a little bit bigger than mine... but the same amount of black.

He slowly lifted his head up, and that’s when I knew.

It was my father.

His black curly hair laid messily on his head, the neon green eyes were radiating with power. He stood up straight, glaring angrily at Avel. It was impossible... how was he in this world? He was banished...

″How... How are you here?″ Avel asked Lucifer. My father’s lips turned into a smirk... That mischievous smirk my mother spoke about. He looked just like me...

″The man in charge gave me an hour to save my son. I’m not allowed to injure you, unfortunately... You have to worry about your father.″ Lucifer murmured, walking closer to me. Avel let out a whimper of fear at what he just said...

Lucifer held his hand out to me, a smile lingering on his lips. He pulled me up from the bed... I winced in pain. They were only aches due to what Avel did to me... but everything was healed.

″Your father is on his way, Avel. You could try to run but he’ll find you.″ Lucifer said to him nonchalantly. Avel didn’t say a word as Lucifer took me in his arms, extending his wings and flying away from the cabin.

The cold rain felt amazing. I couldn’t help but let out a happy sigh, my father beginning to laugh in amusement.

″I’m sure that feels wonderful after all of that. I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner... It took a lot of convincing to come to save you.″ He said softly.

″It’s okay, father... thank you,″ I said to him. He went on to tell me it was no problem.

″Seth... could you fly?″ He finally asked. I felt the blush rising to my face, laughter leaving my throat. He had been carrying me for about ten minutes now...

I extended my wings, pulling myself out of his arms.

″Wow... just like mine.″ He commented. I nodded my head, looking off into the distance.

There was a glowing angel in the distance, heading our way. It definitely wasn’t Avel... he didn’t glow like that. He had a green crown resting on his head, various flowers decorating his head. I assumed it was Ariel...

He flew up to us, a soft smile lingering on his lips.

″Seth... It’s lovely to finally meet you. I wish it wasn’t in times like this... Avel has always been a trouble maker.″ He whispered. He looked over to Lucifer, his smile not leaving his face.

″Lucifer.″

″Ariel.″

″On your way to discipline Avel?″ Lucifer asked, attempting to make conversation. I couldn’t help but laugh... I never thought he would be so awkward.

″Yes... Oh you bet your ass I am-″ Ariel said, gasping afterward. Lucifer and I couldn’t help but break out into laughter... an Angel cursing.

He waved us off, flying past us. Lucifer had the biggest smile on his lips... I’m glad he came to save me.

″One more thing before I go, Seth...″ He suddenly said. He clasped his hands together, black smoke leaking from them. A long, black Scythe suddenly appeared in his hands. He held it out to me, a smile on his lips.

″I made this for you, Seth. I hope you like it, I worked on it for-″

I pulled him into a hug, surprising him. He slowly wrapped his arms around me, hugging me back.

″Thank you father, I love it,″ I said to him. He patted my back, letting out a happy sigh.

″I’m proud of you, son. I always will be. I’m here if you ever need anything... you could come to visit me.″ He said, his voice almost shaking... he must have been nervous to say that.

″Of course.″

He nodded, looking up towards the sky. It was thundering heavily now...

″Yeah, yeah... I know. Thank you for the chance.″ He said. I figured it was talking to... ‘The man in charge.’

He looked back down to me, smiling.

″Jaxon is down below us right now. Go on to him.″ He said. I went to thank him... but he was already gone.

Thank you, dad.
