"No I don't get it! How the hell are we even close to half demon? The only way that would be possible would be if moms parents were demon and human. That would make her half demon but what about dad? Demons don't have these powers. At least normal ones don't so what's so special about us why are we so powerful?" Josiah asks
"Dad must've been demon or half demon also." I say
"Why wouldn't they have told us?" He asks
"Maybe it was a way of protection?" Eric asks and I turn to face him.
"Maybe but it still doesn't make sense. We are demon hunters and we kill demons so why not tell us we are part of that race?" Josiah asks and the pieces click.
"That's exactly it! Mom and dad didn't want to tell us because they were scared that once we knew we were half of the creatures we hunt we wouldn't want to anymore. They didn't tell us we were half demon because we would've instantly put down our weapons and switched sides! The demons would get in our heads and we'd want to rescue them not kill them. But the half human part keeps us still fighting till this day. It keeps us strong and it let's us see the demons killing innocent people." I say
"So your saying mom and dad didn't tell us we were half demon because they were scared we'd stop fighting them and switch sides?" Josiah asks
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It has to be! But, the protection part still stands there. It's almost as if since we are half demon, that makes us special in a way. We have powers the other demons don't have so they had to have been protecting us from something." I say trying to figure out what it could be.
"Y'all are weapons." Eric says from behind us and we turn to face him.
"What do you mean?" I ask
"If the demons got hold of you they'd use you against humans as a weapon killing off the human race. But if you stay with the humans your powers will be used to fight against the demons. There is a catch though." He says
"What's the catch Eric?" Josiah asks
"If Raven is correct about all of this which I as of now am positive she is; y'all are half demon but also half human. Which means your human side will fight to stay with your race but your demon side will fight to join it's race meaning, at some point you'll start getting strong feelings to join the darkness. Raven some has already occurred to you do you remember that dream you had with the man?" He asks me
"Yes yes he was by the window calling to me, it was light outside and the birds were chirping but everything inside was so dark, I felt dark, and he was dark. The little bird was on my finger tweeting as if a warning almost then the man appeared and the bird vanished. I was drawn to him and you broke through and stopped me." I say and he nods
"Yes and also remember how the window shattered but I didn't see it but you did?" He asks
"Yes." I reply
"That was a doing of darkness which means they are coming for you Raven which means Josiah, they've already found you." We turn to look at Josiah and his eyes meet ours.
"What do you mean they've already found me?" He asks and behind him I see a shadow slithering against the wall.
"Josiah." I say and he follows where my eyes lead.
"Shit!" He yells and the lights bust and the shadow lunges. Josiah yanks out his sword and chucks it at the demon it slams into it's chest and the demon withers on the ground. I scream as I am yanked hard to the ground and Eric spins around. I kick at the force behind me but my foot hits nothing.
"Raven!" Eric yells and jumps grabbing my arms. Suddenly I'm being lifted up in the sky and I only have Eric's hands to hold on to. I keep getting pulled higher and higher but he holds on to me.
