My Guardian Demon

Chapter 49: Heartache

"You must be mad if you think I'm going to choose between my brothers, what kind of sick Twisted game is this," I yelled pushing him backward.

He crossed his arms and shrugged without a care in the world.

"Well you either choose one or they both die, the choice is yours but either way the clock is ticking."

My mind went on overdrive, I felt sick to my stomach. Like I couldn't breathe, there's no way I can choose between them. They are my family, the only ones I have left apart from my sons but it's just not the same right now.

"I hate you, how could I have ever loved a monster," I screamed and shot my hand forward, lighting erupted from me and hit Zac.

The black sky flashed highlighting the dead Demons on the floor, and gravestones that either had flowers lay on them or vines that had grown covering the words of whoever was buried.

He fell to the floor yelping in pain till there was just silence, the odd rustle from the scattered autumn leaves across the dirty graveyard floor.

I stepped towards him and crouched down, he was dead but not properly. I don't know how much longer I have until he wakes.

All I know is I need to save my brothers from him and whatever he had planned.

My body was shaking but I jumped up and ran away from them, my hair whipping around my face from the wind.

Without stopping I pulled my phone out of my pocket and went straight to Austins number and called it.

It rang a few times making me anxious but he finally picked up.

"Hey, little Rae, what's up?" He sounded happy, I could hear a song playing quietly in the background.

"Where are you?" I rushed out.

Turning a corner trying to doge the odd person walking back, my chest tightening from the amount of running I've done.

God, I'm nowhere near the hospital yet.

"I'm on my way home now, and don't worry you're on speaker so both of my hands are on the wheel... wait are you running?" I could hear him laugh.

My eyes started to blur so I stopped, one hand on a wall beside me I fell forward trying to get my breath back.

My stomach was all over the place, my ears were ringing. All I could think about was saving them, but I needed help.

"Austin I need you to stop your car, I don't care where you are, just stop. I'm gonna send someone to you but I really need to go, I love you." I hung up.

Throwing my phone back into my pocket, I closed my eyes trying to gather my thoughts. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

A high pitched scream left my mouth, my hand lifting up ready to attack whoever it was but instantly stopped as soon as blue crystal eyes met mine.

"Athena, what's wrong?" He was worried.

"I need you to take me to Aiden, but I need Marax. He needs to be with Austin but I don't know how to get hold of him."

Everything was a mess, my head was pounding. I couldn't think straight, I just needed to get to Aiden.

Nathaniel took my hands, "Athena look at me," His voice was stern, trying to gain my attention.

I opened my eyes to see him staring down at me.

"First I need you to breathe, now in your head just say his name. He will hear you."
