Chapter 13: A not so familiar face

Emily P.O.V

It's been 4 days since Alex was taken. Axel has been blaming himself, spiralling into depression.

Carly and I have been doing everything we could to find him but we've been having no luck.

I heard a knock at the door and standing there was a man and a woman. The woman was kinda petite as the man was pretty tall.

"Is my son here?" She spoke with a French accent.

"You're Alex's parents?!" I shouted and they nodded.

"Axel get over here!"

He walked over to the door and the woman glared at him.

"You guys should talk... We'll give you some space."

Axel and Alex's parents talked for a while. I heard some screaming but it's calm again. The door closed and Axel came back into the kitchen grabbing a beer.

"So, what happened?" Carly asked.

"I told them what happened and they're going to request an audience with the high council to find him..."

I smiled.

"That's good!"

"But... They said when he is found they're taking him home and he won't ever be able to see me again..."

My smile faded away and Axel began sobbing again.

I was about to comfort him until I heard another knock at the door. I got up and went to answer it.

When I opened the door a woman with black hair barged in past me going towards Axel.

Dumbstruck I contemplated going after her.

"Axel! Honey come to momma!"

Axel turned around and got up hugging her.

"Mom! I'm so glad you're here!" He cried into her shoulder. She was pretty tall but not as tall as Axel.

"I know what happened." She said comforting her son.

She spoke a sentence that chilled me to my bone.

"Honey, the demon council is on their way."

My heart sank as I went over to Carly.

"R-really?" He said surprised.

"There's something you should know..."

He paid close attention.

"Your father isn't dead... In fact, he's part of the council..."

Axel's eyes widened.

"W-wait, hold on... You pick now to fucking tell me??" Axel got up.

"I-I need a second." He said pulling out his cigarettes and leaving.

Axel P.O.V

I can't fucking believe this... I've been lied to my whole life. My mother seriously thought this was a good time to spring this on me?! When I see my father I'm in a position where I want to slap him across the face.

I sat there for an hour, smoking and dealing with my deteriorating mentality.

I should have been more prepared for the attack... I should have saved Alex...

I felt tears begin to well in my eyes again.

"So, you must be Axel."

I looked up and saw a man in a black cloak. there was smoke pouring out of it.

"Yeah, who are you?"

"The name's Renvick." As he spoke his name 8 more men in the same black cloaks appeared behind him.

"I haven't seen you. In years..."

"D-dad?" I muttered out.

He nodded.

I got up and punched him across the face. The other council members stood still.

"HOW COULD YOU FUCKING DO THIS TO ME?!" I punched him again.

"YOU COULD HAVE BEEN APART OF MY LIFE BUT YOU FUCKING ABANDONED ME!" I went in to punch him again but this time he caught my fist.

"I had to! I had no choice!"

I began sobbing. "You fucking asshole! I won't ever fucking forgive you!"

He pulled me into a hug as I sobbed into his shoulder.

"You're right to hate me... What I did was unforgivable but I had a good reason... When you were born I was summoned back to hell because we had a new enemy to face. We even teamed up with the High Angelic Council to fight this enemy... A few days ago something strange happened... A strange cloaked creature fell from the sky into the gates of hell. We captured it and it told us we were too late."

"Son, do you know who this enemy was? Or who sent it down? Only somebody with unimaginable power could do so."

I stopped for a moment. Was he referring to when I sent one of them down to hell?

"I-i think that was me... My boyfriend was captured by them and I managed to send one down."

He cocked his brow.

"You sent him down?" The other council members took a step back.

"H-how! Show us!"

I stepped back getting ready to turn to my demonic form.

Red smoke appeared from my skin as I shifted into my giant form.

My father's eyes grew wide as I towered over him.

"You're special Axel... Maybe special enough to defeat them... Come, I must go inside as we wait for the Angelic Council. We're receiving word that they are on their way.

(Hey guys! Check out my new book "Omegas Don't Cry" It's pretty cool :3)
