I removed the piece of white cloth lying over the face of the dead, and it turned out to be Zeoy. I looked at Derek, and tears filled my eyes. "What happened? How did you let her die? You were supposed to protect her!" I shouted as I clung to his clothes. "We tried all we could, Max. It looks like the demons are getting stronger by the day, and with the rift opened, the earth is in chao." Gilbert said it with his head hung in sorrow. I looked at Zeoy, and her whitish hair was now back to normal. She looked so peaceful that I thought she had been sleeping. "What about Elena and Elizabeth?" I looked back at Derek, my eyes scanning the surroundings and the burning house. "The demons have them." Derek replied I clenched my fist in anger and gritted my teeth. None of the demons knew who I was. I had always cloaked myself in the grim reaper system outfit, so none of them knew who I really was. I knew they were going to torture Elizabeth and Elena with every inch of their lives, trying to

The tension was thick with anticipation as I looked at Boyd and back at Zack. I looked at Boyd, who had bruises all over his face, and back at Zack's angry face. "It doesn't have to be this way, Zack. All of this is not right; demons and humans cannot coexist in the same world." I looked at him, and his eyes glowed again. "The reapers can, of course, since you are one of them." Zack said, looking at me. I was about to attack him when I saw Zeoy coming at him from the back. I was fixed to a spot and wondered what was going on. Zeoy was supposed to be dead. I had seen her corpse before she was taken by Boyd. She landed a blow on Zack, and he fell down. I could see she was still weak from the fight she had with the demons. "We need to leave now!" I shouted, and we immediately took to our hill. We all regrouped at Derek's gym house. "What about Elena and Elizabeth?" I looked at Gilbert and Derek. "I am sorry, kid, but I don't think we can find them. The fire demons get to them first.

The room fell silent as Zack's eyes burned with an unnatural fire, revealing the demon within. A collective gasp escaped from the onlookers, and the tension grew thick. I held my ground, not letting the fear show on my face, even as my heart pounded wildly in my chest.“Is this what you want, Max?” Zack growled, his voice layered with the echo of the demon. “Do you really think you can take us all on?”Stephan, blood dripping from his broken nose, sneered. “You’re outnumbered and out of your league.”I glanced around the room, assessing my surroundings. Students were frozen, some with phones recording, others whispering anxiously. I knew this confrontation would only escalate if I didn't handle it. The FBI was already on our trail, and if I decided to use my powers, then that would be it. A male lecturer entered the room and saw that the tension was high. "What is going on here?" he asked, looking at Zack, who was on the floor, and Stephan, who had a broken nose. Everyone kept silen

I looked behind me, and I couldn't see Boyd. I decided to wait for him, but he didn't show up. I looked ahead, and I saw Stephan and Zack getting out of sight. For some reason, I noticed their bodies were glowing and emitting firepower. "Where are we?" I asked myself as I trailed after them. I looked at the moon, and it was reddish, unlike the normal moon.I decided to follow Stephan since Boyd was not showing up. Maybe he had chickened out and decided not to follow me. As I approached the entrance where Stephan and Zack passed, I noticed they had to pass through some security and guards. I noticed the guards weren't humans; they were fire demons. "It can't be." I said to myself, trying to see where Stephan and Zack were going. I saw some fire demons parading the vicinity, and I wondered how they had all gathered in one place. I immediately used my hand to cover my face. I was going to know what the gathering was all about. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I heard a voice behind me,

I looked back at the demon and smiled. "I think I lost my way for a bit. It is a fucking maze in here." I said I was trying to compose myself. "All demons are to go through that path. This is strictly for the princes." The demon said he was showing me a path out of the demon world. "The princes? And who are those?" I stared back at the demon standing in front of me. The demon was about to talk, but then I heard Zack and Stephan's voices. "Don't you think it is dangerous to attack, Max? He is stronger, not to mention that his blood is deadly to us." Zack sounded worried. "I think what you need to be worried about is how we are going to convince your father to join all of this." Stephan looked back at him. I heard their voices, and I immediately wanted to hide my face, but I was too late. "Who is he?" Zack looked at the demon standing in front of me. "Just some young demon. He lost his way. Off you go." The demon smirked, and I scrammed off. The weight of what I have seen settled upon
