Stephan's eyes bore into mine, searching for any sign of deceit. I could feel the tension in the air thickening with each passing second. The silence was broken only by the distant hum of machinery within the warehouse.

"You expect me to believe you don't know?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. "You've been pulling the strings all along, Stephan. Your father’s involvement in their disappearance is no secret. Now tell me where they are."

Stephan's lips curled into a sneer. "You overestimate my interest in your friends, Max. But I suppose we can play your little game. They're alive, for now."

"For now?" I took a step forward, my fists clenching at my sides. "What do you mean by that?"

Stephan chuckled with a dark, humorless sound. "It means their fate depends on your cooperation. So, if you want to save them, you better be on your best behavior."

Zack shifted beside Stephan, his hand resting on the hilt of a concealed knife. The tension between us was palpable, but I needed to k

    Elena and Elizabeth were immediately taken into another room. Mr. Reynolds bought out a vile and showed it to me. "Do you know what this is?" He showed me a yellowish substance inside a tube. I remembered I had seen it before, right before my parents passed away. "No, I haven't seen it before. What does that have to do with me?" I looked at Mr. Reynolds."You are going to do exactly what I want without questioning anything that I say." Mr. Reynolds said, looking at Emerald, "Begin." I was immediately grabbed by both Zack and Stephan as they headed towards the table right in front of me. The door opened, and Frank walked in. "What is going on?" He looked at Reynold and back at Zack, his son. "Don't tell me you plan on killing him. Have you forgotten what the demon king told us? We are to bring him back to him unhurt." Frank said, looking at Reynold. "And who said anything about hurting or killing him? I want his blood." Mr. Reynolds repliedHe beckoned to Emerald, and they immediatel

    I woke up to see the elders seated in a white robe before me. I looked around to see Derek, Zeoy, Boyd, and Gilbert too. "What is going on?" I looked at their faces, and I saw nobody was talking. Aurora walked towards me, and I saw a needle-like object in her hand. She quickly pinched me with it before I could say anything. "Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" I shouted again. "I need to get back; I need to save them." I said it with urgency in my voice. "Max, do you agree with the fact that you have demon blood running through your veins?" Apollo asked, and I went silent. I looked at Boyd and back at Derek. I could see in their faces that neither of them betrayed me. But how did the elders find out? "It wasn't intentional; Stephan bit into my neck earlier, and since then I have been carrying the demon blood inside of me. Is that why I was summoned?" I looked at Aurora, who had been quiet all this time. My blood was immediately screened, and I saw the look in the

    I looked beside me, and I could see a tube, and I noticed I was bleeding. "Somebody let me out!" I shouted at the top of my voice. The door opened, and Emerald walked in. He looked at me, and after some time, he walked closer. "Are you sure you can take on these demons?" He asked, scrubbing his temple as his gaze was fixed on me. " Demons? What are you talking about?" I asked, looking at him. Emerald looked at me again, like he was not believing a single word coming out of my mouth. He looked at my eye, which was once gray, and noticed it was now black. . "What did you do with your hair?" he asked, seeing the look in my eyes. "What about my hair? Can you please release me from here?" I pleaded, my heart racing. For some reason, I don't know why I was scared. I knew I wasn't captured, and I had come here on my own. "Answer my question first. Can you take on the demon king and stop Reynold?" Emerald asked again, this time taking a seat right in front of me. I suddenly heard a loud s

    The tension was palpable as Zack looked at Emerald and back at me. "Don't tell me you are trying to have him freed." Zack paused and stared at me. I wasn't sure what Emerald was feeling, but I knew he was sincere about releasing me, and I don't know why. He kept talking about me taking on Mr. Reynolds, but I don't know why. I could barely remember who I was not to talk about, Mr. Reynolds. Emerald cut the straps holding me down, and I launched at Zack, knocking him down to the ground. "You need to leave here fast. I don't know how you manage to free yourself." Emerald said, looking at me. He quickly drew Zack into a corner of the room and watched as I walked out of the room. I knew I had to find Elena and Elizabeth. The room was gigantic, and I saw a lot of demons staring at me. "Help me!" I heard a voice behind me, and I turned back in fright. I heard the sound of the door opening, and I saw Mr. Reynolds walked with Zack's father towards one of the cages. They had it opened, and I

    I looked back, and I saw Mr. Reynold,coming out of the shadow. "Do you think I was going to let you just get away like that?" He growled at me. I looked at Elizabeth, who was a bit scared, and Elena, who looked like she was going to die in my arms. "What did you do to her?" I shouted at him, forgetting I was trying to run away. "She isn't yours anymore. She is now mine." Mr. Reynolds said, looking at me with a devilish smile on his face. I felt Elena's movement as she stretched herself gently and got down from my arms, walking towards me, Reynolds. It almost looked like an Alpha, calling it a Beta wolf. "Eleanor! Elena!!" I shouted at her, but she didn't reply to me. "What did you do, you bastard?" I was about to charge at him when I saw some fire demons walking out to join him. "I am not done yet with you." Mr. Reynolds looked at me. "I am going to take over the world with your powers and have everyone kneel before me. No one is going to be able to stop me now. Get him!" he shouted

    Zeoy looked at Derek, and then he shook his head. I watched as they all gathered and whispered. "We can't do anything to help him. Remember the rules; we mustn't interfere in human matters." Derek looked at her. "MMax is a friend and also a hero. We can't just leave him hanging like that." Boyd added "II owe him my life. I would have been dead if not for him." Zeoy quickly chipped in, and everyone went dead silent. Derek took a few glances at me and then back at his friends. "If we are going to do this, then it must be based on my terms." He looked at their faces. " Agreed." They all nodded as they walked towards me. "WWe have agreed to help you get the girls back, but you are going to follow every bit of anything I tell you to do. No playing the hero part, and no moving without me asking you too." Derek said it with a stern gaze. I nodded, and I kind of felt like he was the one in charge. Although I have always given him respect, since I knew who killed my parents, I have always

    Reynold fixed his eyes on Maya, considering her question. "Turning him into a demon is a risk. Emerald's knowledge is invaluable, and his mind must remain sharp. The transformation might alter his thinking, and we can't afford any missteps." He paused, pacing the room. "For now, we watch him closely. Understood?" Maya nodded, her gaze shifting to Elena, who now stood by Reynold’s side, her eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and determination. “What about them?" She asked staring at Elena and Elizabeth Reynold looked at Elena and Elizabeth, " They are going to be useful in the coming days. Prepare yourselves. We are at the cusp of a new era. Once we have Max, nothing will stand in our way.” Stephan's jaw tightened. He loathed his father’s grandiose plans, but he knew resistance was futile. For now, at least. “I’ll gather my friends and set out tonight,” he said reluctantly. As the room cleared, Reynold pulled Stephan aside. “Remember, bring him back alive. We need his blood.” Step

    I was stunned as I looked at the demon king right before me. To think that Mr. Reynolds would summon him, was something I hadn't thought of before. I stared at the monster, and I wondered what the being was doing on the planet. I still haven't recovered my memory. "What the hell is happening?" I shouted at Derek. "We need to leave now!" He told the rest of his friends.I looked at Elena and Elizabeth and saw they were under Reynolds influence. Leaving with them was going to be a hard nut to crack. "Which of them is of true blood?" The demon king asked, looking at everyone in the room. Fear gripped me as I looked at Derek. "Do something!" I shouted at him, but it was too late. The demon king grabbed Boyd by the neck, and before I could say a word, he grabbed me by his other hand. We felt like termites in his hands as he squeezed us like we were balls.I saw the look on Mr. Reynolds face. He had only summoned the demon king because he knew he could not take on us. I squeaked like a mou

    The Final Battle****************The gods and the goddess have been keeping silent over the fight with Kluas. The fate of both worlds hanged in balance without the future uncertain. One thing I knew was that I needed to play my part in bringing balance to both worlds. I needed to defeat Klaus and also rid the university grounds of bullies. The only way to do that was to rid the bag eggs out, but I need to cut the head of the snake for the snake to die permanently. I laid on the bed, rolling up and down. I needed a plan if I was going to defeat Klaus and Zack. Both were born evil and would do anything to win. My mind raced as I thought about what was going to happen to me when I rid the earth of evil again. I don't want to die, and I also wanted to be with my heart. I knew Helena would be devastated if I died once again.I need to draw Klaus out. He was weak, and he is going to need time to heal himself. The best way to show him to the world was to bring him out in the open. Bringing

    "Where do you think he might be off too?" Derek asked, looking at me. "I don't know, but I am pretty sure he would go to a place far from here." I replied Zeoy walked up to me and said, "LLet me see." She said slowly checking out my face. She healed me, and Helena rushed towards my side. "We need to get off the university premises." She said it in haste. We immediately got into the car and zoomed out of the compound. My mind went back to Peter's family, which is my family now. I took out my phone and placed a call to Emma. "Are you alright? What about our parents?" I asked in haste, trying to know if Kluas had gone over to the house. "Slowly down," Emma said over the phone. My pulse quickened as I awaited her answer. "Can you just tell me what I asked from you?" I said quickly. "Well, Boyd here is doing a fine job protecting us. I am sure we are in capable hands," she replied. "I am on my way. I should be back at home any minute now." I replied, and I cut off the call. "We need

    I felt my pulse quicken as I stared at Zack—or rather, at the being that had taken control of him. Kluas had merged with Zack’s body, his glowing eyes revealing the god's overwhelming presence, and the menace in his voice left no doubt. “You don’t have to do this, Zack,” I said, keeping my tone steady, though the tension in the air was palpable. My hand twitched slightly, ready to summon the power of the Reaper’s territory if needed. “Kluas is using you. He doesn’t care about you, he’s just trying to survive. Once he’s done, you’ll be nothing.” Zack laughed, the sound echoing off the empty court in a way that made my skin crawl. “You always were naive, Max. Kluas isn’t using me. We are one now. I’ve always wanted power, and now I have it—limitless, godlike power. Together, we’ll crush anyone who stands in our way.” I stood my ground, my eyes scanning the area for any advantage.I knew that fighting Zack head-on, while he was possessed by Kluas, wasn’t the best plan.

    The tension was high as we drove towards the university grounds. "Do you think anyone is going to be on campus?" Helena asked, looking anxious. "We need to be certain that no one is there. Kluas would need a soul to merge with or go into extinction if he can't." I replied "Why not bond with anyone on the street? Why come down here?" Zeoy asked again. "I am not sure, alright. I don't know how a god is supposed to think." I replied harshly, and everyone was silent. "I am sorry, guys. I am just a bit anxious." "We all are." Derek said increasing the jeer We drove into the university grounds, and everywhere seems peaceful. "Do you think he is here?" Gilbert looked around. "He should be; I can feel him." I replied"This is what we are going to do. I want everyone to fan out and check the dorms. Search everywhere and give a call once you see anything or anyone that looks fishy." I replied I brought out a flash torchlight and gave it to everyone. "Don't engage; Kluas is dangerous, and

    Zeoy felt a kind of power she had never felt before. She slowly removed herself from the iron rod that had impaled her against the wall. Derek also felt more powerful than ever. "What is going on?" Kluas shouted in anger. And then something else happened. A territory appeared on the ground, giving immense power to all the reapers. Peter's eyes glowed, and his cut began to heal. Emma looked up, and out of fright, she ran away from Peter. " How? You were supposed to be dead." Kluas shouted out of fright. He quickly moved fast towards Peter, and he was gripped down by Peter 2. A soft smile played on Peter's lips. "Do you think you can stop us? I am unstoppable, and now you are going to know how powerful I am." I shouted as I and Peter merged, becoming one. "Derek, get everyone out of here." I said, looking at Derek's face. "You heard the boss; let's get out of here." He said, looking at Zeoy. "I am staying." Emma shouted as Derek pulled her up from the dusty floor. "Don't worry, you

    "We need to leave. If Derek is willing to sacrifice his life for us, then we need to take the chance now and get out of here." Zeoy shouted at Boyd Gilbert adjusted his glasses and immediately ran towards Helena. He grabbed her by the waist and made way for the main gate. Emma looked at Zeoy angrily. "This was not the deal. You said you needed me to get my brother to corporate. Now that he doesn't, you want to leave him alone to die?" She yelled out her lungs. "Listen to me, kiddo. Your brother understands the sacrifices he needs to make for himself and the family. Do you think someone forced him to be here? He came willingly on his own because Kluas threatened to kill you all if he didn't." Zeoy looked into Emma's eyes, and she began to sob. "Please save him. Please save my brother." Emma fell on her knees despite the walls crumbling around her. Zeoy looked at her and back at Boyd and Helena. "Your brother is..." Emma raised her head slightly up, looking into her face.

    Derek looked back at the Whitmores as they stood frozen in the aftermath of the fight. The tension in the room was thick, the air heavy with unsaid fears and a sense of impending doom. Derek's eyes darted to Emma, her determination shining through her fear. She was a brave soul, much like her brother, and Derek couldn't help but respect her opinion, even if he felt unsure about having her along."Emma, stick close," Derek instructed, his voice low but firm as they exited the mansion. The team moved swiftly, blending into the night as they walked the darkened streets. Zeoy took the lead, her eyes scanning for any sign of Klaus or Peter, her senses heightened by the adrenaline coursing through her veins.Boyd kept his gaze forward, his mind racing with thoughts of what Klaus might do now that he had Peter in his clutches. He knew the others could sense his worry, but there was no time for reassurances. They were all too aware of what was at stake.***************************************

    " Hello!" Zeoy shouted over the phone. Peter 2 without being told knows where to find Kluas. He beat off a young man off his powerbike and drove at a fast speed into the night. Meanwhile, Zeoy started to track Derek's phone, and it wasn't long before she found them all lying down, beating to a pulp. Zeoy noticed some minor injuries and immediately treated their wounds. Each of them got up, looking at her face. "He snapped and had us knocked out. Did you get him?" Gilbert asked "I am sorry, but when I got here, he was gone." Zeoy replied, watching Derek. "I told him I was going to protect her. I failed." Derek said with regret in his voice. "Now is not the time to sulk, Derek. We don't know what will happen to Peter. Do you know what happens when Klaus gets his power back? We lost this fight, and we became another pawn in his plan." Zeoy said with haste. "We need to admit it, Zoey. We are lost, and I don't think we can find him. I think our fate lies in the hands of a boy who doesn

    I was about to launch an attack at Kluas when Emma's phone rang again. Kluas had a sinister smile on his face as Zeoy and I looked at him. "Why don't you get that? It sounds pretty urgent." He said it with a smile on his face. "Do you think I care about them? Sending you back to where you belong will actually be saving a lot of lives." I replied as my face showed the mirror power within me. I can only pray that Derek and the rest of the reaper help in finding Helena on time. "You are going to give me what I want one way or the other, Max; there is no fighting it." Kluas smiled My phone rang again, and this time it was Peter's mother. "Don't come home, son; stay where you are." Selena said with a scared tone. I could hear the sound of crashing underneath. "What is going on, mother?" I shouted "Don't come home! They are trying to break in. Just stay where you are!" She shouted yet again. I looked at Kluas, and my eyes blazed with fury. I noticed my body twitched as Peter was trying
