Chapter 2
Queen Tiffany kept staring at the fragile human her son's life was connected to, she was grateful for the child's existence which paved the way for a second chance for Zayn. She looked at her husband, King Yohan who seemed to understand what she had in mind.
"Reed! Reed!!" King Yohan summoned a young, well-muscled, good-looking, agile man with slightly red eyes and a bright smile.
"Yes, your royalty," Reed answered.
"I want you to personally protect the baby in here" Yohan ordered. "Protect her the same way, you would protect Raymon and Zayn, not a single scratch is meant to be on her body" he added. "Am I clear?" He said loudly.
"Yes, your royalty "Reed nodded before leaving to carry out his duty.
**St. Patrick Hospital, Mega City
In ward 6a, Beatrice is seen resting on the bed, beside her is baby Kylie who was peacefully sleeping until a dark presence was sensed in the room. Baby Kylie was the first to react to the dark presence as she started crying, her cry alerted Beatrice who found it difficult to move as the dark presence was heavy in the room.
"Who is there?" Beatrice asked with a shaking voice. "Wh..wh.. who's it?" She asked again, extremely frightened as she grabbed the crying Kylie out of her crib and hugged her tightly.
Reed, who was the dark presence had no intention of scaring them, he only came for his mission, little did he know that humans would be so scared of the presence of a demon.

"What the hell is Reed doing?" Queen Tiffany yelled before throwing her wine glass to the wall.
"Calm down, I'm sure …" King Yohan said before he was interrupted.
"Did you just tell me to calm down?" Queen Tiffany asked while tightly holding King Yohan's sleeve.
"I only have my son back because of that baby, Yohan and Reed want us to lose her due to his negligence, " Tiffany said bitterly.
King Yohan could tolerate everything but not Tiffany in tears, he loved her with every breath of his.
"Come back right now!" King Yohan telepathically summoned Reed.
** Back to the hospital
"Oh goodness! I'm in for some serious scolding" Reed swore inwardly before leaving the hospital.
As soon as Reed left the room, and his dark presence couldn't be felt anymore, Kylie stopped crying and Beatrice staggered as she tried to run away from the room. She crawled to the door with Kylie in her hands as she was breathing heavily. Beatrice struggled to turn the door nub open with her shaking hands just then the door was opened by Nathan.
"My love, what's happening here?" Nathan asked as he bent down to pacify the scared-looking Beatrice who tightly held onto him.
"N…Nathan, there's someone in here". Beatrice stammered while looking everywhere in fear.
"There's no one here my love," Nathan said utterly confused.
"You have to believe me, there was someone here, he had a dark presence, I could feel it," Beatrice said, shivering.
"Do you mean a de…." Nathan's mouth was covered with Beatrice's sweaty hands as she kept shaking her head violently.
"Okay, hush, hush" Nathan tried calming her down.
"What if they're here to hurt our baby because of what we did to their kind" Beatrice whispered before sobbing loudly.
"No one is here to hurt us," Nathan said. "It's been ages and we have been safe my love" he added " "Besides we did our job and we did it for the benefit of all humans," he said encouraging Beatrice. "No one can ever harm us, especially not them". Nathan sounded positive with a stern face.
Nathan went over to ask the doctor to prepare the discharge documents for his family while he went to get the necessary tools they'd need if the dark presence showed up again. While driving home, both Nathan and Beatrice were lost in their thoughts.
*Flashback
A dark snowy Tuesday
"It's over there! Run after it" Beatrice yelled after sighting a demon.
Nathan and Jane chased the demon before slewing it.
"Argh!" Jane exclaimed as the demon's blood splashed on her face.
"Just what on earth are these creatures?" Nathan asked both Beatrice and Jane.
"Well, we'll find out when we get it to the headquarters, " Beatrice replied before the three of them took the demon's body to the trunk of the truck.
**At the headquarters
" Congratulations on your victory, squad 3 warriors, '' Don Ian said to the trio in front of him.
"Thank you, sir!" Beatrice, Nathan, and Jane, the squad 3 warriors replied.
"After a thorough examination, we've concluded that the weird creature roaming around the city is a demon and we have decided to declare a state of emergency, any place a demon is sighted, it must be killed immediately"Don Ian commanded.
"Sir, yes sir!!" The trio said before leaving Don Ian.
"Damn it! Just when I thought I was finally free from such insane missions, this demon thing came up" Jane said exhaustedly before roughly kicking a bottle lying around.
"Tch, tch, tch, that's why we are the squad 3 warriors of the Council of Human (CH), we are given the most difficult task to finish. Nathan reasoned.
"Enough with the talk, let's get to work and kick some ass" Beatrice smirked before holding both of them at the shoulder.
Beatrice, Nathan, Jane, and many humans were working as squad warriors for the Council of Humans (CH). The human world was in danger as supernatural beings, with terrifying looks kept feasting on them. The Council of Humans (CH)was formed by rich and highly concerned citizens to protect humans.
The humans who got selected as squad warriors would undergo a series of training before being given the badge of an emblem in gold circle (CH). Their mission was to get rid of anything that could threaten the peace of humans from the face of the earth.
Beatrice, Nathan, and Jane grew from Squad Warriors 1 to Squad Warriors 3 making them the strongest humans to battle with a superhuman and still return alive.

Baby Kylie's cry jolted Beatrice back to reality as she turned from her seat to pacify her baby.
"I swear on the oath of the Council, I won't let any harm come to you both, I will protect you with my life even if it means killing all those demons" Nathan swore inwardly before zooming off with high speed
