The other demon hunters came there, waiting for Kylie to explain why she had sided with evil. She tried explaining to them who the main threat to humans was but Dianne would always interrupt her, calling her a liar. Seeing that she was already losing, Dianne conjured a silent dark force to possess them.
The human eyes turned dark and they drew out their weapon and pointed it at Kylie.
"What just happened? I thought they were already listening to you, Kylie?" Beatrice said worriedly.
"I thought so too Mom but I…."
Zayn quickly covered Beatrice and Nathan's nose. "Dark eye is around us?" He said. Kylie quickly covered herself with light as the dark smoke came closer to her.
Kylie looked at Zayn, "Take Mom and Dad with you, I'd try to snap them out of this"
"I should wait just in case…." Zayn said
"I can handle myself, okay?"
Zayn looked at her and he saw courage in her, he sighed in defeat and flew high with her parents.
Kylie tried snapping all of them out but it just seemed impossible, the source of the dark powers was too close, making it difficult for her to break. She knew the war was to be fought another day so she flew away, looking at how humans were possessed without help.
"You all won't get away with this I swear" she promised before disappearing.
**Daichi kingdom
They all got to the palace, drained, they explained all that had happened in the human world and they all were shocked.
"Should we launch an attack on the human world first my Lord??" Enzo asked.
"No!!" Kylie loudly disagreed
"We won't do that Enzo, the humans are not our enemies, we can't destroy their world," Raymon said
"But they're waging war using the human world as a shield," Enzo said, extremely angry at the fact that the war would be at their disadvantage.
"We should guard all entries and exit cautiously till we come up with a plan," Zayn said
"We'd start with our rigorous training by tomorrow morning, I'd be the coach "
Raymon, Zayn, Rafael, and Enzo, "..."
"Let's get some rest, we'd have a long day tomorrow " Rafael chipped in.
In the middle of the night, when they were all asleep. Zayn rose to check in and out of the castle something felt wrong. Raymon was awake as well, he equally had a bad feeling. They flew to the gates of the kingdom and noticed all the guards on duty were asleep. The duo exchanged suspicious looks as they approached different guards, immediately they heard flying sounds of arrows coming from behind the gate.
"Look out!!!" Raymon said to his brother as they both went different ways to dodge the incoming arrows and just then the whole area caught fire, Zayn looked back and saw that the beautiful garden at the kingdom's gate was already on fire.
"We are being ambushed" Zayn shouted as he telepathically spoke to the guards. "Protect everyone in the palace"
The brothers started fighting, the demons weren't as strong as them so it was easy. After hours of fighting them, they realized they weren't reducing in numbers.
"Just how many are these guys?" Raymon asked, frustrated.
"Enough to distract us," Zayn said.
"Let's get them over with, we need to return to the palace"
**The palace
Alyssa suddenly felt labor pain soon after Raymon left, the baby was coming. She screamed to attract the attention of the maidens and guards around. Kylie, Vera, Mira, Beatrice, and Queen Tiffany had rushed into the room.
Vera was so absent-minded, that he had a frightening vision, Daichi was on fire. They were attending to Alyssa when they heard light running footsteps in front of the door.
Enzo and the other guards got Zayn's order and they swung into action. Protecting everyone's room, soon they heard a loud deafening bang, a huge rock had broken a glass, and demons were trooping into the palace. Glasses kept shattering and more demons kept trooping in.
"Protect the women of the palace" Enzo ordered as more guards stood in front of the room.
Kylie and Vera had gone to get the latest update on the palace situation.
"It's a girl," Queen Tiffany announced happily. She had taken the girl in for dressing.
"This is the wrong time but we should protect Alyssa and her baby," Kylie said. "You should stay in here with Alyssa and mother with the baby, I need to protect you all "
Queen Tiffany had brought the baby back to the room. "The palace is surrounded, please take care of yourselves," she said to Vera, Alyssa, and Beatrice. "Enzo and the rest would look out for you "
"Mother!!....." Alyssa weakly called.
"I'd be fine, I haven't carried my grandchild so I'd come back alive," she said. She doesn't know the amount of opponents they had but she had to win, she wasn't the queen of Daichi for title sake alone.
Kylie went to the third floor and drew out a sword, the intruders were demons and not human, it wouldn't bother her spirit if she had to kill them off.
They grinned at her in their large numbers while she smirked, "Come over here"
Queen Tiffany took the fourth floor, she watched those smaller demons come out of the rooms in the hallway. Her eyes turned ashen as she brought out two daggers as she rushed out at them.
King Yohan had taken the greater number of demons. He was determined to not let them get into the palace. He was slashing them mercilessly without beading sweat.
Vera yelped as the glass in the room scattered, Alyssa was too weak but she held onto her baby with all her might, Beatrice and Enzo fought hand in hand to protect Alyssa and the baby. The room became too small as the demons trooped in without stopping.
"We need to get out of here right now else we'd be cornered," Beatrice said. "Enzo, cover Alyssa and the baby and lead the team out, call for backup as well"
Enzo covered Alyssa as they left the room but to his surprise, all the other guards were fighting other demons. "What the hell?" He cursed. "My lady, let's move," he said as he signaled Vera and Mira.
"What about Beatrice?" Alyssa asked worriedly.
"Your safety is our priority, let's move, " Enzo replied. As they turned to leave, the loud thud they heard made them turn around to see who it was.
"Beatrice!!"
"Aunty!!"
They screamed as Beatrice had been thrown out of the room, she had knife cuts on her. Vera went to raise her, cutting anything that came her way.
"Aunty, please get up," she said.
"Fuck"
They heard Enzo curse out loudly, the demons they had killed and the ones they were fighting began to shred skin. They turned twice their size and height with spikes all over their body. With one powerful swing, Enzo was thrown out of the fourth floor downstairs.
"No!!!!!" The women screamed…
