I’d get mine once I had my hellfire under control.
“Angels can feel when and where a rip is made, so if it’s in the local area, I will either contact Everwood Hunters, or send students who are ready to start undertaking missions,” Dezikiel added as I chewed my lip.
“So, those demons are the ones that human hunters go after too. They cause more issues than demonics.”
“Yes, that’s correct,” Dezikiel nodded.
“And our real duty is to fight them,” I murmured.
“We get paid for it,” Jack stated, and I turned to him.
“You’ve been out on these hunts?” I gaped.
“That errand we ran, it was a hunt. Vampires possessed by demons. Not something normal demonics can handle easily. Us hellhounds are pretty strong and powerful, we can withstand more injuries and heal faster from demonic injuries,” Creeper explained.
“Great,” I grumbled.
“Lily, I’ve not been entirely forthcoming with you,” Dezikiel said as he moved closer, clasping his hands before him as his face set. “I am under the belief that both angels and demons alike want you gone. I know for a fact that the High Council had high hopes for you and your hellhounds in regards to dealing with demons. But I also believe the High Council has some corruption present. That there are some within it who believe the offspring of a Prince of Hell should not be here. Which is believable considering that demon monster had angelic grace present, making it immune to most of our weapons. As to why the demons want you gone, I believe the Princes of Hell deem you a threat. That’s why one went after your mother all those years ago, and she was able to take him down with her. Now there remain only five Princes, including your father.”
“Why would I be a threat?” I snapped, hating that he was suggesting my mother died for me. The thought made my blood run cold. That was why my mother had died? For me? And she’d taken the Prince down with her? How?
“You are the daughter of a Prince of Hell. The most royal demon bloodline runs through you. The power you wield, if honed and mastered, could maybe even out-power a Prince. That is why they want you gone. They’re afraid of you,” Dezikiel said, his piercing gaze making me bite my lip hard enough that I nearly drew blood.
I was potentially more powerful than a Prince of Hell? How? My Hellfire wasn’t anything fancy.
My mind jumped back to that day with Mr. Baron. My other powers we hadn’t yet touched on. I had a power over lower class demons. And could manipulate people. Was that something that made me dangerous? I didn’t even know how to use those powers yet.
“We all were unsure of Charlie, but we are bound by the High Council. We had to do as they requested,” Mr. Baron spoke up.
“I’ve sent word to the High Council, they will send someone to speak with me. I’ve requested a friend whom I trust, someone I know won’t be corrupted by others,” Dezikiel stated.
“And here I thought all angels were the good guys,” I snorted. “Guess they’re more like the ones from ‘Supernatural’, some are just dicks.”
Chumley snickered at this, and I shot him a smirk, glad that he caught the reference.
“Angels, even though they are meant to serve humanity and watch over them, can be…well, dicks,” Dezikiel agreed with an amused smile.
“So what now?” I asked, shifting nervously as Jack still had one arm around my shoulders.
I felt a little awkward still lying on my bed, even though I was sitting up straight against my pillows.
“I think Mr. Baron will start teaching you your other powers. I will do some investigating, and the Academy will remain on alert. No more students until we figure out what’s going on with the High Council,” Dezikiel stated.
“So we just wait for a Prince of Hell or an angel to make a move?” Creeper snarled.
“No. We investigate what’s going on,” Miss Sage chided him.
I had to agree with Creeper. It sounded an awful lot like doing nothing and just waiting for something to happen.
But what more could we do?
