Shades of Fae The Ultimate Hybrid (Maliha & Rykers Tale)

Chapter 7

Damon's point of view

As Lily was walking over to my cell, I started to hear the fighting going on outside. Not even thinking about it, as soon as I heard the click of the lock I burst through the door. At this point I am in full demon mode, with my wings expanded to their fullest so whoever is coming down the stairs can't see little Lily. I'm in protective mode for this little girl, and I don't think she realizes it.

Heavy foot steps make their way down the steps as the doors swing open. In runs about three of the rogues, unaware of what awaits them. They slam the door shut and as they turn around their eyes meet mine. With a huge grin on my face, They turn pale and I think one of them actually pissed themselves. Looking down to the floor, there is a yellow tinted puddle, Yup this sick f**k just pissed on the floor

I have seen this little girl put her time into cleaning this nasty, dingy concrete floor. She puts extra effort in to make it as clean as possible for the prisoners down here and this disrespectful ass just pissed all over it. That made my anger boil even more, so extending my claws, with one swipe the piss heads head lands in his own puddle.

The other two turn to go for the door but I grab them by the back of their necks, slam both of their faces into the door. Hear a sickening crunch, pulling them back and see some blood on the gray stone wall. With a slight smile I then knock their heads together with a thud. With their unconscious bodies still in my hands I Turn around to look at the woman and son in the cell near the back. I hold the two men up and ask. "Are any of these two the guys that took you?" The mother spoke up, "Actually they were both there."

Looking around for Lily to get the key to lock these two up, that's when I saw her on the floor holding her ribs. As if they were nothing I tossed the two men on either side of me. I quickly got on my knees to get to Lily. "Princess I am so sorry, are you ok? I didn't mean to hit you with the door, I just heard the men coming and my demon took over". With a small smile on her pale little face "It's ok Damon, I understand now".

Stretching my hand out to her I realize I am still in my demon form and I am probably terrifying the poor girl. Pulling my hand back and standing up to get back to my human form I hear her tiny voice. "Damon it's ok, I am not scared. Stay in that form I actually feel safer with you like that".

With that said I bend down and pick her up gently and in a cradle position so she wont move her ribs to much. "Can I get the key princess?' Her little hand pulls out the key and hands it to me. With that I go and unlock the rest of the doors. There is the mother and son, and two other cells with people in them. One is a wolf while the other is a werepanther. I look at them both and asked, "I will unlock the wolf in shackles, but can you two help him walk outta here?" The one huffs a little but helps none the less. The men that the mother described I put the one in the shackles hanging from the ceiling by his feet, and the other I put the shackles that are in the wall, on his wrist.

Smiling at my handy work, thinking to myself They are going to love this when they wake up. Looking around to the others, I ask them "are you all ready to join in the fight. Shyan I think it is, would you rather you, your son and ms Lily stay down here until it is over?"

Looking like she is talking to someone she finally looks back at me an says "no it's ok, my husband said it's almost over. We should get up there and see if they need any help with the other prisoners here." With that said we make out way out of this damn dungeon.

Lily's (Mahila) point of view

When Damon burst through that door, I thought maybe I had made a mistake. Then I saw the men come in, well what I could see being behind Damon's massive, black with red vein like strips, red on the top trim and red in rounded parts. It looks like the red was the bone structure of the wings and his veins. They were gorgeous, I couldn't take my eyes off them. Then I saw the mans head land in a yellow tinted puddle, Oh god was that pee, gross. Hearing a couple crunches and what sounded like wooden bowls being clunk together. Turning around I saw his face, he looked like he was having a little fun.

After asking Shyan about the men, it was almost like out of a movie. The two men go flying like they weighed nothing, in opposite directions. I'm guessing I looked like I was in more pain then I was cause Damon bent down to me with concern and guilt in his eyes. "Princess I am so sorry, are you ok? I didn't mean to hit you with the door, I just heard the men coming and my demon took over". Mustering up a smile I tell him "It's ok Damon, I understand now".

It wasn't a lie, I was to busy being in a daze, watching him do his thing to really pay attention to the pain I was in. After I realize he was reaching out to me but then pulled away looking at his hand, with a worried look on his face. I realize then that he must be worried that he is scaring me by being in his demon form. With a slight smile on my face as he goes to stand I tell him. "Damon it's ok, I am not scared. Stay in that form I actually feel safer with you like that".

That put the smile back on my face as he lifts me up as gently as his big hands can. Laying in a cradled position, I get as comfortable as I can. "Can I get the key princess?" I hear Damon ask me. I hand him the key knowing he is going to let everyone else out. Getting quit comfortable in his arms, I zone out a little. The next thing I know we are heading out the dungeon doors.

Going up the stairs I hear the commotion going on outside, I get a little tense. With me in one arm, how will Damon be able to fight. Tapping my fingers on his arm to get his attention, looking up at him as he looks down at me. Staring into his red eyes "You can put me down if you need to, I don't want to distract you or be the cause of you getting hurt. I can walk from here." With a half smile he shakes his head slightly, "You are no problem little princess, I have this covered." He looks back at the two men helping the other man that was just tortured no more then two hours ago. He is looking a little better, some of his color has come back, but he is still in bad shape. The bandage I wrapped over his arm is soaked in blood and his mouth had dried blood all over it. With a little relief, knowing he has at least stopped bleeding from the mouth I turn back around.

As we are walking through the halls we reach the main room where the front doors are. This is probably the biggest room they have in their entire camp. It holds three brown leather couches, seven brown recliners, four stands randomly placed by some of the seats. The walls are just the color of the wood they used to build this place, like an old gray brown wood. The floors had a few throw rugs placed by the couches. They were so dirty that you cant make out the design on them. Beer bottles, pop cans, and paper plates with food on them littered the floor and tables.

We get to the front door and that was something else. It was straight out of a horror scene. You know one of the over the top with blood and guts everywhere. We make our way outside, I don't have my wolf yet but I could smell the strong stench of blood. I still see wolves fighting off wolves, but not to many. There was a demon fighting off a couple of wolves and a vamp. One wolf grabbed his arm that he swung at him, another wolf grabbed the opposite leg while the vampire got on his back and got him in a choke hold. I thought for sure the demon was going to die then, but Damon lifted off into the air, flew over to the other demon and with one motion grabbed the vamps head and ripped it off his shoulders. The vamps body went limp and it fell to the ground. When damon did that the two wolves got distracted enough that the other demon grabbed the one on his arm, with his free hand, threw him into a tree with some cracks. Then with the same tree he aimed like he was going to kick it, as his foot came into contact with the tree it went through the tree, the tree fell and the wolf that was attached to his foot was now limp on the ground with the tree on top of it.

Busy watching all of this go down, I see something in the distance. It looks like a couple of females back there looking at the battle. They look like their talking, but I'm to far away to make out what they are saying. As I realize who they are I pat Damon's hand "Damon witches over" is all I got out when I see a gray smokie like cloud come from their hands. As it gets closer it breaks off into tiny balls. There are about three of them. I try to yell "Watch Out" but it was no use. I cant get my voice that loud with the pain I am in. One ball hurls toward a huge gray wolf, another toward the demon that Damon helped and the last one goes in the direction of Shyan.

With my eyes bulging out of my head, i'm hitting Damon's arm and pointing toward Shyan and the gray smoke ball. Seeing what I am pointing at Damon yells "Shyan watch out" as he is pointing to the ball. She dodges it just in time and it hits the door behind her instead. The other two were not so lucky, As soon as the balls hit them they fell to the ground withering in pain.

At this point I can feel Damon shaking with anger as he turns toward the witches, who are by the way back their laughing now. Faster then I have seen him move before, he is right in front of the two women. Grabbing them by the necks so they cant cast any more spells, now with all the laughter replaced by fear. They are digging and clawing Damon's hands he twitches his hands slightly sideways and I hear a crack and their bodies go limp. I'm guessing he just snapped their necks.

As he drops the bodies and then takes his arm and puts it back under me, that's when I realize, in the heat of the moment I did't know he moved me. To busy watching him in action, I didn't know he had his one wing under me holding me up as he was using both of his hands. Now back in his arm, we make our way back over to the two that got hit. Most of the men had shifted back to their human forms, some still nude with a bag tied to their leg. I'm guessing that's where they keep their shorts.

A man with a deep voice rushes over to the wolf and bellows out "What did those witches do to my beta". The sound I thought I would never hear again, that demented laugh of Mick. Laughing he says "They poisoned him with magic, and only magic can fix it." Laughing he looks around and then back at the man I am guessing is the Alpha. "Looks to me like you brought no witches with you, so say bye to your precious beta."
