Dylan Pov

It took some time, but I finally started breaking through my bindings. I could see my hand peaking through the leafy ropes. I was starting to feel stiff with how long I was held still, but now is not the time for thinking of that. I need to figure out how to get out of here.

I look at the tree-like bars that keep me held inside. I grab them and start to pull, some vein hope that they will move....and they do.

They bend in the direction that I push and I am able to step out. "What the hell?" I ask myself and look at my hands. "Did I really just do that?"

I make a run to the door and see vines blocking it. I move my right hand to the right and half of the vines move. I do the same thing with my left hand and the rest cleared the way. Do I have the same abilities as Demitri? 

I take off running out of the door and make my way down the corridor. I need to find y/n, I need to make sure she is safe from the demon.

I just run until I suddenly smack into someone. I nearly hit the ground but am caught by a few vines. As I am lifted, I look at the ground and see it is y/n that I ran into.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" I ask her as I help her up and pull her into a hug. I hear her gasp before she returns my hug. "I'm fine." I hear her sniffle.

She pulls back and looks in my eyes. "You are Dylan...right?"

I'm a bit shocked at her question. "Yes, of course I am. Why would you need to ask this?"

"For one, you are roaming free...I don't think Demitri would allow that. Then there is the fact that the vegetation kept you from falling."

Oh yeah.

"I just found out that I have some of the same abilities as Demitri. I was able to get out of my holding cell because of this. We have an advantage now; we might be able to put him down for good!"

I watch her face for a moment, waiting to see a bit of happiness yet it doesn't shine forth.

"What's wrong?" I ask and hold her hands. She looks up at me with worry in her beautiful eyes.

"We have a way to catch him...not a way to ultimately be rid of him. Remember that you being alive is what keeps him alive." You tell him grimly.

Yeah, that is true. Hmm, "Maybe he has a book that will tell us of another way, maybe one that can separate us."

I watch as she nods her head in agreement and we look around the place for any books. Then again, he has been dead for a while and this new home of his is the apartment complex. How would he have any books for us to look for?

"Hold up, why would he have any information on this? He just came back from the dead; no way is he going to have any of his stuff from before." I sigh.

She looked perplexed for a moment before her face lit up. "He has magic, maybe he was able to conjure up his old books? It really can't hurt to look."

"Yeah, it can't hurt. However, if we can't find anything anytime soon, we need to leave this place. I'll Devin and Jay, and then our family and we will just hide away from him, ok?"

With a nod of her head, she confirms the plan. I know she doesn't like the idea, but it is for the best.

"Anyway, change of subject, while we look, mind me asking how you were able to leave your lovers cage."

She wrinkles up her nose in the cutest of ways. She opens her mouth, "Well, I wasn't exactly locked up....."

Y/N POV

~Flashback~

You take a look through the gaps of the vines on the windows to see all the destruction being caused. Why did you have to be an idiot and plant that stupid seed? Sure it brought Dylan back, but it also brought the monster as well.

You need to fix this, it is your fault. So many people have just died and the realization is finally actually setting in. DAMNIT!

You walk to the door of the room and walk out. While Demitri is busy outside, you take this time to explore the whole palace. Maybe you can find Dylan or something.

You went through each and every room trying to find something, anything really. Your luck, however, is not the best.

As you walk, however, you hear footsteps running in your direction. Just as you turn your head, you run smack dab into the one person you were looking for.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" you hear him ask.

~End of Flashback~

"And that's about it. I wasn't really stuck in the room, just stuck inside this whole place." You explain.

Demitri knew there is no way down from this height without the right tools, so he didn't see a need in locking you in one specific room. It wouldn't take much to find you in here anyway, even with hundreds of place to hide from him.

"Here's door number one, let's get our snooping on before he comes back." Dylan remarks. With that, you open the door.

Devin POV

Oh my god, this is terrifying! What's terrifying? Heights! My brothers and I are currently scaling up the side of the freak's new home with their climbing gear. When I say we are high, I mean we a f**king high, like a thousand feet in the air.

How did I get into this mess? It's the only way to reach y/n. It was really difficult to get to the base with all the other monsters running around. Nathan did help a few people along the way to keep them alive.

Anyway, we made it to the bottom of the tree house and started climbing. Actually, Nathan and Drake was climbing, Drake is nice enough to carry me up the said tree with a rope harnessed to his back.

I would climb this thing, but I wouldn't have made it a hundred feet up without freaking out.

"How are you holding up Devin?" Nathan questions.

"Well, I would be better once I get ground under my feet." I snarl.

"Sorry your highness, I am going as fast as I can." Drake snaps.

I cringe, not meaning to sound so impatient. I just don't like dangling this far from the ground.

"We're almost there, just 'hang' in there." Nathan laughs.

Oh boy, the puns are going to start flowing as a way to distract me....Y/n isn't the only one who needs help now.

Sorry about the long wait, I had to erase the original chapter since I had a different idea of how I want this story to end.

I hope you all enjoy this update, especially since there is only one final chapter left. So many people have sent me several theories as to how this story will end, but I won't give any hints.
