Chapter 47
Oliver stood with his mouth open, staring at the spot where his soulmate and Luka were taken.
It had only been ten minutes, but everyone was freaking out.
Duke had called the maximum security to come and assess everyone in the mansion. They had locked everyone out of getting into the dining-room just in case there were more demons.
What confused the Vanderwood's more than anything was how the angels couldn't sense the hell-hounds.
And why did they just take Luka? Surely they would want Rayvon too.
John put his arm around Oliver, wanting to comfort him.
"It's okay son, keep faith in the angels" He soothed.
Oliver's mind was numb with worry but if he had to feel something, it should be hope.
He nodded and rubbed his eyes, trying to pull his mind away from that moment.
Rayvon was pacing and wringing his hands. He was frantically thinking about his soulmate. He could hear him and he was begging for it to stop in his mind. It was breaking the half vampire's heart.
He could feel how terrified he was and that was weighing heavy on his chest.
He looked at his watch.
they had been apart for eleven minutes.
Nobody was quite sure on what to do. They trusted the angels but what if Luka and Rayvon aren't together in time?
Oliver's eye's followed his son up and down the room, he was so worried but trying to keep himself together.
* * * * *
Vinny could barely breathe, they were travelling through the sky so fast and it was forcing him to catch his breath.
He had no room to think or understand what was happening.
But he knew Luka was still in his arms and there was no way he would let go. He knew he would be ten times more afraid than him and he had to keep him safe.
Luka had his face buried into the vampire's shoulder and his eyes were scrunched shut.
He wasn't ready for this. He wasn't ready for the fight.
"Stay strong for me, I know you're scared," Rayvon thought. "Please Luka, calm your mind."
The half angel had already started to shake.
Yes, he could fight. But that was no use with his timid mind, he would be too frightened.
Vinny was staying tense and trying to cope. But he had no idea what the hell was going on.
Suddenly, they seemed to change pace and it felt like they were getting slower.
Vinny dared to open an eye but he gasped and clutched Luka harder. The ground was coming at an exceptional speed.
It was getting nearer with every passing second, they had to slow down, surely they wouldn't hit the ground at this pace?
But they did.
Vinny, with all the strength he had gripped Luka but when they crashed along the ground, the boy was thrown from his grip and into the snow.
They both rolled and rolled, but the snow somewhat cushioned their fall.
The demons were thrown to the ground too.
The angels were right on their tail.
Vinny stopped and he stayed still for a second, his heart felt like it was in his mouth. It was pumping hard while he checked that nothing was seriously injured.
With one big breath, he looked up and saw Luka only five meters away but he was face down in the snow.
At the same time, he and the demons scrambled to their feet and ran towards the boy.
But the vampire was faster.
He shielded Luka and flashed his pearly white fangs and exposed his vibrant red eyes.
The demons slipped on the snow and jumped back with a gasp.
Vinny growled at them, showing and proving he was more dominant and would kill them if they came any closer.
Just then, the angels landed behind the filthy hell-hounds.
When they turned, Vinny rolled Luka over.
He was awake but clutching his chest and coughing.
"Luka, look at me, Where does it hurt?" Vinny asked but the boy instantly got up and flung his arms around him.
Vinny held him equally as tight, he needed to keep him safe.
"The limit, it's almost here" He sniffed into his waistcoat.
Vinny kept his eye on the fight that was unravelling out in front of him but he concentrated on the boy's words.
"It's alright, you'll see him soon" He soothed and rubbed his back.
He had let Luka sit on his knee to keep him off the snow. He had to stay dry, it was too cold for him here.
The Vampire glanced around. His surroundings were rocky, covered in snow and quite windy. It looked like they were on some sort of mountain.
He took his attention back to the fight and now, there was only one demon against three angels and Corey.
He had a knife in his hand and was grinning like a maniac.
"You're too late," He said, clearly mocking them.
Jed took a step forward, getting ready to kill him but more demons suddenly landed behind that one, instantly outnumbering the angels.
Panuleon and Corey glanced at their son but Vinny was still holding him tight.
They didn't leave any room for an interrogation and went straight into another fight.
The angels had their hands full, there were around twenty demons and they all had weapons and were fighting dirty.
One of them spotted Corey and knew he was only human.
He darted towards him but was blocked by Panuleon.
Although, as the angel was distracted, a big buff guy picked up Corey and threw him backwards.
The angels turned as he crashed into the snow but he was too close to the edge and fell off the side of the mountain.
Panuleon exposed his wings when he felt their bond being stretched and immediately chased after his soulmate, knowing he could save him but he had to leave the others.
He didn't have a choice.
Jed and Zachariah were strong as a pair and throwing a lot of demons away, but they kept coming back for more.
Vinny flashed his fangs at the demons who were watching him and Luka. He was keeping them back but they were threatening him with knives.
* * * * *
Rayvon suddenly dropped to his knees and cried out in pain. He clutched his chest, feeling that awful stretching sensation of his soul thumping on his chest.
"Oh god," He cried and doubled over from the pain. He couldn't cope.
Oliver quickly jogged around the table, coming to his son's aid.
There wasn't much he could do but attempt to comfort him.
He wrapped his arms around Rayvon who fell into his dad and gripped his t-shirt. The tears were falling and the heartache was rising.
"Dad, I need him right now" He sobbed.
Oliver frowned in discomfort and rubbed his back.
"You'll see him soon" He soothed but they both had no idea what was going on.
The longer they were all out there, the more worried everyone was getting.
Duke and Madison exchanged a glance. They were scared and needed to get to their safe house but Vinny and Luka were missing and they had to wait for them.
John was moving from one foot to the other. He was so worried for Vinny and Luka. But Jed was stressing him out the most. He didn't want him to get hurt.
* * * * *
Jed jumped back, narrowly missing the edge of the cliff as a demon slashed his knife carelessly through the air.
The demons were slowly getting closer to Vinny and Luka who was now sobbing against the Vampire's waistcoat.
The pain in his chest was unbearable. He and Rayvon were past their limit and it was too much for him to bear.
Vinny kept glancing at the angels, they had to get home and fast.
"You idiots!" One demon who had just arrived shouted and smacked a few on the back of the head. Vinny's grip only tightened on the boy while his little body shook. "You got the wrong one!"
The other demon's who were still trying to fight the angels kept glancing over.
"That is not Rayvon Vanderwood" The demon growled.
The other demons looked at each other but he did look like the person in the pictures.
The demons who were pretending to work in the Vanderwood mansion had very slyly captured pictures of the boys and they muddle Vinny and Rayvon because they look so alike.
"Does he look like an eighteen-year-old boy!?" He screeched, showing his anger.
The demons lowered their heads in shame. Most of them were scared to make eye contact.
It's true that Vinny has aged very, very well. But there's no way he would pass as an eighteen-year-old. He looked at least in his late twenties, when in fact, he was thirty-eight.
Zachariah snapped a demon's neck and decided to charge forwards, Luka must be absolutely freezing and he's in so much pain.
He filtered through the demons as they swarmed him.
Jed followed him just as Panuleon and Corey landed back on the mountain.
The human looked maybe a tiny bit shaken up but they had to protect their son and Vinny.
They ran forwards, getting ready to attack.
The demon who was angry that they got the wrong Vanderwood sighed and put a hand on his head.
"Right, we'll take them both. We can assess what they're like apart from their soulmate's for a few days" The demon said, making Vinny widen his eyes.
He couldn't be away from Oliver for that long and Rayvon and Luka probably wouldn't even last a few hours.
When the demons took a step closer, Vinny got up but stayed low and backed away, flashing his sharp fangs.
"Touch the boy and I will kill you" He growled with angry eyes.
All of the demons suddenly looked very nervous, they were scared of the vampire and really didn't want to get bitten.
Vinny was really glaring hard but he kept looking at the angels for help.
He couldn't fight, he had Luka in his arms.
Panuleon and Corey were desperately fighting. They could see Vinny and Luka getting closer and closer to danger and they had to do anything in their power to get to them.
Jed then made a breakthrough and ran towards the boys but a demon rugby-tackled him to the ground, delaying his attempt to save them.
Zachariah was finding this very strange.
He was surrounded by so many demons but couldn't sense any of them.
He noticed that they were all wearing a strange gold band around their wrists and wondered if that somehow turned off their demon auras.
"It's ready!" A demon said, making who Vinny thought was the demon leader, nod his head.
"Let's go."
The demons had no choice but to get close to the Vampire but Vinny was standing his ground.
He looked viscous, incredibly powerful and scary.
"If you come without a fight, we won't hurt you or the boy" The hell-hounds voice grated off Vinny's skin.
Suddenly, a demon stepped out of nowhere.
Vinny stared at the air in front of him as fear spiked his heart.
The demons had cut another tear in the fabrics of the worlds and he knew they would be taken to Panuleon and Corey's old world.
But a plan flashed through his thoughts.
It was one that wouldn't benefit him in the slightest but it would keep Luka safe.
The Vampire took a breath and stood up straight.
"We'll come quietly," He said bluntly, making the demon leader nod and let out a sinister chuckle.
"Oh good," He mocked and showed a toothy grin.
Most of the demons who the angels were not fighting started stepping through the tear, disappearing in front of the vampire.
Vinny looked to his side, making sure the angels understood what was about to happen.
Jed had seen but Zachariah had not, he was too busy getting pinned to the ground.
Panuleon locked eyes with him, suddenly seeing the tear and knew where his child was headed.
But Vinny was giving him a certain look and then time seemed to slow down.
When one of the last demons stepped through the tear, it was Vinny's turn.
His eyes stayed on Panuleon and the angel seemed to understand his plan. He didn't like it, but it would give Luka a good chance to get back to his soulmate.
As the vampire took a step forwards, he whispered to the half angel, crying in his arms.
"Luka, let go. I'll get you back to your soulmate but you have to trust me" He whispered. "Let go."
The poor boy could barely hear him but he would do almost anything to be with Rayvon, so he did what the Vampire asked and let go.
As soon as Vinny felt his grip loosen, he instantly spun on his heels.
Panuleon was watching as he pulled the boy away from him and used all of his strengths to lunge him through the air.
Luka gasped as he flew over the top of the demons who watched with raised eyebrows.
Panuleon grabbed Corey and jumped high, catching his son in the process.
Vinny didn't wait to see if it was a victory or not before running towards the demon leader.
He grabbed him off guard and dived through the tear.
The vampire landed on the snow but he knew he had done it, he was in the other world.
Panuleon flashed his wings and instantly disappeared.
Jed and Zachariah somewhat relaxed but Vinny was gone and they needed to save him.
Vinny pushed the demon leader away and flashed his fangs.
As he turned to get back through the tear, his heart almost exploded.
The demons were clamping it and starting to close the gap.
He instantly jumped to his feet and sprinted forwards.
On the other side, the angels were running too. They could see it was closing.
They were seconds away but the demons were going faster and faster, wanting to capture the vampire.
Vinny kept going, he had to get through, he needed to get through.
As the demons watched with desperation, Vinny sprinted past them and through the tear.
He sighed in relief and turned, but the blood turned cold in his skin, he could still see the demons.
"No" He whispered and looked around, searching for the tear.
But it was gone.
The demons had done it.
Jed and Zachariah ran around, also frantically searching.
The vampire dropped to his knees as his chest became tight.
He was trapped in the wrong world.
