My Own Flesh And Blood

Chapter 22

Shadows and Christ came to both of my sides as they grabbed Synyster by his arms to get him off of me.

I was able to breath again but my body was aching and I couldn’t move to get up at all. I just stayed still on the floor and tried to even my breathes. I’ve had to much going on for one day.

I breathed in and rolled to my side slowly on my arm, biting my lip. I tried getting up with much ease as I could but I managed.

I looked around the room at the guys. Instead of Shadows holding Synyster, it was Vengeance and Christ.

The Rev turned his head towards me and glared. Being under his stare was scary, those cold blue eyes did not give me comfort at all, no matter how beautiful they are. His glare was intense, I had no where to look but at him. If I looked some where else, to me, it would’ve been a sign of weakness.

What happened next scared the crap out of me.

Third Point Of View

“You!” The Rev hissed and pointed his finger at Harlot, “You fucking bitch. Do you have any fucking idea of the shit I went through? Huh?! No, you fucking don’t!”

“Calm down!” hissed Christ at The Rev.

“You want me to calm the fuck down?? No, I will fucking not!!!!” The Rev snapped at Christ.

“Your fath-,” The Rev started but Shadows beat him to it.

’-Your father is the Devil.’ No pun intended. The Rev had to hold back or else he will get hell from Shadows too and he has had enough of that.

“That’s enough!,” Shadows commanded.

Vengeance and Christ stood there looking at Shadows and The Rev back and forth while holding Synyster. Harlot was covered in fear. She had no idea what The Rev was talking about at all.

Everyone was silent for a moment until Shadows spoke up.

“Christ and I will take Synyster to my office. Vengeance, I need you to take Harlot into the other second Master Bedroom and get someone to help her with her wounds. Get one of the demons to guard her outside of the door. After you’re done, meet me in my Office. Rev, you’re coming with me since we all know you’re going to refuse staying put in a bed, when you should because of your wounds,” Shadows said and shook his head.

After Shadows gave his commands, they arrived at his office. Everyone except Vengeance of course. Shadows went behind his desk and into a drawer which held a First Aid Kit. He had one in each room for safety measures. He looked at his own wounds and Synyster’s too. They were starting to heal. Synyster wasn’t really badly injured. He had a few scratches here and there but nothing too severe.

On the other hand, Shadows did have a bit more deeper wounds but it wouldn't compare to the ones that The Rev had imbedded on his skin and body. The door opened revealing Vengeance.

“Here,” Shadows threw some gauze and bandages of all sorts of size, along with a few of other things to Vengeance and Christ, “Help Synyster and Rev. I’ll fix my own wounds.”

Synyster was placed on a chair as well as The Rev. Shadows sat in his chair behind his desk and took a pair of tweezers in his hands. He looked at his stomach, at the damage that Lucifer had done. Some of his skin was healing and closing, well, more like trying to do both. He gave a short sigh before he began picking at his skin and into his flesh, checking for splinters of wood.

He looked up from his wounds to see Vengeance and Christ helping their two friends. He went back to continuing fixing his wounds and cleaned his stomach with alcohol, ending it with him putting a bandage on. He got up from his chair and stood in front of his desk, leaning on it.

Shadows thought. He’ll have to be one step ahead of Lucifer and plan out his tactics very carefully. He can’t let Lucifer have her. No, he won’t let it happen.

I’ll give you hell and consequences for trying.

The Rev wrinkled his nose and hissed when Christ put on the alcohol on his wounds and muttered a bunch of curses. Synyster on the other hand just closed and squeezed his eyes from being tired. Being possessed took most of his energy.

Shadows spoke, “We have to guard Harlot and be with her at all times now. She needs all the protection from us. We can’t let Lucifer near her at all.”

“Whoa, hold on, Harlot? That’s her? You actually found her?” The Rev asked.

“Yeah, Synyster was the one who found her,” Shadows nodded.

“I fucking saw her in the grocery store! I covered her from all the boxes of cereal and cookies falling on top of her,” The Rev said surprised.

“You saw her before? I didn’t know it was her either. You know I always play with every girl’s mind, so I didn’t think she was the Harlot. But I did play with her mind, that is until Synyster brought her in,” Shadows explained.

“After I got out of the store, I was walking around. You know those tiny ass ally ways that are between buildings?” The Rev asked.

Everyone in the room nodded and listened intently.

The Rev continued, “Well, as I was walking by, that fucker, Lucian, hit me in the head with some metal pipe, but not hard enough to knock me off my senses. We fought but then he casted some sort of spell and sent the both of us to Hell. That’s how I ended up there, being tortured for answers. Lucifer casted the Glamour and Protection spell on Lucian, making him look exactly like me. But I see that Lucian has failed to be me. His feelings and emotions for Harlot will always remain since they were together. I think that Lucian was supposed to protect her from us. But what I don’t understand is that, how could Lucian be summoned?”

“Lucifer. My conclusion is that Lucas must have been a human. Lucifer needed someone who had a close bond with her. And that was Lucas. Lucian was summoned because of me. In order for Lucian to be summoned, Lucas needed to die. Like I said before, at that time, I didn’t know that Autumn was Harlot. I mean, I did know that Harlot was her real name but I didn’t know Harlot was the Harlot. In the book, it said that she was to roam the streets as a prostitute, that she was a Harlot. I didn’t know that the Harlot was named as Harlot. So it was my fault for messing with Harlot and having her kill her boyfriend,” Shadows explained as he came in conclusion with everything.

“Which reminds me. How the fuck did you get ba-,” Shadows was cut off by a shrilling, ear piercing scream. Never has there been a scream so loud.

It echoed through the whole house and everyone just stared at each other.

Shadows and The Rev looked at each other at the same time and were taken to see a glimpse of some sort of flashback.

Both of them saw blood and pieces of mirror.

“Something is wrong with Harlot,” Shadows spoke. Shadows sprang into action and ran towards the second Master Bedroom.
