They found out dark creatures were a match against the demons, thus, the vampires and werewolves the council so despised became their helpers.

"You here, protect me!" Pharrell, one of the surviving council heads, dragged Williams to his front, using him as a shield against incoming demons.

The boy was brave but not when a demon two times taller than him was involved. As a hunter trained to the bones, he heeded the order of the Council head notwithstanding his foul attitude.

But when they were surrounded, Pharrell did a vanishing spell and left the boy to his fate. Williams knew his death was around the corner, but he still put on a brave front.

He expertly dodged the sword the gigantic demon swung at him multiple times. But then as a human, his strength failed him, and just when he was about to be finished, someone came in between them and pierced a sword right into his heart, the demon disintegrated into dust.

"Next time, try their sword against them," Trevor stretched out his hand for him to take.

"Thank you," Williams took his hand and stood up to his feet but what he never expected was for Trevour to punch him straight in the face.

"Ouch! What was that for?" he moaned in pain.

"I still haven't forgiven you for betraying me," Trevour told him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you - watch out!"

Trevor barely avoided the arrow that was directed to his path. With horror on his face, he turned around to discover where the weapon had come from, only to see...

"Chris, what are you doing?! " Williams tried to get in the way of the approaching man, the angry hunter hit him to the ground with his crossbow.

"All this wouldn't have happened if you had let us take out your sister on time. You failed and betrayed the Hunter's league and your punishment should be death," He fired an arrow straight at Trevor this time.

Trevour saw his life flash before his life, he was going to die for sure. Out of reflex, he squeezed his eyes shut waiting for the impact - which never came. Huh?

The boy opened his eyes, only to see his sister standing before him or rather, what was left of his sister - this monster standing here definitely wasn't his sister.

Demonic Lia caught the arrow swiftly, she examined it closely before lifting her head to see who fired it, "You," she said, "I know you,"

"Yeah," Chris sneered, "But you won't know me for long," He fired an arrow at her which she suspended in the air. However, Chris was relentless in his quest to exterminate her and kept firing and firing till he didn't even know when he ran out of arrows to shoot.

"Are you done?" She asked, amused at the turnout.

Chris gave her a fierce look, he wouldn't go down that easily. He wasn't a higher rank Hunter for nothing. So he dipped his hand in his pocket for a weapon to destroy her.

"My turn then," she gestured her hand, the suspended arrows moved.

Chris had just brought out a canister containing holy water to spray on her when she released all those arrows he had fired at her on him.

The sheer force alone dragged Chris back as he screamed, the arrows pinning him to the wall with a reverberating thud. His head hung low, dead.

Trevor couldn't believe his eyes, did she just save his life. Was his sister somehow still in there?

"Lia," Trevor took her hand, standing up to his feet as she tried to leave, "Sister," he whispered.

Demonic Lia turned around, gaze resting on his hand which prompted her to hiss at him, exposing really vicious jagged teeth.

Trevor flinched, taking his hands off at once.

She left.

"Where is she?" Daniel appeared less than a minute later.

Trevor pointed at the girl who grabbed a witch and tossed her to a demon beast that opened its extremely wide jaw, swallowing the individual whole.

"Good luck with that," Trevor wished him the best of luck, he was going to need it.

All Demonic Lia wanted was to see the witches pay for their crimes, and that was going fine until someone slammed his weight into her, they both fell.

"Wake up, Lia!" Daniel shook her, vigorously.

"You too?" She was vexed, " Why can't you people leave me alone?!" she roared, raised her hand to strike him but Daniel seized it, pining it back to the ground.

"You need to snap out of this!" He told her.

She laughed, "My work here is to see that every witch out here pays for their crime and I wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone that gets in my way," she swore.

"Oh please, just shut it" he was already tired of her apocalyptic speeches. If she wouldn't return to normal, he'd force her to return.

Daniel bent his head and kissed her forcefully. She was quite strong for a demon; struggling to be unrestricted but he wouldn't let her go nor give her the upper hand to the point of his veins bulging from the effort - evidence of the strive. His lips clung to hers like it was sugar. She stopped struggling yet her claws dug into his side, intentionally hurting him.

However, the pain made Daniel invade further, parting her tightly clenched lips and kissing her passionately and deeper with intensity till she was kissing him back. Daniel was determined to see this to the end, only pulling away when he sensed her stop resisting.

"Lia?" He was overjoyed when he saw her eyes return to normal.

But then, a malicious smirk appeared on her face, "Wrong choice,"

Oh no, he was tricked.

Before he could correct his mistake, Daniel was tossed in the air. While in mid-air, he saw the hideous beast open his mouth to swallow him - so this was how he was going to die.

But to his greatest surprise, the beast caught him with his teeth and tossed him to the ground like he was a bag of dirt. He heard something that sounded like a snort come from the beast as he walked away to continue his feast on the witches flesh.

Daniel was bewildered, he was not a fool to think that the beast had mercy on him, that had to be Lia's doing. If she was hell-bent on destroying him, why did she spare him? It was confusing except...

Quickly, he searched deep, and there it was, the bond between them, it was faint but it was something. She couldn't hurt them because they were mates; demons take their tradition seriously.

But then, he had to stop this. Even if Lia spared them, he had no idea how long that kindness would last if they keep getting in her way of destroying the witches. Something had to be done, there had to be a way of breaking that bond established by the dark witches. But how?

"Lia Darlington!"

Daniel turned at the sound of someone calling that name and so did everyone - Demonic Lia included.

Daniel's brows furrowed together when he saw that Asher was standing uncomfortably close to the crack in the ground which was currently a portal to hell. It glowed darkly, the heat enormous. He wondered what that foxy vampire was up to.

"I demand your audience!" he went ahead to declare openly.

"And my presence you shall have," she said, emerging from the crowd of people watching the ongoing drama - even the demons stopped fighting.

"What do you want from me, vampire?"

"I want to propose a treaty," Asher said.

"Tell me of it then,"

"My life in exchange for the witches," Asher proposed.

"You're crazy," Daniel tried to intervene but a demon held him back. Sabrina and the others were against it as well.

Demonic Lia laughed him to scorn, "What is your life worth against my revenge? Nothing,"

He smiled, "We'd see then,"

Immediately, Asher lurched backward, looking as if he wanted to fall into the crater when she reached out and caught him by the wrist, pulling him away.

"I might not be worth your revenge but I'm worth a lot to you," He had a victorious grin on his face.

"You dare to stop my revenge?" her countenance darkened and some markings appeared on her face.

Asher was shocked when a blackish goo wrapped around him, covering him from the sole of his feet to his shoulder. He struggled and applied his power but none of it worked.

"Let's see how you'd stop me now," she smirked and licked his face once more.

"You forgot about me!" Someone announced.

"Huh?" The crowd was astonished.

Demonic Lia whirled around to see the other one too.

"Goodbye, Lia," Daniel said, spread out his arms, and fell into the fiery crater he found at his side.

"No!" Lia screamed and tried to rush at him but Sabrina cast a spell that got in her way; she couldn't save him.

She was too late, Daniel was gone. A great silence enveloped the hall.

"No!!" Lia shouted with despair.

Immediately, all the demons and their beasts were pulled by an invisible force back into the crack which closed up instantly as if it had never been there.

Everyone watched as Lia dropped to her knees, tears filling her blues eyes, her lips trembled- the demon in her was gone.

Asher was relieved as soon as he was released from her demonic goo, rushed to her side, and enveloped her in a tight hug.

"Daniel!" She cried out.

"It's alright, Lia," he comforted him

"No, it's not okay. I want Daniel," she insisted, the sobs wracking her body.

"We'd find Daniel,"

"I want Daniel now!!!" Lia screamed with so much sorrow that the great council building collapsed instantly with the people in it.
