《Soulmates/ Jolby》Chapter eleven

"Sam, if you don't stop fucking pacing I swear I'll hit you." Colby growls out to his best friend.
"Colbs, I can't help it! I'm nervous!" Sam defends himself.
Instead of arguing, Colby just sighs and sinks himself further into the couch. It's been a week since Sarah had disappeared, and things weren't making since to Colby. The possibilities of who took Sarah, are clouding Colby's mind and he can't stand it. Knowing that his niece is out there most likely being hurt, is killing Colby on the inside.
"Okay, explain again what happened? What did these people look like." Colby asked the roommates.
"Well, we heard Sarah scream, so we ran up to her room. When we all got up there, Sarah was being held back by a man; he looked like a normal guy, except for his eyes, his eyes were pitch black." Corey explained.
"Wait, you never told me that!" Colby says, annoyed.
"I just now remembered." Corey mumbles, scared his Alpha will get mad at him.
Colby only nods with a sigh. He excuses himself and goes back to his trusty creatures book.
'If something other than human took Sarah, I will figure it out with this book.' Colby thinks to himself.
Colby flips through page after page, looking for things that matched the description that Corey gave. He is just about to call it quits, and head downstairs, when he sees a picture of a woman with black eyes in the book. Curious, Colby looks more intently at the page in front of him.
'Creatures of Hell. Demons are looked at by humans as something that can't be real, but they are very much real. Many people think of demons as something that looks like a monster with red eyes, but Demons can be seen as anything. The main form they take are humans, you can detect them by their black eyes, not red.'
"This is all great, but how do I kill it?" Colby asks himself.
Colby flips the page over and finds what he's looking for.
'You can't exactly kill a Demon, because they are not living things, but you can detach them from their human body. If you kill the human body, the demon will make its way back to Hell. Be careful killing Demons, you don't want to get possessed.'
Colby picks the book up and carries it down the stairs to where everyone is still talking over what happened.
"It was a demon." Colby says to the group.
Colby can see the fear that rises in his pack, and he totally understand it.
"They can be killed, don't worry." Colby reassures them.
"Well, not them. More like the human they are using." He adds.
The group sit down with their Alpha and talk over how to find Sarah. They all agree that she can't be far, since Colby can still feel the bond really well.

"She has to be close. Aaron research if there are any abandoned buildings around the area, and the rest of you research places that have just been purchased." Colby demands.
"What are you going to do?" Kat asks from beside Sam.
"I'm going to make a phone call." Colby smirks.
•••
The door bell to their new house scares the group from their research. They watch as their Alpha walks his way over to the door with a smile on his face. They can all hear the door open, and then footsteps heading towards them. Who walks through the door way, shocks the group.
"You guys remember Uncle Elton, right?" Colby asks with a smile.
The man next to their Alpha has gotten even more muscular since they last saw him. The group give Elton hugs and welcomes, before its back to business.
"What are you doing here?" Corey asks.
"Well, I heard that your Alpha here was in need of a Hunter, so here I am." He replies with a smirk that only Elton can do.
"Hunter? You're a werewolf hunter?" Kat asks.
"Yes and no. I hunt supernatural creatures that need to be hunted. Ones that are killing, or in this case, kidnapping." He answers.
"I was hoping you could help us find where they're keeping Sarah." Colby says.
"Of course. I followed some last month to this building just a few miles down the road. There were a bunch of them there." Elton tells him.
Elton grimaces before adding, "It will be super dangerous in there, Colby."
"I know. That's why only me, you, and Sam are going." Colby replies, with a stone cold face.
The protests of the pack were overwhelming. Colby knew they all wanted to come, but he wasn't risking his whole pack. He definitely wasn't risking the life's of his two other girls, or his mate.
"I want you all to stay here! I'm not risking all of your life's. Sam is only getting to go because he is a vampire, and he can keep up with Elton and I." Colby yells over the others.
"If you go, I go." Jake says from the back of the group.
Colby looks at his mate, and can see the worry from a mile away. Knowing that he has caused his handsome mate to worry, adds on to the hurt he is feeling.
"No, Jake. I need you here. I need to know you're safe. I can't be out there worrying about your safely." Colby says while walking up to Jake.
Jake loos like he's about to protest when Colby puts his hand on Jake's face.
"I know you can protect yourself, but I still worry. That's what I do." Colby adds
"Well, I'll be worried about you." Jake whispers.
Colby can hear the others leave the room. After hearing this he pulls Jake closer to him.

"I'll come back to you, I promise. Even if I have to walk home with blood all over, I'll be back for you." Colby says.
Colby gives Jake a soft kiss on the lips before he pulls him closer for a hug.
"You better come back, you idiot." Jake mumbles into Colby's shirt.
Colby chuckles before pulling away, but not completely.
"I. Love. You." Colby says between kisses.
"I love you too, my Alpha. Now, go get our Sarah back." Jake smiles.
Colby smiles back at Jake and gives him another kiss before he heads into the other room to get Elton and Sam. When he walks in there, everyone turns to look at their Alpha.
"Let's go, boys." He smirks.
•••
"This fucking sucks, man." Sam says after being hit in the face with another branch.
"I though you said it was down the road, not through the fucking woods." He adds.
"Did I say that? I could have swore I told you the woods." Elton smirks back at Sam.
Colby chuckles at his friends banter while he steps over another huge log in the way.
Elton tells the two boys that they are just about there. A few minutes pass and they are in front of a terrifying building.
"That's huge." Colby mumbles to the other two.
They start their way, slowly, to the side of the building. When they get there they notice that it's overgrown.
"Maybe this is a good sign." Elton whispers.
They continue until they reach the back of the building. The back is just like the side, overgrown. The boys decide to climb in through a window.
"Let's see if they have a basement." Elton says when they get through the window.
•••
Sarah doesn't know what to think of the situation she's in. The people who took her have come in and hit her a few times, but other than that they haven't talked to her.
'I hope Daddy comes soon.' Sarah think to herself.
Sarah looks around the cold and dark cell she's in, and thinks about her family to feel warmer.
•••
Colby turns around to make sure the others are behind him before he walks down the creepy stairs to the basement. The stairs are narrow and look like they were built many years ago.
Elton is just about to say something when two demons come walking their way up the stairs. Colby and Sam go for the two monsters. Colby take the knife that he brought and stabs the guy in the chest, while Sam breaks the other guys neck.
"Good job, boys." Elton says with a smirk.
Before the trio could walk down another stair, they hear screaming from the bottom. Instantly, they all start to run down the stairs. When they get there the see lines and lines of cells, many still having people in them. Promising each other they would let all of these people out later, the boys head further in towards the screaming.
They reach the very last cell, and see Xepher being tortured. The boys kill the demons before they start asking how she got here.
"The rest of the vampires decided to sell me, because I was useless to them." She says while blood drips down her face.
"Why do they have so many people here ?" Elton asks.
"They use us as sacrifices." She answers.
The trio promise Xepher they will get her out of here, but head back up a little to see if Sarah is here. The boys split up to find Sarah, searching cell after cell.
Colby is starting to get tears in his eyes when he realizes that he's getting closer and closer to the top. Just before he feels like he's about to break down, a sweet voice calls his name. Colby turns to the very first cell to find little Sarah curled up in a ball. He breaks the door down, and calls for the others. Colby grabs his niece while telling her soothing things to calm her down.
"I want to go home, Uncle Colby." Sarah whispers.
"I know, baby. Daddy will be here in a second and we can leave." He says while playing with her dark blond hair.
A few seconds after Colby says this, Sam and Elton come running into the cell.
"Sarah!" Sam tells while running up to her.
Sam takes Sarah from Colby's hold, and rocks her. Colby can see Elton smiling slightly at the Father Daughter moment.
"I think we should let those people out while they have their moment." Colby whispers to Elton.
The older man nods his head in agreement. The two men try to find something that will open all of the doors, and find it on a wall in the front of the room. Once they pull the lever, all of the doors open and about 50 people come out, including Xepher. The prisoners tell Colby that there is a back way out, and they can all go that way. Colby gathers everyone, and they make their way out of the basement safely.
•••
The face that Sarah made once she was officially home was amazing. The light in her eyes returned once she saw the rest of her family. They all have a group hug to celebrate the coming home of their princess.
"It's good to be home." Sarah says.
"Very good." Colby replies.
Everyone started to file into the living room, except Jake. Colby, being the worried boyfriend he is, stops to make sure he's okay.
"I'm fine, Colbs. I just want to ask you something." Jake says with an unreadable face.
"Anything, Jake." Colby replies.
Colby had no idea what to think of the question that came out of Jake's mouth.
"Would you marry me?" Jake asks while getting on his knees.
