Chapter:-23
Seth and Sammy worked together to find the cure for the curse, and Ash did that thing where he paced the room. Ray watched them all from where he had been sentenced to the couch. He was much more alert than earlier, but his body still felt weaker than it should.
“Are you certain there’s no way to reach Bright?” Ash asked. He spun his wedding band with his thumb in what was a definite habit.
“If anyone would know a way to reach him, I’m certain it would be you,” Seth reminded him. “Now, why don’t you fix some juice for Ray while Sammy and I finish working on this.” It wasn’t a bad suggestion.
Ray bit back a remark about being coddled. There was a child present and besides that, Brought wouldn’t be back for a few days yet to save him if he ticked off everyone else. Both Seth and Ash had a strong gift for passive aggressiveness when the situation called for it, and he did not want to be on the

"Why would she take you?""Mother is not happy about certain things and wanted to have some fun of his own," Ray replied dryly, not willing to get into the details right then.His chest ached. The scars running across his body burned fresh, and he dug his fingers into his knee to keep from touching them. Without looking up, he knew both Ash and Seth were staring at him. Sammy thankfully still had that children's tact that came from short attention spans and was hurriedly cleaning things up so that she could start doing something more fun. Seth began gathering more freshly made tonics and ointments and handing them to Ash along with instructions."We should relocate before he tracks me here, and you two...""Don't worry about us. We'll be in a safe place," Seth promised. "We'll return once Bright is here."Ray looked to Seth and Sammy. "I owe both of you so much."

There were seven cats on the bed which meant everyone was accounted for. They surrounded Ray, except for the spot claimed by Ash, who had not moved from Ray side since his nightmare. The young boy had finally fallen into a dreamless sleep, thanks to one particularly potent medicine Seth had given them. He had also given a strong warning to not use it more than necessary, saying that Ray would not be pleased with some of the side effects which could include minor hallucinations among other unpleasant but thankfully mild things. However, after the nightmare, Ash had deemed it necessary. It had taken surprisingly little effort to convince Ray of the same.Only once he was completely convinced that Ray would continue sleeping peacefully did Ash start getting ready for dinner. The events of the day were catching up to him, and Ash suddenly realized that he had not slept since well before he had ever gone out on the patrol that had led to his discovering Ray early that morning. He

"All you have to do is kill him. Prove your loyalty to me, and you and all yours will go free." Zen said as if he had not just asked the impossible of him.Zen is Ray stepbrother, his mother second and favourite son.Ray eyes darted to where his father and Jace were equally trapped. "I owe him, he is my father" he protested."Forget a little debt. I can give you more than he ever could." Zen stepped closer than him. The smirk on his face was unbearable."Hole new family"Ray bit back his anger as much as he could, knowing he was in a situation he could not easily win. "I already convinced the Night gang to join you. Is that not enough proof of my allegiance?""Don't be difficult. All you have to do is kill the man. Do it, and I'll give you everything. Refuse me again, and you won't live to deny me again.""I am not going to kill him."Bright scream. Raphael would remember that for longer than he did the feeling of a blade cutti

“And what would you like to talk about, Papa?” Ray asked with forced calm. The way Bright knowing eyes bore into him made him feel like a teenager again.“There are many things I would like to talk about. How you are really doing for one thing? I know you do not always enjoy discussing personal matters in front of others. Now that it’s only the two of us.”“And seven cats.”“And seven cats,” Bright admitted.“I’m fine,” Ray replied after a moment.“Hm…and how many times do you think you’ve had said that today? You have been missing for two years and during that time you have been tortured in a horribly brutal manner. No one would be fine after something like that.”“Maybe I’m not, but there’s nothing I can do about that right now other than just&

Ray fell asleep to Bright story and woke the next morning to Ash sitting in the nearby chair with his feet propped on the bed.“Where’s Papa?”“Good morning to you too. Bright is currently reselecting all the gurds on this place. He wanted to wait for you to wake up first, but his own paranoia got to him.”“He’s not good at just sitting around,” Ray confirmed.Ash sat up and stretched. He reached over to where a tray filled with bottles had been placed on the end table. “Medicine first.”Ray downed what was handed to him. “How long was I out?”“You made it a whole six hours this time,” Ash replied. “Shirt off, so I can redo your bandages.”“We could wait for Papa to come in here and do his by own and done thing.”“Except he needs to reserve all the time he can while Monika is out there, and I happen to be an e

Ray wasn’t ready. He found that out right in front of the door when his heart suddenly felt as if it had come back to life and was trying to jump right out of his chest. Bright was supporting him because his body was still refusing to fully cooperate. He was actually walking like the seventy plus years he was rather than the fifteen that he looked.“Small steps,” Bright whispered in his ear, and Ray was very glad that they were alone because he didn’t think he could stand anyone else seeing what a mess he had become. “I’m here. I can easily stop any problems that might occur, but we both know Ash would never risk your safety.”Ray released a long unnecessary breath. “It has been a long time since I have felt the like this, going outside by my own.”“I know.”Ray nodded. “I believe I am ready now.”“Then we will go.” Bright opened the door revealing

Ray got the brief summary of things even with Bright trying to gloss things over. "My darling boy, it's not something you should be worried about. Please allow me to handle this.""I just want to be informed.""It's better than him trying to sneak out to see for himself," Ash murmured.Bright sighed. "You're right."Ash bent down and kissed Bright. "I'm needed out there.""I will join you soon," Bright replied. "Stay safe, my Ash."Ash nodded and after a moment of hesitation reached over and squeezed Ray shoulder in a silent parting.Bright watched it all with amusement. "Do you mind it? I know we tease and joke, but-""He's the best relationship you've ever had, and if you were going to spend your life with anyone, I'm glad it's him.""And you don't mind that we consider you a part of our family?""I have had many years to adjust to the idea of you as my papa," Ray assured with a smile."And Ash?

“They’re retreating!” Bright could hear the shouts sound as the flood of demons began to peel back. His barriers had held in most places. They had even disintegrated a few of the men's who had made the first attempts through. However, there was only so much guns one person could control, and their energy had eventual given out. Then it had fallen to the combined team of White Dragon Gang, Black Dragon Gang, and other small gang to hold off the attacks.“I don’t see Monika,” Jace shouted.“She’s not here,” Bright replied. He had been searching for her throughout the fight, but she was nowhere to be found. Bright knew it was the only thing saving them at the moment. The battle had drained him, and he had to clutch to the wall to keep himself upright. His knees threatened to give out at any second, but he couldn’t rest. Not yet. Bright was too experienced to think the men's were retrea
