Out of Time

[Demonhunter]

Caleb dispatched another demon with a slash of his sword, cutting the creature diagonally in half. It gave a shriek before vanishing into nothingness. Caleb wiped blood off his cheek and glanced around, his serpent like eyes shifting back and forth as he looked for signs of any more. This was the third demon he had taken out already today and it was barely past noon. Attacks on innocent human weren't normally this common.

Grim looked around the dark, creepy, inn that him and his son were in. Grim had been abandoned by his parents at birth but found by a man, a warlock, and had been taken in. He'd grown up there his entire life but just the day before, while Grim and Ryder were out getting supplies, a mob of townsfolk had burned down the house and killed the Warlock, having been accused of causing a young girls death. So Grim and his son headed out of town that night and just left, going anywhere. They had found a tiny town only a few hours later and since his son was getting tired Grim had bought a night at the inn, despite how gross and rundown the place was. Now it was morning and he was trying to figure out what they should do.

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver looked at Claeb "Why are there so many today?" he asked taking deep breaths. HE held his swords in his hands and frowned talking a deep breath. He was tired, and they hadn't got much sleep in the last couple days. He hummed  and held onto his sword tighter. He rolled his neck and shifted into his large demon wolf form and looked around his eyes glowing a bright red. HE circled around Caleb looking up to him.
-----
Ryder pulled on his dads pants legs "Daddy, It is gross here, I want to go back home" he said his face soft but his words were serious. He sighed  and moved grabbing his jacket and tried to put it on but it got stuck. He whined as he tried to put it on more. He tried to be independent like his father wanted him to be but he was so young it was hard to be what his father wanted. He took a deep breath  and tired again still struggling.
-
Daniel sat in the trees watching, He knew the numbers of demons was rising steadily and he had no idea why. He has killed some recently and knew that others were killing as well, but he preferred to torture slowly, to get information out of them.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb shook his head "I don't know Oliver. It's not a good sign though, I can say that much. It's lunch time, let's go grab something to eat though." he said and shifted back to his human form. He poked his head out of the alley and looked both ways before emerging onto the Chicago street.

Grim moved from his seat and over to Ryder, moving his arm so it could slid into the jacket "I know. I told you we do not have a home now so we are going to have to get used to this. In fact, we should get moving soon."

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver shifted into his human form once more and want over standing close to him. He looked around and then at Caleb. "C-Can we go to that yummy bakery after words?" he asked softly his voice low and shy. He had a major sweet tooth, and always kept a stash of lollie pops with him, "Pwease, I will love you forever" he begged opening his eyes wide and looking adorable.
-
Ryder sighed and looked down accepting the held. "I am sorry I couldn't do it" he mumbled and then looked up to him again. " HE then toddled to his combat boots, and pulled them on. He bounced and looked over to him  and grabbed his bag. "I found you a apple, your favwite" he said and stumbled over his untied shoes over to him smiling.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb rolled his eyes but an amused smirk was on his lips "How'd I end up friends with the one demon who used the puppy face, and for sweets of all things." he looked at him and said "You should go easy today, remember how long you were in the bathroom after gorging yourself last time?"

Grim looked at him son, a slightly surprised look in his eyes "Thank you Ryder." he said. He pulled his boots on as well. He looked at their small stack of coins and put them in the pouch and hooked it onto his belt.

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver blushed bright red. "Well I am only part demon, and mostly a shifter...and i turn into a wolf, like a dog" he said and giggled. He then whinned "It was a buffet in las vegas of course I was going to eat a lot" he said and pouted his skinny arms crossing over his small frame as he peeked at him through his lashes. "You also got stuck with a submissive demon, it is because I was a slave demon, breed to caiter to the higher class"
-
Ryder smiled happily and nodded. HE looked at him "Daddy can you tie my shoes?" he asked gently looking at him. HE was in the middle of learning to tie his shoes, but he liked when his father did it because he always suprised him, not much of one now, by jumping and hugging him tightly around his neck, because he liked the feeling of his arms, and he was scared now and could use the feeling of protection.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb nodded "I know man, I know your back story, mostly." which he did. He didn't know every detail but he did know most of Oliver's past. Oliver on the other hand new very little about Caleb's past. "Youre race is normally enslaved to other demon, higher up on the totem pole then my race." Oliver knew what kind of demon Caleb was, and the fact that for some strange reason caleb was a whole hell of a lot tougher then all the other demons of his race.

Grim looked down at Ryder and hesitated before nodding and kneeling down, tying the boys boots tight. He knew the boy was scared but he wasn't sure how to help him, or that he was even capable of doing things to help him. He honestly was still not even sure how he came to have this boy, he knew it was with a girl who died at child birth so he toke the responsibility of the boy but how he had managed to keep the kid alive this long and how the boy didn't avoid him. That he couldn't figure out.

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver giggled and nodded. He smiled and kissed the other "boys cheek sweetly and then pulled him across the street. "Where are we eating lunch?" he asked smiling. He may be small but he had a huge appetite, and loved to eat. He always ran though and exercised, to keep up his not muscular but fit body. He smiled and slowed when the reached the other side of the street and let go of his hand pushing then now into the pocket of his jacket, looking around slowly.
---
Ryder smiled softly and waited until he was done before he wrapped his small frame around his fathers much larger one. HE smiled "I wuv you daddy" he said and snuggled into the fear escaping him as he breathed in his fathers scent. He still didn't understand why his father was so distant, and he was usually punished for saying that he loved his father, but maybe since  they didn't have a home he would be aloud to say it. He hoped so, almost always his father didn't respond, or he told him to go to his room, but now he didn't have a room.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb smiled "Why don't we go to Heaven on Seven?" He asked, referring to the best Cajun place in the Chicago area and it sat right next to the park. He often wanted to go there. One thing Oliver did know was that a couple years ago Caleb had lived in New Orleans, helping some half demon boy learn his powers. Somehow it didn't go over well but Caleb still held the memories close, though if you asked him he'd say it didn't mean dirt and it'd been miserable, putting up with some kid named Nick.

Grim carefully hugged the boy and said "I know buddy." he actually picked the boy up. With one hand he held the boy and hte other he carefully pinned his cloak around his neck. He attached his scythe to his back and carried the boy out of the Inn. Telling himself it was to keep the boy from getting upset, and it'd be faster to carry him

[Dark Eevee]

"Okay, I haven't been their" he said and smiled widely bouncing on his toes. He wasn't very shy around Caleb, but he was around others, almost deathly shy. Noticing that the streets were getting more crowded it was more noticeable. He began to shrink back into himself and his eyes looked wide like a deer in headlights. He breathing grew rapid and he moved trying not to get bumped as the people walked the busy Chicago streets without a care in the world.
-
Ryder smiled gently and leaned into his chest. He looked out as his father walked looking around their surroundings. he nibbled on his small bottom lip and held his father. "Daddy, can't you get us a horse, like with your powers?" he asked shyly. He was unsure the extent of his fathers powers, and he himself really only knew how to make things levitate a few feet off the ground, however he was beginning to develop the ability to speak with animals.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb rested a hand, brotherly, on Oliver's shoulder "You're alright man." he opened the door and lead him up a couple of flights of stairs up to the resturaunt. He always found the fact it was on the third story weird but he loved this place, decked out in marti gra decore, beads hanging off the lights and masks on the wall. and behind the breakfast bar was a wall of nothing but different bottles of hot sauces. There was maybe three other people in the store.

Grim had been teaching his son a few things, he hadn't gotten the hang of them, but all of them were Elemental powers, like talking to animals, animal mimicry and that kind of thing. He wasn't teaching his son any of the black magic he knew so when the boy grew up he wouldn't be ran out of towns or hunted. "I can."

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver sighed and followed Caleb staying quite even as he climbed up the stairs. HE glanced around the small place and kept his face blank of emotion. He bit his lip and noticed a somewhat farmilar face in the both before he was gone. HE scrunched his face before shaking his head and looking back to his best friend.
-
Ryder sighed... "Daddy, I am sowwy I was born" he said quietly and shook out of his fathers arms landing sloppily on his feet. He kept walking next to him, not really expecting an answer from his father. His father would never say it to him directly, but ryder knew that his father didn't want him. "Y-You c-could b-bring me to the o-orphanage..." he said and sniffled a bit, not trying to, he just wished he could be better for his father.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb looked at him concerned "Is something wrong?"

Grim shook his head "Don't apologize for that. I know you're in my life for a reason, good or bad I don't know. Maybe one day you'll grow up and be my death, or maybe you'll save my life. I'm not sure but we'll find out eventually." he ruffled the boys hair

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver looked at him and shook his head "no" he said quietly and stood close to him. He bit his lip and waited for Caleb toove or sit or something. He stood close to him practically on top of him but you could barely feel him.
-
Ryder just stayed quiet trying to keep his sniffles quite so his father didn't yell at him for being a baby. He shivered a bit and looked around. He wanted to be home so he could play in his rooms and not bother his father.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb looked at him "We're okay, I promise." he looked up as a waitress came over and she showed them to a booth. Once she got their drink orders and left Caleb looked at Oliver worried.

Grim was silent as they continued to walk

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver looked at him "just someone was here and then was gone and he look familiar. " he said quietly and looked to him biting his lip. He ran a hands over his arms and he sighed looking at the menu. "I don't know it might just be my imagination" he said and took a deep breath. He bit at his lip looking at the menu now.
-
Ryder kicked a rock as he walked, or toddled since he stumbled over the terrain. He rubbed his eyes and follows his father holding onto his robe softly in his tiny hand so he didn't fall.
-
Daniel smirked as he walked around. He knew he had freaked out that person in the resteraunt who he knew was a demon along with his other friend.

[Demonhunter]

CAleb smiled "It's alright. It was probably nothing." he said. He didn't even pick his menu up, he knew exactly what he wanted.

Suddenly, there was a bright bright light surrounding each of them. And suddenly they were all in a dark Alley way, around everyone else who they didn't know. Oliver and Caleb were sitting on the ground now.

[Dark Eevee]

Oliver looked around confused and looked at the people their. He moved scraping away as he pressed up against the wall. He looked scared and very confused as he looked over the faces.
-
Ryder was clinging to his fathers leg hiding behind it his little chest rising and falling quickly as he was teleported with his father to this unknown land.
-
Daniel had his bow a narrow out since he had been hunting. "For fucks sake" he growled and looked at the others. "What the fuck did you do?" He asked frowning.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb glared at Daniel "I don't know who you are but I wouldn't accuse us of doing anything wrong when you don't even know who we are!" he told him. He stood and looked around confused. 

Grim looked around, growling as he tried to figure who these weirdly dressed people were. One hand went to his Scythe as his eyes raked back and forth. 

Suddenly, at the end of the alley stood a man in parchment colored robes, holding a staff.

[Dark Eevee]

Ryder watched his father and moved back a bit incas she was going to attack. He looked though tugging his fathers robe "daddy he is dressed normal" he said pointing. He spoke softly.
-
Daniel just rolled his eyes at the boy "I know who you two are. It is him I am worried about" he said growling as he turned his wings unfolding and his now grew longer and more regal. He growled lowly watching.
-
Oliver had shifted into his demon form and stood almost up to Caleb's middle. He growled and stood in a protective stance infring of his best friend.

[Demonhunter]

The man looked at them and said "Calm and be Still." and his words caused them all to relax. "I brought you all here, some from another world. I need your help, protecting this world."

[Dark Eevee]

Ryder looked at the strange man and held his fathers hand with his small one. He shifted. "Daddy I want to go back" he said quietly and glanced at the strange man. He whimpered and moved to hide behind his fathers large leg.
-
Oliver had shifted into a regular wolf and sat by Caleb watching closely.

[Demonhunter]

the man smiled softly and said "I know this is strange for all of you. but I need you five to help. I picked you each for your own abilities. Demons are on their way. I can't fight them all by myself, thousands of them are on their way. And at the head of the army.... The Malachai." 

Caleb flinched at the name and said "you're kidding me."

[Dark Eevee]

Ryder watched the man "daddy I am scared" he said quietly and bit into his lip. Little plants started to brow by his shuffling feet along with a patch of grass. He was gripping onto his fathers leg tightly.
-
Oliver looked up to Caleb and lapped at his hand to help him relax a little bit. He sat and nuzzled him.
-
Daniel squinted and looked over at the others "are you really him?" He asked his eyes glaring.

[Demonhunter]

Caleb looked at Daniel "Who are you referring to?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, his hand unconsciously playing with some of Oliver's fur

Grim rested a hand on his son's head "You are fine. Calm down."
