Ray's eyes slowly opened, he flicked his gaze all around the room, taking in his surroundings.
“Glad to see your awake.” Mara smiled walking up to him.
“What did you do to me?” Ray growled, he tried to sit up but his whole body was chained to a metal table. “LET ME OUT!!” He yelled.
“Oh Ray.” Mara giggled. “You haven't changed one bit... and that's just the way I wanted you.” She grinned, Ray looked up at her and hissed reviling his sharp demonic fangs. “Sexy, you know how much I enjoy you when your rough.” She cackled.
“What did you do to my friends?” Ray asked.
“Nothing.” She replied honestly. “It's not them I want, it's not them I need.”
“You know I’ll never forgive you for what you did.”
“Oh you will.” Mara giggled. Ray growled, fighting against the chains. “Struggle all you want, they won't break.” Mara said turning her back on him and walking towards the door.
“Why did you do it?” Ray asked before she reached the door.
“Do what?” Mara asked turning back to him.
“Why did you leave?” Ray asked. “I thought it was because I wasn't good enough for you, but when you told me to go with you, it must have been something else.”
“I wanted you to come with me so I could drag you away from that Hell whore Lilith. I saw the way she looked at you and now look at the pair of ya!” Mara yelled. “It's disgusting, you know she'll give you a child, pity, you have made a great father.”
“Is that it? You left because of that?”
“Being a demon was never who I was.”
“What are you talking about?”
“All will become clear soon my love.” Mara giggled walking up closer to him. “But now, I think your ready.” She grinned.
“Ready for what?” Ray asked.
Mikey slowly walked down the stairs and into to the kitchen, he heard Sphinx humming to herself as she poured out another coffee.
“Cup number sixteen.” Mikey said sarcastically. Sphinx giggled and handed Mikey the hot cup.
“It's for you dumb ass, now go to bed, you look absolutely shattered.” She said.
“I am.” Mikey mumbled sitting on the sofa. “But I can't sleep.” Sphinx sighed and made another cup of coffee for herself.
“Gerard told me everything, I'm sorry Mikey I really didn't think that-” She gasped as she turned around to see Mikey passed out on the sofa and Pyro standing over him. “What did you do to him?!” Sphinx shouted clenching her fists.
“What? I didn't do anything,I just got here.” He said.
“Who are you?” Sphinx asked.
“My name is Pyro.” He said. “I need your help.” Sphinx laughed.
“What on Earth makes you think I'm going to help you?” She spat. “You tried to kill Mikey!”
“Please you have to listen to me-”
“What's all this shouting about?” Gerard asked walking into the room. “Pyro? What are you doing here? I thought the demon hunters got you.”
“They did.” Pyro said sorrowfully. “Mara tricked me, please Gerard she's got Inferno.”
“Okay, how the Hell do you two know each other?” Sphinx asked sounding annoyed.
“I've known the Way bros since they were Cambions.” Pyro said.
“Gerard, before you help him out I just thought you might want to know he tried to kill Mikey earlier on.” Sphinx said, Gerard looked up at Pyro staring deep into his eyes.
“Please Gerard, Mara's got Inferno, she told me if I helped her she would set her free.”
“And you listened to her?!” Gerard yelled.
“That's not the only reason I came here, she's got Ray too.”
