❝ Really? I’d like to have a dog but– we travel a lot. ❞
❝ Too many parties for one. Not to mention whatever else they might drag in,❞ Ky said. ❝ I might still have a family… for whatever it’s worth, but they hate my choice in style. ❞ It was something that he may have to fix eventually, but that was… something he was still working towards at any-rate.
❝ Hey, we’re gonna keep you safe. That’s what we do, my brother and I. Just trust me on this, okay. ❞ He smiles softly and takes a second to wonder if this will be enough to keep the demons away from this guy but honestly, he doesn’t really care. He needs to try. ❝ You didn’t tell me why they’re after you. ❞
Sam’s words rang in his head several times over. Especially the part about trusting the two of them. If this was any other situation, he would have handled this like he usually did ( pushing everything to the side and running ), but instead, Ky had no choice in the matter.
It was either turn himself in or run. There was no fighting with these guys, no way to burn them out.They just kept coming back. No way to just settle this with his fists; the way that things came easily for him.
Yet, to the question, he couldn’t help, but feel a slight amount of anxiety at answering. They were after him for a reason after-all and he was barely scratching the surface on understanding why.
Not just the reasons to why the Demons were after him, but rather, their motives. After-all, this had ended up starting due to the fact that someone ( basically Ky’lar ) couldn’t keep their nose out of where it shouldn’t have belonged.
❝ apparently, my father is a demon.❞ his lips then pursed into a thin-line, ❝ don’t believe it though.❞ ❝ I’m just….just… stuck in this mess.❞
“My family doesn’t like things such as dogs. Too messy… among other things.”
❝ It’ll work just fine, as long as you don’t lose it. ❞ And he tries not to think about how he’d lost one years ago that led to a gruesome situation he’d rather completely forget now–but it doesn’t matter, not with the tattoo in his chest keeping him safe. ❝ And there’s always a way to get some permanent protection. ❞
Losing it wouldn’t be done easily. Ky’lar knew fully well how he could keep track of things if he actually wanted to, ❝ I won’t. ❞ The words came out lower than he thought they did, but he didn’t seem to catch it, “I also doubt something permanent will work. They always come back… it’s just a matter of time.”
❝ You really think it will work? ❞ An assumption that could prove fatal if wrong. Ky’lar might not have known much, but he knew enough to doubt that it would solve his problems. Not to mention his father was still out there and that could make things complicated,
