Devin couldn't move, he couldn't speak could barely breathe as the other mutilated what was left of his body; carving out his beautiful scales fro, his shoulders and waist picking each and ever scaled from his hands and leaving the wounds open and bleeding/ No...no he hadn't used or abused Elijah's body, he wasn't a monster not like Cain, the others implication about Elijah being used. all but confirmed what he feared Cain had done to him.
But he was helpless he couldn't do anything, he couldn't scream he couldn't prevent this, all he could do was watch; he was forced to watch and endure everything that was happening to him. He shuddered as Cain took great pleasure in slicing new cuts on his body, the blade slicking through his arm easily like a hot knife through butter, before he went about mutilating what was left of his body that he was proud of; his red scales that he loved so much were gone, now littering the bottom of the shower in clumps of skin in the bathroom.
His wing...the last of his wings the one that had endured had been torn to shreds the bones broken in several places before it was torn out of his back leaving nothing but deep cuts and a gaping hole that was bleeding headily from his back and the pain was so intense; it hurt worse because he was paralysed his tail was skinned until it was raw and bleeding. no longer was it covered in fine reddish black fuzz.
Devin let out a croaked groan as he was tossed to one side and thrown to the ground blood smeared across the ground as he finally slid to a stop, his eyes looked at the other as Cain approached, but his eyesight was growing fuzzy; he;d lost so much blood he was surely going to pass out soon.

Cain felt the approaching energy and couldn't help but smile, the needle he had withdrawn from his person being plunged into the demon's throat; the hot liquid being shot into his body before the angel was out of reach. "Come, come my friend. We can't have you pass out just yet," he purred, the adrenaline shot being more than enough to keep the being awake; at least for a few minutes while he had some fun with Elijah as he came running down the stairs. The angel slowly stood and smiled up at the other half breed, one moment near the fallen demon and the next behind the newcomer, another needle being plunged into his throat.
Moments before hitting the door to the house, the order had been given, causing the demon to stop just short of the stairs leading down in to the basement, his feet unable to move from the spot he had been ordered to stay at. The angel hated doing such things, but there was no way Cain was going to find out about the creature that was so closely bound to his very being. Elijah hit the bottom step and didn't even bother looking where the other angel had disappeared to, his eyes growing wide when he saw the blood smear clean across the floor to the limp body at its end. "Devin!"
Elijah took one step and then another before he felt the sudden bite of something as it sank into his flesh, hand lifting to see what it was to find the air empty. His fingers brushed against his neck, coming away with a single pinprick of blood. What had that been? His vision blurred almost instantly and he staggered forward, arm bumping against the table before he slid to his knees. He heard it then, the gentle laughter moments before he felt those arms pull him back.
"So kind of you to join us, Little Eli."
The angel pushed away from the other and crawled towards the still form near the far wall, eyes swimming both with un-shed tears and whatever had been in the shot just now. "Devin...I'm sorry," he whispered, body growing hot as he grew nearer still to the demon. When those arms touched him again, Elijah's entire body pulsed, the shoulder that had been grabbed burning as he slapped the hand away. His face was flush suddenly, struggling to breathe as Cain neared him; almost playing a game of cat and mouse.
Cain couldn't help but laugh and kneel down behind the angel; hand slowly pulling the smaller form back against his body as fingers slid down the front of Elijah's coat, a smirk appearing as a sound never before heard by Devin slipped out of that innocent form. "Now, now. You don't have to be so quiet," he whispered, free hand moving to pull the angel's from his mouth where it had moved to stop any further sounds from slipping out. "You should have seen him earlier in the shower, beating away at himself. It really is a shame that he hasn't tasted you yet," Cain whispered against the angel's ear.
Elijah closed his eyes as he fought to keep his mouth shut, biting down on his lip hard enough to draw blood as he felt that cool hand slide up under his shirt to run against bare skin. The simple action brought another sound from him, the drug forcing noises from him that should not be heard from doing something so small. "Let..me go.." he managed to pant, moving to pull away when his hair was grabbed and neck forced at an odd angle.

The drug kept him awake, which was probably one of the others BIGGEST mistakes; he'd made a vow to protect the other, to get stronger, but every time he recovered or so to some semblance of strength Cain turned up and ruined everything; he still paralyzed but the effect was more to keep his eyes open more then anything, after all he was in so much pain it was hard to him to breath let along move.
A lesser demon would look away from what the other was going to do to the other, others would make themselves sleep if they could...but he couldn't, he had to watch what Cain was doing, he had to watch as the slime ball put his hands on Elijah; he let out a choked snarl which came out as a groan.
He couldn't let this happen; he'd made a promise hadn't he? He'd told the other he'd protect him from Cain, that he'd help the other kill him right!? How could he ever look at his mother in the face or stand by his fathers grave with any pride if he didn't do as he promised? He couldn't stand by and just let this happen.
He felt all of his anger all of his rage well up in him as he watched the others hands undressing Elijah his purples eyes shifted and turned pure white his body beginning to glow a dull red colour his clawed hands digging into the stone floor underneath him the cuffs around his neck and wrists that stopped his demonic magic rattled as his rage built and built until he felt like a volcano about to explode. Devin faintly remembered what he'd been taught about demons rising to be higher ranked to what they were born, it was through pure force of will alone that made them more powerful.
The paralysing spell the other places on him didn't break so much as SHATTER under the pressure of what was building inside of Devin; the cuffs and collar on his wrists and neck also shattered and a dark, demonic magic filled the room the flames in the fire place turning black and purple as the heat in the room raised considerably.
Slowly the other struggled to his feet, his horns which had been sawn clean off, had started to regrow the wounds that had been inflicted on him, stopped bleeding altogether as if frozen in time. "LET. GO OF HIM" He snarled.

The angel could no longer focus on anything, his vision blurring in and out as the drug began to pull him further and further into its grasp; another small sound escaping him when he felt the warmth of a breath wash in against his throat. His body was a pulsing thing, being held so tight against Cain made him hate himself even more as he tried to pull away yet found himself yearning for more. The stupid drug...He felt the power building, the house and everything within beginning to vibrate with the pressure as Devin slowly got to his feet. He felt those strong arms that had held him in place suddenly release him, and he collapsed to the floor, balling himself up into a tight knot, afraid to touch anything.
He felt the spell snap, the air within the basement suddenly too hard to breathe, and Cain knew he was in over his head. Those blue bright blue eyes turned to look upon the growing form as he stood from the floor, his arms releasing the other angel as he staggered to his feet. What...the hell was happening? Everything seemed to snap into place; the spell breaking, the demon's aura both changing in color and growing, and the basement's barrier within the very walls themselves beginning to shimmer as it fought to keep the growing energy contained. Never before had anything happened within its walls...The angel began to take careful steps back before he turned and ran for the door that would get him out.]
Elijah felt the movement, and knew what Cain was wanting to do, moments before he did. "Tatsu, move, the door," he whispered, not even moving from the spot he was on the floor. His voice, no matter how soft, would carry to that being. Almost as soon as his name was called, the demon disappeared from the top of the steps, reappearing near the door that he more than happily opened, those dark eyes flashing a dangerous crimson as he watched the angel step through and that look of horror wash over his face as he tumbled forward into the growing fires below. He heard it then, the beginning of a scream moments before the door was closed and Tatsu leaned in against the dark wood. It would take a while, and the angel would either die in that hell hole, or somehow manage to make his way back out. At least he had known when to make a run for it for now the very house they were in was struggling to even stay standing, the amount of energy swirling within it's walls making the building groan on the very foundations themselves. "Control it Devin or you kill us all!"

Devin snarled at Cain and took a step forward at he threatened to tear the other apart, when he fled Devin didn't follow, he didn't really have the ability to wield this much power and move around, especially when eh was so injured he could barely stand. As soon as the other was gone he started to calm down, the told himself Elijah was safe, Cain was gone, that it was okay, and slowly the dark bower that built up in him evaporated, the temperature in the house cooled and the wards held.
The flames in the fireplace turned back to normal and Devin with a triumphant smile, collapsed back into his pool of blood, unconscious and barely breathing, his wounds which had stopped bleeding memorially were back to gushing blood at a rapid pace; he;d done as he;d promised and spared Elijah from being abused, and protected him from Cain.
Feeling at peace with himself his breathing hitched and slowed until he almsot stopped breathing altogether.

The demon moved in to stand over his master, kneeling to protect him should the other not be able to control that which he had unleashed, hands moving as if to touch Elijah, but froze when the angel moved out of reach. It would go unnoticed if one was not looking, but Tatsu had been, and he felt his chest tighten. When was the last time this had come to pass..?
Elijah stayed in that tight ball, body shaking as he fought the feeling within his very skin. He felt that warmth nearing him and rolled away to slam his back into the table leg, the sudden pain clearing his thoughts for but a few moments before the burning fire coursed through his body again. He saw the demon collapse and forced himself to move, sliding through the growing puddle of blood as he felt the barriers begin to solidify again. Hands lifting, he dared not touch the still form before him, feeling the entire house almost draw a breath as it swallowed the dying power. Elijah called to that dark energy, willing it to mix with his own as he passed a hand over the more extensive wounds that seemed to be causing the most blood loss. His eyes were almost blind to his actions, the power seeking the holes for him before his hands even passed over the gushing wounds. All he willed it to do was stop the bleeding, but even as he did that he heard the faint beating slow and a shuddering breath come from the demon.
"No, you will not leave now. You are still hurt," he yelled, pale eyes pulsing as he swallowed even more of the energy and thrust it into the being so still. The blood was cooling in his pants by now, the fabric soaking it up off the floor as he fought to keep it all contained. "Devin!" Elijah was beyond thinking now, just trying to stop that body from going silent was all he could do. Bringing his own wrist to his mouth, the angel bit down, sharp canines cutting through the flesh to draw blood in a hot wave into his mouth. Without a second thought, he leaned down and brought his lips in against Devin's, forcing them open with a quick tongue before the blood was forced into the demon's mouth. Only when it had all left his did the angel sit up, the back of his hand shaking as it was brought to his mouth, rubbing at the line of blood that had managed to slip from the corner of his mouth. "Don't you give up on me.."

For a long moment Devin was sure he truly was dead.
He had slipped into darkness, the sound of his own heart beat had faded away to silence, and all there was left was darkness and quiet, it was comforting really, relaxing, peaceful even; after so much struggle, so much pain and rage he could finally rest...right?"
"No, you will not leave now. You are still hurt,"
Wait who;s voice what that? it sounded familiar but...why was it here? He didn't want to hear any noise, he didn't want to hear what the voice was saying; he was tired of noise, of death and blood and fighting, he just wanted to sleep forever in the comfort of the darkness, he just wanted to sleep...
"Devin!"
The voice was back again, cleared this time, sharper and much louder. The desperation in that voice made him pause; it was so familiar but his head felt so foggy...he couldn't place it. Then slowly he felt something a familair wamth and energy that spread through him making everything seem clearer more focused...Elijah! That was Elijah calling for him, and this energy was familiar to him it was like the other weas giving back his own life force.
Then something hot slide down his throat and he felt his heart beat flutter back to life thumping slowly in his chest as he realized if he didn't fight the darkness he'd die and all Elijah's efforts would be for nothing.
"Don't you give up on me.."
No...he couldn't give up could he? Cain still lived and he still have a damned job to do...one day he;d rest...but not today...
---
Devin jolted awake gasping to breath before he rolled onto his side and started to cough heavily as he was brought back from the brink of death; this time has been closer, much much closer to the brink than before; it was only being reminded of the promise he'd made that even made him wake up "...C-cutting it a little close aren't you?" He croaked as he slumped back to the floor his body shuddering as his brain caught up to the fact he was in absolute agony, a feeling he was starting to get used to.

Those few seconds seemed to stretch on for so much longer than they really had, the angel wanting more than anything to have Devin live. Just live, and stay well long enough. Then he can leave. So what if Cain came back for him. He was not going to keep putting this being through so much. This negotiation process was taking far longer than need be, and the fact that Cain had come like he had....it was as if they had given up on trying to get what they wanted in exchange for the demon and was ready to just kill him yet...Yet this creature had been able to protect him, despite the pain he was in, to get that angel to leave...Just what had happened? He had felt it, but was it really Devin? Where had that power come from?
The sudden movement from the demon caused Elijah to jump, making a small sound before he heard those soft words spoken. Those few words alone let him know how close things had really gotten, and it scared him. They couldn't stay here....Hand lifting, he slapped the demon across the face, his own flush as the energy along with the drug continued to move within his small body. It wouldn't disappear immediately, but the edge had definitely been taken off."Don't you scare me like that again," he whispered, sitting back down again in the pool of blood that had all come from the demon. His eyes were glassy, forcing them open more to not let the tears spill down his face. "Now who is going to have to clean this place up again? Why do I feel like this is déjà-vu all over again."

Devin groaned as he slowly sat himself up; he was still quite a mess. raking a hand through his hair he was pleased to find that his horns had grown back a little so they were sharp little points; no where near as big as they could have been but it was better then that they had been before.
The slap surprised him but didn't really hurt but add that on top of all the other pain it got its point across "Ow! The hell was that for!?" He groaned softly as he pressed a clawed hand to his cheek, before he blinked softly at the others expression and he realized the other had been terrified he really would die "...tsk...your the only reason came back from the brink at all" He said softly "I still have a promise to keep remember?" He said softly "We'll deal with it later just...uh...dont go in the bathroom" He said softly as he gave Tatsu a look to hide any and all evidence of what was left of his scales and wing, as he reached out and wiped the others tears away with his hand "Come on don;t cry for me, you'll make me feel even worse" He sighed.

The demon saw the look and waited a moment or two before he went into the bathroom and closed the door silently, the sound of running water echoing in the tiled room moments later. 'Do not leave his side.'
His hand came back to be balled up against his own chest, the skin tingling slightly where it had come in contact with the demon's face; gaze turning away briefly when the question was asked. Did he really just ask something like that? Elijah shook his head, about to answer when that pale hand reached for him again. Like any other time, the angel flinched, eyes slamming shut which made the tears slide down his face in hot trails. When the touch turned gentle, the being opened his eyes again and managed a sad smile before he reached up to touch the hand against his face. "What are you talking about, I just got your blood in my eyes. It was everywhere," he muttered, free hand moving to rub at his eyes while the other tightened its grip, holding Devin's hand against his cheek. Little did Devin know, aside from family and Tatsu, no one voluntarily touched Elijah. They would go out of their way to avoid him at all costs, but never to purposefully come in contact with him. The small action alone made the angel smile.

Devin chuckled a little at the others excuse for his tears; it was cute and a little amusing, but at the same time a little heart breaking how he tried so hard to hide or to brush off why he was crying in the first place, even though it was obvious why the other was really upset. Devin to his credit decided to just go along with it "Ah see...well suppose should apologise for that huh?" He said with a weak smile; he was exhausted; far more drained then usual, probably because he;d spent all his energy trying to scare the ever loving crap out of Cain.
He let the other press his face into his hand his thumb stroking over the angels tear stained cheeks gently, slowly, he managed to shuffle closer and slumped most of his body weight against the wall as he yawned; he felt sleepy; Elijah had closed up the worst wounds where Cain had carved out his scales and torn out his other wing (Things he hoped the other wouldn't notice until much later) but he'd still lost a ton of blood making him very sleepy. "Hey Eli...m' cold" He mumbled softly as his eyes drooped and became half lidded from sleep.

Slowly and very reluctantly, the angel released the hand from his hold and sat up a bit more, the words spoken making the smile he had showing let a little light into those pale eyes. "You can apologize later, idiot," he mumbled, hands moving to hold the demon up slightly before he glanced over his shoulder. As if on queue, the demon came out of the bathroom and moved to kneel next to the pair, crimson eyes looking to his master. The angel didn't say anything, just watched the other for several moments in silence before they were left alone again. There was noise coming from the bedroom, but Elijah didn't take his eyes from the being settling in against the wall.
"Then sleep..The worst has passed. I'll move us closer to the fire," he whispered, slowly getting to his feet, using the table for help a moment before he felt his feet leave the floor. Making a small sound, Elijah huffed just a bit before he was carried over and laid down on the floor next to the fire. The mattress had been taken out of the room and brought to be put near the fire without words spoken, and the angel moved blankets around while he waited for Tatsu to carry the other over.
Putting his back to the rest of the room, the being turned onto his right side and made plenty of room as Tatsu picked the demon up and carefully brought him over, trying not to move him too much and reopen anything that may bleed more. That would just cause even more of a mess but cause his master to worry even more. Only when Devin had been laid down did the angel carefully pull the covers up around the still figure. "Sleep. You will get warm soon," he whispered, the fire slowly coming back to life as more wood was added to the smoldering embers that had managed to stay alive through the entire ordeal that had happened since they had gotten up earlier in the evening.

Devin have the other a faint smile before he let out a yawn, "Mhmm okay" He said, eventually he passed out as Tatsu helped him to lie down on the mattress in front of the fire; the warmth of the fire and the comfort of the mattress had him quietly snoring within minutes.
Without the collar or the cuffs restricting his abilities his wounds began healing at a much faster rate, the scales that had been torn off slowly began to regrow as the skin healed over and regenerated, the tail that had been sliced up by Cain, began to knit itself back together and began re-growing tufts of fur, the horns that had started to grow in Devin's head continued to grow but at a slow rate that you didn't notice at first, the wings however were beyond saving, and the wounds Cain made simply closed up and healed the empty space where they once had been.
When Devin woke up it was late the next morning and he tried to sit up tiredly now even more hungry than he had been before, not to mention he was craving sex again.

Only when the blanket was secure enough around the demon did Elijah slowly settle down himself; his right arm sliding underneath the many pillows that had been gathered before he slid in against the other. So what if everything for messed all to hell. They could always get more...A pale hand reached out to gently run through the being's hair as it slowly grew back, those colorless eyes slowly fluttering open and closed as he fought not to fall asleep just yet. His own body temperature grew the longer he was near the fireplace, giving a little added warmth around Devin as he slept.
It wasn't until several hours later that Elijah found himself asleep, the dreamless sleep that he had been wanting for a while now welcoming him. He was floating almost in the dark waters, the unbelievable warmth seeming to engulf him at times, yet he never needed to breathe. Hands opening, he ran fingertips along the surface of the water and lifted the limb above him, slight confusion appearing as the nearly black liquid slowly dripped down his hand and onto his chest. That pale gaze followed the droplet to its final resting point, breath stopping when he saw that it was not black, but a deep, deep red. The water was suddenly no longer thin, but a thicker material and trying to drown him; pull him into the abyss below its crimson surface.
The angel slowly turned onto his back as the dream fought to pull him under, the shirt that had been pulled open the night before by Cain shuffled in disarray around his sleeping form. Body bare to the open air within the basement, Elijah shivered, lips parting as a small sound escaped him, for the dream had changed yet again. It was no longer the bloody waters itself trying to pull him under, but a being lurking just below that last ray of light that penetrated into the waters he had been floating in; the reflection of pale blue eyes being the only thing staring up at him from the never-ending depths below.
The hand that had fallen from the demon's hair had come to rest against his chest as the night had worn on, and now it came to rest on his thigh when Devin sat up, those pale fingers curling into what fabric had collected in his lap like it was the last anchor on Earth. To let go would mean to fall deep below the surface, to never be free again.

At first Devin had no clue where he was, after sleeping so deeply he was at first, confused to where he was or why he was lying by the fireplace. His brain eventually woke up enough to remind him of what had happened the night previously with Cain and what he had done to save the other; honestly he didn't think he had the force of will to build up such power enough to scare the angel away at least. However because he used up so much energy he felt drained and sluggish, he was healing true but it;d take days for him to get back to his moral strength, right now he wanted to eat, maybe has sex (which probably wasn't going to happen unless possibly Tatsu volunteers) and then sleep until he wasn't feeling so sluggish.
Rubbing his eyes tiredly, the squeeze of someone's hand on his thigh jolted him out of his thoughts and he blinked confused as he looked to his side to see the angel that had brought him back from death seemed to be writhing and thrashing about like that, the small sound he made alarmed him just a bit and he was sure the other was having a nightmare; had he the energy to he would have used magic to ease the others dreams, but right now simply waking the other up would have to surface, especially seen as the others nails were starting to dig into him, covering his leg or not if the other gripped on any tighter he;d leave a bruise.
"Eli...hey Eijah wake up" He said shaking the others shoulder gently.
