The demon said, “You will all die tonight. We have over thirty demons to your pitiful numbers. You puny werewolves will all die,” he spat at David. “We demons will have your mates and all the others that are here.”
The demon grabbed David and threw him at the wall, then banged his back with Rane on it against the other side of the wall. Using the wall as leverage, Rane pushed the rest of the way up and wrapped his arms around the demon’s neck, slicing his head off. He then pushed the demon’s body forward with his feet.
Letting David handle the rest, he ran, heading for the next level. Passing more demons and helping fight them, he stopped when he saw his mate commanding minions to freeze. A zombie came up to Kirby, and Rane glanced around, noticing that everyone was busy. He ran over to his mate, killing the zombie.
Kirby chanted “Stop, stop, freeze, freeze” over and over again. Faith and Kane were fighting a demon together only metres away from her, and Logan was killing as many minions as he could that were frozen. Rane helped Kirby again as another zombie came out of nowhere and grabbed her around the waist, which made her lose her concentration. The minions came out of their freeze, and they attacked. She kicked and punched and slashed at wings and cut heads off the minions, doing her best. Rane growled, trying to get the minions’ attention and to get them to turn to him.
Logan turned at his growl, yelling at him. “About fucking time. Kirby needs your help!”
He growled louder as he used his claws to rip wings and grab at minions, pulling their heads off, roaring when a demon came out of the elevator with more minions and went straight for Kirby. Running to get to them before they reached Kirby, he backflip-kicked to get where he needed to be.

Kirby was high on adrenaline. She knew in the back of her mind that when this was over she’d be in a shitload of pain and have one severe headache. She just couldn’t believe what she had done, and what she was doing—using her powers to help kill. She didn’t really care too much for the ugly creatures, but it still didn’t feel right using her powers like this.
The things she hated the most though were the zombies, as they had once been human, and when they grabbed her she hesitated, which cost her. When she heard Rane’s roar, she knew he had come to help her, and he would save her. He looked breathtakingly amazing, an avenging angel even in his half-changed form. The elevator doors opened and inside was the biggest demon she had ever seen. He was squished into the elevator, and when he finally unraveled himself he was easily seventeen to eighteen feet tall. She had no idea how he had even fit into the elevator, because she would swear that he was bigger than it was. She gulped as minions flew from the doors of the elevator somehow.
Faith came up beside her, swearing, and yelled over her back at Kane. “Hurry the fuck up.” Then she turned back to Kirby. “You have to focus and gain as much control of the minions as you can. The less minions there are, the easier it is for us to fight the demons.”
Kirby nodded, focusing on the new minions that were looking directly at her. These minions seemed to fight more, they didn’t stop when she said, “Stop, freeze, stop!”
Going into their heads further, she noticed a scary thing, this demon was onto her, he was counteracting her. Knowing her friends were in trouble and that what she was about to do was stupid, she did it anyway. Searching for the link the demon had to the minions, she found it and stopped the minions.
Logan killed as many as he could. He came from behind her and moved in front of her. She focused on the link, but the demon started to notice and grabbed the link, laughing into her head. She fought as he told her, “Come to me. Kill the wolves. Kill, kill, kill.”
Kirby screamed as the demon came closer and his long tail wrapped around her. Faith was trying to get around to the demon’s back. Rane and Kane were fighting the demon from the front as best as they could, even as minions flew at them, but the demon’s horns on his head were so big and he used them on Kane as much as he could. Faith was climbing up his back while Rane distracted him, slashing at him and trying to go for his heart.
Kirby struggled with the tail as they fought. Getting a good grip on her knife, she used it to chop the demon’s tail from around her waist. She yelled at her friends as she caught some threads of the demon’s thoughts. He was going to smash Faith against the elevator doors. Kirby yelled to try and get the demon to look at her, to get its attention, as she leaped through the minions, killing them and the connection. Kirby lost the demon’s train of thought, but she didn’t care as she now had his full attention. Rane freaked at that, roaring, finally getting at the demon’s heart as talons from the demon’s hands wrapped around Rane’s middle, trying to pull him away. Without thinking of the consequences, Kirby ran up, using her knife to slash at the demon’s arms. Her brother pulled her away as the demon’s head rolled by her.
