Lucifer looked at the taunting eyes of his father.

"Well?" Kendrio said breaking deafening silence. "I'm waiting for an explanation!" 

Lucifer's jaw tensed with deep-seated anger as no words escaped his lips. Kendrio chuckled bitterly as he walked over to Lucifer.

Draven felt the lump in his throat harden as he looked at the burning mansion. 

"....Melissa..." He choked out as tears escaped his eyes. His heart threatened to escape the cage by which it was surrounded. Never in his whole life had he felt this vulnerable and frightened....not even for his family.

"I've been ruling this world for ages and you..." Kendrio pointed at Lucifer with rage building inside him. "You ruined everything for a witch!" Lucifer felt his rage flare up for the man whom he called his father. He ground his teeth as he slowly turned around only to glare at Kendrio. 

"This is what you have been doing? Playing hide and seek with these witches?" Kendrio scoffed. "Did you think I wouldn't find out? I must admit, Draven, having your father looking all around for you was a clever move."

Draven looked at Lucifer with the striped look and tensed muscles. His eyes screamed with rage, fury, and anger. 
"We'll leave, Father. Just let them go. They do not meddle with you." Lucifer growled. 

"Oh, Lucifer... an ant does not quarrel with an elephant.."
Draven noted a slight moment in Lucifer's hand behind his back and heard the low hum in the air. 

"These witches will burn to death and if I have to take you two down, I won't hesitate." Kendrio threatened. With Kendrio's attention exclusively on Draven, Lucifer ducked over Draven's side and grabbed Kendrio by his neck as he ran as fast as he could shoving Kendrio through the thick forest, far away from the Witch Mansion.

"Vampires!"

"And werewolves!" Victoria breathed out as she frantically turned around. 

"They are headed our way. We've to get out of here before this place turns into a bloody mess!" Angie panicked. Victoria rubbed her back as she tried to calm her down.

 
"Calm down Angelina, Lucifer and Draven would convince your father."

"No! Father is hard to convince and knowing that we have been helping witches behind his back, would be a bad idea!" Angelina paced around in worry and distress. 

"As much I hate Melissa, the love that our brothers feel for her should be our priority, don't you think?" Victoria tried to reason with her but seeing every last hope of saving witches going into the drain was far more than calming.

"And you think when all of this will be over, Lucifer and Draven won't fight....for her!" She snarled. Victoria gulped as she thought about what Angelina had said. She was right, there would be a war. Their love for Melissa was beyond this Universe and the same love was going to be their downfall. There would come a time when she had to choose one of them, and that time was dreaded. Neither one of them would accept rejection....at least not from Melissa.

Lucifer growled as he shoved Kendrio into another boulder. Draven snarled as he threw a fist before Kendrio caught his hand.

"So you chose witches over your kind" Kendrio smirked. "I'm so proud!"

He yanked Draven forward before kicking him in his guts sending him flying backward. Lucifer quickly dodged a fist from Kendrio but wasn't fast enough to duck over his other hand. Lucifer punched Kendrio in the face several times and elbowed him in the chest before shoving him to the ground.

His ears shot up as he heard voices in distance. He looked behind Draven to see a horde of vampires and werewolves headed their way.

"Lucifer!" Draven shouted.

"Get Angelina and Victoria somewhere safe!" Lucifer snarled as he ran past Kendrio to head for the vampires. Draven nodded as he ran towards the mansion.

Kendrio chuckled. "As if you can take them on your own." He said as he grabbed a large trunk of the tree and send it flying towards Lucifer. Lucifer ducked under the log and smash it at the vampires.

"I can sense them...I can feel them,” Melissa said worriedly as she moved her hands frantically. 

Victoria glanced at Melissa to see blood droplets dripping from her shoulder. Melissa moved her hands in the air as fire as wind surrounded her. Victoria snarled as she sensed a few vampires coming their way. 

"Angelina! Keep her safe!" Victoria growled as she ran outside the mansion towards the Vampires running her way.

"Hello, mates." She smirked sarcastically as he elbowed one in the chest sending him flying backward. 

"oi prógonoi mas voithoún."

Melissa chanted as other witches around her chanted after her. The wind like a fire surrounded them rose higher and higher almost about their heights.

Angelina looked fearfully at them as she looked over her shoulder to see Victoria fighting the vampires on her own. She wanted to help Victoria but at that time Melissa's life was far more important and that was unacceptable to her. 

"Melissa!" 

Angelina turned around abruptly as she heard the voice.

"Draven!" Angelina sprinted towards him as she analyzed his scar-filled face.

"Where is Lucifer?" She panicked as she saw blood dripping from his arm.

"He..he is fighting your father." Draven looked around as he saw Melissa performing a spell. His chest tightened as he looked at her bloody arms. 

"You are an abomination to our kind!" Draven felt his lungs tighten before he slowly turned around.

"Father." He breathed out and glanced at his terrifying face of Angelina. 

"Why I'm not surprised? You seemed to follow your Mother's path. Unpleasant and filthy." Draven's father spat in disgust as he looked past Draven.
