"So Viktor is part demon??" I asked, placing my hand on my forehead as I tried to digest all of the information I just got.
"Not really. He just has demon blood in him and it gives him destructive abilities," Landon replied.
I sighed, "They are going to come after me for killing Javier."
"But I killed Javier, they can come after me," Natasha stated and I looked at her.
"Wait, what??" Landon and Nathan exclaimed at the same time.
"Yes, she drove her hand into his chest. She hesitated, but I made her yank out his heart," I said, sighing deeply.
"If they know it's me, they'll come after me instead and I can't be killed," Natasha said, but I shook my head.
"I don't think you'll survive if he siphons the life out of you," I said and Landon nodded.
"We have to find a way to stop Pedro and bring Viktor back to his senses," Landon stated and Natasha was about to talk, but my phone rang out.
"Hold on." I reached into my pocket and I pulled out my phone. My eyes widened in surprise as I saw the caller ID and I looked up.
"What, who is it?" Nathan asked.
"Viktor. It's Viktor," I replied. Why was he calling me??
I sighed and hesitated for a while before accepting the call.
There was complete silence from the other end.
"Hello? Viktor, is that you?" I asked.
"Good evening. I believe I am speaking to the man responsible for the death of Javier RedWood." I heard a male voice that was unfamiliar and I looked up at Landon.
"It's his grandfather, Pedro," Landon whispered almost silently.
"Oh, hi, Mr. Cartel. I see that you made it back safely," Pedro said and I muttered a curse beneath my breath.
"What do you want??" I asked him.
"I assume that you know what that is," Pedro replied.
"You have to pay for what to did, and while I can attack you right where you are, it is not in my habit to let innocent people, Vampire, witch or beast, suffer from my ruthlessness," he continued and I sighed on the inside.
He was referring to the pack.
"So unless you want to see your entire pack destroyed and burnt to the ground, come to the old Kristal factory to receive the punishment for your action," Pedro threatened and I clenched my fists, gritting my teeth in anger.
What?? Was he fucking talking to me like h was some god I should be terrified of.
"You have 24 hours," Pedro added and before I could give a reply, he ended the call.
"Shit!" I threw my phone, but Natasha caught it in time before it could hit the floor, and she rolled her eyes.
"We have to meet him at the factory," Nathan said and I looked up at him, muttering a "what??"
"You heard him, he's going to attack the pack if you refuse to go to him yourself," Nathan stated and I scoffed.
"He can't possibly stand a chance against an entire pack of Werewolves."
"We don't know that," Natasha retorted.
"We have to go to him, but we also need to come up with a plan to defeat Viktor, or Rhazien, whatever," Nathan added.
"The only time he was successfully stopped was when......." Natasha paused and she faced Landon.
"The dagger," she and Landon said at the same time.
"What?! What dagger??" I asked, confused.
"The dagger the Witches used to bring Rhazien back to his senses," Natasha replied.
"He threw it into the forest that day, how are we going to find it?" Landon asked..
"We might have to find the coven those witches came from so we can ask them what kind of dagger it was, but we have just 24 hours," He added and I sighed again.
"Well I guess I have to pay another quick visit to the Petrova sisters."

I walked out of my room as I got dressed and ready to go out. Since Landon had an idea of what the dagger looks like and what it is supposed to do, he would be following I and Nathan to the Petrova sisters.
I felt my phone vibrate then ring in my pocket and I reached for it. It was Kara calling me.
God! Please don't tell me that there is any emergency at the office. We don't have much time again. It was already late last night so we had to wait till this morning to visit the Petrova Sisters.
I sighed and accepted the call.
"Kara, good morning, is everything alright?" I asked and I walked down the hallway wondering what the fuck was taking Landon and Nathan so much time.
"Yes, it's just that Mr. Stone hasn't been to work for two days now," Kara replied and I sighed in satisfaction.
"Yes, actually I...... He requested for a few days leave and I granted it, I'm sure Dustin is taking good care of things there," I replied.
"Yes. Alright, I just wanted to confirm."
"Later," I said and I ended the call, dropping my phone back in my pocket.
I looked up as Natasha walked out of her room.
"Good morning, are you leaving already?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, but I don't think Na-"
"I'm ready," Nathan said from down the hallway and Landon also stepped out of the room.
"Alright, we're leaving. Don't step out of the mansion till we get back," I said and Natasha rolled her eyes.
I glared at her.
"Fine. Just go," she replied and I nodded.
I looked up as the doors burst open suddenly and three people walked in.
One familiar face and two other people I haven't seen before.
If that was Luther, then the one with the dark countenance should be Rhazien and the third one should be Pedro.
What the heck! We should really start locking that door.
"You said we had 24 hours," I said, clenching my fists.
"I did?" Pedro grinned wickedly.
"Well, it must have skipped my mind."
