Dahlia didn't care that she was being cornered, she would rather be a distraction so that Hunter could possibly get Vincent's attention than get in the way entirely. She noticed how the monsters were getting more resistant to her magic, making her form more handheld weaponry, cutting them to bits as best as she could.

Andre was fighting his own battle farther away from them, the monsters being more like bears than the small blobs that he had started out fighting. He tried not to get angry that he heard Hunter in his head but when given the location of where they were, he bolted from his attackers and towards his cousins and beta. He Worked more on getting the monsters away from Dahlia, going back and forth from getting monsters from Dahlia and keeping them from messing with Hunter. He felt sickened at seeing this demon and what it had done to Vincent, but from the looks of things Dahlia was trusting Hunter to getting Vincent away from the bastard.

Said Demon was watching on with amusement at what was going on, still staying close to Vincent. The young witch could be heard trying to speak again in his delirious half conscious state, but he was in too much pain to get anything out. Octvaien was honestly surprised that Hunter had managed to get through the monsters and stand face to face with him. He moved in a blur though, having picked up Vincent. The young witch was barely draped in a blanket of sorts, blood and ink splashed here and there on his body. The demon looked to almost be laughing as it just let the boy hang limply in his arms, still trying to speak and struggle out of the man's hold.

"You wouldn't hurt me holding your precious little witch would you? You're all he's been sobbing about you know. Took me actually knocking him out to get him to stop saying your name. Just look at this brittle little frame, its the perfect host with all this magic. Aren't you Vincent?"

It had freed one of its hands from supporting Vincent to move the witch's face to stare up at the demon. Vincent couldn't help crying more, blood mixed in with the tears as he convulsed in the demon's arms. His body was reaching a breaking point, but the demon didn't seem to care as he was doing his best to use the witch as a shield against Hunter.

He was about to attack the demon when it picked Vincent up. He stopped of course and felt his eyes turn a bright green in clear anger. He just bared his fangs at the monster before looking at the little witch with pure sadness that this was happening. Vincent......what Andre said was a lie.....I didnt break up with you because I didnt want anything to do with you......I did it because he told me what had happened last time you were sick.......you need someone that can properly take care of you.....I was stupid and lost track of time when I should have been more worried about your health.....I love you Vincent.....I always will. he sent the message to the witch.

He then stepped closer to the demon, his claws crackling."Why don't you fight me head on you clear instead of hiding behind a witch." He hissed.

Vincent was bordering on falling entirely of consciousness again as the Demon held him up in his arms. the marks across his arms looked to start creeping up his shoulders and across his chest as Octavien was tapping into more and more of his magic. said demon didn't know what the look of sadness was for at the boy, but when the hissing voice was heard aloud after already hearing everything that Hunter was telepathically saying to its host, it could only grin.

"If you want to fight then let's fight, just hope you realize I wont feel any pain. Vincent takes every single hit for me either way."

Octavien had set the witch back on the throne, barely keeping the blanket draped over the brittle frame as it took a fighting stance. its hands gained long black claws, more in the mean of being spidery as he grinned like a madman. Dahlia and Andre suddenly couldn't see what was going on as a shield of sorts came over the ritual circle, the dome it created being like a oneway mirror, only it was on the inside that could see outside while dahlia and andre just saw their reflections. Dahlia started screaming at hunter again as she figured out something about the circle.
"If you can get Vincent out of that circle the demon wont be able to keep possession of him! Get him out of there!"
Said demon could only laugh at this, increasing the size of the monsters Andre and Dahlia were fighting to get them to shut up.

"Don't hold your breath pinky, wolf boy here can't even get over how much Pain i've put the kid through and its only just started!"

Octavien cackled at this before lunging at Hunter with his claws. Vincent was trying to start becoming more aware of what was going on, his mind only able to catch onto bits and pieces of what Hunter had been trying to say to him. weakly one could hear him force out "Hunter" over and over as he looked to be trying to force his magic back under his control. He wasn't really able to do much with the demon, but he was able to get the ink monsters to be rather weak and the dome over the circle to crack some. Octavien didn't like this at all and actually got Vincent to scream out in pain trying to get back control.

"Now look what you did, he's trying to get control back when he's better off with me driving this!"

The demon really looked mad now as it was more than ready to claw Hunter's face off.

Hunter heard what Dahlia said and looked over to Vincent for a moment before turning his attention on the monster. He knew he had to get Vincent out of here.....but how? He dodged the first attack, jumping to the right before actually using his speed to get around the demon and was in-front of Vincent. He quickly picked the witch up, holding him in his arms and was looking for a way out.

He charged throught the dome, barely making out and finally clawed his way to the outside and pushed Vincent out. He laid the weak witch on the ground."I'm sorry....." He whispered softly. The demon didnt have any control over Vincent but he knew that this wasnt over.

Octavien was growling now at the wolf not stilling or just taking the hint that this was just a bad idea before going wide eyed at Hunter managing to pick up Vincent. He screamed at seeing this and charged at the wolf, claws at the ready to snatch up his host when the wolf did the unthinkable. Both demon and witch screamed in pain as Vincent was removed from the circle, his body twisting in pain while the demon was more angry than hurting. The magic that Octavien had been using was clearly failing, the ink monsters the first to start crumbling.

"You stupid child! I WILL NOT GO OUT LIKE THIS!"

The demon then proceded to drag Hunter back into the circle with its claws, desperately hanging onto the little magic it had left to keep its body from falling apart into ink and blood.

As the ink monsters turned into puddles of harmless ink, Dahlia rushed over to where Hunter had placed vincent on the ground outside the circle. He was completely unconsious now as she scooped him up into her arms. Andre moved in on the fray to help hunter out as it managed to claw off one of the demon's hands.
"We can meet Vincent at the hospital later, let's just finish this bastard off already."
The demon honestly looked as if it were fighting to the last as it swung wildly at both wolves. Andre focused his thoughts at Hunter and explained that once they get the demon's body to fail they had to burn and dig up the circle to stop this from happening again.

Dahlia had taken Vincent straight to the hospital, his unmoving body alarming her. The marks had turned into burns of some kind, as his breathing was shallow and weak. He had been taken straight away by emergency, the older witch praying he'd be okay but from the looks of things was going to be in a coma or catatonic for a while.

Hunter hated seeing Vincent like this and was going to tell the witch that he loved him before he was pulled back into the dome. He growled and almost kicked the demon off him. Andre had come to the rescue and clawed the demons grasp off him. He heard what Andre said about how they were going to dispose of the demon and only nodded. He and Andre defeated the demon and he started to dig up the circle with the other wolf.

He didnt really speak to Andre, after everything that happen e wasn't sure if he even wanted o try and be friends or anything with Andre.

Andre noticed that without Vincent there the demon was powerless and went down without much fuss, though it seemed until this circle was destroyed it would still linger around some. He was rather silent when he started to dig up the circle, knowing that this possibly could have been prevented if he hadnt had been trying to separate the beta from the small witch. He wasn't surprised at the silence from the other, only talking after finally setting the dug up circle to burn.
"Go see him. I got this from here..."
He was still cold and indifferent in voice and expression but his eyes were saying he was sorry, still didnt like them together, but sorry this all happened.

Dahlia had been sitting with her brother as soon as they had gotten him set up in a private room. His burns had been treated and wrapped up and all the blood and ink cleaned away, leaving him looking as if he were asleep. He was hooked up to multiple IV drips and had an oxygen set up as well. He was just barely strong enough and stable enough to breathe without the help of machines, but he wasn't entirely out of the dark yet.

Hunter honestly didnt know what he could even say to the wolf as he continued to dig the circle but stopped once the thee said r could go an see him. "Thank you." He said and stopped running to the nearest hospital where Vincent was at. He found the room with ease. He was covered with blood, dirt and ink but didnt care. He sat down, keeping his distance from Vincent. "How is he?" He asked Dahlia softly.

"This is all my fault.....in so sorry." He whispered softly and hide his face in his hands and started sobbing.

Dahlia looked to have been crying herself, just watching her brother sleep and softly wheeze with each breath. He looked peaceful if you could get past the oxygen mask and IVs. She looked up at the sight of hunter, knowing now that the demon was gone at the sight of this. She stood up as she felt her heart reach out to the boy at the questions.
"They say he's not in a coma, just recovering from the burns. they dont know how long he's going to be like this though and that does worry me."
She couldn't help but hug the wolf as he started sobbing, letting a few of her own tears run down her face. She didn't see this as his fault at all, more Andre's with getting in the middle of something he had no right to.
"it's not your fault...None of this is your fault child...Look at me now, I want you to go home and get cleaned up then come right back here okay? I can't leave him until I know someone he trusts will be here in case he wakes up. I know he'll want to see you Hunter, just...don't beat yourself up over this when he needs you most."

Hearing that Vincent was probably going to be in a coma only upset him even more. He only sobbed even more and wished that he hadnt listen to Andre and just go see Dahlia before just deciding this without further investigation. He felt Dahlia hug him and try to console him and in all honesty it made him feel better about the whole situation. He just nodded and headed back home to get cleaned up and rushed back to the hospital.

He sat down in the chair closer to Vincents bed and gently grabbed his hand."please he okay." He said

Dahlia didn't like seeing the boys like this, none of them had earned to go through such a disaster, all because of her ignorant cousin. She was glad that Hunter had listened to her, watching him leave before putting all her attention back onto Vincent.

When Hunter came back, she let him sit close to the side of the bed, giving a bittersweet smile at seeing the young wolf take hold of the weak witch's hand. She stood behind hunter and set a hand on his shoulder, just to know she had his attention.
"I'm going to trust that when i'm not here that you will be here in case he wakes. I have to go take care of something but i will be in and out of here. Here's my number if he wakes up while i'm away."
She almost sounded normal and too calm all things considered but she had an Ashwood to punish for causing the chain of events that led to this situation. She was leaving Vincent in Hunter's care for the most part, honestly hoping that the witch would wake up soon.

Nearly two weeks had passed since Vincent had been possessed. His burns were healing nicely and with a little help from Dahlia's magic, there was going to be very little scarring left on his arms, shoulders, and chest. Dahlia had been in and out, usually staying at night even if she needed the proper sleep. Vincent was slowly looking to become responsive, but it was only ever in soft gurgles or managing to squeeze Hunter's hand when he was there. He seemed to get fussy every time Hunter wasn't by his side even though he wasn't waking up.

Hunter nodded to what Dahlia said and continued to stare down at Vincent with a small smile. Two weeks passed and Vincent certainly looked better, but he still didnt want up. He never once left Vincent's side, only to use the bathroom, bath and of course eat but he practically lived at the hospital and helped the nurses with whatever Vincent needed.

He wished that the witch would wake up soon. He always talked to Vincent and gave the others hand a squeezed back. He sigh softly and leaned down to kiss the witches forehead."I love you." He said

Dahlia wasn't going in for the day seeming to want to give the two boys privacy for once, though could also be factored in that it was nearly three in the morning and she wasn't allowed back.

Vincent hadn't been all that responsive today, but he had shown a reaction to being kissed at some point that day. it wasn't until hours later though, in the middle of the night that he seemed to start to stir. his expression looked to be one of pain for a moment before relaxing. very slowly his eyes started to open, the green orbs looking hazy and confused as to what was going on around them. He didn't seem to move around too much though as he whined, realizing his arms still hurt too much to move. he looked around the slightest before spotting Hunter. He looked happy for a moment before his eyes started to tear up and cry slightly.
"Hunter...I thought you...you didn't want to see me...?"
Vincent was happy and confused as to why he was even in the hospital right now but he squeezed Hunter's hand clearly not wanting the wolf to leave him at all.

He looked so tired, but he stayed up anyway because he wanted to make sure that Hunter was okay. He watched the witch till he saw him stirring but tried not to get to excited. But once the witches eyes open, he smiled with so muh happiness and heard what the witch said."Your cousin said that because he talked with me.....I thought it was st that you were with someone that could take better care of you......I should have been more careful.......you getting sick isn't a good thing and he convince me that you were better off without me." He said softly and squeeze his hand back before kissing his cheek.

Vincent couldn't help with crying more as he heard hunter explain exactly what had happened. His expression looked scared as he attempted to hold Hunter's hand with as much strength as he could allow while speaking.
"I felt terrible with-without you! he...he think i'm still...still six or something....but I'm not! I'm st-stronger now....please d-don't go ever again....please Hunter....hurts more when you're gone..."
Due to his catatonic state he had been in for the last 2 weeks his brain was struggling a little with what he was trying to say. He honestly had a headache right now but he was more focused on Hunter than anything else, making him ignore the pain for the most part. He had accepted the kiss with a bit of tears but he smiled from beneath the oxygen mask he had. This made him notice it and with his free hand, attempted to take it off. Even after everything he was still stubborn little vincent when it came to treatments, meaning he wanted out of that hospital now, starting with getting the oxygen mask off his face.
