lilly felt very uneasy and then she smelled bacon in the air and ran for the kitchen her mother was making bacon and eggs lilly's favorite " good morning john" she hugged john tightly en hugged her mother from behind since she was cooking

"Good morning mary" John sat at the table. "My dad and Lilly are takeing me to the carnival today. wanna come?"
Hunter sat next to John. "It'll be a good chance to catch up on what my boy's been up to" He smiled at John, and John gave Hunter a friendly pat on the back.

lilly thought for a moment she was angry at hunter but was not going to let it show she stared at her mother. Mary answered " sure if you do not mind grandma coming" Mary smiled at john

"Not at all" John said with a smile. Hunter also smiled "the more the merrier."

lilly wanted to punch hunter in the face but held that back she did not want to hit him in front of his son " mom is the food ready i am hungry as heck?"

Breakfast was served. Afterwards, they all headed for the carnival. John won at the ring toss. "Keen eyesight, just like your old man" Hunter said with a laugh.

lilly walked next to john she did not want to be near hunter even if it meant it was there last day together. she pretended to have fun and she put on a fake smile every once in a while

John noticed that something was bothering Lilly. He took her aside to have a word. "Lilly, is there something wrong?"

" yes but your father told me not to tell you and i am angry that he will not tell you" lilly began to cry

John took Lilly by the hand. "Tell me what, whats going on?" Hunter saw them and approached them both. "John, we have to get going, it's almost midnight, I'll expain on the way." Hunter told John everything as they all walked home. "But dad, isn't there some way you can get out of this?" John asked in a worried voice. "No he can not" Archlord appeard from te shadows. "It's midnight Hunter. Time to collect."

bella got in front of hunter " you can not do that he has a son for heaven's sake you can not be so cold hearted please don't do this make him pay some other way there must be something else..?"

Archlord used his power to cast Lilly aside. A chain sprang forth from his hand and wrapped around Hunter's neck. "On your knee's dog!" Archlord said. Hunter went into wolf form, but then he changed even more. He grew bigger, His fur turned pitch back, his eyes bright red, Long serated claws grew from his hands, and his fangs became huge. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some work for my pet to do." With that, Archlord and Hunter vanished. "Dad, no!" John tried to reach out to his father, but he was already gone.

lilly was knocked out and her arm was broken

John ran to Lilly. He picked her up and took her to the hospital. He waited for her to wake up.

lilly woke up " i want to see my step son now john , john where are you?"

"It's ok Lilly, I'm right here." John went to Lilly's side. "Lilly, we have to find a way to save my father. I just met him, and I'm not going to sit back and let him be a slave." Tears rolled down Johns's face.

Lilly hugged john " itts okay john we will get him back i swear to you"

John sat down. "When my dad explained everything, I wasn't mad at him. He was just trying to protect me in his own way. But why were you so mad at him?"

" because he knows how much it hurts me when my mom and dad leave sometimes i did not want you to go through what i do get it?"

"But your parents choose to leave you. My dad was kidnapped by a demon." John thought for awhile. "Can you think of any place where they might have gone? Like a hidden realm?"

" yes the fantasy realm in the back of my house " lilly hugged her step son with care

"Can you walk? We have to go there." John lifted Lilly out of the hospital bed.

"lets go " lilly was ready to do what ever

John helped Lilly to her feet. They left the hospital, and made their way towards the woods. They searched until they finaly found the entrance to the realm, and enterd.

Lilly held john's hand like a mother would her son " be careful john this place can be dangerous"
