Mr Jones shot up from his head when he heard the loud noises, his body had recovered and the man got up from the bed. Half panicked and angry over the unnecessary yelling he stormed towards the kitchen after following the noise.
"Why the hell are you two yelling like illiterates!?"
He shouted equally and ironically, as he approached them. Mr Jones became stunned to see his son hovering over Malcolm's body. Kayden was never seen in rage, the boy had immense patience and never lost his mind until his incubus side awakened.
"What the heck, Kayden!?"
He yelled upon seeing the long thorny legs coming out of Kayden's back. Mr Jones was unable to comprehend what to conclude from the horrific sight he just witnessed. It reminded him about his own past and the terrible deed he did to his own wife.
'No, this can't be. The curse can't transfer to Kayden. No, no. It was my sin, not his.'
The old man staggered a bit at the ingress of the kitchen, when his eyes shifted towards Malcolm. The tentacle was shot sharp into his mouth but somehow he was able to keep up with his senses. Malcolm stared at Jones while trying hard not to move his face, or else the tentacle would have actually split his face into two.
"Oh shit!"
He immediately dashed towards him and crouched on the floor, Malcolm coughed as blood oozed from his mouth. He was not in a position to be able to heal faster because Kayden's tentacle was still inside his mouth. However Kayden' gaze never left the helpless incubus underneath him.
"Malcolm, are….are you alright?"
Mr Jones tried to inquire about his chances of survival, because those tentacles were poisonous. It hindered his healing skills which resulted in higher chances of him dying. Kayden completely neglected his father's presence and shoved his tentacle further into his mouth.
Malcolm groaned in unbearable agony as a tear crawled down on his cheek. Mr Jones could not let his only son to commit a murder, however he was completely unaware of Jack's incident. The old man stood up from the floor and leaped towards Kayden to bring him back to senses.
"Kayden, stop!"
He shouted anxiously at him when an invisible force field appeared around Kayden. It prevented Jones from reaching him, Malcolm' cough resonated again which forced Kayden to apply pressure on him. Mr Jones became worried about him, whereas Medusa was sound asleep due to Kayden' intoxicated blood.
"I have to break this barrier, Kayden is clouded by rage. If I don't stop him he will kill Malcolm."
Mr Jones glanced at Malcolm who was laying nearly unconscious. The old man didn't want to disclose his darkest secret, but Malcolm's life mattered and he needed to be saved. Mr Jones headed towards Kayden and sat opposite to him while having Malcolm's body in between them.
He began to chant something which resulted in some sparks, they began to emerge from his torso and increased gradually. Meanwhile Malcolm had already fainted due to immense pain, which permitted Mr Jones to let his secret loose.
"Kayden, come to your senses!"
Jones shouted whereas Kayden became enraged and shoved his other tentacle into Malcolm's throat. His body moved a bit due to the force applied by Kayden's tentacles.
"No, I won't!"
Kayden yelled as the black smoke emerged from his body which coiled towards Malcolm's silhouette. Mr Jones whimpered as his muscles began to split open, multiple thorns popped out of his arms and back which were condensed and solid unlike Kayden's. His tentacles penetrated through the barrier and constantly hit it to shatter, whereas Kayden's yelling resonated in the kitchen.
"Pull your senses together, Kayden! What would your mother think to see you like this!? She didn't want his son to be a monster. Kayden!"
He shouted again and applied force with his own tentacles, which resulted in bleeding from his nose and eyes. Numerous small thorns pierced through his skin and appeared on his wrinkled face.
His words diverted Kayden's attention which provided Mr Jones a chance to rescue Malcolm. He reached for the nearby shattered glass vase and aimed it at Kayden's tentacle which had pinned Malcolm. It injured him and smoke emerged from his leg instead of blood. Kayden staggered and before he could attack back, Jones' tentacle hit him on the head knocking Kayden unconscious.
He fell over his back as the lethal spider legs vanished into a smoke. Mr Jones inhaled deeply with relief although his own body was visibly damaged in the process of stopping his son. However he stood up with a heavy breathing and sweat, orange sparks were still whirring around his silhouette as he knelt due to exhaustion.
"I have to hide Malcolm's body before Medusa wakes up. Oh, what have you done Kayden!? How can you give in to this demonic side of yours?"
The old man wiped off his face which was burning from every spot where the thorns had emerged earlier.
