Chapter 58: The Fear of Death

The thunderstorm continues to flood the ground, and the water in the Pink River overflows onto the shore. Black magic particles appear in the water as more sadistic demon ghosts emerge into this world.

Tevin and Serenity stand waste deep in the water as the evil spirits confront them. They show the blood in their fangs from devouring the squirrels and rats in the forest.

Tevin feels Serenity grabbing hold of him. The loudness of her cry rings his ears, and the moisture of her tears stick to his cheek. A chilling sensation goes down his arms, legs, and spine. His heart feels like it's about to stop. I don't care if I die; I will protect Serenity.

Tevin swings his fist in a windmill motion. "Leave Serenity alone. Your fight is with me."

The evil ghosts boo and surround them, stretching their phantom black bodies.

As they get closer, Tevin quickly pushes Serenity into the water and gets in front of her. The demon ghost put their creepy thin hands around his body, lifting him into the sky. Their creepy fingers itch as they crawl down his back. "Let me go."

"Tevin!" Serenity cries.

The demon ghosts blow out thousands of black magic particles out them. The sadistic particles fizzle into a large oval-shaped dark black hole, and they drag him into it.

The black hole closes and disappears.

Tevin's body flips around in space as there is no gravity in the black hole. He sees no light and hears no sound as his body spins in the freezing atmosphere of darkness. He clinches his freckled cheeks, attempting to stop his teeth from chattering, and he wiggles his hands and feet, trying to get some warmth to his numb fingers and toes.

"Hello, is anyone here?" he asks.

"Hello, is anyone here?" his voice echoes back.

"I can't see anything. Help me!" he screams.

"I can't see anything. Help me!" the echo replies.

Where am I? Am I dead? Where are my mom and dad? What happened to Serenity and the others?

Tevin sees an immense set of dark red eyes blinking at him.

"Moho ha, ha, ha."

Tevin flinches. "Please don't kill me," he begs.

"Please don't kill me," his voice echoes back.

"I'm not going to kill you, Tevin Jenkins. Let me introduce myself. I am Spencer, The King of the Demon Ghosts."

"What are you going to do with me?" Tevin asks.

"What are you going to do with me?" the echo repeats him.

Spencer expands his face, stretching it across the black hole.

Tevin sees The Demon Ghost King's face is bigger than a skyscraper. "Aargh!"

"Aargh!" the echo screams.

Spencer blinks his gigantic eyes and grins, showing plasma covering his fangs. "Tevin Jenkins, I bet you're wondering how you're breathing in this black hole. It's because my magic allows you to breathe. For I am the real ruler of this evil world."

Tevin coughs from a whiff of blood on the Demon Ghost King's breath.

Spencer blinks again and vomits shiny, white powder out of his mouth. The powder shakes and spins into circles. It explodes, leaving an incense of charcoal as it forms a sculpture.
