     "Timothy what are you doing?! You're going to get killed!" Stella cried from behind as Ariel grabbed her hand to run away and hide.

"Some sacrifices have to be made." Timothy whispered to himself. He stood before The Dark Lord himself and watched as he bends down closer to him.

"Well well well, someone has the courage to face me huh?" Satan let out a deep chuckle.

"You need to leave us alone. I mean it. Do you know how much damage you caused to almost everyone?" Tim asked.

Satan stood back a bit, thought for a moment, and said, "I do, I just don't care."

"Let Jess go."

"Or what?"

Timothy stopped. He didn't think this through, he knew he's risking his life right there. But he didn't care, he was aware of the consequences.

Timmy was about to speak when Manny, Jess, Sam, Fiona, and Dominick ran outside from inside the castle and stopped dead in their tracks.

"Timothy what the fuck are you doing?" Manny whispered to himself. Sam motioned Fiona to take Dominick somewhere safe. Jess stood there, frozen, shocked that Tim was facing Satan by himself. She had a feeling that she needed to do something.

"Timothy stay away from him!" Jess shouted from the top of her lungs. Both Timothy and The Dark Lord turned and saw Jess standing there.

Satan stared into Jess' eyes, giving her the chills.
He then turned back to face Timothy and pull out a black dagger.

Jess noticed the dagger and yelled Timothy to run, but he didn't move.

Satan impaled the dagger through Timothy's chest, piercing his heart.

Jess stood there, eyes wide open, mouth dropped to the floor.

She let out an ear piercing scream that echoed the entire realm as she watched Timothy's lifeless body collapsed onto the ground.

Jess ran full speed towards Satan, but he was quick to swat her out of the way. She crashed onto the stone wall that borders the castle.

"Jess!" Ariel cried from a distance, but covered her mouth since she gave off her position. Satan then turned around and locked eyes with the girl, and began to walk towards her.

Ariel quickly got up and ran away from the situation.

Jess' POV
Fuck that hurts soo bad. I opened my eyes and my vision was blurry. Damn I hit my head hard. Wait, where the fuck is Satan?

I tried getting up, but my whole body hurts so badly I could barely move. I've been beaten up so badly, so many times, I feel weak. I can't do it, I want to give up. I've never felt so weak and damaged in my entire shitty life.

I rested my head against the wall, taking a few breaths. My vision was starting to come back and I saw Timothy's body on the ground in his puddle of blood.

I frantically crawled towards him and looked down. His eyes were still open. I cussed under my breath.
"Fuck Timothy, you're such an idiot." I said to myself as a tear falls freely down my cheek.

I looked around and I noticed I was all alone. Where did everyone go??

Ariel's POV
I ran full speed into a field in the middle of nowhere. Great, I'm screwed. I turned and saw The Dark Lord keeping up with me.

"Little girl, there's no where else to go. You're still going to run away from me?" His deep voiced echoed the entire field.

"Please, what do you want from me?" I broke down.

"I'm sure during your stay you were told that humans are not allowed in the fantasy realm. But since miss Jess Swift has failed miserably at her duty to exterminate you, guess I have to do it once and for all. Then, I'll have to kill her." He began to approach me quickly and I walked back, but tripped over a rock.

"Ariel! Run! I'll handle this." I looked around and saw Sam coming out of the dark with a book in one hand and she was dragging one of the guards by chains around their neck on the other.

I got up, dust myself off and ran up to her.

"What are you going to do?? Why do you have a guard chained up?" I asked her.

"I'm going to trap the devil." She said, looking at Satan standing about 10 feet from them.

"What?? What are you talking about?"

"Ariel, I don't have a lot of time, if I have to do this I have to do this right. Now go find the others, find Jess, make sure she's ok. And be careful. Go!" I nodded and ran away from the clearing.

Sam's POV
"Oh Samantha, one of the top students at the institute, master of witchcraft and necromancy. However, I knew there's something about you that smells trouble. You're just like Jess, mm?" Satan started to taunt me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

Damn, I'm really about to do something no one has ever done before.

This could end really good...or really bad...
