Everyone on the team was injured, I had tons of scratches, Aella had some too, Erik's arm had been stabbed, and Loona sprained her ankle.
"Oh, I brought some Hell-fire with me. It works as a healer for us, it's straight from the fires of Hell. Might burn a bit, though."Aella smiled, handed a bottle full of a liquid-like fire to Erik, and another to Loona. Loona poured it on her ankle, it looked like it was healing a bit, but it might've taken awhile. Erik poured his in his stab-wound, and it began to close itself up.
"We should get going once that sets in, I've gotta save my sister."I took some of our food rations from my bag, when I say we were underprepared I mean it. We had-like- no food, none. We stole some from the demon-hags house, though, All she had were skulls and cookies. I bit into a cookie, taking a drink from the canteen I brought. Erik stood up, and Loona did the same. "I did nothing good back there- I'm sorry, guys."Loona mumbled, sounding sort of disapointed in her self.
"Hey, we all did basically nothing by those standards. We all shared a part in killing that witch."Aella patted her back, and I did the same. "Besides, you actually stabbed it with that steak knife- which took guts! And, of course, we can't forget about Ezra, who made me LEARN THAT I CAN TURN INTO AN OWL, CRAZY!"Erik smiled, I did the same.
"Ladies first."Erik smirked as we neared the gate, eyeing me. I shoved him, "Real orginal."I rolled my eyes. I went through the backyards gate, and then Loona, then Aella, then Erik, and we headed towards the surburan Utah streets to head to LA, so we could find Elisse. Loona limped when she walked, but she didn't seem to not be able to walk, Erik's harm had completely healed, and we all had a pretty up-beat attitude. What could possibly go wrong?
We were in Salt Lake City, on a highway. All of us were determined to finish our adventure, and save my sister. And yet, I felt a strange chill down my spine, everyone else seemed to feel it soon because we all stopped in our tracks.
"You guys feel that?"Erik asked.
"Sometimes, Demi-demons know when danger's about to happen, a gift from our parents..."Aella mumured, Loona nodded along.
A crash noise ran through the street, right on que. A giant boar... or elephant looking thing with bear feet and a trunk crashed into cars, running towards us. "Is that..."Aella was cut off, the thing jumped on her. "BEHEMOTH!"I yelled, suddenly remembering the creature. IT stabbed into Aella's arm with it's tusk, it had her pinned down.
Suddenly, Erik jumped behind the creature, stabbing it in the back. Behemoth got off of Aella, roaring in anger at Erik. It jumped onto Erik, sending his sword flying through the air, Loona caught it, pointing it at the beast. The beast stared into Erik's eyes with rage, about to stomp on his head.
I picked up a soda can off the floor, throwing it at the beast. Why... did I do that? Well, now I had to say something.
"HEY! YOU BIG IDIOT! OFF OF HIM!"I yelled, Loona smirked. "Yeah, Come pounce on Ezra!"She pointed to me. "Hey- wait-"I was cut off by the beast pouncing on me, breathing in my face. It's eyes filled with anger, and... probably hunger. I remembered that Behemoth was known for gluttony... and eating, a lot. Actually, eating anything it wanted to eat.
It's tusks touhed my cheek, the creatures eyes stared into my soul. It stomped on one of my ankles, "AGH!"I groaned in pain. Yup. It was probably broken. Loona ran to the monster, stabbing it in the head with Erik's sword. Behemoth yelped in pain, but exploded into a pile of dust.
"So, bad news.... we're- out of hell-flames. Good news, there's a train that goes straight to California from here!"Aella smiled, pouring the last bit of hell fire into her wound. "I... I think I broke my ankle."I mumbled, dazed from the pain. Erik walked over, poking it with his finger, I winced.
"Looks broken... and we just ran out of Hell fire, too."Loona groaned. "Don't worry. They called me a doctor back home."Erik smirked, I wasn't sure where his home was... but they must've been crazy.
