Waking up in the Hotel Room put things into persepective, Saving Ellisse wasn't going to be a simple task.
"Ellisse- She- I- I didn't-"I panted.
"Hey, were... gonna get her some other time, Okay? Aella found some Hell-fire and healed us earlier, but... Erik's doing worse..."Loona explained, and as if right on cue, Erik jolted up, feathers sprouting out of his body, "War! Death- SPY! Loona? Her parents... not sleeping, dead! SPY!"He yelled, more feathers sprouting out. Aella woke up, throwing a pillow at him like an alarm clock, "Shut up!"Aella groaned."Dead..?"Loona looked completly shocked. "We- we should catch a train, clearly his head's all screwed up..."Loona rushed out the door, Aella threw Erik over her shoulder and followed. I got out of bed, expecting my ankle to still feel like it was on fire. But, it seemed like the Hell-fire had healed it, so I instantly took off the make-shift cast and ran out the door.
Apparently, I had summoned a necklace in my sleep, and the others pawned it. So we had a lot of money. Okay, pretty much just enough to get a train ride from LA(where we were) back to Long Island(where camp was) And staring out the train window, I could feel myself drifting apart from Ellisse. I had barely brushed my fingers up against my goal before I was dragged away. But this was what life was like for Demi-demons, nothing good happens. Ever. I didn't want to sleep, it felt like all my hope had melted away... and it'd only been a five-day journey. After everything we'd been through... we had to go running back to camp, barely alive.
I tried to think of the good things that happened on the quest... Erik made a lot of funny jokes... I got to pretend to be a bussiness owner with a trenchoat? Was that it? Yeah, we had Dinner at Loona's house... but her parents were corpses. Aella got to solve a puzzle, which would've killed us if we weren't careful. I didn't notice, but I seemed to be drifting off...I couldn't let myself... no... I couldn't.
Eventually I did, and that led to dreams. I stood on a single tile in a void, I looked down, and bellow me was a pool of flames, going on for miles. In front of me was Ellisse, in her cage. Flying around me was an army of Angels, constantly shooting arrows at me, It seemed like the arrows didn't want to hit me... they just flew around me, avoiding me. I wish I could say the same for Ellisse, arrows flew into her, forcing her to bleed out. She screamed and wailed, pleading to be set free, barely even noticing her body being impaled by arrows. I wanted to scream out to her and say something like, "Everything's gonna be okay! I'm here, your brothers here!" But no words came out of my mouth, she cried and begged and I had to watch.
The scene shifted, I stood in a field. My mother rushed towards me, hugging me, Ellisse stood next to me. When mom broke away from the hug, she had no face... red horns came out of her head, I looked over at Ellisse, and she had the same strange features, too.
"M-mom?"I mumbled, she wiped away the tears from her cheeks, where did the tears even come from? She had no eyes... no mouth, no nose... nothing. She giggled, except it sounded like it was coming from everywhere.
My mom's sweet giggles soon turned into demonic cackles, as the world around me caught on fire. A hand sprouted out of the ground, lifting up my mom, she was like some sort of... finger puppet. Another finger sprouted out, lifting up Ellisse. A head rose out of the ground, it was my father, Mammon.
"I love you sweetie!"The mom puppet said, in a demonic and deep voice, "Yes! Love you so much! And your soul!"The Ellisse one agreed, in a high-pitched demonic voice. My father cackled, and the world started to disappear until I fell into an Endless void. Then, I woke up.
