The demon's life
Chapter 1 The fall
I clutch my stomach, it hurts so much. I hold my breath and then let it out slowly. I do that over and over again until i can bear the pain. I brace my self and look up. I gasp. Partly because it hurt, partly because of what i was seeing. It was my house, reduced to ashes, slowly transforming into a barren wasteland. I collapse on the ground in shock and pain. I look down and there is a knife in my stomach. No wonder it hurts so much. I...
Wake up screaming into my pillow. I've had this dream since i was little and it always kept me up for the rest of the night. No sense trying to sleep again, so i got up and went downstairs for a midnight snack. As i stood in the kitchen trying to decide what to eat i heard a quiet thump coming from the living room. I grabbed a meat knife and snuck over to the door to the living room. I shoved the door open and jumped out of the way. The door creaked open to reveal four men standing frozen, each carrying some type of weapon. One has a bow and arrows, another has two long knives, the third one has a samurai sword and the last one is a giant of a man carrying two broadswords. I jump back behind the wall and think about this. I was directly in their view, fifteen steps away. I slowly walk out in front of them again and wave my hand in front of their faces. They do nothing. I touched the last guys wrist and jumped back because it fell off! Then the ground starts rumbling and i almost fell over, but what scared me the most was the statues started moving jerkily towards me. I took a step back right into thin air, i quickly pulled my foot back onto solid ground, pinwheeling my arms to keep my balance. I look around to see that we were on a circle of floor right in the middle of the room! It was too far to jump across the gap and the zombie things were closing in fast. Figuring i would rather die hitting the bottom of the chasm than getting stabbed multiple times with a broadsword, i turned and jumped. Right into the hole. I am stupid. I jumped into a bottomless pit. I thought about this as i fell. After a while i grew bored, did this pit fall right to hell??!! I started trying to do flips and summersaults in midair. After a while the air got thin and I can't breath, i gasp and try to suck air in but it won't come. I fall a bit farther, trying to stay conscious but the black hovering at the edge of my vision takes over and my last thought was: will anyone ever miss the orphan who always went downstairs for a midnight snack. Then i gave in to the darkness completely.
