A turn left... left again... straight... right... straight... straight... it was all so confusing. All the rooms looked the same, sure sometimes there'd be a bunch of rocks but it all just kept repeating.
"Mr. Lost...?" Isaac lightly pulled the angel's... floating arm... wow, only now did he notice that The Lost's arms are detached.
"Hmm?" Lost glanced toward Isaac. "You sure we're going the right way?" Isaac looked towards the hallway they had just come from. Lost smiled reassuringly. "Of course. Since I was sent here, I've done my best to memorize the basics of this place to the best of my ability! Not to mention that camp is literally right in there." He pointed to a room to the right. Maggie started to snicker a little.
"Oh." Isaac blinked and laughed a bit at his own foolishness.
"Come now, Maggy's been talking nonstop about you to everyone since last night and they all sure loved hearing about you!" After Lost said that it somewhat made Isaac think. (What if Maggy was exaggerating and they don't like the real me? No, they went through the same thing as me! We're sure to get along, right? Please be that easy...) Only about 2 feet from the door Lost stopped. "Oh no..."
Isaac looked up and into the room. "Oh no" was a bit of an understatement, "IS THAT A DEMON TRYING TO KILL THAT GIRL?!" would have been a better response considering that that's what was happening.
The demon in question looked like a homemade doll, covered in stitches from right down the middle of her face to her ankles. The stitches on her face seemed to divide one half to be a rhino grey and the other lavender while her hair was the invert of that from what Isaac could tell even while she had her hood up. She had quite a thin tail that moved in the same way a cat's would. And... her horns... the grey one pointed up and the purple one pointed down... it's almost like she really was just a doll made of random parts.
As for the girl she was trying to drag into an almost pitch-black portal... she seemed around Isaac's age, and her hair was a deep brown that was held into pigtails by some faded blue scrunchies. She wore a teal jacket, pants as brown as her hair with little pouches on the sides, and boots accented by cerulean lines.
"OW! LET GO OF ME YOU PSYCHO!" The girl shouted desperately trying to make the demon let go of her pigtails. The demon looked a weird mix of tired and excited as she dragged her towards the portal. "As if I would! Just obey and give into your damnation already!"
Then shooting across from the other side of the room like a red streak of lightning, came a boy who looked quite like her. He punched the demon so fiercely not only did she let go of the girl, but she stubbled backward into a wall and her arm literally fell off! "Don't you dare get anywhere near her! You alright Beth?" He said as he helped the girl to her feet. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine... just feels like my entire scalp was getting ripped off!" She crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
The demon let out a not-so-soft growl just to be the center of attention again. She stood up and took a few steps forward and Isaac finally noticed she was wearing a necklace of an inverted cross made of emerald. The necklace began to glow, and her severed arm began rolling towards her as she grabbed a needle and thread that were tied to her waist and began stitching her arm back on. "You kids are gonna make me run out of thread! UGH! You're more selfish than my stupid brothers!"
Lost finally zipped into the room and shot a beam of light at the portal, closing it. The demon stubbled back into the wall again the moment she saw him. She tried to stay intimidating and gridded her teeth showing just how sharp they were. Lost and the demon stared each other down for a second before the demon spoke, "Lost... how annoying to see your face again... always getting rid of my chances of proving myself to the dark lord..."
Lost narrowed his eyes at her.
Isaac couldn't move. He still couldn't believe what was going on. Here he was watching an angel and a demon fight! And they knew each other too?! Isaac felt a sudden tug on his arm as Maggy pulled him into the room. "Come on! We gotta do something!" Isaac was still in shock so he couldn't really pull back towards the door, all he could say was, "N-No! Maggy it's too dangerous to get in the wa-" She'd already dragged him right next to Lost. The demon glanced towards Isaac and let out an excited gasp then smiled. "Perfect... just who I was looking for..."
"Wha- Looking for me?! I-"
The demon began to laugh at his stuttering. "Nyahohohoho ~ Ah, what's wrong Isaac...?" Claws shot out from her fingers, and she climbed up onto the wall using a pillar and sat down. "...never seen a REAL demon before?!" Her necklace glowed again, and a green pentagram appeared behind her. Isaac wanted to run but his body still refused to move. Nothing made sense, so much was going on and he didn't understand any of it.
Lost put his arm out and pushed Isaac more behind him. "Stay back Isaac, there's no telling what she'll do next..."
The demon glanced back and forth between Lost and Isaac and laughed again. "Hmm... I'm surprised you don't seem to know who I am, Isaac." She stood up. "It's always important to know who'll rip your soul from your body and drag it to hell, so a proper introduction is always appreciated." She pulled her hood down and let her arms hover at her sides. "I am Envy! Second daughter of Satan and princess of hell! Watch as I rip you all apart and sow you into an abomination like myself! NYAHAHAH-" A blue fireball whizzed by and blasted into Envy causing her to explode into a bunch of pieces midair and get knocked over the wall.
Isaac turned around and saw the girl with pigtails holding a strange book and was surrounded by more blue fireballs.
"OH COME ON! THAT WAS JUST UNCALLED FOR! EVEN I'M NOT THAT CRUEL!!" Envy shouted from over the wall.
"Shut your trap and stay out you little purple gremlin!" The girl shouted back. She closed the book and all the flames around her disappeared. "Ugaahh... sorry that that was your introduction to this place. So, you're the Isaac I've heard so much about, huh? Well, I'm Bethany, but you can just call me Beth, and welcome to the Fun-known Squad...! I guess... Eheheheh..."
Isaac blinked at her and then took a deep inhale before saying, "I still have not the slightest clue what's going on."
