he had it coming.

the devils swing

"RUN" carmen shouted as she grabed london wrist and ran with the magic boy, almost dragging him behind.sprinting down the corridor as it seemed that the gargoyles came to life and stared the two down.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE THE STATUES ALIVE CARMEN!" london screamed as they made a sharp turn to the left, sliding into the next corridor and trying to find haley and shadow.

"IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SUMMONED HERE THIS DAMN PALACE HAS A BOUNTY ON MY FOREHEAD BECAUSE I DID MORE THAN WHAT YOU THINK ROSE"carmen shouted as she used her magic to make them stair case higher and more jagged movements so the once statues wouldnt get them.london glanced around the room and noticed the walls were leaking black liquid slowly and oozing the thickness. lights became dim as he saw the gargoyles chasing them and a black monster behind them made out of the black liquid that started to form.

"WHAT DID YOU DO INSTEAD OF CREATE THE FOREST CREATURES CARMEN-" london screamed as they jumped and landed on the concreate floor and coming to a hault, turning to see bailey standing there infront of the black oozing monster.

"i was the villan" carmen smiled sinisterly as she looked at london getting a look from the magic boy.

"girl we got to work on you and you causing mayhem"london rolled his eyes as he looked at the things before him.

"well, other than that. we're by ourselves." carmen sighed as she grabbed londons hand tightly and looking at him."this is a time where we both combine ourselves as the rulers of the dark. when i say, we need to blast the monster with banishing spell. got it?" london nodded as carmen looked back at the monster.

"3"carmen smiled as she held londons hand tighter.

"2" london responded and aimed at the black blob.

"1!"carmen shouted as they combined their magic and ended the monster, shrinking it to another person.

"this is going to be more difficult now that your here isnt it" london huffed as carmen nodded.

"at least it isnt that huge now" carmen spoke as london choked.

"thats what she said"

"THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION BOY" carmen laughed as they both began running again.sometimes the magic boy wished the palace wasnt so big of a maze, maybe they couldve built it a bit smaller and this wouldnt happen.

right now carmen and london were running for dear life, they really did act like family because they were, but they have been so close its crazy.as they ran it was like they were playing the devils game, london soon to greet death, carmen losing her mind slowly but surely trying to make london be like her and play the role she played.yes carmen will help him no matter what but she needs him to keep her legacy.

to london it was like he was living an illusion. everything was a nightmare to him and the things he is seeing was all caused because of george killing himself. its crazy how things end up how they are right now. one second you think your ok the next its like your playing a life or death game with satan himself. one wrong step and your gone.

they continued running until carmen suddenly went back to being a shadow and london was hit by bailey in the back, causing him to collapse to the ground and choke. london felt blood roll down his back as he lied there trying to breathe.

"help-"
