Me and The Devil

Chapter 3

SMG4 walked out and was met by his friends. "So what's up 4?" Meggy asked. He looked down and that immediately troubled Meggy. "SMG4, are you leaving!! D:" Mario yelled, catching attention of people walking by. SMG4 covered his mouth. "Mario, please just..quiet down but..for the time being yes.." he let go and held one of his arms, the wings on his head even went down fully. "What! That's.. you'll get killed, especially what's going on today!" Meggy was now fearing for her friends life. "They didn't care .. they said for me to prove my respect, I'd have to go there and..." SMG4 got quiet at the end, looking away. "And what 4?" Meggy asked. SMG4 sighed, "and get a head of a...demon, Meggy. I have to kill a demon." SMG4 voice was shaky, very shaky. Meggy couldn't tell if it was because he didn't want to or that he knew he couldn't do it, either he didn't have the strength or he'd be killed himself before even killing the demon. Meggy began to cry, the thought of loosing her friend she's knows for decades was too much for me. Mario caught up on this and began to worry even more, crying out for SMG4 not to leave. All of this even made 4 shed some tears before hugging his 2 best friends. "You guys mean the world to be, y'know that?" SMG4 told the both of them. "don't say that... you're making it sound like you won't ever return." Meggy said through tears. "I know the chances are very..low, but I believe in you. So please dont... y'know." Meggy looked at him. "What woomy said! :D" Mario added, then got hit in the back of the head by Meggy. SMG4 smiled and took a deep breath. "You're right, I'll try my best." The wings came back up but scrunched up.

They started walking towards the gates that lead to the unknown. As they reached there, SMG4's mind began to cloud up with very disturbing thoughts. He even began to image how he would die which caused him to shake his head and earn a glance from Meggy. "You okay 4?" She put a hand on his shoulder. "I think? I don't know, I'm really regretting speaking out at the play." SMG4 spoke. Anyone would in this situation, he knew full well his chances of returning alive with slim to none. He knew he was going to die.

"I bet you are but you got this. You're our head protector, you are made for doing this kind of stuff if something were to happen, hence another battle or even war." Meggy tried her best to reassure him and it semi-worked. "Yeah..thanks Meg" SMG4 spoke. "WE'LL MISS YOU SMG4 WAHH" Mario cried out and hugged SMG4 tight, being his usually over expressive self. "T-thanks Mario, now let m-me breath" SMG4 spoke while trying to not suffocate from Mario's death hug. "Oh, sorry! :[" Mario let go and let SMG4 get some air. As SMG4 caught his breath, he looked through the gates bars and looked at the scene in front of him. The unknown was terrifying, especially on a day like this. It was foggy, really foggy. Usually when we do go out and we explore it, there's trees and multiple ponds. In the middle There's a huge lake, that's probably how they decided to separate, one species takes one side and the other takes the other side. Though there were pretty parts of it. At one place there is a picnic type area and it was actually quite relaxing, he might head there. SMG4 was snapped out of his thoughts by Meggy shaking him. "Huh what?" SMG4 looked over. "Dude you were spaced out." Meggy replied. SMG4 didn't even realize that. He stood up straight and faced the gate, taking a deep breath. "Welp, I guess this is goodbye..for now of course." SMG4 spoke, he tried to sound confident but he wasn't at all, he was absolutely terrified. Meggy and Mario hugged him and wished him well as he walked out the realm, waving as he went.

SMG4 kept walking, looking around and trying to make out where he was. Damn it was really foggy, no wondered the demons used this day to hunt, you can barely see through this fog. Then SMG4 froze. He actually forgotten about the hunting for a minute, for all he knew there could be one right behind him, or maybe even in front of him. This cause him to go into a panic, he started breathing heavily. "Fuck..this is really bad." SMG4 spoke to himself. He decided to summon his spear, his choice of weapon and probably the best in this situation, he could use it as a guide. He kept walking, waving the spear in front of him to see if it'll hit anything and if so he'll start flying. This went on for what seemed like hours before...SPLASH. SMG4 had fallen into a lake. He swam up and gasped for air before looking around. He knew he had to leave quick, if there were any demons out they definitely heard that. SMG4 climbed out of the lake and tried looking for his spear and once he found it and went to grab it, someone stepped on his hand and that's when he knew his worse nightmares had come true. He slowly looked up and was met with a bright red pair of eyes staring back down at him through the fog.

"Gotcha." It spoke.
