   cw for cursing

 Scott inhaled suddenly, opening his eyes and looking around.

    He was standing in a empty white void that went on as far as he could see. Everything shimmered slightly, so Scott assumed there was some sort of magic at play, since this was NOT where he had gone to sleep.

    A sharp inhale from behind him snapped him out of his thoughts, and he looked to see Sausage blinking furiously and glancing around, obviously confused.

    Another gasp heralded the arrival of yet another person, and Gem poofed into existence right in front of Scott, making him jump and almost fall over if it wasn't for Sausage grabbing his arm and keeping him upright.

    "Thanks," Scott told him. Sausage nodded and began to look around, spinning in place to get a full view of absolutely nothing.

    "Where are we?" He asked. Gem shrugged and said, "I have no idea. Last I remember, I fell asleep in my bed, and now I'm here with you two."

    "I was asleep, too. Maybe we're all dreaming?" Sausage replied. Scott frowned. He didn't remember going to sleep, but it must have happened at some point, because now he was dreaming.

    "This is no dream... You don't have the option of waking up here..." A voice echoed from everywhere and nowhere. Scott spun around, putting his back to Sausage and Gem, and they did the same, forming a small circle that defended everyone's backs.

    "Who's there?" Sausage yelled at the void. "We're not afraid of you!"

     Scott smacked himself in the face. Of course Sausage would provoke  the creepy death voice.

     "Oh, but you should be..." The voice chuckled evilly. "I've already taken one of your friends, do you really want me to possess more?"

    Gem inhaled sharply, realization hitting her at the same time as everyone else. "You're Raz." She breathed.

    "What have you done with Lizzie? Give her back!" Sausage demanded. The voice somehow got closer, and a body materialized in front of Scott. The others came of the back-to-back formation to regard the demon.

    They were pretty short, and from their facial structure and stature, this person couldn't be older than 10.

    The demon was a child.

    Short brown hair was cut around their ears and fell into their eyes. The eyes themselves were red, but the freckles around them somehow made them look cute and little instead of demonic. They were dressed in a simple shirt and pants with boots.

    The three rulers stared at the young child standing in front of them. Scott wasn't sure what to feel. One one hand, this little thing possessed Lizzie and almost killed FWhip and Joey. One the other hand, they looked like they needed a hug and a bedtime story instead of an exorcism. 

    The child chuckled, and it was same evil voice that had taunted them earlier, which was enough proof for Scott. Lunging forward, he tried to grab the kid, but they dissolved into smoke in his hands.

    Eerie laughter echoed around them, and Sausage whispered, "Why did you do that? Now they've disappeared!"

    "Says the man who literally challenged the demon!" Scott whispered back furiously. The situation was getting on his nerves, and he was practically shaking from the adrenaline rush he was getting from this mess.

    "Ring around the rosie..."

    "Pockets full of posies..."

    "Ashes, ashes..."

    "We all fall down..."

     Scott whipped around as the child reappeared and tried to stab Sausage, still laughing that horrible laugh. Sausage scrambled back, barely missing the knife swing, and Gem took the opportunity to try and grab them from behind. Her hands passed through them like smoke, although the child stayed visible this time.

     Raz turned around and smiled at Gem, before stabbing her in the arm. She shrieked and fell back, clutching the wound, as Sausage charged forward, and ran right through the demonic kid.

    The demon had a major advantage over them, and Scott didn't see them with any chance of winning this fight. Grabbing Gem with one hand (carefully, to not jostle the stab wound) and beckoning to Sausage, Scott took off running in a random direction.

    Sprinting ahead of the other two, Scott found out the hard way that the place they were in wasn't infinite, it had an end.

    He ran right into a wall. 

    Luckily he didn't break anything, but his head was ringing and everything was sparklier than normal, so Scott assumed he had a concussion. The evil laughter turned into a full-on cackle as the demon child appeared and began walking slowly towards them. Sausage and Gem positioned themselves to protect Scott, who was leaning against the wall dizzily and watching through blurry eyes.

    Raz was only a few feet away when a pair of blue haired people appeared between them and the demon. One of them shouted something and thrust their hands forward, and a wave of black magic struck the child full force, throwing them several feet back. The other person advanced, white magic swirling around their hands.

    "Leave them alone!" They said, voice full of power. The other one shouted enthusiastically, "Yeah, get fucked, demon!"

     The demon struggled to their feet, anger written all over their face. "YOU DARE INTERFERE?" They boomed, sounding much older and much more terrifying. The dizziness was starting to fade a little, and Scott stood a bit straighter as the black magic person laughed at Raz and said, "Yeah, we dare interfere. What you gonna do about it, you little bitch? Cry to Mommy?"

    Beside him, Sausage choked slightly, although whether it was from surprise of amusement, Scott didn't know. Raz was beginning to glow, they were so furious. "I AM-" 

    "Oh, piss off, baby." The white magic person said, waving their hand and sending a mass of energy at the demon child. They didn't even have time to finish their sentence before they vanished, presumably trying to avoid the weird magic.

    The two people turned to face them, one with a friendly smile, and one with a shit-eating grin.

    Scott should have probably been more polite, but he was concussed, tired, and still coming down from the adrenaline rush of fear he had. 

    "Who the HELL are you two?" He demanded, voice slightly slurred. His vision dimmed slightly, and Scott realized he was about to pass out. The last thing he saw before everything went dark was the alarmed face of one of the strangers, the annoyed face of the other, and then it all faded into black.

A/N: Guess who the two new people are... hehe
