So I texted doodlebrain (my bab) and she said I should do a POV on Akuma. The book will have 13 chapters plus a Prologue (maybe an Epilogue?) The video is Hide (Sex Whales Remix) NightCore.... I couldn't find the original :(... Anyway, love you guys and hope you enjoy this chapter of The Demon's Game!

Kathy's POV

I swallowed the growing lump of fear in my throat. Akuma was coming?

I started to crawl towards Connor when the room dropped from dim candles to pitch black. My heart skipped a beat before I stopped dead. John bumped into my butt and let out a slew of cuss words.

A creaking sound filled the room and a boiling substance began to fill the floor. I jumped up , shoved my hands in my mouth, and spit them back out. Blood. John must have done the same thing, because he began screaming.

I turned around and grabbed his shoulders, "John. Calm down, please, John." John stopped screaming, but shook like a leaf in the wind. The blood began to rise towards my ankles and I stood up on my tiptoes. The blazing heat was seeping through my sneakers.

The lights began to flash, like strobe lights. John began batting my hands away, first lightly, then as if he was trying hurt me. I backed away and John ran towards me. Without thinking, I stuck my hands out to stop John. All that did was make him fall, smushing my arm into the ground.

I screamed a tried desperatly to pull my arm out from under John. The heat was unbearable and John was twitching uncontrollably. The strobe lights must've given him a seizure or something. Finally, I pulled my hand out from under John's chest.

John twitched violently. I winced as I plunged my hands back in the blood. Quickly, I pulled John's torso out of the blood and turned him to face up. He brushed my cheek with his fingers, and smiled. I lifted him up a bit more, so his butt was above the blood.

John's eyes widened for a moment and then went dull with death. The bottom half of John fell into the blood with a sickening splash. He had torn apart in the middle. Tears began to fall down my face. Shaking, I set John's upper half in the blood. I felt the blood cool off to about room temperature and thicken.

Silently, I waded through the blood to the other side of the room. The candles flickered back to life. I looked around and found Connor sewn to the wall.

"Connor?" I whimpered, eyes growing wide.

"Mmn," he groaned softly.

I found an empty candle holder on the wall and tore it off. Turning to Connor, I kissed his cheek, letting out a sob.

"Go, join Lyla." I lifted the candle holder and broke Connor's skull with full force.

I plopped down in the blood and began to sob. Rage filled every cell of my body.

"Are you happy?!" I screamed, "I won, Akuma! I f*cking won!"

"Kathy?" My sobs caught in my throat. "Kathy, it's me, Raina."

I had forgotten about Raina. In fact, I haven't seen her since breakfast, which was when? It felt like eons ago.

"Where are you?" I asked, clumsily getting to my feet.

"Can't you see me?" She asked. I jumped when she spoke and whipped around.

"No, I can't. Please, just tell me where you are."

I froze as something warm dripped onto the top of my head and slid down my forehead. Slowly, I looked up and saw Raina staring back at me, smiling. Her eyes were rolled back into her head and blood dripped from her jaws.

Suddenly, the doors swung open and these sewn up reused humans, including my friends, walked out. Connor tore himself off the wall and John stood up, his middle a maze of stitches.

I couldn't run. This was it. I shook with fear as the human dolls closed in on me. Raina peeled herself off the ceiling and stood in front of me.

"No one wins The Demon's Game." She hissed, letting the dolls grab me, and rip me to shreds.
