Chapter 25: Devil's Choir, My Darkest Desire.

TROYE GRAYSCOLD (THE PROPHET) POV

My lips widen as I'm thrown to the other side of the room by the so called demon, Zalgo, I can clearly hear a crack on my back, yep... That's going to hurt like a bitch later. What worries me the most, is how Rouge has now appeared between Zalgo and I, my throat develops a gasp, when the only thing it wants to do is scream, scream for help, scream for Rouge to leave, but I'm speechless... When I get up, gently because now my lower back hurts a lot, feeling little dots of vital red liquid dripping down my left temple and a small scratch on my cheek starts to open up and feeling the sting, I can tell it will start bleeding.

-Leave him ALONE! This is between you and me Zalgo- She puts her hand in front of me and the other one in front of Zalgo as she separates us.

Well shit is going real down this time.

-Oh but not that there's not one, but two Marked Ones- Zalgo's deep and demonic voice makes shivers cover my spine- I can keep both- He has a creepy smile showing on his 'lips'.

I try reincorporating again, now when finally standing up, I take a large step closer to my sister, and she gives me a reproach look, making me understand that I should have stayed far away from Zalgo's and Regina's conversation.

ROUGE ROYAL POV

Zalgo's wings open letting me admire his bat-like wings, a really demonic smile assaults him, making a really big and intense shiver cover my spine, making me express my fear through my body language, for once in all this months, I feel scared, I'm panicking... My throat feels the same way because of how it starts to block the air coming through it, so I have to breathe intensely through my nose.

-Why are you here? – I try to sound tough but my voice breaking at the end ruins it.

-Isn't it obvious? I'm taking both of you- He points at both of us with his claw- GraysCold siblings.

-You're not taking any of us- I respond between teeth.

-Then, you wouldn't mind if I... Kill every single one of your friends here- His deep voice can be heard all over the room- Right?

-You're not killing anyone in this house- I say between teeth avoiding my voice to crack.

-We'll see- He grunts and opens up his wings then to close them violently, making a strong breeze of air cover us, and Troye's feet lift up in the air as he flies meters away from where he was, grunting in pain.

I gasp not knowing how to react, when I see it, Zalgo has developed shadows around him, his shadows become human-like figures and look at me and my brother with hate, the air grows heavier every time that I breath in, a pain in my chest lets me know about my growing anxiety, and my throat starts to burn because of the acid inside me. My panic grows stronger, to the point where my body reacts by itself, making me grab my brother with strength, as I see Casey on the stairs looking at me with fear, I start running not caring about my brother's pain, finally going upstairs I lock the three of us in Slender's lab.

-Yeah because locking ourselves from the demon it's clever- Troye complains.

-Shut the fuck up and help- I make him a sign as he grunts laughing sarcastically, we move the desk in the lab adding something to avoid people or Zalgo entering here.

-You didn't have to be rude- Troye whispers.

-Well what the hell do you want me to do? Ask you politely when there's a fucking demon chasing the hell out of us two?! – I whisper loud enough as I hiss with anxiety growing in my chest.

-What do I have to do with all this, once again? – Casey interferes trying to keep us quiet.

-You're a part of our family somehow- I stutter passing my hands through my long ginger mane, my lips let out a moan of desperation.
