A Walk Between The Darkness and The Light

Chapter 11:

Chapter 11 What a battle it is

LESLIE POV

I stared at Asa as she changed into Nic's clothes. She looked seriously evil with all that black leather. However, it was the best fighting clothes I could find short of wearing dresses, which she seemed to hate. Looking at her I wasn't sure how we'd thought she was a guy before. Even though I'd been half unconscious her eyes shined with intelligence. Her blonde hair was cut short in a pixie cut and it looked gorgeous on her. Not to mention those things flopping around in the front. Even my bra wouldn't have fit those honkers. I blushed when I realized she was staring and asked her how she had become evil. She stopped abruptly and dropped her shirt onto the floor as tears fell from her eyes. 

"Alex, he hated that name. We were in L.A. We had been dating for a year but we hadn't told our parents yet. We were in love and fixing to get married. We didn't want them to stop us. Then he died and I was so heart broken. I couldn't even make myself go to the funeral. Then this guy showed up, your dad, and said he could bring him back to me good as new if I helped him. I didn't know he was evil. When I saw Raven was going to kill you I was going to take your place so I could join him. Matt killed me and I got to see him but he wanted me to come back and help you. He said I would see him at Dax's so I agreed to Nic's plan to bring me back. She couldn't complete the spell without my permission." I held her as she cried and told her Alex reminded me of Sandy. Then I started to ball too. Then Sara showed up and told us it was time to get some sleep cause in the morning we were going to kill the bad guys. God, that was depressing but I nodded. In the morning we were going to start the fight a little early. Get the element of surprise.

..........

My hands shook as Asa led us into the tunnel. I would be facing my father soon. I knew some of us would die and I was leading them there. I tried to concentrate on staring at Asa so I wouldn't think so much. When we stepped out of the tunnel we were standing behind a curtain. On the other side was Dax, Raven and Zach. Suddenly I remembered something. I turned back and whispered to Matt who was directly behind me.

"We have to save Adam first." Matt nodded and Asa turned to head back into the tunnel. Suddenly screams filled the room and I pushed past Asa to peek through the curtain as a man writhing in flames fell on top of the curtain. The curtain caught on fire as we fell backwards to avoid the flames. I only felt the fire on me for a moment before I was suddenly freezing. I looked over at Gray who was grinning then looked back to the man only to see Zach looming over us. He spoke as we quickly rose from the floor. 

"What a surprise. Just who we were looking for." He grabbed me around my neck as he lifted my feet from the floor. I felt the air leaving my lungs when I saw the lightening strike him in the back. But Matt was behind me not Zach. Zach flung me into Luke and Bruno as he whirled to see who had attacked him. Matt gasped and I looked to the top of the stairs to see Joey, his hair was longer than it was before, but it was Joey. Zach had started to walk towards him when Joey pulled a knife from behind his back. His eyes glittered with malice as he spoke to Zach. 

"Do you know what this is?" He showed Zach the knife. "You should. You gave it to Raven to kill my sister with. Now I'm going to kill you with it." Zach laughed. 

"You are not fast enough to kill me. How did you get past.." Before he could finish his sentence Joey was gone from the staircase and was behind Zach. He yanked him back by his hair and placed the knife at his throat. A line of blood dripped from his neck as he pressed harder into Zach's neck. Joey looked up at me while keeping his knife at Zach's throat. He was grinning as he spoke. 

"Go ahead guys. Diana's upstairs fighting by herself." He paused and glanced at Matt. "I love you bro." Matt patted him on the back as we rushed past him upstairs to find Diana. We heard yells at the end of the hall and rushed down to see three huge demons surrounding Diana as she backed in a corner. Their claws were twitching as they stretched forward and drove them into her face. I told Bruno to use his power of Earth. He stomped his foot and a crack shot over to where the three demons stood. A hole appeared and swallowed them up. Then it sealed again leaving Diana standing there looking shaken. Bruno rushed forward and swept her into his arms.
