Demon's greeting

ch 18

I opened my eyes again and looked around. Everything from my dream was perfectly in place. Nazz and Ed were across from me but instead of some sort of hand holding me it was a cross like the others. Eddward was down below me. My eyes widened as I realized my Eddward was down under me.

"Edd!" I shouted down at him. He seemed to ignore me as he looked around panicked. His clothes were torn and dirt and bruises covered his exposed skin. His beanie was long gone and his hair was thrown in different directions and greasy. My heart clenched at the thought of Edd being hurt.

"Eddward! " I shouted again and this time his head shot up to view me. His eyes went wide as he circled around to take in the place. I could see the small tears rolling down his cheeks as he spotted his childhood friends and playmates.

"Kevin!" he yelled once his gaze snapped back towards me. I arched my back off the wooden platform and roared in anger at the restraints. I pulled against the restraints and felt power course through me. I could feel the anger boil in my veins and the energy shock through me.

I felt something snap and my left hand became loose. I looked over to it and saw I had broken the piece off that was holding me. I brought my hand up and pulled at the pins in my wings. As I pulled one out white hot pain pulsed from the spot. He roared out helplessly and ripped the final length out. The pain throbbed as I moved to the next and did the same. Roaring in pain as I set my eyes to the goal ahead.

I searched the blurred sight for Edd and blinked in dismay as I saw he was gone. I gripped the broken wood and yanked my other hand free. I felt myself fall from the restraints and I put my hands and feet in a position to catch myself. I landed and felt the ground split beneath my powered weight.

I whipped around in a circle trying to find where my Edd had gone. I growled and darted out of the crater before looking around again. I spotted someone and raced in the direction. My vision became slightly blurred and the person seemed to be getting farther.

My ears suddenly picked up the sound of splashing water and I stopped dead in my tracks to look around. I felt liquid crawl up my legs and I looked down at my feet. Water begins to flow around me and I push forward to escape the liquid. It felt like I was running through jelly. It was sticky and clung to me as I pushed forward.

The jelly-like substance filled up the endless abyss and clung to my skin. I fought through it and started to panic as it wrapped around my neck. My legs struggled to move through the substance and my breath hitched as it slashed over my face. I held my breath and bit my tongue as I felt my body stop moving in the thick liquid and my tail being pulled.

I twisted my head around and suddenly felt like I was in water. I breathed in suddenly in need for air and my eyes widened. The 'water' was breathable like as if I was a fish. I felt myself float and looked around in every direction. I heard a roaring sound and turned swiftly to find a ball of flaming rock bolting towards me.

I pushed against the water and felt myself falling again. I felt myself hit the ground and the wind was pulled from my lungs. I looked around myself and saw a dark cloak. Around myself was a desert with tall trees leaving no shade. I raised an eyebrow in confusion and stood up. My stance wavered slightly as I slashed my tail back and forth as I looked at the dark cloaked man.

His tanned hands reached up and pulled the hood down. A man with long, black hair and curled ram horns stared at me with slitted red, burning eyes. He had a sharp, evil grin placed on his dark lips and his wings unfolded from behind him. They were slightly bigger than my own showing him to have more power. I snarled and got into a guarded fighting stance.

"Nice to finally meet you Kevin." I heard his gravelly snake-like voice echo around me. I narrowed my eyes as I focused on the figure growing bigger. He was walking towards me.

I growled and pulled out my revolver, pointed it towards him, and fired three shots. I saw his body move as each shot hit him. I smiled in triumph but it quickly wiped away as smoke emitted from the wounds and the bullets fell to the ground. I gritted my teeth and roared before running forward to attack him. I was thrown back as dust and sand swirled around the Lucifer and the tornado grew bigger and bigger. My eyes widened as the dust parted ways revealing the monster hidden
