Hellbound

Chapter Three

I stumbled and fell as the angel kicked me all over my body. His armor pounded against my face and blood rushed out of my skin. His wings glowed in the light of the sun blinding my eyes with its beauty.

"Disgusting demon!" He yelled as he beat me. This was one of those mean angels that all they want to do is hurt demons for fun. "Disgusting piece of shit!"

"Stop!" I begged. I couldn't do anything because other angels held me down and covered my mouth after I yelled stop. I couldn't say any spell or fight back naturally.

"A demon pleading for mercy" the angel beating me mocked. "How pathetic!" He continued to punch me and took out a long sword. "Now it's time to end the fun of torturing you."

He raised his sword in the air and looked at spitting out blood. He swung and I closed my eyes. I was expecting something to happen but nothing. I opened my eyes and saw a demons hand going through the chest of the angel. The other Angels dropped me and attacked.

The demon was fast and seemed to be behind them in a second and grabbed their wings. It pulled their wings off, blood and feathers flee through the air and their screams echoed through the city. I looked at the demon and it vanished in thin air. What was that?

I stood up and held onto the wall before I fell from the pain. I never seen a demon move that quick and rip their wings off so easily. The only demon that can do that is Lucifer or a demon general. But it wasn't either. I have to find out what demon this is and where it is.

I struggled to go home and stumbled the whole way. I tried not to draw attention by people before they come to aid me. I finally reached my building and pulled myself up the stairs. I unlocked my door and swung it open and fell in.

I lay on the floor as I felt my whole body swell and squirm. I tried to ignore the pain and brought myself to stand again. I walked over into my room and took out the suitcase. I have a journal that has all the types of demons in it, Daeda gave it to me.

I flipped through the pages but couldn't find a single things on the creature I saw today. I needed to call Daeda, but he hates coming to Earth. Last time he came was to offer me a deal, which I declined. If I call him to just ask a question he might get mad. I need him however.

"Daeda! I call you to aid me on this day! Daeda!" I called for him. I felt the ground shake and a whole ripped in front of me. It opened up and Daeda stepped out. He looked at me and smiled.

"Finally decided to take my offer" he said. "You look all beat up but it doesn't look like a demons beating."

"It was three angels beating on me" I told him, he laughed and mocked. "But there was something else there. It was a demon and it ripped off their wings and moved faster than the speed of light. I need to know about this demonic monster."

"Was it a demon general?" He asked. I told him no. "Well there isn't a demon that can do that or move that quickly. There can be, but it'll take centuries to train to move that fast. And with this war going on I'm not sure a regular demon lives that long."

"Can you see what you can find out in Hell and tell me?" I asked him to do for me. He rolled his eyes and said yes stepping back into the closing portal. He disappeared and I flopped on the couch thinking about what the demon could be.

I opened my spell book, I needed a way to track down that demon. "Kcart nomed fo deeps fo thgil" I said a spell to track a fast moving demon. I sensed that the fastest demon in this city is currently hunting down angels around this area. Maybe if I attract Angels to me the demon will follow.

After using a spell to partially heal myself I went upstairs to the roof. I stood in the center and looked up. I gathered hell fire and blasted it up in the air causing a huge explosion. The hell fire aura should attract Angels to my location. I saw in the distance as Angels flew in and landed in front of me.

"We can sense your hell bound symbol human" one said. "We'll rip it off of your skin" another said. "Attack!" The first yelled. They rushed towards me and I summoned my dagger. I attacked them as they began to attack me.

Metal banging together and groans in pain flooded the air as we fought. We all stopped, they must've felt the same power that I felt. I sensed a fast moving creature coming towards us, it must be the demon I'm hunting.

The Angels panicked as the demon began to close in on our location. I saw the demon stop in front of one angel and rip its head off. It flowed into the shadow and came out doing the same to thing to another. I stepped back and it appeared behind me.

"Kcab nemod" I said blowing the demon back. That wasn't nearly enough. An angel challenged it but quickly lost its wings to the demons hands. It stopped in front of me, maybe it won't attack because of my hell bound symbol.

I looked at it up and down. It was blood red, wearing a pair of black pants and white shoulder pads. It looked rather odd and familiar.

"You are human" the demons said to me. "Yet you have a hell bound symbol branded on to you. Interesting. You must be the one who banished the hoarders and battle demons to Hell."

I swung at the demon and plunged my dagger into its shoulder. "It's gonna take more than that" he told me. "But not today, not now human. See ya soon!" It disappeared.
