Living Color

19. House of Demons

Emanuel groans as he opens his eyes to see him laying on Brian's floor, in complete darkness. He sits up and looks around the room, he immediately notices everything distorted and discombobulated. "What the hell happen?"

He stands up and walks into the hallway, Emanuel smells something foul coming from the living room below. He heads down, but stops half way when he sees dead bodies, limbs and blood everywhere.

Emanuel cautiously walks down the bloodied steps and walks around the gore and limbs scattered everywhere. "What happen? Who did this?"

He walks into the living room and sees even more bodies. Emanuel walks out the back yard and sees the pool dried up with even more bodies filled up the top with blood as well. The tress surrounding the house on fire and the sky red with an eerie most surrounding the house.

"Hello?!" Emanuel cries out for anyone, he makes a 360 spin to see his surroundings. He notices the house a lot more broken down and a faded grey color. He looks up at the second floor window and sees someone staring down at him, he runs into the house and up the stairs. He bursts into Amber's room, but doesn't see anyone.

"What the fuck!?"

"Emanuel." He hears someone softly call out his name. Emanuel turns around to see a shadow figure standing in the doorway.

"Who are you?"

The black figure stands completely still, "I am what most call a Demon." The demon says as it arches it's back.

"What do you want with me?" Emanuel anxiously asks as he takes a step back.

"To show you the truth. The truth about what you have been going through this past school year with your friends."

Emanuel frowns in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

The Demon slightly turns its head to the side, "The countless lives you've been given up until now. I'm here to reveal the truth to you." The Demon says as it takes a long step towards Emanuel.

"What are you talking about?" Emanuel curiously asks as he steps back and bumps into the window. The Demon suddenly appears in front of him, it grabs his face and lifts him up into the air.

"Don't fight me. Or I will kill you again." The Demon says as it pulls Emanuel's face close to its black space of a face. Emanuel then notices it's long horns on the top of its head and piercing red eyes beginning to glow bright as Emanuel stares into its eyes.

"Yes, let me in."

Emanuel gasps when memories of his prior deaths begin flooding his mind. Tears begin to stream down his face as he stares at the Demon's face in utter shock.

The Demon pulls Emanuel in a little closer, "Do you remember now?"

Emanuel groggily nods his head, "Why is this happening to us?"

The Demon throws Emanuel out the window, he screams as he falls down and lands inside the pool. He gasps as he looks down and sees all of the deceased people staring at him. He screams in horror as he begins to hear there screams of agony. The bodies begin to move and grab hold of him, dragging him down deeper into the blood and limbs.

Emanuel looks up at the window he was thrown through and sees a light flash across the room, he sees the Demon's face. Emanuel gasps when he sees a long scar etched down its eye.

"It's you!!"

The Demon waves as Emanuel's dragged underneath all of the bodies, he begins choking on the blood and bits of flesh as its enter his mouth. Emanuel disappears underneath all of the bodies, the Demon steps back from the window and crosses his arms as he walks away from the window.
