Soon enough we hear growling and snarling from the shadows in the forest near by. A group of spiky looking demons come out with razor claws and burning teeth raging forth. Patrick leaps off the roof blasting at the closest one, Kevin teleported in front of the other demon slashing at the thick hide, and Matt sprout bat like wings and glides down with his chainsaw wailing. The fight separated into sections of the school Kevin fighting on the roof after smashing the beast on the bricks, Patrick forced his opponent into the forest where his stealth is an advantage. Matt was in some form of hand to chainsaw to bullet action or whatever, and I was driven into a corner between the dumpster and a drooling monster. It was a demon versus demon stand off, both very powerful, but only one will die and I hope it's not me.

My opponent charges with horns ready to impale me, but I quickly jump on the dumpster and push with all I can sending it racing to him. The beast stops dead in its tracks to catch it leaving me able to slash my energy blades into its arms. With a bloody roar the beast smacks me back allowing me to swing the chain and hook onto it and chuck it at the demon impaling his chest. To deep to pull out the monster it just grunts and looks at me evilly when all of a sudden the school bell rings. In my head I was cursing the world for having move to this moment where school ends. I can imagine the others heard the bell to keep the students from noticing the roaring and shrieks of pain. The beast won't budge each time it healed itself and gain more strength, and worse I could hear the voices of teenagers excited that there classes are over. With only a few minutes left to defeat this monster I whip out two chained swords again with spikes on the edges, and I swing it rapping the monster in the chains with the spikes impaling its skin. Escape was impossible, without hesitation I pulled with all my might until the beast collapses on the ground still struggling to break free.

Soon enough I stabbed one of my blades into the ground and dashed towards it, climbing its back where I ready to strike the back of its neck. "Let's end this now!", I say to the struggling creature. I lift my spear and before I can make the final blow to the demon spawn a voice behind says, "What is that thing?!" The voice was loud enough where both the demon and I turned to see a girl in a school uniform, brown-hair, and blue-eyes watching us fight. For a few seconds I didn't know what to say, and then the monster broke free of the chains sending me flying back into a backwards slide on the ground.

When I slide across the ground I land next to the girl's feet where she was staring at me still with a strange look like she was trying to remember something. I have to admit I was giving the same stare at her like I knew her, but time had passed since last I saw her. Before I can continue our questioning stare the demon wipes the chain around my legs and yanks me into the air. Humiliation can go at a certain point before its just sad and or annoying, but for me the annoying part has left the building, because this idiotic hell-spawn is now using me as a paddle ball toy. Then the fact that the girl was watching was more embarrassing, so with a fifth blow to the face I flipped and kick it right in the face.

The creature stumbled backwards onto the dumpster with a mighty thud! As I slid back between the girl and the beast "You need to leave now!" I say to the girl while still focused on my demonic adversary. Even though I couldn't see her face I can smell the fear in her. "But... I", she says softly. I can sense the rage growing inside me my eyes change to blood-red, my teeth become fangs, and my body is covered in a red coat of energy giving me more power. I turn and shout, "Just get out of here!" then suddenly the beast charges exploding to life and knocking me aside in order to get to her. The intentions were clear it wanted human flesh.

I didn't even need to think of what to do, instantly I jump front of it and stab both claw blades into its chest only inches away from her. Then I took out one hand ranking its head back, and using the sword to slice its head off, then I kick its body away. The blood from the creature stained my hands and on my favorite jacket so I was real mad about that yet, I was able to calm down since it would wash out easily. I turned to see her shocked face and I remind her, " I said you should have left, but are you okay?" she looks at me with a weird expression and says, "What are you?, what is that thing?, and why are your eye burning red?"

"Oh brother", I say to myself. "I might as well tell her why the sky is blue" with a sigh I begin to tell of the demons that are half-human, the demon I just fought known as a Haunter, and that some demons have rainbow color eyes and others just keep red eyes. I could've continued, but a sudden shiver came on to me and I grabbed her and hugged her tight concealing her from the thousand venomous needles firing from the dead carcass behind us. The needles hit my neck in two spots, my legs, and even through my jacket into my back quickly the venom spreads. In a matter of seconds my body collapses in her arms and my super senses start to fail all I can make out me the next few hours were the girl calling out for help, the guys moving me through the portal to the medical center, and looking to the side to see the girl again to think its been this long and she hasn't changed a bit. With what energy I have I say, "Never...again...Emily."
