CHAPTER 10: A DEMON FANCY
I closed my eyes and took in deep breath. I failed, I thought I didn't know what to do anymore. I was blank. Where had Shinrogan taken Kazia? How would I ever know? That's what he wanted of course for me to suffer. He kills Kazia my best friend while I am left to perish with these demons. They won't kill me now of course; they will play around with my life and torture me because that's what demons do. And Shinrogan can be sure his fellow friends will do just that.
But I wasn't going to go down that easily. If he wanted to play an eye for an eye he should have picked someone else because I was not one for games. Once again I raised my sword.
"Come and get me assholes" I said.
I spun around and sliced of the head of a demon that came at me from behind. Yellow blood sprayed me and the other demons roared. All attacked at once getting closer trapping me in a circle. Excellent, I thought getting on my one knee. I brought my arms together at my chest, my sword resting vertically in front of me. With my eyes closed I uttered the spell and braced myself. Energy ripped from me, wind whipping my hair and clothes around. Roars and grunts sounded from the demons. I opened my eyes to see most of the demons sprawled on the ground. Satisfied with myself I couldn't help but smile.
"Typical" I muttered under my breath.
I stood up and walked in the direction I thought Shinrogan went when suddenly something large planted its feet in front of me. I took a defensive pose and pointed my sword at the hideous demon. Okay, so I missed one. He came at me and I plunged my sword in its chest. I fell on my back the demon covering me its putrid breath filling my nose. I screamed and tried to force it off me. I quickly uttered a shield spell. It erupted between us sending the demon flying of me. I hurriedly got to my feet my shield protecting me. The remaining demons jumped at me the shield preventing any contact with me. Too my horror I saw my shield fading.
Dammit I thought, my earlier energy blast took up most of my power. The larger demon came at me again this time I dodged his attack. I couldn't escape the assault of the other demons and eventually my shield dissipated. In utter desperation I fled hoping to out run the weaker demons and fight of the others. But I was abruptly stopped when the larger demon grabbed me and tossed me through the air.
I landed hard on my side and cried out in pain. Sometime during my artificial flight my faithful sword slipped from my fingers. Now without my main weapon I reached to my side and produced my short blade. The large demon was already close enough for me to smell its putrid stench and I tried to sit up but failed. Lying on the floor on my back armed with my short blade I pointed it shakily at the ugly demon. It grabbed the blade and tugged hard almost ripping my hand off then flung the blade over its shoulder grunting. I screamed at it in frustration and tried to get up again. This time I made it to my knees and quickly crawled away. I felt the disgusting hand around my ankle and knew what was going to happen. It pulled me towards it and I rolled on my back furiously kicking at the rotten looking hand. While it dragged me it reached down to take hold of my shoulders. The demon hauled me to my feet as I grabbed the shurikens at my back and sunk it into its chest twisting as acid like blood emerged from the wound. The smell was almost too much to bear but the demon had it worse. It screamed in fury or pain or whatever it was feeling and before I knew it I saw the world pass by in a blurr. It was only when I made contact with the tree and sink to the bottom did I realize the vile demon sent me flying again. Lying on my back without feeling my vision faded and then blackened as I passed out.

I opened my eyes to a pale face set against the darkness. Delano. "She's coming round" he said. I didn't know who he was talking to until I saw Jasper behind Delano.
