I wake up with a raging headache and groggily pull myself out of bed. As I begin walking to the kitchen I realize I'm more wobbling then I am walking. I grip the wall trying not to fall as a pulse of pure pain passes through my head. I stumble to a drawer and pull out a bottle of Ibuprofen and pour it all out on the counter taking 6 with an already opened beer.
"Well...Today's turning out great." I say slightly chuckling.
I grab my phone and keys heading to my car. When I get in I start the engine and head to Laney's house dialing up her mother.
"Hello?" She says, picking up the phone.
"It's Lucifer, I'm Oscar-mike." I respond without thinking.
"Huh?" She responds.
"Oh, um. I'm on the way." I say quickly hanging up.
I toss the phone into the passenger seat and sigh, speeding up the car
As I get to the Campbell's house I sit at the dinner table explaining what happened the night before, or atleast the fake story that won't get me sent to a mental hospital.
"So where are the girls?" I say noticing their absence.
"They're out on a club vacation doing research work." She replies getting up to clear the dishes.
I nod and thank her while I head out to my car. I fish my keys out of my pocket unlocking the car door and getting in, starting the engine. I drive off to my house and halfway there I call Izmar.
"Hello?" She picks up.
"Where are you?" I say bluntly.
"Hunting in Utah." She replies.
"How? And what?" I say confused.
"We took a bus and I don't know yet." She says opening a door.
"Alright, I'll be there in a day." I say then hang up taking the next intersection onto a highway.
I pull into the parking space of the Motel 6 and get out knocking on the girls door. When I get no answer I open the door walking in, seeing that the lock looks like it was kicked in and blood on the floor I check around seeing sulfur near the edge of the door.
"Demons. Interesting." I say as I look to see what the girls were hunting.
I go to my car and bring in two sawed off double barrels, and an angelic knife. I also grab my black duster throwing it on over my vest, it flows down to just above my ankles and flares up in a standing collar. I shove several extra shells into its pockets and sheath my knife. I shove the double barrels into the inside pockets and close the trunk getting in my car and driving off towards the abandoned warehouse the girls are being kept at.
By the time I got to the warehouse it was night, I don't know what time exactly but the only illumination was the lights around the compound.
I could see about seven demons patrolling the outside. I shake my head knowing there's probably triple that inside.
"Well this is quite a mess." I say annoyed.
I park my car and walk towards the gate pulling the knife from its sheath. The first demonic guard walks towards me and I shove the knife under his chin then throw it into the skull of the guard next to him. I walk over picking the knife out of the mans skull and walking to the next group of demons.
I silently walk up the flight of stairs outside the warehouse and jump down stabbing the knife into the back of one demon and run up putting my hand over another's mouth stabbing her through the solar plexus. I turn to stab the sixth demon only to be knocked over by some hulk of a man.
I grab for the knife and he kicks it away then kicks me a few feet into a near by wall. I stand up and dodge one of his punches pressing my hand to his skull killing the demon inside as a red flash shoots from his eye sockets and mouth.
I pick up the knife ducking under the last demons punch and stabbing him in the stomach. As the last demon drops I walk into the warehouse and put the knife away. I pull out the two sawed offs and walk towards the large overhead door on the otherside.
I tap my gun on the door waiting for the demons to show.
"C'mon you lot. I know you smell me." I yell into the compound.
seventeen demons all walk out and one runs towards me starting off the pack.
"I shoulda worn a cowboy hat." I say chuckling and pointing the gun at the demon blowing it several feet backwards as its shot.
I unload the salt rounds into three more demons then drop the guns and unsheathe the knife slicing into a demon and throwing another over my shoulder stabbing it in the chest. The next one grabs me from behind and I tuck my arms then spin slitting its throat. One punches me square in the chest sending me against the overhead door making a loud clang.
I pull the demons soul out of its body and burn it then knee the other demon and smite it with a large red flash. I throw the body aside picking up my double barrel and loading it with two more shells emptying them into two more demons. By the time I'm done I'm out of shells and I drop the gun walking over to the chain to open the overhead door. I open it and see a man in a black dress suit standing above Laney, torturing her.
"Ah! Perfect! I'm so glad you could make it Lucifer, it's been to long since you last visited me." The man says.
"Which one are you so we can get this over with?" I say crossing my arms.
"My name is Abaddon. I'm torn that you don't remember me." He says pretending to pout.
"Don't be so disappointed, my memory is a little fuzzy." I say walking over to the ledge.
"Oh then let me remind you why I am the king of hell." He says, eyes flickering red.
