      Police officers and an ambulance arrived at the School grounds. Erin held Amber's limp body as students poured out from the building to see the event. A clawed hand rested on Erin's shoulder. He looked up and saw Coribus grinning.

This is why you can't have friends. It's your fault she died. Now she's Serafeena's play toy. And all because you didn't listen. Erin cried even harder as the police officers took Amber's body into the ambulance leaving him alone.

Serafeena had vanished. She had completed her mission. She was no longer needed. Rain gently collided with the Earth. Coribus glared down at Erin. If you kill yourself, you'll see her again. What do ya say? Coribus handed Erin the same bloody blade Amber used to cut her throat. The blood was still runny.

Erin held it in his fingers looking up at Coribus like a helpless child. He flung the blade towards Coribus. The demon swatted it away from his face in mid air." Fuck you. Go torture someone who gives a shit." Erin let a few tears slide down his face. Maybe, if you kill a certain amount of certain people, then maybe just maybe I'll leave forever. Coribus smiled, clapping his hands." Murder? No. I'm not a dumbass Coribus."

Erin looked back to the road. The police and ambulance left to the hospital. However, it would be a lost cause. Well. I'll be here if you change your mind. Hahaha. Not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon or anything. The demon stood straight and tilted his head.

"What kind of people would I need to kill? How many?" Erin's eyes were fixed to the black asphalt as he cursed himself for even thinking about murdering people for a crazed demon.

Depressed people, the ones who need help, who put on a happy face for everyone around them only to go behind closed doors to cry. And you would need to kill at least 17. No let's make it an even 18, shall we? He stood towering in front of Erin. The demon held his black clawed hand out for Erin to shake.

" I'll do it. But only as long as you keep your end of the deal." Erin moved his hand towards Coribus' own.  Coribus grabbed onto Erins hand tightly causing him to yelp in pain. Hahahahaha. Your my bitch now Johnny boy. Coribus howled with laughter as thick black smoke gathered around the two.

Their surroundings changed. They were both standing in a dimly lit room. All of the windows were shut." Where are we?" Erin looked to his right. A boy not much older then him was sleeping in a twin sized bed. Your first kill. Coribus presented Erin with a carving knife.

Erin shakily wrapped his fingers around the knifes handle looking at his victim. He felt like he was going to be sick." I... I can't do this." Coribus began to yell and hiss. He scratched the walls leaving deep claw marks behind. Just do it you little shit! Coribus roared and ran up the walls then above on the ceiling. Erin looked at the boy laying peacefully in bed. His breathing was low and calming compared to Coribus' rampage. Erin raised the knife above his head.

" I'm sorry. Please, do forgive me." With one swift motion, the knife was in the boys throat. Erin jumped back in suprise as the boy awoke from his dreams into a living nightmare. The boy was gurgling on his own blood for a few seconds before he fell to the floor, staining the carpet with his dark red blood.

The life drained from him as he closed his eyes for the last time. Coribus smiled and climbed down from the ceiling. He took the knife out of the boys throat and made a cut down to his stomach. Erin threw up into the nearest corner if the room as Coribus spilled the boys gust out onto the carpet. Erin, don't you think this makes a fancy scarf?

Coribus had the boys large intestines wrapped around his neck, blood dripping down Coribus' front. He took the boys internal organs and stabbed them onto both of his horns parading around the room. The demon wiped blood across the walls leaving behind long dark streaks.

" Please stop. You aren't helping." Erin clutched his stomach as it ached. You'll get used to it johnny boy. Give it time to sink in. Imagine, this boy was planning to commit suicide tomorrow. We just got to him first. No harm done. Hahaha. Coribus ate the boys innards smiling as he wolfed them down. After his meal, Coribus wiped his hand across the boys face, a smear remained.

" Trust me you bitch. I'm not going to ever get used to doing this shit." Erin stood refusing to look at the boys mangled body. There was a shuffling downstairs." Danny. Are you alright sweety?" It was the soft voice of a women. Danny's mom." Shit. Coribus get us out of here." Erin whisper shouted to Coribus as the shuffling got louder.

Your on your own. Friend. Coribus faded away as he flicked his tongue out to lick Erins cheek." You bastard." Erin searched the room, frantically looking for a way out. He pried the window open and looked down. There was a twenty story drop. He was in an apartment building on the top floor." Fuck." Erin whispered as the women jiggled the doorknob. Erin quickly decided to jump, hoping he would maybe the fall would kill him, so he wouldn't have to kill more people.

As Erin was falling, he thought of Amber and how he had  loved  her and how he had lost her." See ya soon Amber." Erin smiled letting a small tear leak from his eye. His body hit the ground hard, snapping his neck as he died instantly.

Hahahaha. I can't believe you actually did it. Wooooo. Man if only you had done it sooner. Coribus stood over Erin's limp body. He placed his hand on Erin's neck. I still need you to kill for me. We shook on it.

Erin opened his eyes and gasped for air. Coribus had vanished into thin air." How am I alive?" Erin examined his hands. He flexed each of his fingers to be sure they worked." No." Erin jumped up as he heard screaming.

" John he's dead! He's  dead! Call 911!" Erins eyes widened as his heart began to race. His legs were running in the opposite direction of the apartment. He ran into a nearby wooded area of town to hide. The trees loomed over head like beasts blocking out the moonlight. Erin looked behind him whispering." I'm sorry."

Don't be. You did good. Coribus followed beside Erin smirking.
