The Girl Stuck with Demons

chapter 14

And I was right I saw animals everywhere, either in land or in the sky and when they saw me they said hello then walked away. I hadn’t even noticed all of this until today “Diana is that you?” someone asked when I looked down it was a red panda with huge black eyes “Diana it is you!” he hugged me “It’s Jacky!” myself said I hugged him back knowing he is a friend “come, come Diana it’s been so long since I last seen you” Jacky held my hand and was dragging me until Loki came in and said “um, Jacky?” he turned and looked at him and said “Loki? Is that you, you look so different than before” then again started with the hugging and the dragging.

His house was a tree, like the one you see in a Keebler bag. It looked new but at the same time old with the leaves light green and the bark drack brown. Once all three of us were in Jacky’s house and comfortable Jacky said “so how’s life going Diana?” with a big smile on her face “um well, first um I’m not Diana, I’m Ivy” I said not feeling comfortable but the opposite “huh, but you have the same voice, face, and everything, you even have Loki with you how can you not be Diana?” he took the smile off his face and Loki said “we have a lot to talk about Jacky” I nodded and he sighed but nodded too.

Loki did all the story telling and when he finally ended Jacky said “well that explained why Da-Ivy looked so confused about me” he scratched his head. “I’m sorry” I said “that I’m not the Diana that you once knew” he shook his head and said “now I never said we couldn’t be friends” he smiled and I smiled back. “So what did happen to Diana?” he asked I answered and said “she’s inside my head, safe and sound” I pointed at my head and smiled “and bored” myself said.

We chatted for a while then Loki said “well we have to be going now, we have a lot to do” and with that we left. Something in me told me something is wrong, and I was certain it wasn’t myself this time I stayed quiet. “Ok, so now we are going to teach you how to fight with a sword” Loki said I nodded “don’t worry we will learn fast it’s really simple” myself. We actually did finish faster than I thought Jacky came by the house every day to bring snacks and drinks for us, but I could never shake off the feeling that he was up to something. I didn’t say anything of course though, mostly because he was a good friend of me and Loki. As days past I felt more at home and in some nights when I was keeping watch I thought of my fake family and how they are doing how Briana is doing and sometimes even Mike. But most of those nights me and myself talk about our past and one day finally told me how I came to be.

“You’re actually just a spirit that I killed in a fight” myself said I was surprised to hear this because I actually thought I had no life than this one “I thought you had a special something inside you, and I was right” myself said “do you want to know your real name” I nodded and myself said “Lucy” then she stayed quiet,that conversation didn’t last long but I was happy that I was a real person after this. I’m also glad that we had meet because this life is so adventures, and it feels like a story made out of book. It also kept me on my toes, which I think is good. I thought of what my life would have been like before all this but it didn’t work out so well, it wasn’t until Loki tapped my shoulder and told us to switch. As usual I slept like a rock, which I could never know why either from being tired or my mind thinking it will be the last time I will sleep.

When I wake up I follow the normal routine that was to cook food (which Jacky kindly brought us) and wake up Loki…..wait Loki was usually awake. I ran to him as I kneeled down I saw he was still breathing, I sighed in relief, I drag him to bed and make sure he is not injured. Which he wasn’t but there was something wrong that Loki had fallen to sleep and I’ll ask him what when he woke up, but he never did wake up. I kept watch of him staying by his side I watched to see if he moved anything but his chest, which thankfully was moving up and down. I didn’t know what to do and myself knew exactly what to do, as usual “he’s been casted a sleep spell” myself said “it’s a real easy spell to cast, so anyone could have done it” I nodded “so what do we do to wake him?” she stayed quit for a minute then said “we can’t do anything, the spell is to keep the person asleep for however long they want, and I believe that an enemy did this so I think it will take a while”. I sighed I hoped it was soon that Loki woke up, for the rest of the day I made sure he was Hydrated even so he didn’t need food and I had to practice alone since Loki wasn’t here Jacky didn’t come to the house which was odd but I didn’t do anything.

The next day he didn’t wake up either I wasn’t really worried knowing that one day he will wake up I did the same as yesterday, eat, practice fighting, give Loki water, and eat again. Jacky didn’t come today either and as yesterday I didn’t do anything I didn’t sleep much since it was only me now and I didn’t want anything to happen to Loki and when I slept I kept dreaming of this one dream that I had once in my old life. I always find myself in this forest with all these weird plant and animal, and I will always hear something in the bushes. When I get to the bushes it was always Alex that pops out and knocks me in the ground then I would see David smiling always saying something that I would never catch. Then Alex would come and will try to kill me but by then I would wake up.

I think the dream is trying to tell me something but I never thought of why since I had other things to worry about. Loki still hasn’t woken up and I think the Angels and Demons guard are catching up to us. By the time I was really getting worried was when it got to a whole month that Loki didn’t wake up “ok now we really know that an enemy did this” I said “well since it was an enemy he won’t be waking up soon” I sighed and I finally got a nerve to go Jacky’s house because ever since the day Loki went to sleep he never came to visit. “I think Jacky has something to do with this” I said to myself “what, but he is a friend he wouldn’t do me harm” myself answered “not unless he was bribed, or threatened” I said back to her.

I ran to his house with Loki in my back (I didn’t want him to be alone) as I got there it looked the same like it did last time we were here. With the light green leaves and the drack brown bark but once we got inside the house looked like we entered something totally different. The living room was a mess, the couch was torn to pieces, lamps and tables were broken into bits, a TV was lying on the ground broken to bits there was also blood on the walls, and before I want to search more of the house I put Loki on the torn up couch. As I went to the kitchen it wasn’t any better than the living room but worse, there were plate’s pieces on the floor pots and pans on the floor under a hole they might have made but there was more blood here than in the living room. “It was him” I said to myself “no, I couldn’t….he wouldn’t” she said “like I said either bribed or threatened and it seems here he has threatened”. I went upstairs (I have never been up here before) there was only four doors, two on each side but only one was fully opened. As I went inside I wasn’t surprised but I did hate that I was right, it was horrible. The bed was literally torn to pieces, the drawer was taken apart thrown everywhere, sheets and blankets were one the ground glass was in the floor but the worst was that there was blood everywhere and there was Jacky on the floor covered with what I think is blood but you couldn’t tell with his red fur coat.

I buried him next to his house and I also cleaned him up, there was more blood on him then I thought but I cleaned him up good. I couldn’t stop sobbing, which for me is weird to hear because I thought she couldn’t cry. I say “please stop, your sobbing is making me want to cry” she tries to but it doesn’t work I sigh and get up. We went inside to get Loki he was still in the same place I placed him, on the torn up couch “well at least there’s a good side to this” I say myself sobs some more but then said “and that is?” I get Loki on my back and start heading outside “we know there here, so now we have to run” I say.
