The Fight Against Evil

Chapter one

CHAPTER 1

I was running down Boulevard Street. As I ran sweat trickled down my temples and my back. I looked back to see if the demon was still there. Its glowing red eyes would always haunt my dreams, but I thought them mere nightmares. Caught up in my thoughts, I didn't have time to react to another identical demon that came out of the alley and grabbed me.

It wrapped its slimy, and scaly, long tentacle around my body, as I wiggled to get free. "Somebody help me!", "Please, anybody!" I shouted. But my cries went unanswered, because as it was, it was about 2:30 in the morning. The demon was slowly squeezing the life out of me.

Suddenly, a tall, young boy who looked around my age, came barreling down the street, towards me. At first I was afraid, but then I became very happy, at seeing the stranger. "Maybe I won't die after all" I wheezed out. The mystery boy pulled a large, sharp knife from under his black leather jacket. He threw it with a swift flick of his hand, making it cut through the demon's tentacle that was wrapped around me. Finally free from the demons' hold, I ran as quickly as I could away from the demons and mystery boy. At last minute I decided to stop, "Don't go back, don't go back" I said to myself, but I also thought it was not fair for me to run off without thanking the boy.

I slowly turned around, to see that the two demons were laying motionless on the ground. Their glowing red eyes now dull and lifeless, and the boy walking slowly away into the darkness.

Jan this is a bad idea I thought to myself, but never the less "Hey!" I exclaimed before I could stop myself. The boy turned, took a quick glance at me then continued walking. I jogged to catch up with him. The stranger turned to me and said sourly "What do you want?" I was taken aback for about five seconds then said "Well... I wanted to thank you". The stranger stopped glared at me then continued along his way. "You know for someone who just risked his life to save mine, you would think you would be more friendly towards me, rather than acting as if you wished you had let me die!" I shouted to the boy. I turned around angrily and marched off.

Out of nowhere the boy appeared in front of me. I was so startled and weak at that point, all I saw was black, and I fainted.
