Part 11

Jax sprinted up the stairs to the 16th floor and fought the beasts in his way of his goal, he wanted to beat this, get past it, to come out of this a hero. He was going to make sure he stopped this no matter what. He yelled as he cut through the last beast on the 16th floor. Jax was angry, he wasn't backing down.
    He made it to the door and walked through it onto a staircase, he could hear Kai's sobbing from the floor below him, he debated going back and staying with Kai but he decided to continue on. He walked through the doors and walked up the stairs and then he heard Lazaro's laugh from the room in front of him but it was off, something was different.

    I walked into the room, I was amazed by how beautiful it really was in here. Lazaro was sitting on a throne with an evil smile on his face.
"Aw you didn't give me time to get ready, that's rude Jaxon." He said with a sarcastic tone. I wasn't going to care about anything he said or did.
I'm. Going. To. Kill.  Him.

    Jax looked at the king of demons with an icy cold stare, "I'm going to kill you."
    "Are you now?" The demon king laughed.
    "I'll make you pay for what you've done."
    "And I'm going to rip you apart." Lazaro was suddenly serious.
    "Not if I rip you apart first!" Jax yelled as he ran at him with his swords drawn and tears in his eyes.
    The demon king changed into his true form, a 20 foot beast with black horns and red claws. His eyes were red and his fur was a dull black. Lazaro smelled awful, like rotting eggs and death.
    "I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU, LITTLE HERO!!" Lazaro yelled, his voice deep and scratchy with an evil glimmer in his eyes.
    Jax runs at the beast who was once his companion and attacks with no mercy, each attack was easily blocked by Lazaro, Jax tried and tried to land a hit but got nowhere. Lazaro takes the opportunity to attack Jax, he knocks Jax back to a wall, the wind was knocked out of him.

    I looked up to see Lazaro above me, he had knocked the wind out of me, he was smiling and laughing. I tried getting up to only be pushed back down on my ass. He raised his sword and then I felt burning, my stomach hurt... I looked down to see his sword in my gut and I scream out, unable to contain this pain.

    Jax yelled in pain as Lazaro carved into him while laughing hysterically, he was insane.
"I.. I'm not giving up that easy..." Jax said in a whisper full of pain.
Lazaro took Jax by his shirt and then stabbed him through the gut and stabbed the wall behind him and stuck Jax there. He weakly grabbed the sword and tried to free himself but couldn't.
I could feel myself losing blood, it burned... My vision was fading and it was hard to breathe, I needed to kill this demon.. I will kill him.
    Jax yelled and regained some strength, enough to attack once more. This new found strength surprised Lazaro and he jumped back now without a weapon.
Jax attacked the demon and gave no mercy, dripping blood throughout the room he fought.
    "I. WILL. KILL. YOU." Jax screamed as he went in for another attack, Lazaro easily dodged it and got his sword back from behind Jax.
    "You're finished little hero." Lazaro said with a smirk.
He knocked Jax off his feet and laughed as Jax hit his head on the floor.

I hit my head on the floor and my vision blurred, I couldn't breath... I was going to die like this, on the floor, no help, no will to live.
I looked up as Lazaro stabbed me through my chest, breaking my ribs and splattering blood on his clothes and walls, I gasped for air and looked at him with hate. He kept stabbing, laughing the whole time, showing no remorse.
Suddenly I couldn't feel anything, there was no pain, only numbness. Everything was white, everything was peaceful.
Was I dead?
