(I'm really proud of this! 👆)
I followed Undertaker, now, slightly regretting my decision to follow him into a mass of demons. I gripped a container that Undertaker had given to me. In it was salt, along with a bottle of kerosene, a lighter, and a kitchen knife were all shoved in my pack. I had brought a rope, my brother's drone, extra batteries for the drone and its controller, a fire blanket for me, Aloise, and both Claude and Sebastian. Undertaker had brushed his hair back revealing the characteristic green eyes if the shinigami and held his scythe in his right hand.
"do you remember what I told you?" he said.
"yep, let's go," I replied shifting the combined weight of the packs into a more comfortable position.  I followed the grim reaper into the town and past several restraints. The people inside gave us questioning looks, but our matter was too urgent and we hurried away. Out steps trailed out of town and into another, less kept housing district. Finally, Undertaker turned onto a side street that opened up to forest. Faint growls and hisses reached my ears and I shuttered despite  myself.
"now would be a good time to assemble.... What ever that thing is and get the salt ready," Undertaker instructed. I nodded silently and began to work. I slipped the batteries into the drone, tied the ropes around its base, coated the ends if the ropes in kerosene, poured salt into an extra sheet and tied that to the end if one of Undertakers spare poles. I grabbed the controller.
"Remember to stay a good distance back, the demons already know you are in the vicinity." commented the Undertaker.
I took note that the hissing had louder.
"As I go in follow me with the....um...drain?"
"Drone," I corrected.
"Drone, and start the fires. I can't give you much time to untie the Butler's but I assume that is why you brought the knife?"
"Correct. I shouldn't need five seconds!" I smirked.
"The ropes binding them were doused in holly water, so I may have been wrong to think these demons were coming after you purely out if hunger."
The Undertaker looked at me and I tilted my head in question. " You think they had help?"
"where else would they get holy water and how would they have handled it to begin with?" he countered. I nodded my head. Silenty, the undertaker moved forward and I flicked on the drone. It came to hover just above my head and I pulled out the lighter and lit the ropes, the flames sent dancing. I watched through the camera and followed the Undertaker. He held up his hand for a moment and a sudden motion hit the side of the drone. I brought it back up. Undertaker had dealt with the demon but signalled for me to begin, pointing straight ahead. I sent the drone into a controlled spin, whipping a swirling mass of fire in all directions. From where I was sitting, I watched as the undertaker moved and from the corner of the camera's lens, I saw where the demons and Earl were tied up. I moved forward still carefully until I had reached the clearing. I quickly threw the sheets over the demons and Earl.
"NOW!" I shouted And the Undertaker sent salt particles flying through the air. The demons backed away, many hissing and steaming, but now they were less focused on the reaper and more on me. Three of them lunged instantly and were cut by the death scythe. I fumbled for my knife and began working on the ropes.
Sebastian raised his head, looked up at the swirling mass if flames more or less protecting us and said," What. The. Fuck. Is. That."
