The Darkness in all of us

Chapter Seven, Home

Zach and Rose ran. They started heading towards the exit but realized that they still need to find where Mich was. They turned around and ran as fast as they could to find Mich. As they were running through the castle, they came across another person in a black cloak. They were worried that he would try to kill them like the shadow king. But as they approached him, they realized that he wasn't hurting or trying to attack them. They asked the man in the cloak where they were. He replied with,
"who are you?"
"I'm Zach and she's Rose. Now, where are we?" said Zach.
"You are in the dimension of evil death and misery. You are in the shadow dimension!" exclaimed the man in the cloak.
Zach and Rose were confused and only replied with
"uh?".
"You humans call this place hell," said the man.
"Ok, that makes sense," said Rose.
"That makes sense to you?" asked Zach.
"Well, I just went back in time, made friends with your clone, he got kidnapped by the devil himself and now we are in hell. Ya, by now, this makes sense," said Rose.
"Well, why are you here?" asked the man.
"Uh, we can tell you later," said Rose.
"Oh, how rude of me. My name is Yin," said the man.
"Oh, Yin is a great name," said Rose.
"We don't have time for this, Rose!"
"Hey, you are not the..."
Rose had been interrupted by a loud thumping noise. All of them glanced behind them, seeing a gigantic mass of blackness rushing towards them screaming
"Zach!!!"
All three of them ran for their lives. While running, Yin said, "Why does father have to act like this!?"
"Father?" questioned Zach.
"Ya, he's my dad. He is never in a good mood," said Yin.
"Of Course the devil who created hypnotic shapeshifting bugs has a son," said Rose. As they were running, Zach noticed a sign that read prison cells.
"There!" shouted Zach turning towards the hallway where the sign hung.
"Wait up!" yelled Rose and Yin simultaneously running after Zach.
As they reached the end of the hall, they saw a sign reading
"quỷ beetle 1645/Mich".
"That's him!" shouted Zach.
They opened the door but the cell was empty. The only thing left was a paper. Zach grabbed it but was interrupted before he could read it. The shadow king was stomping down the hallway saying
"Are you looking for this?" while Mich was hanging in his hand.
"Father stop they are nice!" exclaimed Yin.
"Son? What are you doing with these rebel intruders?"
"Wait that's why you are here? To get a rebel?" questioned Yin.
"I'm sorry, Mister?"
"Daku. I prefer to go by Daku," said the devil
"I'm sorry, Daku, for intruding. I just wanted my friend back," said Zach.
Daku's staff's eye closed for a second and when it did Daku said
"Fine, you can have him but this won't be the last we meet,".
He tossed Mich to Zach but before anyone could say anything a portal opened beneath them sending Mich, Zach, and Rose home.
