Enchanted Romance

Saving Luci

"Hey asshole!" Bean said when she saw Big Jo standing by his wagon. He was holding a limp and bloody Luci by the neck. She ran at the exorcist, kicking him in the face, causing him to stumble back and drop Luci to the ground, who groaned when his body hit the ground with a heavy thud. 

 "LUCI!" Bean shouted, concerned for her friend (crush), running over to him. Bean didn't notice the figure standing over her until it was almost too late, almost. Quickly bringing her sword up to block the exorcist's, she slowly stood, anger in her eyes. Pushing him away, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Elfo had yet to dismount his horse. 

 "Elfo! A little help please?" this seemed to shock Elfo out of his trance, as he jumped off his horse and ran to help Bean. Elfo grabbed his knife, brandishing it, he ran at Big Jo, stabbing him in the thigh. Big Jo screamed, angry, he grabbed Elfo, holding a knife to the delicate little elf's neck. 

"Put down the sword and step away from the demon, else, I'll slit his throat." said the crazy exorcist.

"Bean, don't do it!" said Elfo. 

"Throw me the demon, and you and your elf may leave in peace." Said the exorcist.

"Ok," Bean said, smirking, "catch!" She yelled, throwing her sword at him. 

The sword went straight through the exorcist's arm, like a warm knife through butter. Bean was grateful that she hadn't hurt Elfo with the sword. 

"You haven't defeated me yet!" yelled the clearly deranged exorcist, who grabbed the knife which was still logged in his thigh, and threw it. Just then, Elfo jumped up, Jo's arm in hand, and slapped him with it, causing him to fall into the volcano.

"Now you have!" yelled Big Jo as he plumeted into the volcano.

Elfo had, luckily, doged the knife, which flew through the air, heading for Bean. Bean turned and cringed waiting for the whit hot pain she knew would be coming, but, it never came. Instead, she heard a pained grunt, followed by dull thud, like a body hitting the ground. She opened her eyes and was horrified to see Luci lying in the dirt with a knife sticking out of his right shoulder and a puddle of deep crimson blood pooling around the demon, whose skin now had a very dark gray color to it, much paler than his usual pure, jet black appearence.

"LUCI!" she yelled, scrambling over to her fallen friend.

Elfo turned at Bean's horrifed scream and ran over to where she and Luci were.

"Oh God, Luci!" he screamed.

He looked at Luci's unmoving body. His small body was littered with cuts and bruises, blood was caked onto his skin, along with dirt. A large gash ran from the tip of his left shoulder, diagonally across his stomach. His body was also covered in what looked like burns, but, that was impossisble right? After all, he had seen Luci dive into fire on multiple ocations. Luci often looked completely at home when he was in the fire. Soon, Elfo noticed the most horrifing thing of all, Luci wasn't breathing, he looked completely dead.
