Seven Devils

Chapter 9

Perrie looked at the mansion from afar, her heart beating fast as anxiety starts to settle into her system.  Adrenaline starts to pump through her veins, getting ready for the task at hand.  With this new found energy, she slowly took a few steps forward towards the house of devils, freezing in her tracks and ducking down behind a bush when she sees Leigh-Anne glancing out of a window on the second story, the devil's eyes narrowed as she observes the area.

"God...help me out here...I don't know what I'm doing.", she whispers as she looks up to the sky, hoping that the Lord would maybe give his angel a tip or advantage.  Sure she had a plan, but that plan would only work if she didn't get beaten to a pulp once she step foot inside the mansion.

She takes a deep breath, then slowly peers around the bush, trying to see if Leigh-Anne was still watching the area, but instead she found something strange.

It was as if she had x-ray vision all of a sudden, and she could see red dots moving around inside of the house, and she could only guess that they represented the devils.  She saw one red dot in the room she spotted Leigh-Anne earlier, and she saw it exiting and walking down the stairs.  She then saw two in the kitchen, one in a downstairs bedroom, one entering the kitchen to take a seat with the other two, and then another two upstairs.

When she blinked, the vision was gone, but she didn't worry too much about it, because she's already gathered all the information she needed.  She slowly got up from her hiding spot, making her way towards the door again.

She froze when she saw the doorknob jiggling a bit, and she didn't have enough time to run and hide before the door opened.

Next thing she knew, Perrie felt her back hit the ground with a great amount of force, hands clamping around her neck to cut off all air supply.  She looked up, not very surprised to see Leigh-Anne looking down at her with evil eyes.

"I knew you were going to try and save Jade.  I knew that Jesy was lying.", the girl growls, lifting Perrie's head only to smash it down against the ground once more.

"You're just mad because they tricked you.", Perrie breathes out as best she can, wheezing a bit because of the hands choking her.  "You're just mad because they're smarter than you.  Because they have more power than you."

Leigh's eyes widen, her eyes turning a dark reddish-brown, anger starting to course through her veins.  "NOBODY HAS MORE THAN ME!", she shouts, and Perrie knows she said the right thing to anger the girl.

"Jesy has more power over you, and that's why Harry has more trust in her than he does with you.  Jade has more appeal than you do, and that's why she needs to be saved.  Just face it, they're better than you, and they have more power."

"YOU LITTLE-"

"GET OFF HER!"

Perrie gasps for air once Leigh's body is knocked off of her, and she doesn't even have to look to know that it was Jesy who saved her.

She quickly get's back up onto her feet, turning around to face the two brawling devils.  Jesy obviously has the upper hand since she's much stronger than Leigh-Anne, but Perrie still worries a bit.

"GO PERRIE!", the fifth devil shouts, and Perrie nods before quickly turning back to run into the mansion.  She smiles to herself a bit as she enters the house, because she knows that greed and pride go together perfectly. 

She cautiously walks into the living room, looking around for the way to the kitchen.  She knows that most people wouldn't be seeking out danger in a situation like this, but it's a part of her plan, and she just hopes that it works.

The blonde hears muffled voices coming from a hallway to her left, so she turns on her heels and walks in that direction.  Something doesn't seem right though, and she stops, holding her breath as she listens for anything out of the ordinary.  Her x-ray vision suddenly returns, and she spots two red dots up ahead, but she knows there was three in that spot earlier.
