I look back as we run to the car. The demons start walking towards us, and I thrust my hands out, making a barrier between us.
"Damn it! The tires are slashed!" I hear Jeff say.
"What do we do? We can't run, they're on all sides," Vinny says.
"Hey," Evan says, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Don't wear yourself out. They're coming. We'll be ready."
"But I have to protect you."
"No, you don't. We have to protect you."
I drop the shield and they run at us like a flood. I'd swear that they are zombies, but that's not wholly accurate. They are demons. Possessed by lesser beings than Habit and the Slender.
"Guys," Evan says, worry in his voice.
They're closing in and fast. I pick up a rock and throw it at the nearest one. Then I continue to do that, picking rocks up and throwing them at the demons.
"Pan, what are you doing?" asks Jeff.
"Something."
I throw my hand and a cluster of demons flies back into their ranks (they're three rows thick) and fall down. Then, I feel something about the air around us change. It is now electrically charged, like before a thunder storm.
"What is that?" Evan asks.
Suddenly, a demon breaks down my hidden barrier I'd kept up despite what Evan had said. I know instantly who it is. And this time, I run at him.
"No! Pandora!" Evan shouts, trying to reach me in time.
Habit grabs me and then I feel the world shift and change, and everything goes black.
