The Devil's Game

Chapter twenty eight

Just as we finished with the plan, it came back. We parted our ways. Running around an unknown neighborhood that I don't know. I can feel the presence of it. Slowing down I glanced over my shoulder.

I'm alone in the dark neighborhood. Taking a hike through the neighborhood, I felt alone. I don't know what time it is, I'm hungry, thirsty. The wind blew through my hair. Wrapping my arms around each other to stay warm. Quiet, peaceful.

All those loving families in their cozy home sleeping peacefully. Love it if that was me.

Glancing over my shoulder, I spot Justin coming towards me. Grateful he's okay, I ran into his arms.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

"Me too."

His voice is more husky than usual. Immediately my gut told me to run, that he's dangerous. That he's not Justin.

My reflexes hit me running away from him. He followed me as I made my way back to the "camp" for Satan to deal with. I screamed when he caught me and dragged me down. Before I knew it, someone screamed. "Hey! Over here! Come and get me!"

Hudson started running away when the demon ditched me. I got up and ran to the base. I was the first one there. Satan waited for me with a questioning look as there is no one following me. "He's following Hudson from the last I remember."

He nodded. Getting ready, Kristy came in with it following behind her. Everyone's gathering around as Kristy made her way to us. Zooming past us, Satan opened a portal just in time for the demon to go into his cage. Once he enters, a bright yellow light flashes and he is shaking uncontrollably.

He shatters and we look away.

Looking back, the demon smashes to the ground feeling powerless. He changes from a full black costume, to a fearful teen kid.

"Well Cory, you'll be spending time in jail for a very long time."

"S-Satan."

"Yes. For what you did, you will be paying the price."

He closed the portal leaving the poor kid to spend the rest of his soulless life in Hell prison. Mason explained to us kids about Cory from years ago. Explaining the story of how kids and teachers would bully him. Even his family. He was abused both mentally and physically. No one liked him, but one girl. But it was just a prank. So one day he got into paranormal games and somehow transformed himself into this demon.

"Since then he's been taking people who were mean and cruel to him. He had so fun that he started taking anyone he so chooses."

For a kid like him, it's quite a sad story, but he did deserve it. We said goodbye to each other and Satan transported us to our homes. It felt like years since I've been in here. Walking through the garage, my parents still haven't returned. Which is good.

Heading to my room, I stripped my clothes, took a quick shower. Crawling into my soft cozy bed, I set my alarm for the morning, and went straight to bed.

Falling asleep instantly.
