Dark...
Darker...
Yet dark---

Before you could finish the reference in your head, you hitted the ground face first, the pain knocking you back into reality.

Y/N: "*grunts*...fuuuuck, that hurts..." you touched your face to check if your nose was broken. Luckily for you, it wasn't. You looked around, trying to find Marcus, noticing him fallen on the ground. "Hey! Marc, get up!" You say as you shake him a bit.

Marcus: "Just... 5 more minutes... " he said, not even looking at you.

Y/N: "Are you sleeping?"

Marcus: "Nope... just waiting for the pain to stop." He responded, with a light groan while he rolled over to look up at you. You rolled your eyes, getting on your feet and reaching to grab his arm, to pull him up as well.

Both of you looked around to see were you ended up. You were in the middle of a square shaped hole, on top of an pentagram surronded by 6 torches, and only one way out in the form of a wide gap in the wall. Looking up, you also notice the blood-red sky. Marcus looked down at his digital watch. The numbers were flickering. Well, this is a good sign...

Y/N: "So, is this what hell looks like? Not gonna lie, i was expecting a little more."

???: "Trust me, humans, this is just the entrance. You haven't seen anything yet!" A voice echoed, making the brothers turn around, slowly walking backwards towards the gap, in case you two needed to run.

There was nothing at first, until 2 hands came out of the pentagram, pushing the rest of the body up.

The creature had a body similar to a human's, being very tall and muscular. It had pitch-black skin and was wearing a reddish brown 'armor', that make it look like a skeleton. It's face was weird, it had circular eye sockets, with a small white lights for eyes. The face was also similar to a skull, but the curve of the 'lips' make it look like it had a permanent smile on his face, along with two horns on the sides of his head.

You didn't waste much time, putting your hand inside the bag, grabbing the revolver and aiming at the creature, hoping that would keep him at bay.

???: "Oh damn! The boy's packing heat, too! Looks like you came prepared." He said, almost in a mocking tone. "But let me tell ya: this six shooter of your ain't gonna do much for the folks around here."

You keep the gun raised, but he could see that you started to sweat a little, probably a mixture of the hot air and the the tension building up.

???: "...Well, you can still try it. Then again, are you really ready to shot another sentient be-" before he can finish, you unload all six shots, all of the hitting him in the chest, neck and face. He was slightly pushed back by then, but most of the bullets fell on the ground, with him catching one in his teeth. "Well shit, i guess you are!" He said as he got his balance back.

You start reloading the gun, but as you swing it to the side to close the barrel, a hand comes from behind, grabbing the gun and enveloping your hand as well. It looked just like the other.
