Trapped

Suits

"We're supposed to persuade her? How?", I asked Stephanie who was sitting in the passenger seat of my Corvette.
"You have many... gifts that have been given to you by your mother. You have the power of persuasion, entering different levels of Limbo willingly, and I'm pretty sure you can fly as I can. I'm sure you have man-"
"Fly? Like you? With black wings? Wow my life long dream."
"Okay your sarcasm isn't appreciated and it isn't funny so shut up and stop cutting me off"
"Fine, sorry continue."
"I'm sure you have many more gifts of talents or whatever you want to call them, and that you'll unlock them the more you begin to understand yourself.
'It's like leveling up in a video game,' is what my father told me when I first began to receive mine hahah."
"Wow this is a lot. Can we stop for a smoothie or something because I really need to think of something else right now before my freakin' head explodes."
I turn the car into a Sonic parking lot ready to order when Stephanie smacks me and I slam on the brakes.
"WhY did you just do that?!", I yell as I grab my now throbbing cheek.
"We are not getting smoothies while your delusional therapist summons the devil to rat out his daughter!! Now turn this car around right now or so help me..."
"Alright alright! You sound like my grandma..."
I quickly try to exit out of the parking lot but the exit is blocked by a black SUV without a license plate.
"Move it!", I say while honking the horn twice.
Instead of moving, the driver exits the vehicle wearing an all black suit that was obviously not tailored to his size, and black sunglasses. He begins walking towards my car.
I roll down my window and poke my head out as he approaches.
"What's the problem man? I have places to go," I say with as much patience as I could gather. This guy was walking creepily slow towards me.
"Charlie, roll up the window, this guy isn't normal. You have to get out of here right n-"
Before Stephanie can finish her sentence, I turn around to the window to notice the man standing there all of a sudden. How did he get here so fast?? He reaches into my car and yanks me out the window as if I were the weight of a puppy.
"GET OFF OF ME WHAT ARE YOU DOING?? HELP!"
The man begins dragging me back towards his SUV without saying a word and with little effort despite my struggling. Where was everyone? Is no one seeing this? Then, in an instant, I saw a wave of black appear over me and then barrel into the man with the suit. He let go if me and flew backwards about a hundred feet. I looked up to see Stephanie hovering over me with her wings flapping and an angry look on her face.
"HE WORKS FOR MY FATHER, GET OUT OF HERE NOW!"
I don't give her the opportunity to tell me twice. I get up and run back to my car and jump inside. The engine is still running but before I pull off, I see the guy in the suit begin to tremble and grow larger. His suit rips and his skin begins to turn black. He grows twice his original size in under 3 seconds and his muscles become larger than ever. Stephanie couldn't stand a chance against him by herself. Its then where I make a decision. I put the Corvette Stingray into gear and begin to speed backwards. Then, I shift to drive and floor it straight towards the transforming creature. I hit the creature with such force you would have thought it would have been dead upon impact but something much different happens. The car bends around the creature as if I hit a 200 ton steel pole and I fly through the windshield and land directly on the other side of the fence separating the Sonic parking lot and the sidewalk. I can feel a warm liquid running down my forehead and my left arm is tingling.
"Charlie!" I heard Stephamie scream somewhere to my right. I try to turn to her but quickly stop and wince in pain as there is glass in my neck. Suddenly the commotion of fighting stops and I hear a sound like a butter knife being sliced slowly through an apple and I hear two large thumps hit the ground. I try my best to turn and see a decapitated head of a dark purple demon with a suit on before I pass out.
* * * * *
I wake up in my apartment on my couch. As I sat up my head began to throb and my entire body ached. I felt like I had been thrown out of a freight train into a lake and forced to swim back to shore.
"You're honestly such a baby." Stephanie says as she walks over to me eating an apple. She looks as if she belonged in a photo shoot with her long hair the color of afire as her pale but flawless skin. She had a beautiful body that only a model could have and she seemed like the type of person every high school girl was jealous of. For some reason her face began to flush red and she looked away from me. What was she so embarrassed about? OH! She can read my thoughts!
"Umm.." I say as I try to think of something to distract her from my thoughts.
She takes another bite into her apple and quickly shakes the flustered look from her face. replacing it with her usual carefree look.
"My father sent a demon from Hell to bring me back to Hell and kill you." She said that statement so nonchalantly that I couldn't help but laugh because of how unbelievable it seemed. After a few seconds of laughing, she rolled her eyes at me which made me stop.
"Why does your dad want me dead?"
A look flashes across her face but before I can decipher the emotion it quickly disappears.
"I don't really know.." She says as she takes another bite into her apple, this time avoiding eye contact. She knew something more. i then became very angry because she was hiding things from me and in turn putting my life in danger.
"Tell me!" I snapped. Ashe then looked up and I jumped back. Her eyes were no longer green but yellow and she had a fixed stare with a cold face free of emotion. She then spoke in a trance-like voice,
"My father wants you dead because it is prophesied that you are the one to trap him and his demons in hell for an eternity." She then blinked very hard and her eyes were back to normal. What had just happened? Did I do that? Trap the DEVIL in hell? Is she crazy?
"Umm.. why did I just say that? What did you do to me?"
"I don't know," I said, standing up. The cloth that had been covering me had fallen away. I had not noticed that I was shirtless either, and so I limped over to the kitchen area, confused as to why Stephanie was staring at me. But she wasn't staring at me.. she was staring at.. OH! I didn't have pants on! She quickly looked away and giggled. I ran to my bedroom as fast as I could with my injuries and put on some jeans and a T-Shirt. When I came back out, she was sitting on the couch, flipping through channels.
"Soo.. how am I supposed to "trap" Satan in Hell? Is that even possible?"
"I'm not supposed to talk to you about this. I shouldn't even be here now. I have to go, I will see you later tomorrow night. Be dressed at 8:00, we have things to do. Also, I replaced you car because I felt bad about you wrecking it for me. Bye." She gave me a light wave before abruptly disappearing in a black cloud of smoke with a flash. I plopped onto the couch and winced. What is going on with my life?
