Trapped in Todd’s white, windowless van, I was slowly melting away, doomed to the same fate that Todd had suffered. Through the wildly loud beeping, I could hear something stomping wildly in my direction while I was trapped by my own melting shoes on the floor of Todd’s van. Nothing could make this situation any worse unless some random fire broke out or the Lord almighty decided to flood the Earth again. I was up against it now, something had to break free if I was going to make it out alive now.
My brain had begun to release itself from the grasp of the capsules, the fog was clearing which led me to the realization that death was about ninety-nine percent assured right now. I needed Jackson and Jennifer, I needed them to save me. The stomping began to slow but it increased in volume and severity, whatever it was had arrived at my location and was ready to begin whatever its task was. Blinded by the sweat from the unnaturally hot inside o
Demon Sarah had indeed reincarnated herself, she was back, stronger than before, and ready to really strike at the heart of the ones I love. Her form had changed in shape, she seemed more robust, more vibrant than I remembered. It was my thought that demon Sarah would continue to morph each time we killed her, returned her to hell, and she revived herself. We had to play this smart, capture and detain, grab and neutralize, instead of kill and repeat, like a video game that gets harder with each level you advance to. Luckily for us, Jennifer, Todd, and Jackson were all back and ready for action. It was true, we had no time to relax or plan, catch our breath and clear our minds, but we had a fight, nonetheless. Demon Sarah was back and would not allow us the time to gather ourselves and properly prepare for a proper war. That was fine, I would rather be prepared but I was down for yet another fight, as long as we did not lose anyone.
Without warning, demon Sarah struck out at Jennifer and me. She managed to learn a new transcendental sprint or something along those lines as her approach was sudden and instant. The only thing I saw was a few streaks from behind her and suddenly she was on me. Jennifer gave her a specially charged chop to the throat as we scrambled to gain control of this situation. So, we were definitely dealing with an increase in speed but what was her strength like? That question was answered very quickly as I was tossed thirty feet back into my neighbor's yard and Jennifer was held with one hand by demon Sarah. Seems as if Sarah had no trouble dealing with two of us but had she forgotten about the other two, Jackson and Todd, who were sneaking up behind her to get the attention off of Jennifer. With a flick of her wrist, Sarah tos
This was about as bad as things could go for the humans as Todd had suffered some sort of injury due to demon Sarah's spinning laser attack. Jennifer and I were beaten up but otherwise not too bad off. Jackson had eaten a supercharged fireball that he created, and demon Sarah used its own momentum to send it back at him ten times as painful. She got him right in the head much like how she had shot me in the head which led to my fall through the portal to hell in Mrs. Tannell’s living room. Jackson sprinted to Todd as he continued to dodge the lasers being zapped from Sarah's fingertips. I had drawn close to her and felt as if she had finally dropped her guard or was unable to focus as clearly as she needed to in order to protect herself. Now, if I could just get my arms around her, we would be set. Just as I lunged out to grab her, demon Sarah caught me with a right hoo
Jennifer sprinted away the few feet to Todd’s windowless white van. Jackson sat next to Todd on the road as his body seemed to have ceased drifting away into the darkness. The van door slammed shut as Jennifer yanked herself into the driver’s seat. The van growled and hissed, but it would not fire up. I had forgotten that the demon that tried to kill me but inadvertently saved me had zapped the hell out of the van and probably fried some pretty serious parts that the van needed to work properly.Jackson’s head turned quickly as he heard the van struggling to fire up, he knew how serious this was and that we needed the van if there was even the slightest of chances that we would be able to get Todd some help. It did not take long for him to get there, as he quickly and repetitively smacked the crap out of the painted flaking hood. Each slap with his hand sent millions of tiny paint particles in the air, a poisonous type of
All Jennifer and I wanted to do was get to the school with Todd and Jackson unconscious in the back of Todd's rust bucket of a van. Sure, neither of us had a driver's license but we could not exactly call anyone to help as we were dealing with demons and not regarding human problems. I did not intend on crossing over the centerline, that was certainly not a part of the plan. The officer had every right to pull us over but that created a large problem for all of us. Jennifer had met a few of the police officers in town, she had a rough childhood. "Just act cool, do not freak out, and respond clearly and concisely. If it goes badly, I got your back. Trust me," she said. As the officer approached Todd's windowless white van, he rested his hand in his firearm and I instantly began to panic. Just the show of authority and
We pulled up in front of the school, the prison style gates were shut, but we all knew that the school gates were unable to be locked and secured. The trouble we had was trying to get Todd inside of the school, as I have stated eight hundred times in this story, he is a large man, and it was just Jennifer and me. I had been at this school long enough to learn that the laboratory, at the far end of the school, gave us direct access to the building and had a lock that did not function properly. The school administrators knew about this, but nothing had ever happened, so it did not constitute the budget to fix it. A litany of cars were heading my way as I sat behind the driver’s seat without even having as much as a learner’s permit. I let the windowless white van with the severely crippled hood idle in the middle of the road, the last thing we needed was some more attention on the tw
Old Mrs. Williams with her fucking poodle cinched up to her chest, pulled out her cellphone, an old Nokia ‘could survive a nuclear blast’ style phone and started pressing buttons. There was no way I was going to allow Mrs. Tannell to get involved in this situation, Todd and Jackson, Demon Sarah, us in the school, so action had to be taken to ensure we remained free to operate without any interferences. Jennifer stood with me as we watched our future unfold before our eyes, this old bag was going to ruin everything. Jennifer and I looked at each other, neither wanting to make the move that we knew we had to make. Undoubtedly, the situation was going to escalate one way or the other, we should just take control and escalate it how we want it. I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed the phone from Mrs. Williams' skeletal hand. The way her body reacted was beyond hilarious, as she reacted like she had been punched in the face by a very large man.
Cleaning up a destroyed body, especially a hundred-year-old dead body, is not as easy as it sounds. Jennifer and I had to get to Todd, but we just could not leave Mrs. Williams’ dead corpse, however many pieces she was blown into, lying around on the ground outside of the school laboratory. Tomorrow was a school day, and this place would be riddled with nosey little kids and intuitive, barely, adults swarming the school like ants on an ant hill. Just as Jennifer and I began to clean up the remnants of Mrs. Williams, a disconcerting noise rumbled from inside Todd’s windowless white van with the fucked-up hood and magical exotic Italian engine. Stanley the poodle flinched in fear, but he was quickly learning that we were his new owners and would let nothing bad happen to him. The van began to rock left to right and front and back, a sort of shimmy of dancing. My main concern was unconscious Jackson, had something snuck into the van while we were
