2024-10-29 19:42:56The demon woman was flat out, full diving towards me as I scrambled to crab crawl myself as far away from her as I could. Her fresh, young arms were outstretched with ferocious claws leading the way. Her blonde hair slicked back against the wind speed she had created. She would have made a hell of a bodyguard for a President or celebrity, diving in front of supersonic bullets taking the hit to protect the asset she was assigned to. If only she were a good guy, someone fighting for righteousness and the wellbeing of humanity, and not an evil demon woman seeking to ravage the world only to take it over as her new domicile.
Crawling backwards as fast as possible, I finally slammed my head into the hardwood bannister of the second-floor balcony. That was the most distance I could cover in that amount of time with the space allotted to me. Luckily, Todd was tucked nice and tight to the wall directly to the right of the door the demon woman was d

As the demon woman laid limply on my tensed nervous body, we fell to the hardwood floor at speed that felt like an eternity. Time was so extremely slowed, I feared I had already died, and this was going to be my hell for the rest of my soul’s existence. We had yet to hit the floor, my fire orange palm still firmly applying pressure and pain to the demon woman, something inexplicable happened.The glossy black slime had slithered back out from the crack in the wall that it had sneakily squeaked through and hid much earlier in the adventure. The puddle was much smaller in size but had instead compressed itself into a thicker composition, like a glossy black pancake inches tall. My neck wrenched back to focus on the demon woman, she did not stand a chance against my powerful Latin etched glowing hand. At least my min

Just as before, a massive roar bellowed from the beast that was almost completely through the maple wood door. The entire house shook as if we were enduring a small earthquake and the rest of the windows exploded in a symphony of skin slicing, blood inducing glass. Todd fell to the floor, slamming his knees through the floor but, he also dropped the pendant and necklace. I managed to track where it fell as my eyes bounced from flying glass, to the soon to be mobile demon boy, the demon lady, and the massive contortionist arm stretching out from the door over the balcony railing.When Todd fell and managed to slam his knees through the floor, luckily, he was still under the pendant’s power so there was no damage done to him physically. That being said, he instantly dropped the pendant that gave us a chance, large or small, against whatever monstrosity was about to join the demon filled Mrs. Tannell search party. I had to get to it, we could
Haunting Naomi Chapter 30
Shivering in my tear drenched shirt under the stairs of Mrs. Tannell’s house surrounded by a demon mother and son duo, my concern was not with the impending attack from the demons but more so with the large hairy beast that had just burst from the only unsearched room upstairs. With the pendant in hand, I should be able to fend off the demons and any strike they may launch but that was not a certain.The demon lady pushed her hovering demon son aside and shuffled in close to me, almost face-to-face. She looked down at my pendant and laughed, a gaudy laugh that resounded through the large room and echoed for what seemed like ages.She said, “Your little magic necklace is as good as nothing when it comes to fending off my attack. It may work on my little son, but I am far stronger than him and will not be taken down by a

With a defiant stance, I stood tall and proud, confident in a way, waiting to counter the enraged demon boys first attack. Nothing would please me more than to end this hear and now. Todd and the beast were enamored with each other as he patted the gigantic beast’s head. Most importantly of all, the demon boy watched me decimate his mother’s hands and for all I knew, he had no idea how I had accomplished that. Hopefully, this instilled a sense of fear into the demon boy, if not a fear of being harmed, a fear of being defeated in front of his ailing mother.I said, "Welcome back kiddo. How was your sudden gooey trip? Hope it did not hurt your feelings too much."A snide chuckle escaped Todd's throat, echoing through the wide room. We all know that when you try to pull off the smart-ass chuckle, it is a good idea to not let many people hear it. I suppose, Todd did not expect the sound to resonate so vividl

The demon woman wanted to ensure she still had a hand in this fight, no pun intended, so she enacted a plan that would mentally haunt me for the rest of my life, even after my death. I was still down on the floor with the demon woman trying her best to gain control of me without her hands. To my left I could still hear this odd noise, something I had never heard before. It reminded me of bones snapping and guts smushing around.The demon boy sighed as if he were disappointed in his mother, he still was not over their fight and really wanted to prove a point to her. He wanted to be the one in charge, the one to finish this mess and annihilate the humans and the beast that accompanied them. His mother had already let us know that she had bigger plans, plans to fill the Earth with demons and eliminate the human race from this gracious land.Todd and the beast had realized that they were being approached by the demon boy and took a

Crashing into the stairs resulted in my lower back bending in a way that it was not naturally supposed to go. A searing pain shot through my entire body as the hand that grabbed my foot inched its way up my leg. Its grasp gave off the feeling of urgency, as if it were a human climbing up the side of a mountain after realizing he was the lone survivor of a commercial plane crash.Looking down, fighting through the pain my lower back was putting out, it was Zombie Wayne the Uber driver. His mouth was now gnashing together, looking for flesh to sink its teeth into. There was nothing I could do to stop him; my back injury had debilitated me and prevented any form of retreat. I closed my eyes and looked down at my inscripted hand. It truly was my last resort.I said, “Please work. Please work. We can

Watching the yellow glowing pendant soar through the air under the guidance of my glowing orange palm beam was a sight for sore eyes to say the least. All of our lives depended on that pendant landing in Todd’s fat sweaty grasp as he leaned over the unstable second floor railing. Every second went by in slow motion, knowing the doom and despair that waited in the shadows if this crucial catch was not made precisely as we had planned.The further Todd leaned out, the more the second floor railed began to bow under his weight and crack, hinting at a disastrous result to the much-needed catch. Suddenly, Todd sneezed in the middle of all this excitement and leaned far too much over the railing, it finally dismantled under his weight and he began a quick, long fall to the dark hardwood floor below.There was more to this problem than we

Todd, Mrs. Tannell, and I had victoriously risen to the top of elation mountain after winning what we thought was the war against two demons, a mother and son duo, that had decided to haunt, torment, terrorize, and overall ruin my sixteenth year on this Earth.My name is Naomi, I am dead as a doornail and I have been unwillingly chosen to be the victim of a demon boy and demon woman’s horrific desire to take me into the dark side of life all because my mother had str

Todd was back amongst the living, standing with Jennifer and Jackson, as all three of them stared at me with the fire of one thousand suns. I am certain that not one of them had any idea why I was motivated to trade my life for Todd’s but it was not their concern. The main concern now was to stay alive just long enough to eliminate Mrs. Tannell and destroy the portal to hell that resided in her living room. Through all of this, the killing, the death, the pain, the suffering, it had come to me out of the blue that Mrs. Tannell must be provoking these attacks, especially if she knew I had killed Sarah Macly, her lone granddaughter, she would have all the motivation in the world to make my life a living hell. The end was drawing near, not only for me, but for Mrs. Tannell as well. It was time to end this, once and for all. On

Chapter 156
Todd, the backbone of our alliance, the mini one and the real one, was now lying on his back showing no signs of life at all. His eyes rested still and gray. They were wide open, as stoic as they had ever been in his entire life. His stomach stopped rising with life, he was not breathing at all now. Death had one hand around him, holding on for his dear life, waiting to take his soul away into the ether, never to be seen again. In your last moments, death has a way of making you look as peaceful and calm as you have ever been before. It is the darndest thing, being in the worst position of your life, your soul is floating away, and the lights are beginning to dim, you are dying but from the outside, you look as calm, cool, and collected as you have ever in the history of your breathing days. This generally applies to any and all deaths, except for the horrified ones. Those will make you sick to your stomach. Jesus Christ hims

Todd was in very severe pain, whatever was attacking him was clearly making sure this event was filled with pure pain and horrific suffering. With his pant leg ripped from its seam, Todd’s burn wound throbbed and pulsed with an alerting rhythm. His body was being manipulated by something, some sort of demon that we could not put our eyes on. This put the three of us at a severe disadvantage. It had become very obvious that we needed to act fast, but we had to act efficiently. Flying off the hinges would almost certainly result in a catastrophic failure, that was absolutely unacceptable. All we came here to do was secure demon Sarah where no one would think to find her and we ended up being attacked by an old demon woman, demon wolves, a huge mimicking demon, and I killed a man. This could not have gone any worse, except for some sort of death on our end. Now was not the time for reflection though, Todd needed us, and it was looking

Todd, with his leg wound, would have to wait just a bit longer while we investigated what we thought was the man I killed as he ran into the light. Obviously, if I killed him, he would not be able to make moaning noises or anything like that, so it was fairly easy to discern that the dead man had been turned into a demon and he would certainly be looking for some sweet, delicious revenge. I mean, who would be alright with getting killed out of the blue? Jennifer and Jackson had taken the lead as I made a fine attempt at catching up to them as we headed towards the corner of the abandoned K-Mart. The moaning was like a mating call, this was not the typical ‘I am in pain’ moan. It resonated incessantly, calling us to come and see what was happening. Judging by previous experience, I had no clue about what may be around the corner, all I knew was that we were walking towards danger, and we had to be ready. I said, “Slow down, guys. Le

I could not hold my curiosity back from taking a peek at the filthy, old three-ringed binder. I sincerely wish I had; I was not in the right mental space to read what I had just read. Gaining the knowledge that was hidden away inside of that binder was more of a curse than it was a blessing. The way I thought about life, in general, changed dramatically from that point on, nothing would ever be the same again. Written in ink on a hardened piece of lined notebook paper, I read the following: ‘Today, September 23rd, 1976, I met a few young women that claimed they had been in an accident. Linda Ericson, approximately eighteen years old, Sandra Tannell, approximately twenty-four years old, and Wanda Williams, approximately twenty-eight years old, were in the old Sander’s coffee shop talking amongst themselves. I was studying up on my favorite subject, which will remain nameless because it is so obvious, especially if someone other than m

The slaughtered body of the homeless drug addict that I split in two with a hellacious laser beam from my inscripted hand before we entered the darkness had disappeared. It was clearly splayed out for all to see and showed no obvious logical signs of going anywhere anytime soon. How it had magically disappeared was beyond me, there was not even a sign of blood or fragments of flesh lying about. It truly baffled my mind as to how a body that had been split into two distinct halves could have disappeared along with all the splattered pieces that went along with it. We had finally broken free from the darkness of the abandoned, decrepit K-Mart and had made our way into the light of the outside world. Todd’s van was still where we had left it, everything was still in place just as it was before we entered the darkness to save Todd and defeat the Haunting Naomi

There is a time that comes in every single person’s life, no one is immune from it, that you see someone you love as the worst being on the face of the planet. It happens to all of us, it does not last long, but it does happen. None of us want this to happen, who wants to hate someone they love so dearly? At this moment in time, after what Jackson did, after I tell you what he did, you will understand how I had this feeling.It all happened so fast, to be honest. There was no time for any of us to respond to what he thought was the right thing to do. Telling the story now, even as dead as I am, my heart still hurts from that moment. More than how horrible I felt when I found out my mom hit a child with a car, killed him, and left the scene. It is the worst I have ever felt. Jackson made a decision and performed an action, he was scared, and he acted out, it was a mistake, but he did not see it as that in the heat of the mo

The giant wolf had been struck one time by the now deceased mimicking demon that had taken Todd into the darkness of the abandoned K-Mart. Shining the spotlight on the wolf’s body, the attack by the demon had contacted its torso. Ribs and blood, internal organs and shredded flash all filled my line of sight when inspecting the giant wolf that had saved the day and eliminated the mimicking demon. As usual, our mission’s objective had been modified on the fly. We had to get to Todd, he was hunched over in the corner, we were still not sure if he was alright or if he was in need of some rejuvenation. Now, I felt we were obligated to take care of the giant wolf, the one that formerly was possessed and under control of demon Mrs. Williams. It was the least we could do considering the fact that the wolf had single handedly taken care of the demon and saved us a lot of heartache and potential damages. I said, “Jennifer, go to Todd.

Navigating as effectively and efficiently around the poor homeless man that I had just split in half after he came running out of the darkness, the three of us walked briskly into the abandoned K-Mart ready for a fight to save Todd. On my way in, I snatched up the spotlight and made sure it illuminated every square inch of real estate in front of us, ensuring our path was clear or we would be able to see anything dangerous in our way so that we could work our way around it. Shining the light back and forth, covering my two counterparts from any attacks from drunks or druggies, we pushed in as fast as possible without risking any chance of injury or worse. Jennifer and Jackson led the charge, side by side, ready to get into the action and accomplish our goal of getting Todd back in one piece. I took up the rear, providing the light needed and also making sure nothing snuck up behind us as the darkness chased behind our feet. In the distance, as we ru
