Todd began the rescue conversation first with visions of Jennifer and I descending down the hell portal once again with a new arsenal of demon shards at our disposal. We would have shards that could detect human heartbeats, regular breathing patterns, and shards that would make us move at double speed and a shard to decrease our need to breathe at all which would free up our human computer brains to run more complex programs. It was all very fancy and wonderful sounding.
Before I get to the rest of the group, I must say that there is no way in hell, no pun intended, that I was going back down that portal willingly, especially knowing that I was the one that caused Sarah to remain in hell to be devoured by demons or employed by them, who the hell knows? Jennifer went along with Todd’s idea just to try to push some of the possible suspicion from my person. She entertained him with questions of possible other shards that could do other miraculous things.

Todd hovered over me as I laid flat on the floor with a huge knot on my forehead from faking a pass-out attack to get myself out of having to go back through the portal to find Sarah Macly, the reject of the alliance. He began gently pouring water over my face as I fought off the urge to flinch. The coolness of the water was very jarring and incredibly hard not to react to. I increased the rapid release of my fake moaning just to add a little cherry on top of my selling this fake sickness. The ever-hovering Todd began to talk to himself, spouting out ideas to help me with my seemingly real illness. Nothing would cause me to break character, that is the strength I had over my mind to ensure that I was not going to have to go back to hell through the portal, at least not today. His brain was running a mile a minute with grand ideas of tricking my brain into thinking I was healthy, leaving my body no choice but to survive and push out the extreme i

It was a brisk morning; the sun was trying to peak over the horizon as we made our way home to my house. The dew on the grass in the pristine front yards around the neighborhood was glistening but warning us that our chance to get home undetected was coming to an end quickly. I was not trying to deal with my parents this morning about being out all night, there was no explanation, nothing that would make sense to them and bring their grace to me for watching the sun rise. We turned the corner to the street my house was on. Remember last time, we had a demon possessed officer waiting for us. I had to zap him to get us out of danger and that almost led to my parents catching me performing my special ability. Things were getting too close for comfort; we had dodged so many bullets that one was bound to hit its target at some point. Just u

Watching Jackson sleep so soundly made my heart swoon. He was absolutely adorable and at that moment I promised myself that I would never let anything happen to him again. Now. In order to keep that promise I would need to deal with this green couple sitting out front revving its engine before it alerted my parents that there is danger out front. My phone was in my pocket, and I desperately wanted to call Todd or Jennifer to get them over here to help me out but what would I say? There is a car out here in front of my house making a bunch of noise. When the driver cracked the window, a bunch of fiery smoke came out? It just did not seem necessary to make any calls at the moment. The way I figured it; my dad could handle it if it came down to it. I walked downstairs to see my mom and dad sitting at th

There in front of me stood Todd and parked at the curb was his white windowless van. It was still settling at the curb, ticking and groaning from the laborious drive to my house. Before my parents could see the middle-aged balding fat man at our door that had come to our house looking for me, their teenage daughter, I stepped outside and pulled the door closed behind me. The green coup was still revving its engine but was suspended in mid-air by someone just out of my view. Todd was panting, I did not know if it was from the run to my door from the curb or if he was in fear that the green demon driven car was trying to crush us under its weight. Looking past Todd, I tried to see who was driving the green demon car but my view through the windshield was blocked by all of the fiery smoke that had been bellowing around on the interior of the car. Todd continued to quickly check behind him as it seemed he was not sure if the demon car was going to b

Todd stood with us, hands tucked into his cargo shorts pockets as the sweat boiled from his pores, running sprints down his face, and dropping to the ground with an oddly satisfying drip. It was very obvious that he was deeply thinking about what had just happened and that he had clearly connected the dots in regard to Sarah Macly and her permanent dwelling in hell since the return of the rescue team during our mission. Jennifer and Scotty swooned at one another, young love being what it is, as we all tried to return our minds to normal after the green demon car attack featuring Sarah Macly. There was no telling when the next demon attack would come, they have been fast and furious lately. The constant barrage of attacks has taken a toll on all of us, but we had to stay vigilant and possibly make a plan to help one another so that no one in the alliance would grow tired and become more s

My heart was sinking deep down into my stomach as I paced closer to the car accident that involved Scotty and Jennifer. Smoke whisked into the air, dancing away until it disappeared. My eyes had yet to lock onto the other car, but I was certain there was actually another vehicle involved in this crash. Cars do not just implode in the middle of the road for no reason, especially considering the amount of damage. It looked as if Scotty had driven directly into a brick wall at one hundred miles per hour. Over the noise of the hissing and popping of the crashed car, I could hear Todd’s jalopy squeaking and bouncing up behind me. That thing certainly needed some tender loving care, especially on the suspension components. I was not prepared for what I could potentially see, but they needed help and I was not about to turn around
Haunting Naomi Chapter 103
While Todd was consoling Jennifer, I was left in the middle of the street fighting off Sarah Macly in her demon form. I had already killed her once which resulted in her being sent back to hell. She was able to respawn herself around the corner with her green demon car. Cautious and calculated, she waited patiently for one of us to come around the corner so she could cause some sort of irreparable damage. Unlucky for Jennifer and Scotty Geraldy, they were next around the corner. Scotty, God rest his soul, had passed away from the massive amount of damage that a car’s engine can do when it is pushed through the firewall and placed in the driver’s lap without remorse. His entire lower body had been turned to mush, flesh and bone, mixed together into a puddy-esque form. I had never seen such a massive amount of dama
Haunting Naomi Chapter 104
Thinking quickly on my feet was one of my strong suits. I had the ability to problem solve almost anything in a matter of minutes, unlike most humans that took days or weeks to work out the details. That being said, I was a touch slow in this situation, battling a demon and being a little slow did not mix well for me. Sarah needed to be captured alive but was it worth the risk of getting fireballed by her again? Jackson had indeed provided the much-needed distraction for me, this prompted me to rush in and try to get a hold of demon Sarah. Unfortunately for me, she was able to sense my oncoming attack and turned back to me just before I arrived at her body with the ferociousness of a pouncing tiger. She quickly strafed to the side, and I flew right past her. I skidded across the asphalt, tearing up my elbows and knees. I was definitely going to have some scars. Jennifer and Jackson looked on as Sarah worked up a huge fireball
