7 days till the end
next morning
Roxanne woke up feeling strangely happy for some reason 'maybe I had a good dream and forgot it, it has to be' Alex floated above her snoring whic made the girl smirk "dork" she muttered at him, she poked his nose and was greeted with a pair of firey eyes gazing lazily at her "you need something kid?" he yawned "nope, just wanted to be a jerk" "arent you always" he chuckled back, he continued to float as Roxanne got up to get dressed "you seem awfully happy today?" "I know right, its so weird, did you drug me or something," she said waving a finger at him "it was just that one time and it was hilarious" Alex said laughing "I can't even disagree with you" Roxanne chuckled to her self before getting back to looking for clothes, Alex continued to float in the air as if there was no care in the world as he gazed down at Roxanne "so got anything to talk about?" Alex asked "Nope, not really, im just looking for cloths" "well your boring" "what?! no im not" "then why are you so happy" Roxanne smirked "well my friend, if you really must know its because the lunar eclipse is coming soon, and I mean very soon and I cant wait to see it" "isnt it on your birthday or something like that" "yup which means no one, not even a single soul can know that's it's my birthday, I want to enjoy the eclipse in silence for once, but I still have to come through with a deal I made" "what deal was that, if you dont mind?" Alex looked at her, this time landing on the ground while she slid a shirt on "well I basically have to ruin this girls reputation and I get weed for it" Alex's eyes lit up like a child's hope " WEED, I havent had some good drugs in awhile, are we sharing oh Roxy your the best?!!!" he embraced her with open arms even though she was reluctant to the hug "butthole" she chuckled as she let him do whatever made him happy.
Roxanne decided to walk to school since it was still dark out but mostly because she could finally listen to her music fully, she placed the black red vined headphones on her temple and began to play her music, all noise from the outside were blocked out as she drifted to her own world, a world where she didnt have to lie, where she didnt have to cheat or steal, a world where she could be the child she never had a chance to be, a child loses a lot of love when they see their parents leave each other, it can tear their world apart, parents will go back and forth, telling children that one and the other doesn't love them, manipulation is a deadly card to play when playing with pros, once you play that card you got nothing left, you can keep going through your deck, take puffs from your cigar, stall as long as you can but as you fuddle through the thin pieces of fragile paper going over aces, clovers, kings, and queens, those hearts will chew you up and swallow you whole. Roxanne looked towards the sky and chuckled softly "fuck you" she said flipping off the sky "you watch people go through shit and you don't give a hot damn, I bet right now you're watching homeless people getting shot up while eating popcorn and having a grand old time. what kind of god does that, they look up to you like literally, but when they die do they even go to you, can you even look them straight in the eye and say welcome home? I get it, you died for our sins but you're a god, cant you like stop them, save them...can you give a shit for once and help me out here, I'm trying to make it in life, and I'm already fucking up, I bet you're laughing at me right now and I hope you are, just know that when I die which will probably be soon that I tried, I tried to put up with the so-called expectations that you and these people created, I tried to be the nice guy but everyone kept cheating at cards so now I got to fill someone with a hell of a lot of lead" Roxanne stared at the sky silently, waiting for some sort of answer but nothing, she scoffed " some god you are, letting helpless people die, you left me for dead and you know it, you don't care just like every other person on this shit-stained globe of murder and suicide, you just enjoy the show but when someone does kill themself you send them to hell?! just because someone couldnt handle the bullshit that this world had to offer no, not this world, what YOU had to offer?! why not say fucking sorry for being a shitty person and allowing people to create such a shitty place huh?!, why not do FUCKING THAT!!" she kicked a rock into the woods with every bit of hatred in her, at that moment she swore she could feel the ground shake. she stopped and looked away from the sky to the ground "god I fucking hate myself" she sighed, she took out lollipop out from her pocket "I DONT FUCKING CARE!?" she shouted musically before shoving the sucker into her mouth...
Rodney was on the bus to school listening to music, thinking about the altercation that he and Roxy got into the other day "what if she hates me or never wants to talk to me again, maybe I deserve it, I shouldn't have jumped on her like that" he thought to himself, at moments like this we start to think unsurely of our selfs and of our worth in this world, true that he could have done better but he chose to do it his way which was cruel and uncaring, a small voice in his mind told him to apoligize when the bigger and louder voice told him to stand his ground, he was in the right but what was right and wrong between this feud, Roxanne kept the secret of her being able to see the dead from him but he had kept the secret of having a demon shadow but Roxanne also had a demon with her like him but her demon was different than his, tobias was more of a hustler and mobster while Roxannes was more of a body guard but why, maybe out of instinct or is there something more. He stopped, the thought of Roxanne clouded his mind, her smile, her dark chocloate hair to her blood red lips, he could almost feel her next to him, her hand on his hand "hey kid" Rodney was completly bewildered by the sudden disturbance, an older man stod above him as fellow students looked at him "you need to get off, your here" "o-okay, im sorry sir" Rodney quickly grabbed his bag and dashed off the bus, embarassed "dammit Rodney, be a man" he said as he chuckled to himself
Roxanne continued to walk down the empty sidewalk, street lights flickered every now and then and along came the occasional cat or two "same old bullshit" she muttered she pulled out her phone to try and get her mind off of the awkward silence until a snap, Roxanne paused in her tracks, she had seen this kind of situation on TV but she never thought she would be a part of it but instead of being scared, she was excited "who's there?!" she shouted as she spun around, her heart stopped. someone was standing under one of the flickering lights, their head hunched down and their shoulders up high, they carried a breif case on their left hand but from what Roxanne could see, their hands were terrifyingly long, 'what the hell?' she sighed and rolled her eyes "hey...who the fuck are you and what do you want" she shouted out loud to the being, the being said nothing, it continued to stand there motionless "so you're the girl I have heard so much about ..." Roxanne jolted 'it spoke?!' her whole body began to shake 'wait, whats going on?!' she could feel her hands getting sweaty, her heart beating rapidly 'am I...scared?!' she tried to run but her body stopped her, gravity held her inplace onto the sidewalk and forced her to look towards the being "what, the fearsome Roxanne Delaware is scared of a man under a lamplight?! how pathetic!!" he mocked, Roxanne was now getting pissed "look, I dont know who the hell you or how you know me so lets just go our seperate ways, im not in the mood for some bullshit from a pedophile" she growled at him, the being stopped hunching and was now standing up straight though still hard to see their face " my my my, is that how you talk to a fellow demon, your father would be quite dissapointed in you" 'DEMON?!?' Roxanne watched in horror as the demon began to dissort its body, with horrifying cracks and snaps of its body which made Roxanne cringe "oh god..." she choked back the urge to scream and clutched her pocket for the knife she kept, the being turned his back to her 'maybe he-' Roxannes though paused as she watched in horror as the demon snapped his neck back to see her, the lamp light flickered rapidly showing the beings body grow in size "FUCK!!!" she shouted before running, the demon roared before chasing after her, the ground shook and broke under the demons mass as it continued after the young girl "LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!" she shouted as she continued to run for her life 'OF ALL TIMES, WHY ARENT THERE ANY CARS OUT' she mentally shouted but contiued to run "Oh RoXxAnNe!!" the demon shouted "IM NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK TO STRANGERS!!!" she shouted, her feet were now on auto and her mind raced faster than she could comprehend 'so this is how im going to die, being chased down by a demon pedophile...its no the best way to go down but hell, its a way to go down...' but how come she didnt stop running, how come her body refused to give up... "COME HERE YOU BRAT!!!" the demon wrapped its large tail around the girls waist and threw her into the near by woods...
Roxanne rolled down the rocky hillside with the grace of a duck on ice, she continued to roll until she crashed into the root of a large tree, she laid there for a moment, trying to regain her breath, she brought her hand to her pocket, her heart stopped when she realized her knife was gone, she searched the surrounding area but to no avail "OH ROXANNE!?" her eyes darted toward the limbs of the tree where to her horror, saw the demon perched on the branches, it punched on her with a growl before sending the two further down the hill and into a clearing, Roxanne fought to get the demon off but to no avail, she laid there pinned to the ground still struggling to get free, the demon chuckled before bringing its claw to the girls face and stroking her cheek "my, you look even more beautiful than the day you were created..." it breathed "GET THE FUCK OFF-!!" the demon quickly covered her mouth and shushed her "now, now Roxanne, lets end this little game and finish this...my way" the demon brought his hand down from his face to her chest, Roxanne jolted at the touch, she tried to scream and bite at the hand but to no avail, the demon let his finger slide down from inbetween her breasts to her hips "im going to enjoy every second of this..." he licked his lips before playfully tuggin at the girls jeans, Roxanne began to wiggle and violently kick the creature , she started to panic until a small bright object hit her eye, she looked towards the direction and saw her knife, laying in a pile of leaves and twigs, her mind began to think properly and soon got an idea, though she may not like it. the demon was surprised as to when Roxanne went limp under him, she looked at him with a smirk and a seductive smile "well, what are you waiting for, you won so do whatever pleases you" she said bringing her hands and placing them on the demon's shoulders 'im so going to hell for this' she thought, the demon was shocked that she was being so willing now but ignored it, he began to toy with her, he placed his claw in her shirt and began to slowly feel around her breast, it made Roxanne wince at the touch but she had to ignore it, her freedom was just a few feet away, the demon picked her up a held her bridal style, but sat back down and sat her in his lap, the demon was looming over her which made Roxanne very uncomfortable, he began to kiss and lick at the crook at her neck while stroking her arms, Roxanne sat obediently in his lap, plotting her escape, if she was to try anything now, she would blow her cover and get herself killed so she hesitently began stroking the creatures legs, the demon moaned at this and began nipping at Roxannes neck causing small amounts of blood to leak, she hissed in pain but continued "am I hurting you love?" the demon asked "a little" Roxanne said blankley "then shall we move on to-" "NOT YET!" the demon paused at the sudden outburst and held her wrist up to the sky "why not?" he asked, Roxanne had to think of something , fast "i- um, have never dont this before, this is all new to me so im very scared of-" "ah yes, you are a virgin" "yes, exactly so lets take it slow, for my sake..." she then gently took her hand from the demons grasp and placed her hand gingerly on his cheek "please" she said sweetly, the demon chuckled at this sudden gesture, Roxanne could feel the vibreation of the demons chest on her back, shaking her whole body, the demon then held tightly to Roxannes waist and laid down with her ontop of him, her back still on his chest "of course, princess" he cooed before bringing his claws to her chest again, Roxanne looked out of the corner of her eye and was happy to see that her blade was now im arms length 'this is my chance, but not yet' she slowly turned her self around and laid ontop of the demon with a seductive look "what are you doing?" the demon asked, Roxanne giggled before placing a single finger on the demon's chest "I have seen this in movies and thought I might try it, something tells me that you'll like it too" she said as she slowly crawled ontop of the demon, looming over him, the demon smirked at this "you are a naughty girl Roxanne, the name suits you" the demon said as he laid under her, Roxanne smirked at this and placed her hands on the demons claws "i know, thats why I have to do this..." she said with a sweet smile, her hand lunged towards the blade, grabbing the handle swiftly and then plunging the blade into the demons arm, the demon howled and threw Roxanne off him while clutching his wound "FUCK YOU DEMON PEDOPHILE!!!" she said flipping him off, but before Roxanne turned to run away she noticed that her knife was glowing red from the blood, she ignored it and proceeded to run for her life, leaving the demon in the clearing "so she has a class A knife..." the demon asked himself, he licked his wound which began to heal, he chuckled to himself smelling the air "YOU HEAR ME ROXANNE, YOU AND ME WILL BE TOGETHER IN HELL!!!" he cackled before chasing after her.
Roxanne ran through the dense wood, her legs couldn't stop, she ran and ran until she came to the road again, the sun was slowly starting to rise and the stars were vanishing "shit, what time is it?!" she asked herself, she wanted to pull out her phone but realized the screen cracked "SHIT!?" she shouted, she then turned around to see the demon in the woods behind her, its eyes glowing red and its claw reaching to her, she began running again this time across the road and down the block "IM NOT DONE WITH YOU YET ROXANNE!!!" he shouted reaching out to her, she swiped at the beings tail with her knife, barley cutting the end slightly, the demon hissed in pain at its tail giving Roxanne more time to run, she ran down the winding roads and alleyways until her eyes lit up "hell yeah" she huffed, she ran towards the step of the church through the iron gates, when she looked back, she could see the demon standing there, trying to enter with out being scorched by the holy remidies, she pounded in the churches door, praying to be let in, thankfully, an old man wearing church clothing came to the door "hello, who-" Roxanne threw tht door open and hid behind the man "SIR, THERES A MAN OUT THERE TRYING TO RAPE ME, CAN I PLEASE STAY HERE UNTIL MY PARENTS COME AND GET ME!?" her eyes full of tears, the older man looked out the door but didnt see anyone, he quickly closed teh door and led Roxanne to his office where he poured her a glass of water "are you alright my dear, you arent hurt are you?" the man asked her "no sir but if you have an ice pack for my neck, that would be wonderful" Roxanne said pointing to her neck, the man looked at her wound and gasped "of course, I will get you some Ice, if you need to use my phone, its right there on my desk" the man hurried out of the room, Roxanne grabbed the mans phone and began to dial Alex's number...
Alex was talking with crocell and Raguel about certain times when Alex's phone began to ring "who is it?" crocell asked "its Roxanne so shut up" Alex answered the phone "hey Roxy, how's it going" "Alex, I need you to come and pick me up from the church on west street, some shit just happened and im freaking the fuck out, do that fake phone call thing to the school and tell them im throwing up or something for me, please" Alex's face turned to a scowl "yeah, I'll meet you there" he then hung up, Alex was worried and pissed "everything okay moreslak" Raguel asked "everything is fine, let the school know Roxanne isnt coming to school today please, he then ran out of the room and down the hall in his human form and out of the building "somethings up, I can feel it Crocell" "yeah, I feel it too, and not just because of the liquor I had this morning" "drinking in the morning, how imature"
Alex raced to the church where Roxanne was sitting on the steps drinking out of a glass cup, an older gentleman sat beside her but rose when the presence of a car drove up, Alex got out of the car in his human form and began to walk towards the gate "Roxanne, come on, let go" Roxanne thanked the man for his kindness and gave him back his cup, she waved farewell to him before walking to Alex's car and driving off "so what happened?" Alex asked her "promise not to get mad," she said weakly "of course I won't, now what happened," he asked her again, Roxanne sighed "A demon tried to rape me" she said, Alex stopped the car abruptly "A WHAT?!" Alex shouted, the car was dead silent for a mear moment "yup, a demon tried to rape me, he left marks on my neck and everything, I have bruises from when he threw me down a hill and scratches from running so much, i feel like im going to vomit" Alex grabbed her shoulders and began sniffing her neck, he growled at the smell and looked at her neck again, a purplish swollen area with little red spots "did they do anything else to you, you still smell like a virgin but that Hickie isn't going away any time soon, lets hangout for the day, the school knows you're going to be out today so let's just go crazy huh?" Alex said rubbing her back, Roxanne smiled at him "thanks Alex, let's go crazy, you, me, and the nearest arcade" she said placing her hand on his hand...
later that evening
Roxanne and Alex spent the whole day together, shopping, gaming, and eating, they laughed together and even got kicked out of some places together, like best friends should do after something horrible happens. on the way back to the house, Roxanne clutched onto a hedgehog doll that Alex had won for her "I had a great time today Roxy" "me too, I'm still full from the hot wings we had" Roxanne giggled "well im still hungry for some fries" "well then could we stop somewhere and get some food" "sure thing Roxy" Alex smiled sweetly before taking a right towards a local burger joint, while Alex was ordering food Roxanne was lost in thought 'what did that demon mean by a fellow demon and princess, i feel like I have heard that-' Roxanne snapped back when she felt a tap on her shoulder "what do you want for food?" "I don't know, what are you getting?" "a big ass burger with large fries" "well then I want some big ass fries and a large drink pwease" Roxanne said sweetly "fine" Alex said rolling his eyes playfully, the two got their meals and continued their drive home but something continued to linger inside Roxanne mind, something questionable and sinister 'somethings up and I know it, Alex, are you involved?'
