school

6:47 AM

Rodney was walking down the halls with his head down but followed by dozens of his peers, looming over him mumbling 'what's wrong with him' 'why is he so sad' 'oh poor baby' 'who broke his heart' Rodney swiftly turned to face them all "do you guys need something or are you just here to gawk at my pity and woe" his eyes were dark, his hair frailed with unsettling bags under his eyelids. his peers stared at him, visibly uncomfortable as they began to disperse, Rodney groaned before rushing to the bathroom, Rodney splashed cold water on his face and fell to the ground "DAMNIT!!" he shouted before punching the floor. Tobias appeared before him and looked at him, worried "hey kids what's wrong with you, you look like and act like shit" "oh shut the fuck up, I'm fine" "nope, especially if your cursing like a sailor" Rodney rolled his eyes "so then, what are you gonna do about it..." Rodneys voice was low and unforgiving "well...first I'll talk to this Roxanne" Rodneys eyes went wide "DONT DO IT, STAY AWAY FROM HER!!" he shouted, the demon looked t him for a second, then smirked wickedly "so, its Roxanne your so broken heart about, alright spill, what happened" the demon layed infront of the boy with its head on the knuckles of his hands "I blew up on her" Rodney said flatly "AAAABBBBOOOOUUUUUTTTT!?" the demon now VERY intersted "forget it, you wouldnt understand" Rodney tried to turn away from the demon but was roughly grabbed by his arm and turned around "YOU HUMAN ARE GOING TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG OR I SHALL DAMN THEE TO HELL!!" the demon shouted "fine fine just leave me alone and shut up" the boy said, he sighed before looking up at the demon with sorrowful eyes "I called her out, said she could see the dead, I called her a liar and she hasnt spoken to me since" Rodney then grabbed the demons arms "please you have to help me get her back, she's all I got in this world, she makes me feel normal when everyone else treats me like a king, help me get her back please" Tobias couldn't help but to look disgusted, this was so beside of Rodney to act like this, he usually act as if he owned the world, that he could do what ever he wanted but now he was being dragged down by some girl, a human girl "get your hands off me" he growled, Rodeny let go of him but still looked at him with plea "please" he whimpered "fine..." Rodney's sorrow slowly started to fade "but..." Rodney paused "you must do something for me..." Tobias's voice was dark, sinister even, Rodney could feel his heart stop "you gotta stop being such a whiny bitch dude, don't let love get in your way to success, I know what that feels so don't you do, got it kid" Rodney smiled "sure" he said smiling

Roxanne walked down the hallway making sure that her fake contact lens was on and hid her eye well, he minds was somewhere else until she was suddenly be bombarded by a large group of students "morning Roxanne" "wow look at her shoes their gorgeous" " what kind of shampoo do you use" "your so hot" Roxanne was confused and terrified, why were all these kids all of a sudden coming up to her and complimenting her, then out from the crowd Mason came out with tiffany, one of their clients "oh now I see" Roxanne crossed her arms and glared down at the two "what in the name of hell is going on here, why is everyone being so nice to me and Mason, why are you with the popular girl?" Tiffany giggled before walking up to Roxanne "why Roxy, all I did was say a couple of nice things about you and now *tch* you seem to be just...like...me" Roxanne's eyes went wide "W-WHAT!!" Roxanne started to back away from the large crowd and started her run down the winding hallways 'this is so fucking weird' she told her self as she continued to run but before she knew it, she was grabbed and yanked into the girl's bathroom "ssshhhhh" said the mystery person, Roxanne obeyed, she sat there silently until the large crowds of students went by, Roxanne sighed in relief "thanks" she said "don't thank me, I don't deserve it" Roxanne turned around to see Zildrac "ZIL-" the dog placed its paw on Roxanne's mouth "shut up, you'll blow my cover " "c-cover, from what exactly" then, a large blast bellowed through the halls, people were running away screaming

"what's that?" Roxanne asked the dog "what I was afraid of" Roxanne and Zildrac dashed out of the bathroom to see a large inhuman, the size of a flag pole with dangerously sharp claws, its head disformed with the faces of other humans, it stood broadly as it continued to tear at the concrete walls, students fled screaming "Zildrac do something, arent you supposed to like kick-ass or something" "I can but I'm not as strong as he is, he is a class B demon" "Which means?" Roxanne looked confused "basically he is a lot stronger than most demons around but if he continues to destroy the school, it will attract more demons, we will have to leave if the demons continue" the demon roared as it smashed another wall, Roxanne could see that there were students under a large slate of concrete "HELP SOMEONE HELP, PLEASE I-I CAN'T BREATHE!!" they shouted, Roxanne's heart snapped "Zildrac, make sure no one comes into the bathroom" "Wait- Roxanne" the dog shouted but was too late to stop her.

Roxanne got inside of one of the stalls and swiftly pulled out her dagger "okay Mr, im not sure exactly what you are or what you want but you have to work with me right now, the school is falling apart and people are getting hurt, please for once, work with me here" she pressed the hidden button on the blade, a large beam of emerald light filled the room, her eyes glowing a dangerous red flame, her heart paced at such speed that felt as though it were a heart attack, she groaned in pain as she clutched her chest but as she looked at her hands, they began to morph into claws, her eyes began to pulse so hard it felt as though they would pop, she gasped for air for a choking sensation pondered within, tentacals swormed around her body as her body began to grow and pulse, her teeth turned into rows of fangs as her head began to ache, large horns peirced the surface of her skin as they escpaed the skull, Roxanne screamed in pain as blood pooled from her temple, ehr skin turned into a gray color as she continued to morph. wings exploded from her back causing an ear-piercing screech to erupt, a red beam of light exploded from the girl and went toward the sky.

the demon looked around to see what else he could destroy until he saw a large red beam illuminate the sky "another one, oh this will be fun" the demon shouted excitedly, he began to rush toward the red beam but paused, he saw a strange-looking demon inside the beam "hey pal, do you need help, are you okay?"

Roxanne glared down the monster, her eyes now red with one in the form of a snake eye, she roared at the demon before flying toward the demon, the demon saw this and quickly turned around to run away but was grabbed by its tail, the demon looked at the demon that grabbed it tail "h-hey w-what's wrong with you-" Roxanne clutched the demons tail tightly before using immortal strength the lift the demon and throw it into the ground "YOU HAVE ENTERED IN MY TERRITORY, NOW YOU SHALL PAY!!!" she shouted before doing it again. the students watched in horror as another demon who was smaller than the larger one was taking on another demon, in their school.

Roxanne threw the demon into the side of the school and landed a punch into his face, the demon grabbed her hand and attempted to rip her arm off, Roxanne knew this and kicked him in the groin making him howl "AAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH" the demon screamed as Roxanne lifted the demon up by its face "W-WAIT, YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME, IM ONE OF YOU!!!" it screamed, Roxanne's grasp on the demons face became tighter "I'm nothing like you...and I NEVER WILL BE!!" she shouted, her hand becoming tighter on the demons face, the demon screamed and pleaded with her but to no avail "I SWEAR I'LL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN, PLEASE DONT-" a loud squelching sound, then a snap, and he was gone. Roxanne towered over the large monster's body before climbing on top, she was no longer in control over her body 'wait, what am I doing?' she asked herself, she watched in horror as she ripped out the beasts still-beating heart 'put it back, why did you do that' her body ignored her pleads and proceeded to chump at the heart, popping it like cherry, red poured all around as she continued to devour the organ 'why is this so pleasing, I shouldn't be enjoying this' she said to herself 'but yet...' she paused "ITS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING I HAVE EVER EATEN!!" she roared out swallowing the organ whole.

The students watched in horror as the demon devoured the heart of another of it kind "yo is someone recoding this" whimpered a student, no one responded as they stood silently watching the demon eat...

Roxanne paused after she was finished with her heart, she looked down at the students hungrily, her mouth dripping with blood "HELP ME PLEASE" she looked toward where the sound had come from to still see the students trapped under the large slab of concrete "PLEASE HELP ME, I DONT WANT TO DIE, SOMEONE, ANYONE PLEASE!!" they pleaded, Roxanne looked back at her hands then walked toward the trapped teens, everyone began screaming in terror as this monster was lurking twoards these teenagers who wanted nothing more than to be saved.

Roxanne stared down at the teenagers, she watched as they looked at her with horror and began scurring deeper into the slab, Roxanne rolled her eyes "do you guys want me to get you out or what?" she asked them, the teenagers were too busy hiding to answer her, she sighed before taking both hands and throwing the slab away from the teens. the teenagers looked up at the monster confused before being lifted up, they began to scream and wiggle in her grasp "PLEASE DONT-" they stopped screaming as soon as their feet touched the ground "dont what? eat you or something, you guys are seriously fucked up" Roxanne chuckled before standing up straight, the 'school' went silent as the students and teachers looked up at the monster.

Roxanne turned her head toward the sky and muttered in a low breath "sorry, gotta go" but before she did someon called out "WAIT!!! WHO ARE YOU?!?" shouted a staff member as they slowly started edging closer to her, Roxanne looked down at them, she knew that she could never tell them who she truly was, if she did she would probaly be killed or even worst sent away to be somesort of lab rat "Judy...im Judy...." she said, this was her new name, the name that she would be called when in her demon form, the name that will be hated in all of hell and she knew it too, she knew that her father would kill Judy and never know Roxanne, this is the time for a rebellion, to save the world and protect all humanity. Roxanne lifted her hand toward the sky "I must go now" Roxanne spread her wings out and took to the sky as everyone watched...a devil was born

Roxanne landed in the woods and morphed back into her humam self, she held her gut tightly as she spat out large pools of blood "damnit" she muttered "ZILDRAC!!!" she shouted, in a moment a red portal came before her and out came Zildrac from the other side "Roxanne, are you okay?!?! That was dangerously stupid and idiotical, you could have been killed and now probably all of hell and heaven know who you are!!" Zildrac stopped as he watched Roxanne go limp on the ground "ROXANNE!!!" he ran toward her and began pawing at her "GODDANMIT WHERE IS A DEMON WHEN YOU NEED ONE!!!" he shouted in frustration, not too long Alex showed up "Roxanne where are you, I saw the whole thing on TV-" he gazed at Roxannes limp body grimily "i-is she-" "no-not yet so hurry up and help me get her to a hosptial" "no we cant go to a hospital, they'll know what she is" "then where do you suggest we go Smartone" the hound growled "follow me" Alex said, he gingerly picked up Roxannes body and began to sprint through the woods with Zildrac following close behind.

Raguel paced the floor of his home with Crocell sitting worridly on a large red leather chair "he should be here by now, why isnt he here?!" the angel asked crocell "he probably got caught up in something, im sure he'll be here soon" "but what if he doesnt come at all, what if he was caputred by the guards of god" "he can take those pussies on" "but what if the devil sent Hydra, what would he do then!" "he'd fight him off, im sure Alex is on his way" crocell said calmly, this frusterated the angel even more "how can you be so calm about this Crocell, Roxanne defied her father and now she is possibly going to be smited down by god, the almighty doesnt take defiance to kindly espically if its the matter of life or death" "OKAY AND DO YOU THINK IM NOT WORRIED TOO!!" Crocell shouted, the angel stopped his hissy fit when he saw tears prick from the demons eyes "I dont want to go back to hell Angel, I cant do it again, Hell is a constant prison for humans but is a forever prison for demons like me and Alex, if Alex is caught helping Roxanne like this, he could be killed, I could be killed, you could be killed and I cant let that happen because your the only god damn good thing I have" Crocell paused, realizing what he had just said and turning away from the angel. Raguel stood there, eyes wide "do you mean that..." Crocell didnt answer "crocell...Do you mean that!" the angels voice stern "yes...I do"Crocell croaked as he turned his back to him. the room fell into an eiree silence as the two stood there "Crocell...I-"

Alex bursted through the front door with roxanne clutched closley to his chest "GET A BLANKET, NOW!!!" he shouted, the Angel quickly turned to get a blankcet while Crocell rushed over to hlep Alex with Roxanne "where should we put her?" "on the table, quickly she doesnt have much time" Crocell and Alex rushed over to the dining table and placed her ontop, her breathing was heavy and slow "Alex stay here with her, I have to get my books and potions" as Roxanne laid there, Alex couldnt help but feel responsible "this is all my fault Zildrac, if only I had-" "No Alex ths fault is mine, I was there with her, I could have stopped her but I-" "Enough talk you too, help me get this set up" the Angel came back with a blanket with patterns all around the surface creating a circle with strange diamond shapes and writting "Alex hold Roxanne while me and this angel get this set up" the dog morphed into a human type form and began helping Raguel with the blanket. Crocell came back with all sorts of book and bottle filled with strange colored liquids "Alright Alex, lay her in the middle of the circle" Alex did so "now everyone get back" Crocell shouted, he opened a page in his book and began reading from it, the language was strange and demonic but as the demon spoke, the circle began to glow red around Roxanne, Crocells eyes turned into a bright light orange as he continued to speak, Roxannes hair began to frail in the air as a dome was created around her "its just as I thought" Crocell muttered "what is it Crocell, whats wrong with her" Alex asked him "when she turned into a demon, she opened the door to another side of her, that being is beating the shit our of her as we currently are speaking." Alex's eyes went wide "when will she get out?!" "who knows, could be in the next 600 years if we're lucky" Alex could feel his heart stop "what" he gasped "its up to Roxanne whether she comes back or not" "but what if the thing she is fighting now comes back instead" "then Roxanne will forever remain in the dreamscape..." Alex's heart began to boil, his hands clutched "IS THERE ANYWAY WE COULD GO IN AND HELP HER!!!??" he roared "May god have mercy on her soul" was all Crocell could say, Alec turned his back to him and stormed out of the house...

Roxanne woke up in a strange terrian, burning buildings roared as the winds let loose on the dark empty land "WHERE AM I!?" she shouted "in the dreamscape" boomed a dark voice, Roxanne turned to the voice to be met with the demon she turned into, she crossed her arms and glared down at the demon "what do you want" she growled "your body" "get in line, that seems to be what every demon wants now" "thats not what I mean" "then what do you mean huh?!" she shouted, the demon looked at her for a second then toward the sky "Roxanne Delaware, this is the battle of life and death now, you awoke me from my million years of slomber and for that, now we must battle to see who will live in your body" Roxanne's eyes went wide "W-WHAT BUT THIS IS MY BODY!!! THIS IS MY DECISION AND MY CHOICE IS TO KEEP MY BODY AND YOU TO STAY ALSEEP!!!" the demon stared at her "you know very well that isnt an option my dear" the demon said darkly, Roxanne looked at the demon again then at the ground "you have an advantage since your a demon, I have no powers nor do I know how to use them, you could easily beat me to the ground, even kill me infact you could do it right now, why do you hold back, why not kill me and get it over with" she shouted, the demon remained broad and began walkign towards her "because Roxanne Delaware, whats the point of eating a gazell if it didnt run, whats the point of getting money if your not going to spend it, what the point of killing you if you cant fight back" Roxannes heart began to race as the demon was now above her, looming over her like a tower but she remained tall and was tall enough to be at the demons hips "so then...how is this going to work" the demon dropped the dagger into the girls hand "I will give you time to practice, 2 hours to be exact, if I win you will remain here for the rest of your days but if you win, i will remain here" the world around them went silent as the battle for life was about to eurpt "deal?" the demon said holding out his hand to her, the claws of the demons hand waiting for her hand, Roxanne thought for a moment, if she lost she would never go back to the human world but if she walked away she still wouldnt be able to go to the human world "fine, deal" she slowly placed her hand on his, the two shook and walked away "see you in 2 hours princess" "same as you demon"
