4 days till the end of the world
Mason's house
12:00 AM
Mason stood in his bathroom breathing heavily, staring at himself in the mirror, his body drenched in water and his hands covered in blood...' whats wrong with me, why can't I feel myself...' he looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes wide and red, his hands stained in blood "see kid...now you are invincible" Mason took his gaze from his hands and looked up at the mirror again in horror...for a demon stole his reflection...
Mason screamed as he fell to the ground "MOM?!?!" he screamed, he scrambled onto his feet "MOM!!!" he screamed again rushing out of the bathroom, voices in his head screaming at him, calling him "THERES NOWHERE TO GO MASON, YOU CHOSE THIS FATE!!!" Mason ran down the hallway to his mother's bedroom "MOM I NEED YOUR HELP I-" when he threw open the door, this eyes widened "m-" his mother sat up in her makeup chair "mom-" he choked, tears streaming down his cheeks...he walked toward's his mother "don't worry mom-" he reached out to touch her cold shoulder "everything will be a fine mom-" he hugged her body, blood still draining from where he eyes should have been "i promise..." his body began to morph, his back extending into strange shapes as he let out a grizzly roar before devouring his mother's lifeless corpse "you and me are going to be a great team..." the demon chuckled darkly
six hours later...
Roxanne woke up to the sound of her alarm blaring "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" she shouted before throwing her alarm at the wall, shattering it into a million pieces "man I fucking hate that thing" she growled, she took a deep breath but as she did she got a whiff of an intoxicating smell in the air "oh Alex...you know me so well" she jumped out of bed and rushed downstairs in her PJ's, Alex stood in front of the stove in a dorky flower apron, Crocell and Raguel sat at the table "oh well look who finally decided to get up" Crocell said as he put down his newspaper "well I don't blame the poor dear, she had one heck of a day yesterday, fighting off demon after demon" the angel said before taking another sip of his coffee "well Roxanne, have a seat and I will give you your breakfast" Alex said in a womanly tone "Alex for some reason you look good in that apron" Roxanne chuckled, Alex smirked "I know I do, I can rck this thing on a runway and be on the cover of magazines" he said handing her a plate of food, Roxanne smelled the food...Bacon and veggie omelets with tiny pieces of hot dogs were always her favorites, her real father used to make them all the time when he could never bring back a real meal, he would cry and drink when he couldn't be the father he had to be but Roxanne...no matter what always loved him and could never be mad at him... "I think you've outdone yourself this time Alex, this is amazing" she smiled while taking another bite of her omelet "it's just the same old recipe as always, if you'd let me I could make it better" "nope, let's keep it the way it is" Roxanne smiled, Raguel smiled at this and thought 'maybe...just maybe...' Crocell looked at his friend "hey bud, you okay?" Raguel looked at the demon "im fine, just lost in thought" he smiled, looking back over at him "she'll be good, I know it" the angel said but then winced Roxanne saw this and turned to the man "is something wrong?" she said to him "yes...there is something in the air..." the angel said, Crocell sniffed the air "yeah there is, Alex can you smell that?!" Alex dropped everything and Rushed to Roxanne "there's been a murder... I can smell it" Alex growled, he clutched Roxanne tightly close to his chest as Roxanne tried to smell the air as well "how come I can't smell it?" she asked "well it may be because your not fully a demon yet" "but im part demon too, shouldn't I be able to smell whatever your smelling?" Crocell looked at her "well princess when you were placed in a human family, you also became part human, the dark lord made sure that you would blend in with the humans thus that means that you will become a full demon when the time comes" crocell then looked towards the window "well It looks like the humans already know about it, look at the police cars going by" Roxanne broke from Alex's grasp and rushed toward the window, car after car rushed by her home "lets go follow them" Roxanne said as she grabbed her jacket "how about no" Alex said as he took the coat from her "but, WHY!!" she whined "because Roxanne, you dont know if there is going to be a demon there, remember your not fully a demon yet so your vulnerable-" before he could finish, Roxanne had already rushed out the door "damnit" Alex growled "oh Alex, she's just a child, let her have fun" the angel chirped "I do let her have fun, just not when it comes to dead bodies" Alex said as he also rushed out the door...
as Roxanne rushed down the street, a bad feeling began to boil in her gut 'this route seems familiar...' she told her self before looking at the street sign 'oh no, this is masons street' she slowly began to panic before a police cruiser came rushing past her...' please for the love of God, don't turn right' she watched anxiously as the police zoomed down the road, before turning the corner...Roxanne's jog turned into a sprint 'what did you do now mason...' she asked herself. she ran to a house that was blocked off with yellow police tape, officers blocking off people who wanted to know, she turned to see mason being comforted by a paramedic, she rushed over to him "mason what happened, are you okay?" she placed her hands on his shoulder's, he looked at her with a blank face "my...mom..." "what about her, is she okay where is she?!" Mason placed his hands on her hands "she...was murdered...by something that..." he began to choke up "what happened to her?" she asked again, Mason's eyes began cloudy and wet "SHE WAS TORN TO SHREDS, THERE'S PIECES OF HER EVERYWHERE, ALL OVER THE WALLS, IN THE HALLS, ALL I SEE IS HER BODY, EVERYWHERE!!!" he sobbed, Roxanne was shooed away by the paramedic as she continued to comfort Mason, Alex grabbed Roxannes shoulders and stood firmly behind her "why did you run away like that, you scared the shit out of me" he yelled at her, Roxanne looked away from him "I wanted to see what was going on, you shouldnt have followed me here anyways" she snapped, she then swiftly moved away from him, Alex growled at this "do you know that everything I do for you is for your benifit Roxanne, from keeping you safe to making sure everything is fine" " okay and i get that but there are times when i would handel things on my own, im going to be 16 soon so I have to start figuring out things on my own" "but you dont have to do it alone" Alex said to her but his words did nothing but ensure that she was leaving...
Roxanne walked down the street still in her Pajamas "ZILDRAC!!" she shouted, she huffed out a sigh before the demon dog came rushing out of some nearby bushes "what's wrong are you okay" "yeah, I just need a ride home, could you..." "say no more, hop on" Roxanne got on top of the demon dog, defeated and drained "what's the matter, usual your a little less negative" the dog stated " is ti wrong for me to ask for some space? Is it bad to just want to get in trouble alone? can I even be trusted alone?" she groaned "you're being dramatic, Alex is just looking after you, you need to let him in" the dog barked "how did you-" "were bound remember?" Zildrac chuckled "don't be so mad at him, your parents will be gone for a while so he needs to be at your side at all times...well most of the time I should put it really, I don't want it to sound like I'm giving you bad advice but the guy is just trying to look after you"...
moments later...
Roxanne got dressed in daytime clothes and grabbed her purse. Alex was downstairs with nice attire on as if going to a meeting "so where are we gonna do?" Alex shouted up the stairs "I think we should spoil ourselves at the mall, I need to get some new clothes anyway especially if I'm going to be the devil's daughter right?" Roxanne shouted, Alex rolled his eyes at this and slumped back on the leather couch "she should not be proud of that thought" he muttered to Zildrac, who munched on leftover ham from dinner "I agree with you but also not, yes she shouldn't be proud of that thought... but she also has to embrace it and not be afraid of it, you know like taking a bull by the horns" "except the bull is the overlord of hell and will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants" Alex stood back up, looking down at the dog " Alex stop acting like a child, she is her own person, you also need to respect that" "oh so now being her own person means excepting her demon father" "he is her father" "SO FUCKING WHAT, HER FATHER IS A LOW LIFE PIECE OF SHIT THAT WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN BY GOD HIMSELF ALL BECAUSE HE DIDNT AGREE TO HAVE HUMANS WALK UPON THE SOIL!!!" Zildrac stopped knawing on his bone and stood up, he then shifted into his human form while growling at the demon, Zildrac then began clapping slowly "WOW CONGRADU-FUCKING-LATION YOU KNOW THE BIBLE BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOMETHING DOESNT MEAN you're AN EXPERT DUBMASS BUT LETS GET ONE THING STRAIGHT, AND CLEAR..." Zildrac then grabbed Alex by his neck and threw him back onto the chair, before Alex could get back up he was suddenly pinned down by Zildracs hands on his shoulders, forcing him to look up at the dog half-human. Zildrac was pissed, his eyes glowing an ember and claws digging deep into Alex's shoulders before leaning closer into Alex's ears "you will not ever...EVER...harm her or her father, if I even see a tear shed by her because of you...I will not hesitate to kill you" Zildrac swiftly removed himself from on top of the demon and looked towards the stairs "hey Alex are you ready to go" Roxanne said in a perky way, before Alex could answer though, Zildrac butted in "why Roxy, you look lovely" Zildrac transformed back into his dog form "thanks buddy, I'm just trying to let loose, you know since my parents are gone, without letting me know in person" she sighed before patting the dogs head, she turned to look at Alex who was now standing up straight with his claws in his pockets, his hair slicked back with gel "well don't we look fancy, a little over the top for two friends setting the town on fire" "well now I think I should put something else on since we are now going to destroy the town" he chuckled "Nah, let's just get drunk or something, I dont feel like doing all that work" "well getting drunk is not an option, lets just go to the mall like planned" "but I dont have any money" "not even the money for 'charity'" "hey, thats for a car" she giggled "well for now, lets get in my car" Alex said picking her up bridal style, the two laughing while Zildrac stood, growling....
The Mall...
"come on Alex, we should go check out the Arcade!!" "oh come on, my legs hurt and im STARVING!!" Alex groaned "we can eat pizza in the arcade if that-" "but I dont want pizza, I want to put down all this stuff and eat at the food court if thats not too much to ask" Alex struggled to hold large bags of expensive Items in his two hands "well then why dont you just turn into a demon and grow more hands" Roxanne giggled "because 1, there are humans here and 2 thats not how that works at all, its alot more compicated than just 'growing arms'" Roxanne took a few bags from him to lighten the load "well then, why dont we just find one of those baby strollers and put these in there" Alex snatched the bags back from her " but what if someon needs it, what if we get in trouble" "we wont and plus no one really uses them anyway so its just free picking" Roxanne walked over to the lot of baby strollers and took one from the holder, she brought it back and helped Alex place the many bags inside "see, whos a genius now, I AM!~" she sang, Alex chuckled before lightly bonking her on her head "dork" he said "yeah whatever, lets head to the food court cause now your making me hungry" "how am I doing that?" "your talking too much and I want to have an excuse to ignore you" Roxanne smirked while Alex groaned and rolled his eyes.
the two sat in the center of the food court with Roxanne who was eating cashew chicken with fried rice and Alex who had ramen noodles with chunks of pork and bits of eggs "so after lunch, we're going to the Arcade?" Roxanne chuckled "I thought you didnt want to go? I thought you were here just to get cloths and other stuff" "yeah well I feel like kicking your ass at shooter boy again" Roxanne stopped smiling "YOU CHEATED MISTER AND I KNOW YOU DID!" "but you have no proof" Roxanne groaned before taking a bite out of her chicken "I know you cheated some how" "but you still have no proof~" Alex sang before his phone started to ring "who's that?" she asked, Alex picked up his phone and growled "its hell, they need me to come in" "like right now? but I thought you didnt have to go until tomorrow?" "yeah well hell is a hell and they seem to never be done tormenting" Alex shoved the rest of his ramen down his throat and proceeded to get up but not before Roxanne latched herself onto him "oh come on, tell them to fuck off and lets keep hanging out, im having so much fun" she whimpered, Alex chuckled before removing her "Roxanne, you know I cant just do that, when you get a job you'll understand but for now im going to head out" "but whats about me, what am i gonna do?" Alex threw his card at her "go crazy just not too crazy" he chuckled before walking away, Roxanne stood still before opening her phone, she opened an app that allowed a user to track where a person is at a certain time "show me the gates to hell bud" she said as she slowly started to follow him...
Alex made the usual turns toward the baby store to the nearby coffee shack with Roxanne trailing behind him closely with her phone close to hand "yes the usual please" "Of course Mr. Alex" said a young waitress, she proceeded to make him a cup of coffee with whip cream and chocolate bits on top "will that be all sir" "yes, thank you very much" Alex said with a smile before walking away "I knew that bastard drinks coffee" she sighed. Alex then headed towards the upper level of the mall where the large glass dome shined allowed the sun to shine through, he took the escalator upwards with Roxanne still on his tail, he then entered a nearby book store called "Tom's fine literature" Roxanne stood confused 'since when did he read books' she thought before entering the store, she watched as Alex greeted the old bookkeeper and began to walk down the romance shelves of books 'gross' Roxanne thought. Alex continued to walk down until he stopped and looked at one of the books called 'intoxicating encounter' he pulled on the book, chanting, and soon a red hue filled the area, the book shook in his grasp as a large circle with strange markings and a picture of a star formed in the center 'level 5' he said before being teleported and everything going back to normal "holy shit" Roxanne muttered, before rushing over with glee "now for the fun part" Roxanne said, she pulled out the book and chanted the same words but nothing happened, she did it again and still nothing happened "damnit" she growled but then an idea popped in her head "OH ZILDRAC, I NEED YOU!!"she cooed, and soon came to her loyal hell hound "yes Roxy?" he asked "can you help me get to hell? please" she said putting her hands together and putting her puppy dog eyes on "what?" the dog said confused "okay so I would like to go to hell but the portal wont open for me, can you possibly help me out" "why would you want to go to hell?" "well...I want to see what Alex does down there...andpossiblymeetmydadandconvincehimthatIshouln'tdestroyallofmankindandhopefullysavetheworld?" she shrugged her shoulders, Zildrac put his paw on his face and groaned "you do know that this is very dangerous right, especially for YOU" "why is it so dangerous for me?" "because you're the princess of hell and your part human" "oh yeah" Roxanne chuckled "well is there still anyway you could send me" Zildrac looked at her for a moment "do you still have your dagger?" "yup" Zildrac rolled his eyes "fine, lets get this done and over with but if I get caught, im kicking your ass" Roxanne smiled brightly. Zildrac turned into his human form and grabbed the book tightly off the shelf and began to say some sort of strange incitation, Roxanne could feel the air pick up around her as a red light bursted under her, the circle with the star and strange symbols appeared under her, spinning slightly "which level would you like to go to?" Zildrac asked "which ever level has my dad there" "say to level 9" Roxanne looked down at the spiraling circle now unsure, but it was too late to go back now "level 9" the wind began to grow violent, the spiral under her began to turn into water, she yelped as she began to fall into the spiral before it disappeared with her in it. Zildrac closed the book and placed it back on the shelf before walking out of the store...
