Chereads / The Fifth Key To The Gate / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

So we've been walking for a little while now and I've grown kind of curious, which parent would let their daughter walk this length from and to school alone? Worst with out any real proper arrangements of a pick up? So I began to investigate and try and figure out why.

Sha-kai: "Hi may I ask you your name?"

she replied to me normally and immediately.

little girl: "I don't have a name,"

Ok she does not have a name, weird,... She could just tell me she doesn't wanna tell me... But still that wouldn't make any sense either...

Sha-kai: "ok what do your parents call you?"

Little girl: "I don't have any parents, the others only call me the one that consume many."

That placed a chile up my spine, not the thought that she may be an orphan but for reason why, this kid story so far makes me wanna ask her the only question that came to my mine next, and that was...

what are you?

She said in a scary voice before I could say the words.

Little girl: "I can answer that one, I'm a demon."

I stopped in my tracks totally speechless, unable to fathom or comprehend what this child just told me, and not wanting to believe it either way.

Sha-kai: (nervous smile) "come on little one, stop playing."

Her eyes then started glowing a hue of red. Which totally got me frozen at one point and then totally freaked me out the next... I started take one step slowly backwards away from her

Sha-kai "De-de-de-demon,"

Little girl: "yes."

Upon noticing what she had done earlier, I started to hyperventilate...

Sha-kai: (thoughts) "Wait she just read my mind... Normal people can't just freaking read minds!!!"

Little girl: "yes I did it's quite easy to read it actually,"

Her voice has changed, it was the same scary deep voice I heard earlier this morning.

Flash back:

Sha-Kai: " Haaa... Well life on a whole is just messed up..."

Scary voice: "You haven't seen the half of it,"

End of flash back:

I could only muster up one question, and it was

Sha-kai: "what do you want?

she replied smirking at me as she pointed her index finger at me

Little girl: "The Key,"

Sha-kai: "What Key?"

Little girl: "The Key that had been sealed within you"

Sha-kai: "What are you talking about? look here kid, I think your games have been going on long enough."

little girl: "one of the seven Keys to open the gates of Hell."

Key, gate, Hell? Nothing this child was saying to me was making any fathomable or tangible sense to me... However something in my gut kept telling me to run away run as far and as quickly as possible away from this child otherwise she would and is going to kill me.

Little girl: "well believe what you want but to get the Key I have to devour you first, "

Sha-kai: (thoughts) "I think this kid have lost a screw or two."

Little girl: " Ooh trust me, I'm totally screwed up."

Sha-kai: "your totally is not!"

The little girl hands started to turn black and her eyes were fully glowing up. At this time I believed she wasn't human for the hidious form she was taking.it was at this point what she just said to me really started to hit truth and home to me..

Sha-kai: "de-de-de-devour..... There's no way thats gonna happen!"

As I was ready to run home there was no path to run on I was completely surrounded by tightly pack trees up on trees that are rapidly growing over me, the little girl disappeared, just leaving this very scary six armed, four legged creature before me that looked like a dead corps walking with eight eyes and something looked like five mouths combined the cute skin she had was now replaced by this jet black color of coal.

Without hesitation and running off pure human responsive instincts... I dash towards the trees trying to climb them to escape, but as one hand grabbed a branch and I started to get up. I suddenly got hit, the pain I felt was excruciating, never have I felt so much pain in my life. But never the less I tried once more and the result was the same.

Demon: " Humans never learn, first you all get afraid and try to run, then soon after you all either try something stupid or just start praying. But anyway you take it, your end is the same. And the funny thing about it is, we demons like the look of terror in your eyes. It makes your body and soul so much more delicious.

As I lay their on the ground, I looked around once more, it was totally dark and the demon was the only thing I could see.

Sha-kai: " So this was it, this is how I'm gonna die."

As I watched, hear, and feel the trees grow and blocked the last remaining light. I decided that this was happening and I need to face the facts, it was funny how fight and flight mode could rapidly jump into gear. So I decided to do something stupid, like hell, what do I have to lose. Kicking at the creatures made it managed to lose gripp on my leg. I then took the opportunity to run towards the creature to attack it with every last energy I got left in my bones and fight my way out of this shit of a nightmare.

As I jumped on the creature and bit it in its neck like I was a vampire sinking my teeth in, I could taste the blood going down my throat, and into my body. But I didn't care as long as I get out of here I'm fine. But the creature grabbed me and throw me over into the trees, I literally felt every bone in my body broke from my toes, to my spine, through my neck and the rest of my body. The creature said in a worst of a scary tune

Creature: "You are going to pay for that, I think I'll torture you first and then devour you after"

After hearing that and feeling so much pain, I realized I was out matched and out of ideas. I guess this was how my end was supposed to be, Dying by the hands of a demon and have my body and soul devoured. what a sad ending I I thought I would be getting for a fucked life this year. The only thing that I could say was this.

Sha-kai: "God.... If you're up there, please help me, I know I've been a piece of shit this year... but please...I need your help.... Send me someone or something to help me.... I need you... Please!....

Out of nowhere, I felt something hot entered my stomach... it was then I realized, the demon had stabbed me in the gut with one of its arms I looked at it, and it at me, it said to me.

Demon: " It's useless praying, because no one is coming, this is how you'll die."

I then begun to feel weak, I guess it was because of the amount of blood I lost or something, but suddenly this burst of light overwhelmed the surrounding and the only thing I saw was something like a hallucination of an angel flying down up on me. I guess I was really hallucinating it, because the last bit of hope I had was just destroyed.

Sha- kai: "chuckling softly) " Hehe heh.... What a pitiful way to die.... I guess... I'll be leaving everyone behind....fuck..."

Moments later, darkness to the place of the light and I blocked out.... It's was over...

Sha-kai: " I.... wish..... I've...done... something...better with my... My... Life... "
