Michael: CHRIS, CHRIS, CAN YOU HEAR ME
Chris Woke up to the sound of a river flowing, crows and birds chirping
He was laying in the middle of a forest
He stood up to get a better look at his surroundings
It was night time but it wasn't pitch black there
There were plants that glowed like lanterns through out the forest.
Chris approached one
Something cought his eye that was floating in it
He picked one off a bush
And examined it closely
Chris: AAHH
Chris dropped the orb immediately after seeing what was inside.
The plant cracked open to reveal a skull.
Michael: CHRIS ARE YOU OK
Chris: Yeah I'm alright
Michael: Ok, good be careful the sooner you kill your demon the sooner you can leave.
Unless you would like me to help you out.
Chris: Thank you but no thanks
Do you have any information about the demon I will be facing any weaknesses and also how to find it.
Michael: Unfortunately I have no information about the significance of your demon.
Chris: Ok, as far as how to find it.
Michael: You and the demon are linked so when you are close to it, you will fill the pressure around you get stronger almost like a powerful wind blowing directly on you.
Chris: Ok, good to know.
Michael: I'm sorry but you will not be able to hear me from now on I wish you the best.
Chris: Thank you
Chris walked until he came to the end of the forest
What stood in front of him now was a village like town, and to Chris's surprise was full of people.
As Chris walked through the town he was confused by everything around him
Every one seemed so happy and full of joy
Kids were running around laughing and playing
The smell of pastries and gourmet dishes filled the streets
Kid: Hey Mister
Chris felt a tug on his pants leg.
He turned to see a little boy holding a plate of cookies.
Kid: Would you like to try one of my mom's famous cookies, the first ones free.
Chris: Oh, thank you but I'm ok
Kid: You don't like them?
Chris: No no, they look and smell great I just, already ate is all.
Kid: I'll let my Mom know you hate them
Chris: No wait alright fine if I try one you have to go give your mom a big hug.
Deal?
Kid: Ok, deal
Chris took a bite of one of the cookies.
Chris: Mmm wow this is great
Kid: You really think so
Chris: Yes , your Mom must be a great baker
Kid: Thank you Mister I'm going to go tell her right now.
Chris: Ok
The little boy ran into a bakery and hugged a lady that was inside.
The boy then pulled the lady's hand to go with him
He rushed her to Chris.
Hi I'm Denise I see you've met my son Ben
She said as she held out her hand.
Chris: Yeah you got yourself a great little business partner there.
Chris said shaking her hand.
Denise: Yep he takes after his father they sometimes drive me crazy but I love them.
Chris: I know what you mean
Denise: Really, you have kids?
Chris: No not yet but me and my soon to be are thinking about it.
Denise: Awww does this lucky lady have a name?
Chris: Yes, Rachel
Denise: Well congratulations
You know, what's you have kids your whole world changes
Chris: Thanks and Yeah I've heard.
Denise: Your not from around here are you.
Chris: Am I that obvious
Denise: Yeah kinda but, it's not a bad thing always nice to see new faces.
Chris: Glad to hear it.
Denise: So what brings you to Huntersville
Chris: Well you could say I'm here on business, just looking for someone and I'll be going back home after.
Denise: Well if you have a taste for a delicious treat, my bakery is right over there.
Chris: Thank you
Chris: Hey you wouldn't happen to know where I can find a weapons shop would you
Denise: Yes of course you just keep walking straight down this path until you see it on your right.
Chris: Thanks
Denise: No problem here take some Cookies to go, on the house.
Chris: Really, ok thank you
Chris put the cookies in his pocket
Well, I have to go but thanks again and hey lil man take care of your parents Ok
Ben: Ok
He waved then set out to find the shop
Denise: You know your never gonna get out of here.
Silence fell over the town
Chris looked around
Every one including the kids where staring directly at him now
Chills went down Chris's spine
Chris: Out of Huntersville?
Chris asked nervously
Denise: No out of the Mental Expansion
Your going to Die here.
The woman's voice became distorted
The lady began ripping off her flesh and morphed into a horrifying creature
Everyone else mimicked her actions
They all got larger, there legs and arms got longer as well as there fingers
And there teeth were as sharp as shards of glass
Chris was now running for his life as the creatures chased him.
Chris started getting dizzy and his vision blurry.
Denise: You can't run forever Angel the poison is already taking effect.
Chris: (Shit the cookies)
Chris kept running with out any since of direction
He could hear the mob of creatures catching up to him
He ran until he was cornered by a wall in an alley
The Creatures inched closer and closer
Denise: Aww, No where to run, don't worry we're not going to eat you just yet Tharaoh wants to see you
Chris: Who the Hell is that
Denise: Our master
Chris: Why don't you guys go on ahead I'll catch up.
Denise: Funny, you think you have a choice
Chris: I'm not feeling well so when you see Tharaoh tell him I said hey, besides I don't remember you asking nicely.
Denise: Enough, Tharaoh didn't say we had to bring you back alive so come with us or we'll drag you to him piece by piece.
Chris got into fighting stance
Chris: Well I guess we'll just have to see about that
The Creatures charged towards Chris
Voice: CHRIS, UP HERE
A Voice said from above him
Chris recognized the man's voice
The man stood on a balcony staring down at him
Man: Quick grab the rope
He dropped down a rope and Chris grabbed it
He immediately pulled Chris up
The Creatures smashed right into the brick wall.
Chris: Man am I glad to see you
Jake: I know right
It didn't take long for the creatures to recover, they stabbed there fingers into the wall and started climbing.
Chris: Shit time to go
Jake: Yep
The two ran into the what seemed like an abandon hospital.
Chris started slowing down
Jake: Hey this isn't the best time to take a break we need to keep moving.
Chris: I know but that bakery Lady poisoned me
Jake: Shit Why didn't you tell me that sooner
Jake pulled Chris into one of the rooms then closed and locked the door
Chris sat down feeling too weak to stand
Jake walked over to examine him
Jake: Just from looking at you I can tell that, that poison is killing you way faster then anything I've ever seen
Chris: How long do I have
Jake: Hard to say, could be hours could be minutes
Chris: Then we don't have time to waste
Chris stood up
Jake: whoa whoa whoa where the hell do you think you're going
Chris: Break times over like you said we need to keep moving.
Jake: You need to take a minute and think about this besides in your condition you couldn't out run those things even if you tried
Chris: What is there to think about, I'd rather Die fighting then wait for my time to run out
Jake: You don't have to die
Chris: Jake unless you have a cure on you I don't see any way out of this
Jake: Michael
Chris: What
Jake: You can ask Michael to take you out.
I'm sure he can heal you back to normal almost immediately.
Chris: That's not an option
Jake: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT AN OPTION, ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW
Chris: YES I AM
I'M NOT GIVING UP JUST BECAUSE SOME DEMON WANTS ME DEAD
Jake: CHRIS OPEN YOUR EYES, YOU'RE DYING
IT'S A LOSE-LOSE SITUATION IF YOU STAY HERE,
DO YOU EVEN HAVE A PLAN
Chris: Sometimes the best plan is to improvise
Jake: SO NO THEN
Chris: Your wasting your breath I'm not leaving
If you want to go then go but I'm not leaving
Jake: I know, some how I knew you we're gonna fight me on this but I still wanted to try to convince you anyway
Jake: I'm not going anywhere if you're staying then I'm staying
Chris: Are you sure, You don't have to stay if you don't want to
Jake: As sure as you are about staying
Chris: Thanks
Jake: Yeah yeah whatever
Chris: So what now
Jake: Well I do have an idea on how to get the poison out of your system
Chris: Really what is it
Jake: Well there's these glowing orb berries in the forest that have a liquid that might be able to cure you
Chris: You mean the orb with the skull in it
Jake: Oh so you've seen one of those
Chris: Yes I have
So please explain to me Why you think drinking that shit would help me
Jake: because I drunk it and it filled my body with energy
It felt amazing
Chris: Bro that's gross
Jake: Well I was really dehydrated and that's the only thing I saw.
Yeah it taste bad but it has a hell of a kick
Chris: Well I guess I don't have a choice do I
Jake: Nope, it's either that or ask Michael to take you out
Chris: Alright then let's go get that skull berry
Jake: Ok I'll check out side to see if the coast is clear
Jake looked out the door to see a hoard of creatures searching the floor
As he closed the door his body filled with fear as he locked Eyes with one of them
He shut the door then slid a hospital bed in front of it
Jake: They are definitely still out there
And I am almost definitely sure that they know where we are now
Chris: How sure
A loud roar echoed throughout the Hall
Jake: I'm pretty sure
The creature started pounding on the door
Jake: Shit what now
Chris and Jake held the hospital bed to the door
Jake: Any Ideas
Chris looked around the room
Chris: Right there, there's our exit
Chris pointed to a window
Jake ran to look out
There was a river flowing under it
Jake: You got to be kidding me
we're at least six stories high
Chris: If you got a better plan I'm all ears
Jake: Bro, No I can't do it you know I'm terrified of heights
Chris: I know but we don't have a lot of options here
Jake: No there has to be another way
Chris: There isn't, look close your eyes and count to three then jump
Jake: Ok ok one
Chris couldn't hold the door for much longer pieces of the door was flying off
Jake: Two
Chris looked back and saw one of the creatures staring back at him
Chris: THREE
Chris ran over to Jake and tackled him out the window
They could hear the creatures break down the door as they went out
Jake: AAAHHH
Chris: WOO HOO
They both hit the water
The rivers current started pulling them downstream rapidly.
It calmed down as they reach the forest.
Jake hurried out of the water to dry land with Chris following after
Chris: See not so bad was it
Jake turned to Chris and punched him
Jake: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND
Chris: Shit
Damn good punch
Chris said rubbing his jaw
Jake: YOU COULD HAVE KILLED US
Chris: Hey better me then them right
Jake: WHAT THE HELL TYPE OF LOGIC IS THAT
Chris: Yeah, No, sorry, you're right, We could have absolutely died but, we didn't ok
Where alive and I'd like to stay that way so can we please find this Barry.
After that we can do whatever you want but we need to stay focused right now.
Jake calmed down
Jake: Yeah shit, sorry bro but you did kinda of just tackled me out of a six story window
Chris: Yeah I know
Chris laughed then started coughing
Jake: Ok stay here I'll be back with the fruit
Jake left and didn't return until he had one of the orbs
Jake: Ok here drink up
Chris: You first
Jake: What why
Chris: To make sure it's safe
Jake: But I already told you I drunk one earlier
You don't trust me
Chris: Just making sure you are who you say you are
Jake: What do you mean
Chris: Michael didn't say anything about us ending up in the same dimension, but he absolutely said something about these demons being able to recreate anyone we know.
That Includes you
So like I said, you first
Jake looked down at Chris's hand, it was bald into a fist and started sparking yellow flashes of light
As if a fire was about to start
Jake: Ok fine since you feel that strongly about it
Jake Took three gulps of the berry juice
Jake: Still tastes disgusting but, man I feel great like I can fight a bear or something
Chris laughed
Chris: Ok calm down Mike Tyson
Jake: So did I pas
Chris: Not quite
Chris: what's my soon to be wife's name
Jake: Rachel
Chris: My favorite football team
Jake: The Steelers
Chris: Favorite band
Jake: Imagine dragons
Chris: How many kids do I have and what are there names.
Jake: Trick question you don't have any kids but you and Rachel are thinking about it.
Chris: Damn, Good job
Jake: I'm just lucky that I have a good memory
Jake said laughing
Chris: Yeah but I'mma still keep my eyes on you
Chris drunk the fruit then felt a rush of energy surge through his body
Chris: You weren't lying about the taste but I do feel great
Jake: See I told you
Jake: Ok what's the plan
Chris: Weapons.
Before that thing poisoned me, she told me where to find a weapons shop I'd like to see if she was lieing or not.
Jake: Ok let's go
They went back through the village but this time they stayed out of sight
The creatures were no longer in hiding they were now searching for them.
They got to the shop and geared up for the fight with Tharaoh
Jake: Ready?
Chris: Yeah but first a little motivation.
Jake: Ok but I don't think we have time for a speech.
Chris: No, just a quick prayer before our fight
Jake: ok sounds good
Chris place is hand on Jake's forehead then began
Chris: Dear heavenly father, I want to pray that you guide us in our battle, give us the ability to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of our blessing's, remind us of what we are fighting for and keep us motivated, we love you lord and thank you in Jesus name Amen.
The two was left feeling refreshed afterwards
Chris: Ok now let's go
The two left the shop and was immediately surrounded by the creatures.
Chris: Hey guys, just the ugly faces we were looking for
