Yeah? Well, she started it!
Okay, I’m definitely not one to go out on the town in search of the big evils for which to pummel, but having this…THING in front of us, which was obviously NOT human, and it not attacking--and us not attacking… There is too much non-attacking going on here! See, this is why I don’t patrol often.
I should be happy that all it wants to do is gab the night away, right? I’ve got the gift of gab but this was just unnatural. Evil attacks good-good kills the attacking evil, nowhere in there does it say good and evil have an awkward powwow and exchange words. Not counting the occasional witty banter that’s exchanged at times.
Whatever this thing was she gave me the heebie jeebies and I was so over it. The way she looked at us…it made me feel like she wasn’t seeing us at all, just staring right through us…like we were nothing. Possibly even less than that.
“Look, lady, what’s your deal?” Well, no one else would ask this question to a…thing, so guess I’ll do it. “What team do you bat for exactly? Evil would have made a move on us by now and not be boring us with useless facts. Lilith, wife of Adam, yadda-yadda-yadda. I skipped both Bible studies and demonology for the lack of giving a flying fig about either. So, if you don’t mind can you throw a punch…preferably not aimed at our faces…or get gone?”
Too much?
I looked back at Alan and got my answer in the form of a very strange facial expression. Ya know, before now I never realized how pale that guy was. Hmm. Shrugging a bit I looked back to Lilith..or, uh, where Lilith HAD been standing, only now there was a jet black demon with amber colored eyes in that exact spot.
“Holy shi--“
I was cut off and gasped as an arrow zipped by me and embedded itself into the demons right shoulder. It barely flinched…
“Alan?! Who let him have the bow? You nearly took my ear-“ I turned around again and Alan was bowless. Abby now had the weapon and it was still aimed even though it wasn’t loaded anymore. “Fine, YOU nearly took my ear off!”
The demon screeched at an almost unbearable level but I don’t think it was in pain…just really, really pissed.
“You wanted to fight, Nikki. Now shut up and do that..”
“Not with THIS! With the less violent looking one…”
I whimpered a bit but hardly had time to dwell on the crappiness of the situation when this thing dashed our way in a blur. I pushed Dawn to the side and then managed to pull back, allowing it to go right by us. It clipped Alan’s arm, but he was fine. It had what it wanted at the moment. Abby.
She was pinned at the neck against a tree trunk by the onyx demon. Dropping the bow she held she tried to pry the creature’s hand off. With a quick yell Alan joined in and made use of a downed tree limb he’d found and charged to the rescue…or, attempted rescue. He sort of just got batted to the side like a toy this thing got tired of playing with.
Why can’t I just learn to keep my mouth shut?
[[You know who you are...now get in here. Uh, please? *bats eyelashes*]]
