Alone At Last
I finally figured out that the demon was communicating telepathically by the way my armor was wigging out. It made me curious as to what she might actually be saying, but maybe I was lucky that I didn't know. Suddenly she cast a spell and we were both blown backwards. Landed hard, I heard the sound of screeching metal as I skidded across the

When he said everything would be alright, in that moment, that was all the reassurance I needed. I believed it wholeheartedly, along with everything that followed it. But, the serendipitous course of events seemed to be put on pause with the rising of his final question.
Turning my attention away from him and to the mouth of the alley, I debated with myself internally. I fear little, or...so I thought. But coming face to face with my father while here had been the scariest thing I’ve ever done... And now I’m being asked if I want to go through that again? Not to mention the fact goddess knows who else is there. And, no, keeping my distance couldn’t be vert productive of me, but it was safer... I guess I figured if I wait long enough, eventually it would get...easier?
"No..." I shook my head while returning my focus to him. "...but...I'll go anyway."
And look, there went my sense of better judgement... Never did use it much anyway.

"I will be with you the entire time, and if things get to be too much then we can leave together."
Smiling confidantly as I gazed into her eyes lovingly, I slipped my hand into her's.
"Do you know where the house is already or do you want me to lead the way?"

I gave a cocky smirk which just server as a mask to hide some inner doubts I retained on the situation I'd just gotten myself into.
With our hands linked I started away from the alley, though in all actuality, I wouldn't have minded staying there...which was kind of a first. Giving his hand a slight squeeze I nodded some.
"I do know where it is... I've been there once since arriving here. Well...technically I was across the street, but still."
He doesn't really need to know about the whole...falling asleep on a strangers front lawn and the conversation I had with a sprinkler system...
"I was there right before I met you in the graveyard actually..."

Holding hands, we walked out of the alley. When she squeezed my hand, I turned and smiled at her.
"Never went inside? Well you didn't miss much. It's rather drab inside..."
Smiling at her to let her know that I was joking, my eyebrows rose in surprise at what she told me.
"Really? You were?"
Remembering our first meeting, I smiled at the memory of her leaping from gravestones.
"I liked you from the first moment we met. Though your graveyard activities had me doubting your sanity at first..."
Kissing her cheek, my eyes glittered teasingly at her as I grinned playfully. We were getting closer to the house...I knew she had the strength to do this. Not physical strength, inner strength.

I frowned a bit, but the expression quickly faded as I failed to manage keeping in my laughter.
“Are you always so calm and accommodating when insane girls decide to follow you for no particular reason?”
Why was it that when you were in no real rush to get somewhere you seemed it get there quicker, whereas if you were really antsy to get somewhere the trip seemed to drag on endlessly? Stupid odd unexplainable happenings of the universe.
As we rounded the the block that lead to the house I could feel my stomach begin to knot.

I was worried that I had offended her, but her frown soon turned into laughter. Now it was my turn to frown...till I heard her question, then I chuckled.
"Just to the cute ones."
Shaking my head, we rounded a corner...and their it was. The house was in sight, and I could sense Abby tensing beside me.
"It will be alright Abby. They will love you...there is nothing to fear."
