Chapter 2:
I woke up to the sound of fire crackling and to the smell of smoke. I scanned my room of any signs of a flame, but saw nothing. Our house didn't have a fire alarm system, because I didn't think we'd ever need it. I jumped out of bed and ran to Rage's room to wake him up. And when I opened the door, Rage's bed was completely surrounded by fire. He seemed to be alive. At first I stood there in shock. Then I did something I didn't think I'd ever do. I screamed. A full on, scream. Rage bolted up and stared at me. Then he realized what was happening. "What do I do Hollow?" he yelled to me, sounding frantic and afraid. "Go out the window and climb down the tree!" I screamed to him. He nodded and lept to the window. I watched as he slowly descended down the tree. I ran into my room, grabbed my cell phone, and bolted out the door. I ran into the backyard, and Rage stood there, looking in his window. He noticed me as I was running to meet him. Then, some weird shit started happening.
Both of Rage's entire eyes turned blood red. A small circle appeared beneath his feet. It had ancient writing that I didn't understand. A circle of flames surrounded his feet. A red beam of light reached up to the sky. "Rage!" I screamed. But I could only stand and watch. All of the sudden, he opened his mouth and said, "finally." I was relieved that Rage had said something, but then I realized that he hadn't said it in his voice. He sounded like… "Oh god no." I said softly. And then I screamed it. "NO!" Then all the flames died the circle disappeared. The beam was gone, and his eyes turned back to normal. He collapsed. I ran to his side. I immediately felt his heart rate. It was slow, but he'd be fine. He was still breathing, which was good. Then I grabbed my phone and called the Fire Department and the Hospital. I was still in shock after what had just happened. There was no doubt about it, Rage had just spoke in the voice of Satan.
