Here's chapter 3!!
Diclaimer: I only own Alexander O. Abner
Jennifer's POV in Needy's dream
"Alexander who?" I asked.
"Alexander O. Abner, come on Jen there's a reason why you wrote that name, think back please."
I tried but I don't even remember writing that list, it must have been the demon.
"Needy why is this so important anyways?"
"Maybe… just maybe he knows a way to bring you back."
I never thought of it that way but it did make sense. The dude studies the paranormal so maybe he can bring me back to life. That would be so fasome. Fasome means fucking awesome for you silly morsels out there. My body started to tingle which could only mean one thing; Needy's waking up.
"No wait-" but it was too late as I saw my room appear again. I let out a frustrated groan, it wasn't fair that I can only talk to her while she's asleep.
"Hey Jennifer," Ginger said. She didn't look like she was in a very good mood either. She had claw marks all over her body which can only mean that she couldn't get through Bridgette yet. It's a long and complicated story between them but Ginger can only see Bridgette in dreams because Bridgette isn't herself when she's awake, whatever that means. The wounds on Ginger were slowly disappearing and she noticed that I was puzzled by something.
"It's not easy to figure out you look even more air headed," She said. Whoever thought of pairing Ginger as my counselor is a fucking sadist. I ignored her comment and explained to her about my situation about the name.
"You really want to know why you wrote that name?" She asked with that creepy smile. This red head had something up her sleeve but I had no idea what. I nodded, my throat feeling suddenly dry.
"Yes! I've always wanted to go there."
"Where is there?" Not liking where this was going.
"You'll seeeeeeeeeeee," She sang. She grabbed my hand and told me to close my eyes for my sake. She didn't have to tell me twice.
"Open them."
The first thing I noticed was that wherever we were it was freaking hot! There was fire everywhere and people screaming out in agony and oh my god I know where we are! It doesn't take a fucking genius to know where I'm at.
I'M IN HELL!
I've never seen Ginger look so excited as we walked through the place. There were faceless creatures feeding on rotting flesh and even each other. There were people screaming for help but that only made the torture worse. My stomach twisted in a knot as I saw the different torture devices. This was fucking gross. It made hostel look like a caring hospital for the sick.
"Here we are," Ginger said letting go of my hand. I couldn't help but let out a gasp as I recognized a couple of faygos I'd thought I'd never see again.
Low Shoulder.
Each of them were in a different contraptions that made my stomach churn. There was only one demon that was with them but once he spotted us and he left what he was doing to greet us.
"Okay Balthazar meet Jennifer, vice versa . K now that I've done my job I'll be right back."
Before I could object Ginger had already left. Where did she go?"
"I don't think an introduction was necessary," the demon said. He didn't look like he was going to hurt me but that didn't mean he wasn't fugly to look at.
"I don't get it," I said.
"Awww come on Jennifer I'm hurt don't you recognize me," he chuckled. His yellow eyes scared me but it was the way he smiled that sent a chill down my spine.
Then it hit me.
This was the demon that shared my body!
He was responsible for killing all the morsels and ruining my life. He started to laugh his deep booming voice making my hair stand up. I hated this creature from the very depth of my soul.
"Your counselor said you had a question for little old me."
Oh right the mystery man.
"Alexander O. Abner, who was he and why was he important to you?"
His smile disappeared but his eyes still had a playful glint in them.
"Normally I wouldn't help anyone out but you gave me a fun time in Devil's Kettle. Alexander could have helped solve my many problems depending on his mood," he said smiling.
"What do you mean?"
"He's a bastard son of a demon with a mortal woman. That's why he knows so much about our kind."
"So he's evil?" I asked.
"Again it depends on his mood… he has an evil side and it will only come out when the human side is weak. It's an internally struggle that he is force to fight everyday till his death because he feels that he was given this power to help mankind not destroy it so he kills anything malevolent."
"So how could he have helped you?"
"I was going to visit him to see if he could help me with my situation if not I would have just killed him and become a hero in hell. That'd way I'd never lose and it wouldn't be a waste of time."
He was avoiding my question but I wasn't going to give in so easily, I was going to ask one more time, "What was your problem?"
"I was betting that he knew how to get rid of a host but I never got a chance since your girlfriend ended our fun."
That son of a bitch was trying to get rid of me. That fucking bastard.
"Awww come on Jennifer you know it was fun while it lasted but sooner or later I would have a found a way to get rid of you."
"Fuck you."
"Here let me show you what I do in my free time," his eyes practically glowing with excitement. He was assigned to torture Low Shoulder and only them. The drummer had his hands pierced everyday by nails driven in thanks to Balthazar. The other three whose names I couldn't remember were given different devices like rats feeding on their insides, or being boiled in hot ass oil till their skin melted off or worse have other creatures feed on them, I wanted Balthazar to stop but I also didn't want to give him the satisfaction of scaring me. Nikoli was given the 'special treatment.' He had a Herat fork through his chest and something called a choke pear shoved down his throat. I could see his throat bulging from the size of the choke pear and even skin started to split. I think the worst part of it all was that the band had to play "Through the Trees' every day after their torture sessions. If Balthazar didn't like it he'd go back to chain them on the wall and have "fun" with them. I wanted to leave and NOW.
"Ginger is over there visiting an old friend too," my demon said. He didn't have to tell me twice as I quickly ran out before I vomited. I never thought once he could have been lying to me about where Ginger was but was relieved to see her further in the path. She was standing in front of a cage looking eerily calm. Whatever was in there growled and shook the cage violently. Once up close I could see it looked like a huge wolf. It made Jacob Black look like a little pussy compare to this creature.
"Even in hell they don't know how to contain you," Ginger whispered to herself. I wanted to ask her if that was what I thought it was but decided against it. If I make her mad she might leave her here.
"Let's go," she said walking away from the beast, those words were like music to my ears.
Needy's POV
Meeting Alexander isn't what I expected. I imagined meeting him at a university's library, well dressed and researching for his next book. What I actually found was him drunk, passed out at an ally and reeked so bad I think my nostrils are damaged. After searching through his wallet I dragged his sorry ass to his apartment. Not once did he wake up except for the occasional burps and hiccups. I dropped him on his bed wondering what I should do now. The room was brightly lit and I was able to get a good look at him. He had a nicely tone body, dirty blonde hair and a cute face not exactly salt but acceptable. He sort of reminded me of Brad Pitt especially with the beard thing going on. This was the man that was going to help me bring Jennifer back.
He has to.
My eyelids felt heavy and I feel asleep hoping to see Jen soon.
Jennifer's POV
Based on Balthazar's info on Alexander I've decided that it's too dangerous. I couldn't believe that Needy found him and was asleep in his apartment.
"But Jen-"
"No Needy I don't like him."
"Why not?" For once Needy was acting like a blonde.
"How many times do I have to tell you he's half-demon!"
"But he might be able to bring you back."
"No." I hated being firm but she wasn't thinking straight.
"What are you so afraid of."
"That he might hurt you!"
"That's not the reason you're just jell-o"
"Of What!?"
"You always ere so possessive of me."
"Because I'm trying to protect you."
"Funny that's not how I remember it. The last time Chip was saving me from you." That was a hardcore low blow right there. The demon was after her not me but it didn't matter Needy still can't tell the difference. "Fine if you want to put yourself in danger go ahead and do it."
"Jennifer just trust me."
"I do trust you Needy but don't you get it? You're safer driving a Prius than being with that man. I trust the driver just not the car." Needy scoffed at my last comment but it didn't change anything. Chip was wrong she didn't do everything I said and hopefully it won't cost her, her life.
"Fine but once he goes Jesse James on your ass don't come crying back to me." She didn't say anything but she hadn't change her mind so there was only one thing left to do. I turned my back to Needy so I wouldn't see the look on her face when I raised my finger and did a X sign. After that I returned to limbo feeling like dog shit. I knew I hurt her but I refuse to be a part of this plan. Till she has her head on straight I'm not going to visit her.
Needy's POV
Have you've ever woken up after fighting with your dead girlfriend? Yeah, I bet you haven't but I've got the monopoly of pain right now. Not only that But I woke up staring at a rifle aimed at me. Shit he woke up before me.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"I-I'm Needy," I responded. He didn't like my answer because he clicked the safety off. Think Needy, think.
"Listen I know what it's like to feel like no one understands you like you're crazy but you know the real truth about things."
"What are you talking about?" he lowered the gun but he's piercing blue eyes never leaving me. I slowly grabbed the barrel and with a push of my thumb bended the barrel backwards. He had a holy shit look on his face which would have been funny under different circumstances.
"How did you do that?" he asked. I expected him to be hostile but he sounded more excited than anything. It felt good not to be treated as a freak for once.
"It's a long story."
"I've got time."
Thus, the beginning of two people who had been fucked by the paranormal finally finding each other. He listened to everything I had to say and it made me feel sane again.
"So you want to bring Jennifer back?"
"Is it possible?"
"Oh yes it is quite possible."
Oh my god this is it Jen what we've been waiting for!
"You see the demon and human have a bond that cannot be broken unless by a spell or mortal wound but the host must want to leave the body so the demon must also abandon it too. If the host still wants to live than so will the demon."
My heart dropped when he said that.
"A reason to leave the body?"
"Yeah a reason to die just as the person came back as they wanted to live they also hold the decision to simply give up. Did Jennifer have a reason?"
All I could remember was tearing off the BFF necklace from her, the look of helplessness on her face. I had given her a reason to want to die and now I can't change it. Jen was right there was no way to bring her back.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time I'll go now."
"No wait-"he grabbed my hand and I couldn't help but break down. What's happening to me? "You can't leave not as long as you have the demon's abilities."
Oh great now what does life have to offer me except more fucking bad news.
"If we don't find a way to get rid of your abilities eventually your body will be open for any demon to take over."
Fuck my life, this time he held me in a tight embrace and I felt oddly safe except I wish it was Jennifer but for now he's a great substitute. I guess this is reason enough for me to stay with him.
