Chapter 4: Life
"Alright! Now for the finishing blow!" Louise shouted as she swiped her sword through the demon. She landed with a huff and wiped her forehead. "Good work guy's!" She smiled back at the others. They all smiled and held their thumbs up. "Now it's time for..." Aiden began encouraging them. "ICE CREAM!" They all shouted. They all laughed at their childishness and walked off. A hooded figure hiding behind a tree looked at them sadly. "Oi!" A rough voice said beside them. The figure turned to its companion. "Let's go." They said forcefully. The figure looked at them one last time then walked off into the unknown.
Daniel pulled up his smartphone and began scrolling through the news. "Have they said anything?" Louise asked taking a bit out of her ice cream. Daniel shook his head. "Who the hunters?" Aaron asked. Louise nodded. "They're like you guys but they have no powers. They hunt lots of supernatural beings but they can track demons. We asked for help from them a while back." Louise finshed smiling at the taste of her frozen treat. "Hold on." Daniel said suddenly sitting up straight. "It says that their have been multiple omens spotted by the gates in Alva." Demetry looked between them. "Isn't that normal?" He asked. Daniel shook his head'no'. "They're the same omens that occured when Oriel was killed." The others looked at eachother and knew what they had to do.
In Avla...
A white circle of salt was drawn around a grave. A pentagram drawn also in salt, candles at each point of the star. Three hooded figures stood at the base of the grave. "Qui sepultus est in oculis ejus. Exaudi nos loqui in nomine patris, et ex inferno. Cupimus audire vocem tuam volumus ut forma. Et nunc veni, ut praedicitur, thorth Joshua per se. Salvum venisse salvator noster voluerit de terra ignota. Occisus est ab angelis, a daemonibus liberatus. Factus familiaris filius diaboli, Et iterum venturus est ad vivere!" The one at the base called. The other two threw dirt from the plains of hell and salt on top of the grave. The ground began to shake and the wind picked up.
Louise, Aiden, Demetry, Daniel and Aaron all arrived at the scene too late. "We're too late!" Louise called. "What are they even doing?!" Aiden shouted over the roar of the wind. The three peoples hoods fell down to reveal their forms. "Jinx? Caitlyn? Vi?!" Aaron asked. They all looked up at him as the doors behind them creaked open. Josh himself stepped out and placed his arm around Jinx's shoulder. "Is it done?" He asked. Jinx nodded closing the book she was holding. "It is done." The others stepped closer and took a look at the name on the grave. "No..." Louise trailed off shocked. "It can't be." Josh looked at her. "But it is."
The mud from the top of the grave fell away as big splinters of wood exploded from the ground. Two arms reached up and pulled themselves out of the whole and onto their feet. Josh smiled as the others looked on in shock and disbelief. The woman now standing in the grave was none other than... "Welcome home sister." Josh grinned. "I'm home." Said none other than Caitlyn, the princess of hell.
