Chapter 4
Double Crossed
You would think that I knew Satan was going to double cross me, and I somehow fought my way through a dozen men, but in reality, I had no idea he was going to double cross me. "Make your choice Eric, free this world, or die." Of course i didn't do it but the thought was there. Having unlimited power with the Pale rider himself? It was pretty hard to say no. "No, I wont free my people from one slaver and have them be given to another, my answer is final, NO!" Lucifer laughed and walked right up to me and said, "You don't have a choice in the matter, see I could kill you, but Death would bring you right back. So what I am going to do is this." He swung his staff and almost took off my head, but for some odd reason I instantly ducked right under it, rolled to his side and stabed him with my obsideon blade. Lucifer looked down at me, took the blade out and snaped it in two. "Please Eric, I am an Archangel, obsideon does absolutely nothing to me." He kicked me in the chest and sent me flying into a brick wall. I should've died from a hit like that, but instead I got right back up and charged him. He looked as baffled as me, but soon shook it off and met my attack and swung his staff, hitting my ribs, i heard a loud crack of my bone breaking. I stumbled backwards in pain. Lucifer kicked me again and sent me flying out side. Luckily though, John was there with a staff of his own. He pointed the staff at Lucifer and shot a ball of fire at him. it hit Lucifer right in the face and sent him flying back into the building, followed by a mighty roar of pain. I myself was in pain, my ribs felt like fire was engulfing them, my back was starting to hurt as well. "John?" I said weakly. He looked at me as we drove on the interstate, wait interstate? When did we get in a car so fast. "I am here my boy" I tried to sit up but had no success due to the fact that my ribs were broken and my back was in a lot of pain. "You must rest boy, until i get you to a healer you must rest." He said nothing after that. I tried to stay up as long as I could, but my body was begging for some sleep, I passed out soon after.
When I came to, I was in what looked like a bedroom. When I atempted to stand up I did so with no ail. How did I heal from that? I asked myself. I walked to the door on the other side of the room and opened it. When i looked out side the door i was supprised by what I saw. It was like I was in a mansion. Gold chandileers hung from the ceiling, A long stairway with gold and silver railings led the way down to what looked like the ground floor, but from how big this place already is, I wouldnt be suprised if there were secret areas in this mansion. I walked down the stairs to find John and a old woman sitting in chairs drinking waht looked like tea. John looked my way and smiled, "Eric, how are you feeling on this fine afternoon?" "I feel great John, thanks." He nodded towards the old lady and said. "This is the woman who saved your life Eric, her name is Alana, she is the best healer in the United States" Alana laughed and said, "Oh John, always the charmer, even after hundreds of years you can still sway a lady." I choked, "Hundreds of years?" John smiled at me and said, "Yes if you haven't found out already i'm the John from the book of revelations, I wrote it in fact."
