"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" Sheldone hit the E brake and the others braced for impact, He hit something that sent the car flying back 10 feet. He hit his head on the steering wheel and was knocked unconciounse. The horn kept going off and the airbags were deployed. Anthony banged his face on the dash and his forehead was bleeding excessively, Jordan stepped over the console and grabbed Sheldone's shirt dragging him to the back and taking over the driver seat. Casey was scared to death and Anthony grabbed the handgun in the glove compartment, He loaded a mag and leaned out the window trying to get a better look at what was ahead, What he saw... he couldn't believe his eyes. It was a 10 foot tall all black blur with spiked shoulders, a bird like head, wings and 15 inch claws on its feet and fingers. He ducked back in the car and explained what he saw while Jordan reversed.
"Dude I'm telling you this thing was fucking satanic!"
"Of course it was..."
"Dude it's right there!"
"I don't see anything..."
"What the hell..." Anthony began to doubt his sanity, First voices talking to him back in Columbia and now this.
Casey leaned inbetween them and started yelling "What the hell did we hit!"
Jordan shrugged and peeled out heading for the hotel as Anthony closed his eyes trying to collect his thoughts.
Back in the room, Booker and Manny were hiding behind a flipped over table with loaded rifles. Elizabeth locked herself inside the bathroom because something invisible was attacking them. A vase flew off a shelf and there were claw marks all over the walls.
"Where the hell is this thing?" Booker checked the sights on his gun repeatedly. Manny shook his head and peered over, The flatscreen was ripped off the wall and flung at him. He ducked and started firing in all directions.
"How do we kill this thing?" Booker kept screaming and Manny just kept shaking his head no.
"I wish you could talk..." Booker sighed and crouched down loading his repeater.
The door kicked open and the teens rushed in.
"We got wounded!" Jordan ran in carrying Sheldone tossing him on the couch.
"We got our own problems!" Booker stood up from behind cover.
"What's happening?" Jordan asked and Anthony walked in and started flipping out. "THAT'S THE THING ! THATS THE MONSTER THAT WE HIT WITH THE CAR! ITS IN HERE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!" He ran behind cover.
"You can see it!" Booker sighed of relief.
Jordan couldn't believe what he was hearing.
Anthony ripped the machine gun out of Manny's hands and started shooting the air.
Suddenly it was quiet again.
"Killed it!" Anthony tossed the gun on the floor and exhaled.
Elizabeth came out of the bathroom and hid behind Booker.
"Wait so there was really a demon bird creature that the car crashed into?" Jordan couldn't believe his eyes since he couldn't see it.
"Fuck yea looked like a diablo demon monster!" Anthony confirmed it for him.
Booker walked over and mumbled "Luteces..." Under his breath.
Elizabeth rubbed her eyes. "I can't see anything?" She looked all around where the body was supposed to be trying to find it.
Casey tried putting the pieces of the puzzle together. "Wait so only Anthony can see it?"
"I guess so." Booker concluded but that wasn't good enough for him. "There's something more going on, The luteces couldn't of known Anthony could see that thing there's no way."
Elizabeth had a lightbulb "Hold on... Think back a long time ago... Anthony didn't you say your eyes were burned with sulfur and that's why you have to wear the contacts?" She was starting to figure it out.
He nodded.
"I read before that one of the clues of a demonic presence is the smell of sulfur... Maybe that's why you could see it... Whatever this means it can't be good." She frowned.
A clapping noise came out of no where... It was slow.
"Congratulations..." Said a voice.
They turned there heads slowly and saw a faceless creature, with a sickle and sword.
Sheldone finally came back to conciousness and saw this thing standing in the corner. "Oh fuck no! The hell is that thing, Looks like gary the snail!" He past back out.
Manny started firing at it but the bullets did no damage.
"You missed..." It grinned at them.
Elizabeth stepped out from behind Booker and confronted it.
"I don't know you... What you are... or Who sent you but... Please." It wasn't phased and she raised her voice. "LEAVE ME AND MY FRIENDS ALONE!"
It stood there in silence for a second then it raised its hand, and with one swift strike it lit a small fire in his hand, It drew a circle with its finger and the circle grew rapidly engulfing the room but burnt no one.
"What the hells happening?" Casey backed up to Booker, Everyone was back to back except Sheldone who was out cold.
The fire exploded and was gone, before they could react they fell to the floor asleep.
