[AN: Third story! I don't own Jennifer's Body, though I really wish I did. But anyways...read, review, and above all...enjoy =]
Sorry for any spelling errors. I'm trying =p
I woke up again later staring at blackness. "Am I dead?" I mumbled.
"Not quite." A voice behind me whispered. I shot up and looked over, a hand clapped over my mouth. "Don't scream!" I looked at who was talking to me. I didn't know what it was, other than a demon.
It had a bloody mouth and long jagged marks across its cheeks, making it look like a gruesome smile. Its eyes were tinted yellow, I looked down, there was a long cut cross its throat and blood was oozing out slowly covering its plain white shirt. I looked up and saw a mop of dark hair. If not for the eyes and cuts on its throat and face it may have looked human.
"Promise not to scream?" I nodded, not knowing what else to do. It lowered it's hand slowly. "Okay, good."
"...You're not gunna kill me?"
It raised a brow. "Why would I do that?"
"You're a demon aren't you?"
It rolled its eyes. "Great, another person who doesn't get it."
"What do you mean?"
"Never mind. We have to get you back up to Earth." It stood. Wow, it had on normal jeans and sneakers. I thought demons went around naked. "Yes we wear clothes."
I shook my head. I was so confused. "Wait, where am I?"
"Hell, where else?"
"...So the hole the water going into is actually a portal to hell?"
"As it happens, yes...yes it is."
I sighed. This was all to much to take in. "Who are you?"
"Everyone just calls me Jack." So it was a guy.
"Is that supposed to be short for the Jackal or something?" I remembered that movie 13 ghosts.
Jack looked at me over his shoulder in confusion. "No, because the marks on my face make me look like a Jack-O-Lantern. What the hell does it have to do with an animal?"
I shook my head. "Never mind. It was just this movie."
"Eh, whatever...we should start moving."
"Back to Earth. You can't stay here in hell."
I stood and swayed for a moment. "How did I get here anyway?"
"Those guys were trying to sacrifice a virgin, which summond a demon. Be glad it was me. Anyways, the prtal was closing and I couldn't let an innocent die so I had to bring you with me. If I didn't I would have been trapped there. I really didn't plan for my landing to be so off." Jack scratched at the back of his head. "I healed you up and now I have to get you back."
"You want me to go back?" I raised a brow. What the hell was going on in hell.
"There are two sides to everything. Hell was originally made to punish the ones who deserved it. Satan as our leader. However some demons will punish an innocent from time to time even though it's against the law."
"Demons have laws?"
Jack glared at me. "You humans think we're totally unethical and uncivilized don't you?"
"Well...yeah."
He rolled his eyes again. "Alright sit down. I'm going to explain this as quickly as I can, but only the important parts."
I sat. Come to think of it where was I? I mean where was I in hell.
"Okay, yes there are laws. One of the many is that we cannot harm innocents. But sometimes they happen upon us and get dragged to hell with a convicted. You're here because your soul was sacrificed for a dumb little ritual. But you're an innocent so the ritual is void, meaning you can go back unharmed. My job as of now is to get you back to Earth safely. I follow the law. But trust me when I say there are demons here that will try and kill you, simply because they have the ability." He looked at me questioningly. "Good enough for now?"
I nodded. That actually made sense. "But...how does an innocent happen upon you?"
"What, you didn't think we waited until they died alllll the time did you?"
I nodded.
Jack shook his head. "No. If the crimes are big enough some demons are sent up to gather the convicted. An innocent can sometimes be in the wrong place at the wrong time and the demon will simply take them along. Not all of us are like that. If you have any other questions, I can explain on the way." He motioned for me to follow.
I stood and followed him. I guess we were in a cave. He led us onto a cliff that overlooked what seemed to be a huge city, with a large fiery palace far in back. "There's more to it than this, trust me." Jack mumbled. "We're really just as advanced as you humans are."
I just nodded again. Unsure of what to really say now other than, "Wow."
Jack chuckled. "You think this is amazing, you should see heaven." He turned and walked down a small cliffy path. I followed him.
"You've seen heaven?"
"Yes I have. And I'd rather not explain because it is a very very very long story."
I just huffed as I began my journey back home through hell.
At least I was hopefully in safe hands.
