Chapter seven title: Waking the Demon
Penelope's hips swayed as she grinds up against Henry and her target, Chase Collins. She picked him out from the crowd of people at Nicky's as if he was far more interesting than the Sons of Ipswich. Which he wasn't, Penelope thought as she focused on her assignment. Grasping Chase's hands, Penelope leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Wanna go out back?" Seducing men isn't Penelope's strong point, but she tries.
Nodding his head, Chase wrapped his arm around Penelope's waist, guiding her to the back of Nicky's, a smirk forming upon his lips. He was drunk, she thought to herself, as she narrowed her eyes on him.
Too easy, Boss.
As they made their way outside, Penelope's eyes flashed silver as she slammed Chase up against the wall, hands clenching the boy's throat, "Hello, Chase Collins." Penelope's voice sounded rougher than it did when she spoke to her new friends. A crazed grin appeared upon her lips as Chase stared at the girl in front of him, gasping for breath, "L-let go, bitch." He exclaimed, as he eyed her through narrow eyes.
"Now, why would I do that, Warlock?" She growled, as she squeezed his neck more, "Thinking of making Caleb force his powers into you for your obsession, huh?"
"Who the fuck are you?" Chase questioned as he winced when she tightened her grip on his neck.
"Penelope Juniper Martin." She replied, purring like a cat. "So, answer me this, Chase. What makes you tick more than having not enough power?"
"Let me go, wench." His eyes turned black as he flung her away from himself, but as she flew backwards, she flipped through the air and kicked off the ground to grab his throat again.
"Nice try." She smiled, showing off sharp fangs toward him.
Eyes widening, he tried to escape from her grasp, gasping as she tightened her fist, cutting off his air supply.
"Penelope!" A familiar voice exclaimed as she was flung backwards away from Chase. But as she looked up at Chase, his eyes were his usual eye color, which meant...
"The fuck are you doing, Penelope?!" Reid Garwin questioned as Caleb Danvers moved over to the now coughing Chase Collins. Pogue, Tyler, Kate, and Sarah came running out of the backdoor.
Followed by Henry, as he jumped in front of Penelope, shielding the Warlocks from Penelope. "Back off, Sons of Ipswich." Pointing a AK-47 at the four boys, he cocked it and grinned as he morphed back into his original form.
"What the fuck are you?!" Chase Collins he questioned as he regained his breathing, glancing up at Penelope with a scared expression upon his lips.
"Stop fucking lying, Warlock bitch." Penelope cackled, as she rocked back on her heels, patting Henry's back, she stepped around him as she stalked over to Chase. Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler moved to stand in front of Chase as Penelope glanced up at Caleb, her eyes sparking with amusement. "Sticking up for the little fuck, aren't we?"
"Drehen Sie zurück, Penelope." Henry commanded as her eyes turned back to their grey color, turning on her heels, she stood beside Henry as he exclaimed, "Tun Sie nichts, dumm, hörst du?" He spoke to her in his native tongue, which she oddly understood as she nodded at her boss.
"Calm yourselves," Penelope suddenly spoke to the Sons of Ipswich. "We do not want any trouble." She continued, "This man here, Chase Collins, is a Warlock like yourselves. In the near future, he will try to use Sarah Wenhem as a lure to make you, Caleb Danvers force your powers into Chase Collins, himself.
"If I let this Warlock go now, he will try over and over again to get you to bend at his will. Please, step aside so I can finish his worthless life. If you do not comply, I will use force upon all six of you. Sarah, Kate, I must apologize to you as this wasn't supposed to turn out this way. Caleb Danvers, Pogue Parry, Reid Garwin, Tyler Simms, move aside." She glanced past the Sons of Ipswich as Chase glared at her heatedly, growling under his breath.
Seeming to hear him, however, Caleb turned around and stared at Chase. Locking eyes with Caleb, Chase sprung to his feet and grabbed Sarah by the throat, bringing him closer to himself as he glared at Penelope, pressing his hand against Sarah's heart. "Stay back, Caleb, or else your girlfriend's heart stops right now." He exclaimed, as he glared over Caleb's shoulder at Penelope and Henry.
Moving forward faster than anyone could see, Penelope's leg outstretched and kicked Chase back into the wall, grasping Sarah's shoulders, and turning her into Caleb's arms. "Leave the area, Sons of Ipswich." She narrowed her eyes on Chase as she motioned toward the exit between the dumpsters. "Leave now, and take care of Sarah."
Henry chuckled as he pulled out his pistol, stepping forward to stand beside Penelope, pointing the pistol straight at Chase's forehead. "Say your prayers, wee lad."
"Die, Chase Collins." Eyes flashing silver, Penelope's finger nails grew into claws, her teeth extending into sharp fangs. She glanced briefly at Henry, who nodded at her and she sprang at Chase with her claws extended toward his throat. Reacting quickly, Chase's eyes turned black and he hopped out of Penelope's range, landing a few feet away from her and Henry. "You can't hurt me, Demon."
"Oh?" Grinning, Penelope's black and red hair grew down to her behind, curling up at the end. Pushing her claws against her shoulder, she tore open her shoulder, blooding spilling out of her shoulder which took a shape of a blade. The blade's design held a skull that had been surrounded by twenty tear drops, the glow of the blade an unnatural blueish tint. "I can't hurt you?" She questioned, head tilted toward the side in curiosity. "I can, however, kill you."
"Penelope!" Reid's voice exclaimed as he sprung in front of her with his hands spread out toward his sides, as Chase's attack aimed for Penelope's heart. Falling to his knees, Reid gasped as he glanced over his shoulder at the demonic Penelope. Spitting out a dark crimson, Reid grinned back at Penelope as the other Sons of Ipswich came to Reid's aid, Tyler grasping Reid's shoulders, and Pogue shaking Reid, trying to snap him out of him losing consciousness. "Hey, bitch." Reid spoke, staring up at the demonic Penelope. "Watch your back, huh?" Eyes closing, Reid lost consciousness.
"Reid, wake up, man!" Pogue exclaimed as he shook the younger Son, clenching his teeth.
"God damn it, Reid!" Caleb mumbled, as he turned his eyes upon Chase who stood there smirking at Penelope.
"Oops?" Chase commented, as Henry stepped forward, his twin pistol being drawn as he stood in front of Penelope and the others. "Hold it, Collins."
"Ah, Henry Scott. I haven't seen you in such a long time, pal." Chase commented, tilting his head toward the side, "Why're you here with a demon, and the Sons of Ipswich? Having a good old time playing the good guy, huh?"
"Penelope and I are under the direct order by Tyler Simms's father to destroy you." Henry's eyes flashed red, as he continued, "Now then, shall we dance?"
Rushing forward, Penelope and Henry swung their legs toward Chase's legs, swiping him from his standing position and as he fell upon his back, Penelope's hand grasped her blade and stabbed him in the gut, pulling the blade out to stab him in the eyes, throat, and then finally his heart. Pulling out two nails, she slammed the nails deep within the warlock's hands, both arms spread out in the shape of the cross.
Pushing herself up off Chase's lap where she made sure he could not escape, she snapped her fingers as a fire engulfed Chase Collins body into flames. Clapping her hands together, she spoke with confidence, "Under the name of my Lords, may you, Chase Collins, be sent to Hell," She began to chant over and over again, "As Satan's welcoming you with open arms, the demon's of the underworld, Gods commands thy death and eternally torture you. Gods be Damned, thee must suffer. Practice makes perfect, right, my Lord?"
As the ashes of Chase Collins began to disappear, Penelope's eyes returned to their normal grey, her features returning to their normal style. "Now then," She commented, as she turned toward Reid, Tyler, Caleb, Pogue, and Henry. "Let me heal Reid." She strode over to Reid, as she eyed the slightly pale features on Reid's complexion.
Stepping in front of Reid, Caleb replied with a, "Do not kill him." Before stepping aside, Caleb glared right at her, eyes narrowing in a distrustful way.
Sarah and Kate stood wide eyed at the normal looking Penelope, after watching her performance upon Chase Collins, Sarah sank to her knees, Kate following afterwards. "What..just..happened." Sarah spoke, heart pounding a mile an hour.
