Nick's POV

I walk through the alleyway, my heart pounding.

This is it. I'm going to die. I have no weapons. I won't survive this…

"Nickolas"

I freeze and then slowly turn to meet my death. Just as I expected, she is there, wearing a long white gown, her blond hair flowing freely.

I feel sick, but I hold my head up high. I won't let her know that she scares me, that she intimidates me. I have to be brave, for mom, for dad, for everyone.

"Nickolas" she croons.

"P-please" I stutter

You idiot! Don't beg! She'll know you're afraid…

"Come here" She croons again. I feel like I'm in some kind of trance and despite what my mind is shouting at me, I slowly obey and walk towards her.

I'm so close to her now that I can smell it, blood.

And I want it. I want it more than anything.

She pulls out something from behind her back. It's a blood bag.

"Drink it" She commands. "You need your strength.

I want it… Oh god, I want it.

She sees the look on my face. It's a look of hunger and resistance.

"Give into it" She whispers in my ear. "You know you want it"

With trembling fingers I take the blood bag out of her hand. I look at it until I can't stand it anymore, and begin to drink it.

I can hear her laughing. "There's no going back now, boy"

I wake up and gasp.

Sunlight is streaming from the window. Morning couldn't have come quicker.

I look up and see Brian washing up in the bathroom while Chris is watching something on TV. I guess that means I should get up too.

"Hey" I mumble sleepily to Chris.

"Shh! I'm watching the Jersey Shore!"

"Oh, that shows awesome" I say, nodding my head in approval.

I get my clothes on and wait until Brian comes out to wash up. After that, we all grab our things and head out. When we get into Brian's car, I ask him how long until we reach his friend's house.

"We'll be there in an hour. Do you guys want to stop for breakfast or just head straight there?"

Laura, breakfast, Laura, breakfast, Laura, breakfast

"Breakfast" I say finally.

"Me too" Chris says.

Brian shrugs and I can see a hint of a smile on his face. I guess he was hoping we'd choose breakfast.

"What the hell?" I ask when we get there, except it's not IHOP. It's a small diner that's mostly filled with old people and tourist.

"This is what restaurants are like down here, kid. Get over it"

I glare at Brian before heading inside.

We take a seat in the back and I'm practically drooling because the smell of food is so good. I almost jumped for joy when the waitress came.

"What can I get you boys?" she asks, pleasantly.

"I'll have soda, eggs, bacon and sausages" I say before anyone else could.

"Um, I'll have pancakes" Brian sighs. I probably shouldn't have ordered what I did. We're limited on money.

"Same" Chris said.

"Okay, so pancakes for you two, and eggs, bacon and sausages and a side of death for you"

We all look at her and her eyes suddenly turn black and she drops her notepad on the floor. Everyone else in the diner turns to look at us, their eyes also black.

"Ah, damn" Chris mutters.

Brian's look turns icy and angry and all I can do is watch in amazement and fear. I never got to see demons before. They looked…cool.

I didn't realize how dangerous they were. Dad tried to tell me over and over again but I wasn't paying attention.

Brian grabbed his gun out of his pocket. "I suggest you back away and let us leave" He snapped.

The demon laughed. "Let you leave? Okay, you and the gay kid can go. This one stays with me" She says, pointing a finger at me.

"Bitch, you're out of your mind if you think I'm gonna leave my little brother to you" Brian growls.

"Mmm-hmm" Chris agrees, rolling his head. I chuckled a tiny bit.

"Oh, really?" the demon murmurs.

Suddenly Brian is on the ground and the demon is on top of him, growling and trying to kill him. I look up quickly and see all the other demons coming towards us.

"Run!" Brian cries, but Chris and I can't.

We back up against the wall and wait for the demons to kill us until a shot rings out and we all look at our eyes widen at who's standing there…

Okay, I'm so pissed right now because I tried to post this earlier, but stupid fanfiction wouldn't let me, so I had to wait, like, 6 hours before finally posting.
