Hey girls I am BAAACK! Haha I love this! I leave you guys in suspense and you already know that the next story is in the works (actually got it finished and started the spin off stories now.) So here we are in sloth-land.
I yawned and turned to my sisters. I was exhausted all of a sudden. I thanked the good lord that I was a mikokai and more immune to the spells these demons cast. But as we were in their homeland I wasn't completely immune.
"Okay girls we can't lay down," I said yawning. "We won't get up as long as we are here if we do." I turned to find…them both laying down, Melinda already snoring.
"Oh come on Lindsey. A little rest won't kill us," Jessica said, waving me off.
"Here it will," I said, leaning over and throwing the two over my shoulders, thankful for my newfound pure demon strength. I sighed and started through the streets. It would be fairly simple getting through here for us as long as the demonsend didn't get through the Gate any time soon.
The King never moved and even more rarely sent demonsend out. Even if there were intruders, such as his brother's demonsend, flying through his city.
"What are you doing? We are just taking a little break," Jessica bemoaned.
"You can rest when we get the Hell outta Hell," I barked, "Remember the boys."
I felt her shift on my shoulder and knew she was looking at the rock on her finger. "Dean," I heard her murmur softly.
"Exactly, keep that thought in your mind," I said firmly, shifting the unconscious Melinda on my other shoulder as she continued to snore.
"Can you do this, Lindsey?" she asked, being the demon on my shoulder unconsciously.
"As long as Mindy doesn't start singing in her sleep, we are gold," I growled, fighting my weariness.
"What would happen then?" she asked.
"You know what would happen," I snarled. "I would collapse and we would never move again. Sam and Dean would spend eternity in the pit. Well Dean would. Sam would be possessed by Lucifer and the end of the world would be sped up considerably."
She shrugged and went back to looking at her ring. I shook my head and smiled. I was happy for them but felt like I was alone. They both had protectorates, both had someone to love. I was alone. I took a deep breath and made my way through the streets with demons of sloth sprawled all over the place.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Jessica asked again moments later.
"Why do you think I can't?" I demanded.
"I am just wondering how fast you can run in the land of Sloth with a hoard of demonsend after you," she said. I turned and sure enough a cloud of demonsend from Wrath and Greed filled the air.
"Oh shit!" I yelped, turning and trying to run. As you can imagine though running away from demonsend in a kingdom called Sloth is a pain in the ass. On the up side Sloth seemed to affect the demonsend as well and some fell back as they were quickly becoming exhausted.
I was somewhat relieved at seeing this but it was for naught as even though 200 fell back there was still a good sized cloud chasing us. I poured on the speed but my feet felt like lead and chains. I glanced up and then back.
"Why is it whenever we get halfway through the city they decide to attack?" Jessica asked.
"Feeling philosophical all of a sudden?" I retorted as I willed my legs to move. It was something like wading through a bog with cement shoes. But I was currently a mixture of emotions all stronger than lazy, like afraid, determined, angry…oh yeah did I mention afraid.
My demon heart raced, though it felt my demon legs weren't going very fast at all. I glanced behind us and the swarms rose up above us like a wave in a typhoon over a raft in the ocean. I gaped and willed my magic into being to speed us along.
I give you the gift of speed True Speed's voice echoed in my mind. I used it. Slowly the weight of Sloth fell from me and then even the weight of my own form as I raced like lightning through the streets of the city of Sloth.
"What's going on?" Jessica asked.
"I am getting us out of here what do you think?" I roared, my wings catching bursts of air every now and again, letting me sail smoother through the air and actually lifting me every now and again. Jessica's snake-tail wrapped around my waist to keep her grip as I sped through the streets.
"THERE!" Jessica shouted suddenly. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a rusty hidden gate. I extended my magic and saw that it was the Gate. It slowly started creaking open. After all this was sloth.
The glory of Pride shown through the rusty doors. I groaned knowing this was going to be one of the most fun yet. Jessica and I were both full of pride and Melinda…well she would probably be alright here.
I dove through the half cracked doors and dropped both of them on their butts. Jessica growled indignantly glaring up at me and Melinda jerked awake. I twisted my head behind me as the demonsend started to swarm.
"Move it!" I shouted before the Pride swallowed me whole. And in this realm it very well just might.
