Attacked
"Home Sweet Home," Julia said happily. She hadn't realized just how much she missed her cozy little apartment. It was pretty small- it had two small bedrooms, one small bathroom, and the living room and kitchen were separated only by a countertop. The cream colored walls were very warm and gave Julia a sense of security. But despite the fact that she had lived by herself since she started college a few years ago, she suddenly felt very lonely.
Reaching up to grab the chain around her neck Julia sighed, "Jin…I miss you so much already. I don't think I can do this."
She went to her couch and sat down while throwing her car keys on the coffee table. Atticus had made sure her Altima was still there when she got back and she'd just gone to pick up her second set of keys even though she had been home for over a week. Julia propped her feet up on the table and turned the TV on.
"Let's see what's on tonight…something good I hope. I need to distract myself," Julia muttered while flipping through the channels, "No. No. No. No. Ugh! There's nothing on." Julia turned off the television, tossed the remote onto the table and simply sat there staring at the dark screen. Suddenly her stomach grumbled.
I'm starving. Julia thought and stood up. Let's see what's in the fridge…she made her way to the kitchen.
Hm…I'm gonna have to ask Atticus how much he paid to restock my fridge with groceries so I can pay him back ASAP. Julia thought randomly. She decided to have some good ol' oj despite the fact that it was nighttime. Grabbing the bottle of orange juice, she shut the door and turned to grab a cup out of the cupboard. After pouring herself a glass, she grabbed a random cookbook and went into the living room to find something to make herself for dinner.
As she looked up from the book, she saw a dark figure standing a few feet in front of her. Julia dropped her glass and the juice spilled all over the carpet followed shortly by the book.
"Oh my God," Julia choked out as she saw a corpulent demon glaring at her. She felt as if she had been glued to the floor. If she had once thought Jin had been frightening, she didn't know what a true demon really looked like. When he had told her that he actually wasn't very terrifying compared to other demons due to the fact that he was only half demon, she had believed him. However, she hadn't thought there would be this much difference.
This thing looked like one of the monsters out of the movie Doom. Its sickly green skin was scaly and had numerous spikes sticking out of its arms. Its wings were enormous and bat-like. In a brief moment of haphazard thought, Julia wondered why Jin's wings were feathered. Its grossly disproportioned head was hideous and it had horns that curled like those of a ram. A snarl escaped its lips and it's blood-red eyes narrowed.
"You are coming with me, human," the demon spat in a crackling voice and drew nearer to her.
Julia found feeling in her legs again and took several steps back, "Stay away! I'm not going anywhere!" she knew screaming would do her no good.
"Whether you want to come or not is none of my concern. I will not be defied. You have no choice," the demon lunged at her.
Julia rolled to one side and nearly ran into the counter. She jumped back up and launched a roundhouse kick at his head. However, he was faster than he seemed and he caught her boot before it made contact with his skull. Throwing her aside, he aimed a backhand punch at her face. The hit sent her crashing into the glass coffee table. Julia felt a searing pain in her left palm and saw a large piece of glass impaled in it. Before she could so much as reach to pull it out the demon grabbed her around the neck.
"You're a feisty human, aren't you? …A pretty one too, eh," he smirked as he got a good look at her face, "I can see how the Resurrector fell for you."
"Just…kill…me now…if…that's what…you want…you fucking bastard!" Julia managed to say while his hand grew tighter around her windpipe. She kicked him, but she might as well have been kicking a wall. It hurt her more than him.
He snorted, "Did you not hear what I said human? I'm going to take you. Alive. You're worth more than gold that way. You're worth less than shit if you're dead."
Slowly the lack of air took its toll on Julia. Her lungs were screaming at her, but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't force air down her throat. The demon's vice-like grip was too strong. Julia had never felt so helpless in her life. As she felt herself slip into the darkness of the unconscious world, Julia heard another demon.
"What the hell do you think you're doing fiend!? You're not supposed to hurt her, let alone kill her!"
"I'm not going to!" the first demon disputed.
"Let her go. Do you want your throat ripped out?!" shrieked the second demon.
The first demon growled but let Julia go. She hit the floor hard and desperately gasped for air.
"I knew that Veldor shouldn't have sent you. You're too brutal to bring in any human alive."
"Don't insult me!"
"I will insult you if I feel like it. You are a slum-fiend, so do not dispute my authority!"
"Well then, my lord," the demon mocked, "You take care of the female." The demon sprang through the open door of the balcony.
Julia was still coughing when she felt the second demon pick her up. She tried to wriggle free but his grip was too tight.
"Don't make me use excessive force, human. Just give up. There's nothing you can do." The demon jumped off of the balcony and sped into the murky sky. Julia was helpless at that point, and with the recent lack of air, she fell unconscious.
Julia woke up sometime later in a cold dark cell.
Where…where am I?
