Emma waited in a tavern in town sipping a mug.
Ichabod had gone to meet up with the other demon hunters.
She sat with her hood up to hide her face.
She and Ichabod had seen wanted posters with them on it put up by Brom Bones.
They had to be extremely careful.
She had waited a half an hour before she felt a tap on her shoulder.
She looked up and saw Ichabod.
"Come quietly," he said. "The others are waiting out of town in the woods."
Emma nodded and quietly got up following Ichabod.
She felt that other people around were staring at them.
She wondered if they all knew who they were under their hoods.
They however managed to get out of the town safely and quietly and into the woods.
They walked for a while until they could see a campfire ahead and people surrounding it.
Emma knew that they had to be the other demon hunters.
There were five of them, all wearing the same clothing as Ichabod.
They all saw the two walk up to them.
"Hey Ichabod," said one of them. "You're here."
"And I've brought the Savior," said Ichabod.
"Um…hi," said Emma.
The demon hunter that just spoke stood up.
"Allow me to introduce myself," he said.
He pulled off his hood, and revealed the face of a boy in his teenage years.
Emma was shocked.
"You're…boy?" she asked. "A boy!?"
"Surprised?" asked the boy. "You should be."
He walked up to Emma and kissed her hand.
"My name is Taran," he said. "I'm the leader of the Demon Hunters."
"Um…hi," said Emma.
"Everyone please introduce yourselves," said Taran.
Everyone stood up and took off their hoods.
Two of them were men, one being about a year younger then the other.
The younger one had long hair and the other one wore glasses.
The other two was a man and even a woman, both dark skinned.
"Hello," said the two men. "We're the brothers Grimm."
"My name is Jacob Grimm," said the older one.
"And I'm Wilhelm Grimm," said the younger one. "Call me Will."
"Hello," said Emma.
"And I'm Tiana," said the woman. "This is my husband."
She pointed at the man next to her.
"I'm Naveen," he said. "Nice to meet you."
"Hello…everyone," said Emma.
"Come Emma," said Taran. "Have a seat."
Emma nodded and sat down around the fire.
Ichabod joined everyone.
Everyone sat down and stared at each other quietly for a bit.
"So Ichabod," said Taran. "I believe you have dire reasons for calling all of us."
"I just made a deal with Dr. Facilier," said Ichabod.
Everyone gasped out.
"You mean you were messing with the Shadow Man?" asked Tiana.
"You remember what we told you happened to us by doing that?" complained Naveen.
"Don't remind us," said Jacob. "We almost cooked you for dinner until we found out you two were frogs."
"Frogs?" asked Emma.
"Tiana and Naveen were once turned into frogs by Dr. Facilier," said Taran. "We snuck into his house and got them a potion to turn them back."
"It was practically suicide," said Naveen.
He then smiled a hugged Tiana.
"But worth it," he said.
"Two peasants who were turn into frogs and now are man and wife and demon hunters," said Will. "How poetic."
"All right I know!" yelled Ichabod. "But this was a dire situation."
"How dire?" asked Taran.
"I asked Shadow Man if he could help me expose Brom Bones and get me Katrina back," said Ichabod. "And he told me he would help me if I…I…"
He stammered as he tried to get the words out.
"Spit it out man!" yelled Jacob.
"If I killed the Balrog and got one of its horns," sighed Ichabod.
Everyone gasped loudly, and once again coincidently lightning flashed.
"The Balrog!?" yelled Taran. "Are you daft man!?"
"No one has ever survived fighting the Balrog!" yelled Tiana. "That was why the great wizards banished it to Sleepy Hollow."
"Yeah that's right!" growled Will. "Wizards don't give a shit about the people still living here and they send the Balrog to Sleepy Hollow!"
"Not now Will!" yelled Naveen. "The point is that this is suicide."
"Not entirely," said Ichabod. "We have her."
Everyone stared at Emma, who just raised her hands in panic.
"Just because she is the Savior and the warrior of light magic," said Taran. "Doesn't mean she can kill the Balrog."
"She can if we're fighting with her," said Ichabod. "I need you guys. We need you guys. Killing the Balrog and fulfilling my deal is the only way I can get Emma back home and away from the Horned King."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Come on guys," said Ichabod. "Wouldn't it be nice to have one of the evilest demons in this land dead? And don't you all want to see me with Katrina and Brom Bones in the dirt?"
Everyone stared in silence.
"Plus, won't it be great if Emma is away from the Horned King so whatever he has planned for her won't happen?" asked Ichabod. "Because I can tell whatever he has planned, it is not good."
Everyone sighed again, and then Taran stood up.
"I brought you in," said Taran. "And when I did you were weeping over Katrina."
Then he smiled.
"And I will help you get her back," he said drawing a sword with a golden hilt.
Ichabod smiled.
"Count us in!" yelled Jacob and Will standing up. "The Balrog killed our mother, and we will finally avenge her."
Emma smiled too.
"If it's true love your after," said Tiana. "Then we'll help you get it."
"Right," said Naveen. "Count us in too."
Ichabod smiled and stared at everyone.
"We'll then," he said grabbing his gun. "Let's go kill the Balrog."
All the demon hunters cheered out and then Emma joined in.
They were going to kill the beast.
We have met the other demon hunters! Taran from the Black Cauldron, Tiana and Naveen, and I even added the Brothers Grimm for some reason. I don't know why, but it came to mind and I chose to use them, along with other actual characters from other stories. So stay tuned for more.
See you next update! Review please dearies!
