Chapter 25 – Not Gonna Die Tonight.

I brought the knife up thinking carefully about how to carry this off without getting killed, I was going to have to make it look like I was killing Jack.

"….Jack." I finished rushing forward. I shoved my knife past the taller man and straight into the neck of one of the men holding him. The man dropped dead and Laughing Jack flipped over the other man holding him before charging toward the female demon in front of him. I ran up to the men holding Alice slicing ones throat before stabbing the other in the chest. Alice scanned the room looking for something to fight with, but it seemed other than the knife I held there were no other weapons. The pink haired girl gasped loudly before grabbing me and diving out of the way. We both fell to the ground as I felt something fly past us and collide with the far wall, I peeked up to see that it was Laughing Jack who had been thrown across the room like some kind of rag doll. I hurried of the ground, dropping the knife I had been given and running for one of the corridors.

I burst through the door taking a quick glance back to see Alice grabbing the dagger and charging at the demon who seemed to only have eyes for me. I spun back round grabbing a large set of keys before sprinting up the hallway at full speed. I got to the end door and began trying to unlock the door before me, hearing a loud shout of pain coming from my pink haired friend. I heard loud footsteps approach me as I sped through all the keys trying to open one door. Just as the footsteps reached me the door clicked open and I ducked down after seeing a blur of red and black soot out at me.

"Fuck!" The demon hissed as Smile dog collided with her sending her into the cold white floor. I smiled and began to try and unlock the other doors going through the keys faster than before. I watched the battle out of the corner of my eye, making sure my roommate was safe and sound. Smile bit Vicky's leg first, making pink blood ooze out of the black limb. Victoria then grabbed Smile by his neck throwing him to the floor, like a stuffed animal, as she was about to stamp on the dog she was hit by a hard punch to the face. As the girl fell to the floor and I opened the door I was at I saw a very angry and upset looking Ben towering over the demon, his fist already pulled back for another hard punch. The door I unlocked swung open and Pinkamina walked out. She casually taking out a knife from who knows where and glaring at Victoria as Ben slammed his fist into the girl a second time drawing blood from her dark face.

"You should know better than to betray us bitch." Pinkamina told Vicky smirking at the demons pain as ben continued to beat her up. Suddenly Vicky sent out pink shock waves colliding with Ben, Pinkamina, Smile and me. All four of us flew backward into the floor, one of us making a loud cracking noise against the white stone. My head hit the ground hard making my vision blur, all the sound I heard go silent and my body stop responding to my shocked brain. I felt like I was paralyzed for a few minutes, it was like my whole body had forgotten how to move. As my hearing came back with a piecing high pitched beeping sound I pulled myself together forcing myself to sit up and get back to fighting the female demon I once called a friend. I saw the girl striding toward me, her face ridden with anger and pain like no other.

"I've had it with you and your stupid little freaky friends!" She growled picking me up by my hair again. This time I wasn't going to let her push me around, I flung my leg up at her forcing it into her chest making her suddenly drop me. I landed on my butt as the demon stumbled away looking shocked that I had fought back against her. I pushed myself up off the ground and ran at Victoria, rugby tackling the demon to the ground. I pulled my fist back forcing it into her jaw, making the bone snap out of place before a scream ripped out of her mouth, making me hesitate for a bit too long. The demon rolled us over slamming my bloody back to the ground, making me whimper in pain, small tears falling down my pale face.

"Get of her you bitch!" A familiar girl's voice called out before a scythe blade was shoved into the demons face, splitting it in half. I was dragged out from under the bloody girl by two strong hands as Alice pulled her bloody weapon from the deformed demon girl. I was pulled into a hug by Jeff who had pulled me away from Vicky and we just stared as her body fell onto the floor.

"Is that it?" Jeff asked sounding kind of disappointed. "We just killed her in a matter of minutes?"

"Jeff just because she's a demon doesn't mean she can just fight off all twenty of us at once." Alice replied looking at her now pink scythe in disgust.

"Awww I was hoping to have a long epic fight or something!" The boy moaned turning away from the body and beginning to walk away. We made it back to the torturing room before we realised that we were not alone, hiding half in shadows was Zalgo and his friends waiting for us. We noticed as soon as the doors to both hallways slammed shut leaving only Alice, Jeff, Laughing Jack, Ben, Smile, Pinkamina and me in the room with them.

"Well isn't this nice. ~" Zalgo laughed at us stepping forth from the shadows.

"Zalgo!" I exclaimed, staring at the red and black demon before us.

"Oh hello there kitten! It's nice to see how much more beautiful you have grown since last time we saw each other."

"Shut up and fuck off!" I shouted pulling my ears back and glaring at the disgusting man.

"Oh and picked up some bad language from your friend Jeffery have we?"

"What do you want Zalgo?" Pinkamina asked interrupting our argument.

"I want my pet back or your lives instead." The demon smirked at us, looking right into my dull blue eyes.

"You can't have her you bastard!" Jeff snarled.

"You can't have our lives either." Alice backed the teen up readying her scythe for battle again.

"In fact we're gonna take your lives this time." Laughing Jack finished also looking ready for another battle.

"Like you fools could actually defeat us." Victoria sneered appearing next to Zalgo.

"Your still not dead yet?!" Ben exclaimed.

"No, I don't die like a pathetic human. There's only one way to kill a demon you idiot."

"Well then I guess we'll keep fighting you until you finally get dragged down to hell."

With this line everyone on both sides drew their weapons and stood ready to fight it out to the death. I was handed my good old cleaver by Alice before I scanned the enemy line, deciding who I was going to battle. I thought it was lucky that we had enough people for everyone to focus on one enemy each. I was thinking about finally killing Jane but then again I felt like I should take Victoria, seeing how she was my problem and I really wanted to kill her if she had to go. The only problem would be I could tell Ben was going for her straight away and that he wouldn't listen to anyone telling him not to fight her. I looked across at Victoria who stood directly across from me, it was obvious that she was going to go for me and not Ben.

"I guess this is it." I heard Jack mumble under his breathe, looking slightly nervous.

"Good luck everyone and may the best pasta win! ~" Pinkamina chirped making the first move and running at a small boy with no legs or arms.
