The Walls
Written by J.Wills
Chapter 1
For a moment, he couldn't recall where he was. An inner voice, thick with spite, snickered quietly in his head. 'Embrace this moment,' it whispered. 'Hang on to the amnesia, because this tiny moment of zero recall is the best thing that's going happen to you for some considerable time.'
Cole didn't care much for this inner voice, and was doing his best to ignore it. But nothing could stop the inner voice when it had bad news to impart, news as bad this bad news. 'Whatever you do,' it continued, 'don't access reality - you're not going to like it one bit.'
He struggled in to a sitting position and peered through the small flap in the wall, all could see was the bottom of legs, walking around the cold hard metal floor. "Hey let me out of here!!" He shouted, through the flap. But nothing came in return, just silence. Where was he? How did he get here? He couldn't recall. In fact, all he could remember was his name.
Just then, the flap opened and a bowl slid through. He smelt it and then backed away, closing his eyes in disgust. "Cabbage soup?!" He shouted, trying his best not to throw up. "You gotta be kidding me!" He examined the room for a means of escape, but nothing. Just a cold grey metal interior, he could only just about make out a door, it was the same as the walls. Except, he knew it was door because it had an underneath. A small crack where light could be seen, but there was no handle or window. In one corner of the small room, there was a pair of boots pointing towards him. The only thing not metal about the room was the bowl of cabbage soup.
He stood up and pushed the door, trying his best to open it up but nothing happened. As he sat back down, the door lifted up and disappeared under a thicker piece of wall. A man came through in padded armour and a helmet, he held a thin stick with a blue tip at the end of it. "Exercise, one hour. Put the boots on!" Cole got up and charged at the man, the man side stepped out of the way and sent a bolt of electricity from the stick, surging through Cole, knocking him down. "Idiot." The man said, spitting on him. "Now put the boots on and get out!"
The shock helped it all came flooding back, as he lay motionless on the ground looking up. He was a demon, a very powerful demon. He got to his feet and smiled at the man, "Bad news, I remember who I am." He told him, waving his hand to throw him back. But nothing, the man stood still and felt nothing. "Don't make me shock you again demon scum!" He shouted advancing on Cole.
One Day Earlier
A smartly dressed Cole entered the elevator from his penthouse, with brief case in one hand and a newspaper in the other, ready for another day at work. The elevator came to a halt and made the ding sound. When the doors opened, two men stood before him.
"Mr. Turner, may we have a word?"
Cole knew exactly who they were, he smiled and nodded. "Certainly gentleman, step inside." He said backing away, leaving room for them to enter.
The men smiled to each other and walked in, the doors closed and slamming could be heard. A big thud was heard as someone hit the doors, leaving a dent. Now it was screams, and the sound of burning. The doors dinged open and Cole stepped out, inside the elevator were scorch marks. He walked off and whistled a tune.
The Office
He sat down in his office, dropping the newspaper on his desk. His answer machine had a flashing light, meaning he had messages. "You have two new messages." The machine told him.
"Turner, its Morris. Just got news on our demon friend Judge Finnigan. Two men came to my office earlier looking for you, they said they work for Judge Finnigan. And to pass this message on to you if they didn't and I quote. 'Get to you first.' I thought you said the girls were gonna vanquish him??"
"Cole. It's Paige. We can't find anything in the book on Judge Finnigan, does he have some sorta demon name?"
"Messages Erased." The machine told him, after he pressed the erase button.
Suddenly, there was a cold wind floating about. He looked around and saw the window was closed. The wind knocked him off his seat and then formed in to a big red demon not unlike Belthazor. He quickly got up and threw a fireball at it, sending it off in flames. Five more demons appeared, all big and red. "Punishers." He said to himself after noticing the markings on their head. As he thought with one, another came from behind and rapped a collar around his neck. Electrocuting him and knocking him unconscious.
