~*~ Chapter 7~*~

Jenny couldn't breath whatever that smoky mist was it was stopping her from breathing! She didn't want to die this way, in this place. She had been a fool to think that she could ever have come to the devils playground and strike up a bargain. When all was said and done that's what they were devils; They could lore you into a place of brimstone and hellfire and steal you soul while you watched. Jenny wished that she hadn't have made the shadowmen angry. Angry...That's what she had noticed the first time. Julian had said that the shadowmen had no emotions but he was wrong they had at least one emotion and anger was sure as hell one of them. And sadistic joy is another, she thought as she dropped to her knees. Jenny was close to blacking out when someone grabbed her hand and pulled her from the mist. She fell to the ground and peered up at her savior.

"It's about time. What took you so long anyway?" She said climbing to her feet and swatted at the legs of her pants to dust them off.

"Just wanted to make you sweat a little." Angel said chidingly. "Remember what I said though they can't touch you."

Jenny scowled, "'Can't touch me' that sure as hell felt like touching to me."

"No, that was just some mist. They just want to scare you. But they can't kill you."

"Scare me, sure." She scratched her forehead and took a step forward, shaken but not willing to give up. "I'm sure that we can come to some type of agreement. You give me back Julian, make him human, and in exchange Julian, Angel, and I will play any game of your choosing. If we win I get to take Julian with me but if we loose we will give up our soils to you willingly."

Another shadowman appeared, red eyes narrowed into slits and gorilla hands intertwined. "When we win, we get to keep you, savor you? All of you?"

She couldn't believe what she was doing. "*If* you win, yes, all of us."

"Good, then we will play along with this little *game* and when you are our we will savor you, enjoy you, for a very long time." He smiled revealing blunt tusk-like canine teeth. "Remember you had your chance to run now our appetite for carnage will be satisfied."

With that the shadowman dissolved into the dark shadows and Jenny looked around, confused. "Angel?"

"Yes?" He raised an eyebrow.

" Where is Julian? They promised they'd give him back. Where the hell is -" She stopped hearing a distant rumbling sound. It seemed to be getting closer by the second.

"Do you here that Angel?" She whispered frantically.

"Yes, unfortunately."

Jenny looked up at the rocky ceiling and was suppressed when it wasn't their. It was replaced with an electric blue vortex. Her eyes widened as something came through the vortex falling on top of her. Jenny stared as two fathomlessly blue eyes stared back at her. She heard Angel's throaty chuckle behind her, "Let the games begin!"
