Looking through my old stories makes me realize how crappy they were...

Once the figure entered light, they saw it was a man, his face cast in shadow. He was not alone, the sounds of feet on stone was soon heard. Four more figures appeared, but unlike this one, these figures had faces.
"That's us!" Kashi gasped pointing at a mirror image of herself.
The four starred in wonder at their doubles, who circled around the figure cast in shadow. The copies were worn, and beat up, bodies battered and bleeding. Kakaeru's image even swayed from blood loss, but stopped when the shadowed figure began to laugh.
Yoru's mirrored self, led the other copies, charging into battle, but the figure easily overtook him. It was ready to strike when Kashi's mirrored image grabbed the figures arm, "Stupid girl!" it cried and grabbed her neck crushing it.
They copies, and the originals froze starring at the Kashi. The copy's glassy eyes swam with pain, but was quickly covered up with death. Releasing the copy, It fell dead on the ground. Kashi's dead eyes starring at the real group. The real Kashi paled, and looked over at Yoru, whose mouth hung open and he trembled.
"Its not real...its not real..." muttered Kakaeru over and over, all the while keeping her eyes closed. Hame's hand was on Kashi's shoulder and he starred at the standing girl before him, and then the dead one starring back at them.
Yoru was transfixed with the scenes being played out before him. His wide, horrified eyes starring at the battle that was so quickly going down the toilet. The copy group screamed their fury; the Hame copy viciously attacking the figure, his eyes filled with rage, agony, and sorrow.
The figure smiled and brought one of his hands back. The copy Yoru tried to warn the enraged Hame, but his warning came to late. A dark chuckle filled the air, followed by a surprised groan of pain. The figure had shoved his hand thorough Hame. All went quiet as the mirrored Hame pulled away, blood streaming out both parts of his body. Stomach and waist. His silver eyes glazed over, loud pants filling the air, Hame continued to stumble backwards. The copies death was not quick like Kashi's.
The Hame image opened his mouth and out gurgled blood, oozing from his lips "DamX..." he whispered, and died on the spot, collapsing in a heap. Hame looked at his dead image and then at Yoru, 'He is afraid of our deaths...afraid...of witnessing us die?' he thought then turned back to look at his dead form, glancing at Hame who shivered with fear.
Now only two copies of our four heroes remained.
The Kakaeru image and Yoru image roared angrily, charging forward ready to kill the one who had taken their friends, but in the end the figure dominated them and raised an energy spear to kill Yoru.
The image of Yoru lay on his back, looking up at him with glazed over eyes. He tried to raise himself, but found he couldn't. "Now you die..." The figure raised the spear above his head bringing it sharply down. A mere inch before the tip touched his neck a cry filled the air.
"WAIT!!"
The Kakaeru image fell to her knees, her small body covered in red blood. "I'LL MAKE A TRADE! ME FOR HIM! PLEASE!!" The image begged, blood falling from her lips. She bowed to him on all fours, waiting for some sort of answer.
There was a long period of stunned silence from the illusions, and from the ones watching the illusions.
The spear disappeared, and stepping on the fake Yoru's injured chest, the figure reached her. He pressed his foot on her head, smashing her face harder into the dirt. Tiny growls followed from both the real Yoru, and copy one. Grabbing Kakaeru by her hair, the dark figure cupped the girl's face giving her the once over, "Yes..." He eventually said, "you'll be a fine trade."
The Kakaeru image didn't scream, or panic as the figure looked her over, but smiled at the Yoru image who lay helpless on the floor. "Sorry, I'm not strong-" the figure roughly grabbed her by the hair again, snapping, "Who told you, you could talk?" With that he began to walk away, copy Kakaeru snarling angry at the image who had a grip of her hair. "NO! DON'T HURT HER!" Yoru's image begged the figure, trying desperately to raise his arms.
"Poor boy, too bad you weren't strong enough to save the only friends you ever had!" The figure hissed, laughing at him, and then spitting on him. "Kakaeru will pay the price for your costly mistake!" The figure laughed, pointing a finger at him. Finally, he turned dragging a screaming and kicking Kakaeru away.
Yoru could only move an inch, before he collapsed in weariness, eyes closed as he listened to Kakaeru's angry yells. No longer able to see the figure or the copy of Kakaeru, they listened to her screams. Her last scream was cut off suddenly, and a horrible silence filled the air.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Copy Yoru screamed, blood mingling with his tears. Kakaeru who'd watched this scene in silence let go of Yoru, and dizzily ran to Yoru's image. She grabbed his face and his eyes widened as he saw her. She was surprised she could feel this fake Yoru's cold skin, and even wipe away his tears.
"That was not real..We're alive! We're all alive!!." Yoru stood perfectly still watching Kakaeru talk to his image, and at the same time he and his image both muttered "Yes it was."
Hame cried out running towards Yoru as he suddenly closed his eyes, and collapsed. Hame caught his new friend, holding him, Kashi joining him. Yoru had paled, and looked to be the color of ash now, and his breathes began to slow. "Oh God! He'd dying!!" Hame slapped Yoru across the face, "How the Hell..."
Kakaeru looked back at Yoru, and he eyes watched as his spirt began to diminish, his aura seeming to be sucked towards something from with the cave. Kakaeru followed the trail, and found his spirit was being sucked up by them image of Yoru. "Sorry..." She muttered killing it.
As the fake image of Yoru died, and the real Yoru took in a gasp of air. His eyes opened, and Hame laughed and slapped his back, holding him. Kakaeru's sharp mismatched eyes turned to glare at the cave. Something was very wrong inside her.
Calling upon one of short swords, she threw it with all her strength into the cave, shouting, "YOU WILL NEVER HAVE HIS SOUL!"
Slowly, a moaning sound rose from the cave, echoing off the walls, followed by the sound of something dragging itself across stone. Kakaeru looked up into the darkness of the cave. The dead Yoru image disappeared, and she heard very softly something say, "...don't interfere..."
Kashi stayed very still, starring into the darkness just as Kakaeru was doing, but she whispered, "Kakaeru....Kakaeru...Please...get back here." Hame was also sitting very still, holding a panting Yoru who watched everything with half opened eyes, "Come here...human dif you hear me? Get back." Hame hissed but all went silent as they all spotted a hellish figure coming out of the cave.
This beast was as big as the cave it self, and as wide as a mammoth. The light fell across the beast, and the group wished it hadn't. Kakaeru wished she could move, but only found herself able to stare into the eyes of the monster before her.
Its eyes where a mirrored reflection of hell's fire; it was black and murky, like a very large piece of hot tar. Yoru mumbled her name weakly as the rest stood in front of the paralyzed Kakaeru. As a dark, disfigured hand reached for her, she turned to look at the others, eyes wide and mouth open with fear. Kashi, and Hame were frozen, and Kashi kept murmuring, !" Hame's body shook from fear, and shock.
The large arm reached, molding it self around her, the hand fitting from her knees to her neck, the creature's thumb stroking her hair. It squeezed her, and she now struggled to breath from being choked, as well as fear. Kakaeru gazed at it, terrified as it gave the most horrible screeching sound.
The screech was like listening to strangled cries of death. Its teeth were human skulls, and its tongue human bodies missing its skin. Each muscle being sewn together to make up the creatures tongue. Daring to look down she saw a hole where his heart should have been.
He heart pounded fast in her rib cage, as she starred at the hole. In the hole there was indeed, his heart, and it rest in that spot, train spike nails intertwined through it, barbed wire wrapped around the pounding heart.
YOU SHOULDN'T INTERFERE WITH THE NIGHTMARES! HE WAS MY PERFECT VICTIM!
It stated calmly. As it spoke it raised her allowing Kakaeru to look down its throat, and into its belly. Kakaeru's eyes went wider, and if possible her heat hammered faster. She could see human people who looked starved and tortured screaming and begging for help as they ripped each other apart.
They reached for her, eyes dead and angry.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN THEM?
"YORU HELP ME!!" She screamed, voice cracking, but Yoru only lay in Hame's terrified grasp. Kashi also petrified from fear gripping him. "I can't..." The creature laughed, the people in his mouth moaning, and screaming like Banshees.
HE'S RIGHT...YOUR FRIENDS ARE UNDER MY SPELL...IF I CHOOSE I COULD HAVE THEM KILL THEMSELVES...MY POWER IS STRONGER THAN YOURS AND THEIRS.
Hame and Kashi starred at him, now angry to go along with terrified. This beast was right, they could only shake with fear, and could not move their bodies. Yoru starred at Kakaeru, who realized she was alone, and watched as she mechanically turned her head to look back at the creature.
YOU STUPID GIRL. STUPID WRETCH.
The thing with skull teeth whispered, and drew her away from his mouth, and even closer to its heart where she could see his heart beating. She shook violently, teeth chattering as the heart began to move in an odd way. The heart opened up, black blood dripping from the organ, and Kakaeru froze starring at the center of the heart.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!HAME!KASHI!AAAHHHHHHH!!YORU!YORU!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!YYYYYOOOOORRRRUUUUU!!"
Kakaeru screamed, skin whiter than snow, starring at the new hole in the monster's heart.
In the middle of the beast's heart she saw a naked, dead girl, covered in the creatures black blood and sitting in the middle of the heart. The girl's head was shaved, and neck snapped, her head hanging down into her chest. To Kakaeru's horror the dead girl looked up at her, head rolling around as if unable to support itself.
Kakaeru's eyes met the dead girls, she saw it was herself starring back at her. She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out, the tears only traveled faster down her face. Her face had invented a new color of white, and blood dripped out her nose. The creature laughed, and a roar filled the air.
"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER!?"
Yoru was standing, the strength he had lost now back. He had helped Hame and Kashi up, forcing some of his overwhelming power in them. The two stood shaking their heads, as if waking from a dream. They could move now. The monster starred at him, eyes looking hungrily at him.
I HAVE NEVER MET ANOTHER SOUL WITH SUCH RICH FEARS...SUCH DELICIOUS FEARS...I WANT YOU YORU...I WANT YOUR SWEET SOUL.... It moaned hungrily.
Yoru starred at him, and then to Kakaeru who was now completely stiff from fear.
Yoru's Yellow eyes glowed gold and he had an almost insane look about his face. His red diamond mark on his brow glowed, and fire spread over his body, his hair floating up with energy. Yoru jumped up and, grabbed the wrist of the beast and yanked it down hard. Holding up his free hand a large fire ball, as big as two houses blew from his hand, wiping every trace of the cave and the nightmare demon with it.
The arm that Yoru held, the arm that held Kakaeru was all that was left of the beast. Hame and Kashi now able to move on their own, slowly approached Yoru and Kakaeru, both pale and shaking. Yoru was still on fire and burned the arm away. Kakaeru fell from the hand and lay on her stomach.
All went quiet and as Yoru looked down at the still Kakaeru the fire around his body, slowly died away. Yoru reached for her, placing a hand on her shoulder. He pulled her up and saw her face was twisted in horror, and her glassy eyes bore no light, or energy of life. Tears still fell down her face, not stopping.
"She's not breathing..." Kashi whispered, trembling, and starring at Kakaeru's chest. Kakaeru lay motionless dead eyes, starring in front of her, locked in fear.
Kakaeru was dead...
