Zafiel: SCHOOLS OUT!!!!!!!! That means I'll be writing a lot more often! Yay!

Gateway to the Underworld

Ch.4. Escape

At the sound of Tsuki's yelling everyone woke up startled.

"Tsuki what's this all about we just ca-." Peter was cut off.

"There is no time! Get everyone out!" All the sudden the room got a lot colder and you could see the breath and the fire and all the light in the room went out, everything went dead silent. Then a strange noise like the sound of large steps and growl came. "They're here."

"Ryuu-chan?"

"Zafiel get everyone out through the back tunnel now go I'll catch up." Zafiel and Peter gathered everyone up and got them going to the back tunnel exit. As soon as after they left a big devil looking creature with skin like body armor, bat like wings and a skull like head with horns appeared in the doorway with many others behind him. Tsuki grabbed her staff and focused a magical aura between her hand and her staff ( looks a lot like lightning.) "If you want me you brainless demonic beasts come and get me.

"W-What's going on?" asked Michael.

"We're being attacked." answered Peter.

"Why don't we just fight back like we always do?" asked Nibs.

"Because you don't want to fight these things." Responded Zafiel. Something was strange about Zafiel and all the LostBoys saw it, Zafiel acted almost serious, Zafiel never acted serious about anything.

"Your probably just way over estimating them, I mean what could defeat Peter." Said Tink rather confident.

"I am not." snapped Zafiel. Then they heard a large crash and looked behind them and saw one of the same creatures Tsuki was fighting.

"W-What is that thing?!" asked Slightly and Wendy screamed.

"Well it looks like one of those lesser demons was able to get passed Ryuu-chan. Just keep on running." Said Zafiel.

"Aren't you worried about her?" asked John.

"Ryuu-chan can take care of herself." And then one of the lesser demons reached for Curly's legs. Zafiel stopped and quickly turned around and with concentrating magic into her sword, making it glow blue, slashed the demon in half then bursted into dust.

"It disappeared." Said John. They saw two others coming Peter threw his dagger at one and it nailed into it's stomach, but it kept on coming, it barley even realized it.

"What?!"

"Peter you can't kill them with those weapons, let's go!" answered Zafiel. They finally reached the small opening to the tunnel covered by a bearskin. Every one crawled under except for Peter who was just about to go through, when the lesser demons stopped they're advancing.

"Well, well it's nice to see you Kadg'ra."

"What?!" Then more lesser demons appeared with a shadow of a human coming through.

"Or do you prefer Peter." It was a women, dark brown hair that came down past her shoulders, green eyes and a black medieval type dress, with antler type head gear and she was pretty tall five foot ten or eleven. She looked human but something was not right.

"Who are you, How do you know my name and why did you call me Kadg'ra?"

"So many questions, I am Demon Lord Mideve."

"I would tell you who I am but apparently you already know."

"Yes, I know who you are but do you?"

"What, of course I kn-."

"Haven't you ever wonder where you came from or feel that you are somehow different?"

"What do you mean?"

"The answer will come to you, my son."

"What?!" then a magic barrier wall was put between them. "NO!"

"Peter come on we have to go we can't wait any longer." Said Zafiel who was sticking out from the tunnel/hole. Peter stood there for a second thinking then turned his attention to Zafiel after looking at her a while he decided to fallow her into the tunnel.

After watching Zafiel cast the barrier spell Mideve could still see the form of her son on the other side, it remand there for a moment and left.

"What a pity I was hoping that he would stay awhile before leaving."

Zafiel: Well I really don't have much to say, so Ryu....u...chan- Hey where's Ryuu-chan?
