Ch. 9. The Attack
Julie stood up. "I'm going to go eat."
Julie started to walk and lost her balance. The ground was shaking.
"What's going on?" she asked.
Suddenly the ground exploded in front of her, showering her with the bits of wood and dirt.
A huge blue snake-like thing burst into the room. It went up through the ceiling, leaving a huge hole.
Sesshomaru grabbed Julie and pulled her away into the hallway. Jaken was running toward them, screaming about demons destroying the house.
The floor exploded in front of them again. A snake-like thing that was different from the first one burst out of the floor. It flew right up into the ceiling, using these long bat like wings.
Julie could hear the house being destroyed around them. She couldn't see very well however because the hallway was a cloud of dust.
They made it outside. The house was turned into a pile of rubble.
There were at least seven of these blue demons. They all had bat like wings, and fins.
Jaken tried using his staff to blow fire on them. One of the demons opened its mouth and spat out a stream of water, drenching Jaken and his staff.
"JULIE!" shouted a voice. She looked up and saw Sango and Miroku riding on Kilala.
"SANGO!" she shouted. "MIROKU!"
Sesshomaru growled. "Your worthless little friends."
"They are not worthless!" said Julie.
Kilala landed on the ground. Sango got off.
Julie started to run toward them. Sesshomaru grabbed her by the throat and threw her out of his way. She landed on the ground.
"Hirokatsu!" shouted Sango, aiming for Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru easily dodged.
One of the demons made to attack Kilala. Kilala jumped into the air.
"Julie!" shouted Miroku.
Julie got up and ran toward Miroku.
"Were going now!" said Miroku.
The demons were attacking Sesshomaru and Sango and Kilala.
Sesshomaru cut one of the demons in half.
"How dare you!" shouted the other demons.
Another demon attacked Julie and Miroku. One threw Miroku into the air. Kilala caught him. Another demon grabbed Julie with these tentacle like things that came out of its body. It flew into the air.
"NO!" she screamed. "HELP!"
Sango jumped onto Kilala with Miroku and they flew into the air.
The other demons followed the one that had grabbed Julie.
Sesshomaru leaped into the air and grabbed one of the demons before it got too high. He began to fight with it.
The demons were flying very fast. Kilala couldn't keep up.
Sesshomaru and the demon he had grabbed were fighting in the air. The demon was trying to keep up with its fellows and fight at the same time, rolling and spiraling through the air, trying to throw Sesshomaru off. Suddenly it crashed down into the forest, taking Sesshomaru with it.
"SESSHOMARU!" she screamed as the other demons continued to fly, apparently not caring about the fact that one of their own had been brought down.
Sesshomaru would probably survive the fall. He was a tough demon. He must have injured the blue demon, causing it to fall.
The demons flew on. After a while, they flew over a large lake.
Suddenly, the demons began to fly down, heading straight toward the surface of the water. Julie screamed.
She took a big breath as they plunged into the water...
At first, she couldn't see anything but bubbles. She felt the demon release her.
When the bubbles cleared, she realized that she was inside a huge bubble herself! She could breath and everything.
They traveled deep into the lake.
At the bottom, there were tons of demons.
"What is this place?" Julie asked herself.
"This is our home," said the dark blue demon that had grabbed her. "We are water serpents. But we can survive on land as well and we can dig through the ground."
A blue water demon came up to them. He looked to be the biggest of them all.
"You have brought the sacrifice?" said the big demon.
"Yes," said the other demons that had taken Julie.
"What?" asked Julie. "Sacrifice?"
"We kill you as a tribute to me," said the demon leader. "I am the god of these water serpent demons.
"You're not a god!" shouted Julie. "You're just a fat serpent!"
"How dare you!" roared the leader. "You die as a sacrifice to me! Begin the ritual now!"
He retreated. Other serpents came forward, chanting words. One came up to Julie's bubble and lashed his tail through the air. The bubble popped.
Julie had taken a deep breath before the bubble popped. Great, she thought. I'm going to drown down here in the ocean as a sacrifice to some stupid demon that thinks he's a god. This is ridiculous!
She was trying to hold her breath. The demons were all around, blocking anyway to the surface.
Suddenly they parted above her. The next thing she knew, a huge blast of water came from one of the demon's mouth. It hit her like a brick wall.
The force of the water being blasted at her was enough to blast her out of the lake. She couldn't hold her breath anymore. She choked as she inhaled in water.
She was out of the lake. She felt herself blacking out. She felt her body hit the water again as she passed out, unable to breath.
