Chapter 5
My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would come out of its case. I had witnessed something I will never forget about. Some 'thing' came rushing out of the now to be murky water. It had to be some witch or wizard! Clash! There was lightening from the heavens above showing the witch like man's anger. It had a red hood, made of the freshest blood, though it wasn't just blood. It was glowing with symbols of the devil on it. You couldn't see its feet but you could see the hands which belonged to a skeleton. I couldn't quite see the creature's face for it was pitch black in the brute's cape. Nevertheless, it had a golden thistle around its head showing the power the brute had.
After the lightening had stopped more of the fiends appeared, but they weren't exactly the same as they didn't have the golden thistle. Suddenly a gear clicked in my brain. The 'thing,' the 'brute,' the 'creature' was a demon and it's followers. I was paralysed with fear. I couldn't feel or even move my body. The head demon sighed with fire coming out of its cape hood. The demon raised it hands in the air and pointed them at me. My heart had missed a beat. All the demons were flying after me. The light of the world was dim grey. I sprinted into the trees.
Suddenly, the demons fired fire into the woods I was in. I could no longer run back the way I came. The fire had already spread. The only way I could go was to the tyrant's mansion which was haunted. As quick as a flash a demon was beside me. The demon took off its hood and showed its face. The face wasn't a face. It was a little root sticking out of the demons neck. I couldn't pull away my face. I remembered how they suck your soles but I was too late.
The progress made me feel dizzy and relaxed at first then I started screaming with pain. All the bad memories were coming out. With all my might I hefted the sword and sliced it on the devil's 'face'. It screamed with a howl and faded in smoke to the ground for it was their weak spot. I carried on running to the hide away though they still chased me. I jumped in the bush and hid. I saw the demons carry on going down the path way. I had never felt so alive and relieved.
