Megan was breathing in harshly. She didn't know what to do. On one hand she could willingly go to the suldru. On the other hand, she could see if Hellboy, THE Hellboy, really can beat this thing.
"Well?" the suldru asked. "I'm waiting, my sweet."
"What are you?" She asked the suldru.
"A music lover." The suldru said. "A song searcher."
"Are you the singer serial killer?" Megan asked. She looked over at Hellboy. He kept staring at her, looking as if he was waiting for her to do something.
"Those others songs grew stale." The suldru said. "Yours is new. Fresh. I know it won't go bad."
"Is that what you said to the last singer?" Megan asked
"And what if it was?" The suldru asked, tilting it's head to the side. "I'm quite confident in you. After all, fifth time's the charm, right?" He laughed, making a sound that sent chills up Megan's spine. She kept looking back at Hellboy. He made a motion with his hand to come to him. Megan moved a little bit. The suldru stopped laughing.
"So, shall we leave?" The suldru said, holding his hand out.
"Let me think," Megan said, looking from the suldru back at Hellboy, who was mouthing the words 'come on', "Uh, um... I.. appreciate the offer, but no thanks!" Megan ran at Hellboy. The suldru ran at Megan. Instead of guarding Megan like she thought Hellboy would do, when she was close enough, Hellboy grabbed her and threw her up into the rafters. She screamed, flailing in the air. She grabbed hold and lifted herself up. The suldru tried jumping up after her, but Hellboy grabbed his legs and slammed him into the ground, threw him at a few cars, and tossed him through the closed bar next door.
"That was too easy." Hellboy said, pulling out a cigar. He started trying to light it when a tongue seemed to slap him in the face before returning to it's mouth. Hellboy looked at the hole in the wall. The suldru was walking out of it.
"Crap." Hellboy sighed. "It was too easy."
"Why won't you die?!" Megan yelled. She stood, balancing herself and started getting away from where she was on the rafters.
"Don't move kid." Hellboy said, pointing at her before looking back at the suldru. "So, what'll it take to send you to hell?"
"Nothing you can do, I promise." the suldru said, before punching Hellboy. He looked back at the suldru.
"That all?" Hellboy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"For the moment with you," the suldru said, smiling devilishly, "yes, it is." The suldru did a backflip before jumping up into the rafters. He turned around to Megan.
"Must this go on any longer?" he asked. Megan stopped and tried to turn. She lost her footing and screamed, falling to the ground. Jumping in time, Hellboy caught her, holding her bridal style. She waved at him and then wriggled to stand on her own feet.
"Put me down, put me down." she said
"You're welcome." he said. The suldru laughed once more and jumped to the ground.
"Okay, pick me up pick me up pick me up PICK ME UP!!!!" Megan yelled, jumping onto Hellboy's back. The suldru ran towards Hellboy.
"Hang on." Hellboy said. He ran left and jumped over and on a few cars that may have been in his way.
"Why don't we just leave?" Megan asked
"Waiting!" Hellboy said. He ran to the center of the parking lot and looked around. The suldru must be hiding.
"Where'd he go?" Megan asked. She squeezed tighter onto Hellboy.
"Where he go?!" she asked more urgently. Hellboy pulled out his samaritan in a flash and shot above them in the rafters. There was a primal shriek. The two looked up and saw the suldru running. The samaritan was fired many times at him. There was a honk at the parking lot's entrance. Hellboy and Megan looked behind themselves and saw the black van they arrived in.
"Time to go." Hellboy said. Megan took his cue and jumped off his back, running for the van.
"No!" The suldru yelled. He jumped down from the rafters and kicked Hellboy in the face. His tongue lashed out and wrapped around Megan's arm. She screamed and tried to pull away.
"Stop it! It burns!!! AAAAAAHHH!!" She screamed. The suldru winced and covered his ears. Hellboy took this moment to grab him and throw him to the back of the lot. He caught Megan when she flew by, still caught by the tongue. She fell limp against him.
"Megan?" he asked. She had passed out. Hellboy put her over his shoulder and ran into the van. The suldru watched them drive away.
"Hide all you want, I will have my song bird." he said.
