In the center of an open court yard, the roaring crowd of demons cheered as Tellix stepped up to the gallows. She looked out over the crowd and spotted a snickering demon scrambling up the stairs of the fortress, struggling to drag the monstrous sword behind him. Tellix winced as Rebellion was banged and scratched on the steps while the demon stumbled up the stairs. She stood on the gallows and looked up at the noose, then looked back towards the demons below her. The demons fiddled with the black pistol, poking each other with the barrels and accidentally shooting one another. Tellix rolled her eyes as they began fussing over the black pistol, then glanced back up at the noose. The executioner demon, who was as smart as the demons before Tellix, came up behind her and stuck her head through the noose.
Tellix looked down at her hands, which were poorly tied together in front of her, and began untying the rope as the Executioner rested his hand on the lever. Unknown to the demons, but in their rush to get her to the gallows they forgot to remove her second pistol. In a flash, Tellix grabbed the noose and pulled herself up, then threw her legs up over her head, and onto the wooden beam above her. She crouched on the beam and pulled the pistol from it's concealed holster in her sweater and aimed it at the executioner. Gunshots echoed through the courtyard, followed by the loud crash as the executioners large body crashed through the wooden gallows.
The crowd roared loudly, seemingly amused by the executioners death. Finally a resistance formed and started for Tellix. She grinned at the oncoming attacks, then jumped off the gallows and landed right in the middle of the crowd. She looked up to see the two demons before her, one with countless bullet holes in it's face, and the other holding the pistol completely upside-down. She grinned and took the pistol from them, then shot them both in the foreheads, obviously for kicks, seeing as how they were both immune to the damage.
A demon lunged for her with amazing speed, but being the masterful demon hunter she was, Tellix nimbly evaded the oncoming attack. As the demon flew past her, she grabbed his shoulder and squeezed hard. Moments later the demon fell to the ground, motionless. Tellix picked up the demons scythe and glanced up to the fortess walls and grinned. The dimwitted demon dragged Rebellion along behind him as he made his way around the fortress.
Tellix smiled and looked towards an oncoming demon. He swung his scythe with precise speed as he came closer to Tellix and an erie screech escaped his throat. With perfect timing, Tellix jumped on the flat edge of the scythe as it whistled past her, then pushed off the scythe. Now in the air, she used the heads of the hapless demons and made her way across the courtyard, towards the demon dragging Rebellion. As she came to the edge of the courtyard, she started running at an angle towards the wall. She used the blocks protruding from the wall to run along the side of the wall. The dimwitted demon stumbled past her atop the wall, with Rebellion dangling behind him in the sheath. As he passed by, Tellix reached up and grabbed the strap of the sheath and pulled herself onto the wall.
Feeling the extra weight, the demon looked over his shoulder just in time to see Tellix's fist. A painful wail escaped his throat as he fell to the ground, his face severly indented. Tellix picked up Rebellion and looked over the crowd and smiled. A loud beeping eruppted from her wrist. The LED numbers on the watch read 2:45, Dante would be home from school soon. She looked up at the crowd and shrugged, then turned away from them. A black portal ripped open and enveloped her.
She stepped out of the portal and into her living room, just in time for Dante to come dashing through the front door. He slid to a stop and stared at her with confusion. Her blood red hair was dirty and her clothes were ripped, and she had Rebellion strapped to her back with both the pistols protruding from their concealed hoslters in her sweater.
"What have you been up to?" Dante asked, still staring in confusion. Tellix grinned and shook her head, then replied, "Mmmm..I was..So how was school?" Dante tilted his head and forced a smile, then shook his head and went upstairs. Sighing with relief, Tellix unstrapped Rebellion and plopped down on the couch. She closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.
