~Flyleaf- Broken Wings

"No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!!"

I couldn't scream. I couldn't cry. There was no way I could do anything but sit in shock, completely paralyzed. All the noises muffled like I had cotton in my ears.

The world blurred and spun, like it had with the fear toxin. Only this was worse. In a matter of seconds, my entire world had shattered.

I was only halfway paying attention when I saw the reflection of the demon advancing towards me.

"Cassie!" I heard Valerie scream from somewhere.

I threw myself out of the way, just as the demon came down on the spot where I used to be. Furious, I tackled the demon and just started wailing on her. I didn't have any intention of stopping the beating until Sarah tried to snap me out of it.

"Stop! Cassie, look where you are!" Sarah screamed at me.

For a half a second I didn't care, but the I noticed that we were on top of the rug. Grudgingly, I rolled off her.

As soon as I did, the demon jumped up and lunged at me, but was knocked back by the invisible force I like to call a devil's trap.

"No hard feelings about your brother, Cassandra." the demon said using Dora's voice. "It wasn't personal or anything, he just got in my way!" It laughed.

I looked back between Sarah and Valerie for a moment.

"Do it." I said darkly.

Then Sarah began the ritual, babbling something in Latin from her book. The demon in Dora began to twitch and squirm, trying to put up a fight, but all in vain. Dora coughed and sputtered out black smoke from her mouth and nose. it's black eyes glaring up at me hatefully, completely outraged,

"By the way," I growled "It's Cassie."

I watched in bitter satisfaction as the demon was sent packing. "Back to hell, you sonovabitch."

Dora's body slumped to the floor, exhausted. Sarah checked her pulse.

"She alive?" Val asked.

"Affirmative."

We heard a sigh of relief, or maybe disbelief, from Dr. Hahl. We all turned to face her.

"Well?" I said.

"Well what?" she asked

"Are you okay?"

She nodded quickly.

"Told you they were real." I smirked. "We'll be leaving now."

"Believe me, I won't stop you." she said.

"Good girl."

I knelt down by Frankie's body, broken and lifeless. There was no question about it. Frankie was dead. His neck had snapped, his legs were bent the wrong way, and his skull had been crushed.

My big brother was broken.

"Bring the car around." I murmured.

I reached into Frankie's pocket and produced a ring of keys. I tossed them to Valerie who disappeared as soon as she snatched them. No one spoke a word as we waited for her to pull up in Frankie's black 1967 Chevy Camaro. Frankie never let me drive it.

"What are you gonna do?" Sarah asked.

"We're gonna bury him. What else would I do?" I snapped at her.

She looked down and I instantly regretted what I said.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. It may have sounded like I was apologizing to Sarah, and in a way, I was, but all my sorrow was directed towards my brother. My protector, mentor, the only family I have left.

Had left.

"I'll take him." I said. "You guys follow." I hopped in the car.

"Uh, Cassie? What're you doing?" Valerie asked.

"Huh?"

Without thinking, I crawled into the passenger's seat, forgetting for a moment that for once in my life, I would be able to drive Frankie's precious car. It sucked that the car I looked so forward to driving was only accessible if my brother was dead. I smiled grimly. This was bittersweet.

"Oh… right…"

We set off once Frankie had been placed gently in the trunk of the Camaro. I tried my best not to cry while I was driving. I didn't want to have to stop in the middle of the road just to bawl my eyes out. I'd have to wait.

We buried Frankie in a field several miles away from Gotham. We put up a wooden cross at the edge of the woods, far from the road.

The girls said a few words, but I couldn't bring myself to speak. They left me alone for a couple hours, which is how I wanted it really. I didn't want anyone there. Not even Jonathan.

I had to say something to him. I knew he could hear me from somewhere.

"I STILL NEED YOU!!" I screamed. "YOU WEREN"T SUPPOSED TO GO FIRST!"

"I was always supposed to go first… I was always ready…" I sobbed tearlessly.

I didn't say anything for a while, until I suddenly got angry. I let out a painful shriek, kicking the side of the car repeatedly. I wasn't angry at God or anything. No, I could never blame God for something. I was angry at myself. Furious that I was powerless, and weak. I knew we all had to die sometime, but at the inconvenience of others.

I stopped kicking and looked down to see if I had damaged the car. I was fine. No dents or scratches.

"Fail, I'm a weakling!" I smiled bitterly at the dark humor. Frankie would've said something like that.

There was nothing more I could do so I started driving back. I had only been driving a few minutes when I spotted a woman up ahead, waving her arms madly at me.

I slowed to a stop and she ran up to my window.

"Help me please!" she cried hysterically.

"Calm down, just tell me what happened." I said.

"There's something wrong with my husband! His eyes, they were black! He tried to kill me!" she sobbed. "He cut the phone cords and stole my cell!"

"Show me where!" I said. "Get in."

We sped off down the road, getting closer and closer to my next hunt. My next hunt of many without Frankie.

The End.
