Demon Fighters
Chapter seventeen
After a moment of Kelsey and Edger gathering their weapons, the three young hunters were ready to go and were out the door of their comic-book shop in five minutes.
Alan pointed out that the killing was but ten miles from where they lived and was on the beach so they had to ride the dirt bikes. Kelsey was less than thrilled with that fact but she dealt with it, holding tightly to Edgar as they jumped a small flight of stairs and hit the beach.
Soon they came to a point under the boardwalk where a body lay, no police men had shown up yet and there where no civilians gawking.
Kelsey turned to Alan with narrowed eyes, "How did you know about this murder?"
He shrugged, his face neutral, "I know some people."
Kelsey, deciding it might be better for her to drop the matter, just shrugged and cautiously walked nearer to the dead body to examine it. It was a woman, in her early thirties it seemed, light brown hair and sun tanned skin, by the way she was dressed she seemed to be local. Her eyes were gone and so was her heart, her shirt torn halfway open, reveling a big hole, oozing red.
Kelsey coughed, "I think I'm going to be sick!" And she walked/ran past Edgar and Alan to get some fresh air away from the already rotting corpse.
After a short while later, Edgar and Alan walked back to the bikes, one of which Kelsey sat on with her head on her knees. Edgar took her hands in his and pulled her to where she was standing in front of him before hugging her. She hugged him back, she had seen lots of dead things in her life, a lot of wicked shit, but never had she seen something like that.
Edgar waited as she collected her cool once more, not saying a word, just stroking her hair softly and holding her. Alan sat on his bike, not blaming her for being a little freaked out by the murder and he'd figure she'd be okay once they got home and discussed it.
Taking in a breath, Kelsey stepped back from Edgar and waited until he got on the bike before mounting the thing herself. As soon as she had her arms wrapped tightly about him, Edgar was off, keeping a smooth face even though his thoughts were going a mile a minute about the murder.
What was it that done such a thing? A witch maybe? Or a vampire? He had studied the body closely and noted that no blood seemed to be drained from it, but didn't devil worshippers always use the heart and eyes of people to do their devil worshiping?
As they got back on the pavement, and closer to the shop, he decided he would read up on it.
~0o0~
Coming into the shop, and going to the staircase door, Kelsey trudged up the stairs and into the hallway of their house, leaving Edgar and Alan to discuss the murder downstairs, she walked into her room and deafly unhooked her weapons, setting them down on her bed before going to her dresser and pulling out a oversized T-shirt and gym shorts, then made her way to the bathroom, kicking off her boots in the hallway.
Closing and locking the door behind her, she took off her clothes and got into the shower.
~0o0~
Edgar and Alan walked up the stairs, Alan going to his room and Edgar going to his, noteing Kelsey was in the shower, he paid no attention to it as he closed his door and got ready for bed, figuring she would come in when she was ready.
~0o0~
Kelsey couldn't get the image of the body out of her head, nothing like this had ever bothered her before, although she had never seen anything quite like it, she had seen worse.
But the eyeless head of the woman kept staring at her and she began to get a head ach.
Suddenly, a sharp pain went through her skull and she yelped, grasping her head, a sharp pain came again and she cried out, falling to her knees…
A woman slowly strutted around her, smirking wickedly, at the girl before her. The woman wore a tight black dress, her hair the color of straw and Kelsey stared up at her defiantly, although she felt fear in her bones.
The woman, scoffed, "So, you think you can kill me," She said, a tone of boredom in her voice.
A searing pain went across Kelsey's back and she couldn't help the scream that ensued.
The woman stooped down and grabbed Kelsey's chin, forcing her to look up into pitch black eyes. "You know not what you are meeting girl,"
Kelsey suddenly couldn't breathe, her chest was constricting, the woman laughed, "You are weak,"
Kelsey's head started to throb, the pounding hard enough for to start to see stars, without realizing it she let out a wail.
"You are weak," the woman said again, as the breath was slowly coming out of her and her head felt like it was about to crack open. "You will die."…..
"Kelsey!" Edgar's voice rang through her ears as he shook her hard, her naked, wet form laid out on the tile floor of the bathroom.
Taking a deep breath, she gasped, the pain in her head and the constricting of her chest gone as soon as she opened her eyes.
She looked up at Edgar and fear was in her eyes, gasping she panted, "I saw the killer, and she's no ordinary witch."
Edgar nodded, pushing some of her hair away from her face, "You have a nose bleed," he pointed out and she touched her nose to find that she in face did have a nose bleed.
"Oh. Ewwww." She looked around for her towel when she realized she was butt naked. "Edgar!" she screeched, snatching her towel and wrapping it around her, "Don't you look at me naked!"
His eyes widened a fraction, but his voice was still sort of calm, "I didn't look at you naked! I swear. I had to bust open the door to get in here when I heard you screaming. Why do you have the bathroom door locked anyway?"
She looked at Edgar like he was an idiot, her nose still having a steady flow of blood coming out of it and dripping onto the floor, "Edgar. Sometimes you are an idiot."
He frowned, "Why?"
Shaking her head; Kelsey grabbed a roll of toilet paper for her nose and her sleep wear before walking out of the bathroom to go change in her room.
Edgar stood in the bathroom, flabbergasted at the way his girlfriend thought things through, and thinking about what she said about a witch.
A infuriated yell of the name "Alan!" and "Get OUT of my room," told him that Kelsey was not in a good mood, Alan walked out mumbling under his breath but stopped when he saw Edgar leaning against the bathroom door watching him.
"What's her problem?" he asked, throwing a look over his shoulder.
Edgar shrugged, "She had another vision, this one was bad…and I saw her naked."
Alan's eyes widened, "You WHAT?"
Edgar nodded, leaning in so she wouldn't hear him from her room, "She's hot man."
Alan raised his eyebrows, "I bet."
Just then, Kelsey stormed out of her room and into Edgar's shouting, "I'm going to bed!" and slamming the door shut.
The Frog brothers stood silent, Alan glanced over at Edgar and crossed his arms, whispering, "You think she heard us?"
Edgar shrugged, "Nah, but she was blushing though…"
"Yup."
The two brothers were silent for a moment before Edgar sighed, "I'm going to the research room I think we may have a lead. Keep an ear out for Kelsey for me will ya?" Alan nodded before heading to his room while Edgar walked down the hall, almost tripping over Kelsey's boots in the process and heading to the only room Kelsey had never been in before, he needed to find more about the witches of Santa Carla and how to defeat or kill them.

Kelsey lay in bed, her nose had stopped bleeding and her head felt better, but that vision thing scared her, that witch in the vision scared her and Edgar saw her naked.
Kelsey turned over in the bed, thinking it was a little dumb to be worrying about your boyfriend seeing you naked when there's a killer out on the loose.
She was so glad to be home again, she missed Quinn but as Dorothy said in the Wizard of Oz, "There's no place like home."
Giving a sigh, Kelsey closed her eyes and tried to settle on a restful sleep.

A hard knock on the door downstairs jolted Edgar awake from where he had his head on the table sleeping, several books open before him. So far he had found out nothing helpful about killing powerful witches and that fact miffed him.
Another knock came to the door downstairs and he tensed, grabbing the nearest weapon which happened to be a baseball bat.
He stood up and quietly walked out into the hallway, closing the door behind him and quietly began moving. He paused by his bedroom and silently opened the door to check on Kelsey, she was sound asleep in his bed and snoring softly.
Closing the door, he walked down to Alan's room and did the same thing, only waking his brother up.
"Alan…" he whispered as more knocking sounded on the door, his brother turned over in his sleep, sighing.
Scoffing, Edgar grabbed his brother's nose and cut off his breathing until finally Alan woke up.
"What the hell man?" he started but Edgar cut him off, "Someone's here, stay up here and protect Kelsey."
Alan nodded and was getting out of bed when Edgar had reached the stairway door and began walking down it before opening the door that led out into the shop.
He could see to shadows by the window at the door, one distinctly female and the other male…he assumed.
As someone knocked on the door again he shouted, "Alright! Who the hells out there? If you've come to kill us, you can go piss up a rope!"
a feminine voice chuckled, "Edgar Frog, if you want me to help fight this witch, you will open this door."
Edgar tensed, his hand tightening on the bat before a voice behind him made him jump.
"Edgar?" turning he saw Kelsey with her eyes half closed and she was staring at him sleepily, "Who's at the door?"
Then a deep voice called from outside, "Kelsey Babe? That you?"
Edgar frowned, his hand tightening on the bat as Kelsey's eyes widened, "Quinn?" stumbling to the door, she swatted Edgar's hand away when he tried to stop her and swung the shop door open before being engulfed in a hug by the werewolf.
"Quinn!" she exclaimed hugging him back as he lifted her off the ground.
After he finally set her down, she turned to the woman behind him and smiled politely, "Hi Kate," the dark woman walked in the shop and smiled back at her.
Edgar, who had been glaring at both strangers, turned to Kelsey and raised an eyebrow, "This is Quinn?"
Quinn, who leaned down to hug Kelsey again, bowed up a little, "And you must be Edgar, you know Eddie you sure are lucky to have a woman like this. I'd had a mind to carry her off from ya if I didn't know she'd shoot me."
Edgar tightened his hold on the bat and snarled, "You try that and I'll kill you…OW!"
He put a hand to the spot on his head where Kelsey had hit him and scowled, "What the hell Kels?"
She glared up at him, "That was for being rude! Now what's going on Quinn? It's late and I'm tired."
Kate stepped forward, "You've been having visions of a woman Kelsey? A witch?"
Narrowing her eyes, Kelsey nodded stiffly, "Yes…why?"
Kate smiled, "We're here to help you kill that witch."
The blonde girl stared at the woman. Edgar looked around confusingly, "Hey why isn't Alan down here?"
Tearing her eyes from Kate's wise gaze she looked at her boyfriend and rolled her eyes. "Asleep, ya know I couldn't get that dip-shit up if I screamed bloody murder."
