And this chapter will be the end of part one.

I hope you all have enjoyed the first half of The Devil's Trap and I'll do my best to write more soon... Enjoy!

I was rudely awoken by someone pulling off my covers, making me growl lowly and try to pull them back up. They only were pulled away again as I opened my eyes to glare at the culprit. Lo and behold, it was Slender, keeping his word on getting us up early.

"Allison, it's time for your training." He stated before vanishing. I flipped off the space he was at before groaning and laying back down.

"Wouldn't do that if I were you."

I hissed and rolled over, burrowing myself into my blankets to try an escape the reality of the situation. I heard a scoff and the snapping of fingers, feeling my stomach drop as I landed on my floor with a dull thud. I scrambled up, looking around in confusion and irritation.

"LJ, where the fuck is my bed?" I grumbled, ruffling my hair and glaring at the entity. He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

"Somewhere. And it's not coming back until your ass is downstairs." He replied sternly. "I'm not having Slender rip us a new one because you're a lazy shit." I hardened my glare at him, which he gladly returned until I threw my arms up in defeat.

"Fine, dickwad." I snapped and got up, brushing myself off as I walked out of my room and down to the kitchen.

Slender still was a jerk and didn't go easy on us, tossing us around like ragdolls or something like that. He knocked us down with very little effort and it was frustrating as all hell, but the only positive thing out of that was we managed to get a few hits on the guy.

That is until we finally got the guy good.

He swiped one of his tendrils at us and we ducked, avoiding the attack. LJ acted quickly and grabbed the appendage, catching the other off guard as he pulled hard. Slender stumbled and I dove in, delivering a good old fashioned high kick to the entity's jaw before LJ pulled be back to safety.

A stunned silence came over us, but it was soon broken by my triumphant whooping and laughing.

"Take that, asshole!" I hollered and laughed again while LJ rolled his eyes at my behavior, giving me a firm slap upside the head. I grumbled and rubbed the spot as Slender stood, brushing off the dust from his suit.

"…impressive." He complimented. "You both have greatly improved."

"Yeah, whatever." I deadpanned. "You gonna let me go back to school yet or am I going to have to stay home and have mommy teach me."

"We will see." Slender replied as he vanished. LJ and I tensed, his eyes darting around while I waited for him to find where the tall man had gone to.

He's behind us. LJ said.

Dodge. I replied as we did a barrel roll out of the way, avoiding an attack and glaring at the tall entity, who was standing where we once were.

"Excellent." He nodded in praise.

"I see that training is going well."

I looked and saw my mom leaning against the porch rail, smiling at us. I grinned and went to wave when I felt pain erupt in my abdomen, the force of whatever hit me knocking me back into LJ as we flew a few feet backwards and landed into the dirt harshly. Groaning, we both sat up, glaring at the tall man.

"The fuck…?" I grumbled at the entity, holding my gut in pain. He only seemed to shake his head.

"As I said before," He began, voice thick with disappointment. "You must be prepared for anything."

"Fuck you Slender." LJ hissed, glaring menacingly at him. Slender ignored LJ and stood still, waiting for us to retaliate against him.

I'm going to kill him... LJ told me and I frowned, glancing up at him.

Good luck with that. I replied bitterly, returning my glare at Slender. He merely tilted his head at us, as if to ask if we were done sulking amongst ourselves. LJ flipped him off and got up, dusting himself off before helping me up as well.

"Ouch…" My mom murmured and LJ shot her a glare, in which she returned with a shrug. I elbowed him in the leg and he returned it kindly with a slap to the back of my head.

"Dick." I growled.

"Bitch." LJ retorted.

"Cock sucker."

"Enough." Slender groaned and rubbed his temple in irritation. The two of us glared at one another before shrugging it off.

We were finally getting the hang of this duo fighting thing.

After another week of this godawful training, more of Slender's rants and raves about us using teamwork, fighting like goddamn cats and dogs, we were finally starting to get the hang of this fighting gig.

Finally getting the upper hand against the tall man himself.

"Excellent." Said tall entity praised as we finished another session.

"Great, can we fucking leave now?" LJ snapped venomously.

"Yeah man," I agreed, crossing my arms across my chest and glaring at Slender. "I'm tired as shit and I need a break before I literally break." The tall man shook his head and I could feel the disappointment emanating from the being.

"Fine." He relented. "You two have improved dramatically, so I supposed a small break is in order." I frowned at his words, but didn't argue as I turned on my heel and started back into the house.

A cool burst of air greeted me as I walked in, thanking whatever god was around for the person that invented air conditioning. I sighed in relief and headed into the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water and downing half of it in a couple of large gulps.

"Jesus, thirsty much?" I turned and looked at my brother, scoffing at his inquiry.

"That is an understatement, my sir." I replied and quickly swallowed the rest of the beverage before throwing the empty bottle away.

"Careful or you'll get waterlogged." He said with a wink before rummaging through the cabinets. I snorted and rolled my eyes at his warning, grabbing another bottle before walking out into the living room and plopping down on the couch with a loud sigh.

"Yoo Allie!" Frankie greeted as he walked in from nowhere and sat next to me. "Done with your brutal training?"

"Yeah, for now." I closed my eyes. "I think I'm going to die."

"Aw, c'mon bro," Frankie laughed. "You're too badass to die."

"I dunno bro," I smiled playfully. "Dying sounds pretty nice right about now."

"Whatever, you nerd." He grinned and lightly shoved me. "Wanna watch some mind rotting TV?"

"Dude, we're watching Family Guy or American Dad. I need some of that stupidity to make me laugh."

"You guys are fucking stupid." I heard Matthew yell from the other room. I did what came naturally and flipped him the bird, even though he couldn't see it.

"So, seriously," Frankie started, switching on Netflix and starting up an episode of Family Guy. "You done with training for today?" I shrugged as I stared intently at the screen.

"With Slendy? Who knows…" I replied dully. "He's probably waiting for the perfect time to strike us while we're distracted."

"As entertaining as that would be I'm afraid you are wrong, Allison." I nearly jumped out of my skin as I turned and glared at the tall man standing behind me. He seemed to be focused on the episode playing on the TV rather than my reaction.

"What? You finally done tortur—what the fuck are you watching?" I snickered as LJ walked into the living room and squinted at the TV with a mixture of intrigue and disgust. Frankie looked at me with confusion before shrugging his shoulders and throwing his hands up into the air.

"I can't believe I'm so left out of the loop with this mysterious friend of yours…" The brunette pouted, making LJ roll his eyes and cross his arms at the childish gesture.

"Dude, you're not missing much." I replied with a playful smirk, earning a scowl from the monochrome entity. Before he could retort, Matt walked in from the kitchen and glared down at us.

"Listen, Allie, I know you just got done with your…. 'training'," The jerk had the audacity to grind out the word training like we hadn't done a damn thing all day. "But we're behind with practice and there's a show coming up in a few weeks."

"So, in other words…" I huffed a sigh. "You want me to practice instead of relaxing and watching mindless TV?"

"Allie, it's been almost a month since you guys have practiced together." Matt pointed out. "I just want to make sure you guys are ready."

"I'm always ready for—"

"You finish that sentence Frankie and I'm cutting your dick off."

"Yeek… savage. I like that." I snickered as LJ looked between the two boys with complete disgust.

"The fuck kind of friends do you have, kid?" He asked me and I busted up laughing, causing Matt and Frankie to stop their bickering and look at me in confusion.

"The hell is so funny?" Matt snapped angrily.

"What'd your invisible friend tell you this time?" Frankie whined.

"He thinks you guys are fucked up, which he's not wrong." I giggled. Matt scowled and Frankie grinned sheepishly with a small shrug. LJ shook his head in disappointment while I just laughed again. That seemed to only fuel Matt to start ranting at the two of us while Frankie and I just laughed and poked fun at our dark haired friend.

"Kid. Kid get the fuck up."

I groaned and sat up on my bed, glaring at LJ. The prick was leaning against the wall adjacent to my bed, eyes narrowed and he looked pretty tense.

"What?" I grumbled, ruffling my hair. "If you're lonely, get a cat."

"Shut up, have you seen Cory?" He retorted, sounding pretty pissed off. I yawned and shrugged.

"No, last time I saw him, he was hanging with Rosemary." I replied as LJ snarled lowly and pushed off the wall, pacing in my room. I watched him dully before throwing a pillow at him. It completely missed, but I had just woken up, so cut me some slack.

"What's eating at you, eh?" I asked. "I'm sure he's fine."

"I haven't seen the kid all day… and come to think of it, I haven't seen your aunt either." He ranted before stopping and turning to glare at me. "…did your aunt take off with the kid?" I rolled my eyes at his behavior. He was acting like a child that had his toy taken away.

"Look, LJ, I'm sure Cory is fine, man…" I muttered. "If you're so worried about it, I'll call my aunt for you." I fumbled around my nightstand until I got ahold of my phone, quickly opening the call app and calling my aunt. I pressed the speaker button and held my phone up so we both could hear her. The phone rang a few times before my aunt finally picked up.

"Allie?" She asked. Ah, caller ID. Gotta love it. "What are you doing up so late?"

"Hey Auntie, you got Cory with you?" I asked, ignoring her question and getting to the point of my phone call.

"What? Oh, yes. I meant to surprise you, but you and LJ were so busy with training and Cory was very excited—"

"Excited?" I asked, interested now. "For what?"

"Well…." My aunt started. She sounded happy, for whatever reason. "You see, I noticed how happy he was when he was at your house and how well he fit in with the family, especially with Rosemary. Those two hit it off so quickly. But when I approached him a few days ago, he was upset because he didn't want to leave. So, I decided to fly back to the orphanage and adopt him."

Silence fell over the room as the information fell over us, my aunt calmly explaining that she'd be back in a couple days with Cory in tow. In the middle of her sentence I busted up laughing, startling my aunt as LJ glared at me.

"Don't you—"

"You fucking dweeb, I told you he was fine!" I managed through my giggles.

"Allie? What do you mean?" My aunt asked. "Are you talking to LJ? Is that why you called?" I didn't answer as I was too busy laughing my ass off.

"I fucking hate you kid." LJ muttered as I wheezed from my massive laugh attack. I heard my aunt sigh before laughing softly.

"Was LJ worried about Cory?" She asked. "I have him right if he wants to talk." I saw the monochrome entity perk up a bit at the thought of talking to Cory. I grinned and told my aunt to put the small brunette on, handing the phone to the entity.

"How can you not know how to work a smartphone?" I teased as LJ glared at me.

"Kid, I'm old as fuck, how do you expect me to?" He snapped.

"C'mon, LJ. You hung up. Twice."

"How the fuck was I supposed to know!?"

"My god how do you function?"

"I'm going to rip your voice box out." I laughed harder and fell back onto my bed while LJ hissed at me, leaning back against my bed on the floor. He propped a leg up and rested an arm over his knee, glaring at me from his seat on the floor.

"Aw, don't look at me like that, man." I whined. "It was hilarious."

"Was not. Cory thought I was mad at him." LJ snapped before sighing. "Whatever, fucking smartphones can kiss my ass."

"It's funny how pissed you are." I pointed out.

"Shuddup kid."

"Bite me."

"Don't tempt me."

I was about to reply when LJ suddenly snapped his head towards my bedroom door, glaring at it. I furrowed my brows and looked at the door curiously.

Something's out there. LJ informed me and I frowned. There were some thumps and some kind of groaning, causing the hairs on the back of my neck to rise.

Something's wrong. I said. Let's go check it out.

Kid, that's a bad idea.

LJ, something's really wrong, I can feel it. We have to see what's up.

The monochrome entity grunted in disagreement as he stood, walking over to the door while I followed close behind.

It was dark in the hall, the moon barely shedding any light in the house. Shadows danced along the walls, trying to draw out fear from their mere appearance. I stiffened as the thumping noise grew louder, followed by a sickening squelch. Almost as though someone was playing in mud. I stopped in front of the guest room door, staring at the door before knocking.

"Yo, Kath? Is that you?" I asked, almost forgetting that she and the rest of the gang decided to spend the night. There was a growling, followed by another squelch.

Shit. LJ ground out and I looked at him, only to see the entity turn the knob and push the door open.

In the center of the room was my friend, or should I say what was left of her. Her eyes were glazing over as life slowly left her bloodied body, her entire abdomen was in shreds. Pieces of entrails and flesh were strewn about the room and I almost vomited at the stench of blood. In the middle of it all stood a tall figure, holding some of Katherine's guts in his hands. His eyes were a vivid and glowing red, sharp talons for fingers and a mouth full of razor like teeth pulled back into a grin.

"You son of a bitch!" I screamed and lunged for the creature, only to be caught and held back by LJ. "Let me go, you fucking asshole! Katherine!"

"Kid, she's gone." LJ said, glaring at the creature. "And that guy will shred you too, calm down-"

"Katherine!"

Whatever it was, it laughed deeply and lunged at us. LJ acted quickly and dropped us both the floor to roll out of the way, just barely dodging the sharp talons. I growled at the thing before us.

Kid, calm—

Fuck off LJ! I snapped, running on the fumes of anger, hurt, and adrenaline.

Goddamn it kid, fucking listen—

Pain erupted in my side as we were knocked to the ground, a large gash where we were hit. I felt the blood begin to seep into my clothes, my thoughts becoming muddled from everything that was happening.

"God-fucking-dammit!" LJ hissed. "This is why I told you to calm the fuck down!"

"What's—holy shit!" I heard my brother say and my stomach dropped.

"Dalton get the fuck out of here!" I screamed as the demon turned to him, darting forward. I acted quickly as LJ and I dived in front of Dalton and bitch slapped the creature across the room, catching me by surprise a bit.

Will you fucking listen to me now?! LJ hissed through our mind link.

Fine! The fuck do we do!? I snapped back.

The demon leapt at us and LJ deflected and sent it back into the wall.

Leave! We stiffened at Slender's sudden intrusion. I will take care of this, just get out of here!

What the fuck, Slendy!? I snapped at the entity.

Another attack from the creature ensued, but was blocked by an inky black tendril. I looked to. right to see Slender appear out of literal nowhere, holding the creature back.

"Now!" Slender shouted and I glared.

"Not until I see that mother fucker's entrails on the damn ground!" I shouted back.

"Allison—"

"For fucks sake kid, we don't have time for this!" LJ snarled. I snapped my attention to LJ, eyes ablaze with anger.

"Fuck you that's my friend's guts on the goddamn ground!" I screamed before feeling a sharp crack across my face.

"Snap the fuck out of it kid!"

Everything that happened next was a blur. I remember the creature lunging out of Slender's grasp and towards us again. LJ grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him. My ears started ringing as pain erupted through my entire body, feeling as though every molecule of my very being was being torn apart and then…

Nothing.
