Evil Dead: Into Darkness (Chapter 2)
It's a bit shorter than the first chapter, I think.

The two began to walk through the dark, burnt, and bloodied streets of what was once London.
Mia had an uneasy feeling, and she turned to look at Ash, who happened to be staring at her ass. "Yo assface, you want some of this, you're gonna have to treat me with respect, alright?" She pouted slightly, walking backwards as she spoke.
Ash shook his head, "I warned you I'd get distracted."
"Fine, you lead then." She said, stopping in front of him. He shrugged, stepping around her, and continuing on. Mia sighed as she walked beside him, "So, Ash, how did you end up here?"
"I saved a medieval era from deadites and ended up here because I slept too long," he groaned.
"Medieval era? Did you sleep for like six-hundred years?" Mia chuckled a bit.
"Seven-hundred. If it was six-hundred I'd be right back in my time…" He shrugged, "but now I'm here, and stuck with you."
"Stuck with me? You're the one who said we should stick together." She glared at him, pouting slightly.
"A couple of words and you trusted me, not sure if you're a good judge of character or if you're just stupid." Ash shrugged, smirking as he saw her get even more irritated by him, "So how'd you get stuck here?"
Mia sighed, "I don't really remember what happened, I hit my head pretty hard after I found the book again. But my first encounter with the damn thing was in a cabin, killed my friends, and my brother…" She looked away from him, placing a hand over her heart where the scars from the make-shift defibrillator kept as a constant reminder of her brother's sacrifice… 'He deserved to live, not me…' She began to think, her guilt had a tight grip on her, and it's not something that would let her go so easily.
"Sounds like you've also been through Hell— wait wait wait wait wait— A cabin?" Ash stopped in his tracks, placing a hand on her shoulder to make her stop.
She turned on her heel, facing him, "Yes. A cabin. A wooden building generally located in wild or remote area."
"I know what a fuckin' cabin is, princess." He shook his head, "My first experience with it was also in a cabin. Sure, it wasn't the full book, but the passage was recited."
"Passage? You mean klatuu berada—" she stopped when Ash's left hand clamped itself over her mouth, and her back met his armored chest as she was pulled towards him.
Redness slowly crept up her cheeks as his warmth and scent engulfed her. She closed her eyes for a brief moment as he scolded her. "
"You fuckin' brain dead!?" He growled, bringing his lips close to her ear, "You should know what those words do!"
Mia shivered, groaning, she pushed her bottom back roughly to push him off of her, she turned to him, opening her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by a loud demonic screech. So which both of them went, "Shit."
Quickly equipping her chainsaw, Mia took a sloppy battle stance, causing Ash to roll his eyes, figuring he may as well just use her as bait.
"It's amazing how you've made it this far, princess. " he said, shoving his fake hand into his trusted chainsaw.
"I'm not becoming demon food today!" She stated firmly, looking around for the source of the demonic sound.
Suddenly, a dark, winged figure with a deformed body and wide mouth, jumped down from a tall pile of rubble, aiming for Ash. Ash took a few steps back, watching as it plopped face first into the ground, breaking its neck. Mia let out a small bout of laughter. Ash turned to smile at her, but only briefly, as the demon stood, the spine protruding from it's neck.
Both of the survivors making a disgusted face, Mia more than Ash.
As the deadite stumbled towards him, Ash took out his shot gun, shooting it in the head, which split to pieces and tumbled away. "Impressive." Mia stated, looking at the body.
"I'm always impressive, baby." He stated, shrugging as he turned, and walked past her. She almost turned to follow, but noticed the pieces of head flesh moving, and forming into the same monster, but in multiples.
"A-Ash!" Mia stuttered, causing him to look I've this shoulder.
Ash shook his head, "Seems it's spawned a new breed of bitch."
Seven demons, that began screeching all at once, raced towards them— They both started up their chainsaws at once.
Mia swiftly high-kicked one in the face, swiping it down to step on it, Ash cutting off it's head as Mia kicked another, cutting off its head. Ash's chainsaw found another as it attempted to attack Mia from behind, the sudden blood pour caused Mia to scream, forcing her forward, her chainsaw finding the midsection of another deadite, she spun slightly, both of them attacking the same beast.
But Mia was tackled to the ground by one attempting to bite her face. She gave a disturbed look, fighting it off as it began to laugh. Ash sliced off the head of the last lone one, turning to see Mia struggling to fight off the final one. He was about to step in, but she forced her arm out from under it, and slashed its head clean off.
Pushing the corpse away from herself, Ash walked over, turning off his chainsaw and taking it off, he loomed over her, "Nice job, princess."
"Shut up." She groaned, slowly getting up, she rapidly shook her head, hoping to get some blood off.
He patted her back as she turned off and removed her chainsaw, "We all recite passages to the Book of Death, sometimes we say them improperly."
"What do you mean by that?" Mia asked, raising her eyebrows, beginning to walk away with him.
"It's a funny story, actually… One that turns out, wasn't so cool…" Ash began to tell the tale of how he raised an entire army of the undead… But behind them, a deadite's body began to twitch, thirsty for revenge.
