THE GHOST RIDER'S PROTÉGÉ 6
The four scoured to the rest of the church till 12:00 am.
They were ready for the third one. The third man walked in, nothing weird or scary about him, just a casual guy walking into the church. Rowan and the others were hiding behind the corner looking somewhat confused.
"this is the 3rd guy? He's so normal looking"
"look's can be deceiving"
"I'm getting bored!" said Nara, switching as she walked towards the third man. Something gave her an itch. Who or what was this man? Nara stopped dead in her tracks.
"uh, hi… you're hot"
"thanks, but what are you?"
"you'll find out soon enough" the man started to twitch and contort. His hair fell off and was replaced by fur. His muscles rippled even bigger. This man was a dog, a really big dog.
"you're a lycan?"
The man didn't respond. He ran at Nara who flew out of his path. Nara didn't want to play anymore. In a split second his soul was sucked out. Nara quickly inscribed 6 than swallowed the soul and the beast's soul from before. The linchon changed to human, walkout, than splash. He jumped into a river and drowned.
Rowan, John, even Slate looked surprised.
"what? I'm not a dog person" Rowan just had to laugh, the other two just smirked.
"alright 1 more to go, now what?"
"uh, look around some more?"
"nah, we've done that for three hours."
For the rest of the 56 minutes they just sat around telling stories until it was 1 a.m. no one came.
Rowan got a little annoyed, "where are they?" she raised her voice a little higher, "C'mon out! I'm so bored!"
Slate just looked at her with a raised eye-brow. Nara and John looked frazzled.
"what? What else do I say? I can't think of any cool puns! Don't blame m-"
The doors swung open fast with nothing pushing them. And the devil walked in with a cynical face.
"hello rowan, others. Shinigami."
"you're the one we have to fight?"
"oh, goodness no. I actually killed him for you. No, I'm here for," slowly pointing at Nara, "her"
"why do you want me?"
"I want you to work for me, don't worry I'll pay you"
"why would I ever work for you?"
"why not? Good pay, life extension. What more could you ask for?"
"I only kill really old people, and recently I just killed and got 20 years added on, I'm still good. I don't kill anyone unless they're a bad condition."
"you sure?"
"I'm sure, nothing you can say or do will change it"
"alright it seems like you made your decision", he pulled out a black soul and flung at Nara to failed to dodge it. It touched her and grew into that beast that only smiled at Rowan. "unfortunately, that was a bad choice. All of you, kill her. Or I'll do it myself."
"what did you do? We're not gonna kill her."
"why? It's not her" a white soul came out of the beasts soul and it fluttered towards Satin. "this is her. To bring her back you'll need to find her a body to inhabit it. If you don't her soul with die, it can't live with out a body or a soul catcher."
Horrified, rowan charges over to the beast. Her chain is whipped out and misses the beast, instead it wraps around the devil.
"give me that soul, now" she said flaming allover.
Satin almost struggles to breath, "*gasp* why? Do you know what you're doing? You're threatening the devil. How come? In any moment now I could easily kill you."
She pulls tighter, the guys weren't even thinking on helping. Satin grunts and moans hard, as if in pain.
His eyed glow bright red, "you will be sorry for what you did" he starts to pull the chain off and flicks both of his arms trying to do something to Rowan but she doesn't react.
Looking confused the devil glows even harder, "w-why cant I kill you?"
Rowan shrugged and said, "give me her soul, now. Or else"
With no other option he passed it to Rowan, who then put it in her soul catcher.
"thank you, good bye."
The 3 left. Rowan, feeling more confident. John, weirded out. Slate, is thinking 'what the hell just happened?'. they left the devil behind and drove home.
Slate separated down the road, leaving John and Rowan. They got home to find, once again, Roxanne freaking out.
"hey, mom"
"what happened tonight Row?"
"so, uh, cute story, um… so turns out that the devil doesn't have power over. And can't kill me. And here's the best part, I can actually hurt him back"
"what? H-hunny-"
"I know right?"
"you're a freak! John, anything you want to say to this?"
"I don't know what I have to say… Row, maybe this is the shinigami side of you."
"that can't be. Is it even possible? I'm taking my mom's side on this; I truly am a freak. Is there any nut-houses near here?"
"oh, ha ha. We need to find a body for Nara's soul, maybe you can swap out with a guilty soul"
"good idea, tomorrow?"
"uh, huh. Sounds good?"
"totally"
