~Chapter V: Cheating Death~
Bookshelves fell over all around the room. Loud bangs echoed from the wooden door that protected us from whatever that was on the other side. The four of us stood speechless not knowing what was going on. The banging began to grow louder. I didn't know how much the wooden door would last.
"Great! Who the hell is banging on my door?" Anna's voice wasn't shaky and uneven like I would have expected it to be. I knew if I would have spoken, I would have sounded the opposite of her. She seemed more angry then afraid. The three of us watched as Anna moved closer to the door.
The door quickly flew open and what stood there was a man. Anna paniced and backed up with a scowl still on her face. The guy was wearing a jet black pinstripe suit with black shiny dress shoes. He had dark hair that reached his shoulders and covered most of his pale white face. His eyes were completely black and blood stained his clothes and jaw.
Anna backed up until she was just about a foot in front of me. Chris stood behind me while Ami stood by my side speechless.
"There you are kid!" The demon man stood in front of the door. He had his eyes glued to me with a deep smile on him face. His needle-like teeth were covered in fresh blood.
"What do you want?" Ami shouted towards him.
"Master Damien sent me. I'm only here to collect your dear friend's soul." He laughed. Anna's face was full of disgust. "Its only the right thing to do for killing my old friend Marie. And while I'm here I think I'll take your friends as well."
"That bitch Marie deserved to die!" Chris shouted. He gestured his fists to hide his fear. Anna walked closer to the door and stopped just inches away from the demon. He stopped smiling and stared into her eyes.
"And what the fuck are you going to do little girl?" He said.
"No matter how hard you try you will not enter my home. So why don't you go tell Damien that his work here is done and he can fuck off." Anna crossed her arms for a more dramatic effect as the three of us watched.
"Anna what are you doing?" I asked, worrying about her safety and sanity.
"You see the writings on the wall?" She whispered. "Its a protection spell. He cannot enter even if he wanted to." I looked around the room to examine the writings. Then I looked at the demon guy standing outside of the door. His eyes watched me as I turned to look at Anna.
"Even if the spell does protect us, we cannot stay in here forever." I said. Anna's expression changed. She stared at me for a tried moment, thinking of a plan. Possibly one to save us from that demon scum.
Ami took a few steps forward, eyeing the demon, as she joined our conversation.
"But if we go out there that thing will kill us!" Ami whispered loudly. Anna slowly walked over to the bed and sat down.
"If he wants you then let him have you. Its as easy as that." Anna jumped back up and walked over towards me. Ami and Chris gave her a look of disgust.
"What?" Me, Chris and Ami shouted in unison. My ears could not register what they were hearing.
"The ring." Anna said. She stopped just inches away from me and wrapped her arms around me. Hugging me tightly, she moved her mouth close to my ear and started whispering.
"Take off the Ring and kill him." It took me a while to understand what she was planing. Slowly she released me from her grip. I looked down at the Ring and back at the door. The demon man wasn't there anymore.
"Where did he go?" I asked. Eventhough he wasn't there anymore, it still didn't feel safe.
"He's still here." Anna replied.
