When you know you are in danger but still know you can stop it, but you have a feeling you might fail, you feel weary and defeated.
Nick felt that but knew there is no turning back.
As he came out of the portal with his mom and sister, he found those panthers surrounding him again, but this time, they were about fifty of them.
"Run!" He shouted to his mother and sister, "Run! I will protect you!"
"Bye, Nick! Stay strong!" His mother said, ushering Chloe through a crooked passageway.
"Bye, Nick!" Chloe whispered admist sobs.
"Don't worry, sis, I shall figh
Nick felt determined as the wind whistled into his ears.He was at maximum speed, recovering the pearl from his pant's pocket, he held it high, shouting with a thunderous voice— "My Family!"The pearl turned into a golden-blue spear, which sparked with energy of white magic.He stabbed some demons with the spear, giving them some kicks he learned in karaté class.The spear was so powerful that immediately it touched a demon, the demon sizzled in smoke and dust.A demon ran, carrying a sword, he looked like the second in command, because he was the largest among the group."Do you think you fight demons with human tactics? Kicks, blows... Nonsense! I'm going to show you how it is done using your idiotic friend, Edrek," The demon spoke laughing."The way we fight here kills not only flesh, but your spirit— either good or evil... " He added
"No!" Nick shouted as Edrek gave up."No? The deed has already been done, at least, you've got no friend running to get you," Edrek spoke, sarcastically."You are a jerk! I hate you!" Nick screamed as he lowered down to the ground, tears rolling down his cheeks."Who even thinks of loving a demon, human?" Mario asked, scoffing."You bastard! I'll make sure I destroy you!""But you can't do that without powers." Mario deadpanned."I have got the pearl..." Nick faltered."Oh, no! You just gave me the pearl if you haven't noticed..." Mario said in a sing-song manner."No way!" Nick roared."Hmm... I see." Mario laughed, turning the spear back into the pearl.Mario turned back to the other demons and angels in battle, "There is no need for war again, because I already have what I need, but, if you guys wanna have some fun... You can continue." Mario said, turning on his
With the humanoid gone, Nick and his troop moved on, heading to the direction of the beam. Their troop got in contact with the others and they all agreed to meet there. They got closer and closer until they reached a place which looked like a cascade of hot boiling lava. But, it wasn't lava, it was blood! What the...? "Help!" Nick heard his mom. He looked down and saw his mom and sister on a floating piece of rock. "Mom!" Nick shouted as he tried flying down but the heat sent him floating up where he met Tereq and his troop. The heat was intense and took controlled over their wings. "No!" Nick cried. "What's happening, Tereq?" Erik asked, looking up at them. "I don't know. The heat is intense. We all tried flying down to get them but ended up getting stuck in the air."
"Now that everyone is safe, we need to go shatter Mario's plan, while the others look for Mr. Phillips." Erik announced when he had brought all angels down."Master, I can assign the others to look for him, while the rest of the army follows you," Mick, who was a warrior, spoke."Yes, do that while we go. There is no time to waste," Erik paused, counting out twenty angels, "You should take them with you, while I need eleven hundred warriors to plan a surprise attack.""That's very thoughtful. I would do as you say, Master," Mick said, taking a bow and signalling for the others to follow as they invoked on their journey."Nick, your father would be safe. Let's go, troop!" Erik shouted to the others as they all marched back to the battle ground.When they reached the battle ground, they all stopped to listen the Erik's orders."Twenty of you should stay behind to stay with N
"Hey dad! Where'ya goin'?" Nick asked his neatly dressed father who was about to leave the house."Um... I need to go get something in t-the..... um..... in the...""Oh dad please where are you going?" pleaded Nick."Okay! Fine! I'm going to get a surprise for all of you ready." His dad gave up."What surprise?! Pls dad tell me!" Nick pleaded."When I'm back, you'll know, but for now, go wake your sleepy head mom.""Okay dad but that's going to take me forever! You know, to wake my mom is one thing that you may never accomplish," Nick complained. "Sorry, but I've gotta go, see you later!" his dad— Mr. Phillips— said with a wave and disappeared into thin air."Wait... Ugh! It's no use. Now back to my forever business. Hmph!"Nick sighed as he went up the stairs grumbling.When he reached his mom's room door, he tried
"Dad, I've got a question to ask you, a question I supposed to have asked you earlier like yesterday," Nick told his father as they were loading their stuff and luggage into the car."What question son?" Mr Phillip queried."Where are we moving to?""Uh oh! Sorry, didn't announce that earlier, we are actually moving to New York City," his dad answered."Wow! But dad, yesterday, did you actually travel to New York to get things ready?" Nick asked confused."Oh Nick, don't be silly, how can I go to New York City in a day and come back all the way here that same day?" His dad paused to shut close the trunk of the car, "I actually saw the house when I went for my business trip last week, I liked the house and it looked so beautiful and slightly spooky in a gorgeous manner because of the paint and cobwebs 'cos the house has been vacant for a long while now... I guess, " he stopped once again to
After several hours, they reached the central airport of New York City. The plane landed on the runway and created channels for the passengers to alight. Nick and his family after an hour and half were now on their way-with their luggage-to their new house.*****************"Wow!!!"Nick said as he took a look around his new house, "This is so so amazing, extremely amazi-" Nick was cut short as he felt a very hot wind wash over him which made him twitch a little. "Son, what's wrong? Are you okay? " His mother asked with a confused look on her face. "Um...... It's just nothing, just that I um.... felt a very hot wind wash over me" "That sounds like a sign of a secret fever which can just pop up any moment. I think we should get some medications for you after we are done setting every thing up", his dad said really concerned. But anyway, they still continued setting everything up and after that long day.......... they were completely exhausted. **
Nick awoke, startled. He looked around and noticed he was on the floor. Then all the things that happened earlier started to flash back in his mind; the unknown pearl, the blood writing on his bedcover, the mirror, the dead body filled musty place, another blood writing on the mirror, then everything turned blank-no black!!! Extremely black!!! - "Oh crap! I zoned out like a sissy, a girl, a baby!!! What the heck happened here? Why did I fall into a trance?! " Nick asked no one in particular, totally confused. He looked around, his inspection was cut short when his eyes fell on his safe, on it lay to his horror, blood, splattered all over it and a rotten skull on the top of it! 'No! This is a lie! ' Nick rubbed at his eyes, the horrific splatter of blood and the skull still remained there, then it began to rattle, to shake, to vibrate, to float, to crack, to open, to-."Hey son! What's up? We heard you screaming a whi

"I'm ready for war, Mario, it's no more play time."Nick was fuming as he said those words.He looked at Mario who was still crouched down on the floor."Are you ready?" Nick asked him."Darn, ask me that again," Mario replied without interest.Nick was angry and stamped on Mario, but to his surprise, his feet went through Mario's body and he felt a cold hand on his neck strangling him.Mario disappeared from the floor and as Nick turned back, he noticed that it was Mario strangling him."Now, let me reverse the question: 'Are you ready? '" Mario spoke, his deep voice sending a buzz over Nick.Shit! Reversion of fate again. "Let go of me!" Nick shouted as Mario's grip tightened."You wanted war, so it has started." Mario said, chuckling.
He saw a glowing set of dark eyes appear, then greyish-red skin. "Lepi Flixus, dravu... Loptica tu fukoos beokona leli." The vampire said, in its unknown language. "It means: 'I'm Flixus, you see... I'm hungry for flesh right now.'" Edrek translated for Nick. With a loud wail, Nick found himself on the floor, the vampire feeding on his flesh. He screamed, as its fangs dug into his neck. The pearl, which was his only hope fell off, rolling to the feet of the Duke of Hell, who picked it up, and left. *****No! "Fancy thinking you could keep this forever,"Mario scoffed, shaking his head as he walked awa
Nick was stuck in between the chains and the skeletal creature with no way to escape. He pulled and pulled to no avail. Oh, shit! The skeletal creature emerged, fiery eyes glowing with lust of flesh. "I need a body; I shall take you!" It said sinisterly, descending its sharp claws on Nick. Lower and lower it came until it was right on his face. It gnarled with satisfaction as it was about to dig its claws into Nick's flesh. Nick trembled, fear took away his voice to scream. Even if he screams, is there anyone in hel
Nick felt a combination of different feelings building up inside him; anger, hatred, helplessness, sadness, and a whole lot more.He was completely pulled out of the chair with the fact that Mario could go this far by hurting his family -- but what would you expect from a demon; a Duke of Hell?He looked at Mario with hatred burning in his eyes and his blood boiling inside of him."How. Dare. You?!"Nick shouted so angrily with a very loud voice he never knew he could use.He ran over to his parents and sister and tried loosening the bonds around them but to no avail.The bonds were enchanted. It gave him a wild jerking zap of electricity which made him stumble back."You know, you could have just told me to loosen the bond." Mario said coolly, striding towards Nick as though nothing happened."How dare you?!" Nick repeated, venom laced in his voice.
