Chapter one

Had I remembered what was to happen that day…the day I died. My name is Catrina; call me Trina, for short. I had just woken up to what I figured was going to be a regular day… so I thought. I’m 18 years old, so I really don’t have that much of a job. I graduated college at a very early age. 16 I believe. I work at Blood Oath Diner with my friend, Tessa. She’s 17 and like me, has gone through with college. Our manager is a bit of a strange one, but I had gotten use to him and now we are great friends. His name is William. He is 20 years of age and he’s very tall. He has a small beard and mustache. Sometimes he resembles that of a wolf so Tessa and I would call him Wolfy from time to time. Tessa has a bit of a crush on William. She tells me that she would want to go out with him some day. We’d always have that argument. It would go like— “If you like him so much, why don’t you just ask him out? Does he know you like him?” “No he doesn’t and I’ll ask him when I think I’m ready.”

I was late to work as usual… but today, was an awkward reason. I normally go through the road in front of my house and go past Tessa’s to pick her up, but today something held me back from going that way. I didn’t know what did but…it was convincing. I was walking the other way through my back yard into an alley way. Now, I know this town like the back of my hand… but I have never been through this alley way before. It was too quiet. I was alone and for me it was unsettling. The silence had ended when I heard low growling and gnarring behind me.  I quickly turned to find a dog-like beast standing before me. It had brownish black fur and had a horn on its snout and spikes running down its back. It was bound to leap at any second.

“What in the hell?!” It started to tumble toward me like a rhino. It leaped through the air and straight toward me. I put my hands up in front of me and turned away to close my eyes. The next thing I felt, was the tip of my fingers, scorching from a fire and the ringing in my ears from the beast’s screaming. I opened my eyes. My fingers were black and smelt like charcoal. The creature was sprawled out on the tar, its flesh was melting and its jaw lay open. The eyes stare at me, cold and motionless. I looked behind me. The diner was only a couple more yards away. I hauled ass, and got there as fast as I could. I burst through the doors, catching my breath from all that running. I looked up and noticed everyone was looking at me. I hurried to the back of the kitchen as fast as I could without embarrassing myself any further than I already had. “Catrina, what the fuck happened? You’re later than normal.” He caught sight of my fingers. “Oh my god what happened?” “I-I can’t explain what happened but all I know is that I was attacked.” “Are you alright?” “I’m fine. But I don’t know what the hell just happened.” I started to explain to him what had happened. The feelings, the monster, and the alley appearing out of nowhere. This had started to scare William. He looked at me as if he knew what was going on, and didn’t like it. Ether that or he looked at me like I was crazy. “Catrina, listen to me,” he grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me toward the door. “I want you to head home and lock your doors. I’ll meet up when I get off work.” “All right.” I ran out of the door and took a taxi home. He looked at me funny. I shrunk back into the seat until we got to my stop. I paid the fair then I ran inside and locked the door behind me. I also locked every other door like William told me to. I pulled out a couple of the guns I had in my closet and armed myself with the Beretta. I only waited an hour before I heard glass shattering from upstairs. I armed my gun and ran up. I looked to the side and another one of those doggish monsters had broken in my home. I shot it a couple of times and it scampered away and jumped out my window. Few hours later, William was knocking at my door. “I got here as fast as I could, you alright?” “Yeah. Another one of those creatures had broken in through my window upstairs. I shot it a couple of times and in ran off.” “Alright, I’m going to stay here with you tonight alright?” “What about Tessa, is she staying?” “No she promised her older brother that she’d drive him to the System of a Down concert tonight. She says she’s sorry and will get here as fast as she can when the concert is done.” “Alright. Well if you’re staying, I might as well go change the guest bed upstairs in my room.” “Okay.”

Well that's all I could jott down tonight. I'll post more of it tomorrow.

9/26

I went to my room to set up the guest bed. I heard Will turn on the T.V. downstairs. I couldn’t make out exactly what it said but it went like… “…many were eaten alive…some wounded…didn’t make it…” I turned on the T.V. and switched to the news. “Some of the bodies looked as if they were ripped apart by some animal. Some survived but, had ether gone crazy…or some vegetables. Three girls were murdered, all 17. Here are the photos; police hope that the girls can be identified.” That’s when they showed a picture of Tessa. Her face was clawed up and her body was mauled. Her eyes were open and still the hazel that I use to see everyday. William was at the doorway. He looked at me with sympathy.

He sat next to me on the bed and I cried over his shoulder.

“If anyone can make any identification please contact police. Now we move you over to Steven. Steve?” “Thanks Anne. I’m here at a crime scene today; police have found yet another body next to the motel. This one has suffered a much stranger death. CSI had figured out that he has suffered spontaneous combustion, burn marks lacerate down so he was attacked from above.”

“Hey…that looks like, the thing that attacked me…”

“I can see it too. To others that thing looks human.” We heard crashing from downstairs. I rushed to my closet and pulled out another shot gun and threw it to William. “I hope you have a permit for these things.” “I do, they're for self defense, and I occasionally do a little hunting.” “Damn. Bit more hard core than I remembered.” “Well you haven’t been around me a lot to know.”

We rushed downstairs and went into the living room. The window broke open and 2 bodies thumped to the ground next to the couch.  I started to hear something…chewing. I ran over and saw someone…or something, eating the body.

“Catrina move!!!” I stood out of the way and he shot it. 3 shots were able to take him out. “Shit they got here too! William what are you looking at?

Chapter two

“William what are you—“ Then I realized that he was staring at my wall…well, into it. A void was growing in it.“What the fuck is that?!” “I don’t know but we gotta get the hell outa here!” He didn't have the chance. The void was growing and it was sucking everything in. I grabbed on to my support beam and took hold of William’s hand. He slipped and fell in. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!” I was beginning to lose my grip on the beam. “William…I’m sorry…” I lost my grip and was flung into the portal. What was going to happen when I got to the other en? I saw so many horrible things on my way through the portal. I saw where I was going and I didn’t wish to get there. I saw a bright light and the next thing I knew I was laying on the ground; I was wounded and my leg was broken. I heard the sound of hoof beats and I looked up. An army of demons, looking of Death himself, were riding up toward me, swords in the air and shouting the most foul of things. I inched away in hopes of hiding, but all that was around me was a vast wasteland. It only was seconds before I was surrounded by ghoulish creatures. One of them reached to me until they heard someone yelling “Get away from her!!” “William?” All the of the creature’s attentions turned to the silhouette in the horizon. One of the demons, which seemed to be the captain, turned around and rode toward it. “Get him!” All of them shouted and followed. The shadow was fighting off everything without any hassle at all. He was fighting off one demon when another one got up and was about to swing its sword down. “No!” I drew my gun and fired. I hit it right in the head. As it fell the figure walked toward me. Soon after I blacked out.

I awoke sometime later. I got up to find myself inside a small hut. There were candles lit and the same figure that was battling out in the wastelands was tending to the fire.

“Who are you?” He stood there and looked at me. He had brown, shoulder length hair like mine, and his eyes, crystal blue. “Where the hell did you bring me?” “Damn, I save your ass and I don’t get a ‘thank you?’” I stared at him, who is he? He got up and I was able to see his body a little better. He was tall, he wore old English clothes that made him look like a vampire and covering them, was a long black leather trench coat. “Who are you?” “Call me Brimm. I’m a demon hunter, and lucky for you, I heard about a scout army coming out here. Had I not come along you would’ve died.” I got up and the blanket had fallen, showing a little more than expected. “Did…did you undress me?” “I had to get to the wounds somehow. Your clothes are next to the bed.” They were on the floor neatly folded. I tried to get up but I remembered that my leg had broken from the fall. “I wouldn’t suggest getting up on that leg for a while. Need some help getting dressed?” “Don’t even think about it. Already bad enough you saw me when I was unconscious. God knows what you did when I was knocked out!” “I didn’t do anything…but seeing you makes me regret.” I stumbled getting up. I wrapped the blanket around me and picked up my clothes. I headed to the back room to get dressed. Kind of hard to put on jeans with a broken leg. I managed to pull them on with little pain and put on my shirt and vest. I limped out and headed to the door.

I felt his hand grab my shoulder.

“I wouldn’t risk going out there, less you risk getting attacked.” “I can handle myself.” I went for my waist but then I remembered… “Where are my guns??” “I put them in my room.” I walked to the other entrance that I hadn’t already and grabbed my guns off his bed. I limped back out and headed for the door, arming my Beretta. “You know, for a girl your kinda brave.” “Hey buddy, I’m a woman, and I’m not gonna just sit here while William could be out there, possibly hurt as well.” “Wait, William? As in William Ron Elliott right? Why, I haven’t seen that bastard in years!” He got up and reached for his coat. “Well I better go with you. Don’t want to see that pretty face marked up, do we?” “Don’t push it pal.”

He helped me out the door and I pulled away from him. I saw birds flocking from the forest.

“Think we should check there?” “Yeah…” We walked there when I started to feel my leg get a little lighter. “Wait, I wanna try somethin’ with my leg…” I hopped away from him then sat on the ground. I twisted my leg a bit, then grabbed it and cracked it back in 3 places. I moved my ankle and I felt no more pain. “That’s better.” I got up and walked again. Brimm followed.

We started to walk through a town that had been in ruins. Brimm had tried multiple times to grab my hand while we were here.

“What is your problem??” “I just don’t want you to get scared and run off.” “You know, you’re a total ass!” “So I’ve been told.” “By who, every girl that had rejected you?” “Oh ho, harsh.” “Why you mother—“ We turned our heads to the forest, a gun had been fired. “That’s probably William.” Brimm ran to the forest and I tried to catch up but something pulled my leg. “Stupid tree roots.” I tugged my pants out of the ground and continued on. I lost Brimm and had only waited minutes before I heard another gunshot. I followed it and came to a clear opening. It was William, Brimm was there, too.

The both of them were fighting to the death.

“What the hell? Stop it!” The both of them turned toward me. William was obviously happy to see me and tackled me to the ground. “Glad to see you, too.” “I thought you died!” “She was about to. I found her out in the wastelands surrounded by demon scouts. Had I not come along to investigate, she would’ve been dead.” “I’m just glad you’re alright.” “We should all get to my place for the night. The demons come out around this time.”

Chapter Three

We got there and boy did I need a bath,

“Hey Brimm do you have a bath or anything?” “No, I go to the lake out back. I have soap and some towels hanging on the trees.” He led me to a small lake beautiful lake a couple yards from his house. It had a small waterfall, trickling down stones that surrounded the lake. “Hmm, not bad.” “Glad you think so. The things you need are right on the tree next to the stone on the right.” It was a small oak. Its trunk twisted. I saw a small tray on 2 thick, sturdy branches, carrying 2 towels and a small bar of soap. I got undressed behind the rocks and snuck in. For those who fantasize, it’s not your fault, you were born pervs. I digress.

I got in and waded in the water. Its cool mist was just what I needed after what had happened today. The image of Tessa’s dead body was still in my head. I was broken out of my trance when I heard a huge splash.

“What the fuck?!” “Heh heh, sorry about that!” Brimm jumped in the pool. Thank god that there was a fog tonight. “What are you doing??” “Thought I’d give you some company.” “Get out of here!” He started to swim toward me and pulled me down. “Fuck off!” I jumped out of the water and grabbed a towel and my clothes and ran back inside. I could hear him laughing his ass off.

“Hey what happened?”

“Oh nothing except um…he tried to rape me!” William was laughing and I smirked. Brimm came back in. “Sorry about that.” “Don’t even.” I went to the back room and got dressed. He came in drying off his head with the towel… “Hey hey hey occupied!!!” “Well this is my house I can come in here if I wish.” He sat down and started to get dressed. At least I had my clothes on when he came in. I ran out, scared for life after what I saw. “Lemme guess…” “Don’t even guess.” I grabbed my towel and dried off the rest of my hair. “Well, my dear, when I saw you running back you looked quite lovely.” “Wait, you saw me??” “Indeed. Both your inner and outer beauty is unquestionably phenomenal.” “You are such a pervert!” I walked back outside and leaned against the entrance. Will followed me and he couldn’t wipe that stupid smile of his face. “My dear?” “He’s interested in me.” “Well I can see that. Trying to seduce you huh?” “Yeah and he’s doing a horrible job. I mean the guy’s cute and all but he just freaks me the fuck out.” “Yeah but he favors you the most that I have ever seen him to a woman.” “He’s either in love with me or he wants his virginity to end quickly.” We started to laugh out loud. I was falling over. William grabbed my hand and I took him down with me. We stared at each other for a couple of seconds and stumbled to get back up. We were still kinda giggling. “How dare you!” Brimm came bursting through his door and gave William a dead arm. “Ow! What the hell?!” “How dare you try to take her from me?” “I don’t even know what you’re fucking talking about!!” That was when Brimm jumped Will and they broke out into a fight. I had to split them up and got my arms cut in the process. “Alright you two! Jesus, 8 year olds act more mature than you.” “But my darling—“ “I’m not your darling, I’m not your love, and I’m not your ANYTHING! So please, just…stop, just stop.” Brimm sulked and leaned against the wall. I walked up to him and touched his shoulder. “Please understand, I would love to be your friend, but your persistence is… well I can’t really explain but—“ “What the hell is that?!” William was facing the woods. Something was sprouting from the shadows. “Catrina, get inside. William and I will handle it.” “No I’m fighting, too. I’m not just some conceded little girl alright?” I grabbed my shotgun and a dagger and ran toward what was coming out of the bushes. As soon as I was near for a strike, I realized it was already wounded. It looked like a wolf but its hind legs looks like it could be a man.

I picked him up but he passed out. Brimm and William ran up to me.

“We gotta help him out. C’mon help me bring him inside.” We picked him…or it…up by the legs and arms. William supported his head. I lied him down on the floor next to the fire and covered him with some blankets. After an hour or so, he started to regain conceousness. “W-where am I?” “You’re wounded; I wouldn’t suggest moving too much.” I got him a warm cloth. “What are you anyway?” “I’m a demon.” “Thought so, after all you do have the face of a wolf.” “Well if you figured me to be a demon, why do still care for me?” “Something about you I guess. What’s your name?” “You may call me Max.” William came through the door with something cooked up. “Here I thought you might be hungry.” “Thank you. I do not know how I can pay you back.” “There’s no need. William, can you tend to him really quick?” “Sure.” William sat next to him and started a conversation. I headed to the back room to talk to Brimm. He was sitting on his bed removing some old bandages from his arm.

“When you get those?”

“I had them for some time now. I had them for 12 years, last since I’ve seen William. We were facing a demon that has tormented a village for centuries. When I went for the final strike, he brushed me and William aside and headed for Sheila. A short time had I loved her; I went to behead the beast when it grazed me with its fangs. The wounded has never healed since.” “Sorry for your loss.” He grunted in pain when he was wrapping new bandages around the gash. “Here let me help.” “I thank you. So explain to me, how did you and William meet?” “I worked for him at a diner in my home town. He freaked me out a little in the beginning but we became good friends after the first week. I’m known to gain trust quickly, well except from my 8th grade teachers.” “Well you certainly have my trust.” “Hmm, thanks. Almost done, there you go.” I held up his arm as I attached the bandage together. I was going to get up but he grabbed my hand. “Please, don’t leave. I wish to know more about you.” “Okay, but there’s nothing much of me to talk about.” “No way, a woman like you? There must be stories to tell.” “Don’t flatter me. You can ask William about me. He knows more about me than I do.” “I don’t believe that. Please tell me about you.” I sat back down next to him and held his hand. “Why don’t we talk more about you? I’ve only known you for a day. I’ll talk about myself after you.” We sat there for some time, talking about each other. Most of the things we said I cannot remember, all I know is I somehow began forming some sort of love for him. Though I do think most of the things he said about himself were a bit exaggerated, but what hasn’t been since I got here? “Well I’m tired. I’m gonna go wash up then head to bed.” He held his arm and looked down, seemed to be thinking. I leaned in and kissed him slightly then got up and ran out the door. As I was getting up I noticed that Brimm…was smiling.

Chapter four

I finished up my bath that I finally had to myself and got ready for bed. I checked up on Max and saw he was healing quickly. “I see you are doing well Max?” “Yes I am and I still wish to pay you back on all you have done for me.” “Like I said there is no need. What were you and William talking about earlier?” “We were talking about him.” William was leaning in the doorway. “He’s from a rebellion. They were camping when they were attacked. He was wounded when he awoke and he saw what happened and tried to get away before any demons came back.” “Rebellion, what rebellion?” “Against ruler of the underworld, Corgis. He ambushed us several times, but never has he found one of our hidden camps till now. I know that some of the refugees are still out there.” “You need rest. If we can, we’ll help you find them.”

That’s when something had attacked us. The house started rumbling and the windows broke. Brimm headed out his room armed with a shotgun.

“Grab everything you need, we’ve been ambushed.” I headed for my Beretta and then remembered, “Wait, Max needs a weapon!” “He can have my gun.” William threw Max the shotgun and grabbed a couple of twin pistols. Brimm held the door open. “Come on let’s go!!” I helped Max to his feet and grabbed two bags filled with weapons and food. We ran out together. The house was struck with a cannon ball. I looked ahead and saw about ten demons in front of us. One of them was operating the cannon. “Let me fight, I can handle myself.” Max tore away from me and started to run, and went to all fours, his gun strapped to his back. I ran forward as well. William and Brimm soon followed and our battle began. We were in such a battle. So many demons came toward us. William was shooting few zombies in front of him when a demon on a horse came behind and was ready to strike. I shot it in the head and backed up…then I was stabbed.

I could see a sword penetrating my chest. I heard an evil laugh behind me. The wound started to burn and the laughing became tormented screaming. The sword pulled out of me and I fell to the ground. The screaming still ringing in my ears. I looked behind me to see the demon and its horse was set on fire. I closed my eyes as everything turned silent. The only thing I heard was my heart beating, and the sound of their voices calling my name. Then I heard Tessa…
