Max breathed heavily and held his pistol at the ready, taking one slow step at a time toward the upper floor. The claws of a demon scraped the walls above with a harsh sound that sent shivers down his spine, and he gripped his weapon tightly. Near the top, he paused to see if anything would jump out.

Astaroth sighed. Go on, already. Sheesh.

The young priest shook his head. One thing I have learned is that anything is possible with these bastards. I know they get their rocks off by jumping out at me. Max listened for a moment, but he heard nothing. They must have gone into one of the rooms.

As he took another tentative step, a demon landed in front of him, hissing loudly. Max yelped and slammed his fist into its throat. The beast’s eyes grew wide with surprise, and it grabbed its neck and stumbled back. Max squeezed his trigger three times, shattering the ugly face.

Astaroth chuckled. Whoa, whoa, I think you got him. He won’t smell anything for a long time.

The creature turned to dust, and Max stomped up the rest of the steps. I told you. They like to jump out unexpectedly.

His demon scoffed. You’ll be fine, especially if you keep throat-punching the bitches like that.

The trainee shook his head as he turned the corner and came face to face with a tall, redheaded woman with bright red eyes. He swallowed, lowered his gun, and held the bible open. The woman snarled, and her head jerked spasmodically as she walked toward him. He found one of the prayers and chanted as calmly as he could while she screamed loudly, the sound echoing down the hall.

Her claws morphed into human hands, and she grabbed her throat and thrashed violently. Her eyes went soft, and she looked at Max, one hand outstretched in a helpless gesture. “Please, stop. The demon is gone. Please, it hurts so much.”

Max paused, but Astaroth gave him a jolt. She’s playing you. Keep going.

He nodded and continued. The woman’s face twisted with rage, and she shrieked and lunged at him. He sidestepped instinctively, and her body convulsed before it dropped to the floor. A demon floated free and hovered for a few moments as it writhed and screeched until finally, it erupted.

Max’s shoulders relaxed, and he knelt beside the woman and made the sign of the cross. Her red eyes were blue pools of silent gratitude before she passed out. She’ll be all right.

Astaroth sniffed the air. She’s the only one up here. Head back down to where the bulk of them are. You got this.
