She reached back with her hand. She was suddenly propelled back with incredible force. She crashed onto the hard floor. If her body had been human, it’d have been broken. She rolled over. She felt something hard tightening around her neck, like a thick rubber hose. Her neck burned, as though the mortal flesh was on fire. Her body lifted off the ground. She twisted her M suit, trying to break free. But the hold was too strong. She looked down and got a glimpse at her attacker.

A shadow demon, three times larger than the ones she saw in Mrs. Wilkins’s apartment, glistened in the moonlight. It had her wrapped one of its tentacles around the neck. She could smell the foul stench of blood and rotten flesh. The demon let out a loud shriek that sounded almost like a laugh.

“Let her go, demon!” David ran towards her, his sword shimmering in the moon light. He leaped into the air behind her. Kara heard a swish and then felt a release. She hit the ground hard. She rolled over and tugged at her throat. She pulled off the foul tentacle. She scrambled to her feet and watched as the demon flickered and its solid form disappeared into a black mist.

“Stay behind me!” yelled David, as he ran towards the demon. Kara stared in horror as he threw himself into the black fog, arms flailing as he struck at the creature. “I—HATE—DEMONS!” he panted. And then he disappeared into the mist. For a moment nothing happened, then David came into view as he jumped out of the black fog. The demon shimmered and flicked into its solid form again. Wailing, it lashed out with its many limbs at David and knocked him off his feet. His sword flew out of his hand.

“DAVID!” screamed Kara. With incredible speed the creature wrapped its tentacles around David’s body. It lifted him up—and started pulling.

Panicked, Kara understood the creature meant to rip him apart. She searched frantically for the sword. Where is it! “Crap! Crap! CRAP!”

Kara caught a glimpse of something silver flash in the moonlight. Like a bullet, she bolted after the sword. She grabbed it, the blade heavy in her hand, and turned back. She ran towards the demon, the sword held high in her hand. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do with it, once she got there. But she knew she had to save David, no matter what.

The demon slammed David’s body hard on the ground. It lifted him up and started to pull his limbs.

Kara saw her chance. She took it.

She pushed off the ground and jumped in the air, landing on the creature’s back. She thrust the blade down into its head.

Black ooze poured out of the wound, like thick tar, drenching Kara in black blood. She pushed off and landed back on the ground. Immediately, the demon wailed and let go of David. He fell to the ground and rolled on the grass. The demon reached behind and pulled out the blade.
