J.D. ran out the door and past the startled face of Joe. He yelled at Joe to follow him and raced through the hall. He pulled his shirt over his chest as he ran, one foot still bare. Red lights set high in the walls rotated in rhythm with the alarm, making the hallway glow an eerie red. The lights began to flicker on and off. The sound of screams and torture filled the air and pounded into their heads.

The group in the rec-room stood in a panic. Karmen held her weapon trained on the doorway. J.D. and Joe came skittering around the corner and J.D. held up his hands.

“Don’t shoot!” He screamed.

“What the fuck’s going on?” Monica screamed, her eyes filled with terror.

“I just had a little run in with Satan,” J.D. said.

“What?” Mark asked, walking over, heedless of the danger.

“Something came into my room,” J.D. said, “something that first looked like Karmen. Then, it turned into my dad. Then, when I told it to leave, it said it would show me something a bit more ‘Hollywood,” whatever the hell that means.”

“The power’s going,” Lazlo said.

“We need to get to the control room,” Monica said.

“We go as a group,” J.D. ordered. “Joe and I will take the lead. Karmen, you come up the rear. Anything that moves shoot it and I don’t care if it’s Larry. As far as I’m concerned he’s the enemy.”

They gathered in a group. Joe and J.D. took the lead, their guns drawn and ready. In the pulsing red light everything looked menacing and shadows looked alive. They huddled as a group as they walked up the stairs. Karmen walked backwards, her gun panning left and right along with her eyes.

They reached the control room and Monica and Lazlo ran to computer consoles. Lazlo immediately began calling up images from cameras located beneath the rig. Monica called up screens showing motion sensors throughout the rig.

“There’s movement everywhere,” she said.

“Something’s coming up through the hole,” Lazlo said.

J.D. came over behind Lazlo and stared at the screen. Things were swimming up through towards the rig. Hundreds of shadowy figures moved, swimming with inhuman ability. They swam for the rig. Lazlo panned the cameras around and they saw more figures clinging to the legs.

“What are they?” Lazlo said.

“Demons,” J.D. replied.

The figures were definitely not human. Their skin looked like scales. Horns protruded from heads. Eyes glowed an eerie green. Hands and feet ended in claws and teeth looked filed to sharp points. These were the demons right out of medieval paintings and ancient nightmares.

“There are some already inside!” Monica screamed.

J.D. walked over and saw the screen indicating movement beneath them, under the room. There was other movement higher up, as if in the hallway.

“Joe!” J.D. said. “Check the hall. Is there anything in there?”

Joe walked over to the doorway and carefully leaned out. A flashlight was attached to the bottom of his rifle and it shone through the darkness. The hall was empty.

“All clear!” Joe said.

“They’re in the walls,” J.
