Chapter Seven

Hearses and hostages

 How did I get myself into this? I ask myself continuously whilst driving a hearse full of demons. Where I got the hearse, well, I didn’t steal it. It was given to me by my kooky great aunt Bertha, in hopes that I will follow in her footsteps. Yeah, no thanks, I see enough dead people as it is. but she insisted I keep it anyways.

  I’m broken from my thoughts as I feel a tug on my hair. I quickly turn to my right to see the same purple eyed demon who visited me just days ago, grinning at me.

“Quite the car you’ve got here Marky, I love the back, matches my pants. If you think the outside is a party, you should see the inside,” It says, licking it's teeth while putting it's feet up on the dash board, stroking it's leg before swiftly returning to my hair.

 As I continue driving, I’m almost out of the Hospital parking lot before I hear a quick and calm

“Stop the car.”

“Don’t tell my Marky what to do, only I get to do that! Besides you have to ask nicely. Marky, won’t you please stop the car so our beloved Faby baby can retrieve whatever the f**k it is he needs?” The demon blinks at me with a smirk, taking no notice to the fact I stopped when I was first told.

“Rippir, look to your right,” It demands.

The demon is quick to look outside it’s window to see person of feminine feature who appears to not be the most happiest or pleased person at the moment.

“Hmmmmm, I don’t know Faby baby, I’m more into the brown hair, green eyed, masculine type than some blonde chick with a scowl,” it says winking at me whilst describing it’s ideal partner.

“Acheron she-“ It starts but is quickly cut off by the demon next to me.

“Rippir” it growls at the one earlier addressed at “faby baby”

“Rippir, we could use her as ransom, get a little money out of the deal” 'Faby baby' responds.

“Wait, I thought that was what the one driving the hearse was for….?” The new girl sitting in the back says.

“No! Nobody touches one hair on Marky's head, and if you do, you answer to me! I’ll grab her just give me a second!” It growls out, words full of anger and hatred.

 In one quick move it crawls out the window and walks up to the girl. I see some communication happening before “Rippir” quickly looks at his surroundings, before picking up a potted plant near the hospital garden and whacking the girl over the head with it.

“Fabian! Come help me,” it says. In response Fabian rolls his eyes and is then pushed out of the car by the new girl.

“Jesus Blaze, didn’t need to be so damn aggressive.” It mumbles.

“Well then hurry up, Fabian before someone notices hot pants carrying some passed out chick” The new girl addressed as Blaze responds.

“We’re at a hospital, they probably just think he’s bringing her in” 'Fabian' retorts.

“Well then go help Rippir before someone comes out with a goddamn gurney to strap her to!” Blaze responds strictly and with sass.

“I’m going, Christ!” Fabian says before turning around and going to help Rippir. They're quick to shove the girl into the back of my hearse before hopping in themselves, well crawling in Rippirs case, I’m not quite sure why he insists on window travel so often.

“Okay, problem solved, take us away Marky” it smiles at me before returning to my hair.

 I repeat, how did I get into this?
