Chapter Eleven

Thanks to a advice of a mysterious demon, Blaze hits the road with a ragtag group of misfits...

My life was never normal, but being chased down by other worldly creatures who want me dead, with a crazy demons, and an anti social one, who have managed to kidnap to humans within an hour. I realize that I am headed for the looney bin.

We have been on the road for a good couple of hours, and Rippir continues to torment the driver Mark, Fabian hasn't spoken, and the girl that got a pot to the head, has yet to wake up.

''Rippir, you could've killed the poor thing!' I curse at him, as I check her pulse, which is very weak.

''Then we would have dinner!'' he yells back. Every now and then the girl will twitch, her face while scrunch up, as if she is having a nightmare. Poor thing, once she wakes up, she'll realize that she is living a nightmare that she won't escape. i kinda hope she dies so she wont suffer the thing that is Rippir. 

Finally, her eyes flutter open, and a pair of grey eyes meet mine. They go wide in fear, as she remembers the events that took pace, that has landed her in the back of a hearse, with three demons. 

''Help me! Someone help me!"' she starts screaming, ''Derek! Derek help!'' she sits up, and makes a break for the door, only to be tackled by Fabian.

''Listen, I know how this looks, but we wont hurt you, we promise. Please, just sit down, your injured, and in the middle of no where. please? '' the car starts speeding up, and the world disappears in a blur. ''You jump, you will kill yourself'' Fabian tells her

''Better than being stuck with that lunatic!'' she spits out.

''Please? I'm Phoenix Blaze, this is Fabian Lupei. Fabe, get off her'' I command, and he does as I tell him, moving back to the bench.

''Coral Blackwell'' she mumbles.

''I wont hurt you, neither will Fabian,or Mark''

''what about the thing that is starring at me'' I turn around, to see Rippir starring at the girl, his lips moving ever so slightly. I wave my hand, drawing him out of his trance

''Turn around Rippir! Go back to your Mark'' he turns away, rolling his eyes at me. ''I'll keep him in line.  Please, sit down, and let your head rest. I imagine you have a killer headache...'' slowly, she moves back to the bench where she had rested before.

''What did he hit me with?''

''A flower pot...''

''What crazy person would do that?!'' 

''That one...'' I point to Rippir, who fiddles with the radio. 

''So what?  You guys on a road trip or something?''

''No, um... we are on the run. It's safer for a lot of people for us...''

'' and I'm here because?''

''You should rest Coral. Don't worry, you're safe, believe it or not'' I passed her one of the many blankets we had bought at a Walmart before we left, and she accepted it.

Hours passed by, and my a*s went numb. I watched the sun set over the highway, and finally, Mark announced how tired he was. We pulled into a hotel, sending Fabian in to handle the room. 

As soon as you entered the motel room, who were hit by the scent of mildew, and mold. Signs of flooding scarred the walls and carpets, and the frame around the door didn't fit properly, causing a draft to come, sadly the blankets on the two beds did nothing to fight it. 

The realization finally hit me, that my life will now be a series of s****y motel rooms, in a bed that had springs stabbing me in the back, and carpets that made your socks wet if you stood too long.

''Sooo... what are the sleeping arrangements?'' asked Mark, peaking out from behind Rippir.

''well Marky, you and I will forever share a bed, and the idiots can figure it out themselves'' Rippir informed us

''Thank you so much for your care'' I said, voice laced with sarcasm.

''You girls take the bed, I'll take the couch'' he nodded to the little two seater couch, right under the window

''I don't know, maybe I should, I can warm myself up if i need to.'' I told him

''I would feel odd sleeping with one of you...''He mumbled shyly

''Well, if ya get cold Faby baby, you can crawl in next to me'' Rippir said, giving Fabian a wink

''No funny business Rippir. You keep your hands to yourself, or I will burn them off. Got it?'' He nodded, looking a tad worried for his hands. 

It was 3:00 am, so we wasted no time in changing, and curling into our beds. Wearing socks on our feet, and sweaters to keep warm, as a cold wind blew through the room. Winter was close on our heels.

I tossed and turned until finally, at 5 am, I got out of bed, and went outside. Leaning against the railing, and trying, but failing to heat my body. I hated just how damn hard it was to control my powers, there was so much to learn, but i needed control. I didn't know how to gain control. 

''Phoenix Blaze?'' I heard from behind me. I turned, and spotted Mark, a blanket wrapped around his shoulders to keep warm.

''You can just call me Blaze'' I told him

''Why are you out here?'' he asked me

''Couldn't sleep. How about you?''

''Got woken up by something touching my... private areas''

''Rippir touched your dick?''

''With his mouth.... what seems to be bugging you?''

''Just wondering, if what he says is true. is there really some Queen out there that can save us, or we just blindly running into trouble. If we die, it'll be his fault.''

''Then, don't let him hurt you. You seem strong, in both power and strength. Just keep your guard up.''

''You do the same Mark. Don't be afraid to knock him in the head'' he smiled

''I never thought I would end up on the road with demons...''

''Same here. Rippir doesn't know a whole bunch about this world. None of us really do, we are just trying to piece it together.... I just hope we are doing what is best...'' Mark said goodnight, and went back in. When I came in, I spotted him asleep in a chair, far away from Rippir. Fabian has kicked off all the blankets, so I put them back on him, making sure he was warm. Coral seemed peaceful, while Rippir... he had it all hanging it out.

I finally fell asleep, to be woken up by a panicked group.

''What's going on?'' I mumbled, through my sleepy daze.

''Fabian's gone'' Coral told me. I looked around the room, the door was busted off its hinges, and the room was torn apart. The couch was ripped up, but there was no Fabian.

''That f*****g b*****d just f*****g left!'' cursed out Rippir ''After all I did for him!''

''How do you know he left?! What if he was taken?'' asked an innocent Mark

''Then we would be gone too.'' I told him. ''Get your s**t, we are going. We can look for him, it wont be hard, the next town is miles from this place, if he just up and left, then-'' I was cut off by Coral

''Guys, the cops are here'' she said, peeking out the window

''F**K!'' I cursed out

''They're coming this way. Guys what do we do?'' asked Mark, joining her at the window.

''Rippir. Rippir create a really dense fog, and we will run'' The room started filling with grey ''Not in here you dunce!''

''That's not me, that's the curtain you set on fire!'' he retaliated

''Fog! Holy f**k, send out f*****g, f****r fog, F**K!!'' I was freaking out, I was scared,we would go to jail for kidnapping, and vandalism. 

Rippir created a fog, hiding us from view. He took my hand

''Grab the others'' he told me. I took Coral's hand, and she took Mark's. Together we trudge through the fog, to where the hurse awaited us. 

Mark at behind the wheel, and I was shoved into the back, stifling a screaming when i spotted a body below me.

''Rippir! what the f**k?!'' he spun around from where he sat, watching out the window, and spotted the body.

''That isn't mine!'' I spotted the purple ends, and flipped the body over. It was Fabian's.

''FABIAN!'' I smacked him a couple of times, and his eyes opened ''Oh thank god!'' I lunged at him, wrapping him into a big bear hug, and squeezing him tight.

''What the hell is going on?'' he asked, once I let him go

''You don't remember?'' asked Rippir, coming up beside me

''No, he might not. It's common for half demons with his powers to not remember a span of time. They will become someone else, and not remember. you suffer from multiple  personality disorder. Don't you?'' I asked him. He nodded

''How do you know all this?'' someone asked

''You guys never read a book before?''.

We traveled on for more endless hours, filling Fabian in on what he missed, and now keeping an eye out on the road, for any cops. That was, until my eye lids became heavy, and I fell into a deep slumber.
