N O V . 2 4TH
6:24 AM
A fire burned ramped in the back ground lighting up one side of the vast hallway; allowing a long and slender shadow on the other wall with long and a fancy long-tailed coat flowing behind it as they skipped quickly down the torch-lit hall way.
"What is this nonsense about a little girl?"
"N-nothing! Honestly! You see I've no CLUE where people come up with such rubbish, I-"
"Dante!" They roared.
"Fine, fine fine... I've assemb-"
"Shut Up fool. Your ninny counter-half of a brother had to tell me... Gabriel, what ever that rat's name was. You better be glad I don't take your powers away from keeping secrets you ungrateful-"
"Yes master."
"Be gone. This plan better work out, it's on your life."
Leaving the tribe was kind of difficult for me. For Tommo, he just wanted to get out of there fast as possible and Ze thought so to. I felt some... connection with the place. Call me crazy, because I think I am, but after knowing I did most good, I felt wonderful, like it had to be done again, but I had no clue what to do now. I think I have the slightest idea what I'm supposed to do. Dante wants me to send demons back to hell, but why would anybody in their right mind want to go? I wish I could do what I did for Tak... to everybody.
That's a great idea.
Walking down the dirt path back to the bus stop, alongside Tommo and Ze, scurrying up ahead still holding by bag, I had a epiphany. What it was, will always be blurry to me. What told me to do so could only be heaven sent.
I'll help better the world.
And that's what I did.
"Blasted... I can’t find the girl." Spoke Dante, fiddling with a few obscure devices showing places where Ben had been found before. "Ugh.. What am I going to- RAKE!"
Out of the shadows in a fiery room with flames ablaze around him; crawled out Rake, emaciated and terrifying as ever, covered in bruises and gashes; most of them still bleeding. He wore a two-sizes-to-tight collar tied to a heavy chain connected to the wall. His face would say terrified.
"You, you rat." He spoke softly hurling a screwdriver at him, sticking in his bony arm with a yelp.
"I've a mission for you. Find the girl and take her back to the room." He spoke with angst, walking over to Rake who cowered between mad flames. "I can't seem to find her," He whispered with a smile, driving the screwdriver further in his arm; making Rake scream in pain. "Go on." He yelled, ripping the thing from his arm.
The path back to the bus stop was long, longer than I remembered it to be. Me and Tommo kicked a pebble back and forth as we walked, the sun rising, and warming our pale skin. There was little life around, to our knowledge, besides a few birds of prey that circled in the sky. This was the boring part.
"Tommo," I said, breaking the boring silence. "Where do you come from?"
"That's none of your business." I remarked, keeping a solemn look on his face.
"Oh... where do you live?"
"That's not important." He snapped, quickening pace. "Hurry now, we need to move faster."
I nodded as I kept up to his pace.
It took us at least an hour and a half to get back to the bus stop; where reading the schedule, another bus would rive at the same time it did last night. Oh joy. We sat on an old wooden bench that rested under a tin over hand to keep off the sun, I sighed; stressed, and tried not to let my female emotions take the better of me.
We sat there. And sat some more. Few people passed while we sat, and a troop of ants built a hill.
About 12:00 a bus came by, and that's when I got excited, but I was to tired to show it. It bumbled down the road and roared as the driver slammed on the gas.
"You think it's gonna stop?" Tommo asked.
"Nah. It's going to fast."
But to our surprise, when it neared us the driver slammed on the breaks and the door slung open; with a familiar face behind the wheel: Rake.
"Rake!" I squealed as he leaped from the driver's seat and dashed on all fours out to greet me; wrapping his giant arms around me, hugging. "What happened to you?"
"I tell you on way back." He said smiling, and waving at Tommo and Ze, who could actually see him.
