Chapter Seventeen
Cool Demon Names Are Cool

I walked outside, I'm surprised no one even stopped me, maybe they just didn't notice me, oh well.

I threw the damn necklace at the ground again and raised hell, fire burnt furiously, but it didn't seem to be melting.. What is this even made of?

I grabbed another rock and with all my force, I began to hit the thing until I grew tired.

I let out an exhausted sigh, this was getting me no where.

Finally, an idea popped into my head, I raised my arms over my head and muttered the demonic spell under my breath, and before I even opened my eyes, the explosion blew me away a few feet, and the necklace a few who the hell knows? I lost the damn thing.

The grass and surrounding trees were on fire, but you know, I just lost what I came here to break and I kind of need that. I began searching around, looking behind the falling trees and under the tipped over statue of Francis.

I began to frown, I was no where close to freeing myself from that amulet, and now, I was pretty tired and it's fucking lost. Great, just great! This is just what I get for locking a person in a room...

"Hey isn't that the man that came out of that necklace?" Antonio asked as he ran up to a window.

"He did that?" Arthur asked, shocked, "Wait, ____ was wearing the necklace wasn't she? Does that mean she's outside too?" Arthur asked, searching the burning yard.

"I don't see her." Antonio responded, "That can be a good thing or a bad thing." He added in a whisper.

"I'll go check it out." Arthur spoke, rushing past Antonio, "You and Francis come and help me as soon as possible, alright?"

He had left the living room when Feliciano pouted, "Why does he never ask us to help?"

"Well he did, you know." Antonio reminded him, "When he asked you and Lovino to assist him in capturing ___, but then you betrayed him."

"But you betrayed him too.." Lovino muttered.

"Well, si, but come on, I'm Antonio, and am I cool guy or what?"

"What." Lovino quickly responded.

"I said, am I a-" Lovino cut Antonio off then and there, "No, I heard you."

---

I ran downstairs to try to make it to where the explosion took place, hopefully ____ wasn't there, hopefully she was safe...

---

So I made a ladder out of books, just by stacking and standing on them, you can reach almost everything!

It sure was wobbly though, haha, I sure wouldn't want to trip or anything!

Just as I thought that, the pile of books I was standing on tilted too far to the left and I lost my balance. I collapsed on the pile of books from my previous attempts so the fall didn't hurt as much as the first time...

After trying one last time, I finally came to the conclusion that I had made a mess in Francis's library and books were not meant to be stacked and stood upon, oh and I could not reach the window in the library.

I crossed my arms and looked around the room, how in the bloody world was that window closed-? Oh. There's a real ladder right there in the corner of the room.

My eye twitched. There was a ladder here the whole time...

---

As I was about to approach the front door, I heard a loud feminine shout. It sounded like an angry shout... I gulped, realising that was probably _____ and she was angry. It came from inside the castle though, so where was she?

I called her name outa few times, but there was no response, which made me slightly nervous, hopefully nothing happened to her...

"_____?" I called out once more, I walked up to every door I could see and knocked on it, and opened it to see if she was inside, after a while though, I heard pounding on a door, I was about to approach it when a fucking ladder flew threw it, breaking the door.

I watched as it was slowly pulled back inside and a small hand reached through the broken door and turned the lock, then _____ walked out.

She brushed her skirt off and then her eyes locked onto mine, "Oh, you saw that?" She asked, I nodded slowly.

"So you heard me screaming and you still didn't open that door?" She walked closer to me, causing me to step back and raise my hands in an surrendering fashion, "No! I swear, I just got here and I was going to open the door, but then that happened." I pointed at the broken door.

As we both looked over, it was then that I saw Francis laying asleep on the ground, I frowned as I approached, "Wake up you bloody wanker!"

"Were you honestly asleep through this whole thing?" I asked, poking him with the handle of the sword I had by my side.

He didn't move, "Francis!" _____ exclaimed running up to him, "Hey! Wake up, Francis!" She shouted. She lifted his hand and quickly dropped it, "He's cold." She said, wide-eyed.

"Cold? Only his heart is." I laughed worridly, I poked him with the handle of the sword again, but there was still no movement, causing ____ and I to grow anxious.

Was he... dead?

"Francis!" I frowned, "Okay you know what? If you don't get up this instant, I swear I will disfigure all of your clothes an make them more English!" I threatened.

At that moment, Francis jolted up, crying out, "Please don't!"

I... I couldn't believe it, he was actually crying because I said that, worse of all, I think he rose from the dead just so that I wouldn't do that...

"You're awake!" _____ smiled.

"Oui, but I had the strangest dream, you were there, mon cher! You were telling me that you had a thing for Art-" she quickly jumped foreword, covering his mouth with her hands, "No you shut up now, Francis, let dreams be dreams." She muttered to him.

After she removed her hands, he straightened his collar out, "I just came back to life and this is how you welcome me.." He huffed.

I held my hand out to _____ and helped her stand, Francis could get up on his own, I mean, he's not that hurt... Bloody frog...

"So if you remember that.." _____ blushed deeply, "Do you remember what happened that caused you to pass out?"

Francis thought for a moment as we made our way towards the others, "Well it's somewhat blurry, but I have an idea.. I think that once he tricked you into handing him the amulet, he managed to create his own body. And so, he no longer needed mine." He shivered.

"Wait now, who is he?" I asked.

"The necklace guy is a demon named Justin." _____ explained.

"Oh." I replied shortly. What a lame demon name, honestly, Justin? Surely there were better demonic names out there like oh I don't know, Bill Cipher? That's a pretty cool name..

"So he has the amulet now?" I frowned.

"Ah, yeah, but he took it to try to break it and free himself from it. He wasn't lying when he said that after being stuck in it for a while, he would be mad." Francis said, rubbing his head.

We walked up the stairs and met up with the others, "Bella, your safe!" Feliciano cheered as he continued hugging a wet painting of Lovino holding a plate of pasta.

I looked away shortly, this comes no where near to the weird I have seen in my lifetime..

"Oh, wait, I can't believe I forgot to ask, but shouldn't we go and take the amulet from that demon, Justin? Honestly, he could kill us, or worse, destroy the world if he is to break that thing." I asked.

"Fucking hell!" A man shouted from outside.

Antonio, who was watching the demon through the window tilted his head slightly before shaking his head, "No, I don't think it's nessisary, he's got his hands full out there on his own.."

I looked out the window beside Antonio to see the demon exploding trees every which way, "Where the fuck is it?" He shouted.

I scratched the back of my neck and narrowed my eyes, "Wait, did.. Did he actually loose that thing?"
