CIEL'S POINT OF VIEW:

I hated being here. I knew what Samuel compelled me to do and I was very unhappy with that. I waited for all the demons to go down to the basement and hang out for a while. When they did that, I took my chance and ran for the front door. I didn't hear them behind me so I kept running. I ran out into the woods that were surrounding the mansion I was stuck at.

I looked around and saw that everything looked the same. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know my surroundings and everything looked the same. I began to walk in random directions and hope that I would get away from the mansion but everywhere I went there were creepy things crawling around.

There were bunnies with the head of a snake and the tail of a lizard. There were bears with snake bodies, wolf heads, and the body of an elephant. The only normal thing about any of the animals around was their paws. They all had the paws of the original animal. They were also the same size.

Then there were these other things. They were all different sizes but all looked the same. They were a little transparent but I could still see the colors on them. They had circular bodies that were green and had two big muscular red arms with white swirls on them. They had big red noses and pointy teeth. Their eyes were white and had tiny pupils and they had red swirls above them. They also had a tail. It looked like a tail that belonged to a devil's costume. They also had three red spikes on there head.

They didn't look very dangerous to me but then I saw a rabbit hop by. The thing picked it up, ripped it in half, and swallowed it whole. Then it bolted off into the woods and it was fast. There were other strange creatures too. Some of them took human form. They all looked different but one stuck out in my mind. There was a guy with white hair and rich kid clothes. He had piercings above his eyebrows and one below his bottom lip.

He had pointy teeth and sharp claws that elongated from his nails. His ears were pointy like an elf and he had rams horns on the side of his head. The tips of the horns were covered in blood and he was surrounded by these strange looking bugs. The bugs were black and had a demon looking tail like the other things did. The humanoid creature in front of me had a tail like that too.

The bugs also had spikes sprouting out from their small circular bodies and had two wide green eyes with tiny pupils and a tiny green mouth that was shaped like an 'o'. That wasn't it either. As I ventured further into the woods I saw other things. One of them was big and tan. It had a ton of stitches. It had two heads too. One had black eye sockets and a mouth that was torn open and couldn't close.

It had pointy teeth and holes in it's body with rotting meat spilling from the open skin. The other head had nothing but stitches on it. It's tail was about the size of me and was pitch black. It lunged for me and tried to kill me but another strange thing jumped in front of me. It was small, like a toddler, and was wearing what looked like an apron. His skin was pale and he had large ears. His ears and back were purple.

He had two horns sprouting from his forehead. He had a giant red nose and bright yellow eyes. He had a purple beard. His chest was showing and in that moment I realized that the apron only covered part of his body. The bottom half of him was purple like the rest of him. He had a permanent blush and looked pissed.

He wore makeshift gloves and had a purple tail too. He attacked the thing in front of it and it disappeared and dissolved into dust. There were dogs that smelled of rotting flesh and had green, red, and brown fungi growing all over them. The little guy that saved my life grabbed my hand and began dragging me away from the dead dogs.

There was another humanoid like thing too. He had the face of a human and he had horns that sprouted from the side of his head. He had wings sprouting from his back and had a very bored expression. He had horse hooves for feet and was very muscular. When I saw him I gulped. I felt like he could smash me to a pulp in an instant if he felt like it.

The little guy just kept dragging me behind him until there was nothing but woods around. We sat on the rock trying to catch our breath. "Who... are... you?" I breathed. He squeaked and I realized that he couldn't speak English. "What were those things?" I asked. He had an idea and went to the sand by my feet.

I leaned over to see what he was doing. He wrote Demons in the sand. "I thought demons looked like people and just had extra powers." I said. He shook his head. Well that was something I found very interesting. I wondered if Sebastian knew about this. I thanked him and tried to find my way out of the forest but I found myself back at the mansion. I turned around and kept walking forward and again found myself at the mansion.

"That's impossible." I muttered. I turned around and walked straight forward again but again found myself at the mansion. I turned around and had a giant thing in my face. It had the head of a flower and the body of a snake and had a mermaid tail. It had bright yellow eyes and five arms.

It was about eight feet tall. It was huge and there didn't seem to be a way around it. The thing lunged for me. It hit me thousands of times until I was lying on the floor wondering how I was still alive. Blue flames erupted from it's body and it lunged for me again this time for the kill. But just before it could kill me someone sweeped me off of my feet and ran for the mansion.

I didn't want to go back there but at least there I knew I wouldn't die. I looked up to find Sarah cradling me in her arms. She layed me down on her bed and I just lay there slowly dying. She ran around the manor trying to find the potion that could heal me. I coughed and blood came out of my mouth. I winced at the pain I felt as I continued coughing.

Sarah came back and told me she couldn't find the potion. I asked her if I could have one last favor. She nodded and I asked her to get Elizabeth. A couple minutes later Elizabeth was in my room by my side, crying. "Please... don't cry. It's bound to happen to everyone sooner or later." I said coughing again.

"I know but your last few days have been torture and now you'll be... you'll be..." she sobbed. I leaned up and kissed her weakly. I didn't like girls but I knew she wanted this. She lowered with me as I rested my head on the pillow again. She grabbed my hand and wept. "I don't want you to go." she cried. "I know..." I said.

I closed my eyes and smiled at her. I opened them again and took my last breath. My hand went limp in her hands and I knew that I had died.
