John stood very still, listening for the sound of the demon, probably charging at him, ready to tear his head off. The only sound was the crackling of fire off in the distance, and some people talking, far far away from here. He ha been standing in the same position for about a half an Hoir now, but nothing had happened. Kristof had ran off, saying he would listen for John, who would yell something out.

Katherine still wasn't back with her father, which John was partially happy about, one because Katherine seemed aggressive towards everyone and everything, and two because He was afraid her dad would shoot him in the head again. The bullet was still somewhere in his skull, but luckily all of his bones were made of a hard metal, according to Frederick.

Out of nowhere, the demon leaped beside him, walking around on four legs with a catlike grace. It stepped back, it's golden eyes starring into his, and he swore the sound it made was laughing. Oh dang, oh dang, oh dang!!! This is so disturbing, and it's freaking, me, out!!!!!!!! It went right by him, sniffing, which made his ear feel like it was burning. All of the sudden, John couldn't take it anymore, and he kicked the demon in its chin, rolling out from beneath it, and running. This time, it definitely was laughing, and it tried swatting at him like some large feline, playing with a mouse.

"Hoodihoo!!!!! Kristof!!!!!!!!! Need some help here!!!!!!!!!!!! Good gravy this guy is fast!!!"

Kristof jumped off the top of a roof, stabbing his sword into the demos tail, and keeping it in place. The area around the tail burned, but the sword didn't melt or distort at all. As the demon slowly turned around, Kristof pulled the sword out, dashed for the monsters head, at slashed at its face.

The demons face healed in a matter of seconds, but it jumped back in surprise at Kristof's aggression. "You don't like it when your food bites back huh?!?!" Kristof and the demon circled each other, waiting for an opening. The demon charged, and Kristof jumped out of the way, slashing at its side. It whacked him with his tail, and he went sailing into a house, the walls forming small cracks.

Turning around, the demon chuckled, starring at John. It looked like Kristof was dead, and to John's surprise, the necklace with the white stone flashed a bright blue light, and Kristof was gone. Awww, that was cool, I want a one of those things. The demon reared up, opening its mouth, and a red glow came from its throat as it screeched. Oh crud wait, he just died, and then came back, and I definitely need one of those necklaces, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! Red fire pored towards John, and he yelped in pain for a second, and then it all passed. He opened his eyes an looked around. Oh that's cool. Not dead. He looked forward, and the demon rammed its snout into his gut, catapulting him onto the roof of a house. Yep, definitely not dead yet... He groaned as he got up, a pain in his back and ribs.

As the demon came towards him again, he jumped at its underbelly, colliding with it, and both demon, and demon-angel sailed through the air. They both crashed through the ceiling of a building, wood and shards of stone going everywhere. John jumped back, and placed his hand forward. A small burst of fire came out, blinding the demon momentarily, and John took the time to run for it.

Right as he got out of the house, he ducked at the sound of a gunshot, and pit his hands up. "Not a demon, don't shoot! He's in the house, so you might want to get him right now."

Katherine's father walked past, his shotgun held forward. Katherine hung back, her gauntlets gems glowing a bright green color. "Where's Kristof?", she asked.

"Okay, so I don't think I'm ever going to say it's normal when I say this, but he got killed, and then he just teleported away."

Katherine's dad flew out of the hole in the roof, firing his shotgun in mid air. He landed on his side with a thud, but quickly got back up. As the demon blew fire while leaping out of the house, he shot at its eyes, along with the joints connecting it's bottom jaw to the rest of its head. The jaw fell off, and it hit the ground making a sort of screeching noise.

Katherine seemed could tell that John couldn't decide whether he should fight or not. "Just watch!!!", She yelled, racing forward. She punched the demon in the side, and then a group of boulders came out of nowhere, falling onto it like hail.

The demon jumped up, clawing at air, and it smacked Katherine away. It ran off, screeching into the night, further into the town. "Oh crud," Katherine's dad said, striding in the direction it had gone.

"What is it?", John asked, confused.

Katherine raced after her father, her eyes wide, but her scowl still there. "The necklaces we wear. They run on magic, a sort of science that isn't explainable right? Well all of that magic that's in the necklaces comes from a single gem in the center of town. Our demon friend is going there to destroy it. No magic in the necklaces, no infinite lives." She ran a little faster, and John ran too. Holly crud we need to hurry!!!
