Chapter Two

Kristof woke up in his room.  He stared around, taken by surprise.  Oh come on, he killed me?!?!  He realized he wasn't breathing, and started gasped, taking in as much air as possible.  How'd he get us all so quickly?
          He stood up, his legs wabeling.  Slowly, he opened the wooden door behind him, slowed his racing heart, and walked out into the hallway.  He reached his hand out instinctively, grabbing the handle of the metal lantern, which was already lit, a red glow dancing through the hall.

          The house was very crowded.  Over the months, the walls had been scraped at by many chairs and tables, and they needed repainting.  Kristof walked by numerous doors, most being barricaded by furniture.  Finally, he opened the door at the end of the hall, stepping outside and breathing in the cool evening air.

          The moon was full, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky to block its light.  The whole world was still covered in darkness though, as though the moon wasn't really there, or like someone had blown it out like a candle.  By now it was almost midnight, and everyone had gone to sleep, or at least had went into the nonexistent safety of their homes.  The only sound was the singing of crickets, and the occasional wolf, dog, or coyote howling and crying.  It wasn't always like this...  It wasn't always so empty...  So quiet......
          All of the sudden a blond girl came, the green gems on the gauntlets she had on her hands glowing eerily.  "Hey Katherine,"  Kristof said, sitting down in the chair by the door.  "Did he get us all?"

          Katherine sat down, a scowl on her face.  "No...  Frederick is still out there..."

          Kristof shot strait up.  "What?!?!"  He ran back into the house, grabbing his sword, and making sure not to trip on anything.  "Let's get back out there then.  There's no telling how long it'll take before that demon kills him for good.  And some of the stuff in his bag is really important.  Come on Katherine lets go!"

          "Hi guys..."

          Kristof spun around, and there was Frederick.  "Frederick, are you okay?  Were you attacked at all?"

          Frederick walked up the steps, sitting down on the wooden porch.  "No...  That guy just kind of stole my bag and ran off.  Didn't even glance back."  He sighed, lifted his glasses, and rubbed his eyes and forehead.  "I was a little shocked at first.  I finally got out of there and ran all the way back.  I just got here, right in time."

          Kristof bit his lip.  "He has the bag?  Do you think he'll go give it to our "friend?"

          "No...  I think we might have all overreacted."

          Kristof raised an eyebrow.  "What do you mean?"

          "The readings may have kind of said he was a little bit of an ethereal.  You know, bird wings, halo over the head, peace for all eternity?"

          Kristof sighed.  "Come on, your saying we've got a demon angel running around, along with a full fledged demon, that's bent on ripping are heads off for a human shishkabob???"

          Frederick nodded.  "Pretty much."

          Katherine's frown seemed to grow.  "Do you think that guy will get murdered tonight?"

          Frederick moved his glasses a little.  "I'm not sure.  He's part demon, which would I guess kind of make the other demon one of his billions of uncles.  But at the same time,  if what I've read is even a little true, that guy is as good as dead."

          They all sat in silence for a while.  Finally, Katherine stood up, walking down the steps.  "So we're all sitting ducks right now.  Good for us.  I'm gonna go get some sleep, and then tommarow, I'm going to go out there, and punch someone in the face...  Sound good?"

A.N.

Sorry this chapter was short.  It'll get better in the next one.  Any who I wanted to say that What May Come is sort of going to be a fantasy/sci-fi super hero series.  If you want an OC, wether human, or not human, and wether having powers or no powers, just tell me, and I'll eventually put the character into the story, and give you credit for that characters creation.  Just give me the characters name, age, gender, powers (if any), weapons/items (if any), history, and/or other.  You may want to wait a few more chapters though, to see what this story is specifically like.  Feel free to give me OCs if you want.  Back-up characters are cool too.  That's all for now.  BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :-)
